  6. Rotten Tomatoes Algorithm Watch 2012 (Brought To You By Matthew Goode-Time Chocolates) Tower, this is Maintenance. We’re running a skeleton crew here as most of my guys are still recovering from getting blitzed over the holidays. Holy crap, some started drinking on the 23rd and haven’t stopped. Looking at this week’s release makes me wish I had done the same. I’ve got a bad feeling about the next 6 weeks, Tower. Strange days.

    Rotten Tomatoes Algorithm Watch 2012 (Brought To You By Matthew Goode-Time Chocolates)

    Tower, this is Maintenance. We’re running a skeleton crew here as most of my guys are still recovering from getting blitzed over the holidays. Holy crap, some started drinking on the 23rd and haven’t stopped. Looking at this week’s release makes me wish I had done the same. I’ve got a bad feeling about the next 6 weeks, Tower. Strange days.

  8. Big Trouble In Little China: Keep Kurt Russell In The Dark

    I loved me some Big Trouble when I was growing up, partly because it was bad-ass from top to bottom but mainly because Jack Burton proved you can be awesome and bumbling simultaneously. 

    Happy New Year!
