Another Movie Discussion
Now, thinking back, what other filmmakers have had that style that both Tarkovsky and Kubrick could have been imitating? Sergio Leone had a tendency of long lingering shots of both the landscape and of close-up faces, but he, too, is of that same generation. It's interesting to think about. Who could have been the influences for these three great directors to develop a style so similar to each other. I'm not too sure. I have some guesses, but what do you guys think? Can you find any interviews or quotes from these guys where they describe their influences?
Bachelor party
1 - Drive to Boston. It has the Magic hat brewery, plenty of bars, the ocean, deep sea fishing, strip clubs and is drivable.
2 - New Orleans. We'd have to fly, but it might be cheap there to get tourists. Plenty of places to drink, don't need to drive anywhere, and whores.
Any other suggestions???

Dear Kevin,
Thank you for your e-mail. We have tracked the shipment of your order via UPS, and were informed that the package was delivered on February 15, 2008 with a signature of "Jarage". We hope this information is helpful. If you are unable to locate this package, we suggest contacting your issuing bank for information on disputing these charges. Oldnavy.com is unable to reship or refund any claim of a missing package that has been delivered, and signed for at the correct address.
If we may be of further assistance, please contact us via e-mail at custserv@oldnavy.com or by calling 1-800-OLD-NAVY. Our Customer Service Consultants are available 24 hours a day for your convenience.
Mother fuckers! I hastily dash off this reply:
This package never was delivered to my apartment. I recieved a UPS slip on my door which said it was dropped off in my apartment complex's rental office. When I went to pick it up, the package was not there and the office has since told me that there is nobody working there who has a name anything like "Jarage". Does this matter at all?
The fact is, the package was not delivered to my apartment, or left at my apartment's door, or signed by anyone that has ever set foot in my apartment, or works for the apartment complex. Is anyone allowed to sign for a package, as long as they happen to be in the same apartment complex as the receiver's address, even if they don't live at that address or work there, or maybe even live there? This is not something that can be taken up with UPS?
Now, we wait and see. I can't believe that UPS is not responsible for this, since they had the package delivered. Who cares that it was delivered to some random "Jarage" who just happened to be around at the time. I guess I can dispute the charges through my credit card company, but I want UPS to pay. They are the fuckers in this.

What I learned today
2. Most of my coworkers are much more conservative than I realized. I am also able to keep my mouth shut and not rant and rave when God is bought up in conversation. I'll ease them into my hatred of religion.
3. Hockey is pretty damned boring if you don't give a fuck about either of the teams playing.
4. I am able to eat a Taco Bell taco without puking!
5. Nobody knows the answer to my trivia question? If someone answers it, I'll draw you a picture of your choice and post it.

Happy Valentines Day
I will be spending my Valentines Day night with my favorite person in the world (hint: it's me). Everyone have fun out there, and don't give in and spend too much money. Fuck commercialism, or something. I have a hard time ranting when I'm so damned tired.

For your annoyment
I finish finding the most annoying station in the cable. Ovación is called TV and you probably obtain it, but never she has watched it. Why this station inhales important balls? Well, some great quite dark films in this channel play, including those by Fellini and Bergman. Delay, why that would aspire? Well, they literally have a commercial breakage every 10 minutes, does not matter what. This makes the any film unwatchable, even greatest. Then also they demonstrate only near a film to the day and the rest of the right time that demonstrate infomercials mainly.
I mean that I understand that the stations make their money to traverse of the announcements, but when your whole channel much as soon as she becomes enough announcements, you without embargo make the money? I mean, that would watch that channel? And if nobody clocks he, how they obtained to patrocinadores? I do not understand this station. It scares to me and it confuses. Also, they are demonstrating at the moment to Henry and June, that is a film NC17, but all the offensive pieces of course are corrected towards outside. Which is the excrement point? You are going to kill the film, not only with a ridiculous number of announcements, but cutting half of her towards outside? That strikes somebody like good plan of business? Command post of cogidá.
Rage and anger!
I mean I understand that stations make their money through commercials, but when your whole channel pretty much just becomes commercials, do you still make money? I mean, who would watch that channel? And if no one watches it, how do they get sponsors? I don't understand this station. It frightens and confuses me. Also, they are currently showing Henry and June, which is an NC17 movie, but all the offensive parts are of course edited out. What's the fucking point? You're going to slaughter the film, not only with a ridiculous number of commercials, but by cutting half of it out? That strikes someone as a good business plan? Fuck 'em.

Super Bowl! Second Half Thread!
9:58 Still 29 seconds and 3 timeouts for the Pats. I don't know about a TD, but a FG will tie it. First ever overtime in a Super Bowl? Maybe...
9:56 PLAXICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9:52 WHAT A FUCKING PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9:51 This is getting fucking ugly!!! Come on!!!!!!
9:39 It's ok, we're last to get the ball. A TD will win it. I have faith in Eli. Win it for us, baby!
9:31 Wes Welker needs his leg broken. He's killing us.
9:27 Giants always make it hard on themselves. The Pats aren't going the rest of the game without scoring. We need another TD!
9:16 Wow! The Giants have a chance to put it away here! Defense is playing great! That's and understatement. The E*Trade baby is annoying as hell. DrX, look at not being to see the commercials as a good thing. They all suck.
9:12 Is James Carville really in a commercial? And did they actually try to pass him off as a democrat? I don't know which one is more sad. But I'm not sad, because the Giants are up 10-7, baby!!!!!
9:11 AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! 10-7 GIANTS!!!!!
9:07 Kevin Fucking Boss! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! You do my name proud, buddy!
9:03 By the way, I've been yelling profanities louder and louder as the game has progressed, so don't be surprised if I disappear for a while and end up calling one of you guys for bail in a bit.
9:01 That was a quick quarter. Giants HAVE TO SCORE!!!!!!!! Put it away, you douchebags!
8:58 This is fucking ridiculous. The second play of the drive should have been intentional grounding and, thus, a safety. Refs seem to be favoring the Pats a bit here. Come on Giants! Crush these fuckers!
8:49 E*Trade is now encouraging underage trading of stocks and bulimia with their commercial. Good! Why not?
8:47 Well, we keep sucking when we get close. But a good punt by Feagles. The defense may have to score for us to win this game...
8:45 Great catch by Toomer for a first down despite getting hit early on the play. Giants are driving again! Gotta score!
8:42 I have not seen the Giants defense be this dominate all year. It is impressive. By the way, DrX, you may be the only person in the country listening to the Super Bowl on the radio. If you call in to the station, they may let you call a play or two!
8:33 Ugh.... Just gave New England the ball back. Awful. That may have cost the game.
Here's another post for the Super Bowl!
The Game Thread!
8:25 Well, DrX, the Giants are really beating the shit out of Tom Brady, but the Pats are moving the ball right now. Like I said, if the Giants stop them here, the game is theirs!
8:19 How is King of the Hill still on tv, but Futurama isn't? Seriously, who actually watches King of the Hill? Is there an actual audience for that show, or do they just employ many lovely ladies to give blow jobs to network executives? Too crude?
8:15 I'm gonna call it right now. If the Pats don't score on the first possession of the second half the Giants will win this game.
8:05 So, Tom Petty chose to start his show with a giant penis puncturing a heart. Works for me! By the way, it's half time and I'm on beer #7. I may finish this 12-pack by the end of the game! Would that be more impressive or sad?
7:54 7-3 at the half. We have to score some fucking points! At least the defense is beating the shit out of Brady. Now, the exciting half time show, featuring the young up and comer, Tom Petty! Hooray for safe, mediocre music!
7:40 I don't like how this game is going. It's not looking good for my Giants. Score some fucking points!!!! Also, how is Justin Timberlake as famous as he is? He seems like kind of a douche. And that Doritos commercial with the mouse may have been the best one of the night. I'm willing to call it right now.
7:26 How does Carlos Mencia get away with being a racist unfunny hack of a joke stealing comic and still make money? I don't get it.
7:25 I will never be drinking Life Water and I will start abusing prescription drugs due to those commercials.
7:17 Big stop!!! We still have a chance! We made them punt! I'm halfway through my 12-pack, so if the spelling and grammar begins to decrease dramatically, you'll know why.
7:13 All I have to say is: fuck...
7:09 I went to GoDaddy.com to watch the Danica Patrick ad, so you don't have to. It was lame, and there was no nudity. Nice catch Toomer!!!!
7:02 Did I mention that I hate the fucking Patriots? Where's DrX at?
6:59 End of the 1st quarter. Looking for a big goal line stand, reminiscent of the '86 Super Bowl when the Giants turned the game around with a stuff of the Broncos. Will this happen again? No, probably not. Damn you Belichick!
6:45 OK, not a bad start. Good guys are up. Moved the ball well. I'm close to being drunk. The night has a good start. And I will never drink Diet Pepsi Max just because of that commercial. Ah, and a racist commercial from salesgenie.com. Great.
6:37 Lame commercial, but hooray for Audi for using LEDs on their cars! Keep it up and make me rich, car companies!
6:36 Alright! The Pats are already falling on the ground and crying like babies. And now we get to see the first set of commercials. Yay?
6:33 The crowd confuses me. Who are they cheering for? I like my crowds to be binary. Either cheer for one team or the other. The Super Bowl crowd makes me cry. There must only be two options! You are either good or evil!
6:31 Wow, the Giants actually took the field! With all the talk I figured they would surrender at the coin toss.
6:28 Damn! Chris Meyers is wearing a blue tie, I just lost 10 grand!
6:26 Giants win the toss! I just won 8 grand!
6:25 About 5 minutes from kickoff and the Pats haven't scored yet. We have a chance!
6:18 Jordan Sparks gets a pass, because her father was the man. He was on some god-awful teams, though. Good pace on the national anthem. Not too fancy and annoying. Let's go Giants!!!!
6:15 Every year I'm confused as to when the much vaunted Super Bowl commercials start. Do they start with the game, or do they start at the pre-game? Am I suppose to be impressed by these commercials? Let me know when I am suppose to be whipped into a consumer frenzy.
6:13 The Patriots took the field to "Crazy Train". They couldn't have thought of a more motivational song? Is Crazy Train really putting out the message that you want?
6:11 DrX, you find a place to watch the game?
6:06 Fish, there's still time to come up with a bet for the game. Any ideas?
6:01 Well, I'm 5 beers and about 50 pizza rolls in for the day. Pizza rolls fucking kick ass! I bet I could eat 100. That's a new challenge that I may try next. So, I hear there is a football game on today.
It's starting in just half an hour! Go Giants!
Super Sunday Pre-Game Blog!
12:05 See, this is how it'll work. Anytime I post something new I'll put the time I wrote it, followed by my witty remarks. Yay!
12:06 Just saw the first commercial of the day featuring a Manning. The over/under on this for the day is 5,324. Any takers?
12:08 ESPN is showing a little piece on Bill Belichick's navy guy father, and they interview Bill Belichick during it. No big deal, right? Well, he just happens to have a giant cold sore on his upper lip. Hahaha, Belichick has herpes! Herpes-man! Can't they cover that thing up with make-up?
12:15 Ok, there are still over 6 hours to go until the game starts, so I'm gonna start pacing myself with the comments. I also still have to go buy some beer, so I'll be back to post later.
1:31 Just went to the grocery store with my Giants jersey on (Phil Simms baby!) and I'm pretty sure I saw Belichick videotaping me the whole time. Damn you Belichick! Damn you! Also, kickoff is probably around 6:30 depending on the length of all the bullshit. It may actually start tomorrow.
1:36 The difference between Giants fans and Pats fans: Pats fans dress their dogs in a Pats jersey and takes them to games. A Giants fan gets drunk before the game even starts and forgets that they bought the dog with them until they get back to the car after the game and find it frozen solid. Then they laugh and eat babies. That's right! Us Giants fans are evil!
1:51 You're probably wondering what I have to eat for Super Bowl Sunday. Well, let me tell ya. I have some nachos and cheese, some cheddar & sour cream chips, some pizza rolls, and I'm currently making some bacon cheese burgers with onion rolls. I also have some mac&cheese
if I so choose. And my drink of choice? I have a 12-pack of Newcastle. Let the gluttony and drunkenness begin!
2:26 When I think of football, the first name that comes to mind is Ryan Seacrest. Good thing Fox got him to interview the "celebrities and musicians" as they enter the stadium! Who cares about the game? There are celebrities around! Maybe Paris Hilton will show her vagina!
2:57 Frank Caliendo still isn't funny.
3:16 There's a red carpet for celebrities entering the stadium. Yeah, great, because this is all about them. By the way, Larry Fishburne is pretty fat right now. And holy shit, the Fox pregame may be the worst 5 hours of television ever recorded. I need more beer.
3:33 When my beard starts to go gray, will I shave it, dye it, or let it be? This is a question that haunts me at night...
3:38 Who the fuck is Sara Evans, and I thought Willie Nelson was dead. I kid! Willie is alright in my book. Good thing they let him play for an entire forty seconds before getting back to Seacrest. And seriously, who the fuck is Sara Evans?
3:50 Fox has a business channel? Let me guess how it goes: "Economy is fine! It's going great! Everything is good! But, if you elect a democrat to office, not only are we all going to be slaughtered by terrorists, but the stock market will collapse and the Japanese will buy our country and force us all to eat raw fish!"
3:54 Hugh Laurie is in the wrong place. He's too damn classy for this pregame. I'm not being sarcastic. He actually seems like a really cool guy.
4:11 Once again, Frank Caliendo is still not funny.
4:20 You kids like to party?
4:22 Paula Abdul is really bad at lip syncing. There are still two hours until the game and I've
already lost my will to live. Maybe some pizza rolls will help...
4:35 Pizza rolls did help. Better than Valium!
4:50 Carlos Mencia is doing another commercial? Are you fucking kidding me? How long before that no talent hack finally can't find any more work? Is Dane Cook gonna be in a commercial, too? I can only hope.
4:59 I don't know if it's just the pants and camera angle, but Alicia Keys seems to have the hips of an 800 pound woman. That kind of freaks me out. This is probably better than any other musical act that will be on tonight, giant destroyer of planet hips and all. By the way, how do they determine who gets to be on the field during the musical acts? Are they chosen from the stands, or are they only there for the musical act, then they get kicked out? Hopefully they get kicked out. They seem like assholes. All of them.
5:06 John Travolta is at the game. Seacrest should ask him about Scientology. That should be the subject of every interview all of those Scientology asshats do from now on. Let the people know their fucking insane ideas.
5:15 Oh fuck! It just dawned on me that I have to listen to fucking Joe Buck for this entire game. God dammit! I hate that motherfucker!
5:25 Pam Oliver, I love ya, but a leopard print shirt on the day of the biggest game of the year? Really?
5:30 Ok, I just realized that I commented on the fashion choice of a sideline reporter on Super Bowl Sunday. Now, to compensate I have to do something manly, like take a shot of whiskey while riding a horse through a bunch of cactus while having sex with a Russian whore. I'll get on that.
5:58 Wow, I didn't think it was possible, but I now hate The Declaration of Independence. Come back Britain! I'm going to start a new post now for the Super Bowl, which may start today.
