Wanna laugh?

Red — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:02:41 +0000

Chelsea Handler’s opening monologue last night (11/11/2009) had me laughing so hard that if I were older I might have peed myself:

I didn’t think anything could make me laugh harder.

Until…

I saw this scene in “The Ugly Truth”:

This movie is a keeper if for nothing else… That scene.

Relationships are best measured by farting

Stages of a Relationship can best be defined by farting.

From the movie “Love and Other Disasters“.

Hilarious!!!

Saturday, August 15 – “The Dark Knight“

Sunday, August 16 – “Kung Fu Panda“

Monday, August 17 – “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull“

No Concentration… AT ALL!! Update

Red — Tue, 05 May 2009 17:51:00 +0000

All of us are finding it a bit difficult to concentrate today. It is now 2:00 and no word yet on the RIFs.

Tensions are high and that seems to flowing into all sorts of other areas.

Then I noticed on Twitter that Dom DeLuise passed yesterday. So sad! He was only 75 but was suffering from kidney failure and respiratory issues.

We all started talking about this over the cubes and got us very easily disrupted us since it’s so difficult to concentrate anyhow.

This then led to a discussion of stars and plastic surgery starting with Burt Reynolds, since he is who you think of in conjunction with Dom DeLuise and those Cannonball Movies.

The discussion turned to Kenny Rogers and Roy Schneider’s bad plastic surgery.

Then someone said that Darryl Hannah had plastic surgery which led to this awful photo and somehow I came across an article on famous people who are borderline austistic.

Oh and then there was the discussion that Kelly McGillis recently came out in an article with SheWired.com. Kelly Reminds me of Kathleen Turner who has aged HORRIBLY! If you saw her in “Marley and Me” then you know what I’m talking about.

See what happens when you can’t concentrate!

**UPDATE**
I still have my job but many good people are leaving. It is very sad at work this week. Keep those who have lost their jobs in your prayers. It is happening too much lately and NO ONE is immune. Not even IT.

Watchmen and the Odd Couple

Red — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 00:56:36 +0000

Last night I took myself out to see the Watchmen movie. Great movie and unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I have to say Jackie Earle Haley was simply amazing! I was surprised this movie was rated R and Mini Red wanted to see it but after seeing it it had to be R. Besides some of the gore, which included some amazing special effects, Dr. Manhattan was naked most of the time. Plus there was that one sex scene with the hot hot hot Malin Akerman, as Silk Spectre II.

I had gotten a small popcorn and a water and after picking up my napkins I headed toward the theater. This is when I noticed the most interesting couple. I would not list either in the attractive category and she was at least a foot taller than him. They had their arms around each other and his was about at her ass level. At first I thought this was just as far as he could reach but then I realized he was cupping her right butt cheek then he rubbed it and smacked it. I couldn’t look away and hoped he would soon realize what he was doing and it was in public. Just as he stopped she promptly kissed the very top of his head, because she could.

Although his hand on her ass was a bit disturbing I enjoyed seeing a couple so oddly matched but obviously so in love. They didn’t mind that they weren’t the norm and seemed to thrive on it.

The New Doris Day!!!

Red — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 02:54:09 +0000

Tonight Mini Red and I were watching the movie I.Q.

Meg Ryan is absolutely adorable in this flick and then it hits me… Meg Ryan is the new Doris Day.

See!

Now that’s a good summer flick

Red — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:45:09 +0000

I Love this poster! I love how close up it is. The view of the city in his glasses, his scruffiness and lets not forget his lips. It speaks volumes.

Minnie Red and I saw this movie and this is how a summer movie should be. It had everything… Comedy, Action and a bit of drama.

I’m about to lose THOUSANDS of hours

Red — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 02:00:14 +0000

And now… So will YOU!

Check this out:

Shining (Romantic Comedy)

Evidently, this trailer started it all.

“The trailer that started it all. Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror film starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall becomes a feel-good movie about a writer struggling to find his muse and a boy lonely for a father. “

For more check out The Trailer Mash.

Electric Boobs?

This has to be one of my favorite scenes of all time. (27 Dresses)

Make your own damn opinion

Red — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:41:28 +0000

There’s a new movie coming out called The Golden Compass. It looks fascinating but then I hear it’s based on a series of books with anti-religious themes.

Well, the cafeteria Catholic in me thinks, “No way I’m not going to support that.” Mini Red and I briefly discussed this and scoffed at the movie vowing not to see it.

Whenever we see trailers, though, we are enthralled so I decided to look further.

I found an article the other day (I can’t remember where it is now), which tells how the author, Philip Pullman, is atheist but his stories have no such basis. It seems The Catholic League says The Golden Compass is atheism for kids.

I believe there is a higher power and I also believe we live in a free country to allow everyone to believe differently. I don’t believe in pushing my beliefs on others yet we can all share and maybe learn from each other, hence the blogger world.

There are religions out there that are big on pushing their beliefs. They have young members devote years of their life to the religion and go on missions. Helping others is one thing but going door to door and pushing your beliefs on someone is just annoying.

Another thing that annoys me are those who mock what others believe such as Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I know I know this could turn into a mess of a post on religion and such but I’m not arguing about everyone beliefs here. What I am talking about is taking in all of the facts and making your own decision rather than let anyone push their opinion on you not-to-mention respecting others opinions and beliefs.

This evening I was thinking about it again and I got a bit annoyed. The movie isn’t going to make me an atheist. If that’s the case then couldn’t this argument be made towards any other children’s fantasy book out there? Is Harry Potter written with Jesus in mind as he learns to use the gifts that have been bestowed upon him? That’s preposterous!

I decided to google this again and found an excerpt from the Today Show. Along with it was a video of the interview and Pullman said, “I always mistrust people who tell us how we should understand something.” I think that is a great statement.

Maybe this is just my excuse for seeing the movie or maybe I just came to my senses. Either way I’m not letting anyone decide anything for me. I will form my own opinion and if it takes two minutes, two, days or even two years then so be it.

Mini Red and I will be checking out this flick.

On another note: I keep having a hard time spelling atheist. Isn’t the rule “I before E except after C”? So then shouldn’t it be athiest not atheist?
