The Dark Knight - Opening Weekend! [UK movies] The Dark Knight - Opening Weekend! [UK movies]
Shocking as it may sound, we here in the UK were not privy to the glory that was Batman - The Dark Knight, until this weekend. Yes, our currency may be twice as valuable as yours, our beer may be better, and our football players aren’t all meatheads (for the most part), but despite all of these...

That’s It Man, Game Over, Man! Game Over! [tech] That’s It Man, Game Over, Man! Game Over! [tech]
Thinking back through our lives to early childhood memories, we all have moments of clarity that jump out vividly amongst a sea of hazy images and vague recollections. For us here at the GP, and probably quite a few of our readers, many of those crystal clear memories are scenes from movies we watched...

Nerds, the Internet, and a Political Strategy [politics] Nerds, the Internet, and a Political Strategy [politics]
The Internet has changed everything. I think we can all agree on this. This year is a banner year for changing politics, I can believe that. Not only can we now see every speech a politician gives, it’s now being utilized for organizing donations to campaigns. Of course, the campaigns of Clinton,...

Wanted: This Crow Tastes Delicious [movies] Wanted: This Crow Tastes Delicious [movies]
A few weeks ago, I ranted about how good (bad) Wanted was going to be. I argued that the graphic novel was so over the top and outrageous that they couldn’t possibly make it into a decent flick. E disagreed with me and, well….ug, I hate this…. I suppose E was right. I went to see...

Wanted Is Going To Suck [movies] Wanted Is Going To Suck [movies]
Back in November of 2007, I went into a theater with several members of my family, as many do during the Thanksgiving holiday, and I saw a preview that shocked me with its pure ridiculous Hollywoodness and Angelina Jolie sucktasticness. I’m sure you’re familiar with it: First strike: Angelina...

A Glimpse Backstage A Glimpse Backstage

Election Musings and Predictions [politics] Election Musings and Predictions [politics]
Well, we finally have a Democratic candidate for the Presidency. Despite the long and sometimes frustrating process, I thought it was really good overall. Obama has been vetted, and despite the sometimes nasty attacks from Clinton, we’re all better off for her tactics….this is politics, after...
