How much more can they squeeze from this franchise? The first one was very good. The second, average. The third, teh suck. I only reluctantly saw it, knowing full well that it would be terrible. The wife is a sucker for dinosaur movies, and I think it was a hot day.

Speaking of hot, Keira Knightley is in JP4 and she is fine (for a skinny bitch). Still that won’t save it. What can they do? In order to keep it sciencey, they won’t do something cool like zombie triceratops. I imagine we should expect the same drivel. “We discovered the super-secret Site D and this one has a dino that’s bigger than the one who took on the T-Rex in JP3. It has 5 legs , some wings, a flipper, and two Y chromosomes. Everything we knew about dinosaurs is totally wrong… again.”

Someone took a bunch of screen caps of a pirated DVD of Star Wars: Episode III. The translation was English >> Chinese >> English. There’s shit in there about elephants, the Milky Way and the Presbyterian Church.

Got my hands on an MF Doom mask. This should guarantee tenure.

If you like The Avalanches, iFilm has their video for “Frontier Psychiatrist”. It’s a bit weird, the song is fantastic.

I see this consistently on ebay and wonder how it is…apparently Ricky Gervais is quite a good standup comedian. Love that cover pic.

Dumb but funny video from the Bloodhound Gang. Features such sexual metaphors as:

– “marinade the nether rod in the squish mitten” (my fav)
– “Vulcanize the whoopee stick in the ham wallet”
– “cattle prod the oyster ditch with the lap rocket”

Mostly work safe just a lot of innuendo.

In college I never thought this…

would become a movie. Are there any good movies that began as video games? I heard Resident Evil was OK (and looking at Michele Rodriguez isn’t hard).

This site has it that Kevin Smith is doing a sequel to Clerks… The Passion of the Clerks:

The sequel picks up 10 years later. “It’s about what happens when that lazy, 20-something malaise lasts into your 30s. Those dudes are kind of still mired, not in that same exact situation, but in a place where it’s time to actually grow up and do something more than just sit around and dissect pop culture and talk about sex,” Smith said during an interview at his Hollywood office. “It’s: What happened to these dudes?”

I liked Clerks as much as the next person, but I don’t feel particularly invested in any of the characters. Take away the dialog of pop culture and sex? What’s left? The discussion of snowballing helped keep the first one afloat.
