Star Wars Day, yo! When are they going to turn this into a Federal Holiday?
Hey gang, I thought I’d throw up some of the videos from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner from last night (May 3, 2014). What I have here is Joel McHale’s performance along with President Obama’s routine and the Julie Louis-Dreyfus – Joe Biden bit. I’ve also included past videos of some of the other celebrities who have hosted this dinner. I just thought I’d throw them all in one place for your convenience. Enjoy!
Hello gang,
I thought I’d do something a little different with “The Amazing Spider-man 2” review and turn it over a contributing writer who likes to go by the name of ‘Brain Dead Bob.’ Or if you’re a really good friend, he allows you to just call him ‘Brain Dead’ or ‘BDB’ for short. When I asked him why he chose the pseudonym‘Brain Dead Bob’ all he gave me in return was ‘what’s a pseudonym?’ I felt it was best to stop asking him questions at that point.
Hello and welcome to the very first Know It All Joe “Duhhhh” award.
On March 24, 2014, at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, an eight-car train by-passed its destination and instead came to a stop someplace else. I quote CNN.com’s two detail-oriented reporters who are credited with this story (or as I like to call them, Mr. & Mrs. Obvious)…
What can I say about “Star Wars Episode VII?” It seems to be filled full of love triangles and betrayals. And damn those Wookiees. Can’t trust them! Poor Han.
The “Is this for here or to go” Conundrum
I can’t imagine anything more interesting than a good fast food story – whether it be about receiving the wrong order to just having to deal with plain bad behavior. I certainly have my tales. But today, I’d just like to point out a maddening observation I have made over the years. It’s the craziest little nitpick but seems to drive me nuts every time.
So there have been a lot of rumors going around as to who would pick up the “Indiana Jones” mantel once Harrison Ford steps down. The top rumor of the day is Bradley Cooper. Personally, I always thought Josh Holloway (Lost, Intelligence) would have made a great “Indiana Jones.” Harrison Ford is a very hard act to follow, but I always felt that Holloway had just the right amount of charm and charisma to follow in his footsteps.
I thought this magazine cover suited them better!
So I’m not a huge “Fast and the Furious” fan. I don’t dislike the films. But I’m not dying to see them either. Actually, I haven’t even seen them all yet. I liked the fifth one, but I wasn’t terribly crazy about the sixth. Maybe they are just a little too over the top for me. I love cartoon action, but I think I would enjoy these more if they were just a bit more grounded. I have the same problem with the “Die Hard” films. They started off with a character who was portrayed as a real person and as the film series progressed, that character became more and more superhuman. I still enjoyed them (not #5 at all), but I did have a harder time embracing them. (For the record, the first “Die Hard” is the best action film of all time.)
