CULTURE WARRIOR

I know that today’s comic has the same kind of fake-out punchline as yesterday’s comic, but since we’re at the mid-point of the storyline, I needed to introduce a little more exposition. I’m a little disappointed because I wanted to end the week with a big revelation, but instead I’m leaving you with a “…to be continued.”

It’ll all pay off in the end, though.

Despite the reuse of the punchline, I’m getting my own giggles out of the idea that Jared would willingly undertake a new direction in his life based on the council of a hallucination that identifies itself as such. There’s no credence to what Affleck is about to tell him to do because it’s all an invention of Jared’s own mind. But I think it’s funny that he’s considering it like it was coming from a verifiable third party.

Lots of good stuff in theaters this weekend. Bee Movie and American Gangster are on my radar. It’s just a matter of finding a babysitter for Henry. I feel like I’m starting to fall behind. I really wanted to see Dan in Real Life last week and have since heard really good reviews. We’ll see. If we can get out of the house, we’ll probably see Bee Movie. I’m in the mood for something light, even though I recognize that I would probably have more fun with American Gangster.

Not much else for you except one bit of promotional consideration.

I don’t know if you guys are fans of David Lynch or not, but back in the early 90’s you might remember that he had a sublimely bizarre television show called Twin Peaks. There was also a movie of the same name called Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me that picked up where the series left off.

Anyway, earlier this week saw the release of . Tons of extras and the whole series contained in one collection. If you like Lynch’s twisted take on suburbia like Blue Velvet, you’ll enjoy this series. There’s a lot of frustratingly wonderful mystery elements to it as well. It’s kind of like the proto-love child of Lost and the X-Files with a little Desperate Housewives and a whole lot of weird thrown in.

Check it out.

Also, you’ll want to be sure to check the site every day next week because I have free DVD giveaway planned all throughout the week. I can tell you right now to be sure and listen to The Triple Feature on Monday for your chance to win a copy of Michael Moore’s documentary Sicko. There will be a review on the site next Tuesday.

I’ve got a bunch of other stuff to give away as well, but I’m keeping it under my hat for now. Maybe if you want to know more, you should sign up for the mailing list. I’ll be sending out details with my weekly recap there. Who knows? There might also be a mailing list-exclusive giveaway!

Have a great weekend. See you Monday!

FACEBOOK GROUP

Posted In: Blog

A few months ago I created a Facebook account and I’ve been very cautious about who I accept as a member of my group of friends. My MySpace account was overrun fairly quickly. Not just by fans, but by spambots – and I didn’t want to repeat that with Facebook. I wanted the social interaction element to shine through.

So instead of accepting everyone to my personal account, I created a Facebook group for Theater Hopper where everyone can get together and shoot the breeze.

If you have a Facebook account and you’re interested, you can join up here!

Thanks and see you on Facebook!
