Toy Story 3 is coming this summer. Also this summer: my long road to maturity takes several steps backwards. »

Ok, clearly my kids I need to get a bit more creative with my Lego-play, because I never would have conjured up anything close to this level of wonderawesomeness:(image via Sad Old Biker on Flickr; found on the awesome Distracted by Star Wars)
Of course, there are eighteen dozen movies coming out this summer, and some [...]

But maybe I’m being too harsh. Clearly these two movies have a lot to differentiate them:

This may be your one and only chance to happily tap your feet to the melodious sounds of Edward Furlong’s sing-songy voice. »

The end is coming…and HELL’S COMING WITH IT. »

Several months ago, my boss and I had a discussion about the company, the economy, and the overall outlook for the future. The bottom line was that my position was going to be eliminated. I’ve been given [...]
