February 27, 2005

Your 2004 Academy Awards Pick’Em Champion… Michael Dunford(pictured along with Lindsor) Some random observations about the 2004 Academy Awards Pick’Em Experience: 83 people competed in this year’s pick’em, compared to 41 last year, and only 14 the year before that. Daniel Graf, Debbie Drysdale, Kaz, and Frank Campbell all performed worse than their opponent “Random [...]

The Passion of The 2003 Academy Awards Pick’Em

March 2, 2004

5:20: Renee Zellweger. Hi, thanks for coming. You look like you are wearing a giant role of toilet paper. 5:30: The video montage with Billy Crystal spliced into various films from 2003 was actually pretty hilarious. One question: how many times did we have to see Billy Crystal’s bare breasts and buttocks? Seriously, zero times [...]

Some Questions About the Academy Award Nominations

January 30, 2004

Why is City of God nominated for Best Director, Cinematography, Film Editing, Adapted Screenplay, but not Best Foreign film? Furthermore, why is it not nominated for Best Picture? See this movie and you will know exactly what I’m talking about. Why are neither The Matrix Reloaded or The Matrix Revolutions nominated for a single visual [...]

I’m Tired…hence this totally incoherent and ultimately uninteresting journal entry.

Wow, I’m exhausted. Joy and I just returned from watching The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Special Edition with Brian/Josh and Kathy. Just sitting there and watching that movie is a draining experience, but that was on top of 10 hours in the lab. In fact, I would claim that this was one [...]

Halloween Pictures Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions: Prologue

November 4, 2003

The picture below confirms a previous story of mine regarding a city bus smashing into Ashwini’s apartment, which if you’ll recall, was just about the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen in my entire life at that point. That is, until this afternoon, when I got myself involved in a live journal dialogue that [...]

The Matrix Reloaded DVD

Finally! The Matrix Reloaded was released on DVD this Tuesday for all the world to enjoy in the comfort of their own home (or in the “discomfort” of their own home, in our case, as our couch has yet to arrive). Immediately after lab, Joy and I drove to the nearest Best Buy–which is across [...]

What about the rest of the Leprechaun series???

I was very pleased when Box Office Mojo released the preliminary weekend box-office results, and the first of two Ben Affleck/Jennifer Lopez movies, Gigli, made only $3.8 million or good enough for 8th on the charts. This was not unexpected given the terrible reviews from various critics and screening reports and that the general public [...]

Ridiculous and Quaid

* Ridiculous Item of the Day: I went to McDonald’s for breakfast last week. This is ridiculous, yes, but the most ridiculous item came when a man parked his brand new Honda Civic in the parking lot, went to the payphone, checked the coin return slot, and then got back in his car and drove [...]

Best Picture

Instead of doing all of my Academy Awards comments in one long journal entry, I think I’ll just do a category here and there as I feel a rush of creative energy. Tonight, we’ll start off with the biggest of them all, Best Picture. First of all, let me say that only two of the [...]

Judgment Night

March 18, 2003

0 Comments

First of all, how good was the movie “Judgment Night” with Dennis Leary and Emilio Estevez!? So good…in a mid-90′s sort of way. Anyway, it is now Day Four of preparation for our neuroanatomy final–and for all you keeping track, this is officially Day 10 of the No DSL Internet Chronicles–and with an exception of [...]
