Lately Al Gore’s 2004 rival has been making news for some remarkably bad pictures he painted. Hell, everybody needs a hobby. Continue reading

Here at Crasstalk we love the movies. Oscar contenders, summer tent-poles, independent releases, documentaries, even frivolous guilty pleasures we won’t admit to enjoying. Continue reading
Let’s Play a Game
One of the things that I loved about the Sunday paper was the compilation of TV listings for the coming week, printed in a handy booklet that would live in the TV room. The best part was reading the incredibly brief synopsis of the movies. These condensed reviews were often unintentionally funny. Thankfully there were copy editors that fearlessly chopped down those synopsis until they fit into the daily grid. I salute you. Continue reading
Over the last eight months I’ve built an organization from the ground up, consisting of nearly 300 members spread all over the world. I’ve had to choose team leaders, assign and delegate tasks, recruit, deal with challenges posed by my superiors, make sure the people reporting to me get the resources they need to do their jobs, and manage interpersonal conflicts, all while completing my own goals and objectives.

Calling its launch a disaster would almost have been an understatement. However, rather than pack up my things and go to some other imaginary online universe, I stuck it out. I saw a huge amount of potential, and I’m pleased to report that my faith has been rewarded. There have been some growing pains, but I finally feel comfortable recommending Marvel Heroes, and here’s why.
Star Trek Into Darkness director J.J. Abrams was recently quoted blasting the movie’s tie-in video game, saying: Continue reading
I used to love Choose Your Own Adventure and Which Way books. The books all started the same. Then you’d be able to pick what the lead character did, and flip the appropriate page in the book, and carry on the story from there.
This is a variation on that. I start the story. Then you take over and finish the story in the comments. This is a great way to capitalize on my insanity and laziness.
Thanks to Ms_Print for inspiring this week’s story.
