Television Show Review: Ugly Americans

Monday, April 5th, 2010

What can I say about the animated television show Ugly Americans on Comedy Central? That it makes Archer look classy, Futurama look like genius, and compares to pure anime like Bleach or Ghost in the Shell about the same way that you might compare Green Acres to The Matrix. There is just about nothing I [...]

Kal Penn picks marijuana over politics

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

Working in the White House under President Obama must be quite interesting. Possibly only slightly more interesting than the public tour since so many appointees seem to leave after short periods of time, in the middle of the night, over holiday weekends. Just ask Kalpen Suresh Modi – or Kal Penn as most would recognize. [...]

Respect the tortoise!

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

When you think of a tortoise an image comes to mind. It’s the same as a turtle for most people. Slow and small, the huge shell. A creature that most imagine as a passive and calm creature. That’s not exactly correct though. A fact that a boxer puppy and his owners came to realize in [...]

Movie Preview: The Good The Bad The Weird

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

So let’s admit it. When Asia gets ahold of American cinematic cultural icons they usually do a pretty good job of ripping it off. Often they come up with variants on the theme that are superior to many American films in the same exact genre. Credit goes to where it is deserved. In this case [...]

Kevin Broadus and Binghamton University – food for thought

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

“…he (Kevin Broadus) expresses the importance of availability of opportunity for young people, including those with sports abilities. Coach does not believe that we should assume, for whatever reason that a young person, won’t be able benefit from education access, while allowing a person with athletic talents to reach for his or her own personal dream. Some dream to become leaders in academia. Others wish to become accomplished sports figures. As so clearly demonstrated in the recent hit movie about Michael Oher, “The Blind Side”; had some of the coaches, schools, and public taken the position they have regarding rigid “standards” that have been espoused in this case, that gifted young man would have been a casualty of society rather than the person he is with the accomplishments he has achieved.”

Janelle Monae in Tightrope

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

This video is impressive, and if the rest of the albulm, soon to be released, is as good she will be taking the charts. In a way I see her potentially like Alicia Keys, an artist and entertainer. Someone who is more of a throwback to the days where there was substance to an entertainer; as opposed to the majority today (in virtually every music genre) that are throwaways, with far too much flash and nothing to back it up with besides a massive marketing campaign.
