Just when you thought Iowa was a fun place

I found this on another Blog site & just had to share it with others. I think it might explain why so many Iowa-ians drive like they are blinded from glaucoma.

Carol King, damn fine I mean DAMN FINE!

I just got done watching CBS Sunday Morning, which for some reason I auto-wake even though I try to tape it.

They just had a spot on Carol King. For being 63 years young. And since she has been writing MAJOR HIT SONGS since she was 19. And now going back out on the road to tour her new show "The Living Room Tour", with a butt load of energy.

I WANNA PARTY WITH THAT GAL!

So what if she is 22 years older than me. I just want to be able to meet someone that I grew up listening to that is still alive & coherent to talk to about the stuff that has happened in life. And what keeps her going.

Do the loco-motion & feel the earth move under your feet,

Peter Sellers, respect 25 years later

OK. I know that some of my postings have been not so good. Some of them downright suck ass. But I have to do this.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of Peter Sellers death of a heart attack. And I lost the bet to a friend of mine between which was his last movie.

I still think, just out of respect, that " Being There" should be listed. It was very classy, made a point in a simple way, just plain fantastic photography, and is one of my top favorite films of all time.

But as it is. The POS movie " The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu", actually was his last film, which looked like a growing boil on a syphilitic groin.

So, as payment of the bet. I have to track down Goo, & pay off a case of . . . .

Think about it . . .


No, not that! You sicko's!




In the respect of the true Doctor Strangelove, and the others in the movie.


The payoff is a case of purified water. {It used to be $50 & a case of Heineken}


Buh, Bye, Keep your fluids pure, and your feet & hands inside the vehicle at all times during the ride.

Movie Reviews of 2005 #15 - The Devil's Rejects

WELL . . .

PREFACE: Shot very true to the "70's" film style down to the cheap whip-pans, & bad wipe transitions. And the film stock/processing visually, it looked like something shot mid to late 70's. Unfortunately the stylization carried over to the writing of a seventh grade football player struggling for a grade in English lit. class.

AND ON THAT NOTE . . .

I have to start this off by saying that I have not seen House of 1000 Corpses. And after seeing this movie, I might consider doing so. But if it was as poorly writen & directed as Devil's Rejects, I will wait until I find some copy of it lying in the street next to a dumpster & have someone else waste the time & power to play it on the TV.

YES, it is gory
YES, it is creepy
YES, you will see more titties, {and bush, not george}, in this movie than you have seen in the last year & a half on the 'big screen'
YES, if you are a fan of the "f-word", you will lose count almost immediately once the dialog starts.

NO, it is not a scary movie
NO, anyone under 27 should not be allowed - {seriously this should have been NC-17}
NO, this is not a date movie
NO, {voice of Mr. Horse from Ren & Stimpy}:
.
.
"Nope, Don't like it, Don't like it at all"
However I did actually like parts of it. There were a few scenes that were memorable, {at least for an hour after the movie}. And a ton of unexpected gore, blood, & new / improved ways of killing people.

But the only thing that sticks in my head is the opening scene in the woods. In order to not spoil it for those who get free passes. {trust me, wait until pay per view, & have someone else order it}, All I can say is:

I hope that they cleared that whole area of branches, sticks, & small twigs.

Blessed Be,
The Reverend Dr. S.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

I just wanted to wish my grandma Eileen Barnes a happy birthday. I found this photo that I took of her about {hrumphh ehh} years ago & thought I would tag it onto the blog.

For years she attempted to find a way of sending me chocolate chip cookies so that they would not get damaged in shipping. It didn't matter to me that much. The crumbs made for excellent ice cream topping. To this day I think she still carries an extra pack of Dentyne in her purse.

She is a women of unknown strength & knowledge. How she could manage to put up with our whole extended family through out the years, and still keep her head up is beyond me.

Once again:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA !

Love,
Jon

Hello Again everyone!! Good bye my favorite dog.

I just want to start off:

I FU<{ING HATE QWEST & AT&T !

That said . . .
I have not been able to update the site since I have not had a landline for the last 2.5-3 weeks. It started from my not wanting to pay the bill, I got it disconnected thinking I would be able to access the 'net from other places by leaching off a Wi-Fi restaurant while I went to & from work.
WELL all good intentions were shot down by my laptop battery going totally flatline, so I could not access from my car. The few times I have been able to pull a line anywhere I had other more pressing matters to deal with such as clearing out the over two-hundred emails in my several inboxes & trying to reply to the less than 15 messages that actually were legit.
So right now I am dealing with finding out my favorite "pet nephew" might be getting put to sleep tomorrow {Friday}. He is a big old Chocolate Lab named Bear.
When I first met him I was told that he would attack me if he saw me wearing a hat. Some of you know me & know that is a rare occasion to see from me. When I walked into the house the dog came after me & I just got on the floor & let him sniff me. His 2 then guardians about fainted when they saw the dog & I getting along so well & so fast. Supposedly he was mistreated &amp;amp;amp; all that, & did not like men at all. I proved that wrong. And have been one of very few people that were able to dog play & dog sit without him raising hell & being an absolute shit to.
I am trying to find a way to tell my good friend Steve the news. He also spent a lot of time with Bear as his caretaker, and more, and he should know what is happening.

So a note for any of you in "the willys group", I just ask:

PLEASE, LET ME BE THE ONE TO TELL HIM !!! Don't spill the beans by offering condolences, or anything unless he or I bring it up in conversation @ the bar. I know he had a strong tie to Bear, and stronger with Bear's current owner. Some of you know the story and understand what I am getting at so I would deeply appreciate cooperation on this.

On a lighter note. This sort of relates to my last post. I think I found Hopkin Green Frog. He has been kidnapped by scientists & turned into a robot.

<{ CLINK HERE }> Warning. This is REALLY odd

Reading in Fun-Demental, well 90% mental

The Gauntlet had been thrown to the dusty ground less than an hour ago. And I will take up the challenge.

Led has put out a quest of curiosity & such to the fact of since we are all computer geeks.

What the hell do we read of substance?

I will start digging & counting to answer the following questions:

1. Total number of books I own:
2. The last book I bought:
   
3. The last book I read:
4. Five books that mean a lot to me (in no particular order):

As long as crates can be concidered "cellular bookshelves", I should be ok.
Sidero, Jet Jr, Edgar and ds Have also been challenged. So this could be fun! Maybe ?

BUSH = WHY THE USA IS LAUGHED AT BY THE WORLD

I'm watching the press conference this morning with the {pseudo}leader of our nation.

With a leader of one of the most powerful nations in the world:

• You would expect less than 10-43 "ahh, umm, err, a-a-a," and various other pauses & stutters, per minute, indicating that he does not have a clue of what the hell he going to say next.
• You would expect this person to not contradict themselves not once, twice, but three times in answering just one question
• While reading names of the reporters off of an index card, be able to not fluff {mispronounce} three name in a row.
• He would realize that Iran is not North Korea, and the two countries are not interchangeable
• North Korea is not a person. {he referred to the whole country as 'him'}
• Does not understand the difference of disposal & experimentation of stem-cells. Thinking it is more ethical to throw them away than to utilize them for research of curing fatal diseases.
• Does not giggle to himself during the press conference after making a statement that obviously only he got the joke. {possibly too many mimosa's at breakfast?}
  
• The Dali Llama, Catholic Church, & the evangelical in China DOES NOT equate to religious freedom, thus begetting social freedom, then peace. Introducing three religious factions into a country that has a religious base that is more than DOUBLE of all three combined is just asking for bloodshed.
• Said leader should not "hop real soon" when closing moments arrive in the press conference.
• After stating that "both parties should work together", he should not state "I BELONG TO THE PARTY THAT IS LEADING . . .".
  
• He really should not be allowed to speak without a prompter, handler, or in ear monitor to feed him what he needs to say.

I honestly cannot believe this is who was selected to lead our country. {I voted for anyone but him}. This press conference was more than just embarrassing to me. This is what everyone else in the world will see on the local news & they are going to go.

"What a schmuck!"

The Movie was good, The People however..........

I know this will get back to the powers that be but.....

When people choose to:

Dress an eight year old girl, as a pregnant character of said movie, for a showing that is late enough that when the time the family unit {lack of better terms}, gets home is usually her wake-up call for breakfast & school.

HERE IS YOUR SIGN!

Go & see every available performance of said movie since the "midnight showing" last week, yet still want to talk his buddies to roll through the remaining three showings last night,

"just to see if we missed anything ...." {ED. NOTE this actually happened last night, & the guy was a [geek x10] last wednesday night, given the exponential expansion of six days, carry the two, & drop the factoring of reality. He might be more powerful than all of the jedi}. Yeah right.
Then again, he came close to getting a SEVERE BITCH SLAPPING last night.

He & his fellow jedi felt the power of the force when they tried to sneak into a different showing.

Mind you, if you decide to 'sneak into' a theatre, don't do it when it is sold out & try to grab someone else's seat two hours into the show.
The irony of it was that the showing they tried to crash, was at the point of rolling credits. And the seats belonged to to some guys that looked like humanoid shaved wookies that had to pee together. {don't ask, don't tell}.

And YET Again . . . . . . . . . . .. . . .

HERE IS YOUR SIGN!

At that point, you are dum. mor tan dum. coil into petal position as phast ewe kan & neigh for cod.

Breasted Brie, Dr. S.

P.S. The little {and big} freaks have decided to tear the new carpet in the theatres up. If any of you see this happening tell the staff. Or call me & I will get medieval on the jedi force.
I just spent over nine hours repairing the damage from these delusional "FANS". And I thought they would be {yeh right G}, a less destructive, I guess I was wrong. However, if you hear about plans to trash, it will pay out one drink/person @ willys. If you hear of someone trying to record one of the showings. I'll split the reward 60/40 with you. {good setup for a 'friend' you do not like}.

Those of you who know have an advantage, those of you who don't. . . . Buy an Illuminati a beer once and a while.

Blessed Be, Dr. S

Movie Reviews of 2005 #14 - Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Guess what I was doing this morning at 12:30. Give up?


We all got a bit of a surprise when we got to work yesterday, we had five prints {x7 equals 35 reels to assemble}, delivered to the theatre. So we had five separate theatres running dry runs this morning.

ANYWAY... Another WOW! movie. I would like to say it was better than the last one, but that like comparing Sith to an "Earnest goes to..." movie, yaknowwhatimean?

Visually stunning, awesome sound track & effects, and Yoda kicks massive ass. This is the best of the whole Star Wars movie saga. Everything makes sense now the story has come full circle.

I can't describe how good this movie is, and I absolutely do not want to soil your expectations by talking about the story. GO SEE THIS MOVIE, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

As for the theatre tonight, we have five showings:
12:01 - SOLD OUT
12:10 - SOLD OUT
12:20 - ALMOST S.O.
12:30
12:40
The 1st 2 showings are in our 2 largest theatres {#6 & #7 ~ 299 seats a piece}. The remaining 3 screenings are in #8 ~251 seats, #5 ~ 249 seats, and #4 ~ 194 seats. This totals to 1292 seats which is more than half of the whole complex of over 2400 seats, just for one film!

If you are going tonight, I'll be there @ 9pm to help with the crowds. Stop & say HI!. And if you see Jason, my boss wish him a happy birthday, {you can't miss him, he looks like a NFL linebacker}.

Blessed Be, & may the force be with you

Movie Reviews of 2005 #13 - Unleashed

If you are expecting an action packed kung-fu movie with no substance. This movie is not for you.

But Friday the 13th is a lucky day for people who want to see a great film. And as it is my 13th review, I'm going "Whoooooahh!"

Yes, in the first few minutes there is a fight scene that made all of us cringe. And not just from the visual action, but the sounds of pain were true enough to make my friends & I wince just from hearing the SFX. {sidebar, I think this is the best tracked movie in a long time for ADR & Foley effects for the realism alone}.

But Unleashed is an actual movie, complete with plot, characters you care about, characters you hate, and, yes, some bone breaking violence. BUT . . . It actually is a legit movie that blends everything together & carries you on through this guys life changes from "violent dog" to a "real semi-normal" person. And the sneaky thingthat they did. Those bastards actually make you realize the subplot that ran throughout the whole movie, was actually the primary storyline. And it makes sense. And it make the audience members feel good about what they have seen in the last 103 minutes.

And the end of the final fight scene is worth sitting through the movie just for.

Go see this movie. If you don't like it. . . You have problems, & need to go back on your meds.

Blessed Be, Dr. S.

Why I like FOX TV

As many of you know I follow the series 24 on Fox, and have done since it came on the air 4 years ago. I try to tape it every Monday @ 8 p.m. so that I can watch it when I get home from work the next morning, or be able to watch it again to pick up what I had missed when I watch it live.

WELL... Because my work schedule was funky & various other reasons I thought last night {Tuesday}, was Monday & set my VTR to roll & record the show. I got home this morning all set to find out what Jack & all those FBI & CTU people are doing to prevent terrorists from blowing up a nuclear warhead, thus making parts of our nation wasteland.

I popped the tape in, cued it up & saw the tail of American Idol. I HATE THAT SHOW! It has no talent in the way they showcase these people wanting to be famous. And the network doesn't' have to pay the poor schmucks that thought they have talent when they should not even be allowed to LOOK at a microphone. Again, thus making parts of our nation a wasteland of karioki.

OK, back on track . . . After ffw'ing past the smarm show I found House. Led told me about this show & how much he loved it, so I thought I would give it a try.

HOUSE RULES!!! Not that I doubted Led, far from that. But I laughed my ass off & had to spend an extensive amount of time finding it afterwards. {it fell between the bed & the wall & rolled under the headboard, and refused to be reattached, it fought hard to pull out from under there, but I finally grabbed my ass & put it in its place}.

All in all, the show is hilarious. I recommend watching it.

House's take on an upcoming date:
"Hey, way ahead of you. I got a case of malt liquor stashed in the trunk, Mr. Marvin Gaye on the CD. We are gunna get all the way down. . . "

Blessed Be, & don't forget that Sexual Feelin'

Movie Reviews of 2005 #12 - Kingdom of Heaven

When I first heard that we would be watching Kingdom of Heaven, I thought "what the F#$%?, another 2.5 hours of boring period crap set in the middle ages. Don't they know this shit has been done MANY SUCK-ASSED TIMES in just the last year?".

Boy, were we suprised. . .

The movie starts with several expositional scenes repleate with subtitles of time & location. So this got us up to speed of the where & when. We then find out the village blacksmith is actually the son of a VERY cool bishop on his way to the crusades to defend what is being slowly corroded by the religious zealots, and later carries on his fathers ways for peace.

Then the blood flows, gushes, spurts, & sprays in the first battle. This gave us all a good sign of what was to come. While takeing a break before the run there was a subcatagory of this movie needed to have at least three good fight/war scenes, and this is one of them. There were many to follow in the next 2 hours.

To go on more would ruin the story of good -vs- evil. But I will say the evil you see in the begining is not the true evil of this story.

In short: pee before the show starts, you will get lulled into thinking nothing will happen & you can sneak away. But you will miss something. And the eight reels that comprise this 145 min. film, (not inc. 15 min of trailers), will seem to go rather quickly, so cross your legs & don't think of waterfalls or dripping faucets.

1/2 soda, 1 smoke break {hence the warning about missing key points}

Blessed Be, Dr. Strangelove

A new world. A better world than has ever been seen. There you are not what you are born but what you have it in yourself to be. A kingdom of concious, peace instead of war, love instead of hate. That is what lies at the end of Crusade.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

I was painting a wall @ work at the:
