Cop A Squat, VA

I know I’ve neglected this place over the last week. I’ve been reminded to update by everyone ranging from my brother to my boss to my grandmother. I have plenty to discuss, including the movie review you’ve been waiting 8 months for, but something preempts all of that. It will just have to wait. This […]

August 18th - Now Better Than Christmas

Today is the release of Snakes on a Plane, and because I can’t see the movie today, the universe is making it up to me. First, today was my last day of work for the summer. (Well, technically - I will still be running TTT and working on its associated tasks, doing SGA stuff, and […]

Anacondas on an Airliner

49 minutes to Snakes on a Plane. I will not being seeing it until Monday because I’m waiting for a friend, so DON’T RUIN IT FOR ME! Seriously, I don’t want to hear anything about it this weekend.

A Lot Of Things You Don’t Care About

My Google Notebook is filling up with all the things I’ve noticed this week and not had a chance to write about. Here’s a quick explanation of why I wasn’t writing:

The usual at work
Moving my parents out
More work

Which also means I haven’t watched any new movies since the last set of reviews. And that I […]

Who’s Who And What’s What

Thursday I was supposed to go into DC and do two things with two different people. Which meant that I fell asleep at 5 pm and woke up Friday at 9:30 am. Apologies to Matt and Danny. It was inevitable after waking up at 5 am so many days in a row but still would […]

Disappointing Movies And Threat Level Red

Of course, the big news today is that British police moved last night on terrorists plotting to attack as many as 10 flights between the UK and US. [WP] The US has elevated the threat level to red for commercial flights from Britain to the US, which marks the first time the red level has […]

Bad Pun Edition: Beltway Carma & Joe Lieberman Connecti-cut From Senate

Driving on the beltway at 6:15 am, something unique happened. I was in the 2nd of 6 lanes (right to left). There was a white Acura (TL or TS) to my right about 20 feet behind me. To my left, another sedan was just ahead of me (i.e. his rear bumper was immediately ahead of […]

From The YFS? Files

Ladies and gentlemen, Churchill once said “The greatest argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.” From the secret archives of the “You’re Fucking Serious?” Files:

US Army: No one predicted sectarian violence in Iraq [WP] - Also, scientists are just discovering that the sky is sometimes a shade of blue, and […]

A Grammar Lesson

A History Of Violence was interesting but not really that satisfying. For the first half of the movie, it had a lot of promise, but it fell flat at the end. No real surprises, but it did have a very interesting dynamic between Viggo Mortenson and Maria Bello.
But Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? Amazing. Devotees […]

Blockbuster Has Awesome Marketing

So I got a card in the mail today - unlimited $1.99 rentals for all of August. In conjunction with the three at a time from Blockbuster.com and the two free in-store rental coupons, I now have 10 DVDs out, and it cost me $10.45. Really excited that the card worked with the two free […]
