Pie?
Can you bring a whole pie on an airplane?
Because that would make travelling so much better.
If you know, please tell me. I'm genuinely interested.

Today's Word Of The Day
Inefficiency
Does one brand need more than one store within a given mall? Abercrombie and Fitch, I'm looking at you.
On a related note, you have no idea how much it pained me to teach my phone those two words.
Most inefficient mall ever. And I haven't even mentioned the thousands of individual levels yet.
Ala Moana, you suck. I'm going to Barnes and Noble.

Up
I think this is Pixar's latest movie. And I do loves me some Pixar.
And it appears that it stars a crotchety old man as the main character. Which is fantastic. Because, I do believe that I've documented time and time again on this blog my deep respect and admiration of crotchety old men. And my desire to be one eventually.
Also, damn good use of the montage for the opening/intro scenes. Made especially better by the fact that it was done with absolutely no dialogue.
And Mr. Fredrickson is damned awesome. And damned crotchety.
A little bit depressing in the beginning, though. Although, what strikes me the most about the beginning of this movie is the music. I really like the music they used for the first couple of scenes.
Also, it would appear that the voices of one of the dogs is Delroy Lindo. Who is awesome. And has an awesome name.
Also, SQUIRREL!
Sadly, was enjoying the movie too much for a decent review...

2010 Chinese Grand Prix Qualifying
For the third time in four races, blog favorite Sebastian Vettel starts on pole.
That, couples with the fact that he won last year means that things are looking good for Operation Vettel for World Champion.
Also, to continue discussion if folks named Seb, Swiss driver Sebastien Buemi qualified thirteenth. You might remember him from yesterday's post. The one with the two front wheels going on vacation. I guess that speaks pretty highly of his willingness to get back to work after what must have been a terrifying and disconcerting incident. And also of Scuderia Torro Rosso's engineers ability to rebuild the car in relatively rapid time.
I'm sort of hoping for a boring race tomorrow. Partially due to my desire for Vettel to win, and partially because I won't be watching.

Yay, fancy phone!
Rather than having to mess with trying to figger out if this airport has free WiFi, I have been able to screw around on the internet using my phone!
If I wasn't sold on the awesomeness of my fancy phone yet, this would have gone a long way to convincing me.
But, I was already convinced a few months back when I used the phone from inside Shenandoah National Park to find a new climbing area when Trevor and I discovered that Skyline Drive was closed due to excessive snow.
I'm not normally one to say this, but: yay for technology.

American Gangster
Denzel Washington, Russel Crowe (2007) A Harlem mobster combines ingenuity and strict business codes to dominate organized crime, while a veteran cop searches for a way to bring him down. Based on a true story.
Interesting movie. Nothing too special.
Good use of music, though. Especially the use of Amazing Grace near the climax of the movie.

The Randy Report: Qatar 2010
Started 4th, finished 6th. Stayed on his bike for the entire race. Which is getting to be less and less of a profound accomplishment for Mr. de Puniet.
Damn close to 3rd place for the American Nicky Hayden. Passed on the last few meters of the front straight. Good full-time MotoGP debut for the rookie American Ben Spies (who really enjoys T-Rexes) in 5th.
Win by reigning World Champion Valentino Rossi.
But, sadly the DVR didn't record the interview, so I can't recount Rossi's word choice.

Mega Piranha
Tiffany, Paul Logan (2010) Mutated Amazonian fish eat their way toward Florida.
Syfy Saturday movie from 4/10.
I do believe that this is one of those The Asylum productions. Which means that I've got about an hour and forty minutes of pure awesomeness in my future.
So, a dude, and his love interest are swimming in a river. The woman starts screaming and flailing. Instead of trying to figure out what's going on, the guy just starts swimming as fast as he can in the other direction. Which, in this case is a good idea. Because his woman just got et by piranhas. Not sure if they're mega yet, but perhaps that'll be explained shortly. Anyways, that's quite the
And in true Asylum fashion, we've just seen an alligator. Or, more accurately, and more true to The Asylum, we've just seen a very poorly CGed alligator. Followed shortly by a lot of poorly CGed fish. Followed shortly by a poorly CGed boat sinking.
And sadly, it seems that I'm not going to enjoy reviewing this one as much as my previous movie. Mainly because all of the characters seem to be terrifically annoying.
Although, that was quite possibly the most absurd scene I've ever seen. Random Annoying Main Character Guy (Who's Annoying) laying on his back kicking poorly CGed fish as they leap at him. Or more accurately, just sort of flailing around.
Also, the Wikipedia article for this movie is pretty awesome. Completely and utterly impartial plot summary. Yup. Totally. Notable quote: "Special Agent Fitch resorts to using the diplomacy of his fists"
Oh no! They can live in the ocean!
And they keep mixing up random shots of different random navy ships.
And now the piranhas are randomly jumping out of the water and lodging themselves in hotels and on the beach...

First of: Completely ridiculous concept for a show.
Secondly: Apparently not popular enough to warrant an entire studio audience. Well over half of the audience that is "watching" in the studio, is actually a projection on the screen.

I've decided that when I become emperor of the world, I'm going to organize a bunch of squads of attack helicopters.
And those attack helicopters' sole purpose in life will be to hunt down and destroy Honda CRVs.
All because some *redacted* decided that they wanted to follow me last night for a while. Either using his/her high-beams, or just using the standard lights which just happened to be aligned to shine right in my rear view mirror.
And all of this happened as I was driving home from work at 11PM. And angry. So, now I have a new goal in life.

Eragon
Ed Speleers, Jeremy Irons (2006) The discovery of a dragon's egg puts a poor farm boy on the path to his destiny to be a Dragon Rider and defeat an evil king. Based on the book by Christopher Paolini.
Syfy Saturday movie from 4/3.
This is one of those movies that I had absolutely no desire to see when it came out in theaters. And now I'm compelled to watch it, as it is the Syfy Saturday movie. Oh, good! I'm looking forward to it already.
But on the plus side, its got Jeremy Irons in it, and he's got an awesome accent.
Also: John Malkovich! As a character named Galbatorix.
And some guy just found the dragon egg thing... I'm pretty sure that if I found such a thing I'd be very disappointed when I discovered that it wasn't actually a giant jelly bean. Although, it would probably make a fantastical mount of scrambled eggs. Or egg. As I would definitely be hoping it was an unfertilized egg.
Also, "Some Guy" is apparently named Eragon. After the movie. Wonder what would have happened if the movie had been named Aloysius Clodhopper. Some Guy would probably have been mocked endlessly at school. Also, Aloysius' brother is King David. Or at least he spent some of his life playing the role of David Shepherd in the late TV show Kings. And as such, I shall name him Finklestien. Finklestien Clodhopper. Now that's a name. But sadly, he's not the main character of this movie, so it seems that I shall only spend my time talking about Aloysius. Especially because Finklestien is leaving his family so he doesn't get drafted by the evil king (Galbatorix Malkovich) to join the apparently evil army. Presumably he's going off to Canada. Or Schenectady. Because who wouldn't want to go to a place called Schenectady?
And how do we know that Galbatorix Malkovich's army is evil? Because they stole Jeremy Irons' bird-things that he caught/poached. And we know that's evil because because Jeremy Irons has a beard. And he can't be evil with a beard. And its been a few minutes since Galbatorix Malkovich has shown up on screen, so I can't remember if he has a beard, thus rendering my hypothesis completely fallacious.
And right on cue, Galbatorix has showed up on screen. And he does happen to have a beard. But its a scraggly-ass stubble-beard. And not a full-on beard like Jeremy Irons'. Not that I can really complain about scraggly-ass stubble-beards. But that would be why I rock the goatee. Or at least I don't try to rock it as a beard, just as a lazy-man-stubble concoction.
Also, its got Robert Carlyle in it. You know, the guy from Stargate Universe? The guy who's trying to be a serious actor? Yeah him. Anyways, he's got all sorts of weird facial tattoo-mark-things. And looks completely ridiculous.
Also, Beardy Irons' character's name is Brom. Nice. Simple. And distinctly not Galbatorix.
Apparently dragon's in Christopher Paolini's world are feathered. Which is weird. I'd always figgered that they were more of a scaly type. (Consummate V's. Consummate)
Also, it would appear that Galbatorix Malkovich's troops just killed Aloysius' father. Who I have just named Hathcock. But, as he is now dead, it is unlikely that we will see Hathcock Clodhopper again. Especially now that Jeremy Irons just burned down his cottage/hut/thing in an attempt (that was successful) to get Aloysius to run away from Galbatorix and his troops that were probably just around the corner.
And apparently Finklestien may actually be Aloysius' cousin, and not his brother as I initially thought.
And another reason that we know that Galbatorix's troops are evil: They're ugly. You never see the good guys in movies employing the ugly creatures, like goblins and whatnot. And apparently Jeremy is being pursued by drippy worm creatures. Which isn't entirely an accurate description. More like drippy worm dudes. Or dudes who seem to be made of worms, and randomly leak off bits of worm for no apparent reason. Or DWSTBMOFWARLOBOWFNAR. For short. But they seem to have been all killified.
In this Robert Carlyle/Dark Magic Cloud Monster vs. Aloysius/Dragon tag-team battle of ultimate climacticness, Aloysius seems to be doing a fat lot of nothing. Dragon's pretty much carrying the team. Basically, his role could have been served by an lance, or arrow, or sharp pointy stick.
And emo-boy turned out not to be evil in the end, even though his father was some sort of evil dude. Way to go, that guy.

Dark Relic
James Frain (2010) In 1099, a knight unites with unlikely allies to defeat a murderous demon.
Syfy Saturday movie from 3/27. Also, the movie that was named by Syfy's name a movie contest thing. Which means that the rules for this contest were to create the lamest name for a movie possible. Tis a shame. I imagine that they got quite a few significantly more awesome submissions. Honestly, I was hoping for something in the "Megashark vs. Giant Octopus" vein, and not the "Dark Relic" vein. Because the latter is lame. And the former is awesome.
And it looks like the first guy who showed up on screen is wearing knitted armor. I'm assuming its supposed to look like chainmail. But it looks like knitted yarn.
Shades of Odysseus and Aeoleus' Bag O' Wind (Was it Aeoleus? Who really knows....). The relic that the illustrious knights are transporting is being kept in a box, and the knights aren't allowed to look in... So, naturally, I'm guessing that they're all gonna.
Also, its apparently Aeolus. Pretty darn close, for someone who hasn't read the Odyssey in quite some time.
And there was just a storm on the boat. And one of the characters dreamed about a demon during the night. And then a character commented how he didn't remember anything about the night before, as he must have blacked out. But I didn't pay enough attention to see if it was the same dude. My guess is that it was. And I'm thinking that its gonna be one of those movies where the main character is actually the bad guy (Were-rabbit, anyone?), and then eventually sacrifices himself in the climax to save his compatriots.
But, telling you whether I was correct in my prediction would definitely require me to figure out which of the knights is which. And pay attention. Which, as we all know, is rather unlikely.
Also, the "chainmail" is definitely knitted yarn...
And now there are locusts. For some reason. And now they're gone.
And now there are zombies.
The locusts I can understand. What with the whole Biblical plague thing that they've got going on. But zombies? Perhaps there's a bit of Exodus that I really don't remember reading...
And for some reason, if you get bit by a zombie, you turn into some sort of tentacle beast.
And then the demon exploded, for no apparent reason.
