This commercial makes me want to get an Impala… Or sons who give a shit about me.
The Impala part is easier to control though.

Joseph A. Morello - “Take 5” Drum solo (1961) - Dave Brubeck Quartet
Joe Morello, one of my favorite drummers, passed away this Saturday at his home in New Jersey. He was 82. He was also the man.
I was actually listening to this album of Friday. Eerie…
R.I.P., Joe.

The Baader Meinhof Complex - 3 Stars (Potential for 4)
So, I had this film on my cue for a while, and finally decided to take a break from re-watching The Office (5 Starts) to give it a shot.
First Impressions: Johanna Wokalek is really hot.
Delving a bit deeper, I’ll say that this movie is successful as very subjective historical dramatization of the rise and fall of the RAF movement. As a “movie”, it’s so-so.
Pros: The acting is superb, and the dialogues are equally exquisite.
Cons: Unless you go into this with prior knowledge of the RAF movement and the political climate in which it emerged, then you’re left guessing and making up your own facts/assumptions as you go along. A very simple written introduction/set-up ala Star Wars would’ve gone a LONG way in combating this issue. Also, there is tons of information thrown at you and way too many characters of which to keep track. After a while, I stopped trying. I found it superfluous and unnecessary.
Redeeming factor: Johanna Wokalek’s lips. Tho it’s hard to stare at them when you’re trying to focus on the subtitles.
Final thoughts: I definitely recommend this film, but do a little research on the Red Army Faction before you watch it.

She said that?! That’s like… I can’t really think of an analogy right now, but it’s definitely like something!

This is very cool and all, but I’m still waiting for my Babel Fish…
There does, however, appear to be hope on the horizon!

HAHA… I’ll take a stab at this one.
John: Who the fuck do you think you are, dummer?!
Ringo: Well, I just thought…
George: He really shouldn’t be thinking, John.
I think that’s pretty close…

Rant
This whole “Liking” business is getting out of hand… It’s all over the web now, and it’s pretty much becoming a way of providing feedback with minimal cerebral exertion.
And where’s my “Dislike” button?
I think Facebook is trying to create a society full of positive nitwits.

Paraguay vs. Japan
- Hayden: Penalty kicks are so exciting!
- Greg: I almost killed myself. That was BS.
- Hayden: Latin America all the way, Mothafuckahhh...
- Greg: Fuck that shit, man. Get over your nationalism and respect the facts:
- Hayden: ...
- Greg: Paraguay's main exports are drugs and coffee. Japan has the PlayStation, sushi, robots, used panty vending machines, fuzzed-out hentai porn, samurais, kamikazes... They've got it all!
- Hayden: HAHA! Well played, sir. Well played... I mean, I think you're confusing Paraguay with Colombia, but that was pretty funny.
- Greg: I'm sorry if I offended you, bud, but if you read the CIA Handbook on Central/South America, you'll see what I'm talking about...
- Hayden: lol WTF? CIA Handbook?!
- Greg: Yeah, I wrote it.
