  1. Gridlock'd was an exceptional movie starring thandie newton, Tim Roth, and the late tupac shakur. I never saw it when it came out but it's on skinimax so I caught it there. It's about junkies in Detroit trying to kick but getting the bureaucratic runaround. A

     

    Cabin Fever could have been a much better movie if they hadn't cheapened it with rednecks and dogs. The comedy ending didn't do it any favors either. C

  2. 2 Scottish men, rivals who hate each other, were playing a grudge match of golf. they were about to putt for the win when a funeral procession drove by outside the course (it was obviously a public course). one of the 2 men removed his hat and said a very heartfelt and sweet prayer for the deceased. his rival was shocked by its sincerity, so he said, "why, that was a beautiful prayer you said there. what got into you?"

     

    the one who prayed said, "we were married for 35 years, I figured she deserved me saying something."

  3. it's boring even when it gets urgent. i hate the junkie kid, the sister, the mom, and i'm close to hating the dad. at least we know not everything kirkman touches turns to gold. this is definitely some shit on his hands. i'll still watch it because the number of shows I watch currently is like 7 all week. but damn. kill em all!

  4. i went to my first hometown sporting match cuz the gf was gifted with tix at the last minute. saw the local hometown heroes dispatch the NY football giants on literally the second to last play of the game. now, my question to those of you who know these things, these sporting events. wouldn't the Cowboys have had an easier time winning had they played the whole game like they did the last 2 minutes? seems like manufactured drama to me, like pro wrestling. don't get me wrong, it was an exciting finish, but the game itself was boring. I believe the score at the half was 6-3 which is a score more reminiscent of an English exhibition football match score than for a sport that awards you 6 whole points for taking a ball into a colored rectangle at each end on purpose. If you do it on accident, the other team gets 2 points, and here's my favorite part - you can kick the ball through the goal poists and sometimes you get 3 points, and sometimes you get just 1 point. how silly is that?

     

    here's the best part. beers cost $15 each for a pint of beer. i was warned ahead of time, so I packed the car up with rationally priced beer and proceeded to drink it on the way there while being hauled to and fro via an Uber. As we were leaving (most of you know I walk with a cane all the time after having spent nearly 4 yrs in a wheel chair), I'll be damned if I didn't step wrong off a step and broke my damn ankle. i was in the stadium clinic where i learned Dallas' best player had broken his foot about the same time, so the team will have to trudge on without both of us for the next month. fuck crutches, I am back to the chair.

     

    I am almost 100% certain my first Dallas Cowboys game was also my last. I know several wonderful, intelligent, mostly rational people who for 3 hours each sunday become these crazy strangers who get emotionally invested in a sport featuring some of the worst dtregs of society: wife beaters, murderers, cheaters, corporate welfare exploiters. even knowing all that, they still eat this shit up whenever our hometown rapists play the rapists from another city. go figure.

  5. I'm happy we get to see more Matt Ryan as John but there is the whole John chillin with DC capes paradox that I have no use for. I hate that he's in that universe. It's being a kid and one of your relatives dies and people who should know better keep saying shit like "gramma's in a better place. she's in heaven now." Bullshit, gramma's in a a hole in the ground, if that's a better plave, then gramma's life musta sucked. Does anyone get what I'm saying? of course beggars can't be choosers and I'm glad to see Matt'sd able to pay his bills. And he was so horribly shortchanged by a shitty network I have no use for at all now that his show's gone.

  6. I like the new Walking DeAd commercial. They call it the "shadows teaser". It's the one where each character morphs into another one as the camera slowly zooms in. It's very low lit. Starts with Daryl, then Maggie, Glenn, Carl, michonne, Abraham, Sasha, carol, Morgan, and rick.
