The Top Ten Best Films of the 2000s
Top ten lists might be completely subjective affairs that are meaningless to anyone other than their creator, but they also happen to be a hell of a lot of fun to make. Obviously nobody can really say any one movie is exactly the 7th best movie of the year, the decade, or all time, but…
Read MoreThe top 10 best films of the 1980s.
While talking with my dad about “10 best” lists we realized that for film we were having a lot of trouble coming up with an obvious list for the 1980s.

Read MoreTop 10 most upsetting Hobbit movie rumors.
Everyone knows that I was a particularly vehement opponent of the Lord of the Rings movies.

What with the decision to cross over the storylines of Goth, Jock and Snob blogs, a simple thing as writing Goth Blog 3 has turned out to be more work than I planned on. So, while I know I’ve been writing more about underground metal than most people want to hear about lately, here is…

In a rare fit of compassion I have decided to forgo the usual detailed post about stuff no one cares about for yet another famous Isley list. Enjoy this brief respite, because I’ve been slacking on the blogging and before you know it, I’ll write all the following posts for real. But until then…I give…
