Did I Miss the Memo?

So with the release of "Monsters vs. Aliens", it seems that the reemergence of 3-D movies is in full swing. While I was surfing the web, I came across an advertisement while waiting for a page to load. The advertisement was for a movie coming out called "The Battle for Terra." The big thing about this film is that it is presented in 3-D. What I'm curious about is when did 3-D become so popular or in demand all of a sudden? 3-D was popular when it was introduced in the early 1950s. Hell! They even named a character in Back to the Future after 3-D technology.


Take a good look at the above picture... See that gentleman in the middle towards the background? Yes, that is Billy Zane and you can tell by the scowl on his face that even he is disapproving of those ridiculous 3-D glasses.

Do people really want to pay $11.50 for a movie that they have to watch through a pair of flimsy cardboard glasses? Well they are more than welcome to do so, but as for me, I'm all set to watch my cinema in good ol' 2 dimensional formatting.

Fan Videos

So Bjorn had us watching a few different videos last week. On of which was a couple of star wars fan videos. After talking with some of the other students in class by other students I just mean Trevor), we agreed that most of them were unsatisfactory. So I decided that I didn't want to settle for mediocrity, so I found a few of my own.

Watch Hot Chick Lightsaber Fight and more funny videos on CollegeHumor

yes they're mostly lightsaber duels, but what else would be more interesting?

Home Opener

So tomorrow (Tuesday 4/7) is the Red Sox home opener. Most people in Massachusetts can't wait for the first pitch but what most people in Massachusetts seemed to over look was the home opener that occurred in its most glorious form this past Saturday. The New England Revolution took to the pitch and came out with a 2-1 win! As I sat in the stand on that chilly, windy evening, I couldn't help but think that I have never been so captivated by any game because each pass and each play being set up was so suspensful waiting to see if it would result in a goal. I find it unfortunate that one of the most successful New England teams, aside from the Patriots, are view by less that five to six thousand people. They have been to the MLS Cup 4 times in the last 7 years (although never won). I never understood how the world's most popular sport as well as the largest youth sport in America is one of the least popular sports in the USA.

With the World Cup in South Africa next year approaching quickly, most of the world will be focusing on the qualifying games coming up. Personally, I cheer on Germany in every international competition and I hope to see them take the cup home in 2010. The next best thing though would be to see USA win the World Cup, solidifying our country as a force to be reckoned with on the field.

Which team will you be watching in the 2010 World Cup?

All Minx'd Up

So Kenny Minks, I promised I would write a blog about you so here it is... I never promised it would be good though hahaha!!

So I think Kenny looks like Jay Baruchel (that guy from Knocked Up with the maple leaf tatoo).

If you're a Bridgewater State College student and you don't know who Kenneth "Perrybottom" Minks, then you must live under a rock because Mr. Minks or "Minx" (which is his pseudonym of choice) is freaking everywhere at once.

Kenny this one goes out to you solely because I think you would find this shit hilarious...

Write on the comment's page if you have any good "Minx Tales"



Kenny's middle name isn't Perrybottom, but I would bet that it's something goofy like that.

April Fools? F*** Off

I don't know why this irritates me so much... but it does. I felt compelled to write this blog after going to three different sites in a row and each of them had April Fool's Day pages up. Now don't get me wrong, I like the occasional practical joke from time to time, but I go to certain websites to get informed about... stuff. Why must every jackass web designer think they're being so original with April Fool's Day pages when I just want to know what happening. What happened to thumbtacks on chairs, fake vomit, or whoopie cushions? I just find it very irritating. I'm most likely being irrational with this rant and that's fine if you don't agree (I probably wouldn't either).

Jesus, sometime I'd rather be Rick Roll'd rather than look at an god forsaken April Fools page.




Ahh the internet... yet another medium for April Fool's pranks!
