    Years ago, when the cherries were sweeter and the flowers never failed to bloom, Allan Mott whored his talents to create some of the finest disposable popular paperback “nonfiction” the world has ever managed to successfully ignore.

    But those days are long past.

    Now Allan spends his time trying to craft that perfect first second novel that’ll give him the credibility he pretends not to crave--that is when he isn’t whoring it in the pursuit of the filthy lucre upon which the whole concept of “whoring” is based. In his spare time he works on this blog, which is devoted to his obsessive love of everything that truly doesn’t matter in this world. 
     
    He calls it THE HOUSE OF GLIB . 
    Enjoy.

    The Life After....

    Thursday, 28 May 2009 4:58 A GMT-07
     In a past post I described (at length) the reasons behind my firmly held belief that the IMDb is the most depressing website to be found on the internet, in so far as it serves as a cold and disheartening record of thousands of broken dreams.

    A Few Random Thoughts About An Old Movie You Haven't Seen and Don't Care About

    Saturday, 9 May 2009 8:55 A GMT-07
     One of the interesting quirks of renting movies online is that occasionally I'll get sent a movie I don't remember adding to my pick list.  This isn't because the rental company has made a mistake, but instead because it's
