I thought I’d chime in on the Eminem controversy. Madison at Diesel Nation has done a great job of rounding up some pertinent information about this situation. And I generally agree with his opinions of Eminem and Benzino. My take is that I doubt that Eminem is a racist right now. I can accept Eminem’s… Continue reading My 2 Cents on Eminem as a Racist

Sup with Your Boy Michael Jackson?
I was just looking at some pictures of Michael Jackson from his arrest episode today. Some observations: If you had just been arrested, falsely or not, would you be blowing kisses and throwing peace signs? I think not. Definition of a mug shot. WTF is up with his finger tips? Are they reverting to his… Continue reading Sup with Your Boy Michael Jackson?
Star Wars: Clone Wars
All you Star Wars fans take note: The Cartoon Network is airing an animated series, Star Wars: Clone Wars, which bridges the gap between Episodes II and III. And the best part, IMO, is that Genndy Tartakovsy, the creator of Samurai Jack (my favorite cartoon), is in charge of this series. The first of 20… Continue reading Star Wars: Clone Wars
Rules of Acquisition
A post about Star Trek: Enterprise over at S-Train Canvass reminded me that I’ve been meaning to do this post of the Ferengi’s Rules of Acquisition. Enterprise has gotten better this season but it still can’t compete with Deep Space 9 (DS9) or The Next Generation. The best things about DS9 were that Avery Brooks… Continue reading Rules of Acquisition
Indians Taking Over Modeling?
According to the story accompanying this picture of former Miss India/Miss Universe Lara Dutta, Indians are bum rushing the modeling industry. If they all look like her I can understand why.
The Boondocks in Color?
I just noticed that the weekday Boondocks are in color on my myYahoo! page. Yet the ones that I get emailed daily, from uComics are still black & white. I wonder if Yahoo is colorizing them, or if the other publishers are removing the color. I suspect it’s the latter. It makes perfect sense in… Continue reading The Boondocks in Color?
Tupac Resurrection Documentary
There’s a Tupac documentary due out in November. It’s called Tupac Resurrection: In His Own Words. It looks like it should be a good one based on the trailer.
O.D.B. is for the Kids
It looks like VH1 is taking Behind the Music to the next level. They have a new show called Inside/Out which is: is a cinema-verite documentary series from VH1 that captures an artist or celebrity as he or she faces a personal or professional crossroads. With extraordinary access to some of entertainment’s biggest names, Inside/Out… Continue reading O.D.B. is for the Kids
Making the Band II
HardCore over at Thought 4 the Day wrote a great review of Making the Band II. This pretty much sums it up for me (except for the ‘terrible’ part): However, if you have ANY knowledge about the music industry, if you’ve ever been a performer, or worked in the industry, THIS SHOW IS A JOKE.… Continue reading Making the Band II

PBS has a new series entitled History Detectives that looks pretty interesting. You history buffs may want to check it out. History Detectives is devoted to solving historical mysteries, searching out the true facts (and falsehoods) behind local folklore, family legends and interesting objects. Using traditional investigative techniques, modern technologies, and plenty of legwork, the… Continue reading History Detectives
