		<title>Predators: A Musical</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So saw Predators over the weekend.
It started off promising enough. Then within three minutes the cliches started flying. And kept on flying. There were some interesting bits among the cliches and cribbing from other movies &#8212; cribbing from Predators, of course, is to be expected, but what the frak was up with the Kurosawa sword [...]]]></description>

		<title>Despicable Inception &#8211; My Two Movie Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw both Despicable Me and Inception over the weekend.
Despicable Me was a boat-load of unequivocal fun. A simple story, well told, and some great gags. My only regret is we didn&#8217;t see it in 3-D, but mostly only for the roller coaster scene &#8212; didn&#8217;t notice its absence anywhere else.
Inception, on the other hand&#8230; not [...]]]></description>

EXT. TRAILER PARK (TONOPAH, NEVADA) &#8211; DAY
Dark clouds ominously roll in from the horizon, throwing the run-down trailers into shadow.

		<title>Jared Hess is Not One of Us</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After seeing and getting excited about the trailer way back when (&#8220;Oh, my holy crap, surveillance does! I hate those.&#8221;) I finally got around to watching Gentlemen Broncos (IMDB &#124; Amazon) last week. It&#8217;s a decent enough movie &#8212; typical Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre), a character piece with a sweet heart at its [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, here is the real &#8212; I promise &#8212; first five pages of Robo-Twister versus Sharkazaurus (formerly Sharkasaurus versus RoboTwister, formerly Mr. Smith Goes to Washington). I think it hums along real nice. Hope you agree.

		<title>Arkham Polytech&#8217;s Dead Slow and Needs Fixed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Arkham Polytech web site has been deteriorating for a month now. Thought it was the server, but that&#8217;s been switched, and the other sites on that same server (including Slackpocalypse) are nice and speedy. Page loads are horrible, and getting in to the admin back end (and taking any actions once I&#8217;m in there) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roy Batty, You&#8217;re My Hero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was watching the making-of Blade Runner documentary Dangerous Days over the weekend (again) and an odd idea hit me: Batty is the protagonist of Blade Runner. He&#8217;s the hero. Deckard is actually the antagonist. And that realization only makes me love the movie more.
Let me &#8217;splain.
Classic story structure demands the protagonist is the person [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jonah Hex &#8211; or, A Coffin Full of Suck</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah, Jonah Hex. The movie. Also known as the Crow Goes to the Wild Wild West. Seriously. That&#8217;s the plot. Of all the movies to model on, they chose those two?
Yeah, it was bad. Uwe Boll bad? No. But not good.
And this was one of the ones I was sorta looking forward to. I mean, [...]]]></description>
