What do you mean you haven’t seen this? Kurt Russell channeling John Wayne, Kim Cattrall when she was still hot, every asian character actor who’s ever acted in Hollywood ever, Kung Fu, black magic, and three scary guys in wicker lampshades.

First, a quick summary: the movie rental experience is pretty good, even without an Apple TV. Of course the resolution is iffy— slightly above DVD standards by pixel size (933x470px for this particular film), but offset by the highly-compressed low-data-rate H.264. (I’d still like to know just why us non-Apple TV owners are snubbed on […]
I really miss Antipixel. It hasn’t been updated for over a year, but I still go back every couple of months, hoping that it will be updated.

– 1/2 oz Barenjager (Honey Liquer)
– 3 oz Red Bull
Put everything in an old fashioned glass on the rocks, and give to someone who really likes Red Bull, because as much as I tried to tart it up, it still has that awful Red Bull flavor.
*Enjoy!*
