back after this

not sure what i'm doing with this anymore. i still watch trailers all the time, and i start to write about them, but then i become too lazy to write more than two sentences. which is probably why i failed at the blog anyway.

i'm going to start writing a regular blog thing, and because the url is so awesome for this one, i'm not creating a new title. maybe i'll put in a trailer here and there.

i had a blologna sandwich with chips and ginger ale today. served on a paper plate, i feel like i'm 7 years old on a summer day. sadly, reality hits me when i look at the other side of the variety luch meat package, and notice that for bologna, 140/160 calories are from fat. i'm suprised i didn't have a heart attack on the spot. good thing i only eat a bologna sandwich every two years or so. however not wanting to waste food, i'll somehow have to get through the other 4 slices in the package. goodbye, potential skinny jeans. it was worth it.


apparently i can't go more than paragraph without talking about movie trailers, because i just watched the macgruber one and i have some thoughts.

the best part about the macgruber skits was that they were short, and the punch line was the explosion at the end. how can you stretch this into a movie? snl has a hard time spinning things into films...wayne's world turned out awesome, and coneheads did ok... but then superstar, night at the roxbury, and ladies man all fell on their face. sometimes things are better as sketches.

fuckin a', man. this is the kind of superhero stuff i like. nothing too fancy, but totally kick ass (slight pun intended). i hope someone will go with me when we're in london. good move, nick cage. this should help pay your mortgage.

i didn't even watch this one, but i just saw the title and thought, "uh, oh. there's going to be some confusion come november for those twitards"
