RANDOM THOUGHTS:
The following were on my mind between Monday, June 18th and Monday, June 25th:
-I finally got the chance to see "Prometheus" this past week. On the one hand, it was one of the best visual experiences I ever had while watching a film in theaters as I very much enjoyed all of the special effects and Icelandic landscape porn. On the other hand, it was one of the most frustrating stories that I've ever seen, filled with plenty of holes and characters doing stuff for no discernible reason.
-Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom": As if Frank Kapra and Captain Hindsight had collaborated on a TV show.
-A three time All-Star received to fill a position in which predecessors this season amount a league worst .168 batting average? In that case, you bet your ass that I approve of the White Sox trading for Kevin Youkilis!
-If we can still watching old footage of O.J. Simpson playing football despite the murder trials, then we can also enjoy watching old Chris Benoit WWE matches without worrying about what led to his horrifying and tragic death.
- You ever watch an infomercial that you aren't sure is a real infomercial or just a parody of it in order to sell another product? That's how I felt watching this ad for the Shticky (it had a pretty good sense of humor, I will admit, which is why I wasn't sure of its seriousness): (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAQjF5RPgbg)
- I wonder if more people my age group recognize Charles Foster Kane as a character in the movie "Citizen Kane" by Orson Welles, or as the guy who people use as a clapping .gif image.
More to come next Monday. See you then!
