Super Bowl XLII Pick

Rambo
Very entertaining. You might have heard that it’s really violent. It’s really violent. Rambo kills more people than the Cloverfield monster. The dialog isn’t great, but I don’t think anyone was expecting that. It easily maxes out a 10/10 on … Continue reading

Freaks and Geeks
I finally finished Freaks and Geeks. Add me to the group of people sad about it being only one season long. It’s produced by Judd Apatow, the same guy behind 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Superbad. And every actor in … Continue reading

Pot Roast
Made a pot roast tonight. Used the recipe from one of the Good Eats episodes. Or I guess not so much. I used salt, pepper, onions, and garlic. Didn’t have any of the vinegar, tomato juice, or cumin. I did … Continue reading

Scanner Press
Went on a field trip with my print production class to Scanner, a print press place. To sum it up, there was a bunch of expensive, industrial equipment, and half of the stuff just isn’t used because the industry is mostly digital these days. For the most part, it was impressive (pun intended), but I’m still slightly disappointed because I was expecting something more like this video (featuring Jerry).

Watch the first twenty seconds of this recap of the Federer/Tipsarevic match at the Australian Open. Wait until after the first highlight, when they show a close up of Tipsarevic. What’s he doing? Only the greatest fist pump in history.

Quick thoughts about the MacBook Air
MacBook Air was announced today. This description I don’t like so much: “MacBook Air sets new standards for ultra-portable computing ÇƒÓ without the usual ultra-portable compromises.” Instead of the usual compromises, it’s got an unusual compromise—there’s no CD/DVD drive, but … Continue reading

O Brother, Where Art Thou?
I’m getting sort of repetitive in these movie reviews, but, again, really good movie. It’s kind of hard for me to believe it’s been nearly eight years since it was released. It sort of reminds me of Big Fish, which … Continue reading

The Orphanage
Do make sure to see this while it’s still showing in theaters. It’s in Spanish-Spanish, so it’s subtitled. I think subtitles might help with a horror movie, because you tend to focus a little harder so you don’t miss anything. … Continue reading

Christmas Party 1
I tried using my fisheye lens again. I’m starting to like it more and more. I’m improving with the manual focus, but I’m still nowhere close to good. Only like 1 shot in 20 is really sharp, but it sure feels good when it happens. It seems to work well for parties. The pictures were very warm to begin with because I had the wrong white balance about half the time. I don’t know if this is much of an improvement, but I tried.

Really good. Creates tension better than any horror movie of at least the last three years. These guys can act. As far as I remember, there’s no background music, which was kind of interesting. There’s not too much to say … Continue reading

Alien vs. Predator: Requiem
This is a terrible movie. I didn’t think they could make a sequel worse than the first, but they gave 110% and did it. It’s been turned into a bad slasher. From the previews, it sort of seems like everything … Continue reading
