Saw The Italian Job a few days ago. Charlize looks good throughout, the Mini Cooper chase scenes are okay, Ed Norton is his typical good self. Pure escapist theater - nothing to learn, no astounding effects - just a good show for (out here in CA) an increasingly pricy cost. After leaving the show, though, […]

Let it be known that you don't have to be a good actor to be a generous human. Wowee. 50,000,000 pounds is a lot of dough to give to the special effects and makeup people. Awesome. After all, without special effects and makeup, Keanu's acting ability would really shine through, wouldn't it? 🙂

Father Time and Mother Nature must really be getting it on today. Well, that or she saw me take a bath last night and can't get the image out of her head, because she's orgasming like crazy in southern Florida today. Rain so thick you can barely see 100 feet has been coming down for […]

I watched Adaptation last night with Dave (store Dave, not young Dave). It was, shall I say, very interesting. I'm a big fan of those "movie in a movie in a movie" type of movies. Perhaps the IMDB description says it best: Charlie Kaufman writes the way he lives… With Great Difficulty. His Twin Brother […]

I've been busy this week, so I haven't been able to write (or watch) American Idol. I think a friend is going to come over later and I'll do it then. Not sure. I already know the , though, as I read Nick's take on the results. I won't say who won or lost between […]

I changed my DirecTV subscription today. I ditched the Playboy channel. They started charging me - I've had it free since I signed up last January or so (was it really that long ago?). So that's $16/month I wasn't paying and now won't be paying. I ditched HBO and Cinemax. $12 and $11 each. I […]

The West Wing season finale was last night. My watching buddy Dave freaked out when he saw John Goodman. Is Sheen being forced out for his political activism? I sure as hell hope not. However, I haven't heard anything to the yay or nay, so I'm not going to worry about it until I see […]

We're down to three. I'm eating ice cream (Breyer's mint chocolate chip) while I watch, so I probably won't be typing a whole lot. Plus, there are only three contestants. Let's get to it. Wow, wait, next week is the last show. And three songs each this week? Wow. A randomly chosen song?! Chosen today? […]

I'd like to say goodbye to AppleScript Central today. The site is being moved to MacScripter.net and will be under their control soon. I've worked with ASC for over three years. I've met many great people through the site, and have enjoyed working with it. While I'm sad to see it go, I'm excited that […]

The final four. Last week was wrong; this week I hope to see Josh voted out. I'm a bit behind on watching this, but I've avoided all blogs that post about American Idol so far. I'll link to them at the end, but I didn't want them to taint my view of the show. I'll […]

One of my sig files says "there are no such things as stupid questions, only stupid people who ask questions." Though I don't find that to be true (not all the time, anyway), it is fairly humorous. However, I have noticed that people like to ask questions, and that's a good thing. That people are […]

Wal-Mart sucks for music. I went to two Wal-Marts today, one of them a not-so-"Super Wal-Mart," and neither had either of the CDs I was looking for: Bend it Like Beckham soundtrack R.E.M.'s Green I've been trying to track down BiLB for quite some time now. My copy of Green on the other hand looks […]

Holy freaking cow man. Ruben in the bottom two? Josh safe entirely? As Nick said W T F ??? Josh was so clearly the suckiest last week that I can't understand. Nick says apathy - people think Ruben is safe so they don't vote. It's toll-free people! Trenyce was bottom two, yes, but Josh was […]

American Idol is down to five contestants. Prior to having watched the show, I'm going to say this: Josh should be the one voted off this week. Then Trenyce. And then things get interesting. But I've got an hour to kill, so let's see how this whole thing goes, shall we? The folks will be […]

From the "Shut Up Already" file comes this tale of whining. Yes, this is the same prick who broke his 17" PowerBook screen and flew into a tirade when Apple wouldn't replace it under warranty. Broken screens have never been covered as codepoet mentions here. I'm not in favor of "only speaking good of Apple." […]
