Friday, January 25, 2008 2:19 PM

Oh, Burt ... What were you thinking?

Tuesday, January 15, 2008 7:48 AM

It struck me recently that the best way to describe everybody’s favorite cinematic punching bag , Uwe Boll – the German schlockmeister behind Bloodrayne and other “classics” – is as an even cross of Ed Wood and George Lucas. The Wood comparison’s been

Thursday, January 10, 2008 11:48 AM

I thought I should follow up last week’s Top Tracks of 2007 with my most-hated song of 2007. Aside from Fergie’s disgusting plastic-surgeried hopped-up-on-meth pants-pissing appearance, her music is the sound it would make if I took the time to shit into
