  • PC Preferred

    So, I’ve been rethinking this whole computer platform thing. Who cares if the Mac is based on a better operating system?… I need speed. Intel chips are running at two to three times the MHz speed of the Motorola chips that power my G4 Mac, and even Adobe has announced that they prefer PCs for […]

    The Haiku Review™:

    Every line, a new tune.

    They sing because they have to.

    Who watches this crap?

    PG :: 1996 :: dir. Alan Parker :: ✭✭

    Starring Madonna Ciccone, a lipsyncing Antonio Banderas, a singing Jonathan Pryce, and the disjointed works of "tunesmith" Andrew Lloyd Webber.

    DVD features the movie, and probably a few other things that I didn’t bother looking at.

    The Haiku Review…:

    Touch too much screwball,

    Cast makes me laugh and then think,

    De Palma redeemed.

    R :: 1990 :: dir. Brian De Palma :: 4 stars

    Starring Tom Hanks, Melanie Griffith, Kim Catrall, Morgan Freeman, Saul Rubinek, a "Reverend" character who is obviously based on Al "I’m runnin’ for President!" Sharpton, and a very convincingly drunk Bruce Willis.

    DVD features include things like sound and picture. And a menu background still featuring Melanie Griffith’s cleavage.

  • Haiku Review

    I realize I’ve been seriously slacking lately in my media reviews, the main reason being that it just takes so damn long to write a half-decent review, and there’s so many other things I’d rather be doing like, for instance, sleeping. I would, though, like to continue to express my thoughts on the movies, music […]

  • Tip: Timing an iPhoto Slide Show to Music

    If you do a slideshow in iPhoto and put a piece of music in, you can get mixed results. If your slide show is too short, the music just cuts off. If it’s too long, the music will just start over again. The timings are a little fast and loose if you’re just playing the […]

    Went out with AAl last night to help him pick out some home theatre components, and found a new soft drink from the makers of 7•up. That may actually become my caffeinated beverage of choice. 😀
