Haven’t done one of these in a while either… Behind the Scenes at First Second Books. I love these tours. Warren Ellis’ Freakangels stats. Hmmm. Scalzi offers writers advice on money. Double hmmmm.

Ugh. Well, at least he took Boston: Hillary Clinton withstood a string of high-profile endorsements for Barack Obama to glide to a surprisingly decisive victory, while Mitt Romney held onto his Republican base to handily beat John McCain yesterday, in the most competitive and meaningful Massachusetts presidential primary in memory. In one of the largest […]

So far this weekend I’ve knocked off another two films on my AFI Top 100 project: Network (1976) and A Night at the Opera (1935), and so far it’s been a fantastic weekend. I know I should write more about these films, but really, you’ve gotta see these to believe ’em. When someone told me […]
