I already liked Jesse Eisenberg. Now I love him. His appearance on Conan O’Brien last night is one of the funniest interviews I’ve seen in a while.

THE RESISTANCE by Muse
Posted in Any Other Eventualities on 20 Sep 2009 | 5 Comments »
Unfortunately, Muse’s new album is not really as good as their last one, Black Holes and Revelations. The Resistance might represent the fullest expression of what the band wants to be, insofar as they sound more like Queen than ever before, but the result is consequently less original and creative than their best work.

Returns

It was a nice reprieve to ignore this blog for a few days which somehow turned into twelve weeks but I think I’ll start posting some reviews here again for posterity. What better way to start (again) than with a review of the new Bond flick.
If you’ve been loyally checking back I’m sorry to have [...]

Sorry for the unannounced six week vacation, kids! Not to worry, though. I’m back and all is well.

I’m stealing this outright from the PRT but it’s so tasty I can’t resist!
Journeyman

As Prison Break gets increasing dark and decreasingly fun, my favorite new show is Journeyman! We’re apparently seven weeks behind as tonight I just saw a repeat of the first episode, following Prison Break on SkyOne, but it looks like NBC will be airing Episode 8 tonight. If it’s anything like the first – and word is the [...]
It’s About Time!

Can you imagine what JFK would have thought if someone had told him in 1961, when he promised a moonwalk by the end of the decade, that it would take an additional 50 years before we got around to building a moonbase? He probably would have laughed at your lack of vision and scolded you for being so [...]
The Bob Law Blog

Guess what, A.D. addicts!
Bob Loblaw, Attorney at Law, really exists!
He even has his own law blog!
Thanks to Dr. K for the notice (and his favorite clips of Bob Loblaw in action).
One Minute Movies

In Academy, R. Luke DuBois has compressed the images and sounds of every year’s Best Picture (through 2003) into a single minute. The results are fascinating. A few online excerpts of Academy:
Wings in 60 seconds
Gone with the Wind in 60 seconds
From Here to Eternity in 60 seconds
West Side Story in 60 seconds
The French Connection in [...]
Sympathy for the Dumb

I’m trying to go to bed but I can’t help rewatching this video of a “Miss Teen USA” contestant trying to answer a question. The fact that it’s a softball question is practically beside the point, though it enriches the humor. The first half of the answer is funny enough just because of the look [...]
