TV Quote of the Week

Well most everything was a rerun this week, so I took this week's quote from an older British TV show I was watching online called 'Skins'.

Interviewer: I'm looking for a trainee. Somebody good with people. A talker.

Chris: I'm a talker. I mean, I've been talking for...well I don't know how long exactly, but years. And I know a load of words as well, like apivorous, for example.

Interviewer: What's that?

Chris: Someone who eats bees.

What the French, Toast?

This is the best commercial ever, not because its "stylish", but because its hilarious. Its kind of old, but they've been playing it again quite a bit and I just realized how funny it is when the guy says "what the french, toast?"

Best Movies of 2009

It took me into 2010 to see most of the movies I wanted to (not all of them get released around here), so here's my favorites from last year:

1) District 9 - I thought the plot was relatively similar to Avatar, a man infiltrates and tries to save an alien race (though these aliens live in a slum in South Africa). But I liked this 100x more. The special effects aren't the focus of the movie, but they're really good and enhance the movie. Its just really, really cool.

2) Inglourious Basterds - Quentin Tarantino is a genius.

3) Paranormal Activity - I love it when movies are made for no money and are actually
good. its pretty scary.

4) Up - I would never have a dog, but this movie convinced me that if dogs could talk
then i might reconsider. Talking dogs are hilarious.

5) Drag Me To Hell - Disgusting and funny and actually one of the scarier movies to
come out in a while.

6) Precious - A fat, black 14 year old girl is pregnant for the 2nd time by her
father. Plus she lives with her abusive (in every aspect) mother. The comedienne, Mo'nique, playing the abusive mother, gives the best performance of the year.

7) Sugar - This one didn't get much of a release, so I saw it on DVD, but its one of my favorite sports movies ever. Its about a young guy from the Dominican Republic who comes to Iowa to play minor league baseball. Its different than most sports movies, but feels very authentic.

8) Bruno - I would never, ever recommend anyone see this movie. Its horribly disgusting and offensive, but it made me laugh more than any other movie this year.

9) The Fourth Kind - Apparently everybody hated this movie except me. But its been a
while since i've seen a good alien abduction movie and this one totally sucked me in.

10) Ninja Assassin - Ninjas slicing people up. Awesome.
