And now a little music…

There’s a husband and wife cabaret duo called, The Wet Spots that I’d like to  introduce you to. They’ve been performing around the world since 2003, and they’ve developed quite a little niche’ for themselves.  Bawdy, kinky, musical numbers that will make you laugh and blush.
Cass King and John Woods write and perform colorful songs [...]

A Reminder: Sometimes the Daily Helping isn’t safe for work.

As much as I like discussing prime time television and sharing a spy novel or two…there are also going to be times when the Daily Helping opts for gratuitous nudity.  Again, this may alienate a certain demographic, but I’m open to all suggestions as far as content goes.  If there are readers out there who [...]

Retro Cop

This Wednesday night ABC relaunches it’s new sci-fi police drama, Life On Mars.  It’s scheduled to follow Lost,  hopefully to be found.  This is an entertaining  show that has enjoyed decent enough ratings and strong critical support.  It’s one of a very small handful of shows that debuted in ‘08 and will live on in [...]

Wierd Tales, Superheros and Romance

Every so often I’ll come across a website that truly represents the diversity and unique expertise of collectors.  Now there are some folks who collect stamps, or autographs, or even Hawaiian Shirts, but my interest is popular culture and I thought you might find this comic book website worth a quick look.
Now what’s interesting about [...]

Monsters, drugs, violence and sex…don’t wait for the movie.

There will be a few recommendations made here that fall under the category of guilty pleasures. Not everyone is going to find the appeal in these fairly obscure movies, books, television shows or whatever…but there’s something there and I wouldn’t mention these if I didn’t think that had some raw entertainment value.  Thank me later.
I’m [...]

Road Rage

Upon launching this blog I’ve had to contemplate what type of content I would need to provide in order to build readership. Common sense said porn and guns would be my best bet.  I say no time like the present to  bring out the heavy artillery.
This is a YouTube clip of what seems like a [...]

Yo Yo Ma is no Ashley Simpson

It’s hard to find fault with anything associated with the Presidential Inauguration.  Even the Chief Justice’s mistake with the oath of office seemed perfect. (Obama is one of a number of Senators who voted against Justice Robert’s confirmation and it was our favorite constitutional law professor who knew the oath by heart).
I didn’t like that [...]

The Oscar Nominations

The Academy Award Nominations were announced early this morning.  There were some minor surprises among those nominated and those that weren’t, but all in all it should be a pretty interesting award show.
Here are some of the major categories and a few of my thoughts on who might win.
BEST PICTURE
THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
FROST/NIXON
MILK
THE [...]

Ace kisses Obi-Wan on the mouth.

I don’t really pay much attention to the Sundance Film Festival. I probably should, but it’s not all that interesting unless you like seeing movie stars in heavy coats. There will eventually be a story about a movie that comes out of no where that knocks everyone out.  The first of these was Sex, Lies [...]

This ain’t no Charlie Rose.

Sometimes an interview can be much more interesting if the interviewer proves equally, if not more compelling.  I’d like to share an example with you here.
Over the past month and a half, the legend that is Mickey Rourke continues to grow. Riding a renewed wave of popularity due to his powerful performance in The Wrestler, [...]
