Doctor Who for Beginners: The Doctor

July 24th, 2008 · No Comments

To continue my Doctor Who for Beginners series I began a million years ago with Daleks for Dummies, I’d like to start a new subseries where I introduce you to each of the Doctors and plow my way through the first four so I can start talking shit about Davison, Colin Baker, and McCoy. […]

Old Media Vs. New Media

May 1st, 2008 · 3 Comments

 
 Oh man. I kinda feel guilty even posting this but it’s an interesting trainwreck to watch. The other night on HBO’s Costas Now, Bob had a roundtable discussion with Buzz Bissinger - the award winning author (Friday Night Lights) and former reporter for the Chicago Tribune and the Philadelphia Inquirer and Deadspin.com founder/editor/blogger Will Leitch and Cleveland Browns […]

Who’s A Cooler Mayor: Tommy Carcetti or Michael Nutter?

March 4th, 2008 · 2 Comments

That’s an unfair question since one of those guys isn’t real. But, Mayor Nutter knows how to keep it real - he’s such a big fan of HBO’s The Wire (AKA - the best television show evar!) that he’s arranged for a special network-sanctioned screening of the series finale at City Hall on Sunday night.

I’ll take Villanova Punx for $800, Alex

September 20th, 2007 · 4 Comments

Jeopardy is probably my favorite TV show. Last night while watching the show I was amused to note that one of the contestants was sporting the early to mid 90’s emo/indierocker look. She had on these cat eye glasses and she looked like, well, she looked like she’d just gotten back from the More Than […]

Lebanon’s Drug Valley

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments

Here’s some more self-promotion with three new episodes on Lebanon, via VBS. This three-part series is about drugs and Hezbollah, with some gypsies, a disgusting camel (seriously one of the more traumatizing things I’ve ever had to edit) and a blown up bridge for good measure.

If you’re suffering from a case of the Mondays…

September 17th, 2007 · No Comments

… then I have something which will surely make you feel more depressed. I’ve been working hard editing a documentary series for VBS.tv (you know, Vice Magazine’s online video project) about the war last summer between Hezbollah and Israel. This project is epic– I’m cutting about 20 episodes (not to mention editing Israel’s side of […]

Saverio’s World, or More Giant Balls

August 28th, 2007 · 3 Comments

There has been much ado about the hit Sav Rocca was served by Antwan Barnes. Youtube videos, internet messageboards, etc have lit up with the footage and plenty of commentary about it being an “unnecessary hit”, a “cheapshot” and the like. But less people are taking the time to find out Sav’s take on this.

Since things have slowed down here a bit, I figured there’s no better time than the present to get all livejournal/xanga up in this bitch. So recently this Fun Vampire has watching a British show called Totally Frank, on some channel that I think is named Family Room HD. The show is […]

Say It Ain’t So: Gilmore Girls Is Cancelled!

May 4th, 2007 · 6 Comments

Nooooooo!!!!  Earlier this week we geeked out at the fact that the First Unitarian Church was mentioned on Gilmore Girls.  That was fairly mindblowing.  Then, this morning, we received word that the axe has dropped and the show has been cancelled. The final episode is May 15th.  So long, Lorelai.  I’ll miss you!

Philly DIY Mecca Mentioned On The Best TV Show Ever!

The Commish’s Michael Chikles Will Leave You in Stitches

April 24th, 2007 · No Comments

Why not treat yourself to some chuckles by Chikles? You deserve it. TV’s equivalant of comfort food, The Commish, has been off the air for nearly 12 years now but that won’t be a problem since at my last count three season were currently available on DVD.

Michael Chiklis was surprisingly charismatic as Tony Scali, the […]
