X-E's '08 Summer Megaparty: Zzzzzz.

Matt — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 03:27:08 +0000

I haven't been sleeping well, lately. Not for any good (or bad) reason — I've just found it preferable to do all the things I really need to do when nobody else on this side of the planet is awake. It was totally fine to live like that years ago, since anything in-between unemployment and [...]

X-E's '08 Summer Megaparty: "Shark Swarm" Movie Review.

Matt — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:47:20 +0000

Frivolous spending in Best Buy's DVD section = X-E movie review. I can't fault Shark Swarm for being what it is — a lightweight "shark attack" movie produced for the Hallmark Channel without much gore or many frights. It was constructed as the world's first "shark attack" family movie; a genre which doesn't exactly roll [...]

X-E's '08 Summer Megaparty: Boppin' Berry Hi-C!

Matt — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:55:49 +0000

I've written about Hi-C Ecto-Cooler around 700 times now, but despite my glowing praise, a few readers have pointed out a very dark fact: In an early X-E article, I said that Ecto-Cooler was a putrid, vile concoction that became successful only on the merits of having Slimer on its packaging. I was exaggerating for humor's [...]

X-E's '08 Summer Megaparty: Movie Madness.

Matt — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:37:36 +0000

In 1989, my mother chaperoned a trip for my friends and I go to see No Holds Barred. No Holds Barred starred Hulk Hogan, who essentially played himself, fighting for freedom against the twin terrors of corporate soullessness and a giant, dark-skinned monster named "Zeus." It was all very Shakespearean. I'm very conscious of the fact [...]

X-E's '08 Summer Megaparty: Batman For Breakfast.

Matt — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 02:37:10 +0000

You can count me among the stupid idiots who still haven't seen The Dark Knight. I'm honestly embarrassed about this. I fear all water cooler discussion at work tomorrow, though I suppose I could fudge my way through it with such vaguely defined gems as, "I loved that scene near the end with the Joker," [...]

X-E's '08 Summer Megaparty: SNT.

Battery recharge day = random SNT.

X-E's '08 Summer Megaparty: Drunk Gremlins.

Matt — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:57:34 +0000

Gremlins is one of my favorite movies ever, and that's been a fact since the first time I saw it, on a cassette rental from a long-closed Mom & Pop video store. The dichotomy was to die for: Gremlins boasted the cutest thing I'd ever seen in a movie and the most terrifying things I'd [...]
