1408 Pleasantly Surprises; Receives 3/10 Berating
Posted by The Gimcracker in Beratings, Movies on 18. Jul, 2007 | Comments
I was expecting one of two things, either a supernatural demon/spirit filled journey into the depths of hades, or a slasher film. 1408 was neither (although closer to the former than the latter). Think The Shining meets Identity.
The Good
John Cusack one-mans most of the movie (based on a short story by Stephen King) and does [...]

Jonathan Wey is writing again. That’s all you need to know.
Not since Dragons Buried on High have we been privileged with such an uninhibited glimpse into such a unique mind. He is a MUCH better writer than I (I’m talking LITS here) and you can tell that he meticulously prepares each and every post. I [...]
Beratings Cometh
Posted by The Gimcracker in Beratings, Movies on 11. Jul, 2007 | Comments
Don’t you hate it when that list of 10 movies you’ve been dying to see suddenly escapes your memory as soon as you enter Blockbuster? I’ve decided to start rating the movies I’ve seen, not because I think anyone actually cares what my opinion is, but because I find myself frequently forgetting what they were [...]
Why I’m Scared Of Iran
Posted by The Gimcracker in News, Theory & Philosophy on 10. Jul, 2007 | Comments
A man and woman were just stoned to death in Iran, according to this FoxNews.com article, and it wasn’t carried out by a few outraged villagers wielding pitchforks as I had previously envisioned it. Iran’s government confirmed that they were responsible for stoning the man as punishment for adultery. I’m dumbfounded that something like this [...]

Her name is Mika Brzezinski and I am now a tremendous fan of hers. She even got her own hour-long news show because of her outburst. This is almost enough to make me start watching MSNBC… almost.
Counterintuitive Madness

I have always been fascinated with counterintuitive puzzles. During my third year in quantitative analysis at IUPUI I was presented with the famous Monty Hall problem. It states:
Suppose you’re on a game show, and you’re given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, [...]
Death Penalty = Abortion?
Posted by The Gimcracker in Theory & Philosophy on 02. Jul, 2007 | Comments
I am no politician and I never will be. I have no idea what the political ramifications are of stating that the death penalty equals abortion. I am coming from a Christian conservative background, but being non-political means you can pretty much remove the “conservative” and say I’m simply coming from a Christian background. I [...]
