Buy Or Don’t Buy

In the music industry, when you take someone else’s song and make it your own, it’s called a remix.  In the movie industry, when you take an old film and create a new version of it, it’s called a remake.  In the literary world, when you use someone else’s words in your own publication, it’s [...]

I was a Facebook Specialist for most of my titled career. It’s only fair that I talk about Facebook and its new face-lift.

I was told that this new update resembles how the Facebook iPhone application looks like. Facebook segmented everyone’s profile into tabs to fit on the tiny screen. If the iPhone is the cool [...]

Do you know what is dominating the Barnes and Noble top ten bestseller list right now? Besides the How I Met Your Mother photo book. The four novels in Stephenie Meyer’s vampire love series, as well as their special editions. Scuse me—not just vampires, but the saga rests on a human-vampire-werewolf love triangle in the [...]

Now, we all know Princess Diana has been dead for a little more than 10 years due to the celebration(?) that happened in honor of her last summer. And to the media and the promotion that went around that, let her be dead! I mean, I’m sure she was a nice lady, and I don’t [...]

I’m willing to bet that I am the only writer here at BODB who would actually go see Mamma Mia, much less enjoy it.  Yeah: I’ve seen the stage show twice.  It never stops being dumb, but it also never stops being really, really fun.

Movies are readily available for home-viewing on a television or computer, and television itself has become so segmented that there will never be another M*A*S*H (105 million people watched its series finale in 1983!)

In this quest for ultimate convenience, something [...]

Because when you’re a website whose goal is to reduce everything to a simple binary opposition, there’s really only one way to write a movie review: bullet points! I’m putting in a jump, because there will be spoilers. Quick, to the rest of the post!

Earlier today I was checking out the Facebook profile of a friend of mine. She had erased all the music on her about me section, and replaced it with just one artist. A bold statement by any means. I was immediately compelled to investigate and typed the name, Fela Kuti, into YouTube.

Earlier this year there was a buzz growing around about a live-action version of Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are.” It’s a children’s book. And I was basically raised on that book. It’s about a little boy who is grounded and while he is in his room, he imagines he is in this land [...]
