Despite my penchant for movies where the plot can be summarized as, “People run around; stuff blows up,” I am fairly unlikely to watch The Kingdom. (I have my limits.) Nevertheless, the trailer is quite instructive. If you’re ever wondering, as I often do, “Gosh, what is the Bush administration thinking?” your answer may be […]

Owing to the wonders of P2P leakage, I, like many of you, saw Michael Moore’s Sicko. Like most popular political documentaries (and recent Moore documentaries in particular), it doesn’t contain a lot of new information for anyone already participating in the reality-based community. In my case (as is the case for almost all Canadians), […]

Mrs Alexandra over at Homeliving Helper knows that feminists are out to destroy Western civilization. And we’re doing it by causing women to ‘forget’ that we actually like having to stroke a guy’s ego for 40+ years just to get some of those precious, precious resources. Doing this creates two new problems: one […]

I saw 300 today, and while I was impressed with the cinamatography (it looked, for all the world, like someone was holding up a graphic novel in front of my face while narrating the story to me), it left me a bit cold. It really could have used more nipples. And the […]

Yesterday we continued our weeklong worship of the powerful insights into the psyche of emotionally crippled men offered by Men’s Health dimbulb David Zinczenko. Among other things, Zinczenko celebrated the charming tendency of guys like him to hide behind movie quotes as a way to express their “feelings” without entering the danger-zone of originality […]

Yesterday we discovered the enlightened teachings of David Zinczenko, the editor-in-chief of Men’s Health who defends moronic male behaviors via his lameass blog.

You can tell I’m sensitive because of the lighting.
In one of his least coherent arguments (and that’s saying something), Zinczenko claims it’s normal for a guy to talk in movie quotes […]

Roman Polanski is repugnant, especially by the standards of feminism. As a rapist dodging responsibility for his crime, the man’s done real harm with his personal actions.
But can an ugly soul make a beautiful film? While this has been the subject of much debate elsewhere, I firmly believe you can separate […]

“Thanks to this rad artistic lighting, I look like a totally important artist. Carol Reed ain’t got shit on me!”
Try as he might, poor McG can’t fool himself for long. As much as he’d like to think himself a true auteur, the director of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle and the man selected to […]

Fast Food Nation is out today!
The book was excellent and I highly approve of the movie’s unexpected format - you’d think it would be a documentary like An Inconvenient Truth, but it’s not. Anyway, I’ll be seeing it this weekend and you should, too.

This is too delightful: the asshole frat boys from “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” are suing basically every production company involved in the making of the film.

Legal papers said the two men “engaged in behaviour that they otherwise would not have engaged in”….
According to legal documents, a production […]

This one’s for you, Marc.

When the rest of the world denounces the American/British Abbott & Costello routine in Iraq, we spit on them as a bunch of U.N. dry-humpers with a hard-on for wussery. We definitely don’t listen to them.
When they denounce actual American/British comedic film partnerships, though, we’re more than happy to lend an ear. […]
