RANDOM THOUGHTS:
It's the first day of March, albeit a day later than usual. So after a month that has seen the Super Bowl, the Oscars, and Valentine's Day, it's time to set our focus to March Madness, the return of "Mad Men" (f***in finally!) and St. Patrick's Day. Which trio is better? I'll let you decide that on your own. Because this March day also happen to lie on a Thursday, it also means that it's time for yet another edition of the "Random Thoughts." Let's begin.
The following were on my mind between Monday, February 27th and Thursday, March 1st:
- Keep it up with the dead baptism, Mormons. You're just giving Trey Parker and Matt Stone more inspiration for a "Book of Mormon" sequels if there was ever to be one.
- According to Adam Sandler during his part in the Oscar montages, it was Sean Connery's whose performances as James Bond inspired him to go into showbusiness. According to Socratic logic, that means that Sean Connery is forever to be blamed for the Satan's afterbirth that was "Jack & Jill."
Speaking of Sandler, the man got nominated for a record 11 Razzie nominations, including for both Worst Actor and Worst Actress in the aforementioned "Jack and Jill." For my money, that has to be a more impressive feat than Merry Streep's 17 Oscar nominations.
- With the main character in "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Loud," and now "Touch," is it safe to say that Magical Autistic Kid is Hollywood's new Magical Negro trope?
- "The Godfather: Part II": greatest sequel ever, or greatest sequel ever?
- Three Republicans who ran for President in the past year claimed that God chose them to run. So far, all three (Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann) have since backed out, proving what I always thought: God is a big practical joker.
-CNN is reporting that Mitt Romney has 162 delegates. The New York Times is reporting that he has 149. NBC News is saying that it's 129. I know that all of you media conglomerates have different sources and methods of calculating. But if there's anything that you should at least have some unanimous agreement on, shouldn't it be with just an issue as important as the amount of delegates a candidate has?
-Remember this "Robot Chicken" skit from a few years? Remember how we all laughed at the idea that Hollywood is starting to run out of ideas and that they might actually start to consider making films out of board games? Well, with "Battleship" coming out in theaters this summer and the gritty "Candyland" adaptation (with Adam Sandler, no less!) expected to be released right after, it doesn't seem much funny now. Not at all.
More random thoughts to come on Monday, I promise. Until then, enjoy the end of your workweek!
