We brake for assholes

Am I alone in thinking that the whole “survival of the fittest” thing that designs the primal threat-induced reaction transcends to modern drivers? I mean, there are just bad drivers period, those who can be best classified as “eternal blind spot”-ers, but there’s no call for rude driving. So what if you’re a CEO or [...]

“Your Benefits Assessment Funds at Work”

One of my favorite things these days is checking out DVDs from the library. There are no fees, you get to keep them for a week, and you usually find something interesting you’d been meaning to see, but hadn’t had the time. Oh yah, and you can check out roughly 10 films at a time at [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)

There are quite a few Russian fairy tales that may even instill fear in the hearts of adults as they portend the forces of good and evil in, let’s just say less than subtle descriptions. Swooping spectres and witches flying around in Williams Sonoma-ware (Babayaga in her mortar-and-pestle mobile), children and the elderly bound and [...]

Google Pagerank and Backlink update underway

So there’s another pagerank and backlink update underway (looks like we’re still holding strong around a 5, but we gained a few hundred incoming links). Because of this you may be interested in seeing your pagerank, but you may not be so interested in installing the pesky Google spybar. I’ve tried a bunch of sites [...]

Buh-bye Cruel World..

..literally. This is just another friendly reminder that the polar icecaps are indeed melting and we will all end up heating up in a giant waterball in as little as 25 years. That is, unless the methane gas bubbles in the oceans don’t explode first, sending killer tsunamis. The “good” news is that [...]

Mardi Gras must go on

Even if you’re not a boob flasher and King Cake hurts your teeth, there must be some part of you that’ll be happy to know that Mardi Gras will continue in New Orleans despite the destructive Katrina. For more info, here’s the official website.

Get along ‘lil iDog-gie

Isn’t he cute? His lucite ears wag and everything! Chris got it for me when they first hit the market last year and I named it “Ahanu”, Algonquin for “He Laughs” because he makes a lot of electronic quippy puppy sounds that might as well be laughter bouts. His entire face is comprised of flashing [...]

Basic Instinct 2 Trailers (US and Uncensored)

Wow, so Intermedia and C2 film group, those responsible for releasing the colonic mass that was T3: Rise of the Machines, are set to unleash their latest bomb, Basic Instinct 2. The trailer is up, and damn does Sharon Stone look ….old?
You know, it’s really a shame what happened to her. Her downward spiral started [...]

DVD Review . Samurai Spy [Criterion Collection]

We continue our review of Criterion’s Rebel Samurai box set with the third film, Samurai Spy.
The Movie:
Samurai Spy (aka: Ibun Sarutobi Sasuke, or The Strange Tale of Sasuke Sarutobi), Masahiro Shinoda’s jidai-geki chanbara pseudo-noir, is at once the tale of feudal era intrigue, a wrong-man drama, a violent, yet resoundingly anti-war, anti-persecution swordsman [...]

Mario wants to Fu– you. Like an animal.

aL just sent us this Mashup of the Mario theme and NINs closer. It’s a little odd, and rather stupid, but you might find it somewhat funny. Check it out here.

Cheney, the silent killer

A man’s life hangs in the balance, our legislative second-in-command is further jeopardizing our citizens’ respect for the President, birds and buckshot are flying all over the place.. and somehow, I can’t stop giggling. Maybe it’s the choice of words..
Cheney sprayed Whittington with birdshot while hunting quail in Texas.. Whittington, a Republican stalwart, was [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Love Letter

Being in a love flourished from passion and trust is the most exhilarating emotion, but if you realized that your betrothed was really in love with someone else –someone who could pass for your twin– could you forgive him? What if the opposite were true – you realized that you were in love with someone [...]

Valentine’s Day Movie Picks

A-yeup. Valentine’s Day is here, and that means romance flicks. But we at Dreamlogic aren’t that into chick flick nonsense or simplistic Hollywood flings.
With that in mind, here are some films with romance that Kris and Chris approve of.

Punch Drunk Love
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Splendor
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
Closer
40 Days and 40 [...]

New Study on Collegiate Math, Reading and Comprehension

This morning I heard a bit on NPR about how a new study has revealed that 50% of college students are unable to comprehend standard newspaper articles, or perform simple math such as calculating a 15% tip.
Fifty bucks says the majority of those 50% are business majors.

US weighs in on Internet Censorship, plus China defends its Censorship policies

Three good articles today. Looks like the recent ruckus made by web users in the wake of the major search engine’s money grubbing kowtowing to chinese censhorship policies has caught the eye of bigwigs in the capital. To help preserve “the greatest purveyor of news and information in history”, Josette Steiner, a State Department trade [...]

McDonald’s will be “hip”, you’ll see

Bigfoot mimics a vinyl-head version of mister famous pasty-face Ronald McDonald in upcoming television commercials aimed for the GenY and gen-yy demographic. (Dunno if that last one exists; I just made it up like staticians often do.) Seems like Sasquatch isn’t the only copycat; critics say the new plasticky Mickey D is a liiiittle too [...]
