Drunk Gene Shalit says, "This is one "Problem Dog" I won't be putting down."

Or maybe "If you think this episode is a "Dog," you and me have a "Problem.""

Give that shit a quick look-see HERE.

Yeah, I'm posting on a Saturday afternoon like a fucking newb but - and I don't know if you know this about me - I'm kind of a badass like that, posting whenever I damn well please and the like.

Fun and Games by Duane Swierczynski

My review Duane Swierczynski's Fun and Games is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

This is the first in a trilogy of novels by Swierczynski featuring protagonist Charlie Hardie, and if parts 2 and 3 are anywhere near as good as 1, this could be up there with Charlie Huston's Hank Thompson trilogy.

Speaking of Huston, what's that guy doing these days? Pumps out like ten books a year for five years then fuckin' radio silence for two? I'm fucking jonesin' over here, Huston!

Breaking Bad "Cornered"

My review of "Cornered," the latest episode of Breaking Bad, is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

Some good trailers tonight, including Refn's Drive and The Debt.

I'd add the Walking Dead teasers to that list but good god did that show go downhill after the pilot last season. Still gonna watch it because, you know, it's got zombies and shit but holy fuck.

Remember that scene where the sisters talk about how their dad fished with them different ways because he understood their distinct personalities? Just thinking about that freshman year writerly bullshit makes me nauseous.

Every Shallow Cut by Tom Piccirilli

My review of Tom Piccirilli's Every Shallow Cut is up at spinetingler.

Give that shit some of you precious time HERE.

It'll just take a second - scout's honor. Give it a look and then go back to doing what you were doing, which, if the Nerd had to guess from the looks of you, was looking at funny-faced kitties jump into boxes.

Loved when Jesse made the keys knucks with his fist in the car. The move of every impotent asshole when they feel shit might go down any minute.

So Jesse's hair "broke bad" this week finally. Think Vince Gilligan's ever gonna shave his head so he looks Walt (or Jesse or Hank or Mike)?

The Shield creator Shawn Ryan was such a big fan of the exposed pate that he and his main character, Vic Mackey, both Bic'd it daily.

Just sayin'.

Guilty Pleasures - Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

So there's been a big self-promotional push on AMC for their airing of "mob movies" like Scarface, The Godfather, Goodfellas, etc., said movies being "hosted" by Rudy Guiliani.

So not only are you watching classic movies with commercials and without swears, sex and violence, but you gotta listen to that punchable-faced prick as well? Good luck with that, AMC.
