Review: W

Surprisingly even handed portrait of still president Bush lacking the massive attack I was hoping for from Oliver Stone. I'm sure conservatives will hate this movie because it isn't laudatory and some liberals might not dig it because it isn't damning enough. That might just be what makes this movie a fitting tribute to a 3rd rate prez, but not a good film. Save your money; wait for the DVD.

Review: Appaloosa

Short story: Rocks. Long story: Rooooooocks. This western has a traditional storyline with a revisionist look&feel that's like a warm bath for the mind punctuated with dapples of gunfire & a supcong of uniquely western romance. Only downside is Renee Zellweiger's bright white ass in one scene but it was entirely organic to the plot. 7 out of 10 whatevers.

Review: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist is the most unfathomably boring & pointless hipster teen romance I have EVER seen. The most unbelievable part of this movie-besides anyone wanting to screw the protagonists- is that it's based on a book. What a monumental POS that must have been. Movies like this are what make red-staters needlessly hate New York. Rent After Hours or High Fidelity instead.

Have I mentioned I hate drunks? pt 2

cont'd ... I offended the drunkard by suggesting we postpone talks until Kissinger frees up his schedule. This guy must have been accustomed to scaring people at some point in his life because he fixes me with this thousand-yard stare like I'd flinch. It was probably just Miller Lite poisoning keeping him from seeing straight but in spite of my cast and other infirmities, I just don't blink once I start shit. It'll probably get me killed one day but this time I got my 8-piece and my psychiatric meds and got the hell up out of there.

Have I mentioned I hate drunks? pt 1

Had another brouhaha this weekend. I was @ HyVee Food Store trying to pick up some herb roasted chicken just as the deli was closing @ 8. Not usually a problem except some drunk as fuck 1992 throwback was trying to dicker with the high school chick behind the counter over the price of a piece of dessicated meatloaf. She's not authorized or willing to give Drunky McDrunkerson - Tipsy to his friends - a break. Then he tries to get her to give up a little extra loaf. Normally, a guy wants to get a little extra for his money I figure good for him. But when it means making me wait around, listening to some babbling brook dirty alcoholic skank who's too shitered to know or care just how boring and pathetic he is in his best concert tank top and pajama bottom combo, his red eyes barely able to focus, I say screw all that noise. So just about the time the negotiations hit UN ridiculous levels,
I offended the drunkard by suggesting we postpone talks until Kissinger frees up his schedule. -30-

My own personal Bigfoot

I see this Super Mario looking brother around town every once in a while & always try to get a shot of him. He is elusive this one. I had to follow him around the HyVee produce isle for over 20 minutes to get this pic unseen. Critics have accused me of faking this photo. Others have suggested this is just a man in a Mario suit. I hope to get a better shot of the mustache at some point in the future.

Socialism to the rescue... again

$700 BILLION of taxpayer money going to bail out the rapacious capitalist/corporatist hordes? Why not? Clearly helping people who have no health insurance is just encouraging them to be a drain on society, while helping people even President Chimp Apely, MBA recognizes as greedheads who've brought our economy very nearly to its knees is okey dokey because ... why? They've learned their lesson and have promised to be good from now on? Hell no. The only thing they've learned is they can be greedy to the point of treason and suffer NO CONSEQUENCES AT ALL. To the contrary, these banks are being rewarded for gross irresponsibility. So much for the free market. Can there be any greater example of the need for corporate regulation that actually keeps these mammon worshippers in line? There are laws to keep me from wreaking havok. Let's spread the law&order around a bit huh? -30-
