Best lines (which is all of them) from that great 90s sitcom
Watching School Rumble reminds me of the NewsRadio quote, “Because I’m neither Japanese, 14 years old, or a girl.” Bill says this to Matthew thanking him for the Hello Kitty! school bag in his own acidic way. I am not Japanese, or 14 years, and I’m not a girl, but School Rumble is fun in a way that makes me feel like that. I’ve got the first two DVDs and am now eager to see the rest.
If my ramblings do convince you to watch it, catch a few episodes here.
My Google hits just keep coming. In fact, BrowserMetrics is starting to get decent traffic from there. Lots of interesting search results. Here’s the most recent:

imdb general macarthur pt boats — They must be searching for “They were expendable.”

That’s a lot of nonsense.
Need to get at least one last post to close out, NewsRadio Quote month.
I did watch plenty of NewsRadio episodes, especially from the final season. I saw the final episode which had Dave stuck with Matthew at WNYX and the rest of the gang off to New Hampshire with Jimmy James. Oh what adventures a season six would’ve brought. Unfortunately, it ended.
I wonder if they ever jumped the shark. Maybe, but you can’t make up for it when you lose the linchpin that was Bill McNeal. Sad. But life goes on.
NewsRadio. The best comedy of the nineties.
I saw the trailer to this movie before 3:10 to Yuma. I turned to the Seed and said, “I’m conflicted. I really want to see Jessica Alba, but that Dane Cook gets on my nerves.”
And he does.
There’s been some speculation about why the trend in romantic comedies is to make the man a shlub and woman a hot girly-girl. It’s an interesting idea where the girl has to be hot but is reaching for someone low. What world is it that a shmoe like Dan Cook can get a hottie like Jessica Alba? Would it be a spoiler if I told you he wins her heart in the end?
Dan Cook lives a fantasy life where he gets to bed girls who’ll not want to cuddle. He’s the fuck that’ll get the girl to her true love. The girls have to kiss a frog before they find their prince.
Jessica Alba is the one, goofy and cute. She’s enough to make Dane Cook want to hop off the f-train and onto the r-train, a real relationship.
There’s some laugh out loud moments especially with grape fruits. It’s light like a candy bar snack, but it isn’t good for you. You’ll also experience regrets for choosing it. I wanted to watch this movie, because of Jessica Alba. After watching this movie (and Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer), I may not be so quick to buy a ticket to her next endeavor. If it’s got Dan Cook in it, I’m confident I won’t.
2 of 5 stars.
PS. Why does it seem as if Dane Cook’s face is composed of 1/3 above his nose, 1/3 below his upper lips and 1/3 of the space between his nose and lips? He’s got to be disproportionated in the face region there.
Hotel Chevalier. Free download on iTunes. For all you Wes Anderson fans. Yes. You know who you are.
D-War or Dragon Wars or whatever?!
Lookit, the stars have aligned and it seems my NewsRadio quote matches something I want to blog about. Hooray!
Anywhoo.
D-Wars is the movie that Uwe Bolle wants to make. Pretentious, but bad. Really. Really. Bad. I know that I say don’t follow what other reviewers are saying, but in this case I saw it and it is bad.
First, the actors. I don’t know who the actors are that inhabit the main characters, but I hope that they can still find some work in Tinseltown. If not, there’s always Vancouver. It’s not that they are terrible, but I assume the Korean language barrier made it difficult for them to know what was to be conveyed in a scene so they acted like they were baffled. Certainly seemed to be the case.
Another baffling things is continuity. I joke about Vancouver, but they leading lady was supposedly 19, almost 20, but her friend takes her to a bar to drown her sorrows. Is the drinking age 18 in Canada? Are they even in the US? Wasn’t this supposed to be taking place in LA?
The final showdown took place in Mordor. Suddenly everyone was there. How did they get there? Where is there? Hunh? And tell me, after vanquishing the evil dragon, how is the hero going to get back?
Too many questions.
At least the fight over LA was kind of neat. Kind of. Really.

All story short, it’s a western. Like all westerns, there’s the good guy as portrayed by Christian Bale who must make his son believe that he is a man. And there’s the bad guy, Russell Crowe, being as charming and benevolent as evil can be to lure Christian Bale’s son to the dark side.
Is it an allegory of growing up and admiring your pa? Or is it one about the goodness in us all?
It’s set up to be just the good guy delivering the bad guy to the train station to be taken to jail. That is all.
Not bad. It’s hard to say that the bad guy (and his henchmen) who so remorseless kills people can have the change of heart he experiences in the last 10 minutes of the film. Other than that it was a nice, neat little oater that brings back the western genre of cowboys, indians, horses, cattle and ranches to the cinema screen. Not the best of the genre just another of its films that comprise the American experience.
Amazon has released their online music store. MP3s for $0.89. Whole albums for as low as $5.00.
Apple should be worried.
No pernicious DRM to keep you from moving the files to and from wherever. Works with the iPod. And cheaper too.
They even have a download manager that’ll copy it to iTunes for you.
Competition has just arrived.
The Seed gets a Mac Mini hoping to get his mom all excited about the future.
Good luck to that.
I doubt that Tita Mina will ever want to get the hang of computers. Why should she? She’s got The Seed in the basement to do that for her.
My mom is almost computer savvy. She can do email, and surf the web. But get her to do something like post her pictures online and that won’t happen. She knows about computers. She’ll only know as much as needed. She doesn’t even know the difference of quitting a program and closing a window. She lives in the Windows world. O, well, at least she’s online.
Know if only I wasn’t tech support.
