The danger of trying to be happy when you’re fat
| 6:00 am | 26 Comments
By Clinton Hallahan Living obese is like a couple of ambulances screeching by, sirens on fire. Those ambulances don’t affect you presently, but knowing that their rush is to tend to multiple casualties brings that passive foreboding, that palpable feeling that something has gone quite wrong. Like any prolonged health problem, the foreboding doesn’t really catch up more...
Review: The Grey
| 12:01 am | 0 Comment
By Clinton Hallahan Photo courtesy of Liddell Entertainment Buoyed by a skilled director and strong cast, The Grey rises above its boring premise Banking heavily on the new Liam Neeson in a constant state of ass-kicking, The Grey is the latest imperfect Joe Carnahan effort I have no choice but to go to bat for. A film centrally concerned with Neeson beating up more...
It’s Tebow Time!
| 12:00 am | 0 CommentBy Adam Ovenell-Carter and Clinton Hallahan Tim Tebow is incredible. But is it for his story, or for his play? Those of us who know better would say the former, but some, as you’ll see, are sold on Tebow’s game. Clinton Hallahan: It’s odd that detractors will give breathless adulations to rare ‘clutch’ plays but ignore the clutch life of more...
Settlement salvation
| 8:00 am | 0 CommentBy Clinton Hallahan Now that the bickering is done and the SFSS is really, really sorry they used their own referendum rules and not those of the Canadian Federation of Students, there is the prickly little issue of a giant lump of money just sitting in a bank account waiting to make our SFSS dreams come true. A primer for those with lives: the Simon Fraser Student more...
A contract with God
| 3:54 pm | 0 CommentBy Clinton Hallahan On a continent where some of the most popular shows are about a dying drug dealer forced by desperation into life of crime or the worst people in the world running the worst bar in the world, or a competition to be alone and rich on an island somewhere, it’s understandable that we’re a bit cynical. Indeed, it’s no wonder that in the more...
Football Frenzy
| 12:00 am | 0 CommentBy Adam Ovenell-Carter and Clinton Hallahan Feel free to chime in as The Peak’s two most handsome editors pool their pigskin wits on some of the hot topics in the NFL. 1. Who wins the NFC North: Green Bay Packers or Detroit Lions? Adam: I’d love to play devil’s advocate and go with the Detroit Lions, but let’s be honest: the Green Bay Packers are just more...
Behave for the grade

By Clinton Hallahan You can’t feel it, but I’m trying to light you on fire with my eyes. I want to hate you to death. I’ve stopped listening to anything the professor is saying and I am trying to awaken in me the power of Greyskull, my X-Gene, or that weird kid from The Omen, and I’m trying to make you combust a little. Not a full body burn or anything (I’m more...
A campus divided cannot stand
| 12:01 am | 0 CommentBy Clinton Hallahan I really like the Women’s Centre, and really think it should stick around for as long as overzealous opponents will let it. That said, it is still a service that I purchase with my student fees, and it excludes me almost entirely. I doubt if I showed up to the door of the Women’s Centre that a group of rational humans would run me off with more...

Why slasher horror can never die
| 12:00 am | 0 CommentBy Clinton HallahanIMAGE COURTESY OF ANALOGMEDIUM.COMI was always more of a Jason man myself. Call me crazy, but a machete-wielding madman using an occupied sleeping bag as some sort of Cabelas catalog morning glory to attack a tree always tickled me in an immeasurable way (R.I.P Judy).That kind of terror is minimalist and embodies a kind of punk, DIY spirit that I more...
