By Jeff, on September 30th, 2007 Free business cards! That’s pretty cool. Via the excellent Parent Hacks site (see below) I’ve now found two online printing companies that will print business cards for free. You have to pay shipping/handling charges, which probably amount to about $5, but that’s not bad.
The two sites are VistaPrint and ooprint. VistaPrint.com provides 42 design options and 250 cards, while ooprint.com provides 32 options and 100 cards.
Obviously this is a benefit for small (very . . . → Read More: “Free” business cards
By Jeff, on September 27th, 2007 Got caught up on some stuff tonight:
Chuck: Entertaining. Pretty light. I’ll see if it pulls me in more, but it seems like one of those shows that I’ll catch if I happen to see it on.
Bionic Woman: Certainly grittier than the original. They did some cool stuff. The scene in the hospital when she first wakes up was pretty cool. It has some interesting stuff in it, and I can see how they . . . → Read More: Initial thoughts – Premiere week pt 2
By Jeff, on September 25th, 2007 I’ll be jotting down my initial thoughts of the shows I watch that premiere this week.
Tonight, I intended to watch the NBC shows Chuck, Heroes, and Journeyman. I missed Chuck, but taped it so I may comment on it later.
Heroes: I loved season 1. This episode had a hard job in picking up and reintroducing a large cast of characters, plus adding new ones. As a result, this would likely have confused anyone . . . → Read More: Initial thoughts – Premiere week pt 1
By Jeff, on September 20th, 2007 “Justice League of America” Moves Forward – Slice of Scifi
I’m sorry. I just can’t picture this movie being made well any time in the next 5 years.
As I said in a previous post, there are just too many big characters to adequately pull something off with enough weight on each character, developmentally. Plus you’ve got the casting problem:
Of course the big question is — Can Warner get Brandon Routh and Christian Bale . . . → Read More: “Justice League of America” Moves Forward – Slice of Scifi
By Jeff, on September 20th, 2007 In the last month or so, it seems like Murphy is camped on my front step.
Computer – dead. Motherboard, presumably, is fried, based on research. Car inspection – over $500 more than expected in repairs. VCR – dead. Yes, I still had one. No I don’t have a DVR. I don’t have digital cable either. Wife’s TV – extremely unreliable, verging on death. Picture fades to black for long stretches.

By Jeff, on September 18th, 2007 At first glance, Laws of Attraction is a typical romantic comedy. Guy and girl meet, they don’t get along, then they’re stuck together, then they fall in love. The difference here is in how the relationship is handled. This is not the standard RomCom. It’s got all the elements, including over-the-top secondary characters, but the way the lead characters ([tag]Pierce Brosnan[/tag] and [tag]Julianne Moore[/tag]) interact is much more real than in most movies of this . . . → Read More: Review: Laws of Attraction
By Jeff, on September 18th, 2007 ‘Highlander: The Source’ Final Nail in Franchise Coffin – OhmyNews International
I just had to pick a few of the favorite quotes from this review. Most of the reviews I’ve read recently have been profanity-laced, but all share the same emotion.
They’ve taken something that was once rousing and inventive and now have officially driven it right into the ground. … effects that are anything but special, and a bulky villain character that literally zips . . . → Read More: More on ‘Highlander: The Source’
By Jeff, on September 15th, 2007 In any Highlander movie, it’s expected: heads will roll. In this case, though, it should have been heads of the film’s creators.
Why would you go and make a movie, probably the last one the Highlander series will ever see, that sucks this badly?
The script was all but incoherent, none of the characters were sympathetic or even well-realized, and the fight scenes, with possibly one exception, were more special effect than skill.

By Jeff, on September 11th, 2007 Apple – Trailers – Iron Man – Trailer – Large
Hey, the trailer for the May 2008 movie is out! Looks good, but I’m not totally sold yet. I’m a little unclear on the story. Seems like this trailer just focused on origins and some beauty shots. No conflict. Nothing story-wise, really.
I like Favreau’s style, but it better have a good script.
