[Food Review] Kellogg’s Keebler Cookie Crunch Cereal

keeblercookiecrunchOverview:

Elves are like midgets. Happy, giddy little midgets that prance around in pointy clogs giving away the most awesome of things. Presents, cookies, kicks in the shin, nothing is better than a miniature person that gives you free things. And they obviously make great slaves, too, as the fully-grown people over at Kellogg’s marched their long legs over to the Keebler HQ and used their intimidating height to bully the dwarfed little elves into making a cookie-themed cereal to be marketed to obese American children all across the country.

And I’m sure the fat little bastards are eating this crap up.

[The Everyview Update] 9/20/09

Hey there everyone! Not really anything to talk about in terms of updates at the moment. Our Spot On Contest ends tomorrow, so if you haven’t entered the go ahead and do it now. It’s not turning out as hot as anticipated despite the lure of free stuff.

I will tell you that Andrew and I are going to work on bringing lots of video game reviews to the plate, and Casual Clay will continue to be casual. I’ve also got plans to start reviewing bicycle accessories if anyone’s interested in that sort of thing. Anyway, on to the Weekly Awards!

[New Contributor] Casual Clay Cunningham

I should start by clarifying I am not an entirely new member of Team Everyview, as I still share the birth name, body, irritable bowels and discolored teeth with the Clay Cunningham who’s been writing here for nearly a year.

The change is more about my approach. The other day, Everyview’s CEO (Casual Executive Officer) Zac Pritcher told me I made my reviews “too much of an event” and if I were more casual with my writing I would “experience a treasure chest of earthly delights so vast and wondrous, the lord Jesus Christ himself couldn’t improve upon them. ” These words inspired me in such a way I am proud to announce they gave me a full-blown personality transformation.

[Retro Review] New Radicals “Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too”

newradicalsmaybeyouvebeenbrainwashedtooLet’s face it. There are always going to be bands who hit the airwaves with a catchy tune, and then fade as if they never existed in the first place. These types of acts are a dime for twelve (is that how it goes?)

In the mid to late 90s, there were a shocking amount of these bands on radio stations all over the nation. Every week, it seemed, there was another catchy tune, only to be replaced by two more the next week. The airwaves were literally jam packed with tunes that were fun, harmless, and actually, pretty damn good. Continue reading

[TV Review] The Office: Season Six Premier

the officeOpening Statement:

“The Office,” the once great American remake of the former great British series of the same name, has been spinning its wheels a bit over the past couple seasons, leading to a very noticeable dip in hilarity. If last nights season six premier is any indication, an up-kick in said hilarity may be a ways away. Continue reading

[Music Review] The Decemberists “The Hazards of Love”

the_decemberists_-_the_hazards_of_loveOpening:

The Decemberists, yet another of my more recent musical discoveries, released “The Hazards of Love” earlier this year, and having just been turned on to them, I just checked it out. “Wow” is the quickest way to describe this album.

There aren’t a ton of young bands out there who could produce a concept album like this and have it not suck. Listening to it the first time around, I was completely blown away by the structure of the album. It’s not just a collection of songs, it’s actually written in such a way that there is a story within the album. This is Pink Floyd kind of shit, and to say The Decemberists have hit a home run here would be an understatement. There isn’t a hit in baseball that describes this album.

[Mobile Game Review] Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution (iPhone)

Overview:

civrevAt first I was a little hesitant to buy this game because I have unfortunately never played a Civilization game. I didn’t know if I would be able to get into it or not because I have a problem with turn-based strategy games like that. However, after I tinkered around for a while and got used to it, I started to understand the game’s mechanics and how to play it effectively. Continue reading

[DVD Review] Stella:Live in Boston

stellaOverview:

Stella, the cheerfully dorky, suit wearing comedy trio of Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter and David Wain, are an offshoot of the former MTV comedy group The State. They have been performing in various mediums for the past decade, including short films and a short-lived Comedy Central series.

The troupe has also earned a cult following for their irreverent stage show, a show which was captured, and placed onto a digital video disc (DVD) entitled  “Stella: Live in Boston” which hit stores this week. Is it worth your time? Continue reading
