On Walkabout

With the Fourth of July holiday coming up, I’ll be updating a little more sporadically, as I’ll be juggling a hectic workload at the day job, as well as family obligations and a lot of behind the scenes stuff here at the Glob. What I am planning on bringing my wonderful Globsters will be well [...]

Maybe I Missed the Point – Jeff Bridges

Not the biggest country music fan, but here’s the Big Lebowski himself, from AOL sessions. I didn’t even realize they existed anymore, honestly, but I would have rather got a thousand Jeff Bridges albums in the mail than all those landfill clogging start up discs. Somewhere in between Tron and all those caucasians, the man [...]

The Watch – Aliens or Something

Blah Blah Blah Imminent invasion, Jonah Hill, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughan, I don’t care. This looks like a bankable summer comedy that will be calculated to please and be passably hilarious, and while I never tire of comedy, no matter how phoned in or expected, I’m going to watch this film for one simple reason: [...]

Ari Lehman’s First Jason Hitched in Jason’s Bride Music Vid!

If they drag Jason’s body back up from the lake for the umpteenth time, I sincerely hope this becomes canon. From Eyeromp Films, this is a vid from Ari’s band First Jason, because he WAS the first Jason. The little guy that jumped out of the lake at the end of Friday the 13th? Yep, [...]

Suburban Hell at the Cul de Sac: Neighbors

Life isn’t always freakified and outrageous. There are times when the drudgery of routine rears its ugly head, and the ruts and static realities that pass for living the dream impose themselves to such a soul crushing degree we often wonder if it’s worth it. Safe living comes with its own set of pratfalls and [...]

Puppeteering the Ghost in the Machine: Heartstring Marionette

Screen Shot 2012-06-08 at 1.11.24 AM

Mindcandy for the unsettled, Heartstring Marionette is another strikingly unique, visually daring and deep movie by uberector M dot Strange. I could stop right there and feel completely vindicated in leaving you with that simple sentence, but there’s more to this film than can be simply encapsulated in one turn of phrase. Come with us [...]

The Hate List: June

Another month where moviewise, the good far outweighed the bad. Karmically, I fear my luck may be running out, so I’m going to enjoy it while I can. I’m dreading the prospect of a month where I hate everything I’ve seen, but it’s coming, so prepare yourself to laugh at my expense. I don’t mind, [...]

Fright Rags Brings Deadly Designs to your Closet of Horrors

I stumbled on Fright-Rags.com a while ago and have been thrilled with them ever since. I could just say their shirts are awesome, and leave it at that, but then I wouldn’t be doing my job, would I? Time to gush.

Unrelenting Vision Perserveres: Jakob Bilinski

In the kingdom of the blind, the man with one eye is king, so they say. Jakob Bilinski is neither blind nor cyclopic, so by this logic, he’s the master of a plane of his own creation, a passionate and earnest man with a unique vision and undaunted determination. Since one blatantly obvious statement deserves [...]

Rites of Spring Sows the Seeds of Fear

Having grown up next to a corn field and spent most of my adult life in rural areas, they don’t really freak me out anymore. But there’s a fading memory of being chased by god knows what on a humid summer morning through those rows that reminds me you never know what’s lurking in the [...]
