This one is worth a trip to Blockbuster . . . it reminded me of Seven. Very dark and creepy but smart and effective. Essentially the whole damn world is full of sickos and voyeurs who have become completely desensitized to violence and the suffering of others because the internet serves it up like low fat popcorn . . . now add Diane Lane and simmer.
There were a few bumps- a lot of the internet tech speak is nonsense and I defy you to hack into Onstar and stop my engine – AND cut off my Blackberry in the span of 5 minutes so that I come to a halt in the exact spot you want me on a bridge in the pouring rain . . . but I’m splitting hairs.
It’s a good suspenseful flick that moves right along and doesn’t flinch. Sorta like Silence of the Lambs meets Seven with a dash of Super Mario Brothers.
Ok I’m messing with you about the Mario brothers part, but come on when is the last time you saw me write two paragraphs without a smart ass remark?
So obviously the scarf Rachael Ray is wearing above is a direct symbol of terrorism right?
I mean that’s the first thing I thought when I saw it.
And Dunkin Donuts agreed because when some balsam wood reactionary fruit loop with NOTHING better to do then LOOK FOR CRAP to complain about brought it to their attention; Dunkin Donuts folded like a cheap camera and pulled it.
Now Rachael Ray has to do arts and crafts and dish about whatever the hell she dishes about with Oprah all the way from freakin’ Guantanamo Bay.
HEY IMBECILES – Rachael Ray is not a terrorist.
She is annoying as hell on occasion and her goofy laugh may send you looking for a pipe bomb, but you can take my word for the fact that she will never be piloting a 747 into your Donut Shop.
She probably doesn’t even drink that crap anyway.
She strikes me as more of a Bourbon chick – and I would know . . .
No seriously, – I’m like 250 pounds and at least 175 lbs of it all is love for the bearded brother from Red Bank.
He is a God to geeks everywhere and God bless him he’s living the dream – sure he doesn’t get to make fun of Harrison Ford movies through the use of goofy toys and sophisticated editing equipment the way I do but he finds a way to get up everyday so good for him.
I just watched the Internet trailer for Zack and Miri make a Porno and sadly, I think the love fest is over.
I’m not putting the trailer here directly because I just don’t like it. It’s not very funny. It’s kind of disgusting.
Hey ask around – I am no prude, but this film . . . from this trailer . . . I just don’t get it.
Look – Clerks was ok – it drags a bit but the VOICE in it was totally original for it’s time. Mallrats – Jason Lee is possibly one of the funniest people alive – and I grew up in the environment that inspired Mallrats so I loved it. Chasing Amy is a masterpiece of broken hearted realism – right down to it’s anti hollywood ending. Dogma is not perfect, but it is damn good to the last drip with God doing cartwheels on the church lawn. Smart AND funny. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is one big IN joke, but I’m in on it, so it’s cool for me . . . Jersey Girl is an excellent movie cursed with bad timing. It has a very real voice and Ben Affleck is excellent in it as is George Carlin and Liv Tyler. Clerks Two was a terrible reaction to Jersey Girl not performing at the box office. The Clerks Cartoon (Which I loved) seemed more like the characters from the original movie then this one. Just dick and fart jokes from start to finish and uncomfortable comedy for it’s own sake. I fear that Zack and Miri is to be more of the same times 8. Maybe not – but I doubt it.
Before all the zombie hordes of Kevin lovers smash me for having the audacity to question the quality of his new movie sight unseen I will say only this:
Dick and Fart jokes aren’t funny forever.
Sooner or later you have to take a breath look in the mirror and grow.
Jersey Girl was a step in that direction. I’m not feeling it so much anymore. Artists grow and change, churning out product and collecting a pay check from the core kool aid crowd has it’s place – but I really thought Kevin was going to be more than this.
I’m kinda disappointed not that I have ANY right to be. Obviously I don’t KNOW this guy. But for a while it felt like I did.
I totally admit on this topic that I am just another opinionated @$$hole . . .
95.5 FM in New York plays 80s music every night after 8PM.
Tonight I had to return “Army of the Dead” to the Red Box (where it should remain for eternity . . . ) and I took my 7 year old daughter along for the ride.
Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock and Roll” came on and she sang it at the top of her lungs.
Two sort of funny things about this . . .
1) She thinks it is a Britney Spears song that Joan Jett remade
2) She has no idea what a Jukebox is and assumed Joan is singing Juice Box.
When I asked her why anyone would put a dime in a Juicebox she replied that she assumed it was like a vending machine for drinks.
If you don’t have any kids – RUN and get one. They are very entertaining.
I cannot believe how fast time passes while I play that ridiculous puzzle game.
A mere 1000 Nintendo points ($10 Bucks) and I am killing viruses with an Italian plumber who apparently went to Med School at some point.
There must be a story there somewhere. I mean, if he’s a DOCTOR why is he always crawling through pipes with his idiot brother? Maybe he is not an “actual” Doctor.
Maybe he’s an underground doctor that they only call the “plumber” because he’ll fix up yer pipes. Maybe he’s a Doctor for the Nintendo Mob . . . maybe . . . not.
Hey now that I think of it, if something is going to cost 10 bucks, why not just say it’s 10 bucks.
Why do Nintendo and Microsoft feel a need to assign a point value to their software downloads and make me purchase their currency as if I have traveled to some virtual duty free shop . . .
Only Sony charges actual US currency for downloading software from their online Sony Shop.
Which leads me to wonder, who is paying for gamer pictures? Seriously. Are you willing to pay for a picture that gets assigned to your gamer tag? Why? Are you paying for THEMES too?
That should be free. Game companies should pay ME for using their logo or charachter as a tatoo of my online identity. It’s advertising for THEM. I don’t gain any notiriety because I have a Gears Of War logo next to my name . . .
I only use the free ones. And only the really goofy free ones. Currently I am using a guy in a top hat that has something to do with Dr. Pepper. I couldn’t tell you what.
So that’s all I have to say for now. Wii Fit, Mario Kart, Dr. Mario – This week is all about Nintendo and frankly it’s about time. They’ve been skating by on Wii Sports for too long . . .
Tommorow I’ll tell ya about the fight I had at Target over a scratched Mario Kart disc . . . That right there is what we in the business call a cliffhanger!
