Dead Or Alive?

The gist of this post is so simple and obvious that I would be surprised if someone else isn't already doing it. However, after a brief scan of my inbox an extensive search, I couldn't find anyone else asking you, "Dead or Alive?"

The rules are simple, I post a picture and ask the question, Dead or Alive? then you answer.

This week, Dick Van Dyke. So what do you think? Dead Or Alive?

G.I. Joe The Movie

I so want this movie to be great but pictures like the following (of Storm Shadow and The Baroness) have me worried.



The Baroness looks true to my adolescent image but what the hell is with Storm Shadow?! Where is his mask and why is he wearing a lab coat? Aside from this picture, another red flag that this movie is going to suck is the cast. I like the Wayans brothers in Scary Movie but can't imagine any of them bringing much to the table for GI Joe.

Oh, well at least I have Transformers II to look forward to.

pop-o-matic Reviews ... 30 Days Of Night

Critic's reviews have never influenced my decision to see or avoid something. Thumbs up or thumbs down, five stars, four apples, or ten rabbits - I don't care what someone I've never met thinks. The largest influencers of my viewing consumption are friends and fellow bloggers. In other words, you.

So here is my new review section in which, I'll share my thoughts on something and hope you chime in with your opinion in the comments section. Don't expect anything well thought-out or in depth from me. What you will get is whether I liked it or not.

Up first, horror flick, 30 Days Of Night, rated R and out now on DVD.

The story takes place in a small, remote, oil-refining town in northern Alaska, where once a year, the sun sets and doesn't rise again for 30 days - making it the perfect vacation spot for blood thirsty vampires. The film's star, Josh Hartnett is sort of annoying but he managed to play a likable character that I wasn't hoping would be killed off quickly after the start. 30 Days is a great mix of violent blood-shed, action, and suspense. Unfortunately, a lot of the suspense revolves around Hartnett's character who you know isn't going to be killed too early in the movie, which diminishes the suspense. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie until the final 15 minutes, which were ridiculous, seemingly thrown together at the last minute, and just plain crappy. Despite the ending, this was a good horror movie and I would recommend to fans of the genre.

My closing take on 30 Days Of Night? I liked it!

Super Happy Terrific Products: Space Shuttle Bunk Bed

I was never a huge fan of Ricky Schroeder's race car bed on Silver Spoons but I liked the idea of the bed/vehicle. If something like this Space Shuttle bunk bed existed when I was kid, it would have topped by birthday and Christmas list repeatedly until I got it.

Today, if I was a much shorter person, I would buy this in a snap but unfortunately, considering I'm taller than 6', it's not going to happen. Don't let that stop you though. The Space Shuttle Bunk Bed is available from My Moondrops for $2,600 and takes 6 to 8 weeks to be delivered.

This week, actor, Wil Wheaton (Stand By Me). So what do you think? Dead Or Alive?

If I Had Twitter

This is what you would be reading:

Regis just asked Kelly if she is a cougar. Kelly died a little inside.

I Have A Question

Why do uptight, Felix Unger, Jesus-loving Christians apply to be on the Real World? Have these people never watched an episode? In the past 302 seasons of the Real World, every season* has had the following:

Spoiler Alert! What you are about to read is a fabrication of highly sensitive Jeff Ideas. Many spies died to bring you the following:

Real World Casting Call

Four (4) borderline Leaving-Las-Vegas alcoholics
One Straight douche-bag white guy
One slightly nonthreatening but large black guy
One unbelievably prissy cheerleader girl

The only common thread among the multiplying legions of Real World housemates is the predisposition to live their televised lives as if it were the last Spring Break on Earth. I couldn't be more jealous. In fact, I auditioned for the Real World once and received a lovely rejection letter addressed to "John." That's a story for another time.

My long-winded point is this: people want to be on the Real World so they can spend three (3) months of their lives getting trashed, fucking idiots, and maybe visiting India. Sure those kids will need passports but are they prepared for the most disgusting smells they will ever encounter?

If your idea of a good time is reading the bible than do the viewing public a favor and stay home until the final judgment.

Everyone else, you should be watching the Real World Hollywood - It's terrific!.

* The very first Real World (showed real people in a real life setting) rumored to have taken place in the later part of the 20th century.
