Book Review: Chuck Klosterman’s “The Visible Man” (2011)
December 10th, 2011 · No Comments · Pop Culture
What is the point of reviewing books, records or concerts? I don’t mean why do people review things in general – obviously many people are paid to review things. I mean me in particular. Why do I bother to review things? I don’t get paid. I’m not a culturally influential person. In the grand scheme [...]

I Am The Sexiest Man Alive
November 16th, 2011 · No Comments · Humor, Pop Culture
Bradley Cooper was named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2011, ending the under-appreciated reign of last year’s winner Ryan Reynolds.
Now some people might say that Ryan squandered his term, which ultimately resulted in his big summer movie The Green Latern flopping. I take the opposite position and say that The Green Latern flopped precisely [...]

In Memory of Andy Rooney
November 5th, 2011 · No Comments · Pop Culture
Andy Rooney died today, and while it wasn’t terribly surprising (he was 92) it was still sad.
To many people, Andy had become a punchline. He was the cranky old guy with the crazy eyebrows that complained about everything.
But to me, Andy was an inspiration. He was the first writer that I ever truly loved. Even [...]

September 14th, 2011 · No Comments · Pop Culture
In many ways we are currently living in the golden age of television. Over the last decade, original cable television dramas have delivered great stories, excellent acting and numerous innovations in the form.
One thing I’ve noticed, however, is that a lot of the same actors seem to pop up on many different shows. In particular, [...]

I’m Glad Shark Week is Over
August 11th, 2011 · No Comments · Humor, Pop Culture
I’m glad shark week is over because shark week is the stupidest, most boring thing ever and I don’t understand why people get so excited about it.
Once you’ve seen one shark angrily (yet unsuccessfully) attack a diver in a cage you’ve seen all sharks angrily (yet unsuccessfully) attack a diver in a cage. It’s entertaining [...]

In Defense of Scrappy Doo
August 2nd, 2011 · 2 Comments · Humor, Pop Culture
I have a confession to make.
I know that you’re not going to like this, but I need to get it off my chest: I hate Scooby Doo. I honestly believe that Scooby Doo (both the dog and the show) is the worst popular cartoon in existence. The mysteries are stupid. The characters are boring. It’s [...]

Stop Breaking Down: What the Cars on “Breaking Bad” Tell Us About the True Nature of the Characters
July 14th, 2011 · 5 Comments · Humor, Pop Culture
Let’s be frank. I am not a big car guy, by which I mean that I have no interest in cars of any kind. I drive infrequently, which is probably a good thing because I’m a terrible driver. Have you heard bad things about Boston drivers? That’s my fault. I have no idea how cars [...]

Summer Television Viewing Guide
June 17th, 2011 · No Comments · Pop Culture
Alright already! I’m tired of all of you people on the street asking me what I’m watching on TV these days. Here’s my official Summer Television Viewing Guide:
Men of a Certain Age (TNT): Before this show started I couldn’t get over Scott Bakula’s ridiculous hair in the promos. Bakula’s hair is still ridiculous, but the [...]
