    What to say…

     It’s a must see flick and like it or hate it, it will (most likely) stay with you and ruminate in yer skull for a while.  I’m no fan of DiCaprio but he’s his least annoying here.  The acting is well-done, though honestly there’s not much of it.  In particular, I enjoyed that kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun, Joseph Gordon Levitt and the British guy Tom Hardy.  Everyone else, such as Ellen Page is just ok.

     Basically, the movie is a giant mental exercise for the participants and us,the audience.  Could it have been tweaked here and there to make it even cooler?  Sure.  Is the dream worlds too realistic and not fanciful enough?  Yes.  Is the emotional connection missing?  I say yes.  Having said all that, it’s a great movie.  Christopher Nolan, the director, is a friggin’ genius (though Memento and Dark Knight are better films if you ask me).

You know yer a good director when yer worst film Insomnia (which is just ok) is still better than most of the shit Hollywood produces weekly…

     Most days not much happens.  Yesterday was jam packed.  I saw The Other Guys.  Walked in the insane heat outdoors.  Sweat so bad that both the front and back of my shirt was soaked (that’s never good) a half hour later.  Went to the Outback the steak house not the real one.  Man, that place is awesome.  I had a half-order of cheese-fries and a 6 ounce Outback special with a potato and broccoli (you know, to be healthy).  Sure the food’s greasy and probably bad for me, but damn it’s delicious…

    Got shanghaied into going to retail outlet though, that sucked.  Those places are no place for dudes.  The women, however, are in a blissful zombie-like fervor perusing the many racks of clothes.  I bought myself a pair of sneakers and a copy ofIn Brugues.

     All in all a pretty full day.

You know…I rarely go to the movies nowadays due to various facts such as shitty product produced by Hollywood and movies that frankly don’t really compel me to get my ass into a movie theater to see them (Most I’d say are ‘video rentals’ aka I’ll see them when/if I ever get around to see them). So, anyway, as a result this movie pissed me off.

It wasn’t horrible, per say, just not good. Not consistently funny, and worst of all not worth the price of admission…

So much for reviews. On Rottentomatoes.com it’s currently rating a 80%. It’s no where near that. Will Ferrell is usually gold but not here. I’ll put it to you this way: It makes Stepbrothers look like The Hangover.

There’s upcoming Green Hornet and Green Lantern movies, yet none for Lantern’s one time sidekick/full-time Justice League of America teammate Green Arrow.  What’s up with that?   I was first thinking it’s because he’s an archer, but Hawkeye is an archer and he’s gonna be in the upcoming Avengers movie so…I’m at a loss.

I’d assume it was because he has no powers but that’d actually help make the movie realistic.

Look how cool he is.  He’s gettin’ the shaft (no pun intended).

This is Mike Nolan, the Dolphins new defensive coordinator.  He has been known to work miracles.  He doesn’t have to do that per say, but a steady, consistent pas-rush and some decent safety play couldn’t hurt.

I can’t believe the season (ok, pre-season) is just a week away from this Saturday…

It’s been so long.  I miss football so much.  It’s sad really.

Finally a good meal at Chili’s.  Sadly though, it was take-out.  The last three times I’ve eaten there the food’s been crappy.  I’m hoping this is a fortuitous sign…

The media keeps talking about the Magic trading Vince Carter and Jameer Nelson for the Hornets’ Chris Paul (the best point guard in the league hands-down).  No offense to Vince and Jameer but where the frick do we sign???

Is it better or worse to be overcast and rainy over extremely hot and sunny?  I say the former any day…

I’m probably the only person (minus that crazy ass herself Whoopi Goldberg) that actually feels sorry for Mel Gibson.  Obviously, life has not gone his way for quite a number of years now (since Braveheart won Best Picture really…).  Obviously, he has long standing racist thoughts.  Obviously, mentally, he is not well…

Every time I make friends (which I rarely choose to bother doing) I am disappointed in them.  Mind you, I go in expecting them to drop me like a hot potato at some point.  Yet, I’m always surprised.  You’d think I’d learn by now…

I think ‘movies’ like this Cats and Dogs movie should replace water-boarding as our chief torture method.  I’d much rather be water-boarded all day long than sit through 90 minutes of that Cats and Dogs shit.

I can’t believe they make cake-flavored ice cream.  Couldn’t you just…I dunno…buy a cake (or make one) and eat it with ice cream?  What the Hell’s wrong with vanilla?  It’s delicious…

mmm…

vanilla…
