Mia, I'm a Cop.

As you may learn later on from reading my posts, I often have horrible taste in movies (much like my sister). I will watch almost anything and if I don't enjoy it completely, I at least am able to have a good time making fun of it. I don't know exactly what this says about me, but I like to think that it makes me a more cultured individual, able to embrace all different forms of art & find the good in the crap....or it just means it doesn't take much to entertain me.

I have only ever walked out of/not finished 6 movies I can think of, which I guess sounds like a lot, but factor in a lifetime of movie-watching and the fact that I got to see movies for free for 2 years in college, and it isn't that much:
1. 8 Mile. I am sorry. But this movie is crap. Total crap. It was so hyped and then....crap. I just can't get on board.
2. Friday Night Lights. I am typically all about "hard-luck sports team, rah! rah!, fighting against the odds" movies (See: Remember The Titans), but the camera work + the never-ending football game scenes were more than enough reason to stop watching to me- it was like sitting through an entire football game in real time. And I do not enjoy sports THAT much. If I did, I would watch ESPN.
3. Saw. Barf. Bad acting, sick and twisted plot. VOMIT. And I vomit on the 50 billion sequels as well, although I have not seen them.
4. The Pink Panther (2006). Beyonce? Really? She should have never been in Austin Powers, either. Plus, this movie was so NOT funny, I felt embarrassed for the actors, which I am pretty sure was not intended effect. Hollywood apparently does not care what I think, as a sequel just came out.
5. Borat. I will admit the first half of this movie is pretty funny. But once 2 men started rolling around naked all over everything...refund please.
6. Cloverfield. I really can't critique the content of this movie as I was doubled-over in my seat, about to literally yarf ALL over everyone, exorcist style. I had to leave after about 20 minutes of the "hand-held/realistic, jiggly camera" effect. (Technically, I was warned: "During the first weekend of the release, many theaters posted signs warning guests that the hand held camera movements may cause motion sickness." -imdb.com.) But still.

Today, Smoking Is Going To Save Lives.

Fire Safety is NOT a joke. But this makes me laugh everytime. (Editor's note: If this link doesn't work, I swear it is not my fault. I know everything there is to know about computers.)

I really don't have anything spectacularly riveting to keep you glued to your computer screen today, but I did come across something interesting today. Take that mom, and every other person who has ever told me to clean my room. Sometimes being messy can SAVE LIVES.

Happy Thursday!

This blog, in a nutshell

At the behest of my sister, (and by behest I mean she DEMANDED my email password and created it for me) I have started this blog, mostly to ramble on about the events in my oh so exciting life. You'll hear a lot about my job, that at times makes Dunder Mifflin look like a great place to start a career. You'll hear about the spastic things I do and say. I will make you watch things I think are funny. I will thrust my opinions on life at you. And maybe someday I will explain the meaning behind the title of my blog. Hopefully I can entertain. Enjoy.
