Fight Club

How many times have Gideon and I discussed how many kids we could beat up at one time? My usual go to answer was around 27. Well this confirms it...

27

Vantage Point

Saturday night I went to see Vantage Point by myself before work. Wow, that sounds so absolutely pathetic. Anyways, let me say that this was the third time in my life I have went to the movies alone. The first: I moved back to my mom's for the summer between my first and second year at Gannon and decided to walk over to the crappy theater in Philipsburg to see Gladiator, which I had already seen once and wanted to see it again. The second time: I went to Johnstown with my dad to do canvasing while he was at a sales appointment. After walking around Johnstown for like 6 hours asking people if they were interested in a sun-room, I decided to quit. Unfortunately my dad had another appointment and they usually last like 3 hours, so I went to see Insomnia, that sucked because I was pretty much the only person alone in the place.

This experience was not so bad, no one noticed I was alone, which did not really bother me as much as I thought it would. Granted, I did walk in as the previews just ended and the movie was about to start (great timing).

The movie was pretty good. Nothing outstanding, but nothing horrible. It's one of those movies that I would never buy, but I would probably watch it multiple times on HBO (especially if I kept catching it at different points)...

I will complain about the people at the theater. The movie is called VANTAGE Point, it is about different peoples VANTAGE points during a presidential assassination. One of the creative things about the movie is once one of these points ends, they rewind and go to a black screen which says the time (and it is the same time throughout)...I heard like five different people say things like this:

"Oh my god, are they going to keep doing that?"
"What is the point of this? Can't they just tell us who killed the president?"
"I am confused."

You get the picture. Mostly from high school girls who kept getting up every three seconds and walking out and then coming back into the theater. I understand that there is absolutely nothing to do on a Saturday night in Cranberry if you are 17, but do NOT ruin my movie going experience. If you want to hang out with your friends, why bother buying a ticket? Just stand up at the few video games they have and pretend you are at an arcade.

If I have kids (not bloody likely), and I find out they behave this way...I swear to God (or maybe the Tooth Fairy) that I will hire a $260 hitman to put tiny bullets into their tiny, retarded brains.

Vomiterium

A few quick things before I go to work today, okay I have work in 4 hours, but I have very little to say at the moment. My brain feels mushy.

-I joined Adam (my brother's) Oscar pool. If you want to join, go here and sign up, then click on the Oscar's stuff and join a party. The party we are in is: No Party For Old Men. The passcode is apartment300.

If anyone in the group gets the high score (overall on movies.com) then we will all split the money. Seems like a good deal to me. Also, we could always have a little side betting action...

-I need some people for our fantasy baseball league. Let me or Offord know if you are interested.

-Some ladies have complained that I never put pictures up of attractive men. I apologize for that and I will try to do better. Here you go ladies.

Turkish Delights

I did not want anyone to think I was skimping out on pictures of hot chicks, especially on a Lost post, so I will throw some more pictures of hot Turkish women. Okay, do I really need an excuse?

This is Gamze Özçelik, I found her myspace page too, she has a few decent pics there.



This girl gets two pictures, Çağla Kubat. She apparently got her degree in mechanical engineering and is a champion windsurfer.

Obviously those little facts make her much more sexy...okay probably not.

Lost: Episode 404

Wow, I think this may have been longest streak Sawyer ever went without being slapped or punched. Pretty impressive.

Quick Recap
Kate visits Miles and wants to know what the people on the freighter know about her and the rest of the survivors. Miles says he will tell her if he can talk to Ben. She gets Sawyer to help her out, he goes and distracts John with backgammon, and she takes Miles to Ben's house.

Sawyer tells John that Kate may be trying to bust Miles out, so they head down to the boathouse where Miles is kept. Kate takes Miles inside John's place and confronts Ben. Miles says that he wants $3.2 million and in exchange he will tell the man he works for that Ben is dead, and he will also take care of Charlotte. Ben says he will need a week.

Locke comes back and takes Miles away. He tells Kate she is banished from the Barracks. She goes to Sawyer, who says that he can stay with her. They have sex. The next morning Sawyer says something about her being pregnant, and she says that she is not pregnant (must be on the rag). Sawyer is very relieved, Kate is not. She says she is going back to the beach, and Sawyer makes a joke that she'll be back after her next fight with Jack. She slaps him.

Locke decides to upgrade his method of extracting information from Miles. He takes the pin out of a grenade and shoves it in Miles' mouth and tells him to enjoy his breakfast. Almost like a line out of Rambo.

Jack forces Charlotte to call the freighter, and Regina tells them that Frank and the helicopter have not arrived yet, even though it has been well over a day.

Flashforward
Kate is treated like a big celebrity in the future. The first part deals with her trial. She tells her lawyer that she will not put her son on the stand. He then says that they need character witnesses. Jack shows up and testifies. He says that he was hurt and Kate saved him and the other passengers. The Prosecutor asks Jack if he loves Kate, and he says not anymore.

Kate's mom comes to see her and she says that she will not testify against Kate, if she can see her grandson. Kate says no. Her mom does not testify, which pretty much ruins the D.A.'s case. They strike a plea bargain, 10 years probation and she cannot leave California. Kate takes the deal.

As she leaves a back entrance, Jack is waiting for her. She thanks him, and he says that he lied (obviously he lied about what happened, but I think he meant he lied when he said he did not love her anymore). Kate asks him if he wants to come back to her place. He says no that he has to get to the hospital. He then offers to have coffee sometime. She says that he has to see the baby or he cannot see her.

She gets home and her nanny tells her that the kid slept well and did not watch the TV (presumably her trial was televised). Kate goes up and picks him up (he is much bigger than I was expecting) and he yawns and calls her mommy, and she calls him Aaron, and he has blond hair.

What happened? How long are they on the island? The story they must have agreed to (probably to help Kate) was that everyone died and the Oceanic Six were rescued by Kate.

Aaron must not count as the Oceanic Six, since he was born on the island, and would not be considered a survivor of the crash, probably more of a heartwarming story about how Kate tried to deliver a child of an injured Claire, but the mother died, but Kate was able with Jack's help save the child. Or were they on the island so long that she was able to say that Aaron was her own child. Or is the child Sawyer's and they were on the island so long that Kate got pregnant and had him?

On a sidenote, Josh Holloway (Sawyer) should not wear a suit, even if it is to the SAG Awards. And I would have thought his wife would be much hotter...

More Turkish Movies

Sometimes when I am very bored, I like to take the movie quizzes on Facebook. Some of you realize this because I challenge you quite often to beat my scores. I just took one that was in Turkish, and I believe it was about identifying different Turkish actresses, sorry Female Actors, oh wait, it's Turkey, so the correct term probably is Sex Slave. Just kidding.

Anyways, the point I was going to make before I started making fun of the Turks, which after checking pictures of their ladies, I will no longer do whatsoever. I may start renting some Turkish Movies...okay, probably not.

The above picture is Deniz Akkaya. Could I bang a girl whose name sounds like Dennis? Yes. Yes I could.

FuckTards

These two kids, obviously from one of the more hillbilly states (not that Pennsylvania is much better) tried to have their parents whacked. Let me first say that I am not against this, if the parents were shitty or at least in the kid's mind, let him do what he wants.

What bothers me is the absolute stupidity in which he went about it. $260!!?? What kind of hitman can you hire with that kind of money? Not a very good one. I am guessing they were not planning on getting rid of the body or anything, just walk in and shit the parents with the guns the kid gave them? I am sure that even the dumbest of cops could figure that one out, maybe.

If I were a hitman and some dumbass kid tried to give me $260 for a double hit, I would probably shoot the kid, take his money, and then go to a strip club. If only the government would legalize Moron Hunting...

Poll Results

It seems the majority of us are most excited about The Dark Knight (yes, that is what I voted for). I am curious as to what Other movies people are more excited about? Indiana Jones? 10,000 BC? Candyland the Movie???

Anyways let me know, and I will try to think of another poll question for later...

Quick Quiz

Can you guess what this is? Obviously not my 2 a.m. snack...

Double Standard

Last night at work, remember I cannot discuss where I work, a couple of drunk,gay guys were there and when I passed by they were like "hey, you're cute." I said thanks and continued to walk away. They kept saying stuff, but I ignored it. Then one of the female employees comes back and she's like "those guys think your hot, they want you to go talk to them." I ignored her and continued doing paperwork and getting ready for various other assignments that needed to be finished. I did not go out to where those guys were for the rest of the night, mostly because I was uncomfortable, and also because I had no need.

Once I got home, I realized what really annoyed me about the situation. If I make one comment to them, I would be the bad guy. It would turn into me being accused of being a hate-mongering, homophobe.

If a bunch of drunk guys were making comments to a female employee, and she was uncomfortable, she could ask them to leave, and no one would really say anything about it. That is what annoys me, the next time a girl comes up to me and says "those guys are making me uncomfortable" maybe I will just say "awe, it's cute."

Anyways, back to work for another fun filled night. Here is yet another picture of some hot chicks, which I figure makes up for this crappy post.

Lost: Episode 403

Sayid has always been one of my favorite characters. He just comes off as so always in control and sure of himself. As you probably guessed, this was a Sayid-centric episode.

Main Story
Sayid tells Frank that he will go to Locke and get Charlotte, in exchange Frank will take Sayid to the ship. As Sayid goes to leave, Miles says he is coming as well, which Sayid says he figured as much. Jack wants Kate to go because he does not trust Locke and knows that Sawyer will make sure that nothing happens to her.

Before they leave, Sayid looks at a bracelet on Naomi's wrist and it sparks his curiosity of the group. On the way, Miles asks why the group split apart and Sayid tells him that some did not know if they should trust Miles and his friends. Miles then asks which side Sayid is on and he says he is still deciding.

They arrive at the barracks, only to find Hurley tied up in one of the closets. As they search Ben's house, Sayid finds a hidden room with all sorts of passports of Ben's and tons of money. Kate searches a room and Sawyer sneaks up on her, when she yells for Sayid, it is revealed to be a trap of Locke's.

They begin to negotiate and Locke says he will not give Charlotte to Sayid. Sayid knew this and that is why he brought Miles along. Kate asks Sawyer why he is with Locke, and Sawyer says that he does not want to leave the island. He reminds her that there is nothing for either of them. She scoffs at this and says that they cannot stay here playing house. Sawyer says yes they can, and gives her the serious "let's have lots of sex" look.

Sayid returns to the helicopter with Charlotte. Jack asks where Kate is, and Sayid says she stayed with Sawyer. Frank asks about Miles and Sawyer casually says that the deal was for him to return Charlotte, safe and sound. Frank laughs it off and says that Miles was a pain in the ass. Desmond, Sawyer, and Frank prepare to fly back to the boat.

Quick aside, at some point, Daniel starts doing an experiment where he contacts the ship and has them send a rocket. The chick on the other end says it arrives, but it never actually does. Then later it falls from the sky. Daniel had a clock inside of the rocket set with the clock on the receiver, they are now 31 minutes apart. Before Frank leaves, Daniel tells him to make sure he does veer off the heading they came in on, not at all.

Flashforward
Sayid is playing golf. A gentleman comes up to him and bets him money about a shot. Sayid loses the bet, but not before informing the man that he is from the Oceanic Six. The man gets nervous and as he tries to leave, Sayid pulls a gun on him and addresses the gentleman by his real name and then shoots him.

Next time we see him, he goes into a cafe in Berlin and asks a woman to sit with her. He then asks her for directions. He then becomes ultra smooth and asks her for a date. The next few scenes show them together, and we learn that she works for someone and her job is to be at his call whenever he comes to Berlin. We learn that Sayid is after that guy. I guess Sayid has become the Iraqi James Bond.

When the beeper finally goes off, Sayid has fallen in love with her. He tells her that she needs to leave Berlin, she then shoots him and wants to know who he is working for (oooh, double agent shit, gotta love it), Sayid then shoots her. We see him stumble into an animal clinic and a doctor starts working on his wound. He is chiding him for thinking with his heart and not just shooting. We then see that it is Ben.

Oh yeah, another quick aside, after Sayid shoots Elsa (that was her name by the way) we see the same bracelet that Naomi was wearing.

Ben says that he has another name for Sayid, who argues that they know he is coming for them. Ben reminds him that he is doing this to protect his friends and then says "Good" about people knowing they are gunning for them...

Who are they going after? Well it seems they are probably taking down the mysterious group that is searching for the island. They must have reasons to harm the Oceanic Six. I know many of you are going to assume that Ben is one of the Oceanic Six, but he cannot be, since he was never on Oceanic 815, nor was Juliet.

That is the best picture I can find of Charlotte (Rebecca Mader)...so here is another one of Kate.

Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine's Day. It reminds me that on this day three years ago, I met Kacie. And now, I am alone. Luckily I work midnights, so I will not have to think about it too much, plus Lost is on tonight...



Oh, and as Warren Ellis would say, Happy Horny Werewolf Day!











This is for Warren Ellis' new online comic project. I know none of you read comics, but it's more of a reminder for me to check it out when it goes live...

Cosmetic Changes

As most of you probably noticed, I changed the colors and whatnot. I hope you all like it. Let me know your feelings on it. Also, how would I change the top picture? Not the one of me, but the one along the banner? Not a big deal, just not a fan of that weird thing.

I also added the site FilmDrunk to the Random Sites section. If you like WithLeather or WWTDD, then you will like FilmDrunk.

I am putting up a new poll, which I hope you all participate in and talk about in this comment section. And yes, I like the pictures of this chick and they may be on every post I make today.

Blah Blah Blah

Today could be the absolute worst day to ever be awake early. All that is on TV is crap about Roger Clemens. I keep meaning to write something about it, but in all honesty, I have no interest in the entire affair. Nothing huge will happen, Clemens will not burst into tears and admit that he became a roid junky. McNamee will not tell the world he lied (and that he is a freak who saved syringes, after planting Clemens' DNA on them...)

Anyways, I will be sitting here all day, bored out of my mind. Probably taking a nap around 2 or 3. Then heading into work at 10 p.m.

Lost: Episode 402

We learn that the rescuers are not really there to save them and also that they are definitely not the type of people you expect to find on a rescue mission, haha. This episode also made me come up with a theory, which I need work out, so I will discuss that in a little bit.

The Island
Daniel tells Kate and Jack that they must find the others who were in the helicopter, when he turns, they notice he is carrying a gun. They use GPS tracking to find Miles, who immediately pulls his gun on Kate and Jack and wants to know what happened to Naomi. They go to the body of Naomi, and Miles looks over the body and says that he knows they are telling the truth about how she died.

Jack then says that Miles and Daniel need to hand over the gun because Jack has people pointing guns at them (reminiscent of when the Others pulled the same thing on Jack), and when Miles calls his bluff, shots start firing. Sayid and Juliet come out and take the two prisoner.

Daniel admits that they came to the island for someone else, not the survivors of 815. He shows them a picture of Ben...They then find Frank, who shows them where he landed the helicopter.

As the other group makes it's way towards the barracks, Ben pisses off Sawyer, who beats the crap out of him until Locke convinces Sawyer not to kill him. They then find Charlotte, the last member of the rescue party. Ben takes Karl's gun and shoots Charlotte in the chest. Sawyer tackles him, and we learn that Charlotte is quite fine because she is wearing a bullet-proof vest. Locke decides he must kill Ben, but Ben tells him that he has information about the new group on the island because he has a man on their boat.

Flashbacks
The flashbacks in the episode give us a quick introduction to who Daniel, Miles, Charlotte, and Frank really are.

Daniel...He watches the news about the remains of Flight 815 being found in the Sundra Trench, and he begins to cry for no apparent reason. Little is known about him, although he did tell Jack that he was a physicist.

Miles...This dude talks to ghosts. He goes into some woman's house, talks to her dead son, who tells him where to find some drugs and cash, and then leaves, but not before giving her a partial refund.

Charlotte...She is at an excavation site in Tunisia. She identifies the remains of a polar bear, and as she examines it closer, finds a collar from the DHARMA Hydra Station.

Frank...He sees the news about the recovery of 815 and the picture of the man found in the cockpit, who they claim was the pilot. He calls Oceanic and says that the man on TV is not the pilot because he does not have a wedding ring on and that he knew the pilot very well because Frank was supposed to be the pilot of 815...

The last flashback shows Naomi talking to the black guy from the previous episode, his name is Matthew. They are looking at pictures of the team, and she says they are not qualified for the mission. Matthew says they are fine and she must worry about her job and finish the mission.

The whole polar bear in Tunisia thing really made me think. The only theory I could come up with is that the island is not really inside our time frame. The Others had a way to travel to various time periods (which explains how they could learn so much information about people), but somehow that communication has been severed.

Okay, that's not much of a theory, but it's the best I have got. I also keep thinking about the four-toed statue and how that will be explained. Ben also told the Others to head to the Temple. We have seen massive ruins on the island, I wonder if this could be Atlantis...haha, now I am just talking out my ass.

Anyways, what did you think? Any theories you care to share? Doesn't Sun look hot?

Quick Reviews

These are some of things I have recently finished watching or reading, and instead of doing long reviews, thought I would do some quickies.

Movies
-The Last Legion-This movie sucked. I am pretty sure it was just King Arthur without Clive Owen or Keira Knightley.

-3:10 to Yuma-Awesome movie. One of the better westerns to come out recently, much better than that other crapfest I watched...Oh, and I have seen the original 3:10, and trust me, this one was much better.

Comics
-Detective Comics #840 by Paul Dini. Ra's al Ghul recently returned from the grave (long story) and he comes to Gotham and gloats to Bruce that he will be setting up shop there and that it will be his mission to destroy Batman. That does not sit well with Batman, since Ra's knows all of his secrets. We have seen Batman fight dirty, but this is one of the moment's where he seemed very capable of taking a life. Anyways, check it out, Paul Dini is the best writer of Batman out there today.

-Fell #9-Detective Richard Fell goes to a hostage situation only to find that things are not as they seem. A young man returns from Afghanistan, and finds his parents dead. They died because the hospital said their medicare would not cover the medicine they needed and they could not afford it otherwise. So, Fell takes the corpses to the hospital and dumps them on the director's desk, then leaves him alone with the angry son. Anyways, Fell is the kind of comic anybody could pick up and enjoy. It is not like most comics which have a lot of backstory. You can read any issue and completely understand what is going on. Anyways, I always recommend picking up a copy of any Warren Ellis book, and this is a great one.

Book
Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. This is kind of the sequel to American Gods, it features the two sons of Anansi (Mr. Nancy), Fat Charlie and Spider, who finally meet after their father's death. The book has everything, much like life itself, a little comedy, a little romance, some action, some mystery, ghosts, gods, witches...Anyways, I recommend it.

Well that's it for today. Lost is tonight, how exciting.

Bull Riding

So, I was forced to watch bull riding tonight. What a stupid sport. Why the hell do they wear helmets nowadays? How fuckin' gay...

Lost: Episode 401

I realize most of you have given up on Lost, and think it sucks because we never get answers, only more questions. I still love the show and thought the premiere last night was pretty cool. Definitely gives me something to look forward to on Thursdays, stupid writer's strike...

Main Story
The season picks up where it ended. The group thinks they are about to be rescued. Desmond meets up with Sawyer, Bernard, Hurley, Sayid, and Juliet. He tells them that Charlie is dead and that his final message was that it was not Penny's boat. Sawyer wants to use the walkie-talkie to warn Jack, but Sayid says no, that the boat will be monitoring their communications. As they argue, Hurley grabs the walkie and tosses it into the ocean. He says they have to hurry back.

During their brisk walk across the island, Hurley gets separated from the group and finds the creepy house of Jacob. As he approaches, someone pops up into the window and he runs away. He runs and still ends up in front of the house. He closes his eyes and when he reopens them the house is gone, but Locke is there. Locke takes Hurley back to the group, and says he will help stop Jack from making the wrong decision.

Once they are all reunited, Jack sees Locke and tackles him. He takes Locke's gun and Locke says that Jack will not shoot him. Jack pulls the trigger only to find the gun to be empty.

Locke explains that the new group coming to the island is hostile and that they should all go to the Barracks, which the Others have abandoned. The people who join him are: Hurley, Claire and Aaron, Rousseau, Ben (who asks Jack if he can go with them since he is tied up and being led around by Rousseau, it was a funny moment), Alex, Karl, and Sawyer. As Sawyer walks away from the main group, Kate asks him what he is doing. He tells her that he is doing what he always does, survivin'. It is interesting to see the changed in Sawyer over the past few episodes.

Later, Kate and Jack sit at the front half of the plane, and the talk about how Jack was thinking about how it seems like so long ago since he, Kate, and Charlie came up here to find the pilot. They hear a helicopter and see a man parachute down. They meet the guy and as he takes off his helmet, he looks at Jack and says "Are you Jack?" I will have more on him in a bit.

Flashforward
The flashforward starts with Jack watching TV and pouring himself a drink, while the tv shows a police chase of a red camero. When the cops finally get the car stopped, the person gets out and it turns out to be Hurley. When they point their guns at him, he yells "I am one of the Oceanic Six."

Later, as the cop interrogates him, he says that his partner, Ana Lucia was on the flight and asks if Hurley knew her. Hurley lies and says that he did not. When the cop leaves, the room fills up with water, and we see a diver with "They Need You" written on his hand. Hurley screams for help and the cops comes in asking if Hurley is trying to get sent to a mental institution. Hurley says yes.

At the nut-hut, Hurley plays Connect Four and someone tells him that he has a visitor. The man says he is from Oceanic Airlines and that he wants to put Hurley in a better facility. Hurley asks to see his business card and the man says he forgot them. He then asks about "them" which causes Hurley to freak out.

Outside of the crazy place, Hurley is told that someone is watching him. He looks over and sees Charlie. He starts to freak out and Charlie slaps him. Charlie tells Hurley that he did not tell him he was going to die because he did not want Hurley to try and stop him. He then says "They Need You" which again causes Hurley to freak out and he closes his eyes and does the whole, "you're not there." He counts to five, Charlie sighs and disappears.

In the last flashforward, Hurley is shooting baskets and Jack comes in. He tells Hurley he just wanted to check on him (he also mentions he is thinking of growing a beard), but Hurley does not trust him. Hurley knows that Jack is there to make sure Hurley does not tell. Hurley then says that he should have went with Jack, not Locke. Also, that they should go back to the island. Jack says no and leaves.

Thoughts
-Daniel Faraday, the guy who comes to rescue them, does not look like a guy who is there on a rescue mission. He has a shirt and tie on.


-Who are the Oceanic Six? We know that Jack, Kate, and Hurley are three of them.
-Apparently Hurley thinks his group made the wrong decision, and I wonder what could possibly happen...
-Did anyone watch Eli Stone and see the commercial for Oceanic Airlines? I went to the website and then the other one, which is a game you can play that gives you more information. I will post more about it as I do more with it. Anyways, funny thing is, on the flyoceanicair.com site, you can download a press release and it has a phone number, which I called and got the message of the lady who signed it. I think if you figure out the password, then you probably get more information...

Anyways, let me know what you though of the show.
