GET FIRED UP: SEPTEMBER ’10
Given that it took me three tries to spell “September” I’ve got a bad feeling about this month. Thankfully, I’m not returning to school as I would be usually. Feels weird even on the second go-round to not be attending class or getting a new lunchbox (I would probably go with Toy Story 3 or [...]
The 5th Leaf: Snoop, Snoop, Snooping Around
OK, No Pete this week, so bear with me. It took me a bit longer to put everything together writing solo and the pictures offered by AMC were all of Will looking paranoid, so I skipped it. Recap of “Look at the Ant” We open on a gloved hand picking a lock. It turns out [...]
The 5th Leaf: A Kale By Any Other Name Is Still A Cabbage
“Connect the Dots” Recap The episode opens with an exchange between Will and Bancroft, but not in the familiar environs of Bancroft’s home. Bancroft is out and about, which clearly startles Will. Bancroft asks Will about the 7 names and Will tells him of Donald Bloom’s brief history. Bancroft then tells him to go after [...]
PR Street Team: Photos From the Set of Transformers 3
How cool! Another PR Street Team post. Frankly, I thought that I kind of figured I’d never have another one. Not the case though! My friend Chris Sacco was in Chicago recently for a wedding and due to the sometimes nightmarish nature of travel, he was stuck there for another day. Unfortunate for him. Lucky [...]
A Matter of the Utmost Importance: Typecast
What I want to talk about today really came to me on the way in while listening to the /Filmcast podcast. It struck me that one of the funnier, more bankable, and likable guys in movies today is in grave danger, and perhaps is already fallen prey to typecasting. And while I’m writing this I realize [...]
The 5th Leaf: No Split Decisions
“The Outsider” Recap by Seth Will traveled to Washington, D.C. with Spangler, but not before encountering a mysteriously sexy new neighbor. In DC, Spangler reveals himself to be a rather idiosyncratic, eccentric man. However, we also see that he is rather brilliant remarking on ties, the nature of intelligence, and proper handbag choice. Their mission [...]
Music Mandate: The Two-Thirds 2010 Fantasy Mixtape
The story of music 2010 has been an interesting one so far from my perspective. But who cares what I think. I summoned a few of the finest music minds I know to help me put together a little review of the year so far. Half of the year is so cliche, so we we [...]
A Matter of the Utmost Importance: Like A Bad Habit
From the mind of Jim Ryan (BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!), comes this week’s Matter. He brought it up a few weeks ago during another topic and I put it on the back burner until now, but now it’s unleashed like the ravenous beast it is! (I hope.) So at times in our life we grow up (Science) and [...]
