Eileen: This is Your Brain On…
Worlds of Lamer: When Nintendo Wrote Books and Spandex Wasn’t Ironic
Is good literature dead? Yes. That’s why this column is so successful (I have two loyal readers I don’t even have to PAY). I like to think this is the place where one can focus on the shitty books of now (or then) that would make Wharton cry elegantly or cause Poe to have a [...]
Wuthering Heights: Again.
Way back when Defenestration was still a babe, I reviewed MTV’s Wuthering Heights. It was hilarious and awful, and I foolishly thought that it would be the nail in the “Let’s Adapt Wuthering Heights for the Billionth Time,” coffin. I was wrong. A few months ago another Wuthering Heights adaptation premiered on Masterpiece Theatre. I [...]
Riverpants: Leap Year, Reviewed
Dear Ireland, I am sorry. I am sorry that so many people these days claim they are Irish—on their great-great-grandmother’s side. Frankly, that’s annoying. But most of all I am sorry after so many many years, American films still portray you as a backwoods buffoon full of leprechauns who gnaw on cornbeef and chug Shamrock [...]
The Adventures of Porny Bear
Recently I have been reading Pamela Paula’s Pornified, a book that argues that heterosexual porn is destroying friendships, family and male to female relationships. Paul writes that straight men who watch pornography lose interest and a ability to connect emotionally and physically with their female partners. An intriguing concept. And if Paula’s argument were [...]

But I really need the acquittal!* ———- Frequent target of fallen angels, Eileen hides from their seductive wrath in the hallowed confines of Defenestration HQ, where she [...]
A Love Letter to Phil Collins
Dear Phil Collins, You are a god. Which makes sense because you were in a band called Genesis. I bet you planned it that way, you saucy minx. Phil, you need to know how much you’ve been an integral part of my life. “Another Day in Paradise,” “True Colors,” “Against All Odds,” “A Groovy Kind [...]
Anime: It’s Japanese for ‘Boobies’ Part Two
After attempting to burn off my retinas after my recent bout of bad anime, I decided I would just have to suck it up and continue on my journey. Or buy more lighter fluid. Ninja Scroll Made in 1993, Ninja Scroll is about ninjas, but the scroll, like good taste, never makes an appearance. To [...]
Anime: It’s Japanese for ‘Boobies’ Part One in a Two-Part Series
Recently a reader asked me why my columns lean towards bitter diatribes on books. To which I replied, “Shut the hell up and make me more pie!” But my mother had a point. Maybe I needed a vacation from reading crap. She certainly needed to make me more pie. So why not freshen up my [...]
