"Ash" Wednesday
Traditionally I watch a Bruce Campbell movie every year for 'Ash' Wednesday. This year the movie was

If I ever create a drinking game it would have to never include "take a shot for every reference to another movie featuring Bruce Campbell" because you'd be wasted in 15 minutes! Not a great movie, but BC directs and stars in
Here's the story in song-form (from the movie)
Not convinced? Click HERE for an interview of BC from the most reliable, reputable, resourcefull news in the universe... the Onion
oh, and lastly this tasty little morsel of BC goodness
you know you want it!

“My Name is Bruce” is liberally peppered with references to all things Bruce. There are familiar faces in the cast, memorable props are plentiful, venerated quotes are rehashed, and in-jokes abound. This is pretty much a love it or hate it film…it all depends on how you look at it. Bruce is a true caricature here. He hauls in the personalities of some of his more notorious character portrayals combined with a few of the worst possible stereotypes of big-name actors to create a walking parody. He is arrogant, annoying, smarmy, lecherous, vulgar, whiny, and pathetic. He is also not afraid to poke fun at himself and his career throughout this movie, which is one of the reasons he is such a legendary fan favorite and why this movie is already on the way to becoming the newest notch in his cult-status belt. Groovy!

Prison Break! -and- Qui-gon goes international
No, not the Fox show alternately titled "Beating a Dead Horse". Here's a pretty good adaptation from the upcoming Watchmen movie of OwlMan (with an uncanny likeness of another DC character) and the Silk Spectre busting in to the prison where the man Rorschack is being held...
This weekend I watched Taken.
It. Was. Awesome. He can take Jason Bore(ne) any day.
Roughly adapted:
Liam also (in my opinion) should have been Bond in the 90's instead of Balki from Perfect Strangers (with facial hair).


wait, that was Remmington Steele. I digress.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career (as a JEDI MASTER). Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you (and SITH LORDS). If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you (with my LIGHTSABER). "

How dare you Roger Ebert. How dare you
How dare you Roger Ebert. How dare you!
a.k.a. Jerk-off
The last paragraph of the above blog has incited a sort-of uprising amongst the faithful. Don't be surprised if in the coming weeks there is an assault on the callow, pompus tool. i have always loathed this clown since Sneak Previews (before At the Movies) and would love to chairface this ass monkey... not because he's inept at actually forming his own opinion on movies (b/c he only likes movies that he's "supposed to" and probably paid to like), or because he doesn't like my kind of movies (okay, mainly because of this) but because he's an arrogant prick of a human. He wants to make fun of ppl who camp out to be first in a movie? Hey Dillhole, you get PAID to see movies BEFORE they get released! I'm sure if there was a Grand Opening at Dunkin Donuts, or Ponderosa/Shakey's you'd be first in line for that with you're gold trim bib and you'd have to park right up to the buffet to gorge yourself... wanna know how i really feel? anyway...
From Ebert's "Answer Man" column in the Chicago Sun-Times (this guy's question is great, first sentence is everything Ebert could never be)

Q. As a high school teacher, father, husband and "Star Wars" fan, I must register my offense at your "Fanboys" review. My involvement with the "Star Wars" fandom lifestyle has brought me countless memories and friendships. It has opened the door to relationships with my students and colleagues I would otherwise been ignorant of. I am among a legion of "Star Wars" fans. It's time you stopped posing for your fellow critics....in other words,
You've obviously caught a lot of flak for your favorable review of "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace." Perhaps you're slinging mud at what appears to be an easy target as a means of earning back some credibility. Look at the breadth and depth of the community you alienate. We are doctors, lawyers, teachers, priests, authors, actors, accountants, custodians, social workers, construction workers and more. We are too big to be dismissed.

A. I have received a lot of unhappy feedback from that review, in which I wrote: "Anyone who would camp out in a tent on the sidewalk for weeks in order to be first in line for a movie is more into camping on the sidewalk than movies." I have now learned many things about myself, most of which I cannot print here, although they solved the puzzle of what I would do with a third thumb. I was unfair in referring to all fans, when the ones I was thinking of were the heroes of "Fanboys."

Triskaidekaphobia: fear of the number 13

One of the most common fears, but still senseless, even Adolf Hitler was triskaidekaphobic. There a specific fear of Friday the 13th as well, called paraskavedekatriaphobia. Tetraphobia is the fear of the number 4, more popular in China, Japan, and Korea.
