The new MacIntel hardware was shown off yesterday and surprises of surprises, a new laptop that is not a updated iBook was revealed. Sadly, it was saddled with the lamest of lame names: MacBook Pro. That makes such a sexy piece of equipment sound like a dorky financial application.
I cried when I saw it though. It makes it all the more harder to get the dual PPC G5 desktop I so crave. Hmm. Can I have more Macs in my house than need?
Vote for my friend, Wyman’s, version of the Silent Hill movie poster. I got several emails from him today bugging me about it, so vote.
Check this video out. Supremely hilarious.http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/285267
Although too late to appear on my year end: list of the best of 2005, I caught some movies over the holidays. I therefore owe you some reviews. I wish I could write these but they will be short.
While some had seen this early in the season, we watched The Family Stone on New Year’s day. While Luke Wilson always is a pleasure to see in a film, this movie does not rest on his shoulders. It rests on Sarah Jessica Parker’s, and her skinny ass could not bring this one home. I lost interest when I could not believe that anyone could fall for her let alone someone her complete opposite. It was only a film.
3 of 5 stars.
To brighten up the holidays, I caught Munich the day after. I think the controversy over this one is uncalled for. Most likely the people complaining about the sympathy it evokes for the Palistinean cause never saw a frame of the film. Yes it does cast Israel in somewhat of a bad light, but only if you think that they should not have retaliated.
In fact, I thought Spielberg gave voice to the anger and made sure that revenge is something that is tolerable. I completely did not read the “war is bad” vibe into this. Maybe Eric Banna did not convey what needed to be conveyed about revenge very well. He was to transform into person who did not know where his morals went. I did not see it.
4 of 5 stars.
I also saw Harry Potter 4 again. I give it 4 of 5 stars on second go round.

Well, the conclusion of a year always brings about list making. I, for one, love to make lists. This one, unlike last year’s is shorter. It seems that my tastes were more discriminating. Or else movies sucked this past year.
I went through a lot of my previous posts for this so enjoy.
5 stars: NONE!!!
4 stars:
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Star Wars III Revenge of the Sith.
Wow! I also rated a lot more movies low. No wonder the movie box office receipts were off this year. Lots of sucky product was released. Hopefully, this year is better
Vincent Schiavelli R.I.P. Mr. Vargas.
Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Here we are on the day after Christmas. The Canadians call it Boxing Day. Whetever?!
Anyway, I hope that you’re Christmas went well and you got everything you need and some things you wanted.
My haul this year was great. I am typing on a Mac centric keyboard! I got some music I wanted, and a few books that were great. Overall, it was enjoyable. Hopefully, all the people that I had gotten stuff for are enjoying their presents. It was great to hang with the family. I must be another 5 lbs heavier. 200 here I come.
Just asking. Well do ya?
I have finished up the shopping for this year’s Christmas last night. The stores were not crowded at all. Okay. I just went to one store, because I had to get one last present, but it wasn’t nearly as crowded. On the other hand, on Wednesday I stopped by the mall. While it too wasn’t crowded, there were lots of people shopping still and I felt ill being there. Luckily, I needed only two presents of which I only bought one. Hence, Thursday I had to buy one last present.
Next time, I think I’ll try online shopping.
