The Stink

Here is the debut of one ill movie. An attempt to motivate myself to watch more movies, review more movies, discuss more movies, and, most importantly, practice my stand-up, this "blog" should push me in the right direction. I am also pretty lame. Having a blog may make me a bit more "hip". Like all my creative, artsy hipster friends have blogs. They might take me a little more seriously if I have one too. People talk about "blogs" all the time and I don't even find the time to read my friends' blogs as much as I should. I am a horrible friend. This may make me a better friend if I start running in the blog circle. is there a blog circle? What shape is it?...but by no means am I cluess. I have wanted to have a blog for a long time now. I just needed a little inspiration. that inspiration came from amie king. (Please visit her at www.amieking.com). I can't help but think of old men like my dad who say things like, "what's this blogger stuff? What's that all about? Why do I give a @?#$L$>@ what some stupid yuppie thinks?" This came up a lot during the last election that I like to pretend didn't happen. My goal--perhaps my daddy one day will read my blog and understand what blogging is all about. "My daddy thinks I'm the best"...at french kissing that is.

So yeah, I guess I should review a movie, right? Well I don't feel like it right now. All I have to say is that I watched "The Sting" last night and wanted to call it "The Stink". People have been raving about this flick my whole life and I did sit through the entire movie thinking and saying out loud "was that supposed to be the hilarious part?" What's so hilarious? I always like seeing Doc Hopper from the Muppet Movie though; that's what I liked best. I did like Robert Redford's pimp daddy burgundy suit and train scenes are always great but I have to say how can some corporate fancypants criminal banker be stupid enough to gamble a half million dollars? It just doesn't work, once again, it's not hilarious either. And fake blood at the end: stupid and predictable. Much like the entire film. Don't get me wrong, Robert Redford and Paul Newman were hot back in the day but not hot enough to be walking around in wife beaters. Como se dice scrawny?
