My bitch 'bout Brokeback Mountain
Here's the problem with the film Brokeback Mountain. No, not that it's about gay cowboys. The film itself was pretty damn good. Well directed. Subtlties in the acting choices. Heath Ledger's mumbly voice was a bit annoying, but you can get past that. And the cinematography was gorgeous.
So, you're thinking now that I've stuck up for this film and left little to hate. The film is good. The press and the promotion of the film is absolutely ridiculous. In the television/radio trailers, it claim that this film will impact every movies ever made after this one. What the fuck does that mean? Did you do something different in the technical aspect? No. It looked like a pretty technically simple film if you ask me. So, I'm not sure what they are talking about. 2nd bullshit statement: "Heath Ledger's performance is what Hollywood history is made of" I'm pretty sure that is a quote...yeah it's a gutsy roll to take for a Hollywood Beefcake from down under. But, he's not the 1st straight guy to ever play gay in a film. Hugh Grant did it 10 years ago as a gay man living in the 1600-1700's but had to hide it to survive. Similar premise. Hell the gay guys on 6 Feet Under aren't gay. Nobody thought that was great show for that reason alone. I just don't get it.
The promotion of the film is Bogus and leads people astray. I'm not sure it helps the film. This is the type of film where you need to let people deal with it in their own way. Let them see it for what it is. A painful love story about gay cowboys that is beautifully shot and directed. This bogus promo campaign is just to get people to the box office. And in that I feel cheated by the studio. I feel like they just want my $$$ instead of having me enjoy what otherwise is a pretty good film.
hauck!!tooooo!!!

Do you ever feel like the days are dragging on? I find taking a three hour nap helps make the day go quicker. This should only be done on days you are not working.
- When A Stranger Never Sees The Same Trailer Twice
The title of this article pretty much says it all. A brand new trailer for When A Stranger Calls (WASC) is playing right now as I type this sentence. The one good thing about a thousand different cuts of the trailer is that I've seen the whole movie. I can spend $15 on something important now like the Final Destination 20 DVD. This time around 6 friends escape barely dying from Mexican stabbing weasels. I can buy the Death To Smoochy DVD with the change. My favorite cut is the happy go lucky version. For a second I thought WASC wasn't going to be a horror movie like the 100 other trailers before that one made it out to be.
The people behind When A Stranger Calls might as well take it one step further to show us how bad the movie is going to be by merchandising with a fast food chain. This guarantees the movie is going to be horrible. We have the new Star Wars movies as great examples of fast food chain downfalls.
A new trailer is playing right now. Ohhhhh the movie is actually a romantic comedy. Mark Ruffalo is the killer! He's such an awkward dream boat.

- Nicholas Cage ???
Why does Nicholas Cage always get to play Good-Looking Badasses?
Think about it. National Treasure, Con Air, The Rock. He's got the cool lines, a hot girlfriend. It doesn't add up.I mean, I understand how Nicholas Cage, the actor, could have a hot girlfriend, cause he's a huge celebrity and he's rich, but the guy he's playing in the movie isn't a big time Hollywood Actor, he's some dipshit scientist or something.
Yet this guy continues to get the role as the big romantic lead as the good-looking badass. The main problem with that. He's not good looking, or a badass. It's like having Dakota Fanning play The Predator. Which is ridiculous. We all know the only person that can play the predator is Whoopie Goldberg.
I can only think of one movie in which Nicholas Cage was good looking, and that was the one where he was wearing John Travolta's face. Wake up, people!

- C'mon ESPN
Who decided Linda Cohn was the sportscaster that most represented the millennial generation. How is a 43 year old woman the face of ESPN's X-Games coverage. If I wanted to see a middle aged woman in Ugg boots, Linda. I would travel back to 2004 when Ugg boots were still in style and go anywhere because those things were everywhere and on everyone. That was 2004 though. If you don't even know when to jump on trend bandwagons when it's still trendy, you aren't allowed to pretend you have insights about the world's hottest mountain boarder, if I'm not.

- Blogs are stupid
I hate blogs. Blogs killed my father. My dad was surfing the net one day minding his own business and all of a sudden a gang of blogs attacked him and slit his throat. I vowed to avenge his death and I will not vow to do anything else until that vow is fulfilled. I will not even vow to eat breakfast because my other vow is much more important. Even though doctors say that a breakfast vow is the most important vow of the day. I hate doctors. I vow never to be one. But sometimes my friends and I dress up like doctors and go to a bar that is near a hospital to pick up chicks. Chicks are dumb. I vow to never tell them any vows. Vows are stupid. It's sounds like vowels. But you can't buy a vow.
