Usually Myspace is pretty stupid. Sure I'm on it, but whatever. (Look, practically everyone uses it. Hell, Satan has several hundred pages)I mostly use it to listen to fresh new music, read enjoyable blog entries and/or to have fake women solicit me for weird sex I'll never have (it is good for my ego, though. Ripping off Clerks II for that joke was not).Anyway!So I made this cool new "friend"

This movie is pretty much the hottest thing going. It starts Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, Toni Colette and Steve Carell. Nine-year-old Abigail Breslin supposedly steals the show. The basic, quick glance idea of the movie is that it's a family driving cross country to get their daughter (Breslin) into a beauty pageant. I hear it can be pretty emotional and life-affirming. So this isn't just some

Watching Cleveland Indians baseball this season is rough. Going to a live game can be excrutiating. The team is awful with only a few mild flashes of brilliance (that sports cliche was brought to you by any television sports commentator, lords of the overuse). One of those notables is young pitcher Jeremy Sowers. So, when my old pal Miles asked if I wanted to catch a Sowers-pitched game Friday, I

Heath Ledger, he of Brokeback Mountain fame, has been tabbed as the Joker in the next Batman movie. I'm indifferent about the pick. Ledger isn't that awful, right? Seriously, who else is realistically a better pick? Besides, check out Ledger in Ten Things I Hate About You, he practically looks like the Joker without makeup on:

Here is why you shouldn't like Korn (like you needed another reason): Their fans are crazy. The band headlined an Atlanta show recently. I'm sure the usual took place. Bad music? Check! Dirty fans? Check! Lots of alcohol and drug abuse? Check! Bad music? Double check! Mosh pit craziness? Check!I'm sure you're down with mosh pit craziness.

I'd love to see them play the Akron Civic sometime. If Beck and the Flaming Lips can play the Palace Theatre, certainly the Keys could do the Civic. Not that I'd probably be

I'm totally pumped about the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie out next summer. Dig the sweet trailer. I just looks like it's going to be done the right way, unlike that live-action Turtles show from a few years ago.Word is that the movie will have Casey Jones, so that kind of stinks. But I have the highest hope overall. With any hope, they'll get as much of the original cartoon voices to do

The perils of Hollywood celebrity never cease to make me laugh. Mike Rasor, Zips blogger and sports internist at the Indy Star, passed a story along and it gave me a huge chuckle.It seems schlock actor Colin Farrell has a stalker. Given the fact that Farrell has seemingly slept with any woman that will allow it, it's no surprise. Actually, the biggest surprise is that this hasn't happened

Seeing as how the year is a bit past the halfway point, this post is my list of favorite new music of the year. I never say it's the best music because, quite frankly, I don't listen to everything and never consider what I play better than what someone else might.

A decade or so ago, I bought the thick, Bible-like All Music Guide to Rock on the cheap at a Kent State University bookstore. It will forever be the greatest piece of bathroom reading. There's so much to it, so many profiles and album reviews. Well, as a young Danny K., one writer stood out as writing reviews of several of the best albums of all time. That writer was Stephen Thomas Erlewine, who

Syd Barrett, founder of Pink Floyd kicked the bucket. You know, I really thought he died a decade ago. They're not releasing the cause of the death, but I'll be very letdown if it has nothing to do with LSD. Yes, I know you can't overdose on LSD, but I hope he found a way how.Lindsay Lohan celebrated her 20th birthday recently. Whoopity doo, right? It turns out Life & Style sponsored the event

Pee-Wee's Playhouse comes back to television July 11. The show will air at 11 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays on Adult Swim, the late night programming block on Cartoon Network. The station bought the rights to air all 45 of the original episodes and Pee-Wee's Christmas special. I can't wait to watch the show, it was one of my favorites in the olden days. Though it did give me nightmares. Yeah, I

The below video is a weird trailer for Al Gore's slideshow-driven movie, An Inconvenient Truth.I don't care if you want to see the movie. Heck, I know I don't. It seems boring. What's neat is the trailer is a cartoon, featuring Bender the drunk robot from Futurama. This is especially neat because word is that new episodes of Futurama are in the works for 2008. Hooray!

Earlier tonight the finale of Super Group aired. If you're not familiar, the VH1 show smashed together five rock stars to form a group named Damnocracy. The group consisted of Ted Nugent, Sebastian Bach, Jason Bonham, Scott Ian and Evan Seinfeld. Who is Evan Seinfeld?

Right now, I'm watching Cinderella Man, the critically acclaimed, barely watched 2005 boxing flick. As I type this, its the climax of the movie with underdog Jim Braddock taking on unstoppable champ Max Baer.I'm not sure what the real bout was like, or the lead up to it, but its pretty entertaining. If Baer is anything in real life like in the movie, he's a real dick. But, I guess a boxer should

Being the geek I am, I caught Superman Returns last Wednesday. It was a pretty good movie. It's nothing amazing, but nothing awful. It goes a little long and Lex Luthor's evil plan is kind of questionable, but that's OK.

One of the absolute best bands around, Sleater-Kinney, has decided to call it a career after it completes a short summer tour.An announcement was made on the band's Web site. "The upcoming summer shows will be our last," it read. "As of now, there are no plans for future tours or recordings." Of course it's being referred to as a "break," but we all know what that means.This is a real bummer.

Your friendly neighborhood blogger just found the teaser trailer for Spider-Man 3. Dig it. Make sure to watch it soon because I doubt it'll be up long (that's what she said?).It looks like a projectionist at a theater got a copy of it and put it together to show.

I like Sonic Youth. I also like the Go! Team. One defines noise rock. The other, spastic quirk rock. What happens when you combine the two? Find out in the Team's cover of Sonic Youth's Bull in the Heather.In other Myspace music to listen to news, make sure to give Man Man a listen. It's kind of like hearing Tom Waits fronting a weird art rock band. Dig it.

Hell, even his comic book writing is bad.Anyway, he has a new movie out this year, Clerks 2. I’m pretty sure there’s no way this movie won’t be bad.

Rolling Stone has started a blog. Way to finally get with it, RS. Sadly, and predictably, it’s not very good. I mean, not as good as this at least. Among its bloggers is super music reporter David Fricke. Weird. Of course he writes about something happening at CBGB. What a stretch.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are scouting for future prospects. That’s right, just days after emptying her womb to expand her stable of kids to three, Jolie and her lips want more.

I swear, this will rarely happen in the future, but there are some governmental issues I can’t leave alone. On Wednesday evening, the Senate squashed the idea of raising minimum wage for the first time since 1997 by a vote of 52-46 (60 votes are needed to pass). Sen. Edward M.

Seeing as how I can't leave a list alone, I spent some time reading through this one.The 'Forkers decided to include only MTV-era music and not include the work of the guys on Director's Label. What is Director's Label? It includes Anton Corbijn (he of “Liar” by Henry Rollins and “Heart Shaped

Keane has a new album, Under the Iron Sea . Don't bother with it because it sucks.

As some of you may know, area favorites the Black Keys are currently out with Radiohead opening a few dates in Chicago, New York and, I think, Philadelphia. In a roundabout way, this got me way interested in Radiohead again. I love Radiohead, but the group hasn’t done much since Hail to the Thief.Tooling around youtube.com for old Radiohead videos, I ran across this one. It’s the first

All is well again on youtube.com. I was scared. So scared. Apparently they were just updating their servers.

It appears that my favorite site, youtube.com has been hijacked. This is a very sad moment in my life. I mean, where am I going to go for pointless videos of junk I forgot about in the first place? Google video? Bah!Tonight (Thursday, 6-1), there was an Office mini-marathon on NBC. Only one thing could have drug me away from the Skranton crew. What is it you ask? Beers.If you've seen every

At the movies: Don’t see X:Men The Last Stand. It was not good. The best part, except the useless profanity, is below.Instead of seeing X3, check out The Break-Up when it opens Friday. Call it lame, but I love romantic comedies. The same affection goes toward Vince Vaughn. Marry the two and I’m happy.What to hear: Tapes & Tapes at the Grog Shop Saturday night. Show starts at 9 p.m. and is $10. No

If I have one love in life, it is probably youtube.com. The below video is the perfect reason why. The audio doesn't sync up that well with the video, but it's worth it. Anyone who is from NE Ohio should think twice about using a library computer. Make sure to watch until the end because that's when it gets good.More frequent updates coming soon. A lot going on in June, so watch out. Real quick,

I apologize for the title. If any nerd like me on the computer does something with a two in the title, it immediately becomes Electric Boogaloo. The name Electric Boogaloo comes from the movie Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. That's right, the movie about people breakdancing to prevent their community from being bulldozed. Oh, the power of dance. I think I'll see what a samba can do for me

Oh, I forgot to mention the pre-show ads before seeing Mission Impossible III. Normally these just get on my nerves but a pair really made me laugh. The first was some camera commercial starring Kate Moss. It was followed up by a Coke commercial. Absolutely perfect.Tonight is the season finale of The Office. I haven't watched a television show that I've cared about as much as this one in a long

Laura, aka Miss Modern Age pointed out that the new Apple ad is pretty harsh. I agree. In fact, it's kind of sad. Dear David Blaine, thanks for wasting my time.. What's worse is that I had a much longer post about this but accidentally deleted it.

Any Akronites should try to head out to Northside Wedensday night. It's next to Luigi's. That night, there will be a show to benefit leukemia patients.

However much you feel like to donate at the door.

I went to check out the newest Mission Impossible Saturday night. Why? Because sometimes you just need a big, dumb, thoughtless, action-filled summer movie.The movie definetily wasn't anything special. In fact, the action was slightly worse than that in Mission Impossible II.What made it better was Philip (one L, kiddies) Seymour Hoffman. He made what should have been a cookie cutter character

This is my last print version of "Rants & Raves" for the University of Akron student paper, the Buchtelite. My tenure as Editor in Chief has expired. It's kind of sad, I guess. Oh well, it just means more for you here online.-------------It was fitting that when I sat down to write this I got word that the Black Keys have been booked to open two June Madison Square Garden shows for

Tonight was the opening night of the Rob Lucas-curated Akron Independent Film and Video Festival.The opening movie was Lucas' American Stories, a flick he's been working on since 2002. Basically, the movie is broken down into four stories told by a rock band on the road. Each of the four parts had funny moments.Lucas said the movie will be out on DVD in about six months.The film festival runs

Here is my column for tomorrow's newspaper.Welcome to the last standard edition of “Rants and Raves.” Next week’s column will be a tear-inducing wrap up. It will cover my favorite and least favorite things during the past 100 or so print columns.

Welcome to the online home to "Rants & Raves," the column I started at the University of Akron student paper, the Buchtelite. The column started in 2002 while I was the arts editor of the paper. Since then, I've written it once a week for somewhere around 100 weeks. For those of you who don't know, the column at the Buchtelite was about popular culture, locally and nationally. Basically anything
