The Tuesday Blues
THE TUESDAY BLUES 01/06/15 THE GUEST *** (out of ****) From the second we see the font of the title during the title screen of Adam Wingard’s The Guest, out on Blu-Ray today, we know he’s ready to fuck around a little bit. I don’t know about fonts, so I can’t really tell you…

If you’ve visited the website for longer than 2 seconds, you get that the tone ranges from semi-serious reviews to the out-and-out farcical.

It means a lot that everyone would give so generously to a handful of people who are addicted to pop culture, even if you only gave to get us to shut the fuck up.…

While I write this update, I’m drinking a Bloody Mary, and doing so for a couple of reasons: First off, because it’s Saturday.

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I was this week. After years of only seeing clips here and there of their awesome talent, I was finally going to sit down and watch an honest to goodness, feature length Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers classic! There was no doubt…
