Ok, deep breaths… I’ve had a long session with the ship’s counselor and I think I’ve overcome my rage.  By exercising Vulcan levels of self-discipline I think I have come to the point where I can accept what they have done with this reboot of the Star Trek license.  Because it really is a reboot.  […]

Nique’s editor’s comments are in italics. Well it was entertaining. The various nods to fans and inside jokes were well-done. And I personally have been saying for awhile that a reboot (using time travel or alternate universe) would be a good idea. But this is not what I had in mind. Ultimately what they came […]

So, so, so disappointing.  What the hell happened with Christian Bale?  He used to be so awesome but then he started talking in a gravelly voice to be Batman and now he won’t let it go.  I know he’s a good actor because I’ve seen his other work, but he makes a shitty John Connor.  […]

I hear so many conflicting rumours about new shows that I don’t know what to believe.  Virtuality and Caprica are both pilots for sci-fi shows and I’ve heard they are/are not being picked up so often I just don’t know.  But I sure hope they both get greenlit because they’re both pretty good.  And they both […]

Oh, it’s the same every year. I always swear I’ll cut down on movies, remembering how many of them sucked last year, remembering the pain of waiting for the pitiful organizers to get their shit together, remembering the discomfort of those broken down seats in that half-assed theatre that is really just an outdated auditorium.

KC has requested that I recommend a few choices for this year’s Fantasia.  There are some movies that look good but don’t fit into my schedule so we will be trying to download what we can’t see.  But here are the movies I am planning on viewing:  Yatterman: Kitchy Japanese superhero romp.  A live action version […]

Last Christmas I received the video game Wii Fit.  It wasn’t a hint; I wanted the game.  I enjoy doing yoga but long ago grew bored of yoga DVDs and since first trying a live class many years ago I wasn’t keen on going back to a class in real life, with like… real people.  *shudder* […]

I’ve lived in the condo on Wolfe for six years and the lot of those years were happy but maybe not happy enough. It’s time to move on, I’m done shedding tears. I’ve got to get going, sorting, cleaning and packing up all of this stuff. The Mountie called and played MP3s while I sat […]

I wrote this in 1996 or thereabouts and damn if it doesn’t ring true now as well:   Just because one is not Doesn’t mean the other is Burned the flame that got too hot Put it out with my Cheez-Wiz WATER TASTES LIKE TIN ALUMINIUM Laugh track will replace me once again Never running […]

As of now I will be featuring a new column on this here blog: Why I Am Better Than You. Rantings and ravings on things I hate, or love; basically evidence for my apparently as of yet not quite so obvious superiority over every other human being on the planet.  Before I get to a […]
