Yes, I know. It’s been ages since I knocked out one of these Bond reviews. I was pondering this very thing the other day while applying a second coat of Thompson’s Water Seal to my new gazebo, wondering how the unstoppable tsunami of blog momentum I had going down the stretch of Q4 2007 was reduced to a lonely dripping faucet in a Panera Bread men’s room a mere eight weeks later. More…

I’m not going to belabor this point because I’m going to talk about it on the radio this Tuesday. But tonight I did something very very bad. And I paid a price for it. More…

I know I’ve been pretty slack in getting these James Bond reviews done. It’s as embarrassing to me as it is disappointing to you, assuming you actually care. More…

You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Especially since so many of the writers on said shows are huge music fans who go out and ’support the scene’. More…

I know what you’re asking. I know what you’re thinking also. Partly because the movie ZAPPED was based on my life*, and partly because I am a student of human nature. More…

You said you were going to blog all the time! Then after your Thunderball review you vanish into the mist like that movie The Mist. More…

Hey everybody,

 How yez doin’? Just wanted to wish you and nem others yez might be with a Mary Chrismiss and Happy New Years.  2007 and was pretty strange for me, I gotta say.  In retrespect it wasn’t a good idea for me to go Amish. Too many rules and I don’t like not havin’ no electricoty. I mean, a man’s gotta have his ghetto blaster, right?

So, I’m back in Roxboro (Rox City!) and enjoyin’ life with Rhoda, Rhoda Jr. and little Royda.  You may have noticed I left one Roydon Ziegler the second offa that list.  I’m so mad at him right now. What kind of son takes his dad’s last Kandy Kake? Sure I did it to my dad, but these kids today are supposed to be cool! If he don’t watch it I’m gonna bed slap him (this is an old Ziegler family tradition –the parent tucks the child in bed, sings a nice song and then exacts revenge for whatever bullcrap the child did earlier that day by slapping him or her in the face exactly one minute after they fall asleep).

Anywayz –hope yez all have a *Philly-style Chrismiss!

Philly Boy Roy

*the best kind!

Am I allowed to feel winded already? I’m what, only twenty percent of the way there and my head is spinning already? Yeesh, what kind of shape will I be in around OCTOPUSSY? More…

Tonight I’m pinning all my hopes for everything I’ve ever hoped to hope about on the Don Rickles special on the Home Box Office tonight. More…

Before I get to my exciting review of Goldfinger, I need to tweak a thing or two regarding this endeavor. More…

Oh, hi all! If you’re wondering why this isn’t another James Bond review, fear not. I just watched GOLDFINGER and I’m gonna have it up sometime tomorrow. I’m gonna tear through these things like something hot that goes through something that’s easily cuttable by said hot thing. More…

I’m two movies and four hours into this James Bond movie marathon, and the only word that comes to mind is WHY. More…

Never let it be said that I’m not a man of my word. I just watched DR. NO, the first of the Bond movies. And I can say that it delivers! More…

I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I know I said I would keep posting daily… but then there was this thing called Thanksgiving that fell in the middle of the week, and it threw me off my schedule a little bit. More…

Yes, the weekend watched all my blog momentum dry up. But trust me, young people. The Blog Will Be Back. I’ll be traveling today so I might not get a chance to enter something. More…

Hey everyone! Apparently I gave my last thread a misleading title - A Little Sick But Check This Out. It made it sound like I was posting something that was a little sick, but I dared you to take a peek nonetheless. More…

Hey, all! I’m feeling kinda sick while staying here at this undisclosed location on my peacekeeping road trip. I can’t say what city I’m in on the advice of my pastor - who I am traveling with - More…

Hey, it’s Tom, now settting a world record of four posts in four days. And now I’m kinda realizing why I don’t do this more often - More…

Just go to your local DVD retailer and ask for a copy! Hahahah! Oh Tom, you kill me! And THAT is the kind of writing that The Hollywood System is going to have to live without until this strike is settled! More…

I wrote and produced a Ted Leo and the Pharmacists video back a month or so ago. And I am excited to announce that it has made it’s world premiere over at www.stereogum.com! More…

Sorry for the disappearing act, everyone. I’ve been buried underneath more work than I’ve ever had to deal with. But now that something callled ‘The Writers Strike’ has finally arrived, all of my problems and work opportunities have gone away. More…

Some of you may recall Philly Boy Roy calling into the Best Show recently to pitch Tom’s in studio guest Patton Oswalt a role in a new film called Rambocky (a combination of Rambo and Rocky). Roy’s idea was that Patton would play Gus, Rambocky’s elderly trainer.

Roy and Patton ended up reading a few pages from the Ramobocky script. Below is a link to an amazing visual depiction of the scene:

Jon is currently playing drums on a West Coast tour with the rock music band The New Pornographers. More…

Tom and Jon,

The “rock and comedy” thing has gotten so out of hand it seems I can’t open an issue of Spin, Fader or Bass Player without seeing an op-ed piece by Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Eugene Mirman or one of the guys from that sketch show I don’t like.
