Nintendo Revolution Poster Leak

There is a poster circulating that supposedly announces Nintendo's Revolution to be released in March 2006. The deal is that the poster has not been confirmed by Nintendo, still being tight-lipped about it. Most Indutry experts believe it will be released in the fourth quarter of 2006, not as early as March. This early launch would be a shock to Sony, Microsoft and the entire Industry. If this does turn out to be the real deal, I for one will need a new pair of pants. We'll just have to wait and see.

Look to the right

Look to your right, you'll notice I added a few columns. I'll update these everyday throughout the day just so you the reader will know what I'm doing instead of posting. Fascinating journalism eh?

It's not that hard

Emile's "don't yawn game" has gotten a lot of attention and I don't get it. Watching it doesn't make me want to yawn at all. It's the yawning noise that does it, not seeing it. Maybe I'm a yokel and need a good slap, but this game has no effect on me. Try it out for yourself and see if you can handle it.

Obligatory Cat Photo



After searching around and reading other blogs, I've decided that I can only become official when I post a cat picture. Too bad this isn't my cat. My cat would be wearing a raincoat and galoshes saying "Rain in there!" I know.....I know, it's a stupid joke. Anyway, I found this picture on Baghdadgirl's blog. Go check it out with the link below. The cute and fuzzy meter goes to 11 on her site.

$1.50

Earlier tonight I finally saw Kingdom of Heaven at the dollar theatre. Was it worth the $1.50? Hardly. Just Barely. Amidst the blood and gore lies a movie with no point. I don't want to spoil any part of the movie but the end leaves much to be desired. But it was way before that I was disengaged with the dialogue and storytelling. Right from the start I had a hard time following who was who and where the story was going. In the end, I spent the whole movie wondering what was going on. That's not to say that the movie wasn't made well. It was. Ridley Scott shows he's still got it. The fight scenes were a visual bloodbath and I loved them, even if I didn't understand them. All in all, I'm glad it only cost $1.50 or I would have been pretty hopping mad.

P.S. Why the hell do movies cost $1.50 at a dollar theatre anyway?

Is it Friday or did I die?

My calendar says it's Friday so I thought I'd talk about the sorry selection of movies that come out today. Well, we've got Bewitched, Herbie Fully Loaded and Land of the Dead. George Romero is the king of zombies, so of the three that movie looks most promising. But none of them look good enough for me to open my wallet. Thanks but no thanks hollyweird, I'll stay home tonight.

This just in: Bewitched and Herbie Fully Loaded both got a C rating in the Dallas Morning News, while Land of the Dead got a B+. Visit dallasnews.com to read more.

Testing?

Post number one. All systems go. Starting right........now you'll find a window into my brain right here. I'll post links I like, rants about things I like and don't like, the occasional picture, and of course the obligatory cat photo. Hopefully I can impart some knowledge as well. Wanna know more about me click my profile, otherwise see you beaches on the flipside.

Shout Out
