  Caught a friend on Cash Cab

  04.16.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  We don’t let Niko watch a lot of tv, but his two favorite shows are Cash Cab and Deadliest Catch. Today we turned on Cash Cab just in time to see a friend of ours from b-school (w/ three other ppl) miss the last strike and get booted out of the cab with nothing.
  Apparently those [...]

  Deep mysteries of the universe

  01.18.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Have you ever watched a foreign movie with both english dubbed dialogue and english subtitles? It’s as if they try to make the dialogue and the subtitles different. Some of our favorite examples from The Host:

  Dialogue: Am I fucking blind?
  Subtitles: You really didn’t see it?
  …
  Dialogue: You are dimwits right to the end.
  Subtitles: Morons, to the [...]

  Rescue Dawn and Werner Herzog

  11.23.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  We just Netflixed Rescue Dawn, a Werner Herzog movie about a Vietnam-era navy pilot who escapes from a Laotian prison.
  Werner Herzog movies are growing on me. He’s sort of obsessed with obsession… Rescue Dawn is about a man obsessed with survival; the last Herzog movies we saw were Grizzly Man (man obsessed with… grizzlies) and [...]

  Flight of the Conchords

  11.07.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  We just got Flight of the Conchords Season 1 on netflix, and it is the funniest show I’ve ever seen. It’s about two musicians from New Zealand trying to get by in New York. They have these great musical fantasy sequences where they sing about a girl being the “most beautiful girl in the room, [...]

  In praise of Sneakers (1992)

  07.07.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  I always like movies about business (The Secret of My Succes, anyone?), especially the business of technology. They’re fun to critique and most have a couple of very serious falsehoods.
  But my favorite in the genre has to be Sneakers, with Robert Redford. First, it’s about crypto, which is cool. Second, it has espionage and intrigue [...]

  Domino’s Pizza Sucks

  12.27.05 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  This is why we’re not going to eat their pizza (other than quality)… the founder of Domino’s is Thomas Monaghan, who also started the Thomas Moore Law Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Thomas Moore Center calls itself the “sword and shield for people of faith”; it has defended various pro-life groups and supports the [...]
