It’s no secret that I dislike my governor. Rick Perry has been a horrible governor for Texas and just keeps getting worse. There were a couple of corruption stories about him, but they have faded into obscurity. Anyway, I’m sure you’ve all seen him recently. He’s the douche bag who stood up at a San […]
Rock out with your block out was pretty obvious, to be fair. Â I can’t make up my mind how I feel about this. Â On the one hand, the concept I find to be pretty stupid, but then I don’t have kids. Â But I’d kill to have two or three of the songs on that brief […]
So the hubby and I have been having hours of fun with this today. you should too!

They’re just an interpretation, they’re not a record…†–      Leonard Shelby, Memento Given Hollywood’s propensity for mining old ideas for new revenue streams, we’ve all heard these complaints at one time or another: They’ve […]

Books that get adapted for the silver screen usually get a bum deal. Books that are written based on a movie are even worse off. Let’s look at how Let The Right One In faired. I read John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel before I watched Tomas Alfredson’s movie. I do this with most the books that […]
Women like this make my blood boil. It’s not even so much that the only good thing she said video games can do is improve hand/eye coordination. It’s not even that she said that instead of playing video games, people should try to be better spouses/parents. It isn’t even that she “GUARAN-DANG-TEEs” in all caps […]
What follows is a Bill Simmons-esque discussion many of us recently had about the new Cobra Commander toy relased by Hasbro. Well, except all the frat talk is replaced with Net jargon, but this is the Basement after all. Sam: They’ve raped my childhood. Jake: qfft Me: So, Cobra Commander wasn’t a metrosexual version of […]

Harmonix announces that next week’s downloadable content for Rock Band will include a 7-song pack of REO Speedwagon and Styx. Jesus, if they’d only mix in some Van Halen, I could recreate the Texxas Jam in my living room. Â I’m regressing back to my youth in the best possible way. Update: The Texxas Living Room […]
