I hate this thing
I know I’m probably going to offend some people when I say this, so I half-heartedly apologize in advance.
I think this widget could be about the tackiest thing I’ve ever seen. Honestly, what makes you think anyone wants to see a baby floating around in your virtual uterus, squiggly umbilical cord and all? I’m happy that you’re having a kid. Really. Congratulations. That’s wonderful news. I don’t want a sneak peek. Thanks though. So I decided to prove the ridiculousness of the widget by cramming 10 little fetuses in my virtual uterus (I never thought I would write those words) and watching them grow. Like sea monkeys. In a few months we’ll see how my digital offspring fare in their crammed space. Also, I hate blogs that play music automatically when the page loads.
Hmmm… I think I want to get a degree
I found this beaut’ on KSL’s homepage. If I understand correctly, it reads:
“Education! What separates us from a dead fly.”
Now, I generally eschew taking advertising too literally but I’m not sure how else to interpret this one. And why is the fly hovering? Thoughts?
George Lucas screws up yet another franchise [SPOILERS]
Originally, George Lucas wanted to call the movie Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men From Mars. That alone should give you a feeling for the quality of this movie’s screenplay. Still skeptical? Here are some of the more memorable scenes from the film:
- Shia Labeouf swinging through the jungle with a legion of monkeys
- Everyone surviving a trip over three consecutive, 100+ foot Amazonian waterfalls
- Aliens from another dimension
- A nuclear explosion
Even with the expectation that since this was Indiana Jones that things were going to be above and beyond (how many times can a 60 year-old guy get punched in the face?), the movie was gag-inducing at parts. Too many parts. Sure, there were some good scenes (granted, I can’t think of any of them at the moment) and Harrison Ford does a pretty good job, but overall the movie didn’t bring anything new to the table and was over-the-top hokey.
If you’re an Indy fan, you’ll probably see the movie anyway. If you’re hesitant and don’t care about seeing it on the big screen, wait for it to come to DVD.
