Todays movie is from the wonderful Sandra Bullock. I always enjoy her romance comedies. She has made me cry in the Lake House, and Two weeks Notice so many times. She tried to make me tear in this flick but it didnt work. It was a great film but not her best, Ryan wasnt at his top either but still a great movie to watch.
I went at 1pm to catch a matinee with all the old folks and have some peace alone with my bucket of popcorn. I had the row all to myself when I arrived and all of a sudden it seemed like a High School Field trip full of 15 yo girls stormed in all around me. I of course not being around a female in a while didn’t feel the same next too young smooth aroma of the opposite sex. I couldn’t eat my popcorn comfortable but well I managed since it was my only lunch.
This what it has turned into. These events use to be filled with close to 1,000 spectators, now less than 100 of the regulars that don’t miss an event. How times have changed. Its getting very difficult to keep up with work when nobody has money to spend, and they dont have money to spend cause they have no jobs. Its an ugly loop that everyone is effected at the end. My sales have gone down easily 40% compared to a year ago. It hasn’t really picked up any but at least its not getting worst. Lets hope things don’t get worst and just pick up when they can.
I finally decided to upgrade my phone and went with the new PalmPre. I have been using the Ipod touch for my mobile browsin and I knew that using the virtual keyboard well suck to txt and email. The PalmPre has a slide out keyboard small but useful. This WebOS that the phone uses is amazin, multiple apps is something that every phone is missing. As you can see from my screenshot that I have several apps open smoothly without drainin much batt. I do miss my nextel walkie talkie but since I only use it for work I’m gonna get the boost and just pre pay it. Amazing phone that only has so much comin its way with new apps and upcomin updates.
E3 starts today hopefully announcing some great stuff. Lots of new games, new PSP, would be awesome if we get a new xbox but it would be fine with just some baddass games. I managed to catch the live show show from Gamespot of the Microsoft Conference. Here is my list of the things that turn on my Xbox.
-Modern Warfare 2- I am not missing this. The showed the snow level that ended up on a snow mobile gun fight. 6 more months to enjoy this sweet battles.
-Left 4 Dead 2- Set in New Orleans and showed that there’s gonna be chainsaw and axes. SWEET!!
-Metal Gear Solid- Coming to the xbox. I was really hoping they were gonna say Metal Gear 4 first then the new game.
-Alan Wake- Looks like its gonna be a great horror game with some decent gameplay.
-Splinter Cell Conviction- The gameplay they should was just too awesome. I didn’t enjoy the other games much because of too much hide and wait stealth boredom but this was fast pace action.
-Last.FM- Oh yea I am really gonna use this option.
-Netflix- Now you can queue your movies from you xbox.
-Assassins Creed 2- oh yea I enjoyed the first one and cant wait to play this.
Tomorrow is gonna be the Nintendo conferance, lets see what kind of kiddy games they come up with. Sony on Wednesday, poor bastards need to come up with something the PS3 sucks
Orlando Magic are the eastern conferance champs. They beat Cleaveland Cavs 4-2 on the playoffs. Lebron James was an amazing player but he cant play the game alone. He is one baddass, at only 23 damn. They were mentioning that he is out of contract next season and he might be going another team. I dont blame him after Game 6 his team helped him none. I mean they would pass him the ball every time, when he couldnt he pass back they would miss. Thats a shame. But very happy for Orlando its there 2nd time going in the 20 years history they have. I’m gonna try to catch at least one game of the finals if the tickets not to expensive. Only games 3-5 are gonna be in Orlando. I would pay up to hmmm $130 for at least a second level seat. I actually Second level more, I can see the entire court from there.
Commercials thought the game was the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Great gameplay footage, I loved the snowmobile gun fights. They must of showed it about 5 times each game. Other great commercials where the lebron and Kobe puppets. Funny funny stuff. You can see them all here.

My Place has been fully contructed for about 3 months now. I have been furnishin my place since. I have the kitchen and dinning room done. I have my desk and Tv entertainment center ready just need to set up the surround sound. Just need to purchase my bed and Futon bed and my mini bar and some book shelves. I set up a 3D rendering of what pretty much my layout of the living room and my office/bedroom setup. Very cool web based software Project Dragonfly lets you make a layout of your house with furniture and view it in a 3D. This thing really helped me out wondering if I should put a mini bar upstairs and it sure looks good according to this. I think in about a month I should have this place done and me moved in.
This is a Fatal Attraction remake but not even close. Beyonce needs to stay off the big screen cause she was just terrible. Shes cute and We all love that ass but I rather watch her ass on music videos. Now as far as Ali Larter…shes gonna haunt my dreams tonight. Her and Idris made this movie, beyonce just ruined this movie. That and the fact that we really wrent conviced at the story line. In Fatal Attraction and Swimfan (also a remake) the protagonist actually had an affair with the muse thus causing her to go pysco when he would leave them. Idris didnt even want to get a little bit of action. So Ali Larter had really no reason what so ever to go crazy. So basically I wasnt convinced the whole time, probablly why this movie really didnt do to well. If the directer would of at least let them pull a quick one in that bathroom, I would of enjoyed the film better. And gotten rid of Beyonce.

Terminator 4 finally after the terrible Terminator 3, we couldnt wait to see what we only saw clips on in all the movies. We saw the after math of Judgement Day. The post apocalyptic scenes in the other movies always left us wanting to see more of these battles against the machines. We still dont get to see that in this movie, I wanted to see all out war with the machines. We dont get to see none of this. Christian Bale did a horrible job at being John Connor, he was like stuck in Batman mode with that dumb ass voice. He was not acting like a leader, he didnt seem motivational to me especialy talking like that.
We do see some great chase scenes and the first helicopter scene looked amazing. I always enjoy the long scene with no cuts, but I dont think it was whole scene but sure looked great. I do have some thing I didnt enjoy but cant rant about it without spoilers so click more to find out.
I was a big player of Call of Duty on the PC. The story lines and the multiplayer was amazing. It had an expansion pack called United Offensive that had Tanks which was great. I love the machine gun sounds and the ripping of the bullets by your face. When Call of Duty 2 came out it was the launch of the Xbox360 and it was the exclusive game for launch of the great system. I didnt want to pay the $400 at cause honestly thats to much for a game system. I dont know why since I have paid $350 for just a video card to play one game. About 4 months since launch I got a call of some guy selling a system for only $200. And well I quite the pc games and just went the console route.
Call of Duty World at War has a great story line just like Modern Warfare. What I didnt like but of course it was realistic was that I couldnt see the Japs too well in the jungle. Of course it shows how it was difficult of warfare in Iwo Jima. Just like Modern Warfare it had a great ending, and also had a pretty good sniper level. It went back to the WWII scene like the past Call of Duties. Of course a lot of my friends prefered a sequel to modern warfare. I picked up the Collectors edition which included a canteen with COD engraved. Can’t wait to move out and set up my new office in a very geeky way.
PS my house is very done.
Main reason for me watchin this movie is mister Tom Hanks. and of course a novel by Dan Brown. The novel for Davinci Code was certainly better than the movie. I didnt read this novel but it was really recomened if I enjoyed the Davinci. This movie does the whole clues and puzzels as Davinci but of course without the rediculas plot. One thing you do notice is the use of too much green screen. They coudlnt film inside certain buildings so they had to green screen it and it was really obvisious in some scenes. The novel was written before the Davinci Code but in the film they refer it to being after the events of DaVinci Code. Great movie, I took my mother to see since I knew it was gonna have alot of religious refrences. Other note is America like the only country that has like no history, the only real historical monuments are in DC and still those are still built pretty recent. Europe has buildings that are even B.C.

Last Saturday the 16th was a night that should happen more often in Ocala. We had live boxing! 3 amature fights that only lasted a short 4 rounds and 2 pro fights but only 8 rounds. Weekends in Ocala are nothing but repetitive on what activities are around. Everyone claims out town is boring but as I proved everyone is what truely boring. I invited easly 8 fellas and 2 ladies and all turned down. One girl actually said “You think we can get me home early theres a party I want to go to”. Wow not even a “Theres a party we can go to after” man times had changed. I swear back in my time I had two dates in one night, now my dates want me to bring them home early. I thought it was gonna be easier to date when I was older you know, having money my own place and well looking sex as hell.
Back to the Boxing, they really have to do this more often. They almost sold out so there is no reason for them to at least do this every 3 months 6 at the most.
Well 2008 was a great year from movies. Middle of the year now but I never came around to post my list of 2008. I must of gone 40 times to the theater and DL over 40 more movies. If I’m not sure about a movie I DL and watch at home. This is my list of My Top moives of 2008, not in any order
Ohh yea this movie was too damn funny. Grown ass men living at home acting like they are young. Balls on the drums was priceless. Gus always will always threatin you with putting their balls on it. I didn’t have a brother but i had a cousin about my age and we were basicly bros. He even spent a summer with me when I went off to college.
Vince Vaugh, I just don’t miss any movie of his. Their relationship at the begining was just a great showing on how couples are best friends. Reminds me of mine. *sigh*
I actually cried during this movie, and every time I watch it still. Ellen Page is great in this movie but she is not a high school girl. I don’t remember any high school chick in my years be so cool. If I knew a girl like that, that had so much in common with me I would be glad to impregnate her.

Monster Trucks in Ocala comes around about 3 times a year. I quickly told my nephew about it and he said “lets go!” We arrived early to take pictures upclose to the trucks and the drivers. I figured the Livestock Pavilion was a some what small areana mainly used for rodeo events. And of course the trucks were so damn loud, many kids cryin or with ear plugs. Team FMX were there doing some great jumps only inches away from the ceiling. Dani got really excited when the RC cars came out. Those little things were damn fast. They even lauched some on the dirt bike ramps.

I finally got myself into the Mac OS and damn I’m very very regretful for not changing soon. I mean damn its so nice, it really puts Vista to shame. It runs so smooth, fast, it just gets what I want done. Spaces is very helpful and useful for a laptop. I’m so use to using dual monitors and this (still prefer dual monitos) really treats me like I am running dual screens.
The dock I have always seen and I thought it was silly, to me it was like your Desktop Icons always showing. But honestly its kind of awesome, my adium jumps when I recieve a msg I click my Firefox to switch to the other screen, it is so clever that it actually is nicer than the old windows taskbar.
It runs very nice but I have been a windows user since Win 95 and every update there once a small learning curve cause well the updates werent to big that you would catch on in a week. Messing with OSX is not somthing for a pc newbie, I had to actually look up a few things and ask some geek friends, on easy things like how do I install programs. Thats something that in windows well you just click next, accept, ok, I agree. A little different and once you figure it out its actually brillant and easy. I’m not a laptop person but damn this Macbook is doing the work my desktop pc with dual screens did. I would love to get my hands on a IMAC desktop but damn they are pricey. Lets hope those horses can sell.
