Waiting to make my way down the congested exit ramp and onto the street where I work, it was stop-and-go for several minutes, and maybe 100 yards.
*THUMP!!!* –just as I was finally approaching the bottom. Dagnabbit!
I checked the rear-view. Volkswagon. Girl.
Traffic still wasn’t moving, so I threw it in park, yanked the […]

Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer
This movie is pretty silly, despite its would-be end of the world scenario. I know some of my friends complained about it, and I just called it silly. In the end, though, I was satisfied with it, and thought that it turned out like a movie version […]
The weird little Mexican radio intro on the single version of TVOTR’s “Staring At The Sun” really does make all the difference.
Are there any other extra-cool single/alt/remix versions of popular songs that we should all be made aware of, Internet? Dig deep. Post a link if you like.
After the infamous Burt-a-thon/Bandit Scavenger Hunt, I rolled on out to Dallas to see Ian Moore play, and to catch up with a couple of friends. I got a few nice surprises out of the trip (Kwik-E-Mart!), and had a good time, overall. Check out that phase of the trip in photo-form, won’t […]
I got to see My Favorite Local Rapper, Sir Edward Meeks, bust a few verses at The Five Spot the other night. The event was an album release party for JAX of BINKIS RECS., and Eddie dropped by to do “Change Everything” from his last album (which BINKIS appeared on). Everyone was super-cool, […]
I made it back to the drive-in by 8:14 in the morning. A little late, but not bad for having only gotten about 3.5 hours of sleepitude in. I was the last team to arrive, and everyone else, save Team Bandit, had already hit the road. Tim League gave me a skeptical […]
3:16 a.m. (Wolfgang time)
I watched Smokey and the Bandit with some friends, then ran into a guy I’ve known since I was a kindergartener, and moved up front to watch Sharkey’s Machine with him (also next to Harry Knowles). I hung around for the final batch of trailers and the first chase scene […]
HELLO.
You may remember how I posted about a little thing called BURT-A-THON a couple of months ago. Well, that thing is TONIGHT!
Down at the Starlight Drive-In in scenic Near-the-prisontown, GA, they will be showing three cinema classics:
Smokey and the Bandit - Best Movie Ever
Sharkey’s Machine - Burt directed this. More drama than good […]
I finally watched OLDBOY last night. I am several years behind most of my friends on the Korean cinema tip, obviously. Also, I messed up a little bit, because I was thinking this was the first of Chan-wook Park’s vengeance trilogy. It’s actually the second. Oops. I don’t think it […]
Listen, I don’t know if you folks have heard about this place, but there’s a restaurant in Decatur called Ted’s Mountainous Grill. Apparently it was started by this Ted Thurman dude in, like, the ’80s or something.
Anyway, they’ve got some pretty kickass burgers. Also? If you ask, they will make your burger […]
