My Oscar® opinion and some other things

I am glad Avatar didn't fare well -- although should it have won best cinematography? Does it even count?! I think not. I agree with Hurt Locker winning everything it won although I wanted Inglorious Basterds to win best picture and original screenplay. I was kinda shocked to see The Hurt Locker take that one. Also learned that adapted screenplay also counts if the original work was a short film (District-9) which I thought was kinda interesting!

I'm glad Sanrda Bullock won because she was the best thing about that crappy movie but I was kinda routing for Gabourey Sidibe. That would have been pretty awesome for her as an unknown young lady.

So that wraps up my Oscar® things. I also started a twitter page on which I will write twitter thought that are only 140 characters long. It's been done before and will be done again but I couldn't find anyone who did it well or at all after setting up the page. (I'm looking at you @140characters and @only140...)

Anyway, that's what's up. I also went to Disneyland this weekend and it was pretty much the best visit I have had in years. We got our own Tower of Terror elevator, saw new stuff at the Blue Sky Cellar, saw Captain EO which was just about the coolest thing I have ever seen, ate a good meal at the Plaza Inn, got our own Pirates of the Caribbean boat, and had an AMAZING time on The Haunted Mansion. SO good!

You're jealous and this wasn't written well.

PS: I ordered business cards. This is what it looks like.

Dazzle me

from MTV news:

"Michael Jackson's moonwalk is arguably the most iconic dance move to ever hit a concert stage, but it looks like the King of Pop is hoping to one-up his signature slide — with the help of "High School Musical" director Kenny Ortega.

In preparation for his upcoming 50-show stint at London's O2 Arena, Jackson has been holed up at a warehouse near the Burbank, California, airport rehearsing with Ortega and a team of renowned choreographers, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The highly anticipated tour has been threatened by a massive lawsuit, but that hasn't stopped the pop star from planning an over-the-top, true-to-MJ-form production.

"It's going to be the biggest, most technologically advanced arena show — and the most expensive — ever mounted," Randy Phillips, chief executive of concert promotion company AEG Live, told the newspaper.

As for the top-secret sequel to the moonwalk, Phillips said he was "sworn to secrecy" but that Jackson is working closely with Ortega to deliver a memorable move everyone will be talking about.

Ortega has worked with MJ in the past, collaborating with him on his Dangerous and HIStory tours. Ortega was quick to sign on to direct the shows, even working around his commitments to the "Footloose" remake.

"My answer without a beat was nothing could keep me away," Ortega said in a statement, hailing MJ as "the greatest entertainer of our generation."

The 50-show run kicks off at the O2 Arena on July 8."

oh please. Is it just me, or is Michael Jackson fun to reminice upon... he isnt a relevant pop star anymore. the best pop star of all time? YES - hands down. does anyone care about a secret new dancemove from him thats going to one-up the moonwalk? no, sir. no thank you.

shut up Kanye

Nuff Said. Ive hated you since day 1.

Jonze vs. Lee

Today at work ,i had to do some research on this Spike Lee movie about the L.A. Riots and i thought - you know what would be an interesting conversation? A conversation between Spike Jonze and Spike Lee... Nothing in common except the fact that they are the two reigning "Spikes" in Hollywood. This made me think more -- when did I realize who was who? Jonze is so hip. But i never thought that Spike Lee and Spike Jonze were two different people. I just didn't care enough i guess until today.

So i searched the internet. SOMEONE had to put these two guys together, right? Myspace Black Carpet? NBC's Good Morning America? Conan? nothing. i couldn't even find anyone else who thought this would be a good idea... or an idea at all. am i alone on this? is this pure coffee / water cooler talk?

So in my search, i cam across THIS urban dictionary article on Spike Jonze. I go to this site all the time to look up funny pop culture words and see what people's takes are on the subject. It couldn't be more hilarious. It was not only super clever, but the NICEST urban dictionary listing i had ever seen.

i THEN had to look up Spike Lee and what entry was right below Jonze on urbandictionary.com? THIS one. Spike Lee... and it couldn't have shed the light on the subject of why these men had never been put together.

With how contrasted these two entries are, would this be an interesting conversation anymore? shit -- probably! I am surprised Lee hasn't tried suing Jonze for not only having a more bad ass and ethnic-sounding name than Lee, but for also using the "Spike" moniker. check out THIS article to read about how he tried suing Viacom over Spike TV (and apparently won?) and you'll see what i mean.

all in all -- can this conversation ever happen? can we talk to Jimmy Fallon about having a good episode where these two meet? (although i AM on board with Jimmy regarding the Saved by the Bell reunion). someone help with this. I think it is important to get these two in a room and have a chat - no?

what HE said

ALMOST THERE

He's ALMOST back. Video is very old-school Slim Shady but i feel the song falls apart somewhere in the middle... its a good start. im FOR it...

i couldnt have said it better!

Seriously, ive been saying it since day one. Click HERE for the full story. My favorite excerpt:

"I don’t know how she does it, but Katy manages to take really big tits and a nice body and still be boring, even annoying. I’ve never seen anything like it. She’s an inspiration to boring chicks everywhere, the Michael Jordan of mediocrity. Those tits might as well be on a empty can of Coke. "

Tyler Durden FTW.

FAIL

Celeb nooz

okay... so i hate celebs and news as much as anyone, but absolutepunk.net posted this and so i saw it.... and YES she's an idiot... but this pic is taken out of context, no? i mean, is there not an Asian IN this picture? my buddy Tac would agree... we probably have taken pics like this WITH him in them as a joke to him... that's the difference between a promotional pic and personal pics. since this pic is out in the public now, it is offensive. there are THOUSANDS of "offensive" pictures i have taken in my time... but I am not publicizing them as promotional pics for my career. I am also not Miley Cyrus, but she's 16 or whatever... most of my racy pics are from when I was 16. so what? Miley Cyrus is a stupid 16 year old, Michael Phelps smokes pot, and Christian Bale is a lunatic... is this at all surprising people? i mean... REALLY?!

anyway, this video/remix blew my mind.



my next blog is going to be about the Nielsen system and wtf THAT shits all about. who the fuck is watching NCIS... really?!
