I really think anyone who is planning to cast Leonardo Dicaprio in a movie needs to reconsider and cast....

Joseph-Gordon Levitt. He's good.
Really good.
And I think he could pull off the Joker in Batman 3. He not only kinda looks like Heath, I think he has more range. But I think you need to take the Joker in a different way with a Paul Bettany or Jude Law or Colin Farrel. But thats just me.

500 days of Summer is the movie you should have made but didn't.
It is also the film you should watch but maybe haven't.

Simple. Clean. True.

Avatar.

What to say.

I want to see it in 2D.

First of all. Visually its ungodly wonderful. The plants, the world, the navi or whatever the fuck they are.
The casting was solid.

I have a few issues and they are minor.

One: James Cameron movies need the following actors.
1.) Arnold no arnold? Okay.
2.) Michael Biehn
3.) Bill Paxton
4.) Lance Henriksenn

2 and 3 are more crucial. Why not put bill paxton in the giovanni role?
Michael Biehn as the marine leader?

The plot line was pretty amateur hour. The concept was incredible. I mean this is high sci-fi. But it devolved into a native american action hour.
Was it awesome? Hell yes. Did I notice the length? No. Do I want to see it again?
I'm not so sure. It was one of those times where you realize that it was maybe too perfect an experience. Something that you just really really liked and if you go back again, its probably not going to do it for you.

unobtanium? DUMB NAME.

There were some ideas I found really intriguing, one what if he didn't go into a navi body at the end. What if he simply mated with whats her face as a human?
Again. Fascinating. But not hero journey stuff.
This is a Space Opera movie. And you know what. It is exceptionally well done.
the lesson is this. I
NEVER DOUBT JAMES CAMERON. Spielberg and Lucas must have loved this film.
And two. We shouldn't need 50 or 60 year old men to challenge our imaginations in film.
But they are.
Because apparently the younguns are out of ideas.
Or didn't have any in the first place.
But that is a flaw with hollywood. Let us hope Cameron keeps directing.
I hope he gets best picture and rubs it in Bigelow's face. But says to her "strange days and point break? we had a run didn't we babe?" And she screams. Strange Days is a great film though.

Oh god please read Roger Ebert's review of the Lovely Bones. I basically fell over laughing because of one line. "This whole film is Jackson's fault."
He is talking about how great the actors are and then he's just like "FUCK IT. THIS MOVIE SUCKS AND THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON" Peter Jackson.
Oh yes. Peter Jackson cannot direct. Never could.

The picks.

Vikings
Colts.

Favre-Manning super bowl. Oh yes.

Jennifer's Body is excellent. WAY BETTER than Juno. Dead serious.
Totally fucking brilliant. More of those please. More.

If you need to find your way in life or other things, I say there is no better dual combo than 500 days of summer and Jennifer's Body. Two perfect notes. Sweet and Sour.

Nancy is on facebook.

That is all.

The picks. Colts. Chargers. Cowboys AND Cards. I am probably crazy, but I do not trust the saints right now.

I need your phone numbers

I got my new phone. Samsung Rogue. Bad ass.
So I need you to email or txt me your phone numbers. Since I lost all my contacts.

This is going to be short.

I lost my phone at a bar.
So don't call or text until lets say Wednesday. New phone then. I was going to get a droid eris or some smartphone until I saw their plans for smartphones. Total bullshit.

Nancy and I are sorry Grant. Not really sorry, but sorry for annoying you.
I almost did karaoke. Actually I was up, but then I realized I needed to walk the dog.

I found out that there are a few words that you shouldn't say in a bar.
One of them is Patron
the other is single malt

ouch and fucking ouch.

Avatar review shortly.
NFL updates.
I got a DS. its addictive as shit.
why do we poison ourselves again?

So it was good to see grant

It really was.
Albeit far too short a visit. I hoped he enjoyed himself.

Jae is nice enough. Seems like a good person. I am highly questionable of her relationship with Grant.
She reminded me of someone else, which made me angry. At myself and at her.

The Democrats are over.

It was fun while it lasted wasn't it? Fucking idiots.



Yup. I think the video explains everything.

Olympia it is. Nancy and I will be going over her contract and meet with her new employers soon.

She signed a lease, she moves in on Feb. 1st. I will probably move to Olympia soon after.

I do not know how to draft magic cards. I don't. I need to learn. Need to email bill about Starcity login to print out Ruel's articles.

This is me writing off the San Antonio Spurs.

I am going to see Avatar this weekend in Digital 3D. Not imax, not regular movie. Digital 3D. Just like Cameron filmed it.


Here's the thing about Tiger Woods. I don't give a shit.

But. I will watch every round of golf he plays when he comes back.
Also.
I want him paired with Jesper Parnevik in the opening round of the Masters. So tiger can destroy him.

I'm predicting Tiger wins AT LEAST two majors this year. What I would love. Is if Tiger wins the masters and his fan club is a bunch of porn stars busting out of their shirts hugging him.

The Phillies are fucking stupid.
One. Why trade Cliff Lee and prospects to get Halladay?
Is Halladay better? Yes. But why not just keep Lee and trade for Halladay with the prospects you have? Resign Halladay and watch Lee pitch his lights out.
You probably win the 2010 World Series. That being said. I still think the Phillies can win a world series WITH halladay. Just as they could with Cliff Lee.

I don't understand why the Red Sox got another number one starter.
I'm confused here.
You have Beckett, Lester, Daisuke, Bucholtz, Wakefield. Pretty fucking Deep right?
But at least 2 of those guys are number ones on most staffs.
So you need another great pitcher?
Don't the Red Sox need to shore up their lineup more since they lost Jason Bay and Lowell? We'll just shut them all down with our pitching! Unless of course Lackey, Daisuke and Wakefield get hurt. Which they are wont to do. And beckett doesn't seem the same. Stupid. This reminds me of the San Antonio Spurs. I'm just not sold.
For 80 million dollars why not spend that money on Matt Holiday. Or Jason Bay?

But even dumber
The Anaheim Angels.
Okay so you let your #1 Starter go to the Red Sox. A team you swept.
Then you sign Hideki Matsui over Vlad Guerrero. Which isn't that horrible but doesn't make much sense.
But when you heard the Mariners were getting Cliff Lee, don't you have to give Lackey whatever he wants.
90 million or whatever. I think you have to.
I mean if they lose the west by a few games, they can probably point to not re-signing lackey as the reason.

The Mariners are fucking in the best shape right now. Which is awesome since I can go watch King Felix and Cliff pitch.

The Yankees stole Granderson.

The NBA looks like the same teams. Which is good.

Mark my words when I said the Orlando Magic will underachieve. The master of Panic.

I think the Saints are going to run the table. Same for the Colts.

Except I'm saying it right here.

If the Patriots get in the playoffs. They will win the Super Bowl.

I don't know why. I just have a feeling. I could be way wrong. Like the dream where I thought Denver would beat Indy.


Off to work. I see the doctor on Monday. I think I will get a clean bill of health.

I'm sure there is something else I should be mentioning but I can't recall.

oh man.

The best part of watching a HORRIBLE David Schwimmer film is the fact that the completely unfunny Michael Ian Black wrote it. If only Michael Showalter was in on it too. My glee would be uncontrollable.
Thank you HBO. And thank you Reno 911 for showing us the funny STATE cast members.




Seriously Fuck those jews.

Also CVAK is a coward. He said what we all were thinking. But I love him for throwing it out there.

this is great

but this is EVEN BETTER
