So i have been working on my eighties movie collection lately and this was a glaring hole in it. So i picked it up and to my dissmy (there was no milk, just kidding) it wasn't nearly as good as i remembered it. i mean come on. This is a classic. The opening is still great where he's talking to the camera and shit, and cameron wears a gordie howe jersey thru the whole movie which kicks ass, but other than that it was just some damn spoiled rich kid, i simpatized with his sister thru the whole fucking movie, which is super lame.
as a movie it is a classic that spawned alot of imitators parker lewis and fbdo the show, just to name a few. but compared to other shit. no fucking thanks.

more sports rants
"Here's what referee Bill Leavy's crew did, point blank: It robbed Seattle. The Seahawks could have played better, sure. They could have done more to overcome the poor officiating. We understand that those things happen and all, but even with all the points Seattle left on the field, there's a good chance the Seahawks would have scored more than the Steelers if the officials had let the players play."
"You see, you can spend weeks -- and we did; two, in fact -- analyzing and dissecting matchups and giving each team the edge in certain areas and trying to figure out how the game is going to play out, but the two things you can't account for are turnovers and officials. The latter were the X-factor Sunday. Edge: Steelers."
"Consider: The Seahawks lost 161 yards to penalties when you combine the penalty yards (70) and the plays the flags wiped out (91). By halftime alone, when it trailed 7-3, Seattle had had 73 hard-earned yards and a touchdown eliminated."
"Still, that was early, and that one didn't change the game as much as did a holding call against Sean Locklear early in the fourth quarter with Pittsburgh leading 14-10. That one wiped out an 18-yard catch by Stevens that would have taken the ball to the 1. Locklear supposedly held Clark Haggans, so instead of first-and-goal at the 1 and the chance to complete a 98-yard touchdown drive and take a three-point lead, Seattle faced first-and-20 at the 29."
"Three plays later, Ike Taylor picked off a Hasselbeck pass, and Hasselbeck went low to make the tackle on Taylor's return and was called for a 15-yard personal foul for a low block. The Steelers set up shop at their 44. That one right there made no sense."
I went thru the roof at this point i was so fucking pissed.
"By contrast, the Steelers might have gotten a break on Roethlisberger's 1-yard touchdown plunge on third-and-goal in the second quarter. Leavy reviewed the play under the booth's orders, since it occurred inside the two-minute mark, and while still photos of an airborne Roethlisberger showed that the ball might have broken the plane of the goal line, he landed short of it and reached the ball over. It was close. Head linesman Mark Hittner didn't seem so sure of it, hesitating before signaling touchdown.
HE DIDN'T FUCKING SCORE ASS-EYED CUM DUMPSTER REFS!!!
"I don't think he scored," Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said.
It was that kind of evening for the Seahawks, who represent a town where residents know all too well that when it rains, it pours. If having what seemed like 90 percent of the 68,200 in attendance waving Terrible Towels wasn't enough to make Seattle feel as though it was playing on the road, the officials called it as though the Seahawks actually were."
" It's a real shame when, on the game's biggest stage, the major players aren't players at all. We saw too much of the third team in Super Bowl XL and not enough Seahawks and Steelers."

Mallrats
Man i love this movie. I used to love all the comic references, for a while i was in denail about being a geek and i liked the fact that even though i had quit reading comics i got all the jokes (this was a while ago when it first came out, i as most of you know have quite a habit again with the ole comic books). now my favorite line is the hockey line
"Breakfast, shmreakfast. Look at the score, for Christ's sake. It's only the second period and I'm up 12 to 2. Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, "the Whale," they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime."
I had been wanted to re-watch this for a while, and i finally got to it today. It doesn't hold up very well, im sad to say.
This makes me sad and now im afraid to rewatch all my favorite kevin smith movies.

my sports rant
I do not consider myself a "sports guy" but I do consider myself a "hockey guy". So it came to me as kind of a shock that I cared about the superbowl this year. Seattle actually has a good team. So this is what i get for caring i suppose. I have watched a couple of football games in my time, and i have seen many hockey games, and quite a few basketball games in my younger days and i have never seen a game so poorly officiated as this game. There were many blatent calls that were totally bullshit. The offensive pass interference? BULLSHIT! The holding on the awesome kickoff return? The blocking under the waist? Pitsburg did that all game. I don't have a problem with a tightly called game, in fact i like it, but if you call it on one team you HAVE TO CALL IT FOR BOTH TEAMS!!! The oficiating was so one sided it was unbelieveable Seattle outplayed them all game, pitsburg had like three good plays. fucking bullshit! yes i am biased because i like seattle but come on. This was fucking ridiculous.

X-Men Legends
Man i finally beat this game today. Now i feel like i can buy the next one if i want to. The first one was pretty damn fun. i dunno. But i did finally beat it!
WOOO

Quadrophenia
"I can't explain" is a song by the Who, but it also is a statement about this movie. I can't explain why the hell anyone likes this movie. Maybe i'm too young to get it. It's about mods in the 60's in england. I like the who ok, im not crazy about them but they have some good songs, but this movie i just didn't care about the protagonist, he's a whiny brat, and i saw his fall coming a mile away maybe in '79 it wasn't as cliched as it is now, but damn. I dunno. I would rather watch 400 blows again that movie was made in '64 but it has universal appeal. The one thing i did enjoy about this movie was the time period. It was interesting to see 60's life in england unfold.

One of those things you hear about...
Last night i went bowling at the elks lodge. Its one of those things that you hear exists but don't quite know what to think of it. It's there my friends and it's scary. For 2.50 a game with free shoes, you can marvel at the magnificent 6 lane bowling alley with all the rainer you can stand for 2.50 a bottle. and saturday night they have "intense bowl" i don't know what that is but it sounds frightening. I had heard tale of this elks bowling for years now but it's pretty sweet and fulfilling to have finally gone there and done it.

Canucks goalie Dan Cloutier (back when he was on the rangers) Kicks the Shit out of Tommy Salo
This is my all time favorite hockey fight.
Underworld :Evolution
This movie isn't fucking cinema, but it is fucking fun. I was really impressed by the simple fact that it happens like 10 minutes after the first one's over, and you could watch them back to back and it would feel like one big movie. That kicks ass. They explain things that went unexplained in the first one in believable natural ways. Not heavy handed exposition.
My biggest dissapointment with this film was not enough action. Now this sounds dumb and it kinda is but there were no sick ass moves. Like selene shooting the floor in the first one, there was some cool stuff, to be sure but, nothing like the first one. maybe the bar was alittle too high, i dunno.
overall though i did like it and will probably buy it when it comes out because i ma completionistic dork.
on a side note, i think action movie of the fucking year will be ultraviolet, that movie looks so good it hurts, and so does milla jovovich.
V for vendetta looks to be ok. I'm such a nerd and im gonna have to strive to tell myself it's not gonna be as good as the comic like constantine, and ill probably end up liking it about as much as constantine, not hating but not loving either.

"Says Steven Spielberg, never one to turn down a perch on the soapbox, ‘This is a wakeup call to all studios: We need to stop worrying only about making the No. 1 film for the July 4 weekend and realize we can all contribute something in terms of understanding the world and human rights issues,” apparently already forgetting that he directed War of the Worlds, release date: 6/29/05."
