O John Where Art Thou?

There are many things in this world i don't understand; gas prices, currency, why animals lick their butts instead of wiping it on the grass, and John C. Reilly. This last one actually baffles me the most. This is a guy who is such a talented actor, and has been in so many great movies, and now in the past couple of years, he has apparently decided to just flush his career and credibility as an actor down the toilet. It all started a couple of years ago when he decided to co-star in the mind-numbing talledega nights with the very un-funny and highly obnoxious will "i'm not funny" ferrell. I don't know what happened on that set but something got set into his brain that being un-funny and utterly retarded was the way to take his career. So then he decided that he was going to make the ever so wonderful 'Walk Hard' movie. Don't even get me started on that crap. Easily one of the worst movies of the year. But what sparked this entire outrage in my brain was the new movie Step-brothers. Why is he flushing his career down the toilet like this?! I have decided it's because he was doing character roles in so many good movies he got tired of not being noticed. Apparently being really good and being noticed by people who appreciate fine acting isn't as good as being noticed, and regarded as obnoxious by everybody. I guess we could just ask will ferrell. Not only does this "movie" not look funny and annoying, but it just goes to show once again that will ferrell can get on the screen, act like he is 12, and everybody will continue to think its funny. Not only are all of his movies the same and just packaged differently, but HE IS NOT FUNNY. All his jokes are the same, all his movies are the same, and now he is taking down a great actor with him. One day, i hope we get our beloved talented supporting actor back.

Another weird picture of Justin, for no reason whatsoever.

A little late, but, hey.

I want to introduce you all to my new niece:

Why being the supervisor of the continental breakfast at the Comfort Inn isn't as exciting as I make it out to sound...

Let's just say working in a suffocatingly hot enviornment, making disgusting greasy food for people to hoover-eat, and then cleaning up after those ungrateful people, is bad enough. Now I get to do all that, PLUS, I get to guess how busy we're going to be and how much food we will need (I'm not clairvoyant...wish I was), put in orders to companies that don't want to send it because the owners haven't paid them in months, find a place for all that food in our insanely inadequate and tiny kitchen, make the schedule when I don't know how many people I'm going to need there because, again, not psychic, hire train and fire people who aren't as dedicated and flexible as me...or maybe they're just smart, deal with broken juice machines and people who feel really really entitled to juice for breakfast and get really really mad when they don't get it, and lastly, I get to deal with the freaking laundry lady that cooks her "Indian Tea" on my stove every morning and likes to tell my workers she's the owner of the hotel.

I have another announcement to make

I was just made the supervisor of the continental breakfast at the Comfort Inn! Go me.

The Movie Collection Embarkment of 2008: I, Robot

I, Robot

made in 2004

Rated PG-13

Jesse: I give I, Robot *** because although I enjoy it very much, it doesn't have a lot of replay value. Not one of those movies I can watch every day and still be excited and surprised by the action sequences. Worst move ever: the character "Farber" played by Shia LaBeouf, not just because I hate Shia LaBeouf, either. What is the point of this character and why did they pick this geeky disney channel kid to play the swearing, lewd, "gangsta" wanna-be character?? If anyone figures it out, let me know. Best move: Will Smith as Del Spooner (so did not know that was his name in the movie, thanks imdb.com!) He is perfect as the buff, sarcastic, one-man-against-the-world, guy. Hence his body of work: Independance Day, Men in Black, I am Legend, Hancock, etc. What he does, he does well.

Justin: For me, Will Smith is the only reason to watch this movie, and even his acting seems a bit egomaniacal. The movie is fun even if completely unrealistic. I think the studio execs just thought up an idea of how they can exploit the body of Will Smith and make tons of money off it. He poses and struts through the entire thing. The shot in the shower, c'mon, are you kidding me with that? I swear the entire movie is made up of shots of Mr. Smith's body, and slow motion. Way too many slow motion shots, and way too much shia labeouf. I refuse to capitalize his name. It's ok, but truthfully, I liked it better the first time. Will Smith gets this movie it's third star. *** (reluctantly)

FYI

We have now added our "Bucket Lists" link in the sidebar, and a link to our movie calendar in "The Movie Collection Embarkment of 2008" link in the sidebar so if anyone wants to, they can watch the movies we're watching! Oh, and we decided to watch 2 movies a week so now it will only take us 3 years to watch them all. (That is, unless we buy more movies between now and then, which is very possible and most likely, going to happen.)
