Colbert 2008?

I guess we could say we’ve been hoping/expecting this from Stephen Colbert.

 I’ve heard around the block that him running would be a wake-up call to the other candidates and people in office, which I agree with. I’m so used to seeing him joke about everything…what would his state of the unions be like? Interesting proposition right?

Movie picks for 2008

I’m pretty sure I posted before about how I love movies. Well this coming year’s selection looks ripe and I’m excited to share some of my potential favorites with you:

Be Kind Rewind - Cast: Jack Black, Mos Def, Danny Glover, Melonie Diaz, Mia Farrow
The Buzz: Michel Gondry’s twisted comic tale of the magic of filmmaking. Jack Black plays Jerry, a junkyard worker who inadvertently causes his brain to become magnetized, leading to the unintentional destruction of all the movies in his friend’s (Mos Def) video rental store. In order to keep the store’s one loyal customer, an elderly lady with a tenuous grasp on reality, the pair re-create a long line of films, putting themselves and their townspeople into it.

21 – Cast: Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, Laurence Fishburne, Aaron Yoo
The Buzz: Based on the book Bringing Down the House, 21 is the fact-based story about six MIT students who were trained to become experts in card counting and subsequently took Vegas casinos for millions in winnings.

Wanted – Cast: Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Terence Stamp, Common
The Buzz: Based on the Mark Millar graphic novel about a young man (McAvoy) finds out his long lost father is an assassin. And when his father is murdered, the son is recruited into his father’s old organization and trained by a man named Sloan (Freeman) to follow in his dad’s footsteps.

Speed Racer – Cast: Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, Susan Sarandon, Matthew Fox, John Goodman, Scott Porter
The Buzz: Based on the classic 1960’s Japanese animated series, The Wachowski Brothers (Matrix) direct the story of a young race car driver as he attempts to obtain glory, with the help of his family and the Mach 5, the advanced car created by his father.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall – Cast: Apatow regulars Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd and Bill Hader and Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis, Jason Segel, Kristen Wiig
The Buzz: Another Judd Apatow comedy which is sure to please. Jason Segel plays Peter Bretter, who takes a Hawaii vacation in order to deal with recent break-up with his TV star girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). Little does he know Sarah’s traveling to the same resort as her ex … and she’s bringing along her new boyfriend.

James Bond 22 – Cast: Daniel Craig, Goran Visnjic, Judi Dench, Giancarlo Giannini, Jesper Christensen
The Buzz: It’s Bond, what more can you say? Daniel Craig returns as agent 007. Not much is known about this film as of yet. All we do know is that this movie is going to be the first ever direct sequel to another official James Bond film (Casino Royale)

Those are just some that I am personally interested in seeing. Go HERE for the full 55 that are discussed!

Who works in an office? Ever want to bitch about it?

This is hilarious…totally anonymous and truly relate-able.

One is:  ”I date a chick so I can stay over on nights when I need to be in the office earlier. From her place, I save 30 minutes” 

Deadliest Catch or Catchiest concept?

I love the Discovery Channel and this show is actually kind of cool because it chronicles a job that Herman Melville would have killed for and a job that interests the common folk (us). I always thought those guys were super cold, wet and uncomfortable because it was either that or no money but apparently it’s not so shabby. Being here in the Pacific Northwest, a lot of those guys are from around here so the Seattle PI did a story about a “real” crab fisherman and apparently what the show portrays is how it USED to be. Says one fisherman:

When the weather is bad, unlike in the not-too-distant past, “we will back off. When we offload, we will stay in town overnight. It’s quite a bit different,” he said. “We have the option of not taking too many risks.”

Kind of a bummer because I was thinking about becoming a crab fisherman but now that I know this, pshhh…no thanks! But I still love the Discovery Channel.

The Daily Belmore

I’m giving Paul a cameo here on notten this life because he did so for me! Go here and have fun.

For the haps on sports, entertainment and music, I would check his site out…he gives it to you straight and he has great links for almost everything he talks about. Hi Paul!

 

The beginnings

So here I go. My first play at the digital world of sharing! I figure that sharing has the benefit of adding something new to people. Whatever people want to take away from this, I just hope it will be an extension of the awesome “can you believe this shit??” emails I get from my friends all the time…because boy do they broaden my horizons.
