Well, well, looky here...an update! Yes, we keep making promises to get back to regular posts...and then life keeps happening and getting in our way. But here we are again, desperately attempting to stay connected to something besides our day jobs.
The Prophet has actually written a new article for the site, but it's been so long since we've updated that his username and password isn't working on the webhost. So as he's trying to fix that, here I am, telling you all that we're still alive.
This is proof that if you stick with us, sooner or later we'll be back.
I can tell you that the Prophet's new article is another "quickie review" post. This time he's looking at
300 and
God of War 2. I can't speak about the video game. I think the last game I played was
Super Mario Brothers. But I have seen 300, and I have a burning question.
Why do all these manly-men epics feel the need to make their villains so effete?
Braveheart...
Gladiator...
300...even
Spartacus...in every one of these films, the main bad guy is either openly gay or implied to be. One wonders why such homoerotic films (scantily clad men in close, intimate proximity to more scantily clad men) are also so homophobic. If it happens in one film, it's easily looked over. When it happens in several, it becomes an alarming trend.
Thoughts?
We're headed toward hurricane season again. Having lived through several, and having recently seen
An Inconvenient Truth, I'm terrified. I hope this year goes better than past years, but I have my doubts. Those of you who live on the coast in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama--feel free to write in and tell your stories. We need to hear them.
Oh...an as an Alanis fan, I'm not sure whether I think this is really funny or just much, much better than the original:
