Dave’s not here man

January 26th, 2010

His new e-domicile is here. Same good writing but now with a spiffier layout.

Dave’s view? Fabulous effects, pedestrian story.
Fed Reb thought its politics reflected reality. Except for the ending.
Eric says it’s fun to see but has no kind words for the actors or the script.

Dave would stifle a tear

March 24th, 2009

Movie Reviews: Brick and Primer

March 19th, 2009

Refrigerated fakery

January 26th, 2009

What do you call it when you have a group of musicians pretend to play music while recorded music is played and you don’t mention to anyone its a recording? Disappointing.

Inauguration thoughts

Lori, along with the Eagle newsroom, watched the swearing in of our 44th president.
Jamie covered a local inauguration watch party that offered a fun photo-op for the participants.
In Medias Res watched the ceremony at the student center at Friends University and had thoughts on the prayer, the muffed oath and the speech.
Kevin posts pictures of [...]

Dave is on a curmudgeonly roll

January 20th, 2009

First he goes after himself, but not too harshly, for being an American Idol fan.
Bush’s farewell speech? Not on his DVR.
Standing ovations for every performance? He’s not getting up unless it’s really, really good.
Then there’s the word-axe he takes to the inauguration celebration.
Douglas and Main subscribes to the Dave Knadler school of reality therapy. Plus, [...]

January 14th, 2009

Mike thinks you didn’t miss much, “Some quick thoughts on the snoozefest known as the Golden Globes.”
Dave, watched the acceptance speeches and found a spiritual lesson, “Makes us thank the Lord for writers.”

Love, hate and the movies

January 9th, 2009

Go to a theater and enjoy the big screen, excellent sound, phone conversations and half the people in theater flipping open brightly lit screens. This is why Dave rarely leaves the warehouse to see a movie and is behind on seeing the Oscar contenders for 2008. But the Oscar party will go on.

Dave’s pick six

January 7th, 2009

End of the year lists get special attention from Dave. The kind of “special” attention one gets when they put mayonnaise on their fries.

Movie Review: Ghost Town

January 5th, 2009

Dave liked the movie but wants to know why you haven’t seen it.
The Joe Bob Briggs reference alone gets this post the D&M seal of approval.

A review of W

A christmas wish for Dave

October 16th, 2008

It’s a Mattel product and it speaks. Listen up dhimmi.

San Francisco’s newest attraction

October 14th, 2008

Dave is concerned about poor construction. We are concerned about the rise in sales of “I survived the jump” t-shirts.

High praise indeed

September 13th, 2008

Sly reference to sainted Joe Bob Briggs is duly noted.

Authentic sounding fiction

September 12th, 2008

Dave has come to embrace the audio book as part of his repertoire. A proper English accent for British books seals the deal.

Audiophile or Audiophobic?

August 24th, 2008

What do you think about audiobooks? Dave’s experience with them has not been positive so far.

Dave goes metaphysical

August 20th, 2008

He asserts a fundamental Truth that “remains as constant as the stars”.
It involves rednecks.

Without a Clue

August 16th, 2008

Dave Knadler has concerns. How can you accurately present “pretend homicide” in America and exclude guns? Hasbro pulls up lame.
But then he makes us wonder when he claims the iron as his favorite Monopoly piece. The iron? Really? Over the race car and the cannon?

August 14th, 2008

If this post had a soundtrack

August 8th, 2008

If you can reach your music producing machine of choice and punch up Wild Montana Skies (John Denver with the wonderful Emmylou Harris) it will enhance your enjoyment as you read Dave Knadler’s account (with pictures) of his recent trip to Montana and his flight over the state in a motor glider.
On second thought perhaps [...]
