Various stuff

Various stuff I didn't feel like making individual topics for:

First off, I need to talk about this guy:

Lance

I'll probably get run out of town on a rail for saying this but God Damm I'm sick of Lance Armstrong. I don't have anything against Lance per se, I'm just sick of hearing his name and hearing him whore for everything from used cars to health spas. The guy rides a bike for a living, he's not working on a cure for cancer. I got nothing against a guy making a living and I would sure take the money he gets but the concept of over exposure seems to be lost on the marketing types these days. Enough of that...

I saw this movie on Sunday:

Be Cool

It's predecessor, Get Shorty, was less than spectacular so I wasn't expecting much. I even took some grief from the family for getting it but hey, that's what Netflix is all about, get a movie you don't want to pay for and if you don't like it, stick it back in the sleeve and move on. Even though the original movie left a lot to be desired, John Travolta's character was an interesting guy and I've got a real thing for Uma Thurman so decided to take a chance.

That being said, we all loved this movie. The story is a bit disjointed but the characters are hilarious. Vince Vaughn is great as usual but The Rock steals the show. Chili Palmer is really the only character from the previous movie, Rene Russo is no where to be seen and Danny Devito has about 10 seconds of screen time so don't expect a real sequel. Anyway, highly recommended for a lot of good laughs.
