A pretty generic very standard nothing special leave your brains at the door kinda movie. The story was _very_ predictable, characters were semi-existent in the first few minutes, and later on it’s all follow that guy kinda action. Still a lightly digestive movie recommended if you’re hanging out with a group doin’ nothing in particular.7-.

Tom Cruise starrer The Last Samurai slashes its way to nr. 1 with some $24.4 million. A lower than expected opening due to bad snowstorm raging through the States. Number two is for Honey, starring the Dark Angel herself, Jessica Alba, in this hip-hop dance movie. Targeted at female teens, it gathered $14 million. But hey, I wouldn’t mind seeing her dance with her sixpack showing.
Last weeks topper, The Haunted Mansion, drops to number three with a big drop to $9.5 million

Well, the second line heir to the crown of this lil’ Kingdom has just been born, so congratz to Willem-Alexander and Maxima with their baby girl. Strangely enough, info about the baby was spread quickly, followed by a picture, but we STILL don’t know the name. What are they thinking over there ? Whole Holland has to keep referring to “the baby” in their conversations ?

Can’t judge what you haven’t tried, so Lord knows, I suffered. Filled with 13 songs, I had to sample each of them in full, _several_ times. I can assure you, that’s no fun. All have a harsh techno dance beat to start with. Then mix in a talkative Britney, a bit of sighing and moaning and another song is finished. Even with the high bpms, it still inspires something between a long nap and a winterlong hibernation. Only 2 tracks come close to being a normal song, but even those are not the wake up call you’re longing for.2.

Have you seen this year’s Grammy Award Nominee List ?
Yupz, take a breath, that’s what I did. It’s filled with mummbling Sean Pauls, 50 cents, and Eminems.
Christina Aguilera’s minimalist clothing line must have impressed the jury too. First timer Kelly Clarkson talks through the first half of her debut song, and finishes the other half with some shouting. That, it seems, is also enough for a Best Vocals nomination. Then for the most mediocre songs of this side of the galaxy, Nickelback gets a few nods too. Didn’t know the jury had some young yelling female teenagers though, Justin Timbermayatreefallonyourhead has a few under his belt too.
Ah well, it ain’t all that bad, the only few nominations I can agree with is Matchbox Twenty, Faith Hill and Shania Twain. If they win a few, I can finally relax a bit. If not, what’s next ? Britney Spears ? *oh wait, noooo, so was nominated last year grmbl whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*

As you can see, or you might see in just a few moments, the comments are popped up again ! This MUST mean my likability rate has just gone through the roof, right ?

As you’ve grown accustomed to the high quality of the Pixar/Disney partnership, this latest pic is also a high speed actioner with funny dialogue and awe inspiring 3D animation. The details and colors are mostly too much too grasp at once, and while you may think fish aren’t flexible enough, you can trust me there’s enough happening on screen to keep your eyes open. While it is al fun fun fun, somehow movies like Monster’s Inc and Shrek have an edge that make those have a better feeling to it. Don’t let that stop you from seeing this one though.8-.

Not really a post. Just a test. By putting the words Hilton Paris Sex Video and download together, I can measure that particular popularity on the search engines. People looking for the video and wanting to download it will be so disappointed. Dang, anyone met someone more evil than me ? 😈
Update:
Fox’s premiere of its new reality series “The Simple Life” (starring the more slutty than usual Hilton sisters) won the Tuesday’s Nielsen ratings in its 18-49 demographic. This also helped Fox to win the whole night’s ratings.
Makes you wonder who leaked that homevideo, eh ?

It seems it’s not Alexander Graham Bell who made the first transmission of speech from one point to another by electrical mean in 1876. Old documents found in the archive of the Science Museum in London suggest it happened 15 years earlier, by a German research scientist named Philipp Reis. The result of Scottish pride and a bit of conspiracry led to the beliefs of today.
So, how does this sound ? “You can ring my reis any time you want.”

In an extra long holiday weekend, and therefore mostly family pics scored high, Eddy is on top again, with Disney’s The Haunted Mansion, good for $35 million. Second week for Dr. Seuss’ Cat in the Hat, and another $34.1 million. But still, this holiday’s winner is Elf, bringing in another $31.8 million for a $130.1 cume since its release.

The design is back to the style it was before…more or less. Let me know if it still looks like shit. That way, I know my reluctance to change anything has a more profound reason.

As a Thanksgiving gift thingy, and also as a morale booster, mr. President Bush paid a surprise visit to Iraq, and had dinner with some 600 stunned troops. Kept secret until he was actually safe and sound in Bagdad was the prime directive. Had it been leaked out, he would’ve cancelled the trip, which nobody would’ve expected in the first place.
Anywayz, if he stays longer (and paint a bullseye on his forehead), maybe he can lure Saddam Hussein out of hiding. Heck, maybe even the whole Al-Queda network will come out of their holes. Now, THAT would be a marvelous plan.

Well, a bit too far for my taste. The story is non-existent. The dialogue that fills the gaps between the action sequences is a bold effort to deepen the story, but fails miserably by being too superficial and often about the same subjects. The erratically directed action scenes and the casual acting is definitely not Oscar worthy. It’s more like a tub filled with not-interesting characters floating around aimlessly. With no drive behind this movie, it slowly halts to a speed of barely one knot. Probably only suits people who really dig being shouted at with nautical terms.6-.
