This was a somewhat refreshing take on the zombie genre with funny, Zombie Survival Guide inspired narration. The movie does come to a grinding halt about two-thirds the way through when the characters hold up in a mansion for the sole purpose of throwing in a lame cameo. Also, I take umbrage to the term zombie being applied here. In this film, the monsters are sick people and not the walking dead. Heck, they are not even walking. Fast “zombies” suck.
A terrible sci-fi monster movie where the action exists mainly in the form of Rutger Hauer grabbing other characters by the shirt collar and slamming them against the wall to prove his renegade-ness. Some of the worst dialogue ever captured on film.
From my series about my art experiences, it’s is my favorite of the series and it’s about printmakers’ obsession with making prints that last longer than they will. I rather like the self-portrait shown in this detail (never mind that the top of the shirt doesn’t line up with the bottom):
One of the better bands in the slew of Estrus record’s straightforward garage rock outfits. They are always better when they stray a little from the formula in songs like “Glow.”
Another great 2 CD collection of skits to memorize with your nerd friends. You know how they always say that CDs have a shelf life of 5 years? Well, this is the only disks I own that have actually deteriorated to become unplayable. Bittorrent has come to save the day!
From my series about my art experiences, this print is my take on the jealousy printmakers feel against painters. In the art world, printmaking has a sort of second class status beneath painting. Sort of in the way RC Cola™ has always taken a back seat to Coca-Cola™. RC is usually cheaper, it’s not as flashy, you don’t see top celebrities endorsing it, but it tastes just as good (I’d say it’s even better) than the entrenched status-quo softdrink, Coca-Cola™. Anyways, if it were ever to come down to fisticuffs the printers would win anyway because we have sharper tools. Here’s a detail of the carnage:
In graduate school I made a series of five etching which were about art and my graduate school experiences. This image was one of the earlier ones from the series. Basically, I hate art critiques. They are boring and they bring out all sorts of cliched remarks, especially in an art school setting. This image depicts some of the stereotypes I noticed over the years The composition is ripped from a Bosch painting, Ecce Homo.
This is from a series of etchings I did in graduate school. The theme of the series is art and art school. This print is my take on a typical art school life drawing class.

Straight forward rock with a slight 60s garage vibe. By its very nature this is derivative music and can live or die based on the musicianship (or lack thereof), gimmick, or just your mood when you first hear the music. I happen to like The Mortals and consider this their best record. It has a nice full sound and a few surprisingly catchy tracks.
