The Dark Knight

The trailer for the Dark Knight is supposed to premier with I Am Legend, which I think opened today. Or next week, I'm not really sure. Anyway, here is the trailer which, as the article points out, "Someone who caught an early screening was kind enough to film it using his own butt."

Ron Paul is a Republican

I thought he was different. Seriously. I mean, I knew he was a republican, but he is really a republican. He spoke in Fallon last night. Paul and I were there listening and listening to him for close to an hour I realized that he isn't really different from other republicans. He just is a little more honest than his compatriots. Which is refreshing, but I was almost beginning to believe the hype and thought I might vote for the dude. And now, safely, I am escaped from such a follie.

It also makes me think I should probably sit down and really listen to a few more of these supposed candidates a little more closely and see what they are really saying. Hear. Hear what they are really seeing. Saying. Yeah. I'm tired. Shut up.

You know who else has hands? The Devil!

If anyone is interested, Rottentomatoes has released the first ten minutes of Walk Hard: The Dewy Cox Story for your viewing pleasure.

Muttonhead Quail Movement

My favorite is "Reuters, the reigning back-to-back champ in this category, didn’t win but did come in second place by calling the Muttahida Quami Movement the 'Muttonhead Quail Movement.'

Now for something completely the same

Fallon is surprisingly not driving me mad. I thought it would. Especially considering I've been staying with my mom for over a month now. Well over a month. Like a month and a half. My god, I am such a fucking loser. Over half of recent college grads these days end up moving back in with their parents for a while. I think the reason is that people don't want a shitty job and end up needing to save all their money for a while whilst they search for a non-shitty job. Or at least that is how I perceive it as that is why I am back.

My hands are getting beaten up by the cat, who has decided that it is a good idea to claw into them and try to bite them. If I could backhand a cat, I totally would. And as funny as that would be to see a kitty fly across the room while I called out "bite this!" in my terminator voice, I just can't do that. Mostly because the cat would probably be broken. Also that is a really mean thing to do. And I am in no way advocating violence towards animals. Just theoretical violence. Fantasy violence. Like in the movies!

I left my laptop in the car last night and now it is cold and getting condensation on it. I imagine this is a bad thing.

I think that if people are allowed to play christmas music non-stop from a little before thanksgiving to a little after christmas I should be allowed to blare an air horn as often as I want in the places doing that.

There are two cops within about two feet of me. This is kind of unnerving. I am in a coffee shop so its not odd to see them here. Just that the table they sat at is right next to mine and I can hear them talking over my headphones. And they can probably read this if they want to. Or at least the one on my side. Scary. Moving on.

If you've got a few extra dollars or know of some other way of getting musical cd's you should check out the soundtrack to "Walk Hard: The Dewy Cox Story." Its a satire of the musical biopics like Walk The Line and Ray. But they got a lot of people together to write the music for this supposed musicians entire career. So there is a lot of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash and 60 political and 70s dance, as well as many other styles, that have 'inspired' the songs. Of course its a bit silly. But there is some really solid work on it. I imagine when that movie comes out there are going to be a lot of people talking about the music. Probably more so than the movie itself, although that movie does look awesome. Granted I know that eventually I will tire of this soundtrack, mostly because I've been listening to it over and over, which is what I do with lots of music a couple weeks before I get tired of hearing it, but still, its good.

Those cops left so I think it might be time for me to get to work on my actually project I came in here for. Which is an ultra-secret, mega-mysterious writing project. Pretty tantalizing, eh?

Age of Scientific Terrorism

You might be wondering what 'scientific terrorism' is. Well, according to this man:






It is, aparently, when someone with a Ph.D. tells you that your "facts" aren't supported anywhere. Ever. I mean, I think thats what he's getting at. You can try to figure it out. Read all about how the 'scientific elite' think "That you are incapable of making “complicated” health and safety decisions affecting you and your family’s health, which decisions are better left in the hands of the educated elite."

"You may have a four year degree, a Ph.D., four years of sub-specialty training, and eight years experience on top of that. But I read an article on webMD!"

The best part about that article, however, is how much that guy looks like this guy:

Greatest correction of all time.

From the Washington Post

Correction to This Article
A May 1 Magazine article about Savoonga, Alaska, incorrectly attributed a remark from the movie "Jaws" to Richard Dreyfuss. It was Roy Scheider's character who spoke of needing a bigger boat.

They came for the teachers, I said nothing...

Everyday I read a couple dozen articles online and scan the headlines of hundreds more. But rarely do any of them move me to want to do anything about them. This is one of those cases as a teacher is arrested for making idiotic remarks on a blog from his home computer.

I hate anything that threatens free speech. I was debating this a little with paul not too long ago saying that I didn't think networks should have the right to even fire on air people for saying racist/insensitive remarks. At the time the thing was Dog the bounty hunter. But that is old news now. And at least in that case it wasn't government interference, merely a network wanting to distance itself from that sort of thing. Fine. Whatever. Fire the fucking teacher and see if I care. But arrest him? Arrest? For saying vaughly threatening things on a blog? An annoynomus blog?

Time has come to end this shit. I post about it here knowing it won't be read by that many people but I am outraged, outraged I say! I can't live in a society without free speech and I ain't moving to canada so we need to fix this.

Earlier I tracked down the phone number and home addresses of the Chief of Police and Mayor of West Bend. I had them up for a while but took them down as I've decided that I would rather, if anyone cares, have the address for the senator as this is more a matter of national importance than of a small Wisconsin town. Which you can do Here and Here


I realize this is more or less a futile attempt, but I can't sit idly while people are being arrested for saying shit. I almost hope someone tries to arrest me for saying shit so that I can be as loud as humanly possibly about why the fuck they have no right to do that shit.

The Hobbit: IN 3D!!

Peter Jackson is going to direct the Hobbit. I know, its been said before. But this time it is for realz. I think.

Anyway, its going to be in 3-D, which is fucking awesome and maybe a little frightning since, well, 3-D movies are directed at kids generally and it would be easy to push the Hobbit to be more of a kids movie or more of an adult movie, whichever way they felt like going, so its probably going to be kids.

The real news is that New Line is going to convert the Trilogy to 3-D for 2012 to 2014 releases. Fucking rocking.

But hte best part of the article is this photo:



Which I am fairly certain is Peter Jacksons photo for Bear's Life Magazine (which according to Kevin Smith had Kevin Smith on the cover recently! So maybe that isn't as far fetched as it might sound)

After several hours of deliberation I've decided that the original post here was no good as it said somethings that whitey just wasn't ready to hear. It also said some things that African-americany wasn't ready to hear.
