My Childhood, Bastardized

Holy crap, I'm gonna have to start a whole new blog purely dedicated to all the ways Hollywood is screwing around with my childhood in the present day. Previously I've discussed the Karate Kid remake, the new Robin Hood movie and even older topics like the GI Joe movie and...

My Work, Realized

I've been working on this project for more than a year. Among the hundreds of pieces of designed work I do and the conferences and everything else, one project for CFED has been on my plate since December of 2008. And that is the redesign of our website.Finally, at 9:30...

What I’ve Read (sorta): Where Men Win Glory

Another holiday tradition I get to partake in is killing through books during those 10 days. Seeing that I drove back to Kentucky again this year, this gave me plenty of hours of knock off a book on the ride back to the bluegrass. On the way to Kentucky, the...

Friday Funnies XVII

Last weekend as I prepared for returning to work, I ended up watching Goodfellas twice. Normally I think the funniest scene in the movie is when Ray Liotta pistol whips the hell out of that guy. But for some reason I found this scene wildly hilarious, when Pesci does his...

Oh. Crap.

I am not a superstitious guy. At least, I don't think I am. But this is going to test me for sure. If you don't know, there is a theory called the Sports Illustrated Cover Jinx. And now I really only care because John Wall has made the cover of...

What I’ve Watched: Up in the Air

The Campbell holiday tradition continues, this time with the Clooney flick, Up in the Air.Like most movie-going folk, I am a Clooney fan. He's fantastic when being in serious films like "Good Night and Good Luck" or when hamming it up and being a good sport like in "Oceans Eleven."...

Game On: Week of Dec. 17

Here is my column from about two weeks' back. Games reviewed, with a special nod to Kelly's brother Paul, were The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and Tony Hawk's Ride.

What I’ve Read: The Omnivore’s Dilemma

Better than just about any documentary on how your food is prepared and where it comes from, The Omnivore's Dilemma kills it in the first third of the book, giving detailed accounts to the uses and ubiquitousness of America's greatest food source, corn.I am a foodie and I care a...

What I’ve Watched: Sherlock Holmes

A Campbell family Christmas tradition is to go check out movies. It started many moons ago and continues to this day, and it's always fun to talk to my mom and plot which movies we shall conquer during my stint back in Louisville. First up, Sherlock Holmes with the always-cool...

Friday Funnies XVI

Merry Christmas everyone, and I know no better way to celebrate it than to share a clip from my family's favorite holiday movie.

Idiot of the Day VII

To the person, or persons, who work at the SunTrust Bank branch on Georgia Avenue up near my house. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that replacing that lightbulb might just be a good idea if you are hoping to retain customers and not give off the...

My Childhood, Bastardized

The fun never stops in Hollywood, at least when it comes to killing my childhood. I had heard about this remake awhile back, but somehow thought nothing of it when I never heard further and thought maybe, just maybe, the studio people had figured out that remaking a movie that...
