Now that the news of today’s tragedy in Boston is starting to sink in it’s apparent that it was a bomb of some sort. As I write this two people are confirmed dead and dozens are injured. It was a cowardly senseless act. For updates today you can visit our website for information.
My disdain of the 'Scary Movie' franchise came early. I distinctly recall seeing the 'Scary Movie 2' poster, which featured Kathleen Robertson wearing a t-shirt that says "I See Dead People." This isn't a joke. It's just a reference. It isn't clever, it isn't witty - it's just saying a thing from another movie. It's not funny.
Almost 10 years later, 'Scary Movie 5' still suffers from this debilitating problem. There is absolutely nothing funny about going 'Inception'-style into Christian Grey's S&M room and having Mike Tyson show up. Yet, if you are somehow able to ignore the lowest common denominator pop culture appearances (I hesitate to even call them jokes) there are a great number of truly amusing gags and examples of rapid fire dialogue zings. Put bluntly: when the film is freed from the shackles of its referencing mandate, there's some good, dopey humor in here. Much to my surprise, I laughed out loud a good half-dozen times.
After trying his hand at science-fiction, winning an Oscar, and testing himself with a one-actor film about a dude with his hand stuck under a rock, director Danny Boyle returns to familiar territory with 'Trance': the lives of scheming, feuding thieves. When Boyle makes movies about criminals, he rarely focuses on their crimes to look instead at their fallout -- these are what we might call "after-the-heist films." The heist, in a Boyle movie, is the easy part. It's living with yourself, and your accomplices that's hard.
Getting older sucks.
It starts when you get out of school and never stops. I'm talking about the ever-quickening pace of time and, as time sails past, so do the days of excellent health and carefree living. What I wouldn't give to be the age that my mind feels I am. 12.
With the NCAA men's basketball championship game last night and March Madness heading up to it, what a crazy time for everyone involved. An incredible economic boom for related businesses. The businesses around the arenas make money, The arena gets the gate and concession money. The colleges do pretty well too. Beer sponsorships, TV deals, merchandise sales, etc.
Doing what I do for a living, which is keeping up with the news and such, I read a lot of well, stupid things, which happen in government, this how ever really makes me mad. The federal cuts that are causing some many problems are causing Spectrum Generation to create a waiting list for Meals On Wheels. Now, it has been a BIG point of with Spectrum Generation that they did NOT make senior wait for this service.
I’ll admit it, I’ve lived with two exes domestically. Also, my wife and I moved in together about a year and a half before getting married. In this article, it says more and more people are moving in before getting married.
It’s that day every six months I dread, going to the dentist. It’s up there with taking your car in for inspection. You go in, the news could be as good as “you’re all set until next time” or you could hear, “OK, here’s the situation.”
This girl did her homework. She had good reason. She's a great shooter and her future relies, in part, on whether or not gun control becomes law. Whether you're for or against gun control, please take the time to hear this.
I was going through CNN's website trying to come up with something to write about and an article inspired this post. Facebook feed pet peeves. Things that come up in your feed that aren't serious enough to unfriend or hide someone but just make you shake your head or just irk you.
