The trailer for Grindhouse, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s new b-movie extravaganza, looks great! I can’t wait to see Kurt Russel return to his John Carpenter roots and since Planet Terror is a zombie flick, how can I resist?

How come nobody told me that Brian K. Vaughan (Runaways, Ex Machina, Lost, etc.) has a blog? More to the point, how come nobody has told him how screwed up his rss/atom feed is?

Bre tagged me with this many days ago. I’m a bad blogger. So, without further ado, here are five things you didn’t know about me:
