Yet another review

nospam@example.com (The Mad Giggler) — Thu, 29 May 2008 06:57:00 -0600

In the spirit of BBSpot's movie trailer reviews, I present to you a review of a movie I have never seen and know almost nothing about: Sex & the City: the Movie.

First off, I think we have to judge this movie by its title. Obviously, any time you are promoting a Hollywood movie, if you can get the word "sex" involved, you will receive many accolades from your peers. People as a general rule like sex. One author on this blog seems to have a hang-up about it, but we'll leave Wren out of this review. . .for now. I would say that including the word "sex" in the title of this movie would have been more bold if they hadn't already made a TV series about it. But since this blog is famous for its sexy algorithms, I think I should include the word "sex" one more time in this paragraph: sex.

The second part of the title is "& the City." Now, I think this blog's audience has a generally split view on cities. Some of us love them as long as they stay out of our basements where the computers are, and some of us hate them and wish Nature would wreak vengeance upon them. Having seen what that would look like in I Am Legend, it doesn't seem like such a bad thing, particularly since I think "the City" is referring to New York. However, putting the first and second parts of the movie title together doesn't seem like a return to nature. Instead it seems far more likely to be invading your basement computer lair, so I definitely give that part of the title as a negative.

Finally, the last part of the movie title is ": the Movie." You'd think this would be fairly obvious, but I hesitate to overestimate the intelligence of anyone actually entering a theater to see this film. It's entirely possible that someone willing to purchase a ticket for this event thinks they are going to a peep show or an art display. Really, I can't say for sure what they're thinking even with the final part of the movie title tacked on. Given all these points, I'm still a little confused about whether or not to give this part of the movie a positive score. I flipped a coin and it came up with Lincoln smiling, so he must be a fan.

Overall, I give this movie that I have never seen and know almost nothing about one star out of five because the producers were bold enough to cast Sarah Jessica Parker. The only thing she has going for her is that she married Ferris Bueller, so putting her in a feature film shows a lot of cojones on the part of the film makers, earning them that lonesome star. Who knows? Maybe it'll be a hit in Texas.

Weezer!

Drive SOUTH out of Detroit, Michigan, USA and you'll end up in Canada.

Seriously. SOUTH! Look!

That gray line is the US/Canada border! DETROIT IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF IT!

Admittedly, you probably won't find this funny enough to justify the amount of time I spent crafting the image that conveys only the joke portion of /. - but I wanted to preserve it for my OWN sense of humour:

Aggresive Pizza Tipping

nospam@example.com (Radar) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 18:31:00 -0600

I have been a casual listener of the Nightside Project on KSL radio for about a year or so. Originally it used to be hosted by some high priced radio personality from LA (though he was originally raised here in Utah). Now it is hosted by Ethan Millard and Alex Kirry. I had been listening to the radio program for a while when I went to an engagement party for my friends Melanie and Skyler. At that party I was talking to Melanie's brother Alex and commented that he shared the exact name of a favorite radio host of mine. He paused and looked at me with an odd expression and said, "yeah, that's me."

I was a little surprised and ashamed (mainly because I used to call him Zach when he lived with Melanie - yeah my memory of names just stinks). But he was affable enough to put me at ease. Anyway, during their radio show, they have a segment called "Who asked you?" During that segment anyone can call up and get 15 seconds of free air time to say whatever they want. If it is interesting/funny/intelligent/thought-provoking then you get another 15 seconds. If not then you get cut off after your 15 seconds. Sometimes it is insightful, other times it is ridiculous, most of the time it is entertaining. This last friday night as I was driving from the racquetball court to Ming's Garden for dinner I got to hear that segment. One of the callers chose to spend his time rebuking poor pizza delivery tipping. After his time was finished the hosts of the show pointed out that the Nightside Project advocated the aggressive tipping of pizza delivery men. Give it a listen as I found it quite funny. Unfortunately you will have to listen to half of the segment before you get to it, but I think it is worth the time and the entire segment is only 8 min or so. And if you enjoy that, then I highly suggest listening to the radio show on a regular basis (KSL 1160AM and 102.7FM).

Mine'd be worth about $40

I don't know about you guys, but this seems like a poorly conceived idea to me...I dunno. Maybe I'm just not adventuresome enough. I definitely think Radar should buy it so that he can move far away to Australia! XD

Polls

We have a really funny guy here at i4 that posts polls to the fridge in the break room every morning. I found yesterday's to be worthy of posting here to our auspicious blog.

Assumption: Assume that you are put into a wooden box, similar to a coffin, and some good friends have given you the awesome choice of which 'creepy crawler' you would rather be covered in. They give you the choice of a 5-gallon bucket of snakes or an equal measurememt of spiders. Neither will bite you, but you will hang out with one of these pleasant options for 5 minutes.

Which would you rather?

Things to consider: Spiders have a bunch of legs, while snakes have none; snakes are horrible conversationalists, while spiders are always interrupting; also consider getting a new set of friends.

I will post the results from our break room on Monday.
