Championship leader Button and reigning World Champion Lewis Hamilton both out in the first lap due to a big crash. Also, F1's 2 newest drivers Algersuari and Grosjean also out.
Blog-favorite Vettel in 3rd.
Blog-other-favorite Kimi Raikonnen with the win. The power-boost provided by his KERS helped him quite a bit throughout the race, and even got him the lead, allowing him to pass Fisichella right off the bat.
Force India driver Giancarlo Fisichella in second for Force India's first points ever. Great race by him in a very improved car.
Another unsafe pit lane release for Mark Webber, giving him a drive-through penalty, and putting him out of the points.
Rubens Barichello in 7th. Was looking a bit rough for the last few laps, as his engine was smoking pretty heavily, but he still managed to finish, after backing off a bit. Seems it was just an oil leak, but still was looking pretty hairy. And as he pulled into the pits after the race, his car was on fire.
Vettel back to 3rd place in the Championship standings, 19 points behind Button. Barichello picked up 2 points, and is now 3 points ahead of Vettel. Webber is now 2.5 behind.
And it seems that Vettel seems to enjoy his juice as much as Kimi. And he makes a good interviewee. He's so happy and cheerful. Also "interviewee" isn't a typo. FYI.
And now I need to go pack for my business trip tomorrow.

The Previews
No extensive discussion of the movie right now. I really liked it, but need some time to digest it before I can review it. Until then, go see District 9. And stay through the credits. No extra scene or anything, but some really good music.
Anyways, on to the previews.
That movie with Megan Fox: Jennifer's Body or somesuch. Reminds me how much I don't care for Megan Fox. Sure, she's supposedly stupidly hot, but you put just about anyone in a miniskirt and a tiny shirt, and they'll be pretty hot. Except for me. That'd just be weird.
Surrogates: Some sort of SciFi thing where everyone uses robotic surrogates to live their life for them. Bruce Willis has one. His surrogate has awesome hair. And by awesome, I mean completely ridiculous. Then Bruce Willis wakes up, and goes after stuff with his actual body. Which has the bald and scruffy goatteed look that we've come to expect from Mr. Willis.
Law Abiding Citizen: You remember that movie with Jodie Foster or Helen Hunt (I can never tell the 2 apart)? The one where she gets robbed or mugged, and then goes on some sort of Vendetta. Well, instead of Jodie or Helen, we have Gerard Butler. Apparently someone killed his family, and the killer got off on some sort of deal. So, being the King Leonaidas type, he blows a lot of stuff up, and kills a bunch of people in seemingly increasingly ridiculous manners.
There was one other one that seemed like it could be interesting, but I can't remember what it was.
Full review of the movie at some later point. When its not midnight.

District 9 soon
Off to go see District 9. Assuming they're not sold out.
That means I have to put on pants... Dang.

Chuck Norris
Some random promo for Delta Force and Delta Force 2:
Guy1: What if Chuck Norris from Delta Force had to fight Chuck Norris from Delta Force 2. Who would lose?
Gut2: America.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer (2005) Hoping to land a movie role, a thief learns investigative techniques from a detective. Based in part on a novel by Brett Halliday.
As it stands, I'm not really sure why I decided to record this movie. Because the description sounds very lame. Probably because its got Iron Man in it, as well as Val Kilmer's role for Heat...
Val Kilmer: "A talking monkey. Came here from the future. Only says 'ficus'."
Val Kilmer: "Look up 'idiot' in the dictionary. You know what you'll find?
Iron Man: "A picture of me?"
Val Kilmer: "No, the definition of the word 'idiot', which you are."
This movie has Iron Man as the narrator. A very random, stream-of-conciousness narrator. So random, that I have little to no idea what's gong on. But its so random and has a collection of ridiculous lines that I'm gonna keep watching. And chronicling them for you.
Also, bonus Corbin Bernsen (also known as Shawn's dad from Psych)
"Don't quit your gay job." Should probably mention that Val Kilmer's character is named "Gay" Perry.
Iron Man pistol whips a guy who pistol whipped him earlier: "Doesn't that suck? I just hit you for no reason. I don't know why."
Val Kilmer: "You think that's funny, huh? I'm going to break your nose now." "I want you to picture a bullet inside your head. Can you do that for me?"
Pistol Whipped Guy: "That's ambiguous"
Val Kilmer: "Ambiguous? No, I don't think so."
Iron Man: "No, I think he means when you say 'picture it inside your head', OK, is that a bullet will be inside your head, or in your head, like form an image."
Apparently if you have 1 bullet in a revolver, Iron Man thinks its an 8% chance of shooting someone. Because he just did the whole "put one bullet in a revolver, spin it a bunch, and then intimidate someone by shooting it." Unfortunately, he shot the guy with the first shot. And everyone is hilariously incredulous that it happened.
Sadly, there are a bunch of hilarious and ridiculous lines in this movie, but I don't feel like pausing the movie every time one comes about so I can type it out.
Val Kilmer:"I shot him with a revolver that I keep near my balls." Apparently homophobes don't check your wang-ular region when they frisk you. FYI.
Also, Michelle Monaghan is pretty cute. FYI.
And they did a big reveal of what actually happened during the movie, but I didn't actually pay attention.
Val Kilmer on the topic of whether his father loved him when he was a kid: "Well, he used to beat me in Morse Code, so its possible..."
And he, the narrator, just mocked the fact that the last Lord of the Ring movie ended 17 times.
And we're about to record "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus"!
"And for all of you in the mid-West, I'm sorry we said **** so much."

2009 Belgian Grand Prix Qualifying
Uh. What? Giancarlo Fisichella from Force India on pole? The team that has yet to score a point (by finishing in the top 8) in its 2 and a half years of existence as a team. Thus far, they've been running at the back.
Blog favorite Sebastian Vettel qualified in 8th. Luckily Championship leader Jenson Button qualified 14th. The other Championship contenders are more of a threat to Vettel's race. Teammate Mark Webber in 9th, and Button's teammate and Valencia winner, Rubens Barichello, in 4th.
Other blog-favorites: Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen in 6th, but he should be pretty dangerous at the start with the KERS power boost. Rookie Swiss-man Sebastien Buemi in 16th.
And I really like the commentators for SPEED. They're really enthusiastic, and seem to have good idea of what they're talking about...

Hawaii
The awesomeness of this picture pretty much sums up my latest trip to Hawaii:
By the way, you should totally click on the picture to make it much bigger. And then you can get a better idea of the intense awesomeness that's going on in this picture.
