Today's Word Of The Day
Success!
In addition to finding out that my fleece has pockets that fit my Kindle perfectly (which I discovered last week some time), I discovered my suit coat has a pocket that will also hold the Kindle.
This is fantastic!

Category 7: The End of the World
'05. Massive storms wreak havoc around the globe. Starring Gina Gershon, Cameron Daddo, Shannen Doherty, Randy Quaid, James Brolin, Swoosie Kurtz. Director: Dick Lowry.
Syfy Saturday movie from 1/22.
This is one of those 2 part TV miniseries, so its 4 hours long. Also, its the sequel to another one of them, appropriately named Category 6. I think I reviewed it earlier.
However, in this one, there are approximately 150 different subplots. And I only care about 2. The one concerning the murder investigation in Sweden, and the one with the Cheerios and yogurt. But, sadly those aren't actually in the movie; they're in my Kindle and bowl, respectively.

Flogging Molly: Live at the Greek
Being used to bands such as Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, and Rush, the drum kit just seems so paltry in this...
But, whatever the drummer lacks in equipment, the band certainly makes up in snazziness. 3 of them are wearing pretty fancy hats. And I do like the whole aesthetic they've got going on, being dressed all fancy like, but sufficiently relaxed. The whole buttoned up suit with a tie, but unbuttoned top button. Looks good...

The Cave
'05. Monsters hunt explorers in underground caverns. Starring: Cole Hauser, Morris Chestnut, Eddie Cibrian, Rick Ravanello, Marcel Iures, Kieran Darcy-Smith. Director Bruce Hunt
Syfy Saturday movie from 12/18.
Good thing she decided to bring climbing shoes and a trad rack on her cave diving expedition. The shoes are Mad Rocks, by the way. Also, she seems to have similar skills to Sylvester Stallone in Cliffhanger: The uncanny ability to leap hundreds of feet, and then catch oneself on relatively small holds. Without injury. Although it would appear that Stallone had the ability to not be in a movie with angry monsters that eat people. Because that kinda screwed over that woman.
Also, either worst belayer ever, or worst protection ever...
And Lena Heady or whatever the hell her name is (the one who played Sarah Connor on that Terminator TV show) is wearing a wetsuit that Valentino Rossi would be proud of. Not that I think that any of my readers would understand that reference...
Also, apparently Daniel Dae Kim (aka that Korean guy from Lost) isn't cool enough to make the list of stars.
And then the cave blew up. For some reason.

World of Adventure Sports
Something that the TV just randomly was tuned to.
Basically should be subtitled "Things which are sponsored by Red Bull"

Hardwired
2009. A man asks a hacker for help after a sinister company plants a computer chip in his head. Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr., Val Kilmer, Michael Ironside, Robert Clarke, Dave Cote, Alastair Gamble. Director Ernie Barbarash. From USA/CAN
In this movie, it would appear that the Washington Monument has been branded by Trojan... Subtle...
I'm trying to figure out whether this is Val Kilmer's hugely fat phase, or before. I'm guessing it is. But from the shoulders up shot that we've seen thus far, it is certainly in his crazy hair phase.
Also, its been a while, but: Colonel Reynolds!
Yup. That's right, I finally got around to identifying a Stargate character...
And now, after a brief interlude of learning about the relative importance of Fennec Foxes in comparison to the other animals at the Honolulu Zoo, I'm back to my movie... (hint: 0 = The white part of this very small pie chart represents the relative importance of them. There is a very skinny vertical black line, but you can't see it. If I were to make a bigger pie chart you could totally see it, I swear...)
Although, was that actually a hint? Because I really just kinda told you everything you need to know about the topic. Well, not everything, but a pretty significant amount.
Yup, fat.
And Sgt. Siler! Haven't seen him in a very long time... Getting punched in the head.... Just like old times.
Also, the climax of the movie involves approximately 20 Fat Kilmers. That's a lot of cubic Kilmer.

Ewwww.
If you're ever motivated to try those Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, don't. 2 Fish, 2 Gravy, 2 Pepper, Sausage, Pizza, and Ketchup jelly beans are a really crappy way to start the morning.

Brutal Legend
While it has a really good soundtrack, it is quite possibly the most annoying game ever.
Impossible controls, and the final battle is super annoying when the bad guy gets his stupidly overpowered army...

Had some carrots the other day. Some were good, some were bad.
I informed my mother, who had purchased them. She seemed less interested in my carrot exploits than my faithful readers...

Sheepish
So, as I was leaving, riding the elevator down, I farted... And then I got off on the ground floor. And then some guy got on the elevator going up.
I kinda feel bad for that guy...

Triassic Attack
2010. A sheriff must save his town when dinosaur skeletons come back to like. Starring: Steven Brand, Raoul Trjillo. From Unknown.
Syfy Saturday Movie from 11/27.
Hmmm. This sheriff's uniform looks really familiar. Could be something to do with the fact that this movie is directed by Colin Ferguson? You know, that Colin Ferguson. Quite possibly the best sheriff ever. Sheriff Jack Carter.
Methinks this movie could be better if Colin Ferguson was the one wearing that sheriff uniform. Although, from certain angles, in poor light, he does look like Carter.
Divorced sheriff, rebellious daughter, tan uniform, Oregon... Herr Doktor Sheriff Ferguson seems to be directing what he knows... Hoping for significantly more snark.
And yes, in my mind, I am pretending that this Sheriff guy is in fact Colin Ferguson.
Also, in other news, why are there dinosaur bones at a Native American Museum. If I'd cared enough, I'd rewind to the part of the movie when the guy walked by the sign, but rest assured, the name of the movie is something do do with Indians or Native Americans.
Sadly, the deputy is some dude. And does not have nearly as big guns. And that's not a double entendre.
And the Sheriff's daughter's boyfriend is potentially named "Pants". Which endears him to me. But his douchebaggery doesn't.
Also, just realized that the sheriff drives a Jeep as his sheriffin' mobile. Sadly not a Cherokee, though.
And that was in fact a terrible plan. Too complicated to describe properly, but it was pretty terrible. Probably should have just gone through the door before you closed it. And then you wouldn't have had to take fate into your own hands with the ladder...
Also, now they're calling in the army... cadets... This can only go well...
So, a dude figures out that the dinosaurs don't like eating things coated in poop. So, naturally he coats himself.
Anyways, later, he saves a kid by hiding in a trash can.
Kid: You stink!
Poop guy: It's poop!
*wipes arm on kid's shirt*
Thank you Sheriff Carter. Although you didn't write that particular line, I'm still giving you credit for it...
Also, everyone in this movie seems to be foreign. Because they keep randomly lapsing into accents. For example the Sheriff is a Scottish actor, and at random points in time, you can tell. At others, he pulls off the American accent pretty well...
And not-Jo just got tail whipped by a skeletor T-rex. Or actually, a skeletor T-Rex Pteranadon Raptor hybrid thing... Screw all these people. Sorry, faux sheriff Carter, but I'm rooting for the flying T-Rex skeleton.
I just cracked up at the thought of the auditions for the main character. Colin Ferguson's just sitting there... "Nope, doesn't look like me. Nope, him either. Nope. HEY! I've found my lead! Who gives a damn if he can act, he looks pretty similar to me!"

There was snow over night. Luckily the roads were clear, and didn't inhibit my exciting wonderful plans.

Wisniewski
Apparently he's a hockey player on the Canadiens. And is handling the puck quite a bit, requiring the announcers to keep repeating his name. It amuses me greatly.
And they also have a guy named Benoît Pouliot. Who has significantly less of an accent (read: none) than you'd expect, with a name like that.

Syfy Saturday movie from 12/25.
Because nothing says Christmas like a gob of CG sharks.
Involved sharks. A lot of sharks. And was 4 hours long. And I didn't really pay attention.
