Where Is The Electric Card Thrower?

I guess I went a whole week without mentioning seeing "Jackass Number Two". Well, if I wouldn't have gone to the bathroom beforehand I would have indeen peed my pants. Likewise....if I would have eaten beforehand, I probably would have vomited on someone. Either way.....it was a hilarious display of genitalia and practical jokes. We got to see Wee-Man's weiner and Ryan Dunn's nutsack. And Rip Taylor made a second appearance in this film as well. Fun times for all.

Although, I will mention that..with these guys being well into their 30s...it seemed like not too many of them were too excited about the whole Jackass thing. I mean, it seemed like every other segment someone would be like 'no way....I'm not doing it', and at one point Pontius said that if he did something it would guarantee and 'out' for some other stunt in the future (granted, it was concerning drinking horse semen....but still). Therefore the only truly funny moments were just the practical jokes on each other--like the boxing glove from the hotel wall.....now THAT was hilarious. Also, Wee-man got some of the best lines and it made him look like a total goofball.

Why do those cheap "call this number/visit this website" commercials have to have bad actors? You know, they are always those personal injury case lawyers or cheap-rate checking websites with 'user' testimonials. They are really bad actors trying to make impossibly-written scripts sound like conversation. Makes me sick.

Cary Grant.

Ahhh, yes....what can I say but Amazing. Well, not so much Cary (as 'His Girl Friday' is one of my favorites) as Hitchcock.

I just finished 'North By Northwest' and was gripping my seat the entire time.....and laughing at all the right moments. I even teared up at the final scene (despite the quick [and almost too-sudden] transition from the the ultra-climax to the last little bit that makes you happy.

Oh yeah, and if they had cell phones back then....movies would be solved alot easier.

Alfred Hitchcock movies wouldn't be good at all.

I mean, if some of the great suspense films of all time took place in present day......a simple cell phone call would save about 1 1/2 hours of film.

Cary Grant: "Yeah, Mother? Look, I've just been kidnapped by two guys and taken to a mansion. Send the police before they make me drink alot of bourbon and try to drive me off a cliff. See Ya Later!" .....beep.

If you're bored tonight......go rent 'North By Northwest.' You'll be glad you did.

Sick Sick Sick

Tuesday I could feel the sickness coming on, and thought I had headed it off at the pass. Wednesday I was feeling better.....until I mowed my yard.

A month and a half too late.....all I did was stir up a whole bunch of dust and crap, and now my head feels like it's imploding. Stupid mowing. I feel really bad and it's the first time I've been sick away from home, so I'm really missing my mom's personal care. You see, when women get sick...they deal with it and move on. When men get sick, we whine like little babies and beg for someone to take care of us. That is why women are stronger people than men.

Alas.....I have no one to take care of me.

On a side note....now EVERYONE at the TV Station is sick. except maybe Vernon....I don't think he's caught anything yet.

On another semi-related note [impending sickness], LOST Season 3 stars in 2 weeks!!!!

Would A Policeman Arrest You For This?:

Ok, on a night there is a roadblock in a good spot in town...drive through it.

Then, go to a friends house and get in another vehicle. Then, either drive a back road or get in the back seat so you can get turned around to go through the roadblock THE SAME WAY YOU JUST CAME in order to get the same cop. Let him check your liscense (again) and drive to someone else's house and repeat.

See how long it takes before the cop says anything about you coming again....but in a different vehicle.

I think it's funny.

General Grievance:

Ok, so finally George Lucas gave in and released the un-messed-with Star Wars Trilogy on DVD.

Now, that's not pleased me as much as one thing about it: The widescreen versions have gold lettering on the side, so now they match the prequels whilst sitting on a DVD shelf. You see, the Original Trilogy Widescreen versions had silver print, and did not match the prequels (though it could be a good thing to set apart the originals' greatness).

Much to my anal retentive nature, I HATED THIS.

You see, I'm a huge stickler for DVD sets to have matching covers. Take for example the Seinfeld DVDs. They are different colors....but they have the same general design.

The one company that does not take any consideration in this is the Cartoon Network/Adult Swim lines. Sealab 2021 (which had an awesome first season package) did not follow suit. Out of all 4 volumes, they are all different. What makes it worse is that volume 4 is in a standard snap case so it totally doesn't work on a whole other level. [I don't own the Brak show or Aqua Teen...but they are different as well.]

Even The A-Team screwed things up. Season one was in a fold-out case.....and the other seasons were put in four slim cases tucked inside a box.

Arrested Development Season 3 (even though there were only 12 or so episodes) came in a standard snap case instead of two slim cases that they could have made match the first 2 seasons. (kind of like the Adventures of Pete & Pete DVDs.)

Dead Like Me is horrible.......the 2nd season cover looks like it's some kind of teen drama...and the font is TOTALLY different from first season (CHILLER compared to TIMES NEW ROMAN......what the fuck?!)

Now, films are a bit different.......sometimes. A notable example is Lord Of The Rings. Since it's basically all one movie.....the extended editions are boxed nicely, just with different colors to differentiate the 3 films. Another notable example is Wayne's World 1&2. Let's just hope the next Narnia film follows suit with it's special edition.

So PLEASE..if we are ever to function as a society again........please continue to make DVD sets as they were from volume one. Otherwise.....we'll be forced to boycott corporations.
