Like a Fund Drive, Except Without the Free Coffee Mugs

ok, so how does the pay pal option work? it’s been forever and a half since i used it. just gotta provide a recipient email for the payment, which is the aforementioned email address in the post?

I’ll donate as soon as I find out if I got into this training seminar I applied to. If I didn’t, I’ll have more than if I did. Should only be a couple days.

I can’t believe Matthew did this. I’m totally blown away. I told him he’s my favorite person ever. I want to have a gay wedding with him and adopt a Chinese girl baby. Such an offer will surely make him feel that we are too close to one another, being in the same country an’ all, and he’ll surely scurry back off to the big boot.

Anyway, I don’t know if it’s a great idea or not. I feel kind of creepy about it being so overt, but it’s done, so I’ll take it. I keep thinking of that scene in Cinderella Man where Jim J. Braddock was passing the hat around to all these managers and promoters. Hopefully I’m wrong, fingers crossed.

I will do this much for all my fans though. I will save you the money you would other spend on Le Cinema by telling you which movies to avoid. You can then transfer those savings to me, so it’s a win-win.

Don’t Mess With The Zohan (3/10) Pretty bad, even for an Adam Sandler movie. As far as his comedies, the only one worse I can think of is Little Nicky. There are a couple of funny moments, but way too much graphic activity with old ladies and next to no chemistry with co-star Emmanuelle Chriqui. i don’t think they even kissed.

Love Guru (6/10) A lot better than I thought it’d be, actually. Some parts dragged on a bit, but MIke Myers isn’t afraid to take chances, give him that. Actually the worst part of the movie is Jessica Alba. She might be the worst actress on the planet and asking her to do anything besides smile or giggle is a bad idea. Really, her problem is she is too pretty. If she was just like 10% less attractive then she could be in porn, where her talent level belongs.

Iron Man (9/10) Fabulous. It might have been the best comic book adaption since the original Batman. Robert Downey Jr. was perfect for the role and nailed it and none of the minor characters dragged the movie down. The first 15 minutes in particular was surprisingly intense, like Saving Private Ryan intense. I’ve never read the comic, but this was really well done. Also, if you have the time to stay through the closing credits, all ten minutes of them, there is a bonus scene in there.

Get Smart (2/10) Awful. Maybe two laughs the whole movie. Steve Carrell was fine and Anne Hathaway is very, very attractive, but the script was awful. Even Alan Arkin and The Rock weren’t bad in it, but the best actors in the world couldn’t save this movie. It tried to be an action-comedy, but it was failed on both ends. It’s three times more violent than one would figure and one tenth as funny.

The Incredible Hulk (6/10) Not too shabby, but it pales in comparison to Iron Man. Edward Norton brought more to the table than Eric Bana did in the first try, and Tim Roth was very intense in his role (although he played an American with a British accent, which I couldn’t figure). The movie suffered from the lack of a real villain. Also, Liv Tyler has seen better days and the inevitable Lou Ferrigno cameo was way too forced.

Wanted (0/10) Oh my dear God. I couldn’t for the life of me imagine how awful this movie wound up being. I will never, ever, understand why the reviews have been positive. Maybe the critics want to make sure their readers see them as “hip” or whatever, but this movie was unfathomably stupid and worse than that, the audience figures it out almost immediately. Yes, Angelina Jolie is very, very attractive, but not enough to make this salvageable (i.e. no frontal nudity). The narration is beyond inane and the movie doesn’t even work as unintentional comedy. Everyone involved, especially Jolie, James McEvoy and Morgan Freeman should be ashamed of themselves. The stylistic and thematic comparisons everyone is making is last year’s Shoot ‘Em Up with Clive Owen, but that was a hundred times better in every aspect. I cannot put it emphatically enough: AVOID THIS MOVIE. One of the top ten worst pieces of shit I’ve ever seen.

Where else can you get Spurs, Soccer & movies. Add a Wimbledon preview and this site would be perfect.

I’m in and appreciate the many, many hours of reading. Also, I’m anxiously awaiting the next installment of the Bar Chronicles.

What’s the time constraint on this? Will I still be able to donate on the 25th? My check on the 11th all goes to car and rent.
