I remember my first time on AOL in the early 90s. I think the modem on the computer was 2400 baud, and I’m pretty sure I was amazed that I could read headlines from the New York Times after waiting just a minute or two. Hey, I had 5 free hours! If I couldn’t download [...]
There probably aren’t a lot of people both Christianity Today and The Onion’s AV Club interview in the same week, but Pixar’s Pete Docter is one of them.
The director of “Up” talks to Christianity Today about his faith and inspirations for his movies, and The Onion talks to him about the movie and a little [...]
Five down, one to go. The countdown has begun to the final season of the best show ever to grace television airwaves.
Okay, while that may be a bit of hyperbole, I would attempt to argue the validity of that statement if necessary. LOST is an amazing program, and it has taken its audience on an [...]
The History Channel’s recently announced upcoming season may offer hope to those who have pointed out that the network is dedicating its prime time programming to truck and lumberjack reality tv instead of… history. History, by the way, changed it’s name from The History Channel to just History last year. Doubtless, this is the work [...]
I’m going to take the time to be honest and introspective today. If that’s not your cup of tea, feel free to walk away now and grab another post about the latest Star Trek Film or the season finale of Dollhouse (which I need to catch up on, particularly since it’s coming back next year). [...]
I need to admit this up front: I am way outside of the target demographic for this book.
Still, it all began with a few notes on Facebook. A friend of mine mentioned she was reading “shlocky vampire books.” I correctly assumed it was Twilight, the phenomenon that rivals Harry Potter in terms of sales, if [...]
Given the choice of the easily accessible Internet and a radio with shortwave and good AM reception, I know it wouldn’t be a contest for me.
Growing up in rural Iowa I had antennas strewn over the yard and up the side of the house (thanks to some very patient parents) to listen to radio from [...]
Since I was on vacation recently, I just watched the Dollhouse finale. The good news is that the Joss Whedon series ended up being far better toward the end than it did in the beginning. The better news is that the DVD release will contain two of the episodes not aired — including the unaired [...]
Thanks to everyone who entered our contest to win a copy of Dangerous Calling (if you missed the original post with the review of the film, click here). Also, special thanks to director Josh Daws for providing copies of the movie to give away!
You may recall that we’re selecting winners randomly — two from among [...]
As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I had my doubts about this movie. All the trailers looked great, so I had no worries about whether it would be a good film, full of exciting action…but would it be a good Star Trek movie?
Star Trek has always used the sci-fi genre the way it was meant [...]
