Calling Dick Tracy, Come In Dick Tracy!

Tell me you've seen Dick Tracy. Please? Dick Tracy is an all-time top 10 movie for me. I remember when I first layed eyes on that movie in theaters. It was magical for me. I dug into the whole world. It was mobsters and crooked cops, and detectives, and one man in a bright yellow trench coat and fedora. Warren Beatty.

I was so into this that In either 2nd or third grade, whatever was in 1990, I was Dick Tracy for Halloween. I distinctly remember many of the kids wore their costumes to school that day and we had a costume parade in the cafeteria after lunch.

I also recall this was a couple months after my brother was born.

Man, I am SO awesome. I am unsure that it was 2nd grade. I apologize, that captioning is way old.

Anyways, yeah. Please go forth and watch this movie. The cast is incredible. Beatty, Madonna, Al Pacino, Mandy Patinkin, Dick Van Dyke, Dustin Hoffman, etc. Just...Go rent it or something. The scenery is ridiculous. The xityscapes were all painted. It was kind of perfect.

Anyways, great movie, and it really holds up. SEE IT. I'm not going to score it because this was a piss poor review.

But go see it anyways.

Ode to a Super Bowl I'm not watching.

Well this weekend has been........Interesting. It all started Friday. Honestly Friday was so damned busy and over the top that by the end of the day I just needed to stop. So on the way home I stopped off to pick up a pizza from Mountain Mike's and was going to snag some brew.

Unfortunately when I got back out to my car it looks overheated. The temp. gauge was maxed out. What the fuck, man. This isn't what I need. So i give my brother Dave a ring. He says it might be the radiator and for the love of God don't drive it. So I get pissy, call a tow truck, and order a pitcher of beer. I down the pitcher post-haste and develop a nice, thick buzz. It was pretty okay. Then I sat in my car and awaited the tow truck driver.

If I had to describe the driver, Kenny, it would be "sleezy with a ponytail." Oh, Kenny. You slay me.

Yesterday I hung around the house, hoping my car would be fine. Then today my mother and brother drove out so my brother could take a look. He and I got in a pretty major verbal throwdown because, really, we're both assholes. His big idea was the thermostat was busted, which is a relatively cheap fix.

Eventually I drove it to the mechanic who ran the dianostic. It's NOT the thermostat but rather an electrical system problem. The car ISN'T overheating but the computer is telling the temp. gauge that it IS overheating. FUCK YOU, KILLBOT.

Now the Super Bowl is on and I'm missing the party I was supposed to be at. What's more, I'm not even watching the game. I'm watching Netflix on my 360. I'm also trailer hunting. You see, the Super Bowl is all about movie trailer goodness for me. :)

So check these out:

GI Joe: Rise of Cobra:

Hey Guy In The White Truck. FUCK YOU!

Look motherfucker, I don't care WHAT kind of stereo you have in your car. Keep it at a respectable volume or I will pick your door! If I'm at a stoplight and you are next to me your shitty music should NOT be loud enough for the windows of MY car to be rattling! Your shit music is making my car vibrate because you feel the need to "show off" your subwoofers.

Guess what, douchebag! It's not impressive! You look like a fucking idiot! And I hope you get flat tires.

A New U2 Album Is On The Horizon

So there's a new U2 album coming out very soon. VERY SOON. It's called No Line on the Horizon and it's out in the first few days of March. Now this is awesome news in itself. But then I think about what this news lends itself to.



A tour. You see, I've had really bad luck when it comes to seeing U2 live and to this day...I haven't been able to see them. The worst of all was the last tour when I stashed enough money to buy tickets to more than one show as I wanted to see them a few times while they were in Southern California. The story was big in the media. Hackers and scalpers more or less defrauded the fans by crashing the Ticketmaster system anbd buying all the tickets within mere moments. Though I was at Ticketmaster the very MOMENT they went on sale, I was shown a "sold out" message. It was a punch in the gut.

That's not going to happen this time. I refuse to let it happen. When they tour this time I'm hoping to catch a couple of shows, presuming they play in San Francisco AND Sacramento. I told my brother, David, I'd take him to one of the shows because he's never truly been to a big concert. He's been to smaller things, radio station events, etc. But he's never been to an arena rock type of event. And I wanna be there with him when he sees one.

That's all
