Number one Search term on Google for the past 2 hours, “Return to Halloweentown” it’s after 7pm all over the US right now. It is literally past the bedtimes of the majority of the people using Google to search now. Nice. Also, how is it that saltpeter became so popular? Did someone on TV...

Sigh, yet another top ten list on Digg. Every day another list. Crappy Top Ten lists (except for cracked who seem to have a good handle on such things) are thick on the ground these days and getting thicker. Why bother with a substantive article about 80s nostalgia and the vagaries of movie production...

I strongly disliked the Michael Bay “Transformers” movie. So much so that I didn’t crack the DVD my Mother in Law got me for Xmas. It’s sitting up on my Random Crap shelf with some tea lights and Mr. Skull. I hated the way the source material was just “character names, object labels and...

I hated Wall-E so much that when a Mefite posted a link to an old story about it; I found an equally old review and decided to take them down a peg:

This is going to be a very spoiler-heavy review; as I want to save you from seeing this one. I have enjoyed every Nic Cage movie that I’ve seen over the past decade; but I have to say, avoid “Knowing” until you can watch it for free or you are having a “bad movie”...

I present the thing I’m pissed off at in total:
