Things We’ve Learned in the Past Decade
This being the last week of the decade, which I've been told we're calling the Oughts, I thought I'd go over a few things we learned. In no particular order: If you want to be famous and you're not 17 years old yet, then the path is clear... do drugs, go crazy, do a stint in rehab, have bad relationships, and make sure you do it all [...]
Dracula, Our First Vampire Love
So I was reading Brian Lowery's review of ABC's V in Variety and he keep going on and on about how attractive Morena Baccarin, the lead alien is. It got me thinking about well dressed seductive evil. And who is at the top of that list-- Lord of the vampires... Dracula. But there are so many different actors who have put on the fangs. So [...]
Worst Places to Live on Television
As Summer TV programming begins to fade away, Geppetto asked, "Which town is the most dangerous place to live, Eureka of SyFy Channel's Eureka or Bon Temps of HBO's True Blood?" For my money, its Eureka. You're basically stuck in a science fair cluster f*ck. Walking down the street you suddenly realize your skeletal structure is now goo or you've [...]
Confessions of a TV Junkie
I know I have crap taste in television shows for the most part. My reason for watching a show ranges from dumb to... well dumber. I may watch because I like one or more of the actors.

Why I Can’t Wait for Fall–Skanks, Hos, Strung Out Nurses, and Vampires Fill My DVR
This week I caught up on the stuff milling around on my DVR that I failed to watch the week before. Because I was reading. However, I am an avid fan of spectacularly bad TV. I particularly love the bounty of craptastic splendor on the VH1 dating shows and their various spinoffs. I fell in love with the Flavor of Love. I didn't [...]
Zombie Love– What Is The Deal?
What is the fascination with this particular form of supernatural creature? They aren't sexy or smart, they are just the opposite hideous and mindlessly dull. Its just a waddling hunk of decomposed flesh wandering about. As mystical creatures go, I prefer vampires. They look good most of the time (my vanity stays intact), they sleep in the [...]
Bats Day: Goths Raid Magic Kingdom
Fishnets, body piercing, and latex. This is how I imagine Fangtasia, the vampire bar on True Blood, would look on a Saturday night. But this is real life and Mickey Mouse is standing next to me. Let me back up. I like Disneyland. I don’t love it, but I do tend to go at least twice a year. The rides are nostalgic, the food is good, [...]
