the Walking Dead
Just what we need, trading cards “based on the hit TV series”(which was based on the comic book series). How about this, if you are willing to burn money on Walking Dead merchandise, why not spend your hard earned cash on the comic book?! It’s far superior to the show. I promise. The television series is crap comparatively. Comic writer, Robert Kirkman is a flippin’...

FOOD FOOD FOOD: Gumbo's
I’ve been visiting this spot for about 10 or so years now. I know, North Dartmouth is not exactly a regular destination. Thing is… Dudes, seriously, the General Tofu at Gumbo’s is honestly one of my favorite dishes in the known universe. Multiverse? OK, we don’t have time to get into scientific theory. I digress/digest…
Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside....

Prometheus Teaser Trailer
Yo, David Fincher… Ridley Scott want’s his baby back and he’s prepared to take you to custody court. No need to “make a scene”. That was a pun, get it? GET IT?!
I’m very excited about this one. I’ve been waiting patiently to have something Science Fiction to look forward to. It’s rare for me to get pumped about a blockbuster-type movie such as this....

Tall Boy's Holiday Jump Off (Check!)
Last night we went to Church to check out some local music acts, network a little bit and sell some product.
The night was a complete success and I would first like to thank TallBoy for giving us the opportunity to throw down at this event with them.  It is greatly appreciated!
Here is a quick run down of the night:
I’d like to first shout out to the man who kept the music going...

Digital Cinema / The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo...
The night before last I checked out David Fincher’s U.S. release of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. I have already reviewed the Swedish version and it’s sequels here which are all still available on Netflix instant.
Aside from the film itself, I believe this was the first digitally projected film I have ever seen where I could not observe any digital artifacts or...

FOOD FOOD FOOD: Moody's Falafel Palace
Cambridge’s favorite falafel spot is finally reopened and remodeled. Look at all the the space!!! Look at the green walls! The interior now feels much more open and welcoming. Not into falafel? Moody’s also has great kabobs and 5 different variations of baklava. And it’s GOOOOOD baklava. I 100% recommend this spot.
FUN FACT: Falafel Palace used to be a White Castle back in the...

Suicide Girls
…the comic book? I came across this embarrassment of a periodical at my regular comic shop. I don’t wanna know that people purchase books like these. Oooooft. As a recovering Catholic, I try not to be soo uptight. But… seriously, people. Gross.

Cable Car Cinema / Trinity Brewhouse / Melancholia
Last night, me and the lady went to see Lars von Trier’s latest trainwreck of a film “Melancholia” at Providence’s finest art house cinema the “Cable Car”. Here are the cliff notes:
The “Cable Car Cinema” is located on North Main St. in Providence (obviously) and is personally my favorite spot to catch a flick in MA or RI. The theatre has a handful...

"RIP, STAND UP SPECIALS"
While on the topic of death, here are a few posthumous humor suggestions available on Netflix instant:
First up! Patrice O’Neal, recently departed this planet on November 29th, 2011 (wayyyyy to young). He currently only has one stand up on Netflix called “The Elephant in the Room” but my god is it polished and it has a great running time of just over an hour. I tend to avoid...

"R.I.P." Christopher Eric Hitchens
Keeping this short. Pop/reality stars get plenty of attention and respect for merely being famous. The world nearly stopped when their “king”, Michael Jackson died of a drug overdose. Sure, everyone needs a hero/idol or two but… inspiration and influence are serious business. If I blindly took after my idols, I’d be imprisoned or dead of a heroin overdose by now. All...

FOOD FOOD FOOD: Olecito vs Olecito
You can find the REAL Olecito in Inman Square, Cambridge. Don’t be fooled by the Commonwealth Ave.(Boston) location. I’ve been enjoying the original spot in Cambridge since it’s opened. I live a few blocks away just over the Somerville line. I’ve given the Comm Ave location 3 chances… it’s just not the same. I don’t know who runs the place or what the deal...

Vans X WTAPS
(Picture: High Snobiety)
Pretty much PERFECT sneakers. I don’t know where to get them but I’m a tad chapped that these are finally coming out now the week before Xmas and not in MARCH when people (as in me) actually have money to spend on stuff like sneakers you have to import from JP.

Record of the Day: v/a- There's a Fungus Among Us
A recent gift from my amazing wife. Until now, I’ve only seen this record on eBay/Discogs. Never seen it in person. Pretty cool.
My main interest in this record is Screeching Weasels’ song “Slogans”. Sure, the song is also on Weasel’s third LP “My Brain Hurts” but… like a typical nerd, I “needed” this as well. ALSO, the cover art and...
