Random Musings on a Slow News Day


I wanted to post one more piece before turning off the computer for a while, and I thought, "why not do it like Larry King does?" Larry King writes a column (or at least he used to) of random, disconnected thoughts. Hey, I've got plenty of those! So, here we go. . .

Van Wilder is a stupid, but fun movie. If you turn off your brain you'll have a good time. . .Shrek the Halls is one of the best holiday specials to come around in years. And it's spectacular on a good HDTV. . .Mamma Mia! would have been a better movie if Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan could sing. . .Masquerade, an 80s movie that stars Rob Lowe and Meg Tilly, holds up better than most 80s movies. In fact, it's an engaging mystery that you'll enjoy as much as any current movie. And Rob Lowe looks spectacular on a good HDTV too. . .By the way, Meg Tilly is Jennifer Tilly's younger sister. Did you know that?. . .American remakes of Japanese horror films (The Grudge, The Ring, Shutter) are opaque, and nobody understands them as much as they say they do. . .Family Guy and American Dad! will grow on you if you give them time, no matter how much you dislike them the first time around. In fact, they will become favorites. . .No matter how many new high-tech toys you acquire, you'll always want more, and will be disappointed with the ones you have. . .You'll never feel like you deserved that speeding ticket. . .If you have a stretch of days off, you'll plan to get some things accomplished, but as the days wind down, you won't want to actually do them. . .

That's it for now, more when my brain kicks them out!

And just for the hell of it, here is one of the funniest episodes of American Dad!, featuring alien Roger as The Phantom of the Telethon. Enjoy. . .
