A Little Reminder Just In Case You Forgot Who I Am

Since I have been slacking with my blog lately, yes, in case you are wondering, the evil sickness has left me. Well, the horrible sinus infection that decided to almost turn into bronchitis is over, however, my normal state of mental illness, I am happy to report, is still as good as ever. While I have been able to engross myself with lots of medicine (some of that shit I will never take again, I can't chance the nightmares!) a new play station game, lots of reality tv, a couple good movies (couple shitty ones too) and two dvd cerpts later I am happy to report I am an evil and decrepit human being. Now some of you may not find this surprising. I hear some of you saying "What, you? Never." Well, youse don't knows me very well do's you? OK first things first, The Departed is an awesome movie, if you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend it. School For Scoundrels sucks. So does Rocky Balboa and Open Season. Now onto a movie highly recommend and you probably never heard of let alone actually saw. The movie is Audition. It is directed by Takashi Miike and it is one of the creepiest horror movies I have seen in a very long time. In fact the movie is so creepy even Rob Zombie has not been able to sit through it all the way from beginning to end without looking away. Now it's obviously a foreign film and only subtitled versions are available so you're gonna have to read some. Not a lot though, cause there ain't that much dialogue. Lots of horrific tension and disturbing images. Come to think of it maybe it wasn't the medicine that gave me the nightmares. A&E's Gene Simmons' Family Jewels is an entertaining reality show, surprisingly better than the Osbournes ever was. Over on Discovery Channel a new season of Deadliest Catch has started. MTV just finished airing the wedding of their in house Jackass member Bam Margera (yes, his dad used to work for ACME). Bam's Unholy Union is part Jackass and part Lifetime's Wedding Story. I've also been watching MTV's latest edition of Real World which makes me glad I'm not one of the "Twenty Somethings" out there. Heroes is back on which is kinda like Lost without the island but with super powers. American Idol is winding down, Sanjaya is gone, so it almost still has it's believability factor. OK, not really. Lost keeps on rolling and gets better each week. I almost got it figured out. More on that in a blog coming soon. Survivor, although, almost done with it's fifteen minutes, this season did have the best tribal council EVER! And that's what I was doing when I was sick.
