The key to a good mock rock-umentary is that you must LOVE your subject. Christopher Guest loves folk music. Tenacious D (along with Guest and Rob Reiner) love metal. The Lonely Island loves hip hop and R&B. Bret Mckenzie and Jemaine Clement love pop music in general. The love translates into what’s most important: the [...]
When I heard I was getting a chance to see Push, I couldn’t wait to write about Dakota Fanning fighting evil with kick ass, telekinetic super powers. Then I discovered that it was not an upcoming, utterly mediocre film, but an utterly mediocre web series called Pushed. Guess what? No Dakota. No super powers. No [...]
NSFW. Not Safe For Work. Those four little letters are like music to my ears. It’s quite possibly my favorite acronym next to WWJD. Any web content prefaced by those magic consonants is almost instant gold. Or instantly disturbing.
The Stagg Party and Shot By Kern are a little from column A and a little from [...]
Okaaay. So, there’s Fiddlestixx. Hmm. How does one describe? If you’ve ever wanted to make a delicious entertainment sandwich with H.R. Pufnstuf, Requiem for a Dream and a dash of Japanese game show mashed together, this would be your snack of dreams. Will it fill you up? Yes. Could it make you sick? Yes, too. [...]
There is no greater badge of honor in the creative web world then the “cease and desist” letter. More than a few satires, tributes and criticisms have felt the sting of this legal c**k block. Many a Lucas fanboy (unless you’re famous and successful, like Seth Green) has gotten one. Anybody who has anything “interesting” [...]
Oh so many years ago, as I would sit with my post-Felicity glass of chardonnay, I would muse over a very important topic: who was my favorite Scott? Foley or Speedman?
Sure, Speedman initially broke out. He worked with Kurt Russell and fought vampires, two of the top qualities I look for in a person. Yet, Foley was always a [...]
When I was a kid, I had a gi-normous crush on Kim Cattrall. She was Gracie Law in Big Trouble in Little China, a classic if there ever was one (if they remake this, I swear, I’ll take a hostage). A few years later she was the first woman I ever saw with washboard abs [...]
Childrens’ Hospital IS the best web series. Ever.
There, I said it. It was predicted right here and let me tell you, this tidal wave of genius has no problem living up to all that hype. This show gives the McSteamys and McDreamys all a collective punch in their McPlace-where-their-catheters-go. This might be the best piece [...]
