He-Man!!!


D and I love He-Man. Due to an incident a while ago concerning Man-at-Arms I felt the need for a shout out to the awesomeness that is He-Man.

Movie A Day - New Kids


Aint It Cool News is doing a movie a day feature and todays choice is the awesome 80's James Spader flick. Check it out...here

Spirit Officially Sucks!!!

I have not seen the movie. Just so we are clear. I don't think I can bring myself to watch Frank Miller bastardize a classic comic. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 15% and most reviews I have read basically confirmed my fears that Miller "Sin Citied" the Spirit and his deplorable writing made it absolutely ridiculous. This said, I will wait until its on DVD to see it.

*Of course I'm going to see it, aside from Catwoman I have seen every comic inspired movie. Its a sickness and sometimes quite a painful one... Spidey 3.

She is obsessed...


Am I surprised? No. It was an xmas gift so it is my fault. D cannot help herself. So I sit.... pouting... playing the game on my computer.

Awesome X-mas Gifts




Love me some James Jean and of course I needed the 2 disc special edition of the Dark Knight but the Penguin Race was the gift I didn't know I needed, but now that I have it, I don't know how I ever lived without it.

10 Things I Love, part 5

I know, I know, I'm a little late with this. And yes, I know, I've been a bit remiss in regards to this blog lately. But the truth is, I plan on being even more absent through the rest of the year. See, like a bear in winter, I've decided to hibernate until 2009 shows its' pretty face. So, to hold you over until then, I give you the next 10 things I love:

Getting the house cleaned
Parenthesis
Legos
Keystrokes
Globes
the 10 East sign that lists the upcoming exits as such:
La Brea Ave. 1
Crenshaw Blvd. 2
Arlington Ave. 3
My name: the way it’s spelled, the shape of the letters the way it looks written down, the way it sounds when certain people say it
The smell of coffee
Mitten clips for children
Aunt Theresa’s sugar cookies

And here's me:





I'll leave it up to you to decide which has the greater resemblance.

The Crow Remake?


Haven't they already squeeze every bit of dignity out of this series? Come on!!! The numerous sequels were painful enough but f***ing with the original is just plain wrong. Stop the madness!

Quite a Ride


You know how you go on auto-pilot when you drive sometimes? Well, looking up and seeing this... uncool. We made it safe thanks to our David Hasselhoff like reflexes ala Knightrider. Yes, we are that awesome.

Wolverine Origins Trailer


I'm giddy. I'm a big fan of Leiv Schreiber and he looks great as Sabretooth. Plus, I'm actually liking the few shots with Gambit. Looking good... lets just hope they don't have a bunch of Wolvie cry moments like in X-Men 3, that will piss me off.

-t

Oops... I'm doing my job


Hardcore last night Sarah, hardcore. Personally, if the woman I loved killed someone in cold-blood for me I would think it was hot but then again, I'm a little strange. Chuck naturally gets all freaky-deaky. Secret Agents Chuck!!! Shooting people is very much part of the job. Don't be such a bitch about it. Aside from Chuck's bumbling, I dug the episode. I like when they feature the Sarah/Chuck cutesy shit, I'm a sucker for it. Now to wait till February 2ND. Lame.

Chuck Versus the Santa Claus

Admission of guilt: I accidentally missed the first 10 minutes of Chuck this evening because I thought it was about two hours earlier than it actually was. And, I was reading a cheesy romance novel. Anyway...

Casey got his toe blown off. Casey handled the situation with his typical aplomb: he growled. I swear, no other man has ever sounded so sexy when he curls his lip and growls. There are now three men on this show that I would sleep with-

1. Chuck
2. Casey
3. Awesome

(Depending on the episode, the order may change.)

Speaking of Awesome, when he had the opportunity to call his parents during the hostage crisis, he told them, "everything's awesome. Well, not really." Which was, naturally, awesome.

Chuck handled himself well in the hostage situation, and when he was allowed to make his one call to a loved one, he called Sarah, who was in the store with him. Then he proceeded to giver her his Christmas gift, which was the charm bracelet his mother received when Ellie was born. Let's say it all together: Awwww!

Course, the writers couldn't let us get too settled in the Chuck-and-Sarah-being-sweet moment, nor could they give us the mistletoe moment I so hoped for last week, but instead, had to blow the sentiment by showing Sarah ruthlessly killing the Fulcrum agent. Of course, Chuck saw the whole cold-blooded incident, but didn't hear the Fulcrum agent threaten Chuck, which was why she decided to off him in the first place. After a season and a half, I'm getting a little tired of these two never getting together.

Then again, it might get boring if they did. -sigh- And now we've got to wait until freakin' FEBRUARY 2nd until we can see the next new episode.

In other news, there were a couple of funny coincidences: the hostage-taker was named Ned, which is amusing, since on Pushing Daisies, the main characters names are Ned and Chuck. And one of the cops was the guy from Die Hard, you know, he's also the guy from Family Matters? At least, I think he was. Anyway, let's just go with that, okay?

Classic Scrubs Moment


I'm helping my mom with her place today and some random arm movement made me think of the Safety Dance which reminded me of this classic Scrubs moment.

-t

The Phantom? Really?


Unnecessary sequel coming at you here. Why the Phantom? Why now? Don't get me wrong, the Phantom is great but no one really remembers it. If they do they remember Billy Zane riding through the forest in broad daylight on a white horse in a purple spandex suit. Not cool... The movie studios have a habit of making a mockery out of classic comics. Just look at what Frank Miller is doing with the Spirit. More on that later.

What We Are Watching


D and I have had a Wonderfalls party for the last week or so. It's brilliant, everyone should check out.

No salvation on the horizon

The Salvation Army has rules and ranks. Apparently as the accompanying article states, an officer in the Salvation Army cannot marry outside his rank. So the poor guy who fell in love with a woman who is not part of the Salvation Army now faces exile after 14 years of service. That's hard-f***ing-core. Johnny Harsh, the man under investigation, apparently knew he was wrong but hopes the "powers that be" will reconsider.

Follow the link to the story. A couple quotes I found interesting:

"However, I signed a covenant to obey my Salvation Army leaders and I have failed to obey my leaders."

"Unfortunately, Johnny lost his life partner, his wife, Yoley, and his life changed at that time," she said. "We will miss him."

Song of the day goes out to Captain Johnny Harsh.

Zombie Sightings!!!


So there we were at the Americana mall in Glendale (yes, Glendale) and all of a sudden there is this sudden rumbling in the crowd. The faces around us went blank and I thought I heard someone grunt. We turned to see the source of the sudden odd behavior and there it was... water. FUCKING WATER CUED TO LAME ASS MUSIC!!! They all stood there, open mouth staring, zombie-like. Thankfully we made it out okay. It was touch and go for a minute and I got a little worried. For those concerned we are home safe now. Though I do feel a strange urge to grab a couple hoses, pop on some tunes, stand in my front yard and entertain the neighborhood with my magic water.

-t

Shopping Excursion?


You know how some people say all weather is earthquake weather? It's calm, earthquake. It's raining, earthquake. It's the middle of the night and I'm sleeping, earthquake. Well, in my world earthquakes are zombies. It is always zombie weather. It's a gloomy one today and the girlfriend is making me go shopping. Naturally my mind wandered to Dawn of the Dead. Clearly, I'm not a huge fan of shopping. But, the mall is dangerous, damn it! If the zombie invasion happens we have documented evidence of where they will go first. Well, after they eat their loved ones. They will head on over to the mall and BAM! We will be forced to live at the mall with a chick who is pregnant with a little zombie baby and crazy baby daddy who won't put a bullet to it. See now, this is not kosher. It's clear, I cannot put myself or my darling girl in harm's way. It's for our safety. I'm sure she will understand.

So, I hear that the little man is doing better. While he is not up and around in the same boisterous fashion he is taking an active interest in things again. I fear he has developed some bad habits though... no he's just really the Boo's kitty. Like mother like son.

Please recast


Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Summit may recast Tayler Lautner (Jacob Black) for the Twilight sequel New Moon. God I hope they do. The kid's cute and all but he looks like a child and he's only 5'9. Jacob is suppose to be 6'7 so unless Taylor has a major growth spurt it looks like he may be out.
