I don’t know about anyone else, but I was completely shocked about the lack of crowds headed to see The Rocker last Wednesday. What production company opens a movie on Wednesday without knowing full well that the film will be popular? Well, it looks like FOX does.

Javascript Poetry: Love Fades Away

poetry — Gary R. Hess @ 8:13 am on Aug 14, 2008

I’ve been fascinated with the concept of code poetry ever since I saw a blog dedicated to writing poetry using python. In short, code poetry is poetry with visual movement or delayed writing by using code. This makes for a more complex art form by bridging the gap between text and performance art, much like [...]


Batman 3000: The Next Movie

movies — ImaginaryFriendBob @ 8:38 am on Aug 11, 2008

As we all know, the pointy eared nightshift hero has made a comeback.  His cape of justice and alluring fitted black tights are all here to save the day once again from the handful of remade and renewed mentally confused villains. The Dark Knight being the top rated movie of the summer (if not the year) one can only anticipate what the plans are for the [...]
