Weeds Season 5 Starts June 8, Alanis Morrissette Included!

Posted by Bradley under Entertainment, Television

Say what?

Your favorite mind-altering television program stars Alanis Morrissette this season?

As an obstetrician?

Interesting casting considering she is my goddess of all things lyrical and sexy.

Weeds on Showtime starts June 8.

Slumdog Millionaire Gets Top Honor From The Kansas City Film Critics Circle

Posted by Bradley under Entertainment, Movies, Personal

Slumdog Millionaire received the Best Film of 2008 honor from the Kansas City Film Critics Circle this past Sunday.

Slumdog tells the tale of an orphaned Indian teen who is accused of cheating when he wins the Hindi version of Who Wants to be A Millionaire.

And is brilliantly directed by Danny Boyle of Trainspotting and 28 Days Later fame.

I wholeheartedly agree with the Film Critics Circle and truly feel this movie is deserving of a little gold man for Best Picture.

Let’s hope the Academy agrees.

If you haven’t seen it yet it comes with my highest recommendation.

Hit up the link for the rest of the winners.

Use A Glue Gun To Make Realistic Halloween Cobwebs

Posted by Bradley under Entertainment, Personal, Technology

BOO!

With Halloween drawing near it’s time to start pimping out your house Thriller style.

With a little compressed air and your hot glue gun you can achieve some pretty realistic cobwebbing action.

It’s how they do it in Hollywood baby!

Bob Vila eat your heart out.

P.S. – If you don’t have an air compressor you might try this technique with a can of air — you know for keyboard cleaning — not inhaling.
