One of the joys of the 2010 SXSW Film Festival for me was sitting down with Bob Mould of Hüsker Dü and Sugar fame for an interview. Bob was in town promoting Bear Nation, Malcolm Ingram’s latest documentary, which is great, by the way. Check out the links below for my interview with Bob and the review of Bear Nation. More to come!

Oh indeed, the fun continues with one of my personal favorites this week, Man on a Mission, featuring Richard Garriott. This is a gem for any one that digs space travel. Not sure what kind of distribution this film will get, but I hope you have a chance to see it. Stay tuned for more at the SXSW Film Festival! See link below for review.

Hey Gang,
The SXSW Film Festival is in full swing, and I’ve got many wonderful reviews coming your way. This year I have a major hankerin’ for documentaries, but our post today is a review of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This is a fantastic Swedish film adapted from Stieg Larsson’s gripping novel of the same name. See below for the link and enjoy!

Kudos to my son for a great treasure map, and for stating the obvious, just in case someone finds this thing in a time capsule 50 years from now.

I don’t know about you guys, but when Iceland’s football team gets beaten by the Faroe Islands, I get a little jumpy. Seriously, when you let that header by Fródi Benjaminsen go by, I lost all faith in Icelandic sports. It’s the Faroe Islands guys. They’re so lazy, they have grass growing on the roofs of their houses.
I would have to agree with Iceland’s coach Ólafur Jóhannesson, when he said, “they lacked interest in the first half.”
So fellas, take one from the coach and stop lacking interest and get out there and play some damn football, ok? I know your economy is completely in the shitter (seriously, this country is broke), but go soak in a hot spring, listen to some Sugarcubes, gaze upon a fjord, whatever, just get it together!
I’ll expect more when you guys go up against Saudi Arabia, unless it’s an away game, then you’re toast…..literally.
For more see below. Geezus, I’m bummed.
