I went and saw Iron Man last night at a sneak preview at my local theater. In a nutshell, if you like these types of movies (action/adventure, heroic man vs. evil man, fate of the world at stake), you’re going to love this movie. If, on the other hand, you’d rather see something which is [...]

According to this test, the Marvel Superhero I most resemble is:

I saw the first movie in this series on cable awhile back and wasn’t too impressed. The sequel looks much better, however. Look below the fold to see a still photo from the new one.

I’ve been listening to Rock ‘n Roll since the 60’s. I’ve heard it all; The Beatles, The Animals, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, Rush, Grand Funk Railroad, Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd. The list goes on and on. Yet, as good of an idea the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame was, it has failed to live [...]

So, there you are watching The Godfather on TNT. Michael Corleone is in Italy, and you’re following the dialog by reading the captions. All of sudden, you can’t see the captions, because TNT is playing an advertisement for some other program which will be on a few days from today. Characters from this other show [...]

When I was a child, I once watched a television show which was showing how a candy company made taffy. I was intrigued by the way the worker pulled and twisted and otherwise mangled the taffy to get it to turn out the way he wanted it. When he was finished, it didn’t look anything [...]

Since I am currently on the waiting list to receive a kidney transplant, I found this article from The Australian very disturbing:
DUTCH broadcaster BNN plans to air a television show next week in which a terminally ill woman will decide who out of three young patients will get her kidney.
Viewers will be able to advise [...]

Now that’s funny, I don’t care who you are!

I don’t know about you, but I am slowly going crazy over the wall-to-wall, 24/7/365 coverage of the death of Anna Nicole Smith. I tune into Fox News, hoping to find out about what is going on in Iraq or with politics and all I get is live coverage of some hearing in Florida over [...]

Singer and liberal political activist Barbra Streisand can’t seem to do anything these days without blaming all of the world’s problems on President Bush:
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Barbra Streisand opened her first U.S. tour in 12 years on Wednesday with a show that ridiculed her political nemesis, President George W. Bush.
Before a capacity crowd of some [...]

Still working on the two new call centers at work. Programming telephone systems can be fun, but it is a lot of work the way we are setting these places up. Will be working on these two centers for another week and a half at least.
Will somebody please tell North Korea that unless they become [...]

The Dixie Chicks are back, but it doesn’t look like they’ve learned anything since being relegated to the cellar for insulting the President in front of foreign crowds:
The Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines apologized for disrespecting President George W. Bush during a London concert in 2003. But now, she’s taking it back.
“I don’t feel that way [...]

It’s beginning to look like Barbra Streisand doesn’t like having the tables turned on her:
Normally, I would not dignify vicious, mean-spirited mythology masquerading as biography.
But it seems that this latest rehashing of other unauthorized biographies is getting a lot of attention.
Who is the person described in this book?
From what has been told to me, certainly [...]

Looks like the stoners and burn-outs from the 60’s and 70’s are going to throw a hissy fit in print:

Funny, I don’t remember seeing magazine covers like this when Carter was killing the economy with double-digit inflation. Here’s Drudge:
“George W. Bush’s presidency appears headed for colossal historical disgrace.”
So declares ROLLING STONE magazine in a planned [...]

I received a comment on yesterday’s post regarding the results of last week’s CD Poll:
Funny that your site is a conservative forum, touting conservative family value viewpoints. Equally funny that you run a poll asking about everyone’s favorite Soprano’s episode.
Are Mafia values the type of thing you allow everyone in your household to become exposed [...]
