I Saw Winnie The Pooh Early, And Am Only Now Talking About It.

As I said in the title there, I was able to see an early screening of Winnie the Pooh, which opens on the 15th, the same day some boy wizard becomes a man(or some shit like that). It is great, as if you could think otherwise, but if you would like a bit more than that, read on!

There goes the summer…WITH DRAGONS [ADwD]

It’s that time. Only six years have passed since the last in the Song of Ice and Fire series was released, so the most of us have been waiting to see what the scoop is with the characters we like and not the crumb-bums of Feast for Crows. This is going to be a short post because I need to get to reading, but look at these few pictures of A Dance with Dragons! Oh man!

Carl Sagan’s Cosmos series makes me want to learn ALL THE THINGS

Arriving woefully late to the party is generally a bad thing: everyone has already had their hands in the dip, and you missed out on telling the overzealous host, “You know, that sounds great, but I don’t know if I can play Apples to Apples with this drink in my hand.” Luckily, arriving late to television shows brings none of these pitfalls, and while Cosmos first aired thirty years ago, it still holds power to someone just finding out about it today.

Episode 130: Pedantry


Ah, the Fourth of July. It’s a great time of the year when we all go out and light things that end up exploding. It’s also the time of year when the biggest of the big summer popcorn films come out to amaze the masses. For this episode, we discuss that big film, and we nitpick the crap out of it!

Video and show info after the break.

As I’m Prone To Say, This Looks Pretty Good

This was showing when I was at SXSW in 2010, but like a good number of movies that were showing there, I didn’t see it. While I did see quite a few really awesome films, this was not one that jumped out, and seeing this trailer, I wish I had taken the plunge.
