My brain is crammed full of movie trivia. I upgraded to digital cable to get even more obscure 80s cheese on VH1 Classic. And much to my husband's chagrin, I can't stay away from Fametracker. One day we signed up for Netflix. And soon afterward, we got a TiVo. There was no going back. I already had my journal to talk about myself. And I've got my weblog to talk about nothing. Now the Pith of Pop is the place for my biased, often brief, and sometimes wholly baseless opinions about movies, music, television, books, and any other media... infomercial gadgets, too, if the mood strikes. As always, Your Mileage May Vary.    Death Proof 2007. Directed by Quentin Tarantino. Starring Kurt Russell, Sydney Poitier, Rosario Dawson and Vanessa Ferlito.  MORE >> Posted to Movies at 10:21 AM on Oct 14, 2007 | 0 Comments  The Sopranos It's a good thing that Lost is on a big, long extended hiatus, because I don't think I have enough time in my life to be addicted to two shows at once.   MORE >> Posted to Teevee at 08:01 PM on Jun 30, 2007 | 0 Comments  Ocean's Thirteen 2007.
