I don’t know whether or not to laugh at the reviews for 12 oz. Mouse, which probably means I shouldn’t. So I won’t, but too many people review the show — and even love the show — without having the slightest clue about what it’s driving at. Which is fine and all, the creators [...]

Still very pissed off, Island People. Why do would-be parents need to have a hundred babies, but can’t bare to adopt one? I mean, can’t people see that if they adopt instead of having their own, they’ll be helping to solve a problem, rather than be the cause of it? Can you imagine, being some [...]

It’s so hard to tear myself away from Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom, my favorite game. I’m currently building a section of The Great Wall, carving jade, and encouraging trade relations among the cites of Ancient China. Ahh, all my beautiful bitches at work. I can’t wait until they come out with new edition [...]

I read a blog today where someone was talking about initiating change you life, like eating somewhere new, etc., which sounded great. But then, I remembered this Japanese short horror film, called “The Wish”. In it, a lonely, adorable young boy wishes for a friend, and when he decides to walk a different way home [...]

Faith and I developed this thing a few years ago we like to call The Drinking Game, which is almost like an abstract bingo for Stat Trek: TNG. Basially, we watch an episode of TNG and wait for clues of the creepy shit that seems to be happening on that ship, just under the surface.

Okay, my title may be a little misleading, but hear me out:
White tigers, while just as physically healthy and capable as regular tigers, are actually genetically inferior. Because they lack camouflage, white tigers can’t survive anywhere but in captivity. Now I don’t really have anything against saving tigers. What I actually mean is:
Eugenics is a [...]

So, I just wanna say, to anyone who needs a mood lifter, the classic comics section of SomethingAwful.com will cheer you right up. So far, my favorite titles are “Goon Romance” and “Really Fucking Detailed Tales of Twincest!” Goddam Right It’s Worth 10 Cents!
So I’ve been casually following Inuyasha for the last half year, and [...]

I wanted to say two things about D&C:
One, it’s just swell how often the old Batman comics made accidental gay jokes.
Two: Fuck Smallville! (That’s right, I said it, and I’ll say it again, make no mistake!)
I adored Superman Returns, it was, hands down, the lovliest Superman story I’d ever seen, even with what’s her face [...]

So, Island People, I don’t usually do this, but something has happened to warrent a Very Special Episode of Laota’s Blog:
If you’re an Asian horror film fan and someone ever tells you about an horror flick called “The Vanishing Twin,” for the love of all that’s good and sweet in Odin’s Beard, don’t watch it. [...]

Have you ever felt like, if you heard one more person call Star Wars “Episode Four, A New Hope” you were gonna to thread George Lucas through a grommet? God-damn Star Wars prequels, god-damn it! Except for Palpatine, none of them really has a decent story worth making a film about. From title credits till [...]
