First, our room was not ready (granted, we arrived before check-in), so we were asked... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~487070404228 Sat, 3 Oct 2009 18:00:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_487070404228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_465710780036?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SLOW - Joey B. and me used to play those adventure titles over at his house, first on his Commodore 64, in the classic verb-noun text-only motif, then, eventually, with some sparse side-scrolling graphics (which were often more confusing than elucidating) on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~465710780036 Thu, 2 Apr 2009 15:17:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_465710780036?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_451429830276?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SLOW - Mela is very proud of their buffet. Very proud. And, really, it looks as if there's a lot to be proud of; from what I could see, it looks to be a very nice buffet. Really.

Unfortunately, this was not one of them. Georgie shot his wad early, on his first two undead flicks (he had some other, non-zombie, movies between the first two Dead pix...including an OJ... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~435571691140 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:56:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_435571691140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_413557165700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author SLOW - I am not sure where Jamie Kennedy comes from, career-wise, and why he was given an opportunity to make his own movie(s). Perhaps he has extremely wealthy parents. Maybe someone owes a friend of his a favor for something. He just doesn't seem like the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~413557165700 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:03:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_413557165700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432303148676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SLOW - SPOILERS ABOUND. You've been warned. "The Osterman Weekend" is a deeply flawed movie. Then again, the 1980s was a deeply flawed decade. You can start with the hair, and work up...the hair is really pretty bad. Then there's the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432303148676 Mon, 2 Jun 2008 21:28:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432303148676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431786397316?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author SLOW - This is a console game that started from a series of stories that became an entire literary mythos, then a genre of fiction, which then inspired a role-playing game.

It's one of those miniscule towns that seems to have sprung wholly-formed at the intersection of two lonely country highways, strung between interstates, a gas-and-go locale for transients. So you might have... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~415142284932 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:30:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_415142284932?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_413179022980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author SLOW - Because, like, it's invisible.

I never wanted to go back as a student. I really dig being a teacher. But I didn't enjoy my high school days as a student. It was not fun.

I have a rather large bias, too: Hartzell is a good friend of mine. We've worked together in the past, on more than one occasion, for much mutual profit. Plus, the bastard still has my cooler... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~385624477316 Tue, 3 Jul 2007 16:09:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_385624477316?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_360120553092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SLOW - Could be.

The bunny trail to massive, computer-fueled riches, I mean. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are two of the Information Age's archetypical players, so it's only right that they be portrayed in the medium most... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~335752498820 Thu, 5 Apr 2007 18:16:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_335752498820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_331713056388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SLOW - This is not a film. It is pure homage to the Great Ripped One. Which makes sense. I mean, Hollywood is in California. Arnie is the no-kidding gub'ner of California.

Don't like the idea of having them, don't like being around them, and don't like the way our culture seems to use "children" as an excuse for an astounding host of idiotic things. Which, I guess, makes me an outlier.

It seemed to me that the entirety of English teachers worldwide were in a vast conspiracy to make kids hate reading by forcing them to consume ancient garbage, while ignoring (or worse,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~310068022916 Mon, 19 Feb 2007 16:27:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_310068022916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_313399086724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author SLOW - All right-- I get it. Yes. I understand. Gangsters settle all their problems, dilemmas, discussions, confrontations, and issues by beating the snot out of or killing someone. Gotcha. Sure.

I don't like Los Angeles. I don't like Angelinos. I think the entire West Coast is just a hindrance that prevents Nevada from having beachfront property.
