Green Jello Sucks!

Posted by Scott in Entertainment, Music

This past weekend was a parent-couples-date-night thing-a-ma-jiggy where some of our friends rounded up like minded couples and invited us all out for dinner and a show at the Vault 350 in downtown Long Beach. The ring leaders of this shindig were friends of the guitar player in the opening band, Angus Khan which put […]

Summer Movie Fun

Posted by Scott in Entertainment, movies

Well I haven’t posted on movies in awhile so I might as well jump right in. Although technically not a summer movie, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is pure genius. Everything that made up the 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up mashed together with the crass and crudely funny humor of Superbad makes this movie a […]

I’m Still Watching the Watchmen

Posted by Scott in Entertainment, movies

Whew… I almost forgot my April update on the Watchmen movie but realized the error of my way just in the nick of time.
Okay, so it’s a quick one this time but here are a few more characters from the movie.
The first one is in my opinion one of the greatest characters and antiheroes ever […]

All Comedy, No Tragedy

Posted by Scott in Entertainment, movies

This weekend was a nice calm before the storm… that’s still coming this whole week. My mom flew into town and man were her arms tired… ba dum bump. Anywho, since she was going to be watching little J-man, the misses and I decided to catch one of those moving picture shows that the kids […]

Bubble Boys

Posted by Scott in Entertainment, Family

Since spring break is nearly over and unfortunately my DeVry classes continued through the break, I finished up my Friday class and bolted home as fast as I could. Once there I grabbed Jaden threw him the truck and headed over to the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana to check out the big bubble […]

Putting the X Back in Geek Flix!

For the Geek: Iron Man, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Incredible Hulk, The X-Files 2, Choke, […]

Who Watches the Watchmen? I Do…

Posted by Scott in Entertainment, movies

Well after all the fuss on who should be doing this movie, Zach Snyder (the director of 300) looks to be doing a bang up job. The past year I’ve been watching the progress of Watchmen, one of my most anticipated movies of all time, and I have to say that I am loving what […]

Happy Leap Year!

Posted by Scott in Entertainment, Television, Video Games

I’m getting this last post out on the last (extra) day of February to celebrate Leap Year! WooHoo!
My Game programming class came to an end last night and I am completely exhausted and happy. My game turned out pretty darn good and the amount of programming and concepts that I learned in that class was […]

Big Box Bullseye Misses the Point

Posted by Scott in DVD, Entertainment, Television

I’ve always been pretty harsh on the evils of Wal Mart and have shown my loyalty to the other Big Box store, Target but recently I’ve had to let go of that loyalty as they continue to support Full Screen DVDs. Now, I’ve been a long time supported of the widescreen format on many types […]

Passing Time During the Writer’s Strike

Posted by Scott in Entertainment, Television

Being that I am a big fan of the boobtube and not a fan of this writer’s strike, which coincidently has spawned an onslaught of reality shows and is much like driving a railroad spike through my head, I tried to think of some fun and entertaining ways to pass the time. What are some […]
