From The Sh– To Just Sh–ty… The Cutting Edge

In honor of the upcoming Winter Olympics, I thought it was my place to present a film I consider to be The Shit and all the Just Shitty things that followed.
Not enough people know about this film, in my opinion.  The Cutting Edge would be, what I consider, the perfect gateway romantic comedy.  It’s like [...]

The Sh– To Just Sh–ty… John Cusack

The quest begins to pinpoint the moment that John Cusack went from being The Shit to becoming sort of Just Shitty.
In the annals (ha!) of this category, it is not necessarily a title one’s locked into and therefore it’s totally reversible.  With his upcoming films Hot Tub Time Machine and the possible Cosmic Banditos, the turd that [...]

The Sh– To Just Sh–ty… De-Evolution Of The Bar Scene, Explained By John Travolta’s Movie Choices

(UPDATE: I feel like I shortchanged the comparison. See the nickel’s worth improvement below.)
The older you get, the more your tastes change.  Whereas you once lived and breathed for laser lights, booming bass, and whatever is in those smoke machines (I like to imagine nerdy children are in the basement clapping erasers in front of [...]

The Sh– To Just Sh–ty… This Decade For Me

Last year at this time, I decided to have a New Year’s Resolution Revolution and solve some problems.  This year – I’m evaluating my decade.  Everybody else is doin’ it, so why not me.
The end of the last decade was The Shit:
1999

Having just returned from spending a month in Europe, and ready to sell [...]

The Sh– To Just Sh–ty… When Luke Wilson Met AT&T

Gather ’round, gather ’round, oh ye of the current Idiocracy… it’s time for a little history lesson.
Once upon a time, AT&T was The Shit.  Mostly, this was due to the fact it was The Only Shit out there, but allow me to quickly sum up the company’s roots:

1878 – Once Alexander Graham Bell “invents” the telephone [...]

The Sh– To Just Sh–ty… Movie Themes

(I apologize for the slow load on this page, but I decided to collect the clips for easier access.  And sorry the list is so long, but I wanted to prove a point.)
When talking about a movie’s score, modern audiences probably think it has something to do with how much it made at the [...]

The Sh– To Just Sh–ty… Ferris Bueller – I Mean, Matthew Broderick

When I think of someone who is the epitome of The Shit, my mind immediately conjures Ferris Bueller.  A friend to all, a schemer, a dreamer, and a figment of Cameron Frye’s imagination (?), Matthew Broderick brought the ultimate cool-guy to life (and paved the way as a future archetype for Parker Lewis and Zack Morris).
And [...]

JusWondering… Can I Jam Pack Many Halloween Posts In One Post? Yes.

Happy Find… Man Up Your Girly Boy This Halloween
Courtesy of the Onion News Network comes this gem.  What I like best is the part where they’re mean to the kids…

 
In My Brain While Sleeping… A Costume I Never Would Have Thought Of While Awake
Blah blah blah subconscious something something weird dream… [...]

The Sh– To Just Sh–ty… Mac Versus PC

When these commercials first came out, I loved them.  I’ve worked in IT for almost ten years, and the lowest moment for me was the release of Windows Vista.
Which is why the Mac Vs. PC commercials always made me smile – they had a point.  In reality, if I had to deal with issues involving [...]

The Sh– To Just Sh–ty… Harrison F—ing Ford

Harrison Fucking Ford.  It’s his middle name, really.  (No, not really.  He has none.  He did go by Harrison J. Ford early in his career as not to be confused with the silent film actor of the same name, but I digress.)
Back in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and, um, just 2000, Ol’ Harry was at [...]
