And Hella Sick

I think this is my third cold in 3 years. Which is a pretty good track record. I blame children on this one. Specifically, the ones that take tours at the Wisconsin Historical Museum where Alison works. As if I didn't cringe at the sight of the little halflings to begin with - this latest ailment is just a reminder of truly noxious they are.

Accuse me of being this guy if you must:


But I'm not having any of the little germ bags.

Paul = Hella Funny.

Eunicycle! Come on, how great is that?!? Thank you, PM, you have done good work this day.

Extreme Eunicycle

Man, that extreme cycling look like it's hell on the junk. We're going down to Chicago to see some friends off and will be back tomorrow night. Until then, ride responsibly.

One more...

This may be superior to my previous uni link, but something's missing... Is it the throbbing techno beat? Or the total nerdular self-regard? InfiniteDriveway, I'm just not sure. Two questions remain:

Where was this filmed? I was thinking Lowell, MA, but those cars don't look American... [oh, thanks end-of-video-clip for spoiling the mystery--apparently this was filmed in Great Britain, or somewhere else that has a locality named Midlands]

Do these Unicyclers have balls? Pretty much everything they're doing looks horrendously, extraordinarily painful, and yet...they come back for more! Color me flummoxed!

Extreme Unicycle?!?

This is reasonably cool, but more importantly, it is one of the most profoundly nerdy things I have ever seen in my life.

Extreme Unicycle Go!!!!!


PS--just judging from what I've seen on YouTube, there is a whole Extreme Unicycling Community out there. Thank God for awkward people devoted to their art.

I finally made room on my hard drive to upload photos

Ato invited us to his Business School Ball Formal.....

Dong Dong

If you love Law & Order (Original and SVU versions only please) as much as Paul and I love Law & Order, you will get a kick out of this.

Fake band names, meet fake career

Those of you may remember that a few years ago I had been collecting fake band names and (back when I had free time) creating some fake album covers for those bands. [note: see long-neglected section on your left]. Well today on boingboing I found something that really puts me to shame: Mingering Mike, who created 50 albums, including cardboard records, for his fake career as a recording artist. Click on the link above for a bit more information and a link to an NPR story.

My two cents on the French elections (second round), even though I'm not French and never will be

Et merde!!!!!!

Oh Yeah!!!

I forgot about King Kong!!! What a load of mule testicles! The "fighting three Tyrannosaurs" scene was pretty sweet, but the rest... If I never see another guy eaten by an uncircumcised penis-worm, it'll be too soon. [gag]

More Bad Movies

I can vouch for what Andy's saying there. Those three movies kind of sucked on whole, but the Attack of the Clones was the "best" one. There's some other pretty bad ones out there I've seen (on the premium channels).

Elektra - not since the last season of Alias has Jennifer Garner been in something so shitty, it makes the second to last season of Alias seem good.

Fantastic Four - It's a tough comic book to convert to a movie, because there's so many characters to juggle, and the people that make Fantastic Four movies are borderline retarded
. Seriously, Dr. Doom needs to be more than a corporate baddy with narcissism - he's what makes the comics and they screwed him up in the movie.

Chronicles of Riddick - a follow up to the pretty good Pitch Black, this movie sucks all the life out of the would-be Riddick movie franchise and replaces it with special effects.

DOOM - wow. You'd figure that 75 minutes of the Rock kicking the shit out demons would be a pretty good movie. And it is, until you insert the ensemble of crap actors, the terrible plot, and the "twist" that you just don't give a damn about. Subtraction by addition in this one.

The Matrix Revolutions - I still don't know what happened. I'm not sure why you set up characters for two movies and then spend less than half of the third movie with them. Unless it's because you're stupid. That's a pretty good explanation.

King Kong - I like that Peter Jackson, but this was a stinking 4 hour pile of monkey crap. Top to bottom, bad.

That's all I can pull out of my suppressed memories for now.

Bad Movies?!?

Why didn't you say so?!?

...actually, I've liked most of the movies I've seen lately. I think with money being a little tight in grad school I've been less likely to go to a movie I feel iffy about. The last really bad movie I saw (besides Little Children, which was just kind of awkward and a little silly) was almost three years ago: Star Wars III: The Suckening. Granted, it was the best of the three prequels (and I say that without having seen the second one, that Clone thing--sometimes you just know), but that was because it had no other option. It was the big payoff of the entire first (second?) trilogy, the scene-setter for #'s 4-6, the answer to an entire childhood's worth of speculation. And it didn't even come close to living up. Plus, it suffered completely from having to cram in the only story of the first three movies worth telling into one film (Midichlorians anyone? Jar-jar Binks?). Frankly, Lucas (and the nation at large) would have been better served if the events of the 3rd movie had been stretched out over three movies, with perfunctory flashbacks to young Anakin's podrace, Yoda with a lightsaber, and the sparse handful of scenes in the first two movies that were worth seeing. What a steaming pile of a movie.

Movies

As you know, I love to talk about movies, and I also find a guilty pleasure about complaining about some of them. So I will gladly add to the list. The question is, how and where to stop...

-Speaking of Zach Braff, is anybody else squirming when they see the trailers on tv for The Ex? What was Jason Bateman thinking??

-Speaking of Jason Bateman, he stars in the worst chick-flick (might as well call it a slut-flick) The Sweetest Thing. Yes, I am embarrassed to have even seen it, but I blame it on insomnia.

-Speaking of insomnia, this leads me to Night: I caught parts of Signs the other night, and it actually isn't as good as I remembered.

-And now, to link both trailers that mislead you into going to see a movie and Night: Mr. Shyamalan, you owe me $8.50 and 2 and a half hours of my life for the god-awful Lady in the Water. You owe Hunter and Alhawk, too. (It's official, I'm placing Shyamalan in the same one-hit wonder category as Ron Howard, the one somehow nobody in Hollywood noticed and they keep making movies--though Howard won brownie points for Arrested Development, but that it's a tv series, not a movie).
