What Did I Miss?

Do you find yourself asking someone this at the movies after you return from the bathroom?

Now you don't have to with a new website: RunPee.com

The website will tell you the best times during a movie to go to the bathroom. It also has an app. for iPhones. During a movie it will buzz your phone a minute in advance of the best pee break time. It will also give you a synopsis of what you are missing.

This was actually created by a professional football player, Jordan Palmer (Carson's brother).

Send Me An Angel

I just heard this song today in the car and I can't help but think of the movie "Rad" every time I hear it.

For those that have never seen this movie you are missing what might be the greatest movie of all time. Check it out.



Where else can you find Uncle Jessie's girlfriend before Full House, rad bike moves from 80's pro-freestyle bikers, bad guys dressed in 80's gear that look like they just got off the Starship Enterprise, and an obvious male stunt double for Uncle Jessie's girlfriend.

Watch this movie if you never have and I promise you whenever you here Send Me An Angel by Real Life again you will not be able to think of anything else besides this scene in the movie.

The Hulk or Larry Bird?

Is it just me or should Ed Norton be playing Larry Bird's life story vs. playing The Hulk?

Ed is starting to look like a skinny version of Larry these days.

The Hulk and Larry Bird have a lot in common:

-Both are very tall: The Grey Hulk stands at 6 feet 6 inches tall and Larry stands at 6 feet 9 inches tall.
-Both had troubled childhoods growing up which defined their future.
-Both have mild mannered personalities until they get mad and then dominate their competition.
-Both are defined by the color green.

The Hulk also has one of the greatest & fastest healing abilities in the Marvel Universe. He can heal in a matter of minutes from wounds that would prove deadly or incapacitating to nearly everyone else.

This is very similar to Larry. He had one of the greatest & fastest healing abilities in the NBA Universe. He can heal in a matter of minutes from wounds that would keep anyone else out of a playoff game.

Check out Larry's super human strength in the clip below. Go Celtics!!!

Indiana Jones: Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

I ended up being one of those geeks that went to the new Indiana Jones movie at 12:15am last night. I was going into it expecting to be disappointed and knowing that this would probably be my least favorite out of all of the movies. Even with those expectations I still never dreamed of how I would really feel...it was awful.

For those that might still want to see this movie I won't give anything away. Some of the things that were fine were:

- Harrison Ford's age: Obviously everyone kept talking about how old he is and would look and act. Obviously he does look older in the movie but he was still able to pull it off. He played an older Indiana and it seemed to fit OK. Seeing him in recent interviews talking and moving around you would think that he should have a walker but in the movie he was a bit better than I expected.

- Indiana Jones' Outfit: Always cool. Also one of the main reasons that I stopped wearing jeans to school and started wearing pants like him after seeing Raiders of The Lost Ark. To this day I'm still trying to find a hat that fits like his...still looking.

- John Williams' Score: How can you not like the music...brings back memories...

I'll give you my thoughts on what the different title choices for the movie should have been which will give you hints into why I felt the movie was so bad.

Indiana Jones:

• "Kingdom Of The Gofers From Caddyshack"
• "How To Swing With Monkeys"
• "Raiders Of The Lost E.T."
• "Temple Of The Crazy Men Leaping Out Of Cave Walls"
• "How To Survive A Nuclear Explosion"

Student Council

This is a continuation from a post on The Furthest Point blog. It talks about an upcoming Oliver Stone movie called "W".


Does Elizabeth Banks really look like Laura Bush?


I can confidently say, "No". Why can I say "No" without any question or doubt...well I went to high school with her. While I'm not sure how she'll do acting as Laura Bush I do know that she has experience in politics.

Elizabeth (Liz) and I were on the Pittsfield High School Student Council. She was two years older than I was and was always vetoing my attempts to improve our school.

She never liked my suggestions for White T-Shirt Cheerleader Car Washes, a Pancake Breakfast for Guidance Councilors, or a Battle of the Bands concert in which the lead singer attempts to light himself on fire during a pep rally (this actually happened).

So while I'm not so sure how this movie will do at least they chose an actor that has a background in politics. Her real name is Elizabeth (Liz) Mitchell but this name was already taken by another actress. She had to use her mother's maiden name of Banks. For those of you that are J.J. Abrams, Lost, geeks then you'll be able to figure out who has the name Elizabeth Mitchell.

Zeitgeist - The Movie

I ended up listening to a radio show that was talking about conspiracy theories. I'm not one that really cares about them but they kept pushing an on line movie to watch. Pretty interesting.

I would like to dig in more and investigate the claims they make but if you just took this at it's face value as fact then you probably won't be able to sleep for another 3 weeks.

It's an actual movie about 2 hours long but I was hooked into watching. Starts off with religion, then into 9/11, and then ends with the Federal Reserve Bank. I've attached the link below to view the movie.

I do have to warn you that after watching the movie, within 4 minutes and 36 seconds, two government officials will be knocking on your door giving you a cavity search...don't worry...they were very gentle with me. The clip I attached above is a good preview of the movie. If you find interesting you can watch the entire movie. See link below.
