Movie Preview: Delta Farce

Delta Farce – NAY

Two hunters (Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy) who are good with guns get picked up by the Feds to be deployed to Iraq. The plane actually drops them off in Mexico which they think is Iraq and go on to deal with Mexican outlaws. The leader of the gang is named Carlos Santana and so far the most popular joke is for everyone to say “the singer?” after hearing his name said. And no it isn’t the singer, but the baddest outlaw in all of Mexico.

I think that says it all. No preview review needed. It’s just destined to be a bad movie. If you dont own a farm or live in the south, you more than likely won’t get any of the humor.

Movie Preview: Georgia Rule

Georgia Rule – NAY

A “chick flick” opens up today in theaters starring everyones favorite (and I use that word loosely) redhead Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay plays a spoiled, alcoholic, and mean brat in the movie (obviously not a stretch for her). She breaks the last rule in her mom’s house and her mom sends her off to live with her grandmother for a stern talking to.

Now while I was watching the previews for this movie, I thought, okay this movie doesn’t look so bad. While reading the plot summary for this movie I thought, hey I could probably reccomend this movie to my grandma! However, this movie is rated R and full of just crude humor. The first few keywords on IMDB are Premarital Sex, Teen, and Profanity

This movie also stars Jane Fonda (you may remember her latest disaster “Monster-In-Law” with J-Lo). She is obviously trying to shake the kinks from her long movie break. Jane Fonda’s character is Lindsays grandmother who has a reputation of being tough.

This movie had potential of being a cute and crazy family lovestory but it’s R rating is going to make it tough for all of Lindsay’s young fans to go see it. They are going to have to bring their moms and even I wouldn’t take my mom to see this movie.

Movie Preview: 28 Weeks Later

28 Weeks Later – YAY

The latest in zombie flicks hits the big screen today. This movie is the sequel to “28 Days Later” Plot is pretty simple, it since it happens after the first movie. In 28 Days Later, it was your typical zombie movie. Day 1: Exposure. Day 3: Infection. Day 8: Epidemic. Day 20: Evacuation…..28 days later population: zero.

This movie happens after the initial outbreak and reconstruction is happening. The army has been brought and all seems well until that pesky zombie virus finds its way back. Its your typical gory zombie flick however these zombies move much faster than the traditional Romero zombie.

If you like zombie movies, see this movie.
If you like action movies, see this movie.
If you like good movies, see this movie.

Note to self: When crossing the street, make sure Rosie isn’t coming. (Wednesday’s gossip that I promised)

Rosie O’Donnell – NAY

“Many people drive drunk. If you asked people in this audience how many have ever driven when they’ve had too much to drink, nearly everybody would raise their hand. It doesn’t make it the right thing to do, and hopefully as you get to be an adult… I remember being 21 years old coming home from gigs, totally not in any capacity to drive. Thank God I didn’t kill anyone.”

Man, she just never knows when to shut up.

The always controversial Rosie O’Donnell had that wonderful little tidbit to say in regards to people needing to give America’s new hero Paris Hilton a break.

Rosie, bring back the koosh. People liked you better when you were heavy and “straight.”

Thank you Barbara for not caving into her suggested retail price to stay on the show another year.

Verizon is Judas in disguise.

Verizon – NAY

Has anyone else noticed that since James Earl Jones left his spot as the Verizon spokesperson that the company has gotten meaner in general? I learned today from The Morning Paper that Verizon is fighting a lawsuit that is pretty much about Verizion selling it’s customers down the river, and the customers fighting back. For those who don’t know, Verizon handed over it’s customers phone records to the NSA. They just put out a statement saying that it is Verizon’s first amendment right to turn over your private records to the government.They claim it falls within the rights of free speech. For the full story feel free to go Crooks and Liars

So I guess my advice to Verizion users, keep the dirty talking to a minimum, and if something is secret, go back to snail mail.
Ta,
Jimi

Happy Birthday Helvetica

Helvetica – YAY

That’s right, fonts have birthdays too. This font happens to be a fan favorite of mine mainly because of its clean look. Many companies love this simple look and it also looks consumer friendly. Helvetica was created by Miedinger with Eduard Hoffmann at the Haas’sche Schriftgießerei (Haas type foundry) of Münchenstein, Switzerland.That just means we can thank the Swiss for this very trendy font face. The Swiss were so proud of their font that the guy who came up with it named it Helvetica which was derived from Helvetia, the Latin name for Switzerland.

In honor of this font, this entire post is in Helvetica.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELVETICA!
Love always,
Jimi

Lo siento. (I’m Sorry)

New Music Tuesdays – Lights Resolve (Prelude)

Prelude – YAY

Finally a band gets it right. It’s been a while since i’ve gotten to listen to a band that get’s it right. Light’s Resolve is a three piece that comes straight from the heart of Long Island. This album takes you on a roller coaster ride with powerful melodies and angsty powerballads. Every song on the album is singalongable (im coining that phrase now) you will want to blast this in your car all summer long. Their sound is rather unique with hints of U2, The Beatles, a dash of Mars Volta and some Muse on the side.

Check out their website to listen to some tracks, then buy their album via
iTunes Napster Rhapsody

Starbucks for the (insert age group, profession and/or gender) soul….or not.

Starbucks – NAY

Anyone in a major city or small suburban town knows that Starbucks tries to offer their own little piece of user submitted zen on our coffee cups. Well, apparently Starbucks let loose an ANTI-GOD message come out. Now i’m all for free speech (hell, I write this blog), but a company like Starbucks shouldn’t be pushing their values on us. I read online at WorldNetDaily this little tidbit.

“Why in moments of crisis do we ask God for strength and help? As cognitive beings, why would we ask something that may well be a figment of our imaginations for guidance? Why not search inside ourselves for the power to overcome? After all, we are strong enough to cause most of the catastrophes we need to endure.”

The lady who found this quote said it perfectly when she said “I don’t think there needs to be religious dialogue on it. I just want coffee.”

God bless,

Jimi

Surprise surprise, America is fat.

Obsesity – NAY

In a land where a “diet” is supplementing your Big Mac with a diet soda, it’s no surprise that hey, our nation is fat. Coming in a distant second, Mexico. (I swear im not trying to attack mexicans today) This stuff just boggles the mind. How can we constantly consume something so bad for our bodies? With all the get fit and eat healthy ad campaigns out there, you would think we would get the hint. Of course in pure American tradition, we dont.
Just cool chart I found at Wellington Grey’s website.Please click on the photo and see the full chart. The one I posted is a small version of it.

Enjoy,
