blibbity blabbity blah
So here's a few things I've been watching/reading lately...
Rocknrolla by ex-Mrs. Madonna, Guy Ritchie.
Not as much fun as Snatch, but better than Lock, Stock... I enjoyed it muchly. You could tell that everybody was having fun making this film. British gangsters + double crosses + fun characters = B.
And while on the subject of British gangster flicks, I saw Get Carter.
No, not the shite one with Stallone, the original with Michael Caine (nee Maurice Mickelwhite.)
As you can see, even Caine's poster is cooler. It seemed like a quality film, but sometimes it's hard to watch a really good movie from nearly forty years ago because so many movies have stolen from it (excuse me, paid homage to it) that I've seen all the parts before, just not here in this order. Still fun, though. B-.
As I'm sure ya'll know, I loves me some Sam Raimi, so I wonder why it's taken me so long to get around to Drag Me to Hell.
Probably because it's kind of pedestrain and lacks that certain something... Sure it's manic, sure it's darkly funny, sure the protaganist takes a tremendous beating, but somehow the sum was less that the whole of the parts. Plus, I just have a hard time believing Justin Long in a serious role. Stick to doofus roles please, such as your sublime turn as a gay pornographer Brandon St. Randy from Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Thank you.
Anyway, C-.
Rewatched (for the bazillionth time) the Departed.
I really like this show. Really really good, but not great. Here's why. Jack Nicholson phoned it in. Everything else clicks but his acting is kinda Pacino-like (I'm thinking Scent of a Woman here) and his hack Bah-stan accent is crap. Enjoy your paycheck, Jack, you kept this from being a seminal gangster film because you were lazy. Still...B+.
Been reading the Bone comic book series by Jeff Smith.
It started in, I think, 1991, and I somehow never finished. Still haven't, in fact, but I'm working on it. I'm not too happy that the only versions I can find are colorized, but I'm dealing with it by inhaling obscene amounts of cough syrup and wearing a wreath made from aroma therapy candles on my head. Since I haven't finished, I'll reserve judgement until later, but so far so great.
And finally the show that's been kicking the ass outta me... Lost.
I'm working on season 3 right now and I like it a lot. I enjoy the flashback-laden storytelling, I enjoy the weirdness, and I enjoy the character work a lot. I don't enjoy trying to keep from finding out what's happened in seasons 4 and 5 before I get there. My goal is to catch up before season 6 starts in February. I have to average about an episode a day to do so. Wish me luck.
Anyway...that's the pop culture crap that's been most recently inserted into my ever-shrinking mental Rolodex (alternately known as my knowledge Dumpster.)
Laters.

Me. Right now.
Here's my schedule from the last couple of days:
I worked Thursday night, Friday morning, Friday night, Saturday morning, and Saturday night.
This is not a post that is looking for sympathy. I chose to have two jobs, so sometimes this happens.
The only reason I'm awake right now is because I had to be up in time to set my fantsay football lineup.
Yup. I am a gigantic loser.

Yeah, I know it's been forever...
A sincere apology to both of my loyal readers. I know that your lives are much emptier without me. That was sarcasm, Mom.
Anyhoo, I'm at work, bored, and I thought I'd post some things that make me laugh. Without further ado...
I know I'll burn for laughing at this, but oh well.
Maybe I'll again post before the world ends in 2012. Who knows.

another meme...
These are the first fifteen songs to play on my iTunes on shuffle with no fudging, skipping, deleting, adding, etc.
1. Underworld - Pearl's Girl (live)
2. Ladytron - Ghosts
3. Nina Simone - Go To Hell
4. The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Shirt Jac
5. Bad Religion - The Biggest Killer In American History
6. Neko Case - Wish I Was the Moon Tonight
7. Oingo Boingo - Who Do You Want To Be
8. George Michael - Freedom 90
9. Miles Davis - So What
10. Beastie Boys - Pass the Mic
11. Marvin Gaye - Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)
12. Rancid - Bloodclot
13. Pixies - Debaser
14. the Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice
15. Nine Inch Nails - Cornoa Radiata
This is definitely a mix I'd listen to (although I would like to alter the order, I guess that's the old DJ in me) and it's not embarassing to show to the world. Yay!

The comedy stylings of Dr. Victor Von Doom
This is the funniest thing I've seen in quite awhile. Enjoy.

Why I Hate People Reason #541
Is there a reason for people with an abundance of phlegm in their sinuses to continuously and loudly snort and rearrange said phlegm around their sinus cavity instead of spitting it out or blowing their nose? And if you absolutely must retain said phlegm instead of ejecting it, must you do it within scant feet of me?
I'm sorry (not really) if you have a cold, sinus infection, or hereditary snot condition, but I really, really don't want to hear it (let alone see the faces you make while doing so.) Take some drugs, blow it out (tissues and hankies exist for a reason) or swallow it.
Does this guy have so little sense of self that he's making these faces/noises without understanding how foul he is and/or that most people don't want it as a part of their lives?
Seriously, dude, you're making my stomach a little queasy over here.

Back from the dead...
So I've been gone awhile (I'm sure that both of my dear readers barely noticed) and now I'm back, hopefully, with more consistency.
Here's the quick breakdown of wha's bin happenin'.
I moved to Shelley, Idaho in late April. I have now moved back to a different apartment in Idaho Falls. I don't even think the story is worth telling. It wasn't a horrible choice, just the wrong choice, and now I'm setting it right.
My Mom moved away. To Phoenix. This is a good/bad thing. Suffice it to say, I think it's the right move for her, and I hope that all will be swell for her there.
This means I have moved myself and helped another person move for a total of three moves in five weeks. I hate moving.
I had lost 23 pounds. 'Had' being the operative word there. I have gained back 13, resulting in a net loss of 10 (for you not-math majors out there.) I now live five minutes from the gym and I've started going again.
I hate my jobs. This will be it's own blog someday.
Speaking of jobs, I'm at one of them now and I prolly shouldn't be writing this, so I'll take my leave.
I'll be back soon. I promise.

Movies I watched in March, 2009
The other day I turned on my DVR and discovered that it was 98% full. There were a few things on there that I didn't care about, but after I deleted them I still had 94% fillage. So I started watching shows that I had meant to watch forever and ever. Thus, in March, I watched less movies, and more TV. Here's what I watched, and they are, as always, in alphabetical order...
MOVIES:
District B13
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (about 10 times)
Employee of the Month
Knowing (one of the worst movies I've seen in a looong time)
Let the Right One In
Quantum of Solace
Reservoir Dogs
Stardust
Zack and Miri Make a Porno
TV:
Four episodes of the Dollhouse
Six episodes of Fringe
Six episodes of Life
Five episodes of No Reservations (Azures, Chicago, New York, Washington D.C., Mexico)
many and various cooking/travel shows
So there you have the month of March and the crap I watched. Hopefully you've all seen Dr. Horrible and none of you have seen Knowing.

My inner twelve-year-old is pleased...
For a long while now, my favorite baseball player name has been Albert Pujols. Why, you ask? Because it's pronounced "poo-holes". I can't hear that name or see his picture without smiling. Because I'm a child. An immature child. Pujols, seen here,
plays first base for the St. Louis Cardinals and he hits the ball really, really far.
So last night I'm watching the much-maligned World Baseball Classic (it's maligned mostly because it sucks) and Japan was playing Korea because the USA slacksters had been eliminated and who should come to the plate but my new favorite name, Bum Ho Lee.
Lee ripped a shot to left that sent the game to extra innings, but that wasn't important. What was important was the grown men professional sportscasters who had to say his name over and over again. I giggled for an hour.
Am I alone here? Does anybody else think this is funny? Cartman? Beavis? Back me up here.
And while we're on the topic of what my inner moron thinks is funny, I present to you a veritable potpourri of celebrity shtuff that amuses...
Okay bye bye.

Movies I Watched in February, 2009
These are (obviously, if you read the title) the movies I watched last month, in alphabetical order.
1. the Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
2. An American Carol
3. Children of Men
4. the Departed
5. the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
6. Hancock
7. Idiocracy
8. Layer Cake
9. Manos Hands of Fate (MST3K version)
10. Mission Impossible 3
11. Raising Arizona
12. Rushmore
13. Serenity
14. Seven Samurai
15. Top Secret
16. Tokyo Gore Police
17. Wanted
18. Withnail & I
So I did someting this month that I almost never do: I actually turned three of these movies off before finishing them. I rarely do this to any movie, let alone multiple flicks. I did this because they were just not working for me and to be honest I didn't want to waste my time. It probably is no coinicidence that I gave up on all three in about a weeks time, so we'll blame it on me, not them? Okay? Okay.
Brownie points to anyone who can guess the proper three that I rejected.
Also, I felt as if I just didn't get many movies watched in February. Is watching 18 (well, 15 and change) movies in a short month bad? Average? Anyone out there watching more? Less? Am I just being a total weirdo? Feedback please...

P.S. I think those are my shorts from my 7th grade PE class.

If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me...
The above title is actully a quote from Dorothy Parker. I put it there because I'm about to say something not very nice.
I was just watching a bit of the Duke/North Carolina game and I began to have a little cranial itch, you know, where you kind of remember something from years ago simply by association.
I remembered that I have a general loathing of jocks. This is odd coming from a sports fan, I s'pose, but let me clarify. I don't usually have a problem with professional athletes (except for anyone who is a Los Angeles Laker or a New York Yankee) but I don't dig collegians because I think they can remind me of that specific dumb jock type who tormented me in high school.
As I was watching this game there was one in particular who stood out as that 'dumb jock type', (and it's not like I've met this guy, he just has that air about him) North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough.
I couldn't find exactly the kind of picture I wanted but if you watched this particular game you probably saw what I did. A guy who has a perpetual look of that guy from your college dorm who would commandeer the TV lounge on Friday night with his 24 pack of beer while bogarting the remote so you can't change it away from his favorite country music videos before he passes out and then when he wakes from his drunken stupor has a look that says "I'm not sure, but I may have crapped my pants."
I have no definite proof that Tyler Hansbrough has ever crapped his pants in my old college dorm after an all night bout with CMT, but I've decided I don't like him anyway. And apparently neither do the folks at the Onion...
Part of this is probably the fault of me being in a general bad mood tonight and having this tool leer out of my television being all cool because he won the genetic lottery and he doesn't realize that not everyone in the civilized world adores him because he plays basketball at a storied university and he'll soon make millions in the NBA while having hot chicks with dreams of a paternity suit throw themselves at his dumb ass while I sit here in my jammies eating Fruity Dino Bites wishing I had some skill set I could have used to my advantage coming out of high school besides being a smart ass who bought his way out of a sure thing 'F' in parallel parking by bribing his drivers ed teacher with Ho Ho's and Dr. Pepper so I could get a 'C-' thereby negating anything resembling a work ethic I might have developed so now I coast through my job and life like a freakin' zombie on Thorazine attracting dorky chicks wearing Twilight T-shirts trying to hide their daddy issues and other assorted baggage so they can stalk me and make promises that they'll never want to change me and can I loan them a hundred bucks so they can go to Stephenie Meyer hack writer camp with special guest Michael Crichton's corpse...
But I digress.
Seriously though. Doesn't this guy look like a douchebag?
To be fair, Hansbrough and North Carolina won the game and he is, by all accounts, a fine young man who works hard and has a bright future. I am the douchebag in this scenario... directing my vitriol at a type of person on the periphery of my memories rather than praising the accomplishments of an individual who works hard for his success. I suck.
Man, I hated high school.

Lux Interior, RIP.
Lux Interior, lead singer of seminal garage punk/psychobilly band, the Cramps, passed away February 4th, 2009. I just found out tonight and I am bummed out. I'm listening to my fave Cramps song 'Creature From the Black Leather Lagoon' as I write this. Apparently, Lux (nee Erick Purkhiser) had a pre-existing heart condition, and this was the cause of death.
Lux and Cramps front woman Poison Ivy (sometimes Poison Rorschach) were husband and wife and they combined with ever-changing band members to release (I'm doing this off the top of my head) probably a dozen albums. Lux and Ivy were indefatiguable, pushing their act (some say schtick) forward despite whatever the prevailing trends of the music industry happened to be.
The Cramps were the kind of band my parents hated. My pops, an Elvis and Roy Orbison lover, would have dismissed the Cramps immediately if he'd ever heard them. I never had the nerve to play their version of 'Jailhouse Rock' for my old man, but I'm sure he would have hated it.
'Bikini Girls with Machine Guns' is playing now and I'm smiling at the sleaze and passion that the Cramps exude. We lost one of the good ones this week, people. I will offer no 'moment of silence' because I'm sure Lux would have rather had 'a moment of punk rock or rockabilly with middle finger extended' instead.
RIP, Lux. You're on your way to the big cheetah printed, velvet covered, martini soaked, patent leather VIP lounge in the sky.

Movie list o' January
I've decided to keep track of all the movies I watch this year. I'm kind of curious about volume, trends, and other random stuff. This is not too serious of a venture, just a list for the sake of satisfying my shallow curiosity. So there.
At present I plan to post the titles once per month because it will take less work to do it that way.
Here's what I watched in January, 2009, in alphabetical order.
1. Appleseed
2. Appleseed: Ex Machina
3. Azumi
4. Batman: Gothic Knight
5. Black Sheep (New Zealander zombie sheep, not Chris Farley)
6. Big Lebowski
7. Bourne Ultimatum
8. Burn After Reading
9. Dark Knight
10. Fight Club
11. Kekko Kamen
12. National Lampoon's Senior Trip
13. National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
14. Paprika
15. Redbelt
16. Resident Evil: Regeneration
17. Snatch
18. Sweeney Todd
19. Wall.E
Okay then. I feel that this is probably a decent representation of my tastes. I'm kind of all over the map. Anime, horror, comedy, Grand Guignol, Pixar, blockbusters, independents, quality, and crap. Yay for me being all diverse and stuff.

Things I like
Some of my friends have been posting 'Best of 2008' type blogs and I was thinking of perpetuating that particular meme, but it's now February and to me it seems too late to do that so I'll make a list of things that I am enjoying right here, right now.
My good friend Mark B. sent me via post a Flaming Carrot action figure. The Flaming Carrot was billed as The First Surreal Super Hero. He had a mask of a giant carrot with flames coming out of the top. He fought villains such as The Artless Dodger who stole worthless crap (like a box of disco records owned by Ernest Borgnine) and then he would make his escape. The Flaming Carrot is one of my top five comic heroes of all time and Mark was kind enough to find his figurine in America's heartland and send it to me. Yay!
Netflix/Xbox 360 have partnered up to let me watch streaming movies on my TV as opposed to on my laptop. I always like the idea of streaming movies from Netflix, but in acutality I kinda hated it because, simply put, I don't really enjoy watching movies on my laptop. Tinny speakers, little screen, bleh. But if I can do the same thing on my regular ol' TV, then it's much cooler. Stereo sound, big screen, comfy chair, wheee! I already thought this was awesome, and then I discovered that the entire series of Kolchak the Night Stalker was available! I'm addicted forever.
ummm...on a quick side note...remember when Madonna was hot?
Now she scares me. Ick.
I like a blog I found through a friend of a friend called superdickery.com where the guy who publishes it spends much time showing how Superman is, well, a dick.
There is also a section called Seduction of the Innocent that shows creepy innuendo-laden pictures and/or photos from old comics that are, um, creepy and innuendo-laden.
March 24th is the DVD release date of season 3 of the Venture Bros. that airs on Adult Swim. An irreverent lambasting of action shows such as Jonny Quest, the Bros. is I think my favoritest show on TV right now. Brilliant characters, funny satire and parody work, daft villains/situations all tied together with overreaching themes of failure and incompetency. Genius.
That's all I got for now...
