Death or Chipmunks? Death, please.

Yeah, so, this is an actual conversation that David and I had tonight:
David: “I can’t decide which one I want to see more: ‘New Moon’ or ‘Chipmunks: The Squeakuel’.”
Me: “Right now, I can’t decide if I want to marry you.”
This conversation occurred because there was a commercial for that dreadful “Chipmunks” movies on TV. Seriously, [...]

Open Letter to Carrie Prejean

Dear Carrie Prejean,
Please stop talking. I know you are doing the media rounds promoting your new book; a book that I’m sure you didn’t write nor will you ever read. Still, I beg you to just shut the hell up. Between your book tour and Sarah Palin’s book tour, I can’t read the news right [...]

But does this Droid speak Bocce?

Yeah, so, I found the Droid I’m looking for.
I guess all the advertising worked, because I just had to have a Droid phone. I am not a techie person. I had a regular flip phone a few hours ago. Four years ago, I was still working out while listening to a Sony Walkman … that [...]

This film is not rated due to graphic laziness

Yeah, so, I watched the latest trailer for James Cameron’s “Avatar.” I am not pleased.
A character in the movie actually utters the line, “You are not in Kansas anymore.” Ugh. It’s so disgustingly lazy. When a character says that line, they might as well be saying, “Our screenwriter gave up on this movie, but [...]

Nobody puts Patrick Swayze in a corner

Yeah, so, Patrick Swayze died yesterday after a noble battle with pancreatic cancer.
Now, I know that everyone will be re-watching “Dirty Dancing,” “Ghost” or “Point Break” or maybe even “Red Dawn” or “Road House” in his honor, but this is my favorite Patrick Swayze moment:

Thank you to Heidi for finding the video and posting it [...]

Back in my day, MTV played something called ‘music videos’

Yeah, so, David and I watched a little bit of the MTV Video Music Awards last night. I was surprised by how many of the songs I knew. Yay me! I’m relevant. Of course, I hadn’t seen most of the videos, because MTV doesn’t play music videos anymore. At this point, MTV is only qualified [...]

Beavis! Beavis!

Yeah, so, I totally miss Beavis and Butthead. Since “King of the Hill” got canceled” I think Mike Judge should think about making new episodes …

Open Letter to the Kardashians

Dear Kardashian Family:
I was just wondering … why are you famous again? Why do I keep seeing your name in the headlines? What have you done? Did you invent something? Make a great movie? Write a terrific book? Anything?
From what I have gathered, one of you made a sex tape and the rest of you [...]

Dogpatch fashion

Yeah, so, SFGate has an article today defining SF’s look neighborhood by neighborhood. I don’t think they nailed the neighborhoods by any means, but here’s what they had to say about Dogpatch:

Dogpatch
The look: Ironic slogan graphic T-shirt, jacket, slim jeans, baseball cap, colorful sneakers. “The Dogpatch look is casual hip,” said Mark Dwight of Rickshaw [...]

‘Alien’ prequel? Game over, man!

Yeah, so, I’m a little concerned that director Ridley Scott is planning to make an “Alien” prequel.
Anyone who knows me knows that “Aliens” is one of my all-time favorite movies. Basically, I think it’s just about perfect: Very exciting action scenes, villains that are horrifying, funny dialogue and characters you care about. Damn, I wish [...]
