Transformers II

In the history of movies, very few follow-ups have improved on the original.  Most have been let-downs.  Some of epic scale that left people wondering what the heck they were even thinking. Transformers II is along the lines of epic.  The original Transformers was witty all the way through.  It didn’t have anything offensive other than a robot peeing on someone. … (more…)

Firsts

June 25, 2009 hopefully was the end of a rather disturbing few weeks.  First David Carradine was found dead in a rather odd state. Then, on Tuesday Ed McMahon passed away.  That wasn’t terribly unexpected as he had been ill for a while.  But, then on Thursday another icon passed away: That wasn’t terribly surprising to me either.  All the… (more…)

Blowin a seven incher

Burger King has had some rather notorious promotions in the past.  Some good, some bad, some downright ugly.  This new one has got to fall under the category of all three.  It’s beautiful, it’s offensive, it’s enticing, it’s smut. Ok, anyone get the innuendo here?  Better question, does one single person on this planet need me to explain the innuendo… (more…)

The rock of my life

Another quick shot post.  Name the song my misunderstood lyric came from: I can’t find, oh, the rock of my life It came from a ballad about a guy who’s apparently made a pass at someone else, and it’s not working too well.  At the time, the song was great musically, but meaningless pretty much lyrically.  Then it clicked and… (more…)

Year One

This is exactly what you’d expect from Jack Black. Inane. Goofy. Gross. Sophomoric. Funny. The obviously crafted highlight to this movie is Jack Black eating a turd with Michael Cera aping Cheech and Chong. I saw that one coming way before Cera started. In fact, if it weren’t for Cera, this would have been a complete bomb. Black seems to… (more…)

UP

Amazon.com Widgets This movie was a sleeper for me. Not to a lot of folks tho. But, watching the trailer for months, I figured I had it all figured out before I even saw the movie. I was totally wrong. This isn’t one of those movies where you see all the best parts in the trailer. You see some of… (more…)

Mona Lisa Topless

About every other day, we get some headline about some babe posing topless.  It’s like it’s some brand new thing going on that was invented this year.  We’re supposed to be shocked or something that some female had the audacity, if not stupidity, to bare her breasts or more for the camera.  And vice versa, some chicks know that if… (more…)

Useless headline of the day – Michael Douglas Wanted to Impregnate Catherine Zeta-Jones

Here’s the headline: Michael Douglas Wanted to Impregnate Catherine Zeta-Jones on First Meeting I kid you not.  This is what they were referring to: I kid you not.  Who wouldn’t want to do her the first chance they had? Just for the record, he apparently did.  They married in 2000, they have two children now.  One of course, is eight.

USS Montana

Got this from family who I’m quite sure wishes to remain anonymous.

Joe Cocker, literal video

For those of us over 46, I’m sure you’ve spent the last 40 of those years wondering what the hell Joe Cocker actually sang at Woodstock.  The music was sorta The Beatles’ With a Little Help From My Friends.  But, the words, not so much.  Someone with way too much time on their hands actually sat down and parsed each… (more…)
