If it wasn’t for those meddling kids!

Posted on October 13, 2008 by Solonor

Did you know: you can’t spell “asshole” without “Stossel”? It’s true! John Stossel in one of his annoyingly smug 20/20 pieces suggests that young people are too stupid to vote. You can watch the whole thing here. While I don’t … Continue reading →

I have my Bruce “Don’t Call Me Ash” Campbell bookmark and a pocket full of memories… or is that a popcorn shell?

Do the Hustle

Posted on May 1, 2005 by Solonor

Went to see Kung Fu Hustle last night. I haven’t laughed so hard in a theater in a long time. If Tex Avery and Jackie Chan had a baby, this would be it. Like Shaun of the Dead, this isn’t … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film

Posted on April 12, 2005 by Solonor
