The Manchurian Candidate

this one is now off the list of movies I haven’t seen, it was number 64 on imdb’s top 250

I thought because Frank Sinatra was in the movie a lot of older people over rated it and I didn’t think it was going to be entertaining. I was wrong. It wasn’t like some old campy Elvis Presley movie: i.e. Frank Sinatra didn’t have to sing to get the part and can act.

Parts of it were fairly predictable, but not a totally predictable movie. Suspenseful…yes, some parts were laughable, like how easy Frank Sinatra’s character picked up a woman. Not that Frank had any trouble picking up women, but I don’t think his character in the movie would have had it that easy, the woman came on strong to him the first time they met.

Living below the average

I found a site with some interesting demographics about Eudora, KS

• Median household value below state average.
• Black race population percentage significantly below state average. ( it is so white here )
• Hispanic race population percentage below state average.
• Median age below state average.
• Foreign-born population percentage significantly below state average.
• Length of stay since moving in below state average.
• House age below state average.
• Percentage of population with a bachelor’s degree or higher below state average. ( no surprise here )

other stats missing

It’s probably below the state average in number of convince stores ( 2 )
And significantly below the state average of number of liquor stores ( because there isn’t one )
They should have checked the number of churches per capita ( 9 churches )…I’m sure its way above the state average

kill bill – review

good movie – but not a great movie
its no pulp fiction, but then again what is?

there was a lot of talk about how violent the movie is, and it is, but its made to be kinda campy( blood gushing out of what looks like a garden sprinkler ) that it doesn’t seem that gory

lota style – cool cinematography
all in all I had fun watching this movie

Invasion of the penis snatchers

This story is just too gd weird

It’s about a guy who was beaten to death because he was stealing penises through sorcery. I mean what the hell is up with these people? How did this shit come about? Was some guy trying to explain the size of his penis and came up with an evil wizard stole his manhood? Most guys would probably just say something like “God Damn its cold in here” or just turn off the lights.

SMARTSHADER™ Effects really caught my attention

The introduction of SMARTSHADER™ Effects, a feature that delivers high-end shader effects to older games that lack this functionality. Gamers can now experience their favorite games in a totally new visual environment with stunning new shaders such as Inverse-Color, Sketch, Stylized Black & White and ASCII

the omega version is already out too

gameboy on your cell phone Goboy

we were just talking about this last night

I was saying Nintendo should license the gameboy to a cell phone manufacturer

but no need, there is a gameboy emulator for Nokia 3650 and 7650 phones

techtv has an article about the goboy

the Nokia 7650 isn’t available here in the US, but I would love to have one of these phones

Im pretty sure the Nokia 3600 is the same as the 3650, the only difference being the 3650 doesn’t support 850 MHz band ( Cingular has the 3600 hint hint )

and Commodore 64 Emulator for Nokia 3650
