Jonah Golberg states what a lot of us have been wondering about the new King Kong movie: But explain to me one thing. A bunch of explorers go to an island. They find a giant gorilla. That’s cool. But they also find dinosaurs. They go crazy for the giant gorilla — which is totally legit….

I want a G.I. Joe and a pony. Oh, and Vice City.
A few weeks ago I posted about the Amazon wishlists, getting some of the other MonitorDuty posters and commenters to share theirs. I thought I’d pass on a site I’ve found useful, now that it’s holiday shopping season. My Amazon wishlist is six pages long because it’s mostly for self-reference. I’ll read an article about,…

It’s not “Turkey Day”…but here’s a turkey
One past Thanksgiving, my wife’s coworkers had a fun competition where they all took a coloring book picture of a turkey and each was supposed to submit a finished colored pic for judging.

Soar Campaign ending 11/25
Recently Best Buy approached me to run an ad for their new online trailer for the movie “Soar.” I watched the trailer and found it entertaining (I hope you’ve all clicked on it and seen the trailer; it is hilarious), so I agreed. Up til now, I hadn’t ever run ads to pay for this…
King Kong on Turner Classic Movies tonight!
Libertas points out that King Kong will be on Turner Classic Movies. I think this will give me the proper motivation to hook up my cable box tonight. I’ve been paying extra for the expanded range of movies on my cable, except that it requires the use of this box that I really don’t want…
South Park controversy on CNN!
Here is the video which CNN is running that covers the recent controversial anti-Scientology episode of South Park. You have to love that CNN cites Madonna for a quote because she practices Kabbalah…which, by the way, is nothing like Scientology. (I’m guessing it’s because no Scientologist would give them a quote.) Madonna says that, “I…
