McDonald's Commercial

Some superhero-type commercial. One of the breakfast sandwich/superhero catchphrases is "Did someone order... deliciousness?" It amused me... for some reason I haven't quite figured out yet...

I Am a Pooping Champion!

Apparently I have once again found the perfect blend of work pooping and home pooping. I finished my climbing magazine this morning. Today, a new climbing magazine showed up in the mail.

I am awesome.

Tetherball is Weird

Yup. What a wacky "sport".

Deadliest Warrior

This episode is Green Beret vs. Spetznaz. And also, its completely ridiculous...

They're comparing the statistics of the weapons used by the 2 different "warriors" by testing them. Only, they're using different tests for each, so you can't really get accurate comparisons. For example, when testing the grenades, they used different circumstances to test the Russian grenade, when compared to when they tested the American grenade. And then they just kind of make up a reason why one of them should be superior.

And the narrator is completely annoying...

Also, the Spetznaz are crazily flippy. It seems that they don't like to particularly shoot from a standing position, preferring to be all bendy and stuff...

And for some reason, they have a bunch of random crap in the tests for the guys to shoot to make things explode randomly.

And the high tech fancy computer simulation that they use to determine the winner seems to be... Excel. Yup, its a spreadsheet.

This show is completely ridiculous, dumb, and stupid. Don't ever watch this. Unless you're looking for comedy. Painful, painful comedy.

Lake Placid 2

John Schneider, Sam McMurray (2007) A sheriff, a big-game hunter and a wildlife officer try to kill three giant crocodiles.

Sci Fi Saturday movie from 5/23.

I'm going to start a new feature on my blog for movie reviews. Length of time it takes for a female character to end up nekkid or in her underwear. Since when I hit the stop button, the DVR tells me how much of the movie is remaining, I can have a decent idea of when it happens. For this one, it took 10 minutes for her to get into her underwear. Jumped into the water to fish up a decapitated head, and didn't want to get her Fish and Game Service uniform dirty or wet.

Also, remember how I ranted about the lack of a comma before the "and" in a list? Because this one has the same problem. Damned SciFi Channel and their improper use of the English language. or at least improper in my opinioin.

And again at 29 minutes in. Different character this time. And another one shortly thereafter

Also, in case you were wondering, bad CG is in fact bad...

And they just strapped a gigantic harpoon gun onto a rather small boat. Looks kinda hilarious.

And apparently people from Maine bury their dead in gigantic piles of brush. Or at least they seem to think that gigantic brush piles look like graves...

SPAS 12, not so much an automatic shotgun. Totally a pump.

And apparently only 1 in 3 people from Maine can correctly identify and egg as an egg.

Also, I'm never naming my child "Thad". Its a stupid sounding name, and they're likely to turn into a gigantic jerk anyways... And then get eaten by a gigantic crocodile. Which really serves this guy right... And not only is he getting et, but he's actually getting his junk chewed on by a gigantic crocodile. Talk about unpleasant ways to go...

Are you familiar with the term "Nantucket Sleigh Ride"? Because I'm pretty sure that's what's gonna happen with this whole boat/harpoon gun combo.

Also, I"m pretty sure that whoever made this movie, has no actual idea of how SONAR works...

And apparently when you tear the pontoons off of a seaplane in mid flight, it doesn't really affect the airplane's flight, aside from tearing the undercarriage off, and having the pilot fall out the bottom of the plane. Even though there isn't even a hole in the bottom of the CG airplane...

Also, there are 2 people with accents in this movie. Both of which randomly lose their accents when they're not speaking in a normal tone of voice...

Also, this movie seems to have done away with the tried and true "Crotchety Old Man" character, in favor of the Crotchety Old Woman...

By the way, I approve of any movie where blowing up giant crocodiles is a viable option...

And for those of you keeping track at home, there was no scene at the end where the crocs were revealed to be alive...

Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead

Nicki Aycox, Laura Jordan (2008) Young travelers become the target of a psycho after they unknowingly take his car.

The makers of this movie don't seem to shy about getting their actresses into their underwear. Yup, its that sort of movie.

Oh, by the way, this was the SciFi Sunday movie from 5/17. I don't think that its as formal a thing as "SciFi Saturday", but Sundays at 9, they always seem to show movies that they advertise rather heavily. Sadly, we've been recording random stuff on the DVR on Sundays at that time, so I haven't been able to record many lately. But now that its after the end of the season for most shows, we don't have that problem no more.

And apparently I wasn't missing much...

Venom

Agnes Bruckner, Jonathan Jackson (2005) Resurrected as a killer, a gas station owner terrorizes a group of teenagers in the swamps of Louisiana.

Typical "guy gets resurrected by evil force, and terrorizes everyone" kind of horror film.

And in typical fashion, I don't much care for it or about it.
