Awesome box set sale at deepdiscountdvd.com…

• 1 December 2005

http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com (look for the link over to the right of the home page)
They are selling a bunch of DVD box sets for buy-one-get-one-free, *after* their discounts. In other words, the first two seasons of Green Acres street price at $30 each, while deepdiscount sells them for $22. Since they are buy one [...]


Life in George Bush’s Amerikkka…

• 1 December 2005

Here we see Santa Claus, symbol of Bush’s theocratic Amerikka, predictibly yet chillingly ‘greeting’ passerbys with a Nazi salute. A living symbol of Bush’s anti-Muslim jihad in Iraq, Santa’s goosestepping presence on our public streets is no doubt particularly discomforting to minorities and women.
Why women, particularly, I don’t know; but whenever employs [...]


Things I Regret…

• 30 November 2005

That Lance Henriksen never got the chance to play General William T. Sherman in a biopic. I think he would have been perfect casting.


It Came from the Library Shelf! The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross

• 29 November 2005

As horror fantasy has become more popular and ‘realistically’ portrayed (in the same manner that superhero comics are now more ‘realistic’), it’s basically been portrayed more systematically. In other words, if you exist in a world in which fantastical things are real, then somebody must be aware of this and working to deal with [...]


Weekend at Sandy’s, Part 2

• 25 November 2005

Time to continue my belated P (‘P’ for Sandy Petersen) Fest report before I forget everything.
As noted earlier, I flew down from Chicago and Chris Holland drove from Austin to Dallas, where we met up at Stately Petersen Manor to sit on our butts and watch B-movies all weekend.
Following the Friday night showings, we rose [...]

Giving thanks…

• 24 November 2005

I hope everyone had a great holiday, and let me give thanks to everyone who has come by the blog here, as well as the main site. It’s been great to have another mechanism for hanging out with people, albeit admittedly in a somewhat abstract fashion. And thanks as well to all the [...]


The bounty continues…

• 22 November 2005

Man, this birthday thing is such a scam.
Having no morals whatsoever, and trying to save a couple of bucks, I suggested last week to my circle of work friends that the King Kong/Son of Kong/Mighty Joe Young set due out today would be a nice gift. It also wasn’t outrageously priced for a number [...]


New on DVD (11/22/05)…

• 22 November 2005

The big DVD news of the week, of course—the year, really—is the long-yearned for arrival of the original King Kong. There are a number of options. The two-disc set is available by itself, and features a movie-length documentary by Peter Jackson, commentaries, and a whole bunch o’ crap.
You can also buy [...]


Arriving today on DVD…

• 21 November 2005

Deepdiscountdvd.com last week had their (so far) annual 20% off sale–off the already discounted prices they normally sell stuff for. It’s a good time to buy box sets and stuff, and today I recieved part of my order, which probably would have been bigger but I’m closer to being broke than I like.
Today I [...]
