Everyone have a good Thanksgiving? Good.
I cannot wait to see everyone's lunch on Monday... lots and lots of turkey sandwiches... hello, Monotony.

Well, contrary to all my most trustworthy predictions, Joe Millionaire: An International Affair did not turn into Joe Millionaire: An International Incident and kick off the opening rounds of World War 3. The guy got the girl, and the girl got a pony. That pretty much sums it up.
Speaking of television: American Idol: Christmas Before Thanksgiving even? Aren't there UN tribunals for human rights set up to stop these kinds of things? If I have to next watch A Very State of the Union Address Christmas, I will claw my eyes out.

The Two Towers: Special Edition: REVIEW
Well, yes, I've watched most of it (finished the movie, now working on special features). Now I'm working on the cast commentary, the best part of Fellowship's special edition (other than maybe the deleted scenes themselves). Listening to Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd is hilarious. As for the movie itself, the scenes added I thought gave a whole lot more meaning to the whole thing. Plus, Faramir doesn't come off as a pompous asshole anymore! It actually seems like he's just fighting for his father's affection (just like Tolkien wrote it). Then there's some beautiful foreshadowing scenes, the best being the one with Gandalf and Aragorn on the 1st disc. What Gandalf says at the end of the scene put a huge smile on my face. The Ent Draught scene is back in the movie, along with an appearance by Old Man Willow (only he's in Fangorn this time). The special features, like the Taming of Smeagol, make you appreciate what kind of effort went into this series of movies. Andy Serkis amazes me. Also, find some of the HIDDEN FEATURES. There's one I found so far, and it was hilarious. I won't say anymore, cause I don't want to ruin anything else. I'll just say that the sheer beauty of both special editions has dazzled me. Do I sound mesmerized? That's cause I am. BUY THIS NOW.

 You are O-renshi, the Yakuza Crime lord who works for Bill and helped destroy "The Brides" wedding and almost kill her. Which Kill Bill Character are you: Volume 1 brought to you by Quizilla I guess I just love the chivalry of a samurai and the sword.  You are the blue line. You're a tough nut to crack. Truth is, you're just plain weird. You hop around town on a whim; you can't make up your mind about anything. What you need is to settle down for a minute or two. Take a deep breath and you'll be fine. Which Chicago 'El' line are you? brought to you by Quizilla That makes some sense, I guess... I'll put something better up later.

I really wish I could take credit for this one:
"Subject: Microsoft vs. GM For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo(COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon". In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):
I know GM didn't write those (company PR guys can hardly ever be that witty), but I know I didn't write em. |
