Google Image Search

broderic on January 28, 2012

Google is freaking me out. Lately, most of the random visitors here are reaching via Google Image Search. It’s bumped up my stats slightly at the expense of making the search terms more weird and more focused on cute asian girls. The images of Nozomi, Kim Ha Yul or some other such cutie are getting pushed to the front of the image search results. Dang it’s weird. Here’s today’s search terms.

But not that much…

From the same wanker who brought us The Bell Curve. It’s all non-sense. Each of the questions on the quiz makes tons of assumptions. You should try it. And have a good laugh.

C.R.E.A.M.

C.R.E.A.M.

Take a look at this $5 bill. It’s from 1963. That’s almost fifty years old. Should I spend it or keep it? It’s like those $2 bills you occasionally get. They’re so strange that you have to hold onto it for a bit, and eventually, you don’t know if you’ll ever spend it. I’ve been holding onto this bill for a week. I may hold onto it longer. I like how it’s red rather than the standard green. That’s what made me notice that this bill is different.

The Iron Lady

The Iron Lady isn’t a sequel to Iron Man. I think I would’ve liked it better if it did feature Margaret Thatcher in an iron suit taking on the Argentinians in the Falkland War. That sounds more entertaining than what this movie ended up being.

Meryl Streep channels Maggie Thatcher. Except at times I was waiting for her to break character and channel Julia Child. It could’ve been a very good movie if I couldn’t tell which character she was playing. The young actress, Alexandra Roach, had the thankless task of playing the young Maggie Thatcher. People will talk about Streep. They should talk a little more about Roach. She won’t get any mention, but Streep will get a nomination. No idea why.

The problem with this film is that it didn’t give an idea of why Thatcher became who she was. Her dad was conservative. Did she get it from her dad? Why? Which part? No idea why she decided things. She just became Maggie Thatcher. The film also doesn’t touch on why she was the leader for that time. What did she do to make England better? The Falkland War? No idea. The film misses out on why she lost the backing of her party. Was she driven? Did she drive too hard? No idea.

At some point, we should understand who Margaret Thatcher was. It was Meryl Streep and that is all I got from the movie.

2 of 5 stars.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

broderic on January 19, 2012

I’ve never been so on edge during a movie that had barely any action than I was during Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It’s a straight up action flick with no action, and yet surprisingly it will have you on the edge of your seat. It reminds me of the 1970s action with no action flicks which is fitting considering its setting, London in the early 70s.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy starts very opaque, fragmented, and hard to follow. The facts as they were: there’s a mole in the British spy agency and it’s up to Gary Oldman to find him. Oldman was retired from the agency because of his mentor’s screw up in his first attempt to find the mole. As his investigation proceeds, it all starts to make sense and the mole gets flushed out. If you don’t see it, you already know who it is.

I liked this movie. So far it’s been nothing but good films this year. Of course this is only the second one.
