You Were Always On My Mind...

I swear I've had so many topics go through my head, but like a dummy I don't jot them down, so now when I'm obliged to click the bookmark in my favorites list that tells me I am supposed to update.....I have to sit and stare trying to remember what's been going on. Sadly, nothing, really.

So I bought 'Garden State' on DVD a few weeks ago. When I got it, I noticed it had a sticker on it that offered $5 back by mail when you but it AND either 'Napoleon Dynamite' or 'Pauly Shore Is Dead' on DVD and send the receipts and proof-of-purchases in. Well, they don't expect you to do this b/c 'Napoleon' came out a week earlier (and did NOT have the offer), and not too many people will buy 'Pauly Shore' when it comes out in a few weeks. Well, I did buy 'ND' and knew that if I could find my receipt I could get some cash back. So the other day whilst cleaning out my backseat I found the receipt for 'ND'. Well, the thing is that when I bought the movie, I also the same night bought a nose-hair trimmer. Now, I have NO problem whatsover with this fact; I will yell to anyone around that I have lots of nose hair. What I object to is that the packaging for the nose hair trimmer calls it a 'personal hair trimmer.' Now, please someone—does that not sound gross compared to a nose hair trimmmer? Ok, I do in fact have personal hair that needs trimming, but I don't need anything special for it. I'm a dude with nose hair and I want a nose hair trimmer to trim my dude nose hair. Therefore I have reservations about sending my receipt to these people. Well, that and I think I've lost my receipt for 'Garden State' by now.

I do have a deep respect for Johnny Depp, and I would marry Tim Burton, and I salivate when Johnny Depp and Tim Burton work together. 'Edward Scissorhands' was/is classic, 'Ed Wood' is by far the most entertaining biopic EVER (yes, 'Ray' was good.....but it was more dramatic than entertaining), and I'm willing to bet the magic will return with 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.' I do have a little suggestion for Mr. Burton: Hey, Tim.....you got Bill Murray for 'Ed Wood', and it was one of his best performances. So......why has this only been a one-time thing? (or have I missed one? I never saw 'Mars Attacks!' so I don't know if he had a cameo or anything. But dude, trust me.....even though Bill was snubbed an Oscar for that Lost in Japan movie....if you put him in another film he'll steal the show...again. Let him be an Oompa Loompa or something.

So, taking my man-crush too far, I have ordered the Complete Series of 'Spaced,' the TV show Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright (Star/writer and writer/Director of "Shaun of the Dead" respectively) did a few years ago in Britain. Oh, Nick Frost also has a part in the show as a military nut. And too further the sickness, I also got Nick Frost's own show "DANGER! 50,000 Volts!" The only problem: These shows are only available on DVD in Britain, so there is a chance that my DVD player won't play the region, OR that the whole PAL/NTSC thing is going to fuck me over. Oh well, you live, you learn, you laugh, you laugh some more.
