Sorry for the lateness; I went to a late viewing of Inception last night. On the plus side, I dreamt that a Big Freight Train leveled Wrigley Field!

ETA: Fuck the Cubs

So, the shit on the bottom of my feet is Zambrano balls?

**********

a little e.e. cummings in the night, inspired by your preview

flotsam and jetsam
are gentlemen poeds
urseappeal netsam
our spinsters and coeds)

thoroughly bretish
they scout the inhuman
itarian fetish
that man isn't wuman

vive the millenni
um three cheers for labor
give all things to enni
one bugger thy nabor

(neck and senecktie
are gentlemen ppoyds
even whose recktie
are covered by lloyd's


********

Nice preview, Craig.  Not enough "fucks" in there, though.  Your FPSP (Fucks Per Sentence Percentage) is getting down near replacement level.  Better make adjustments.

I'm in love with rock and roll and I'll be out all night.

Speaking of giant turds emanating from Yellowstone, I sat through "2012" this weekend.

While the entire thing is some of the silliest nonsense ever to be put on celluloid, one thing stood out for me: do they know nothing about aerodynamics?  When a plane takes off, especially one that can retract its undercarriage even partially, it loses a shitload of drag and speeds up.  It also climbs naturally so, even when being chased by (yet another) galloping earthquake, the moment you leave the ground you speed up and climb.

That shit irritated me much more than the rest of the film that was pretty much a three-hour facepalm.

Oh!  Oh!  And when you're running out of fuel, you dump all those fucking cars in the hold!  Especially a 2-ton Bentley!

Awesome.  Great one Craig.
Don't think twice, it's alright.

Yeah, because THOSE were the big scientific problems in that movie.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

I read that the director of 2012, Roland Emmerich (he of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow) decided this would be his final disaster flick, and so he threw every possible disaster into this one. He succeeded on that front.

I hear ya.  I just focused on those because everything else was fantasy but aerodynamics is real.  The movie, as a whole, was horrible and Cusak should be ashamed of himself.

Maybe Hari Seldon will use psychohistory to prevent it from happening.

At least he's nowhere near the Hyperion adaptation.

Yeah, but then he made 'Hot Tub Time Machine.'  That's a better penance than 10,000 Hail Marys!

If Craig Robinson is in a movie, I'm going to fucking see it.  He's the funniest man in the movies today.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Kind of like watching an 60 minutes+ of scenes in Die Hard 2 where the actors looking for a way to communicate with the planes in a holding pattern around the airport when there were hundreds of planes in hangers, at FBOs, on the tarmac, etc. (as there are at any major airport) that each had radios in them. Not to mention the countless pilots hanging around an FBO at any given time with back-up handheld radios in their flight bags.  That, and the rest of the movie did not nearly suck ass as bad as the entirety of 2012 did...

I saw him do standup a month or so ago.  He's quite funny.
