Game of Thrones Winners and Losers: The Red Woman

Game of Thrones Winners and Losers: The Red Woman
In my Game of Thrones posts about winners and losers, either you win or you lose. It’s really a lot less deadly than the actual Game of Thrones. Since I didn’t mention it in my recap post yesterday, I want to let you in on how I’m personally handling this season. Yes, I’ve read all... Read more »

Game of Thrones premiere recap: The Red Woman

Game of Thrones premiere recap: The Red Woman

It’s like getting to spend time with a bunch of old friends who want to kill and/or bang each other.) Here’s what went down in our various locations: The... Read more »

Summer Movie Forecast 2016

Summer Movie Forecast 2016
With Batman already fighting Superman in March and The Jungle Book absolutely crushing the box office last weekend, nobody could blame you for thinking the summer movie season was already under way.  You’d be wrong though.  Summer officially starts (for movie geeks anyway) on May 6, when Captain America: Civil War is unleashed. As regular... Read more »

Free Speech for Dummies

Free Speech for Dummies
Yesterday we had a real “Don’t Read the Comments” Day on the internet. But, Jules, every day is a “Don’t Read the Comments” Day on the internet. You speak the truth, other me.

#RealYA: Don't be horrible to your college roommate. You might end up running for president someday.

Ted Cruz thinks people don’t have a right to “stimulate their genitals.” I was his college roommate. This would be a new belief of his. — Craig Mazin (@clmazin) April 13, 2016   Your campaign for president cannot start the day you announce your candidacy. Ask Donald Trump about that. He’s learning that lesson right... Read more »

Keeping up with the konspiracies

Keeping up with the konspiracies
It’s a boring week in political/celebrity news. Sure, Kirsten Dunst split from her boyfriend, that guy in the movie with Gwyneth, but THAT’S IT. Lame. So I think this is a great opportunity to look at the REAL news no one wants you to know about. The conspiracies. The theories. The stuff that is just... Read more »

Movie Revue: Demolition, The Boss, Hardcore Henry, Midnight Special, and more
