The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is a work of unmitigated genius. What do I really have to say about a show where the host kills half his air time mugging for the camera, his sidekick is a gay robot skeleton and they actually have the balls to put a pantomime horse on screen for NO REASON?I suppose I previously knew of this show but I didn't really start watching it until about a month ago

If you're waiting for my review of Transformers 3, you'll be waiting a long time. I'm not paying good money to see this shitfest of a farce of a movie. Not a chance. You've already gotten enough of my money, Mr. Bay. Fortunately, I didn't have to. Some kind (or perhaps malicious) soul had uploaded a shaky cam vid of the last ten minutes to YouTube (which was inevitably taken down due to

As Beauty Day comes closer and closer to being realized before mine eyes, I found myself laying in bed yesterday, about to drift off to sleep when it suddenly hit me: Cap'n Video- The Video Game. Oh yeah, you know it'd be sweet. Riding around Tony Hawk-style on the motorized skateboard, picking up gas cans and nitro power-ups, dodging cars and civilians, smashing TVs with hammers and remote

One show that's kind of a guilty pleasure for me is Canada's Worst Driver. Granted, I don't go out of my way to watch it and if there's anything even half-way decent on TV I'll skip it but if I'm twiddling my thumbs and there's absolutely NOTHING on but CWD I'll watch. It's pure schadenfreude at it's finest, watching these incompetent ninnies struggle hopelessly with the common necessities of

My sister was flipping through the channels late last night and stopped on Conan O'Brien's new talk show simply titled Conan. I protested that listening to self-absorbed celebrities peddle their wares and/or prattle on about things they are not qualified to discuss is not only boring, but actually kills human brain cells. She retorted that his monologues are good and she would change the channel

I'm convinced that "Pants off/Dance off" is the ultimate end of television, they're officially out of ideas. Now, I realize that Much Music really doesn't have a mandate anymore since YouTube and file-sharing have basically neutered the music industry and made their raison d'etre redundant but if they're looking for something that will gain them viewership in the increasingly crowded shitscape

I put a lot of weight behind the power of logic. Here's an example of logic in it's highest form, argument against the absurd:The problem of course is that this sort of effort, no matter how calmly presented, no matter how well reasoned, no matter how iron-clad simply will not sway those who have chosen to abandon logic in preference to belief. Belief after all is by definition the supposition of

It occurs to me that if there is a war between religion and science then science cannot win. Why? Because science ultimately aids religion."Wait," I hear you cry, "how does that make any sense?" Well, think about it historically for a moment. For most of human history, religion was regional. The reason you didn't find temples to Zeus in China or mead halls dedicated to Odin in South Africa was

I caught some of Forrest Gump on TV the other day and you know if you think about it, the lesson it tries to teach us all is seriously fucking AWFUL. The basic premise of the film is that for all it's ups and downs, life really is worth living and we should appreciate the things we have while we have them. The problem is that it's telling us this from the viewpoint of AN IDIOT.For one thing

I only heard about this movie recently and I have to say I was kinda surprised. I thought that after failing THREE TIMES IN A ROW to create a successful sequel to Highlander that the various studio types had learned their lesson. Not so. Apparently someone somewhere thought it was positively vital that the saga of Duncan McCleod have a definitive end point (yeah Duncan, the guy from the TV series

In a previous post I stated, "NOTHING can get in the way of being a true D&D nerd including the desire to lose one's virginity", but I spoke too soon. Just playing D&D in your basement is enough to keep the opposite sex away, but actually creating your own pencil & paper role-playing game can crown one the Lord of All Virgins!

I never wanted to see this movie. All of us however will inevitably be forced to watch something at the behest of our significant others, so I guess it was my turn. Like many people, she had loved the book as a child. If I were to try to put into words how much she was disappointed by this film I would say it would be like promising a blind child eyesight for Christmas and then giving him a cold

Law Abiding Citizen was 109 minutes too long. The second the main character portrayed by Gerard "This IS Sparta" Butler (whose best work was in Dracula 2000) was revealed to be an black ops engineer specializing in false flag and deniability missions, the screenwriter should have backed up a hundred pages and rewrote the opening of the movie.If a "law abiding citizen" happens to have first-hand

The Academy AwardsTM are currently underway where actors and movie producers self-gratify each other on live TV, letting the entire planet know how great they are because, evidently, being multi-multi-millionaires just isn't enough. So how about I put the Oscars in pespective for all those in attendance at the Kodak Theatre.There were 518 movies released in 2009. Out of those 518, the "Academy"

I was watching the closing ceremonies of the Olympics just now. I was actually double-watching it as I kept switching back and forth between the American and Canadian coverage. If you missed it after Neil no-longer-Young's warbling, the closing consisted mostly of saccharin, self-deprecating rounds of not-very-funny comedy from the likes of William Shatner, Catherine O'Hara and Michael J. Fox.

Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace is the worst movie I have ever had the displeasure to watch in a movie theatre. When I saw it opening day ten years ago I distinctly remember the crowd cheering with a standing ovation during the opening crawl, but during the end credits two people were clapping while everyone else just sat there with a blank stare on their face.

Dragon Wars (or "D-War") is a terrible movie. And I say that not as a note of criticism but rather out of a sense of disappointment because it shouldn't be. In terms of presentation, D-War is excellent, boasting special effects and costuming on a level far above what should be expected of a B-movie. I even feel akward referring to it as a "B-movie" because again, I can't shake the impression that

I've now seen the worst movie ever made in the history of film. Yes, that is quite the claim and obviously no, I don't mean in comparison to the millions of home movies and bad sex tapes that are made every year, I'm speaking strictly of movies made by so-called professionals in the hopes of making a profit. What is this movie? Transmorphers.No, that's not a typo, you read it right: TransMORPHers

Surprisingly, that motivation has been made public in the following piece of art from a series of works by Wilhelm Staehle, who decided to reveal this industry secret:

Because this “movie” cost over $62 million American dollars to make.

Thus far, I haven't said anything about the upcoming summer release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen by one Mr. Michael "Cue Bombs" Bay. There's a reason for that: I have had trouble formulating thoughts beyond the word "FUCK".I know little of the plot but if it's anything like the first one, that's not a concern. I DO know I still hate the designs and the new designs even more so.

Neil Gaiman is a fantastic writer even if he spends most of his talent in what is probably the poorest written entertainment medium of them all - comic books. His book Coraline was excellent, but this quote from an interview he did in 2005 is that much better:"...Hollywood executives really love the smell of their own urine and what they really like doing is urinating on things.

I was sitting in McDonald's eating my dinner and had reached the midway point between "Oh GOD, it' SO good!" and "Please don't make me look at it or I'll throw up..." when I glanced out of the window and saw a rabbit in the drive thru. Yes, a rabbit. He was just hoping around aimlessly at first, then hopped off past the outdoor seating area and back into the night from whence he came.If you're

For the first time in my life I'm actually excited about a political debate! And I am not talking about the Canadian Federal snorefest, but rather the American Vice Presidential Debate tonight. My excitement stems from the same rush spectators get while watching NASCAR or Formula 1 - the potential for CRASHES - and all the fire, shattered glass, burnt rubber and broken bodies that come with it.

A couple days ago a guy on a Greyhound bus snapped and sawed off some poor kid's head with a hunting knife after stabbing him several times. This was an horrific crime that will probably leave the other people on the bus scarred for life and has left a family without a son. And while they all have my sympathy, it's also got my blood boiling in a way it hasn't boiled for some time.Hello again,

I know this has been discussed many times before but really, Super Mario is ALL about drugs. He takes a magic mushroom that he thinks makes him grow (shrooms). Consumes a glowing flower that gives him super powers (opium). A jar of clear liquid opens a magical door to an alternate world (acid). A leaf gets him "high"(pot). Flashing stars make run fast... um... hmm... speed... coke... meth... well

I was watching the ol' tube today (as opposed to the new tube that is YouTube) and came across a news article on CNN. Apparently, the latest china-made toy in a spate of recalls is an arts-and-crafts kit (called by various names in different countries) consisting of small, plastic beads with a chemical coating. You put the beads together on a frame and add water, creating a fast-acting binding

I don't really know what to say about the Transformers movie now that I've finally seen it. If you've been following along (and if you have seriously, seek help) then you already know my opinions on most of the film's content. I still hate, hate, HATE the overly complex robot designs. I still can't stand the idea of Optimus with lips. Bumblebee just doesn't work as an action hero for me. Megatron

UPDATE: Seems Voldemort kills Snape, Harry kills Voldemort and then bangs Ginny.Thanks to the lack of control media conglomerates have over the Internet, we now know the "surprise" death in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will not be, as speculated, Mr. Potter, but instead Severus Snape. At some point in the story, Snape will sacrifice himself to either kill Voldemort or allow Harry to land

I was watching a debate on TVO last night about the relevance of religion in the modern era specifically relating to Richard Dawkin's book - The God Delusion. The panel (a spiritualist, an Imam and a psychologist) concluded that Dawkins was basically wrong, and that we need religion to be fully human.In particular, I found the arguments against violence and religion being specifically connected

Yes, Mr. Dawkins can be belligerent, elitist and aggressive, but none of those personality traits make him wrong.I found this particular lecture to be most informative, especially the part where he discusses the correlation between higher intellect and a lack of religious conviction.This makes sense since all religions are mainly comprised of superstition and dogma used to control the poor and

Last night the Movie Network aired a documentary entitled Addiction about how the brain functions inside the skull of various substance abusers from heroin to cigarettes. The show also discussed the various treatment and drug programs available nowadays.

This movie has been accused of being homo erotic, lacking plot and containing propaganda for the current US Administration.

If you're anything like me, you'll appreciate the grimly precognitive nature of the film (whilst simultaneously ignoring the idiotic, tacked-on romantic plot which is even mocked within the film itself). Network is considered a satire but like all great satire it's built on the sardonic and presents us

As the end of the year draws near, I feel the need to share a new item I have just added to my long list of things that pissed me off in 2006. This list already includes the very existence of K Fed, celebrities who should know when to shut the f*ck up and Jesus Campers. My latest addition is Viral Marketing.As the name suggests, Viral Marketing is a plague set upon the earth by brainless

I'm trying to figure out why ANYONE would want to line up at Best Buy and wait in the bitter cold and rain, just so they can be one of the lucky few to own Sony's latest stillborn system. Are they just that eager to endure countless bugs and hardware issues that should have been resolved months before this thing ever got near a retail outlet? Can NOBODY recall that when PSX was launched it was

I've seen this on about three different occasions now and I'd like an explanation. Please. An explanation for what you ask? Why the latest soccer-mom abomination - dream catchers hanging from rear-view mirrors. So… are you going to catch forty winks at the stoplight? Have a power nap in the Timmies drive-thru? Call me cynical, but I don't think the person driving that car has the slightest

Last night, I rented the latest Ratnerfest entitled X-Men: The Last Stand knowing full well what I was getting myself into. Now this movie is not as bad as I thought it would be, but then again I can say the same thing about a prostate exam. X3 contains more holes to fill than Paris Hilton in front of a night vision camcorder.The "plot" consists of a mutant codenamed Leech, who has the ability to

I'm beginning to suspect that even the simplest logic is extremely expensive in California. Perhaps there's a tax on it or something because how else can so many movies be easily destroyed by a simple, logical question? No, this isn't about the upcoming Transformers debacle, there's plenty been said about that already (and plenty more to come, you can be sure!), this is just about the general

This released leaked image of Bumblebee is from the upcoming Michael Bay movie The Transformers out next year. The reason behind the drastic difference in Bumblebee’s design between the film and the 80’s TV show version is due to Bay’s hard-on that the Transformers Movie is as realistic as possible and the Transformers themselves have, "advanced kinematics and realistic engineering."Now even I

I'll admit it; I've grown immune to the Iraq war debacle. The damage, the waste, the money, the bodies... it's all just numbers now, it has no impact for me. Part and parcel of that is the use of jargon by the talking-head media that supposedly brings us the "news". Small wonder the term "I.E.D." has slipped by me until now. Just part of the background noise really, three little letters that

Say what you will about Dungeons & Dragons enthusiasts and LARPERs as caricatured in the mocumentary Fear of Girls below, but at least they go outside and INTERACT WITH OTHER HUMAN BEINGS as opposed to the World of Warcraft nuts who shun social interaction, freak out over immaterial "cloudsongs", ridicule those with no "epics", take "guild" memberships WAY too seriously and ultimately fail to

"Genius" is obviously the culmination of a PC, a copy of Star Wars and too much free time.

Why are most people in horror movies retards? Oh, I know, there's an intention on the part of the director to get the audience to say, "Dude, don't go in there!"But there are limits and here is a moment that pushed beyond mine: All Souls Day, an average B zombie movie filled with the typical zombie clichés (four college students trapped in a house with no way out etc., etc.) And yes, one of them

With Rotten Tomatoes rating Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest at a paltry 52%, movie critics have, once again, demonstrated how out of touch they are with reality. The reviews exclaim things such as, "It's often unclear what's going on, beyond a zillion dollars of splashy effects washing over the screen."What? It’s a brain dead summer action movie you moron. What did you expect? Jack

Matt sent this video to me last night. It's a clip from the film Network. The dialogue is indicative of how on-the-nose the writing in that movie was back in '76. How sad that 30 years later nothing has changed...

Ever wonder why they seem to be constantly running checks on the Enterprise computer systems?It's probably to stop shit like this from happening.

As a surprise to no one, Paramount will be releasing a teaser trailer for the upcoming film The Transformers by Michael Bay as leaked in this article. The fact that people are so interested in reading any morsel of info about a teaser, I realized how acceptable releasing them has become. It’s a common, yet cancerous, practice in Hollywood. If you happen to be the type of brain dead consumer

New rule: If you're going to engage in a scientific debate and ANY portion of your argument includes the phrase "Well, in the Bible it says..." YOU LOSE.The Bible is a BOOK, got it? It was written by MEN - not God. What's more, it was written over the course of 2000+ years by dozens of different authors. It was translated and re-translated between at least five languages so there is no absolute
