More Love For Craig Ferguson

I just want to throw my own examples of why I make sure to never miss The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Mike Norton provided a few choice ones the other day, but I don't think we should stop until we convince everyone to watch this show. Craig is the true King of Late Night!! You cannot argue this point... He loves puppets and he's not afraid to use 'em.














By the way, he has the best damn opening theme of any late night show....ever.





In case you have any interest at all...

I managed to avoid getting fired long enough to get the transfer I had asked for. This coming Thursday will be my last day on the third shift and then I will take Fri-Sun off for O.C.'s birthday weekend before starting the new shift.

All I can say is... Mark Haris can bite my ass!

In the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, Mark Harris frets and moans over the preview for 2012 and the orgy of mass-destruction that I enjoyed so much.

He wept for the millions of people who are dying, because what are they, in the grand scheme of things, but extras. Yes, it is a disaster movie of epic proportions and lots of unseen people die... I believe that is the definition of a disaster. The underlying thrill of the disaster movie (and horror) is that you are not one of those unlucky victims. Is that somehow immoral? I think not.

He goes on to bemoan the scene of the escape plane zipping between two parallel high-rise towers just seconds before those towers collapse into each other, presumably killing thousands of CGI flyspeck humans. OMFG!!! We can't show such a thing!! After 911, it is horribly inhuman to show such a thing in frivolous entertainments!

Bite me, Mark Harris. This movie is nothing but a thrill-ride of escapist entertainment much like the campy disaster flicks of the 70's. It is not a moral failing to derive enjoyment from such films. Tragedy strikes all over the world on a daily basis, but I don't think that should dictate what can or can't be included in books and films in deference to those that suffered and lost loved ones to such events. Most likely, they won't choose to see such films. Is it somehow insensitive that many do choose to see such films? Life is insensitive and it isn't about them or me for that matter it just is.

End of rant.

Annual Halloween PSA

It's time for the Lewis Black candy corn rant....

I will be in line on opening day...

This clip just about makes me wet my pants. I'm not sure I can make it through the whole movie...

I'm thinking maybe Depends are in order for this film.






This is like Irwin Allen on crack!!

Mental Meandering and Blithering

Work has been very stressful and tense for the last few months and I have been waiting for an opening on another shift. A spot has opened and I am supposed to be transferring... I got sent home tonight by the main reason for my current job dissatisfaction (for my bad attitude) and am not sure if I'm still employed or not. I will return to work tomorrow and see what my status is.

Enough of that stuff.

I want to apologize to Gordon for not telling him about the joy and wonder that is The Big Bang Theory. The reason for this lapse and the fact that it wasn't on my list of the best shows on TV, is that I don't watch it regularly. I came in late and had scheduling conflicts that kept me from recording it. Still, I loved the episodes that I did manage to see; so much that I have plans to buy the seasons on DVD.

Let me correct any oversights and slights to this fine show and tell everyone to WATCH IT!!! I also want to take time to tell everyone to check out How I Met Your Mother; it is another often missed but always loved sitcom from CBS.

Must go now and try not to think about my job insecurity.
