There’s such a thing as being too into a player, I think… Broke the seal on baseball season this week by attending my first game. Marlins at Nats. Of course Miami lost, but it’s the experience that makes it all feel right. Movies Looper - Best line: “I don’t want to talk about time travel shit. Because if we talk about it, then we’re gonna be here all day, drawing diagrams with straws.” What a brilliantly done movie. Just such a tightly constructed plot. Lots of fun. I really dug it. ...

Everyone loves to mock it, but it’s home. It’s that time of year again, everyone. Baseball season has begun anew! Movies Ruby Sparks - Way darker than I expected it to be, but, then again, I always expected it to be skewering the manic pixie dream girl trope. Well acted and quick. I dug it more than 500 Days TV 30 Clubs in 30 Days - Watched the Orioles breakdown with Katie. Pretty fun. I think the team will exceed expectations this year too. ...

http://youtu.be/Hm6AeNT0Jqo Remember when this blog first started and all I did on it was post Metal Gear trailers and talk about how good Metal Gear was? That time seems to be coming back… This trailer looks…amazing. It’s also far better to play as Big Boss than Solid Snake. Could be an interesting game. PS: I also dig the Garbage song that plays throughout.

It really should be a snow day today, but circumstances conspire against me… (Photo by Hobbes vs Boyle) It’s cold and snowy and I hate it, but this should (hopefully) be winter’s last hurrah before spring and baseball season. Movies Silver Linings Playbook - You know? I actually enjoyed this movie a lot more on second viewing. The acting is all quite good. Definitely one you should see if you have yet to catch it. ...

The goofiest secret handshake ever (Photo courtesy: machu picchu) I did it, guys. I finally went and watched my netflix movie. It was…decidedly less awesome than I thought it would be. Movies Sound of My Voice - It’s not that Sound of My Voice is a bad movie. That’s not it at all…it’s more that I was expecting something a little creepier and a little headier than what I got in this. At least it was quick. ...

It only took a day to raise the $2M required, which is incredible/insane, but the Veronica Mars movie kickstarter has been fully funded. I loved this show. Gonna be so great! PS: The embedded pitch video is pretty funny, you guys.

An old logo, but only the year’s changed, really. (Photo by loquat73) The World Baseball Classic has been tremendous fun to watch. I love international play and some of the teams have been pretty passionate (like the Mexico/Canada brawl) Movies None! Sorry again! TV Archer - Season 3 just got put on to Netflix, so that’s great! I’ve been doing a lot of catching up with Katie ...

Yeah, guys. I got a piñata. (Photo by DJOtaku) Whoa, this is a little late. Whoops. Sorry guys. Movies Not this week. TV Archer - Both watching new episodes and catching up with Katie. I liked the weird homage to The Natural Community - Really not the same show. It’s missing its soul and that kind of stinks. Hopefully they find their stride because I do like watching these actors at the very least. ...

Baseball’s finally back. Sure, it’s in spring training, but it’s BACK! Whoops! Sorry about the week off there! Back to the grind. It’s also baseball season (still spring training) again! YAY! Movies Skyfall - I didn’t have a seamless, uninterrupted viewing thanks to Chinese food and plumbers and plumbing catastrophes, but this was definitely a beautiful movie. I’d like to watch it again to let it all sink in. ...

Birthday happy hour last week (Photo by Eric) Another year, another birthday. I continue to get older and, oddly enough, wiser. Movies In the Loop - I’m a big fan of Iannucci’s work and this movie doesn’t disappoint. Well, except for the fact that its ending is depressing and mostly based on real life. That part’s a huge bummer. TV The Thick of It - Oh man, the part where Hugh used Glen’s developmentally challenged son in a story to get out of trouble…wow… ...
