I am Taryn. I am a huge film geek, but not just for any films. I prefer the kinds of movies that most people would deem worthless. If it's in bad taste, gory, politically incorrect, offensive or just really bizarre, it is likely that it is on my favorite films list. With a Bachelor's in Sociology from Michigan State University, majoring in how the media effects our perceptions, and a trade certificate from The Motion Picture Institute of Michigan, I have made music, TV and movies my passion. But film is definitely my favorite medium. It is my dream to one day make a few movies of my own. I'm also a big geek for environmental issues, animal welfare and equal rights. So I'll give you movie reviews and the occasional socially conscious shout out. Please share your thoughts, good or bad, at tas75@comcast.net

Art Hates You
( 140 items )
Whether you've just discovered
me or you’ve been reading my column for years, you probably don’t agree with most of the words coming out of my mouth. Great news. I don’t care! Don’t
expect me to sit here and fawn over the latest Paris Hilton arrest or Lindsay
Lohan's rehab stint, because you’re not gonna find it here. You want news
about Hannah Montana or High School Musical, go watch the Disney Channel. And
if you think I am gonna talk about American Idol or Grey's Anatomy, please
just stop reading now. Expect good, hard hitting music insight and information
about the music world and the world around it, not people that are famous for
nothing. And if I do start ranting about that, either email me at
arthatesyou@detroitbuzz.com,
or stop reading.

Mitch Emerson... A regular Movie Guy
( 48 items )
 Mitch Emerson, a member of the I.F.C.S., (Internet Film Critic
Society) is a 32 year old movie buff who does not consider himself a critic,
just a regular dude who likes to sit on the couch and watch a movie. He
geeks out over the latest Superhero and Sci-Fi flicks like everybody else.
He tries to write reviews in plain English so everybody can enjoy them.
There isn't much exploration of the human psyche as seen through the eyes of
a mosquito in his reviews. And very seldom does he ever go much deeper than
whether or not he enjoyed the flick. He believes that movies should
entertain you while occasionally making you think. He doesn't like to list
his favorite movies here because he doesn't want you, the reader, to be
influenced by his tastes. Some people like mushrooms, he doesn't, but he
won't make fun of you if you do. If you want to know more, take a look at
his MySpace profile. or email him at MitchEmerson@hotmail.com

Stranger In A Strange Land
( 11 items )
Steve-O is your everyday Joe Schmoe with the audacity to actually have an opinion. I am Steve-O, you are “Dear Reader”, or whatever else I call you that day, this is our relationship. Like the great Earnest Hemmingway, I don’t really bother to bother. I say what’s on my mind, never hit spell check, seldom do my homework, am often irreverent, believe no subject is off limits, and I do not worship the written medium but instead use it to facilitate my own evil genius. I have been accused of being a conservative, an extremist, a religious freak, an apostate, a troublemaker and an idiot to which I proudly and wholeheartedly embrace with a hearty “YEP” to all charges.
File complaints or just send me a dollar to Donthurtmuch@yahoo.com.
