The Muppets
I’m sure by now you’ve already seen The Muppets, read about it to death, or simply don’t care. But you came here to read my hard-hitting critical review, and that’s exactly what you’re going to get. We’ll, sort of.
To start with, Jason Segel while a good choice as a writer, falls just short of the right performance. He’s a little too enthusiastic and it...

The Descendants

This comes at a time when Matt is working as the sole trustee to sell the last part of his family’s virgin Hawaii estate. The vast majority of his many cousins are eager to get the money. To make matters worse, Matt finds out that his wife...

Jeff, Who Lives at Home
The other night I went to the St. Louis International Film Festival to watch Jeff, Who Lives at Home. Unfortunately, this was not a free pass movie, but I figured I could use another prompt for writing.
Jeff starts off with the main character Jeff, played by Jason Segel, expressing his deep love for the movie Signs by Mel Gibson. He is particularly enthralled by it’s message that...

In Time (Or 1st #yearofmovies)
Hello! What’s that? I haven’t posted in forever? Yeah well you know, life catches up with you. Anyways, I might update you about that some other time. Right now though, I want to talk about a new blog feature here (it will be regular!) called #yearofmovies. Long story short, I won a year pass to AMC Theaters. This means I will be seeing a lot of movies, good and bad, this year. So the...

“You don’t really care about knowledge; it’s not a priority. For you, the books...”
– These are sadly the exact ideals some of my friends in CS express. They are extremely intelligent people. But this mindset frightens me. Getting things done (GTD) is an important mindset, it makes things happen. But understanding the collective knowledge we posses, and using it to focus change and...
Do it.

chrshrrs:
Not as big of a story as other bills Congress got around to passing today, but the Local Community Radio Act finally passed today. This bill has been around for nearly a decade now, has ridiculous amounts of support from every side of politics (Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians…) but every time…

WatchThis is a nice jam that seems fit for the late-night driving scene. One, you would hear on the radio while solo driving down a highway (not interstate) as you cook up your plans to get out of whatever small town you’ve been in.
This is definitely not Disco, but to me it seems to fall into the “Dream pop” category of music. Or M83 meets post-punk drums. Whatever you want to call...

yvynyl: Best Music Tumblr Blogs II →
This is a mega list of all things music on Tumblr. Yvynyl has always posted great music and music related things. I always enjoy the fact that he posts “weirder” and local music. So just a hat tip to him, and a suggestion to you all to follow him if you dig music.
Things move fast around here. One minute, we’re a wee little family of nerdy music heads on a baby Tumblr, the next...

WatchSo this has been a long time over due, but I went on my tumblr hiatus… Anyways, this is Bear Ceuse. Because he already did a better job then I could, and to show a little love, read more about the group in an article my brother wrote (check out the whole website).
This is his music video for his song “Kiss Another” which is a sweet little track he’s cooked up. The track...
