Crappy.
Guess who is crappy at climbing.
Hint: it is me.
Hint 2: that wasn't actually a hint.

Well Played, Kindle
Apparently there are some issues in translating books into the electronic files used by the Kindle.
For example, I just came across a sentence that should have read "Her arms around his neck..."
But, instead read "Her anus around his neck..."
Changes the meaning, a good bit, I believe...

Killer Mountain
'11. A mysterious creature terrorizes mountain climbers as they embark on a rescue mission. Starring: Aaron Douglas, Paul Campbell, Torrance Coombs.
Worst belayer ever.
And as much as I would desire that to be the extent of my review I must question the actions of one of the characters. He is looking at a map laying on a table. And blood starts dripping on it from above. And instead of looking up and wondering what the fuck it was, he does the whole "dab 2 fingers into the puddle, and smear it around with the thumb, while looking at it contemplatively".
Also, all these fools gon' die. There are 5 of them roped together. Climbing a sheer rock face. With seemingly no gear. So, I guess if one of them slips, the lot of them are gonna peel off the wall and make a nice cylon splat. In case you weren't aware, Aaron Douglas was a Cylon on Battlestar Galactica.
Apparently when you fly a helicopter so high that the air is too thin, it randomly causes sparks in the cockpit. And thus disappears he who my brother has nicknamed the "Mexican Mustache". Although, reports of his demise were premature. By about 15 seconds.
I hope everyone in this movie dies. They just suck at climbing. In fact, this movie would be pretty darn hilarious if everyone were to die due to various climbing chicaneries. Before they even encounter the monster.
Also, mystery leeches.
Also, it would appear that the Mexican Mustache has survived. But it looks like another one of those things where I say something, only for it to be revealed as untrue 15 seconds later.
Apparently their cams can't hold a person falling (although that was a very poorly place cam), but they can certainly hold an entire helicopter for quite some time.
And now, for something completely different. I'll get back to this at some point.

Jabberwock
'11. A peaceful man uses a powerful sword to save the woman he loves from a winged monster. Starring: Tahmoh Penikett, Kacey Barnfield, Richard Riddell, Ian Virgo, Michael Worth. Director Steven R. Monroe.
If one is to be fighting a computer generated monster with a sword, one should ensure that at least some portion of said sword goes off screen when one is meant to be striking said beast.
Also, this current scene has our intrepid heroes rock climbing and sword fighting. That would be fun. And tiring. And relatively monstericious.
Also, whenever I see this monster, I can't help but think of the phrase "Wingaling dragon".
Also, Helo and his apparently more swordtastic brother do a lot of fighting with real swords. And manage not to kill each other. Which is probably why they suck so bad at killing the jabberwock.

2011 Rugby World Cup: USA vs. Ireland
The more I watch this, the more I realize I have little to no idea what's going on.
So, when a guy falls down while holding the ball, what happens?
It appears that he can hand it off backwards towards his friends. And the other team isn't allowed to touch it until the guy picks it up and throws it?
Someone enlighten me.
Luckily, I'm pretty sure that both of my regular readers have significantly more idea what the hell is going on here.

John Casey?
Apparently he's the kicker for the Saints. Or perhaps the Packers.
So, I guess some NFL team has Jayne Cobb kicking for them?
I guess he's got to do something in the Chuck off-season...

Sounds like Dunkin' Cake Up.
Which sounds significantly awesomer than a little coffee packet.

Highlights
No, not the magazine that you always end up reading at the dentist's office. The hair color thing.
What is the purpose?
Is that supposed to look natural? Because random blond streaks on an otherwise brown head of hair doesn't look like any sort of natural.
So, what the heck's the point?

Wet.
It was wet. Very wet.
But, on the plus side, a security guard complimented Fitzgerald.

Random Place that Just Popped Into My Head
Pouhon
The name of a corner of the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.

Why is it that someone can stall on track, and then have their car restarted by the marshals, and then still be in the race?

The Final Countdown
Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, Katharine Ross
What if a 1980s American aircraft carrier (with its modern firepower) time-warped back to the Pacific waters near Pearl Harbor on December 7. 1941?
1980
Director: Don Taylor
So, what would happen?
Turns out, if this movie is to be believed, not a whole heck of a lot. A lot of debating about time travel ethics and paradoxes. Then some time-warping back to modern times on the verge of the attack.
And yes, I will admit that the only reason I watched this movie was the Europe song of the same name.
