Green Room

A touring low cash punk band is desperate for some money after a cancelled gig so they agree to do a show for some (ulp) white supremacists. That's a bad move in my opinion, though they do lead off their show with a cover of "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" which is bitchin. They do their show and are about to leave until they witness a murder, and wind up having to fight their way out. It's from the director of Blue Ruin, so you can imaging it's pretty brutal.

Happy 10th R3 Halloween!

Star Trek - "Patterns of Force"

An idiot Federation historian has installed a Nazi government on a planet because of how efficient the Nazis were. Not so sure about that efficiency thing but I guess if some imaginary historian in a sci-fi show says it then it must be true?

RATING: 33%

Enterprise S4E1/2 - "Storm Front"

The Enterprise winds up fighting Nazis in Brooklyn during an alternate WW2 in a two part episode that is just so silly and fun like the best of TOS.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a crime novel by Stieg Larsson, you may have heard of it. I don't read a lot of crime novels or mysteries or thrillers, so I might not have been the target audience for this book, but I read it anyway. It seemed to me that The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was reaching Da Vinci Code levels of literary hype, so I thought I should just go ahead and read it so I wouldn't feel out of touch when I heard people talking about it. At around 800 pages or so, it made for great airport reading. Was it any good? I guess so. It was full of murders and journalists, Nazis and hackers, corporate crimes and casual sex. So, I mean, if that's the kind of stuff you look for in a book, then, you know, you'd probably like it.

Collections

A collection is a group of things that you might get over time by either buying, stealing, or holding on to (mostly) useless things. Collections can be cool, like my collection of miniature Star Trek ships or comics, or they can be kind of sad, like my collection of state quarters or bottle caps. A collection may also be used to judge a person's character, like if a dude has a collection of comic books he is probably a pretty cool dude, but if he has a collection of Nazi memorabilia then he is probably a Nazi or murderer or both. In conclusion, I also have a collection of rejection letters, a collection of Dia De Los Muertos figures, and a hefty collection of reviews on this very website that nobody reads.
