Can't Help It

But this is funny.

Eagle Eye

Now, you all know that I rarely come across a movie I don't enjoy. So with that said, I enjoyed Eagle Eye greatly. It is like a cross between 'Enemy of the State' and the Anime 'Ghost in the Shell'. The first half is a mystery since you have no idea what is going on nor do the characters. Couple parts in an extended car chase scene made me go 'wow'.

Once they reveal how most of it fits together a little past half way through the rest of the movie is about how to stop whatever it is, etc. It leaves some mystery going until the very end. I liked the plot because of the 'Ghost in the Machine' sorta tie in.

All in all, it is a good movie if you want something distracting for a couple of hours.

Fail Blog

How did I not find out about this sooner? Fantastic!

This is my favorite so far, because it is so geeky.

So I Sit

So I sit in this big ass theater right in the middle with my gallon of lemonade and nachos waiting for the movie to start. It has occurred to me to sit up in the back right corner and look suspicious but I decided against that.

This is why I prefer to be late to movies instead of early. Too many damn commercials and my mind wonders all over the place.

Now a couple has shown up and the theater doesn't feel as, I don't know, solitary? And now more people.

Let the movie begin!

America

Fuck Yeah!

Books!

Joe Update

Just got off the phone with Joe. He sounds very update and cheerful. Here is the deal.

He has had four operations with one more scheduled in January then radiation. The tumor was never cancerous but the radiation is the only way to get at the last part of it. They think he may have had it since birth and it just kept growing until it hit 'critical mass'.

The down side to all of this is that he is deaf on his right side and he can only make out blurred shapes. The eye sight most likely won't come back, unfortunately, so he has been looking into schools for Braille and the like.

On the plus side, he has lost a lot of weight and is still alive. :)

All and all, like I said before he is very upbeat about all of this and taking it in stride. If anyone who knows him wants to join me in a visit sometime, let me know.
