Top 25 Cannibals in Fiction (other than Hannibal Lecter)

Oh, eat your heart out…or brains…mmm, brains… Thank you for our human meat Frank. Theyve got the hunger and when youve got the hunger you start acting funny. Dont you boys know how scary the mountains are? Arent you afraid of the Cyclops? Why couldnt those darn trappers just leave good, Mormon fearing, diggers alone?

Girls, Season 2, Episode 5: One Man’s Trash, Review

Apparently, it’s all about the shorts . So far theres been Adam, some pharmacist, Donald Glover, Jon Glaser and now Patrick Wilson. Actually… thats not that many guys, come to think of it. And Jon Glaser isnt a hunk, hes a comedian. Okay, so Im a douche. You see it as a truth or a right. You dont want to question it because its something you were set on.

Dead Space 3 PlayStation 3 review

The originalDead Spacewas a definite surprise. All side effects of being a limb-chopping hero, I guess. Dead Space 3picks up a while after the second game. Well, if you have a chum to play with, that is. Its all sci-fi action and gore, and little to no horror. Ah well,Dead Space 3still does what it does very well. Scavenger Isaac has a few new tricks available to him this time....

Gun Machine, Book Review

Warren Ellis does what he does best . Gun Machine by Warren Ellis is everything Ellis fans want it to be. It has Ellis trademark chemically fueled, cynical antagonist.

And it has, most surprisingly and welcomingly, a heart. Gun Machine is a postmodern look at gun worship that never gets political or preachy....

Why did Joss Whedon choose Much Ado About Nothing?

Based on a play. Moments later, Fillion followed up the link with the additional message: Oh its real. Was it a passion project, or a marketable film? A three-week party between friends, or something for a wider audience? All of the above, as it turns out. Young Hero is Leonartos daughter, and soon agrees to wed Claudio. It sees two great talkers talk themselves into a facsimile of love. It shows lovers being manipulated and tricked, their will bent on the whim of others....

Tim Curry, a career retrospective

Everybody wanted to be Tim Curry. My corset was a cheap, tacky knock-off, covered by leather strips. I was replaced by a sexy young lady who had perfect ensembles. I pointed out that she was a hot chick in underwear, I was in fucking drag. She didnt get beat up on the way home. Most Frank N. Furters on the midnight circuit were women. They wanted to be Tim Curry....
