Mad Movie Guy

I feel the need to write, but I don’t know what to write about. Is that bad? Is that an addiction? I should I know, I know all about addictions. HA. No seriously. Do I even have any more writing left in me after my Oscar blog? I don’t know I mean to find out though.

I haven’t seen any movies since The Departed. Im taking a mini movie break after the weekend. Im a bit movied out. And by that, I mean I will probably go and pop a movie in the DVD player right after I post this blog, in a cold sweat like a true addict.

Its here, its fucking Oscar day 2007, I love the Oscars. It’s the one TV event I will gladly drive 30 mins to watch on a small ass non HD TV. I watch it with my mom every year. It’s the Whiteman family equivalent to the Super Bowl. I’ve said it before, I have no idea why I like the Oscars, they fuck up so impressively year after year. Anyways, like las t year ill be keeping a diary of the proceedings. Currently right now, we are watching The Departed and eating sushi. Good times. My mom hadn’t seen the departed yet so I thought I would bring it over watch it before the Oscars. Which are set to start in about 20 mins, but Tony and me went over and worked on James’ computer, so we just started the movie, and will watch the Oscars on a tape delay via the magic of DVR.

There is this song I have on my iPod. “Let it be sung” By Jack Johnson with ALO and Matt Costa. Overall I don’t really like the song. Mainly because I’ve become not a big ALO fan there is something weird about the guy singing, almost like he’s got a football mouthgaurd in while he sings. Anyways, there is this one line in there that I love and of course it’s by young troubadour Matt Costa.

“God fearing people at the bottom of the sea”

Ever notice that when ever you flat out NEED a pen, that you cant fucking find one ? Yet if you don’t want a pen, or aren’t thinking about a pen then they are fucking everywhere. You step on one in the middle of the night, you find one in your shower, or magically frozen in a vase in the freezer, but you cant find one when you need it. I Have a theory about this, and I think pens are really creatures from another world, no no no not the same world that Reese Witherspoon is from. But Some crazy ass planet where simply everything is a pen. I imagine pens getting in some pretty wacky adventures as soon as our eyes ardent on them, much like the loveable robots from *batteries not included. Speaking of that. Has any one seen or thought about that movie in the last 15 years? I know I haven’t and its weird, cause I saw it roughly 57,000 times when I was kid, and traditionally love to rewatch the movies that I saw as a kid. Weird.

Yeah, I watch the OC. Well I did every Thursday. I got into the show late. Someone told me to watch the first season on DVD. So I bought it, watched it. Then rushed out to buy season two so I could get caught up in time for season three. That became my Thursday night. Watching the misadventures of a crazy rich Jewish family in Newport beach California.

I’ve taken a ton of shit for liking that show. But hey, at least shit happens on there, unlike lost that rag ass terrible show that I still manage to watch on a regular basis.
