Do you go out of your way to look at people’s socks?
Maybe you appreciate a pair that perfectly matches the outfit. Maybe you give an inner fistbump.gif to the dude who dares to wear fuchsia socks with his nice tailored suit. Or maybe you are a Dread Overlord of a self-aggrandizing website and you have a thing for monkeys. Who knows! Continue reading
After a long, cold winter, mostly devoid of movies I’m actually interested in seeing, we’re about a month away from the start of the summer blockbuster movie season. We’ve got a slightly less crowded docket than usual this year with superheroes, AI’s, giant monsters, giant robots, and a talking raccoon, so let’s get right down to it.
Welcome to Biz Monkie’s Midnight Movie Reviews Summer 2014 Movie Preview! Continue reading
I usually ignore fast food advertising, but I recently got a flier in the mail that grabbed my attention. A new place has opened nearby called Kono Pizza that serves pizza in a cone. Pizza. In a cone.
New Jersey has some of the country’s best Italian fast food. There’s a mom-and-pop pizzeria in just about every strip mall. You can buy a $2.50 slice or a $14 pie as big as a manhole cover: delicious with a fragrant, firm, yeasty crust that stands up to generous amounts of delicately seasoned marinara and gobs of salty mozzarella, plus whatever toppings you please (unless you’re into freaky things like sweet corn and shrimp.

I just checked my Netflix queue, and this copy of The Thing has been sitting on my DVD player, unwatched, since Christmas Eve, 2013.
You see, as a child, my mom and step-dad had a laissez faire attitude about TV watching. And with my friend, Premium Cable, I watched a number of movies that were inappropriate for my age. I still have nightmares from watching The Thing, Poltergeist, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Oh, Mommy Dearest also traumatized me. Continue reading

Previously, on RuPaul’s Drag Race, I wondered if there was a point to this show. Continue reading
Oh, business meetings, how we loathe thee. Here we sit, cursed with the meeting being lead by someone who doesn’t know how to lead meetings. Who cannot stick to the agenda. Whose agenda is terrible to start with. Who cannot control the grand-standers and blow-hards, the completely-off-topic-ers. Who cannot keep a clock. Continue reading
