Chatter and Verse

You’re welcome

I found out during a workout a few days ago that “Praise you” remixes by Fatboy Slim works great to keep 100 strides a minute. Doesn’t pump me up like Eminems “Lose Yourself,” though, which also sometimes makes me cry.

Is Source Code a remake of Deja Vu? I’d never heard of this movie, even though it stars Val and Denzel. It’s about the military and time jumping.

I love that this clever ad is titled “Ahab.” the Car is white.

Saw this on Sunday Morning. Gautier (not hayride, as the iPhone continually wants it to say) designed Madonna’s pointy boobs and Chris Tucker’s outfit from Fifth Element.

I am still trying to gather my thoughts regarding the Ed Helms vehicle, Cedar Rapids. I can say that it is strangely lacking in Grant Wood related story connections. The refreshing presence of Alia Shawkat is sullied by her Role as a hooker with a heart of gold.

I had some difficulty with how large the plane was that picked up Ed Helms from the small town airport. It was oddly large.

Alexander Payne was a producer and it felt like Alexander Payne a little bit. There’s a lot of E M Forster’s precept to ‘only connect.’ However, the smallness of the lives of these people are presented in a stilted, almost mean spirited way (the scavenger hunt is for a $45 gift certificate to a Japanese restaurant in a mall) that detracts from their ability to connect with the viewer.

I don’t know, watch it if u want.

Started watching The Fades tonight. Apparently it’s taken Britain by storm. Its about people with visions of the apocalypse. I’m not sure how I feel after the first 15 minutes, but it could be good. I also really liked Terminator 3, too, though. Need to start Being Human BBC.

Or some such nonsense. That’s what my former uncle used to say when hisbrothers-in-law challenged his ne’er do well (in a bad way) style.

My newest get famous or die trying scheme is to listen to every song on my iPod while working out and then sharing my impressions with my readers. It’s the perfect combination of obsession, narcissism, and crazy that the internets love.

“But sure,” I hear you saying, “aren’t they songs you chose?”

Well, yes they are, and they are only a small subset of my entire iTunes collection, which sits on a desktop computer used only for the purpose of storing iTunes because it’s my phone. But, that written, there are still a lot of questionable choices. Split Lip Rayfield? What is that? Quasimoto?

*I actually don’t have any Lord Quas. For illustrative purposes only. ONLY!

Fellow university of Mississippi alumnus Eli Manning kicks some serious ass.

Cap’n says I’m dumb as a carp, here’s how to visit Downton Abbey
