My Halloween Costume
We're not supposed to dress up for work at the soulless retailer, but tonight I'm going in costume as someone who could give a shit.

world gone mad
What the world is coming to?
I was watching Ebert & Roeper today and noticed they no longer do anything relating to the thumbs anymore. I couldn't believe it. They either like a movie or didn't, recommend it or not. Disney, who produces the show (and as a corporate behemoth epitomizes evil) says it was Roger Ebert who pulled the plug due to his lack of involvement with the show and Ebert says it was Disney who eliminated the most recognizable and iconic symbol in film criticism.
I thumb my nose at all of you.
In other news, I think it's funny that the new Bionic Woman might be the most misogynistic show on television today. Actually, it's really not funny at all but sad how out of touch people can be to make a show about a woman made super special against her will and then forced to work for the people that fixed her. Of course the earlier version of the bionic woman (who is now a rogue enemy) is "crazy" because she didn't cooperate.
But that's not what pisses me off about the show. They took out that cool sound effect from the original. You know the shook-shook-shook sound she made when she was running? Not here at all. That's stupid. What is the point of remaking something if you're going to leave out the best parts? It would be like making a modern day A-Team and casting Wayne Brady as the Mr. T character.

There is a reason we call it Warner BROTHERS
Because I am sweating the serious lack of blog updates, and have nothing better to do at the moment (huge lie but I can't bring myself to be doing anything I should be doing) I am going to start a "you're a giant douche" list, and I'll kick it all off by putting President of Production at Warner Bros Jeff Robinov at the very top.
Feel free to click the link if you haven't heard the flap, but if you don't know or don't care let me assure you that Mr. Robinov's major contribution to society is being a giant fucking douche. Feel free to contribute your own nominations to the list if so motivated. I imagine one day publishing a book of the list. It could be like Zagat only not about restaurants.
