The ten most confusing things in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Now, suspension of disbelief is usually not a problem for me. Tell me that a billionaire could put on a bat suit and swoop around fighting crime and I’ll … Continue reading
A photograph of Tank Man from a different perspective. Save for the gravity of the situation, this almost feels like videos of memorable sports moments taken by fans providing a different perspective. (For example, Derek Fisher’s shot with 0.4 left.)
Brazilian BBQ
One of my favorite places on Earth. Here’s a map of some of my other favorite places in the country (scroll around for more locations, they seem to line the coasts). We went during lunch so the selection was halved, but it had most of what I liked. And lunch of course had what I don’t like–the sausage. It’s not bad, in fact it’d actually probably pretty good with a bun outside of the restaurant. But inside the restaurant, the guy with the sausage rod (haha) might as well be selling otter pops at a Cold Stone. The biggest shame is that the sides at these places are really, really good but it’s just not the time to fill up on them.

Chiba Lotte Marines promotional posters. Giant monsters vs. a baseball player. And he’s usually saving a child or a beautiful babe. Can’t argue with these at all.¨Ü (Via Deadspin.)
Things I learned this week
Took this idea from kottke (and it’s probably not the only thing). Elite marathoners run at about five minutes per mile (the pace for the world record is about 4:43 per mile). Running a five minute mile seems pretty difficult … Continue reading
Gunnin’ for That #1 Spot on Hulu. Perfect movie to watch before the draft.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
The action scenes and CGI are awesome (the forest scene is as good as you expect from the preview): there’s two stars. Megan Fox: there’s the remaining half for 2.5/5. And the praise ends there. Who the hell wrote the … Continue reading
Watchmen director’s cut headed to theaters. Twenty-five minutes of additional footage. I’m not sprinting to the box office, and I’m a maybe if I can drag someone along, but you can definitely count me in for the Blu-Ray.

Vancouver, B.C.
Blown out and overprocessed. I need to work on this photography thing. It’d probably be time better spent than plowing through seasons and seasons of a bunch of TV shows. Anyway, these are from Memorial Day weekend.
