ManWithPez

Ooooh yeah!  It’s about high time I had some class round here!  No, I’m kidding.  All the Hot Nerd Crushes are classy ladies, but, this one, well, she just seems to be a cut above.  She’s been a Bond girl, the object of a time traveller’s affections, the paramour of the Phantom of the Opera, and a foulmouthed politico’s wife!  Not to mention a medicine woman!  Hell, she was even in the original Battlestar Galactica!  So, here’s to Jane Seymour, the best woman to turn up in Playboy without actually taking anything off. (DAMN IT!) (more…)

Once again, this Friday we look into annoying people.  Here’s the thing, though…it’s so easy to annoy people, that some of us…and me, I’m looking at you here…can do it without even meaning to.  I can be sitting quietly and people will want to come over and hit me.  Just the kind of guy I am.  So, I if I have to take this abuse, I’m going to try and spread the love.  10 New Ways To Annoy #5 starts now.

He’s one of the smartest men of our times, is old Stephen Hawking, and puts him firmly in “vs Chuck Norris” territory.  After seeing him on The Simpsons…I don’t know.  That wheelchair might be an unfair advantage.  Then again, it’s Chuck Norris, who clearly has it coming! (more…)

I am shamed and saddened that Lee Pace wasn’t the first to be on my list of mancrushes, but, then again, that would make it kind of obvious that I have a crush on him, huh?  The good thing about this mancrush?  You don’t just have to take my word for it this time!  Check it out! (more…)

Or, at least it should be.  That’s right, today, in fictional history back in 1955 Doctor Emmett Brown invented the Flux Capacitor, which is what makes time travel, and one of your better science fiction films, Back to the Future, possible! (more…)

When I watch epic films or TV series, I pay attention to the early relationships formed between the characters.  Why would I do this?  Well, it’s been my experience that the closer the relationship, the better the showdown between the characters when things go wrong.  And things always go wrong!  Then again, sometimes the chemistry works in just a way that you just know these people (or things) are going to throw down and provide you, the moviegoing/couch potato nerds with a fight worth watching!  So, here they are, my favorite showdowns!  (The criteria here is that there has to be a bit of an emotional investment in the fight, and the people involved have to have a reason to rumble.  Also, they have to actually show what happens…so, please don’t come after me with Bucho vs El Mariachi, okay?)

I’m a huge fan of time travel movies, as you’ll discover if you hang around this site this month.  Why this month?  That will become apparent in the next movie review.  For now (heh), however, let’s kick off with one of the first and the best, 1960s The Time Machine. (more…)

Ah, Tracie Thoms.  You know what…there’s really not a lot I have to say about her, other than she’s absolutely gorgeous, one hell of an actress, and man, can she sing!  Then again, I don’t really have to say much else, do I? (more…)
