Buy: Independence Day Trilogy

I mean there kinda really were a lot of unresolved questions:
-Was the White House rebuilt?
-Did Randy Quaid survive?
-Does Jeff Goldblum have other things to say with his hands?
-Are there other black pilots?
-ARE ALIENS REAL?!!?#!!!
Here are my re-purposed slogans for ID42 and ID43:
We’ve always believed we weren’t alone. Pretty soon, we’ll wish we had more alone [...]

Don’t Buy: Degrassi Season 8

So this is my first post for BODB! I don’t intend on making it a regular thing but I felt a moral obligation to all fans of Degrassi: The Next Generation to warn them against continuing to watch the deformed beast this once great show has become.
Foremost on the list are the new characters they [...]

Buy: GoGirl - “You won’t be like a man. You’ll just pee like one.”

Picture this: you leave a bar with some friends, strolling up to the L train so that you can head into Brooklyn to hit another bar, when you’re suddenly plagued by an unshakable need to piss. You ask your friends to hold on, dipping down 11th Street between two parked cars, where you [...]

Don’t Buy: Pete Yorn - Back and Fourth

I can’t help fighting the idea that Pete Yorn trying to be M. Ward.
His newest disc, Back and Fourth reeks of M. Ward similarities, down to the scruffy voice and Saddle Creek sound, even to the point of getting producer Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes fame to hop on board. Add this to the fact [...]

Buy: Ajay Bhatt Dell Commercials

We’ve all seen the commercials where the Mac-Monster (Justin Long) is putting down the little weak computer company made for moms - Dell (John Hodgman). But in case you live in a marketing void, here’s an example:

Proving that Dell IS your mom’s PC, they have fought dry humor with over-the-top-slow-motion-swooning. Watch now as Ajay Bhatt [...]

Buy: Billy Mays (not his products)

We all know Billy Mays… you know, the guy on infomercials always yelling at you to buy his products? OxyClean, Big City Slider, Mighty Putty; you name the problem and he’s probably made some product to fix it.
But I’m not here to post about his products (I never have nor probably will use them), I [...]

BUY: Watchmen graphic novel….THEN see the movie, if you just can’t resist…(at the very least for Haley’s Rorschach performance)

Let me go ahead and warn everybody right now…I am a huge fan of the Watchmen graphic novel, so, this is a review coming from someone who has been anxiously awaiting this movie for the past few years. I’ll do my best to critique for the uninitiated as well, but, seeing as how I can’t [...]

Buy: The New Manufacturing Economy

Here’s something to think about:

The human (Homo Sapien) is constructed of 2,900,000,000 units of DNA, or base-pairs. This immense network of variant combinations of ATCG can be thought of as Code, much like binary code. Between you and me and the next person there is less than a 3% variance in that code, [...]

Buy: ASmallWorld: Social Networking Elite

Recently, I was invited to ASmallWorld.net, an invite-only social network who’s aim is to connect the top 0.5% (of what you ask? of people, period). At first, the words “pretentious” and “barf” popped in my head, but after interacting with the people on there, I have come to believe this is probably the best social [...]

Buy: Recession Specials

Because we’re all fucking broke.
