I'm Having Second Thoughts About iTunes Genius

...since they've reduced my musical tastes to the Bee Gees, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and Chicago.  I only admit to liking Stevie of those, but on a whim I took the plunge and downloaded a Bee Gees anthology and a few Elton John songs.  Okay I'm sorry but Daniel and How Deep Is Your Love are great songs.  Am I turning into my very own soft rock station?  Maybe this is what it's like to age.

"One of the comments the reds use to disparage White Nationalists is that we are stupid. Well, they haven't looked at this Guestbook recently! ... The reds are intellectual dwarfs. They are as thick as pig shit. And they are loosing the battle, and they know It."

2008 Movies

Becca and I have taken it upon ourselves to sit through as many of the worst movies of 2008 as we could, and boy-o are there a lot.  Let's see!

Jumper: Starring that expressionless kid who made us hate Darth Vader all over again, this film knows no bounds in boredom.

Cloverfield: Did we really waste half the movie following identical A&F models at some dull party just to set us up for that?

Hancock: Passable for the first half, and then it spirals out of control as you witness the attempts of the producers to rewrite the ending of the novel it was based on.

Pineapple Express: You like yourself a little bit less after finding yourself laughing at it.

Sweeney Todd: As soon as the film opened, I knew I had made a huge mistake.  The tagline should have been "The film that will make you think less of Tim Burton".

Teeth: It's sort of impressive that given the concept, they chose to take it down a serious path.  Impressive in a bewildering way.

Fool's Gold: You know those people who recommend the Olive Garden?  They also recommend Fool's Gold.

The Hottie and the Nottie: I can't believe we managed to sit through this.  Considering however much money they put into it, it's amazing there isn't a single redeeming thing about it.  Perhaps some sort of conspiracy.

Charlie Bartlett: This was insulting to my sensibilities and overly confusing in its earnest attempts to be good and failing so badly.

Shutter: Some movies make you feel smart for guessing what happens next at every step, and some make you feel stupid for wasting your time with a predictable and poorly acted film written by seven year olds.

The House Bunny: Say what you will about how insulting to the intelligence this film is to anyone who has graduated kindergarten, but Anna Faris's Yoda voice is hilarious.  They could make an entire film about her going around talking like that in everyday situations.  And it would be better than The House Bunny.

Posterous Fun!

I'd like to get to know some of the people on posterous a bit better than their little personal snippets allow, so say a bit about who you are, as a human, in a comment.  Let down some of your barriers and come clean.  I'll start in the comments.  Keep in mind, that if I don't get any bites, I'll be super sad.

My Transition

As my number of posterous subscribers reaches the number of my Tumblr subscribers (64-65), I feel the urge to say I've inadvertently switched to posterous.  I still upload photos to Tumblr, which I avoid doing on this blog, but my written posts are pretty much depleted over there.  Also, I feel so scrawny and unimportant in Tumblr that anything I write is hindered by my low self-confidence and fear of my boss, my ex, my family, and my friends reading it.

Also, what the hell Tumblrs, stop unfollowing me.  Posterous keeps sending me new subscribers, each one a flower in my heart.  The medicinal value of flora in my blood vessels is as of yet unknown.

What I'd like to see are more comments, because I like people.  Since posterous has comments, I'm embracing the conversational attitude that it evokes.  You can comment to any of my old posts because I get notified of any of them, and a lot of my previous posts are better than what I've been posting lately.  You'll also notice that I don't respond to all of my comments like some lonely LiveJournal refugee, because some comments don't ask for responses and some I just don't understand.

I've said it before, but posterous lacks community.  That said, I'm not sure I like what the Tumblr community has turned into.  It's so full of latent teenage angst and vitriol that I don't read my dashboard very often anymore, and the parts of it I still enjoy are from the lesser-known Tumblrs.  So here's my chance to be a part of the posterous community.  Hi.
