I need a ticket to Philly, ASAP
« on: July 09, 2008, 04:52:58 pm »
Alyssa Milano to promote new Phillies women's fashion collection at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday

Quote
On Thursday, July 10, actress Alyssa Milano will be at the Majestic Clubhouse Store at Citizens Bank Park to promote her new licensed women's fashion collection - TOUCH by Alyssa Milano.

Any fan who purchases a piece of TOUCH product from the collection will get the chance to meet Alyssa and receive a free autographed gift from her. The meet and greet will take place from 12:15-1:15 p.m. (before the 1:05 p.m. Phillies game against the St. Louis Cardinals).

Alyssa is fine and all, but not worth flying to Philly for. Now, Megan Fox....

Of course, you are making the very bold assumption that Michael Bay's directing skills go beyond that.

Here's a challenge: try to figure out what the fuck is going on in any of the fight scenes in Transformers.  I think the direction was "shake the camera real fast, we'll get the nerds to put in robots doing cool shit later."

At least Transformers was 2/3rds of a good movie.  He's getting better.  Also, no Ben Affleck.

To be fair, does Megan Fox need more direction than, "Your boobs.  Make sure we can see them.  Sweat more."

I think you mean "2/3rds of a movie that I wouldn't turn off if it was on 20 Vision on Sunday morning and I was nursing a hangover."  NTTAWT, that's an admirable goal to shoot for for Michael Bay.

Megan Fox looks like a stripper to me.  Fake orange tan, greasy skin, and chipmunk teeth.  I mean, sure, I'd get a lap dance, but she's not in Alyssa's league.

I would stay away from the topic of teeth when comparing Megan to the gum queen. Plus, drop the "n" from her first name and you get Mega Fox. How cool is that?

Hey, I didn't say she was ugly.  But, honestly, you will find better looking women working at your local gentleman's club.  Without the towel, and without erection-killer Shia LeBouf.

Speaking of Shia, is it just me but was he the lamest pick ever to play Indiana Jone's son?  His try at being the Marlon Brando in the film was just hillarious.  IMHO, Shia killed whatever they thought was a good idea for a fourth Indy movie with his appearance.  He was miscast, he should be in the next Woody Allen movie typecast as his son, not Indiana Jones!

I admit, I took a few seconds on Megan and then quickly started to look at the books on the shelves to see if any of them would interest me.  Is there something wrong with me?

I'm sure the wonderfully talented Hayden Christiansen was their first choice. Honestly, LeBuf was dopey but I thought all the CGI-driven, relentless, goofy, video-game-style action killed what was a fine Indiana Jones movie for the first hour or so.

Then let's dub it, Earth-JackAstro!  A dystopian world of conformity that mirrors our own in every way....except! Planetary Governorator JackAstro rules with an iron fist.  Those who dare acknowledge Megan Fox's complete unremarkability in her role as yet-another-Hollywood-babe-du-jour are immediately and violently dispatched with a deadly laser from JackAstro's magic gauntlet-thingie!

That would've been my second biggest criticism of the movie.  My 14 year old and I went together, a father/son bonding moment.  I of the age of the original Indy movies, he of the new genre.  When all the CGI started to happen (nuclear blast), I cringed while my son went "WOW! COOL!".  I had to think for a moment and ask myself "Self, is it wrong for me to start telling my son right then and there... THIS IS NOT INDIANA JONES!!!!"... self answered and said "STFU!".

The last scene was too much and I think my son saw it in my face that I was not pleased.  But he knows me well enough to say to himself "Self... Dad is an old fart who will soon be yelling at kids to get off his lawn!".

He's right, but I hate the CGI in the new Indy movie with a passion.

That's it, you're off my fucking world, if only because we have wildly differing definitions of the word unremarkable.

That particular scene (again, I watched with my then 13 year old as a father/son bonding moment and absolutely thought the entire movie was boring while son thought it was an instant classic) is everyman's fantasy.  Knight in shining armor type of stuff.  Hot chick stranded, I come along, rescue young damsel and she proceeds to take off clothes in a show of gratitude.  I then forget what I'm supposed to do next because that is when either the bell rings for next period or the alarm goes off and I'm late for work again.

I actually did rescue a damsel in a similar moment once.  My cousin and I were going to Corpus Christi early one morning for a weekend with friends.  We decided to leave early Saturday morning, around 4 in the morning.  As we were driving down I-45 towards downtown, we noticed this mini-skirt wearing young lady walking away from her car parked on the side of the highway.  We stopped as did about five other cars.  We backed up quicker than anyone else and I instructed my cousin to stick his head out of the car window and let her know that 1) we weren't going to hurt her, we were good guys and 2) what is the problem and do you need help!.  She looked at my cousin and then noticed me and she smiled.  I guess we were goofy enough looking teenagers that we couldn't possibly be anything but a couple of well intentioned hormone driven but harmless teens (don't try this today, I can't vouch for the same thing happening nowadays).

We parked, walked back to her car with her and she points to a flat rear tire.  "It's flat" says my cousin.  (What she said next is the honest truth) "Only on the bottom" she says.  I try hard not to laugh out loud and suspect that maybe 1) she's kidding or 2) she's drunk or 3) she's dumb.  I went with she's kidding because she was hot and that's the way a teenager thinks.  We proceed to change her tire in record time, emulating the best Indy 500 pit crew ever made.  We did this in a coordinated fashion, never missing a beat between us.  Fixed!  Then we noticed that the spare tire we put on her car was very low and extremely bald looking.  "Ahum, you better get to a gas station or something because you may not make it home" said I.  "I live in Deer Park, you don't think I'll make it?" she asks.  "We better follow you home just in case" (this was going in the opposite direction of where we intended to head as soon as we made a connection with I-59), so we did and got her home safe and sound from her night out of clubbing and doing whatever.

And she gave each one of us a kiss (no tongue).  For a teenager, a goofy one, it was a memorable moment.  Screw you all!

I was staying at my sister's when she and her husband (who also was fond of the originals) took my 9 year-old nephew to see it. When they got home, I said to my frowning brother-in-law, "so, what'd you think?" but before he could utter a single criticism, my sister jumped in and said "hey! You two are not allowed to have this discussion in front of us!" My nephew of course loved it, and my sister I think feels like she's had to sit through much worse movies for the sake of her kids.

Which brings me to what I thought about "WALL-E".  Oh deere lowered, was that the absolute worse movie ever!?!?  Yes, it was!  And my two sons went crazy over it while both my wife and I left the theater depressed and angry all at the same time (movie theme was depressing, cost for said movie atrocity was what made me angry, I should've waited for the DVD to come out instead!).  In Pixar movies of the past, they threw enough in each movie to hold the attention of parents as well as children (Toy Story, The Invincibles, Cars).  This one has no redemption for adults whatsoever.  It is a 3-D Pixar Al Gore commercial for kids and parents be damned, you're going to freaking sit through it and like it!  Because these kids are going to get this message and you old people are the ones who screwed up this planet and they are going to clean it up before it gets really bad!  I have not been disappointed in a movie since "Happy Feet" which was another political statement wrapped around a "children's movie" packaging.

Screw that, it's a two hour kid-based documentary that manages to bore me to tears and forgets that they can at least be mildly entertaining if they just freaking try to!

Yeah, I thought Wall-E was pretty dull too.  Between that, Prince Caspian, and Indiana Jones, I've seen way too many kids movies lately.  You know it's getting bad when you've memorized all the trailers for those horrible kids movies that are coming soon!  Especially that chihuahua movie, who greenlighted that, Paris Hilton?

My grown daughter dragged me to see "The Happening" last weekend.

I may never forgive her.

We also saw "Hancock", which had a surprise plot twist but wasn't anything to write home about either.

Yeah, I thought Wall-E was pretty dull too. 

I agree.  I wondered why it got such good ratings ... until I realized that critics like any movie that legitimizes global warming, especially one that says the planet will be deserted by the end of the century.

Which brings me to what I thought about "WALL-E".  Oh deere lowered, was that the absolute worse movie ever!?!?  Yes, it was!  And my two sons went crazy over it while both my wife and I left the theater depressed and angry all at the same time (movie theme was depressing, cost for said movie atrocity was what made me angry, I should've waited for the DVD to come out instead!).  In Pixar movies of the past, they threw enough in each movie to hold the attention of parents as well as children (Toy Story, The Invincibles, Cars).  This one has no redemption for adults whatsoever.  It is a 3-D Pixar Al Gore commercial for kids and parents be damned, you're going to freaking sit through it and like it!  Because these kids are going to get this message and you old people are the ones who screwed up this planet and they are going to clean it up before it gets really bad!  I have not been disappointed in a movie since "Happy Feet" which was another political statement wrapped around a "children's movie" packaging.

Screw that, it's a two hour kid-based documentary that manages to bore me to tears and forgets that they can at least be mildly entertaining if they just freaking try to!


wait
just googled wall-e
one question:
what characters are
jackastro steve guttenberg
and ally sheedy playing in this movie?
..because chickens are decent people.

That chihuahua movie looks like the most horrible fuckin abomination to come out in my lifetime.

Yeah, pretty much the same reaction here and thankfully from two sons too!  The movie they all went to see without me is Get Smart.  I thought it looked cheesy and not worth paying movie prices to go see.

Yeah, I thought Wall-E was pretty dull too.  Between that, Prince Caspian, and Indiana Jones, I've seen way too many kids movies lately.  You know it's getting bad when you've memorized all the trailers for those horrible kids movies that are coming soon!  Especially that chihuahua movie, who greenlighted that, Paris Hilton?


Wall-E???  Indiana Jones???  The Happening????  Prince Caspian???  Chihuauhuas???

Fuck these chick flicks.  Hasn't anyone seen Wanted?

I'd like to see Hellboy today, but I'm not sure I can sit still in those seats for that long anymore. That, and The Dark Knight next Friday (but no way I'll see the Batman flick... probably be in the hospital).

"Wanted" was a good popcorn movie, but about as believable as Wall-E.

Yeah, it was dumb.  Needed less of the schlub who was unconvincing as an assassin and more of Terence Stamp.  Also, Randy Johnson should have been the guy to teach said schlub how to throw bullets like a slider.

I just saw the trailer for this.  I can't believe a single frame of this was ever approved.

I was dumbfounded. When you see train-wrecks like this, it makes you sit back and wonder how people that could make decisions like that could possibly rise to positions of power. I really don't understand it.

Ever since watching Planet Terror, I've moved on from Alyssa to her sister Rose McGowan though that thing she had with Marilyn Manson creeps me out a bit.
