Weird things goin’ around…

Ever wished smug-faced illusionist David Blaine dead ? Now couldn’t be a better time, as he is about to step in to a small plastic box to be hanged above the London Thames for 44 days. Having a contract with UK’s TV channels Sky One and Channel 4, he’ll try to do absolutely nothing (you can’t move in the small box) in those 6 weeks, except to drink from some trickling doped up water stream, and some urinating through a tube. What a dynamic show that will be ! His chance for survival aren’t that slim though, as there are records of people who’ve survived worse.
Also, the Guinness Book of Records will not allow any of Blaine’s crazy stunts (3 days in a block of ice and being buried alive) for obvious reasons. Guess just the money will do then.
10 million Euros would do for me. How much would you ask for those 44 days ?

Review: The Italian Job

September 5th, 2003
movie logo

A very adequate movie suiting almost everybody’s taste. It had nice action, a tiny bit of a story, a bit humor, and the pace keeps the whole movie running. As usual, Charlize Theron and Mark Wahlberg team up nicely (The Yards) and the rest of the cast are okay too. Norton does the creepy bad guy stuff very well.7½.

Scary stuff goin’ on, coz Jeepers Creepers 2 opened with an amazing $18.5 million (opens here …uhmm… I don’t care), after the abomination that was Jeepers Creepers. Must be the Labor Day craze goin’ on. Second was the family laugher Freaky Friday with $11.7 million. Third was S.W.A.T. with $10.5 million. Fourth, was Pirates in its 8th week run ! With another $10.2 million, Bruckheimer’d better build another big sailing ship to carry his current total of a whopping $274 million golden dollars.

Useless but interesting…

August 29th, 2003

Search engines are quite interesting things, all have their own behavior, their own methods. A quick stroll through my web log showed the following links and results. You can test them out yourself, just use the link above it, and use the exact keywords as you see here (including the “‘s or -). As you can see, most people are let down if they finally arrive at my site, as I don’t host pictures or subtitles. Writing this story, actually will fuel the search engines to get me an even higher score now. Whud am I doing ? Paradooooox….

Review: Basic

August 29th, 2003
movie logo

With a strong cast, you don’t necessarily get a strong movie. While it starts out as a small mystery, it soon grows in to a story with more twists and turns than an average rollercoaster. In the end, it kinda blows out of hand, and it leaves your head buzzing with a story too elaborate to be believable (and that’s an understatement).6½.

Expensive thing going around this world…

As everybody knows by now, Ah-nuhld Schwarzenegger is running for governor of California. But even with his major star status, it doesn’t come cheaply. His campaign has been budgetted at a freakin’ $20 million. Of which he will use $5 million of his own pocket, the rest he will try to raise through other means (mostly fishing for donations from wealthy people). So, what would _you_ do with 20 million bucks. Run for governor or buy a house so you can quietly live the rest of your life ?

A quiet week at the box office, yet blood kept flowing as Freddy and Jason slashed their way in to keep the nr. 1 spot with $13.5 million. Also still kicking in doors is S.W.A.T. at nr. 2 with $10.8 million. Freaky Friday and Open Range have to share the third spot with $9.4 million. The fifth place is for this weeks opener The Medallion (opens here 23 Oct), a Jackie Chan starrer that suffered some pretty bad reviews. A measly $8.2 million is a clear indication the standard Jackie Chan formula movie needs some tweaking.

Crazy stuff going around…

Excerpt from BBC News:
“Virus hits hospital systems – Staff at a Glasgow hospital worked round the clock to restore its computer systems after the network was struck by the Nachi worm….-….He praised all the staff who worked to get the problem fixed. “Our IT department were on it from about 1600 and worked right through the night to get essential systems back by 0730,” he said.”

Hahahhahaaa. The IT department had to work so hard because they DIDN’T DO their job in the first place (otherwise, the worm wouldn’t have gotten in, let alone wreck havoc). They should fix it even if they have to work 48 hours non-stop UNPAID, and then they should be fired. What would you do ?

Hot Chick Alert

August 24th, 2003

Just finished watching Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, where this this lady appears in almost a flash. Her name is Krista Allen, and she seems to be making the jump from the TV to the silver screen quite well. After this year’s Anger Management, she still has a few films lined up. Check this link for more pictures.

Review: Jessica Simpson – In This Skin

August 23rd, 2003
music logo

Starting the album with opener song “In This Skin”, the first impression is a slick well produced pop song. Then the first negative feeling creeps in, the vocals start off very nasal. A few minutes in, and you get the feeling it’s very much over-produced, your auditory senses overloaded with numerous sounds spit out from an expensive synthesizer. A few numbers ahead, and you’re faced with a few slow ballads, but the moans throughout the song won’t keep you from almost dozing off. With nothing to set her apart from any other artist, this pop certainly has no impact. The longevity for this album will be very short, apart from 1 or 2 songs.6-.
