    Good, man. I got out of work for the first time in a week where I didn't feel the urge to kill or die. How is life treating you?

    Man I just say it there, so very very good, the whole theatre was laughing guiltily the more of a nut case DDL became.
    Daniel Day-Lewis: One night, I'm gonna come inside your house, wherever you're sleeping, and I'm gonna cut your throat.

    Was one of the best parts/lines of the movie.

    It was nice to see No Country win, even if the whole thing is a sham.

    also Transformers should have won best special effects

    no ifs ands or buts about it

    Today I called my manager a fucking asshole and still got to quit (not fired). Im going to do a bunch of fun random stuff for spring break, then go to the grand canyon, then a week after that to idylwild. I will take many pictures and post them on the internet.

    After all that I have to find a new job. Probably either the local coffee shop (not a starbucks) where a cute girl I like (and played rock band with last night) works, best buy, or the ups store.

    the effects in Transformers were pretty good if you looked past the Michael Bay-ness that kept obscuring the picture

    but I'm not sure if a movie with that much product placement is allowed to win an Oscar

    A Michael Bay ejaculation would cost at least $12 million to produce.

    'Cause his load would have to soar through the window, careen down to street level, slam into the side of a bus and send it reeling into traffic. A motorcycle would smash directly into the gas tank on the bus, causing it to explode, hurling the motorcycle through the air and into a nearby bridge. A semi would see the motorcycle land and slam on the brakes, locking them up and setting the semi into a spin, wiping out countless cars on the road before finally toppling off the bridge and into the river below.

    And then some underrated character actor who needed a paycheck would show up and say something way beneath his talents like "Now that's what I call a money shot."

    I just watched American Gangster.

    Something didn't sit right with me. The acting wasn't as good as most people have been raving about it. The story seemed kinda vague at some points and generic at others. Some good scenes but nothing that really stood out in my mind.

    I gave it a 7/10

    I don't think anyone has been raving about anything in American Gangster, I mean, outside of OMG RUSSEL AND DENZEL TOGETHER AGAIN, which seems to only exist in the world of the media hype machine.

    By the way The Media Hype Machine would make an awesome alt-rock band.

    I know. I saw American Gangster after the ceremony, and I kept waiting for all the awesomely acted Ruby Dee scenes. And got one.
