Vision Restored for the Blind
I'm guessing she wears sunglasses. Isn't that what a lot of blind people do for various reasons anyway? And with a tooth for an eye, they don't have to be the large, Jackie O type of shades.— September 29, 2009 2:07 a.m.
Diving (not driving) with Golf Balls
Since the story I read didn't say...I'm guessing it wasn't something crazy like a golf ball getting sucked down his snorkel or an alligator attacking him. I don't dive, but from what I understand, there are lots of complications that can happen.— September 29, 2009 1:41 a.m.
Polanski Children Center -- Celebrity Idiots in the News
I heard Whoopi, and a few other celebs, talk about how in other countries things are different with kids. And that means very little to me with this case, as that wasn't the law at the time. And no matter how much they lower it, I seriously doubt it will become 13 that's the age of consent. I'd like to tell Whoopi, and the other idiots that feel this way...that in France they may let kids drink wine with dinner. But that doesn't mean someone from France, that was in this country, getting kids drunk, would be the same thing. Bottom line is, follow the laws in this country if you're in this country. And it baffles me that all these Hollywood types will support this guy, just because they appreciate his art. Even Tarantino, in Basterds, had a line that went something like "In France, we appreciate our directors" or some such thing. It's insane.— September 29, 2009 1:40 a.m.
The Informant!
Shiz, you nailed it with this write-up. NOt quite funny enough, but rather enjoyable, because his non-sequitars were funny and interesting enough (the music was rather annoying, dontcha think?) I know some big name person did it...Marvin Hamlisch or someone, but who cares. It was awkward to listen to. Also, Matt Damon looked too much like one of The Kids in the Hall, which was also distracting.— September 28, 2009 8:27 p.m.
More Pig-Head Press
Also...it was kind of cool for Seth to write (I could be getting this wrong, but if memory serves)...that he was upset with some of the awards and how they were awarded.— September 28, 2009 8:24 p.m.
This. And That.
Can someone explain to me why Michael Bennet didn't get more carries in that game?— September 28, 2009 8:19 p.m.
Polanski Children Center -- Celebrity Idiots in the News
Pete, it's not so much that "everyone deserves a second chance" as much as...VICK DID JAIL TIME! Polanski never did his sentence. He simply fled the country. And, I'd love to ask Polanski...if they found nazis that tortured his family...but they were 76, and living in some other country, should they be brought to justice? I'm guessing he'd say they should be jailed, and rot in jail. So...I'd ask him why the legal system should be different for him.— September 28, 2009 8:17 p.m.
Interest in the Sky
Pete, you'd never be in a tower on a college campus shooting people. I don't think you'd ever be anywhere NEAR a college campus! If you were going to shoot up a place, I think you'd just walk into a liquor store, or kinda do it the way Michael Douglas did in Falling Down. He shot up the idiots in the world that (mostly) deserved it. If you want to get into doing it "postal"...you'd better hurry. Pretty soon, won't be many post offices left (note to self: find out where all these disgruntled postal workers will go, when they're out of work).— September 27, 2009 2:17 p.m.
Watchmen
Jay...with talk of Jackie Earle Haley, don't forget to mention his recent performance (which garnered an Oscar nomination), as the child molestor in Little Children (I believe that was the films title). Also, you mention the music not working. I agree on all those points, but you forgot the biggest misfire of all. Using Leonard Cohens Halleluhaj, during a love scene. It was just...bizarre. Overall, I find it odd that anyone would think this movie was a waste of time. Too many interesting visuals and interesting scenes, even if it has a bunch of misfires.— September 27, 2009 2:10 p.m.
Take Me to the Pilot -- Stalker Stories
I don't think it happens like that. Because any guy with half a brain, would realize that if someone is stalking them, they have mental problems. Your ego shouldn't be involved in "enjoying" that. Of course...with Letterman and that stalker (who finally killed herself jumping in front of a train), at least he got material for his monologues.— September 27, 2009 10:11 a.m.
