Ta Da!

Ladies and gentlemen–and Floyd–it is my distinct privilege to present to you the man, the myth, the legend, Threedonia’s own…

…Rich Trzupek!

Excuse the framing and shakiness–I had butterflies.

Leaving Soon

Another quick one this week:

The Verdict (10/11): A washed-up, ambulance-chasing attorney (Paul Newman) gets a chance at redemption when his friend (Jack Warden) tosses him an open-and-shut medical malpractice case. But instead of accepting an easy cash settlement, he takes the powerful defendant to court.

King Lear (10/15): In Peter Brook’s cinematic adaptation [...]

Splitting the Baby

Talk about spiteful:

When the Church of the Good Shepherd in Binghamton, N.Y., left the Episcopal Church over disagreements about what the Bible says about sexuality, the congregation offered to pay for the building in which it worshiped. In return the Episcopal Church sued to seize the building, then sold it for a fraction of [...]

Beats Old Grand-Dad

Reporter menaced by wild turkey:

Onion Sports

For all its faults, The Onion does sports pretty well.

I cued it up to the Tim Wakefield story partly because I think it’s funny, but mostly to let Raoul know that I’m a horrible person who believes the Red Sox collapse is a more important story than anything else in the entire world.

Leaving Soon

Not much expiring this week, so this’ll be quick:

Coming Distractions

Not just “Leaving Soon” this week, as Netflix just added quite a few notable titles, mostly television series.

Another week, another large slate of movies leaving Netflix streaming:

Leaving Soon

I skipped last week’s entry because there weren’t any notable movies leaving the Netflix streaming service—except for The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, that is!  Don’t worry, -fritz-!  You have a few days left to catch it!

It’s a different story this week, because a lot of movies and television shows [...]

Leaving Distractions

A  short list this week, which is a good thing.

Bright Lights, Big City: In this downbeat drama based on Jay McInerney’s autobiographical novel, New York City yuppie and aspiring writer Jamie Conway (Michael J. Fox) seeks oblivion in cocaine and the glittery nightclub scene as his life falls apart. (9/12/11)

Movies of note that will soon be dropping off the Netflix streaming service:

Netflix Streaming: Coming and Going

Some notable films One TV show I’ve heard of is coming soon to Netflix streaming, and some notable films are dropping off the service.

Party Time!

It’s the most anticipated day of the year here at Threedonia, but it wouldn’t be a party without music and games!  (Music selection definitely not endorsed by Outlaw, Eric, Floyd, Rufus, or Wankette.)

Fill-In Five

I posted this in an open thread, but what the heck.

Top 5 Lyrics That Only Rhyme If You Mispronounce Words:*

(N.B. I like every one of these songs, even though the rhymes don’t work.)

Baby Made a Boom Boom!

One of the stranger stories I’ve read lately:

Mark Anthony Richardson II…must serve five years on probation after his release and register as a sex offender. Last year, he fooled two women into baby-sitting him at their Oklahoma City homes, police said.

He pretended to be autistic and have the mind of a young [...]

It’s Sad Because It’s True

I honestly thought this story was from The Onion, but alas…

Campus Crusade for Christ, a well-known inter-denominational evangelical association, is changing it’s name. First, they’re dropping the word “campus,” because they do a lot of work off campuses now. Then of course, “crusade” has to be changed because it has offensive connotations, apparently.

Oh, [...]
