Scene Caps III

It's been a number of months since I've done one of these so here are the rules again:

There are five scenes below from various films. The first person to identify all five correctly is the winner. The answers will be given once people have had a sufficient amount of time to post their guesses.

Stylus Envy

Below is a special edition Pokemon stylus that is actually being sold in Japan for use with the Nintendo DS. Pikachu ain't got nothing on this guy.

I Think I'm Onto Something Here...

I have a theory that Mr. Joss Whedon had a certain Fraggle named Wembley on his mind when casting Alan Tudyk as the wisecracking pilot, Wash, for his show Firefly. Perhaps in a different time, in a different Verse they could have been brothers.

Like any good theoretician, I've provided startling evidence to support my claim...

Zing!

This excerpt was emailed to me the other day...

On Wednesday, March 1, 2006, at a hearing on a proposed Constitutional Amendment to prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, professor of law at AU, was requested to testify.

At the end of his testimony, Republican Senator Nancy Jacobs said: "Mr. Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman. What do you have to say about that?"

Raskin replied: "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."

The room erupted into applause.

Mystery Solved

So the butterfly ballot strikes again. I should have known. Thanks to Nick Starr for the graphic.

Hey Oscar, What's The Deal?

So if Brokeback Mountain wasn't the best picture of last year, but Ang Lee was the best director of last year... and Brokeback was the only film Ang Lee directed last year... doesn't something seem a tad askew there?

BTW, Crash was an over-blown TV Movie of the Week that was mediocre at best; I don't care what The Academy thinks of it.

This is actually pretty cool...

Here's a handy website for my PC gaming comrades:

Can Your Computer Run That Game?

Broad Appeal

While watching the movie Zathura tonight, which was a surprisingly fun time btw, I started wondering when exactly kid's movies started being so cool. And for that matter, why is it I seem to enjoy many of these films more than the youngsters they would seem to be targeted at? In recent memory there's been The Incredibles, Harry Potter, Sky High, Wallace & Gromit and now Zathura. I don't remember having kickass flicks like these when I was a kid. I had The Goonies. Hmm, in hindsight perhaps the Goonies really were good enough after all.

Dirty Things

A Consumer Protection Board recently compiled a list of the most bacteria-laden items people commonly touch in public. Purell's stocks jumped 4%.

1. shopping cart handles
2. computer mice (cyber cafes)
3. bus handle straps
4. public toilet handles and door knobs
5. elevator buttons
6. train handle straps

Start Rant

A piece of advice for all you soccer moms driving SUVs: If the vehicle is too big for you to handle, get something more manageable. Maybe you feel safer driving an SUV, but the rest of us are terrified.

On a related note, no one needs a Hummer to drive to the grocery store. No one. It's all pavement and the rivers have bridges. Plus the things get 10 MPG. Smarten the fuck up.

Rant over.

It's Feb. 14th, That Could Only Mean...

This video is pretty incredible. Especially the part where the person is sorting out photos. Could this be the direction computer monitors are heading? Minority Report says, "Yes."
