This Is Spinal Tap is, possibly, the funniest movie ever made. Top three at worst.

New reviews up from me on #Shfl! The best album from a band in maybe three decades, definitely the best from one in two decades, and the rock debut of the year!

It turns out that leaving the bat wings on George for a while breaks his tiny cat brain.

Caught Bryan Fuller’s debut film, Dust Bunny, at Beyond Fest last night, and it’s the Amelie/Leon/Tremors mashup you never knew you needed. Keep an eye out for it when it hits theaters in December.
