I heard this on the radio this morning then found an article over at evhead which I thought was quite the coincidence. This is funny stuff.

A black bear was found passed out at a campground in Washington state recently after guzzling down three dozen cans of a local beer, a campground worker said on Wednesday.

BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAH. some more…

It turns out the bear was a bit of a beer sophisticate. He tried a mass-market Busch beer, but switched to Rainier Beer, a local ale, and stuck with it for his drinking binge.

This bear if awesome. Read the story here

Here’s an article on Wired.com about the whole free ipod thing It has worked for a bunch of people. I just wished that it worked for me. So come on people, lets get some free ipods!

Seems pretty cool. I’m messing around with it now.

The latest Lost Prophets album - “Start Something” is pretty sweet. It’s a change from their previous album, yet a good change in my minds eye. Some may say it’s not as hard as the fake sound of progress yet this cd has some great tracks. Take for instance the hit single “Last Train Home.” Everybody likes that song including myself, yet there is lots more where that came from. For example “Make a Move,” “Burn Burn,” “Hello again” and “To hell we ride” are all good ones. Speaking for myself, this cd is one that I can listen to every track all the way through. Whereas in the Fake sound of progress I find myself skipping only to songs that I like.

I saw Alien vs. Predator today. I will be honest. It was a cool action flick. Some nice alien on predator action (hmm sounds gross…) anyways the story lacks a little bit. Basically this movie is all about the action. There is no real “movie stars” in this film except for maybe the Predators or the Aliens which most of us have seen before. There wasn’t a whole lot of techno-widgetry like I would like, just raw action. The ending was supposed to “tie together” the Alien and Predator films, yet it’s pretty freaking far fetched. I mean, common! How is the one freaking baby alien supposed to kill off a whole humongous ship of Predators in order for it to crash and way later in the future for Sigourney Weaver and friends to find them? It was just too far fetched for me. Other than a few plot and story issues (which there is really nothing to talk about) the movie had good special effects and just the sheer coolness of the Predator. (I’ve always like the Predator over Aliens) So with that, check it out in the theatre if you would like to see it on the big screen and hear all the good audio effects. If not, wait to rent.
My Rating: 7 of 10 (Would have been 6 except I liked the action)

After randomly finding the movie on Jason Santa Maria’s weblog I decided to check the movie out. I found the official website and watched the trailers for the first time, then watched them again over at the Apple trailers section. Now that info is out of the way, on to my thoughts.

First of all, after watching the trailer with only film and songs(nobody talked) I instantly wanted to see the film. I loved how the songs and cinematography went together perfectly. I wanted to see it as soon as possible. It’s quite odd how a trailer would have that effect on you. That was on Thursday night, and I wasn’t able to see it until Friday. It is only playing at two theatres in San Diego because it’s one of those smaller indie like films. To begin, Zach Braff (most known from Scrubs) wrote and directed and acted as the lead character in this film. Just on that aspect, he’s freaking awesome. He also acted along side Natalie Portman who played quite well.

I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead looks awesome. Clive Owen is one of my favorite actors for the last couple years since I found bmwfilms.com I wish it was playing around me. I don’t know how I’m going to be able to see it. Anyways, check out the trailer

What should I do if the internet goes down?
Funny stuff.

I was just seeing if any readers have any good ideas for a new domain name address (www.something.com) for this site. I’ve been wanting to move to a sing domain name for this weblog for a little while now, and just wanted to get some input from readers. I have some thoughts, and don’t be offended if I don’t pick yours. Leave a comment. Reasonable ones only please. Thanks.

My initial thoughts on the movie are, “Tom Cruise is cool, yet creepy and odd looking with silver hair.” I saw the movie Collateral just a couple days ago with Rachel, and it was quite the entertaining movie. Jamie Foxx does really well in one of his first really big movies. I don’t want to give away anything, so don’t read this entry too much if you don’t want to know too much of what happens.
