Featuring rants unworthy of due consideration. Spell checked, but not proofread
Wouldn’t that have been grand? If Notre Dame would have just beaten Michigan on that fateful day we would have saved ourselves a whole lot of bull late in the season during bowl selection. Oh well. Both OSU and UM pussed out in the bowl games. The Big Ten really isn’t worth a tinker’s damn these days.
Apparently my site works in Opera. Who would have thought?
I got a Nintendo Wii last weekend. Haven’t had time to write a post about it yet. More to come later.
Ghost Rider has always been a relatively lame character. I am fairly certain that it must have been inspired by a biker jacket while the marvel guys were in a bad neighborhood.
As you will notice by the graphic on the side there, I decided to go with a picture of the Slade Ghost Rider, since he is infinitely cooler than the regular one.
Anyhow, the movie was exactly what I expected. I knew that it would not be good, but at least they did not try to be more than they were. For example, one of the reasons that Incredible Hulk was so awful, was because it was a cheesy story but they tried to make it serious.
Ghost Rider was a rather formulaic conglomeration, they did a brief setup of his origin. And then, they setup a few enemies for him to defeat. He defeated the enemies, and decided to stay Ghost Rider. Nothing fancy, no over reaching, you just get what they give.
The primary reason that I went to go see this movie was more for the spectacle of the special effects. So, if the special effects got me there, it was the Mendes cleavage shots that kept me there. I am not exactly sure why she agreed to wear those things, but I am glad that she did.
However, the single best part of the the entire movie was when Mendes’ character was sitting in a restaurant, drunk, waiting for Ghost Rider when she asked the waiter, “You think that I am pretty, right?” And then, the waiter looked at her for a second, then made a face and walked away, essentially treating her like 2-cent whore. At that point there was a massive guffaw from the females in the audience.
Some of you may know that I recently terminated the life of my iPod. Granted, it was not intentional, it just succumb to four years of fairly continuous use. Considering the fact that it lasted so long, I suppose that I should be happy. But replacing broken/defective electronics is never enjoyable, and I seem to be doing a lot of it lately.
As you can see by the image above, Apple apparently believes that I am some kind of common thief. And, that their simple warning “Don’t Steal Music” will prove to be a powerful deterrent. The interesting thing is that it does not say “Don’t Pirate Music” which is completely different, and what most people do.
Anyway, I now have a shiny new black 30 gb iPod that I have named “Serenity,” and which contains 4.87 gb of audio files. I am not sure what I am going to do with the extra space (videos are pretty much out of the question). I am more concerned with this thing lasting me as long as the last one diligently did.
Now, if Rhapsody of Fire, and Apocalyptica would just release some new albums I would be in business.
