March 13, 2011 – Notes on art, comedy, and political subversion.
South Park. Matt and Trey have, in my opinion, created the most entertaining, biting commentary on our society we have in our culture right now. And, (gasp) they do it every week. I don’t know where they get the energy…and … Continue reading

March 10, 2010 – On traveling without travel.
I’ve never been to India. And that makes me like most Americans. I was so impressed by this film, because it gave me a powerful narrative to start to explain this part of the world. Today, I RID it in … Continue reading

March 4, 2011 – Life and what you make of it.
TED is ending today, so it seemed appropriate to RID something I got at the conference last year. This set of DVDs, which I’m sure are really cool…just haven’t made it onto my “to be watched” list in over a … Continue reading

February 20, 2011 – I love a good doc, but still…
There’s nothing I like more than a good documentary. They’re my favorite kind of movie. But lately, I’ve found myself a bit awash in “National Geographic like” documentaries on earth, animal, and planet. So…today I RID myself of this one. … Continue reading

February 12, 2011 – Mighty indeed.
Today, alas…felt like an easy RID. Today, I give away my “A Mighty Wind” DVD. Good, but just not great. No Guffman. No Best in Show. Here’s to artists achieving their peaks.

November 18, 2010 – Some comedy DVDs worth talking about.
I love these DVDs. Mr. Show may have been the best comedy show on television. Get a Life, starring Chris Elliot, was WAY before its time. Chris Farley = tragic genius. And Sports Night was the precursor to the greatness … Continue reading

November 17, 2010 – Sometimes watching TV can educate.
Short entry today, as I’m traveling. I’m a big fan of the documentary. I love seeing things through someone’s eyes who obviously has the passion to delve into a subject deeply. Giving away two today – the YES Men, a … Continue reading

November 16, 2010 – Harsh travel.
This is a GREAT DVD. It’s brought to you from the fine folks at Vice Magazine – that hyper-reality rag from deep inside Canada. They travel in typical Vice fashion – to the slums of Brazil, to the wilderness surrounding … Continue reading

November 14, 2010 – Sometimes old friends disappoint.
I love “It’s always Sunny in Philadelphia” — I find it to be the new standard bearer in inappropriate, laugh-out-loud comedy on television. I gotta give the credit to Danny Devito – I’m not sure I’ve disliked ANYTHING he’s been … Continue reading
