Best: Much as I hate GM, the clear winner (by Victor’s Entirely Subjective Yet Infallible Belly Laugh Test) was the Chevy Mayan Apocalypse ad. The rain of frogs at the end put it over the top. In several senses. Runner-Up: The Audi Vampires. And not just because they came during the first commercial break, right after [...] RED: clever script, spot-on direction, and pulling off the difficult feat of mixing ripping action with laugh-out loud humor make this my kind of rom-com. New take on the best version of H. G. Wells’s Martian Death Machines ever. My favorite Christmas movie = DIE HARD. Yours? Why do we love to watch Shit Blowing Up?
I know I do! Where did that come from? If you think about it, it seems decidedly counter-survival to be drawn to big, loud, fiery blasts.

It’s ideal for SciFi’s plan to “Shed Geeky Image With New Name.” I mean, syphilis is a [...] Everyone on Earth seems to agree the Watchmen comic book series is the greatest thing since sex. I’m not so sure.
Who, indeed? Now with the movie coming out – to mixed reviews – the one consensus seems to be the unassailable perfection of the original. So let me be the heretic rebel here [...] First off: looks as if I didn’t get sick after all, so Joe and Larry are off the hook for the whole Mystery Plague thing. That’s a relief. I didn’t look forward to texting them to get used to the idea of wearing their lungs on the outside or anything.
