I am not a fan of award shows – but I did catch Conan O’Brien’s taped Emmy segment that introduced the show last night. It’s well produced and very funny – touching on my favorite shows Lost, The Office, and 24. Also – the riff on ‘To Catch a Predator IV’ or whatever that Dateline…
*Editor’s Note – The Adventures of Gutt & Pole is a recurring series that focuses on my life with my compadres – viewed through a slightly skewed lens. In some issues, Pole is well represented. In others, Gutt is joined by a rogue’s gallery of other associates for solo stories. Kinda’ like the time the…
This is just a quick little post – prompted by Tim’s current quest through Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Tim inquired into whether there was an MGS4 out there and the answer is sadly, No. But there will be. At E3 this year, creator Hideo Kojima showed off a brand new trailer for…

On Monday, I posted a detailed dispatch from my Dad’s recent wedding. What you missed in US Weekly (damn paparazzi!!!), you can read about here. I decided to post the full text of my speech for all of you to enjoy – giving me the opportunity to pepper the document with a few more…

Peter Jackson has announced that South African director Neill Blomkamp will helm the Halo flick – set for a Summer 2008 release. This will be Blomkamp’s first big screen production, but he has cut his teeth on numerous commercials, music videos and shorts including these two: Yellow and Alive in Joburg. I watched them both…
For this edition, I decided to focus on my favorite closing segments to a handful of flicks. Three of the films on my list, I love in their entirety. As for the other two, one is well done but a bit overrated and the other is a major disappointment redeemed by a ballsy ending. Tread…
I uploaded two old reviews of mine today – both Sam Mendes flicks. My reviews of American Beauty and Road to Perdition, both excellent films, can be found by clicking the links. The reason for uploading is two-fold: I want to make sure I use this site as a repository for all my writings and…
I picked up a little bit of cool news regarding the upcoming Aqua Teen Hunger Force flick. Bruce Campbell, The Evil Dead’s Ash, has been cast as a villainous Chicken McNugget. It’s not on IMDB yet, but an early review says he’s in there.
