Why I’ll never see Transformers 2

July 6th, 2009 · 11 Comments

Why so much hate for “Sit Down and Shut Up”?

May 11th, 2009 · 2 Comments

So this may be a strange first real post, but it’s not like anyone’s reading this, so it’s rather fitting. No one is watching or seems to even like the new Michal Hurwitz sitcom, “Sit Down and Shut Up”, and I have no idea why.
Let’s put it simply: this show is fucking brilliant. I don’t [...]
