CPO: You think my shoes are made of leather.
Things have been crazy busy around here lately. Between laying around time and watching reruns of “House”, I haven’t had time to put together a decent column. (Not that I ever bother writing a decent column anyway.)
CPO: Hulu
I like this Hulu thing. It allows me to watch episodes of “House” or “Newsradio” while taking a bath.
Perhaps, I’ve said too much.
CPO: Randomness
The summer movie blockbuster season is all but over, and it seems like we have entered the next season: dying Blaxpoitation star season. Isaac Hayes and Julius Carry both dead? Crazy. (You really can’t count Bernie Mac as a Blaxploitation star, although I never saw Mr. 3000.) All I’m saying is that I’d be [...]
CPO: The Dark Knight Discussion Topics
So I went and saw The Dark Knight last Thursday. I had received a series of horrifying phone calls, and was forced to see the film under threat of catapult. This damned movie has become a phenomenon. Even if you don’t care about it, you are obligated to see this thing. It appears [...]
CPO: What’s Happening?
The depressing thing about seeing a ton of movies, is that one begins to realize how few movies there actually are. Not only are there numerous remakes and sequels, but we also have an abundance of movies that are, more or less, pre-existing films with a minor alteration. Disturbia is just a Millennial generation Rear [...]
CPO: Documented Villains
Happy 4th of July, the holiday where we celebrate the day after the day after the writing of our Declaration of Independence.
This week’s column has nothing to do with that thing.
CPO: B-sides and Rarities
(This thing is cut a bit short this week. Feel free to play along at home. CPO the home game can be shipped to you directly for only 19.99 plus a 4.95 handling fee.)
Almost all film actors start out making B-movies. Most of them never move beyond these b-pictures and die sad, alone and penniless. [...]
CPO: A Brief History of Cross-pollination
The Incredible Hulk is coming out at about the same time as I’m writing this thing. I’ve got super-heroes on the brain once again.
Marvel’s word of the moment is cross-pollination. Everyone, myself included, has apparently jumped on that bandwagon and accepted the term. When Tony Stark shows up in The Incredible Hulk, they (and [...]
CPO: Dan in Real Life
The way that I was able to come up with this script is that I read somebody else’s script and changed how some of the parts were, so that the movie would be more like my family and me. And that’s how I wrote the script all by myself. Then I made the actor’s improvise [...]
CPO: 09.04.08
I watched Iron Man this week, and damn if that isn’t a fun movie. It’s fast-paced, develops its characters, makes in-jokes that aren’t distracting to non-comics fans, and left me wanting more. The film raises questions about the accountability of weapons manufacturers, without preaching or providing easy answers. Thematically, it’s a coming-of-age story for the [...]
