There are two ways to interpret the phrase “celebrity Halloween costume.” You could be dressing up as a celebrity, or you could be copying a celebrity’s costume. Either plan is kind of lame, but if you’re going to do 
it, then you might as well do it right. So let me give you some pointers, okay?

So, EA announced a big quarterly loss. That’s not big news by itself since the nature of the game industry means investments in big multi-year projects that don’t always pay out steadily. The big news is that they decided to lay off 600 people, or 6% of their workforce.
That’s important because the video game industry is frequently thought of as, if not immune to recessions, at least highly resistant to them.

As you (should) know, Bond 22, Quantum of Solace, is coming out this November 14th. In honor of this momentous occasion, I have decided to spend a little time each week digging into my James Bond DVD 
collection and talking about the best and worst of the series up until now. I also like to compare the movies to the source material, when it exists. I find all of this very entertaining, but if you don’t, the scroll button is still right over there. >>>>>
You know, I am sick and tired of having to defend A View to a Kill. Here’s the reality of it: it’s an enjoyable film, not quite as weird as the rest of the Moore canon, and May Day is a good character. I had the same “WTF?” reaction as anyone might when I first saw her, but by the end of the film, I kind of liked her. She scared me, but I liked her.

It’s the first original Michael Bay production from Platinum Dunes, and it’s a dark sign already.
And no, that’s not my barely-repressed “Bash Bay” instinct expressing itself–that’s my “have you seen what they’re using for a poster”? instinct.

The most important thing to be, in politics, is consistent.
Because if you aren’t consistent, they will find out. Claim you’re going to cut taxes, and they’ll find a time 
when you voted to raise taxes. Come out in favor of nuclear power, and they’ll make it public that you said “nay” to a bill that included this issue. Sell yourself however you want, but for God’s sake, make sure you always sell yourself the same way every time.
Barack Obama has done an exemplary job of selling himself consistently. From the beginning, his rallying cry was “CHANGE!” And that, ironically enough, has not changed. He has portrayed himself as an ordinary man in the extraordinary position of helping us all out, giving us the change we need to make the government truly represent us. No matter what has been leveled against him, Obama hasn’t lost his down-to-earth, common sense way of communicating.
