I wonder who the first guy was...
Who said "Why don't you get a better job!" When some kid asked him "Hey mister, how about a tip?"
I'm gonna start a band!
It's gonna be easy. I'll find a bunch of Mexicans and have them play pop-punk covers. We'll call the band GreenCard.

Is that a lower back tattoo?
T-Mobile strikes again!
Scene: 2 guys sitting in a diner eating. The Asian guy asks his white friend for another guy's work number. The white guy leans forward to get his cell phone out and his shirt rides up on his back. What is there? A tramp stamp.
Asian guy: "Is that a lower back tattoo?"
White guy: "Yeah, fresh ink"
Asian guy: "Player?"
White guy: "No man, playA"
The Asian guy whips out his phone and starts fiddling with it.
White guy: "What are you doing?"
Asian guy: "Taking you out of my 5. Possibly out of my life."
Kudos T-Mobile. I love your commercials above most cell phone provider commercials.

Live Free or Die Hard!
Was GREAT!
Anyone who knows me in real life knows I have trouble watching movies sometimes. My inner cynic just won't shut off. I get pissed off at the impossible feats for some reason. I only had ONE moment like that, when a Nokia cellphone/PDA was used to do some crazy stuff.
Aside from that I had a great time. Suprisingly the PG-13 didn't feel like much of a hinderance, though there is at least one scene that will probably be restored in an R or Un Rated DVD, as well as a few places that seemed to me like langauge edits.
So if you haven't seen it yet, please go do so. It' the best movie I've seen this summer, easily kicking the crap out of POTC3 and Spider-Man 3.
Next on the docket... Transformers! Michael Bay don't fail me now!

Why is Jennifer Love Hewitt in you Top 5?
I have a certain fondness for cell phone commercials. The new T Mobile commercial is brilliant.
Two friends in a restaurant, one sees JLH in the other's Top 5. "Why is Jennifer Love Hewitt in you Top 5?" "We're kind of seeing each other" "Prove it. Call her."
So the guy proceeds to call the JLH number in his phoen and asks if he left some green socks in her tub, and if she can wash them. He carries this off with aplomb, his friend is stunned. However we see where the phone rings, and it looks like a pizzaria, where a pimply faced guy answers the phoen and listens for a moment before yelling "STOP CALLING HERE!"
Oh T Mobile, your and Verizon's commercials are pretty funny. My carrier CIngular.. not so much.

Delta Farce (Trailer)
Anyone else find this piece of crap just a little offensive towards the people who are actually in places like Fallujah?

The Return of Stinky Ads!
Anyone who read a gaming magazine during the heydey of the SNES has (not so) fond memories of the print ads for Earthbound. The game was essentially a Japanese NES game that was ported to the SNES. Set in modern times, you ate hamburgers and drank sodas instead of taking health potions. Checking in barrels? Heck no. In the town of Onette you look in trash cans.
So, it was a wonderful game, but that ads for it literally stunk. Nasty, putrid smells. They're the stuff of legend on gaming message boards.
It seems that Microsoft has taken notice with their new print ads for Forza 2. Yes, these ads have a flap you can open, much like a perfume ad, and you get a smell. And not a pleasant one. I have no scanner, so I'm going to describe the ad here, and tell you to pick up an issue of EGM to experience it for yourself. Someone could send me a scan of it, and I'll post it here, but honestly, you've got to see (and smell) this for yourself. Honestly, having it sitting here on my desk is making me a little naseous.
We see a nice render of a sports car, with white lettering beneath it which reads 'There's only one thing tje game doesn't give you." And then you open the flap and see "The Smell. This is the scent produced by the Nissan Fairlady Z as it pulls away from the starting grid using 275/35-19 Toyo Proxes R888 racing tires inflated to 42 PSI"
I see complaints about the ad being in the letters section of just about every mag this ad runs in.
