Capt. Ahab's Shanty: December 2009
http://ahabslanding.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 2, 2009. That’s right, I’m taking one for the home team. From here on out, I will be critiquing Stephenie Meyer’s teen vampire, disturbingly obsessive, love story (I may have to take a few breaks and read the dictionary to stop the screaming in my head). Let the games begin. Hang on, I need to pause for pie. PUMPKIN PIE. So, as I was saying, this is essentially a trashy romance novel for teens (despite the thirty to forty year old women I see walking around wearing Twilight. To be fai...

Capt. Ahab's Shanty: August 2009
http://ahabslanding.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 19, 2009. Where the Editor totally loses it, and shakes her cane at all them young 'uns who don't know what they're missin'. WARNING: This post will be photo-heavy, probably with a fair amount of cursing, and the soapbox will be at least six feet high. As a disclaimer, I am by no means an expert. I am merely a self-righteous appreciator of the art of animation who knows better than the people in charge of animation today. And guess what? I'm gonna tell you ALL ABOUT IT. Christ, today's ...

Capt. Ahab's Shanty: I guess we'll keep doing this 'til I get sick of it (never) or you get sick of it (more plausible)
http://ahabslanding.blogspot.com/2011/07/i-guess-well-keep-doing-this-til-i-get.html
Saturday, July 30, 2011. I guess we'll keep doing this 'til I get sick of it (never) or you get sick of it (more plausible). Though I am covered in mosquito bites and itching like mad, I am trying to corral my attention long enough to bring you more of my favorite characters from some of my favorite movies. Though honestly, I could use a beer. And a lot of calamine lotion. Oh, how I suffer for my "art.". Allison Janney as "Loretta" in Drop Dead Gorgeous. Loretta, never have kids. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Capt. Ahab's Shanty: September 2009
http://ahabslanding.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 13, 2009. Disney, for serious. An Open Letter to the Heads of Disney:. You and me have had some good times. You've made me laugh, you've made me cry, and you've touched me, right here, in my blood pumpy chambers. Quite a bit of my childhood memories are tied to you Disney, to evenings cuddled with me mam, watching the Disney movie of the week, going to the tiny video rental between the hair stylists and Roses to get Sleeping Beauty. Disney, you have become that crusty old dragon, mutter...

Capt. Ahab's Shanty: November 2009
http://ahabslanding.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 18, 2009. An Idiot Savant in Desperate Need of a Good Meal. There are only a handful of musical artists who's entire catalogue I can listen to and go, "Oh man, this is pretty much all so good, not even a strategically placed chocolate truffle could distract me from listening to these rockin' beats." One of the precious few happens to be this lovely young man, Andrew Bird. Know what else I love? If you need a bit more convincing, that's fine. You apparently don't appreciate my expe...

Capt. Ahab's Shanty: Why? I dunno, nothing better to do?
http://ahabslanding.blogspot.com/2011/03/why-i-dunno-nothing-better-to-do.html
Monday, March 7, 2011. I dunno, nothing better to do? A while back Patton Oswalt, funny-man and hobbit, had a list of his hundred favorite movie moments. Of course, there are lots of obscure film-lovers kind of films on there, but the idea was intriguing. I tried to make my own list, and realized I was a consummate failure at all things planned and organized, so I thought maybe I'd take a different horse track altogether (but not really). Peter Falk's "Grandpa" in. Has it got any sports in it? Rik Mayall...

Monday, January 14, 2013. A Preamble to a Very Long List Indeed. As you set off into the great wide yonder over there, I set before you a task. There’s no hurry, and I would never judge you for not completing it. However, if this task should never be started or end up in the garbage, OH I WILL JUDGE YOU SO HARD. Yours in eternal servitude,. Directed by Clyde Bruckman and Buster Keaton. Buster Keaton. Ladies, ladies, ladies! Worship at the altar of the Marx Brothers, the thinking man’s Three Stooges...

Capt. Ahab's Shanty: Because I need a URL for this picture
http://ahabslanding.blogspot.com/2013/09/because-i-need-url-for-this-picture.html
Sunday, September 1, 2013. Because I need a URL for this picture. But I do look pretty cute. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). ASHEVEGAS, Y'ALL, North Cackalacky. I'm chock full of opinions and wish to shove them down your throat, like a harpoon into the blubberous side of Moby Dick. Besides, I must write, or my English degree will have been for naught. Editor's note: I don't think I've ever actually read Moby Dick. View my complete profile. A place where I say offensive things, sometimes.

Capt. Ahab's Shanty: March 2011
http://ahabslanding.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Forgive me if this post is a little wiggy, I'm kind of punchy from lack of food. But more fun-filled characters from your favorite films and mine. M-O has finished cleaning a severely damaged WALL-E, who strains to give a handshake] WALL-E. M-O scrubs WALL-E's hand, then shakes it] M-O. M-O reverts to his box form]. Teensy weensy George Clooney? You see that I'm right. Officer Slater" (Bill Hader) and "Officer Michaels" (Seth Rogen) in Superbad. What's it like to have a gun?
