I’ve never watched any of the Final Destination movies, because the premise just doesn’t appeal to me at all. But I gotta say, this marketing pitch for FD5 is pretty unique and a good way to get us older folk who grew up watching Saved by the Bell and think watching spoofs of this is […]
When I was growing up my mom and I watched Wildcats and I’m certain that I was too damn young to understand half the racially tinged jokes and social commentary that lurked in that movie. A well-to-do white woman goes and coaches an inner city high school football team (whose principal is Nipsy Russell for […]
I recently stumbled across this photo on my phone. Upon first glance, you’d assume this was taken in a bathroom from a hotel. More specifically, a Hampton Inn. That’s what it says right there on the towel, right? Well you’d be wrong. That towel is in my bathroom back home in Louisville. And it’s not […]

As most people know, I’m a huge fan of the documentary Darkon. And like the funny subplot of Role Models, here is a movie that looks to blend the realms of Darkon and the campy humor of Army of Darkness, which means it could hold promise of delivering laughs. […]
One of the great joys of being a mildly competent graphic designer is that you occasionally get to do something special for friends and family.
