Killing yourself to live
Friday, June 26th, 2009
Work production has slowed to -18 as of this week. I got some sort of virus last Saturday and now know what the future holds as an ailing old person. It ain’t pretty. I had the worst fever of my life, migraines, a sinus infection, coughing blood, the works. Not sure what the cause was, but it put me on my ass and seriously forced me to think about my life.
Since my neighbor has finally caught on to me stealing internet I was out this week. And since I had no internet I couldn’t even look up the Road Runner Guy’s Digits to get my own. That is some pathetic shit. But, for some reason I was able to go to Safeway and purchase copious amounts of orange juice and Odwalla Products. They also got a 1$ DVD Rental Machine there too. I’ve been holding out on next flix, because my queue tends to consume my life. Then I went ahead and spend 10$ on that machine in 3 days go figure. Anyway, I did some catching up and here are some quick reviews.
Barbershop - “Damn, damn, damn, damn!” - Anthony Anderson. Classic.
The Curious Case of Benjmin Button - I didn’t know it was an F Scott Fitzgerald short story? Probably cause I don’t read. It was pretty good. Long, but good. I don’t think anyone can out act Cate Blanchett. She is tops. My favorite line in the movie is “I’m 7. I just look old.”
Revolutionary Road - Damn, that is some intense shit. I felt bad for Leo Di the entire time, K-dubs done lost her damn mind.
Twilight - Now I know why Donald guys moved to Seattle! When I watch Twilight I like to pretend that Jason is the vampire dude and Donald is Kristen Stewart. check out Jason’ Coffin’s summer joints here with some online exclusives. I know this movie was for kids, but man the male lead was a stinker. I seen better acting in tough actin’ Tanactin. Too many, “I am not strong enough to love you” *whimper - cowl* I can imagine 10 year olds being like, “damn, that is haggard”. In all fairness I did watch it after Rev Road. They should have made Kristen Stewart and that one dude watch Rev Road before filming.
The House Bunny - I was really looking forward to this movie cause Anna Farvis kills, but the damn DVD was scratched up. I had to call the support hotline. They refunded my $1, but I never got to see it. Suck.
Kung Fu Panda - At this point I was getting a little desperate. The well had run dry. Of the remaining choices I had either seen them, or they were so bootleg that not even I would watch them. Kung Fun Panda ended up being the best movie of the bunch. Jack Black is this panda who works in a noodle shop, but loves kung fu. He gets choosen accidently as the Dragon Warrior that is suppose to save the village from this bad guy. It’s tight. Twilight writers should take some tips on comedy. At this point my fever started coming down, Thank God. My fever was probably about 104 when I saw Rev Road. It hits you hard bro.
Yes Man - Jim Carrey’s best movie in a long time. He is this loser guy that goes to a motivational speaking seminar and gets dared to say yes to everything people ask him. It’s pretty mental. I was telling Luke that my favorite scene is when Luis Guzman is on the edge of building ready to jump. Jim Carrey bolts up there and starts playing that Third Eye Blind song Jumper and talks him off the ledge. Zoey Disneychannel is the female lead, she is boring.
T-shirts updates next week! I hope. damn, damn, damn.
