OH! how cool is THAT?!?! i was signature number 33,200 on the Save Angel Petition!!

yes, i AM a geek. and damned proud of it, thank you. might not've ever been picked for either team on the basketball court but by god EVERYbody wants me on their team in trivial pursuit! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

the bible was a mis-draft. it was supposed to be the GEEKS shall inherit the earth... the GEEKS.

now, see THAT (save angel petition) is an intelligent idea... a geeky one but intelligent nonetheless. as proven in past entertainment history, write-in campaigns DO work. BUT we also see a great example of a stupid, inane, shit-for-brains petition - the "angel season six" petition. if you'd rather not waste your time on the link, i'll nutshell it for you - it says "The following signatures are to help show the entire cast and crew of the series that so many fans love the show dearly, and would sincerely appreciate if you all returned to continue the series with a new season. ".

da... wah... huh... ??!?!! uh... are people really signing this?? (yes, 4 thousand someodd so far... and i do mean odd.) cuz let's face it, first off... they know fans love the show. otherwise, they wouldn't have made it to five seasons. secondly, i think it's a given that if the show returns for a new season, the original cast will return... if they didn't... well, it's a safe bet they wouldn't call it angel....... there's plenty of time still left and nothing is written in stone at this point..... whedon apparently IS shopping angel season six to other networks. so basically, yer signin' this for wha??? to stroke your own quill, so to speak? just to drive that geek factor one nano further? hehehehe. i dunno... just kinda got under my skin for some odd reason. needed to shake it out. but no, really. angel rawks. trust me. great show, great writing, killer dialogue and a little more dramatic and adult than buffy was, thank you. (though the comedic flavor of buffy has much to offer too, grasshopper.) where the hell was i. shit.

/rant on

okay, i GOTTA scribble some notes here about my latest gripe - the oscars. or more specifically, the fact that the big RAGE this year is all the women who "should win" because they are "soooo beautiful but played such plain and ugly women" in the latest round of theatrical chick flicks. ohferchristssake, COME ON!!! what, they WERE beautiful (yea, everyone SAYS that, but who's REALLY seen julia roberts [who i think is one of the SINGLE ugliest women ALIVE] without ANY makeup??? i use her as an example because the world throbs for her. i guess somebody's gotta. somewhere.) and then they were made ugly and i'm supposed to be all amazed and stunned?? hmmm... methinks not. but i digress. (surprise.)

i am SOOO not impressed by charlize theron being turned into an ugly chick who gets off on killing. did NOBODY see lord of the rings???? or hell, ANY major mainstream horror or sci-fi/fantasy movie in the past DECADE?!?! a makeup artist or team can take one guy and make him look as if there isn't a chance in a million he was born without a million light-years of here and get NOTHING year after year from the "Academy" but charlize theron wakes up, doesn't put any makeup on and for that she'll probably get an oscar??? sigh. you wanna give a deserving award? give ray parks a supporting actor oscar for his performance as darth maul.... his acting was stunning, his choreography was ungodly and he didn't look a DAMNED thing like he really looks. or better yet, how about giving the best actor award to jim carrey for his appearance as the mask in the mask???? come ON! no matter WHAT you say, THAT was acting! the man is amazing..... not my favorite dramatic actor but some people just weren't born to do drama. i'd like to see charlize theron make me laugh on a consistent basis. again, mega-digressing. so yea. there. just needed to put that one down on virtual paper.

hot off the newswire!

A Clockwork Orange star Malcolm McDowell is still appalled by the completed version of his controversial 1979 movie Caligula - because he didn't expect it to become an epic porn film. The British movie star appeared onscreen alongside Helen Mirren, Peter O'Toole and Sir John Gielgud in what he hoped would be a film based on an excellent script by Gore Vidal. But Vidal insisted his name was removed from the credits when Penthouse boss and producer Bob Guccione put the film out two years after it was shot. McDowell recalls, "He shot all this hardcore footage two years after the film had been completed and then spliced it in. I mean, it was absurd, because the footage didn't even match much of the time. There would be a shot of me smiling, looking at what was supposed to be my horse or something, and then suddenly they'd cut to two lesbians making out. It was just awful. On the positive side, I got to work with Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud and Helen Mirren, but, needless to say, we were all pretty appalled by the final product."

and to this DAY, Caligula (the uncut director's version, thank you.) remains in my Top 25 Desert Island DVDs List. You know the ones... the movies that you would HAVE to have to survive if shipwrecked on a desert island quite by accident. Of course, this discourse also assumes you've been shipwrecked with at least a 55 inch anamorphic widescreen tv/monitor along with a full blown dolby digital 5.1 system and accompanying eternal power supply. yea, it's a lot to ask but i'm greedy. we are talking shipwrecked with no chance for rescue for at least ten years. (lotta rules/set variables in my little mental exercise, isn't there?) granted, the list floats from time to time with me but some things remain a constant. oh and another "rule" - any series of movies (i.e. batman, jurassic park, friday the 13th, etc counts as one movie. let's face facts - most sequels are just rehashes.) counts as just ONE slot on the list. Caligula would be in low twenties somewhere, i'm thinking. not quite as high as the hellraiser series (all six of 'em with two more on the way, baby!! WOO!) but it made the list. hellraiser easily enters the top five somewhere. so where is this leading.... no idea... just typing..... evil dead too.... that's in the top five... hell, that's in the top 3. what IS number one.... hmmm... gonna have to think about this long and hard.
