I would like to thank you for giving me the strength to write 300 posts over the last couple of years. Oh, and happy birthday Will Farrell. Has it been 40 years already?

Screen Writing for Dummies Idiots

In screen writing this week one of my classmates pitched a complete rip off of the movie Barbershop. I was going to call him on it but he did replace Ice Cube with Paul Walker and substitute a Spa for the Barbershop. Pure genius I tell ya!

13 Year old Truck - Car Mitzvah

After waiting 13 years I finally grew some pubes, I mean got the truck I coveted since I was 19 years old. It was delivered the other day and I am beyond happy. Sure, I overpaid and sure, when I drive on the highway it feels like I am bobble head toy, but that has not made my love waver. I really need to work on my neck muscles by the way.

More than meets the eye

There is a great article in Slate about how the original Transformers movie is far superior to the new one that came out today. I have to agree without even seeing the new one. After all, the original was not only Orson Welles' last movie, but Scatman Crothers' and Judd Nelson's as well. So many actors died in the months after production wrapped, whether it be to cancer or just bad career choices.

The movie caused me great distress like it did for most kids in 1986. I mean Optimus was dead almost instantly. Sadly, my distress came from wondering if my grandmother had passed away around minute thirteen. She closed her eyes as we sat down in the darkened theater. Until I heard snoring coming from the seat next to me midway through the movie, I thought Unicron had taken another great. Grams was eventually taken during the rise of Cobra-La a few years later.
