Congrads, Kanye!

The day after the Grammy's is usually a pretty great day for Grammy winners on Amazon.

Herbie Hancock had the #1 selling album on Feb. 11, 2008

Kanye's album was #49. Not so great, Kanye. Actually not good. It did raise to #44 on Feb. 13th..... right behind Nancy LaMott 'Ask Me Again'(?!?!)

New quotes by Kanye since then.

"George Bush doesn't care about black people.... but loves Nancy LaMott."

“My biggest inspiration and biggest competition is Nancy LaMott. She’s the only other person that gets an across-the-board response and respect level."

"I’m rappin’ now. Anybody who ain’t respecting me as an artist right now, mine as well just bash their heads into the wall just for being stupid. I say, just kill yourself ‘cuz if not, it’s gonna kill you for how much you about to hear me.........or Nancy LaMott."

Charles Manson again denied parole

May 24, 2007

CORCORAN, Calif. - Charles Manson was denied parole Wednesday, the 11th time since 1978 that the cult leader was ordered to continue serving life sentences for a murderous rampage in 1969.

Don't you think its about time we quit using the respectful "Charles" with this guy? Also, I was terrified of this man as a child, but even then I could of kept him at arms length by holding his head, what is he 4 feet tall? I'm more scared of lice!

What if Jack Elam played Jim on the office....

What if things had changed and the veteran character actor played Jim on the office and not John Krasinski?

First, He probably would probably make the choice not to look at the camera as much.

Second, he it would probably be more confusing if he did look at the camera as it would be harder to tell.

Third, being from old Hollywood he would most likely know that looking at the camera only once in awhile is the joke, not looking into the camera after every take.

Forth, Pam would be played by Imogene Coca.

Fifth, due to the new casting, people would not be in such a hurry to get Jim and Pam together, so the show could focus on what makes the show funny, Steve Carell and how working at an office can be funny.

Almost a 100 days left.I guess I should start posting every week?I've been working my ass off - the cut is really coming along -the shots ---awesome. Some of the most difficult renders in ILM history. Sometimes up to 38 hours per frame. The Show West thing was fun to see the scenes play in a 1000 person house. But they just saw 25 minutes so it is hard to feel engaged because they are not seeing the full run of a movie. Harry called me to tell me how he loved it. I see all the dickwad talk back people who claim they have read a finished script. Impossible - I kept the only draft for the last two months before shooting. That's where did major retooling to the script - yes the scene beats are similar but a very different script.We are still writing the robot voices. They talk about just 20 minutes of action at the end - yeah right. This is by far the most action I have ever put into a movie - I have 12 huge set pieces. Boy I get tired of these lame cry babies on the net.-Michael Bay

Pearl Harbor

From Wikopedia:

What Micheal Bay got right in Pearl Harbor

Director Michael Bay has said that Roger Ebert's criticism of Pearl Harbor has to be the most offensive of his entire career. According to Michael Bay: "He commented on TV that bombs don't fall like that. Does he actually think we didn't research every nook and cranny of how armor-piercing bombs fell? He's watched too many movies. He thinks they all fall flat — armor-piercing bombs fall straight down, that's the way it was designed! But HE's on the air pontificating and giving the wrong information. That's insulting!"

A few things he got wrong......

Early childhood sequences:
Stearman biplane (the crop-duster aircraft) was not produced until 1935. The opening scene of the film is set

in 1923. Many Hollywood movies in the 1960's and 1970's used a Stearman as their stock 'old biplane'. A more appropriate aircraft would be a Curtiss JN 4 'Jenny', but very few are available for this sort of work.
Eagle Squadron sequences:
A Supermarine Spitfire fitted with a four-blade propeller is shown during the airfield and flying shots in the film. It is a Spitfire variant that was not available until later in the war. Also, although the Eagles did use Spitfires, they were originally eight-gun MkIIs, later superseded by the MkV and IX (used by 133 Squadron). However, since there is only one MkII in flying condition (flown by the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and as such not used for film work), the MkV was used, as well as the later MkVIII. The original plan was to use a highly-inappropriate Spitfire XIV in dogfight sequences with a genuine Messerschmitt Bf 109E(!!).
Ben Affleck's character is portrayed as joining the Royal Air Force (RAF) as part of the Eagle squadron; U.S. servicemen were prohibited from doing so, though American civilians were allowed[8]. His eyesight would have been checked for RAF service.
Ben Affleck was based at RAF Oakley. This base was actually a training base in the war, not a fighter base. Historians point out that during the hot August summer of 1940, such expedients invariably did take place from time to time, and even for squadron training exercises.
Affleck's character flies with a Royal Air Force squadron (which used Supermarine Spitfires), but the planes actually featured in the movie bear the RF code letters of the No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron.
During the Battle of Britain flight sequences, the British Spitfires are shown flying in the standard American four-ship formation. The British actually flew in the three-ship Vee or "VIC" formation. Again this is open to dispute, because by the time of the late Battle, the RAF had adopted the German Luftwaffe 'Rotte' and 'Schwarm' system, known in RAF parlance as the 'Finger Four', which the USAF itself adopted as 'Four Ship' formation.
Pearl Harbor sequences:
The USS Arizona Memorial, which straddles the sunken USS Arizona, can be briefly seen in a pan shot. The memorial was dedicated in the 1960's.
President Roosevelt did not receive the news of the Pearl Harbor attack by an aide or adviser running into the room. He was having lunch with Harry Hopkins, a trusted friend, and he received a phone call from Secretary of War Henry Stimson. Hopkins refused to believe the report. The President believed it. [9]
Admiral Kimmel had received warnings about an attack but, thinking them vague, did not put his forces on full-scale alert. This contradicts the film's portrayal of Kimmel as a leader railing against Washington's apathy about the Japanese threat.[8]
Even though he specifically asked for, by dispatch and in person, all information, Admiral Kimmel never received the secret Magic dispatches that showed vital information. He also never received the famous 14-part message that the Japanese were delivering in response to the U.S. "ultimatum" of November 26. Especially not the 14th part which indicated the 1:00 p.m. (EST) delivery of the message and ordering the destruction of the "coding" equipment, even though this had been decoded some 9 hours before the attack.[10]
The reports that were given to Admiral Kimmel led him and his staff (as well as General Short, the Commander of the Hawaiian Army units) to believe that if Japan did attack, it would be somewhere in the southwest Pacific and not Pearl Harbor. In fact, they concurred when he deployed his task forces away from Hawaii. Before Pearl Harbor was attacked, he had deployed them around Wake and Midway Islands.[10]
The so-called "War Warning" dispatch that Admiral Kimmel received on November 27, 1941, did not warn the Pacific Fleet of an attack in the Hawaiian area. It did not state expressly or by implication that an attack in the Hawaiian area was imminent or probable. It did not repeal or modify the advice previously given me by the Navy Department that no move against Pearl Harbor was imminent or planned by Japan. The dispatch warned of war in the Far East. The number and equipment of Japanese troops and the organization of Naval task forces indicates an amphibious expedition against either the Philippines, Thailand, or Kra Peninsula, or possibly Borneo.[10]
Admiral Kimmel was not on a golf course on the morning of the attack, nor was he notified of the Japanese embassy leaving Washington, D.C., prior to the attack. The first official notification of the attack was received by General Short several hours after the attack had ended. Also, the report of attacking an enemy midget-submarine, in real life, did not report sinking the sub.
At the time of the attack, the battleships in Battleship Row were tied directly together, not spaced apart as they were in the movie.
Japanese aircraft of that period were painted light gray, not green.
Navy Nurse Betty dies during the Pearl Harbor attack, but no Navy Nurses died as a result of enemy action during the entirety of World War II, including the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The ward dresses of the nurses have a different style than the ones Navy Nurses actually wore during WWII, and no nurse would have worked with long hair falling freely about her shoulders.
Some of the bombed ships are actually mothballed Knox-class frigates, Ticonderoga Cruisers and Spruance-class destroyers, with the box launchers for anti-submarine rockets, known as ASROCs, visible. That technology was not available until the 1960s.
The FF-1062 USS Whipple can be seen clearly in a background shot of the boxing scene on the USS Arizona.
One of the intelligence photographs taken by the Japanese spies shows a North Carolina class battleship none of which were in Pearl Harbor at that time.
A retired Iowa class battleship was used to represent the USS West Virginia for Dorie Miller's boxing match. However, the main gun barrels are corked, which is unusual during wartime or training exercises. Furthermore, Iowa battleships have a 3x3 main gun configuration versus the 4x2 layout of the West Virginia. Also, the West Virginia did not have the WWII-era bridge and masts found on newer U.S. battleships until reconstruction was finished in 1943.
In the film, the P-40N model of the P-40 Warhawk U.S. fighter aircraft is shown. However, the 'N' model of the P-40 was not available to the United States until 1943.
In reality, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, although he planned the attack, was not present on any of the carriers that bombed Pearl Harbor. He was aboard the battleship Nagato in Tokyo Bay, where he heard reports of the attack and supposedly made his famous "sleeping giant" statement.
Yamamoto's "Sleeping Giant" quote is not only mis-quoted (In the film, he says "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant" when the full version is "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.") but almost certainly an invention by the screenwriter of Tora! Tora! Tora! Larry Forrester. Neither he, the director nor producer of that movie could produce the documents to support the claim. Pearl Harbor screenwriter Randall Wallace readily admits he took the line from the earlier film.
P-40 and Zero fighters are shown doing tight maneuvers and incredibly dangerous stunts, almost like X-Wing fighters from Star Wars. Neither plane was that nimble, although the Zero was the most feared fighter of the Pacific War until the F6F Hellcat debuted in 1943.
Dorie Miller's actions during the battle are altered. In the film, Miller comforts Captain Mervyn S. Bennion and is with him when he dies. Miller then delivers the captain's last orders to the ship's executive officer and then mans a machine gun. In reality, Miller helped move Bennion to a safer location. Bennion continued to direct the battle until he died of his wounds just before the ship was abandoned. Miller is credited with shooting down two enemy planes.
The USS Texas doubles for the USS West Virginia during the sequences featuring Dorie Miller. The Texas is considerably different in design than the ship she portrays, most notably lacking the 'cage' masts that distinguished West Virginia and California-class battleships. During these sequences, the West Virginia appears moored by herself, but in reality the battleship Tennessee was moored inboard (between the West Virginia and Ford Island) at the time of the attack.
In the attack, a sailor is shown jumping clear of a falling Battleship "tripod" main mast. No Battleship lost a tripod mast in such a manner. Not even with the sinking of the USS Oklahoma, which capsized, did a mast fall in such a way as shown in the film.
In the film, Dorie Miller is shown firing a twin Browning M2 Air Cooled 50 caliber machine gun. In reality, the .50 caliber machine guns found on the USS West Virginia were water-cooled with a large water cylinder around the barrel for cooling in a similar manner to the .303 Vickers Heavy machine gun.
Doolittle Raid sequences:
In preparation for the attack, Doolittle (Baldwin) is show training the pilots on land in a flat, sparsely wooded valley near mountains somewhere in the American Southwest. The actual training was done at the airfield known today as Columbia Metropolitian Airport in West Columbia, South Carolina. It is a far more verdant and mountainless area in the state's "Piedmont" topography. In fact, it continued to be training site for B-25 crews during the war which would use islands in the nearby Lake Murray for target practice. A crashed B-25 was recovered from the lake in the 1990's, restored and is now on display in the state museum.
Several shots of the USS Hornet aircraft carrier depicted it as having an angled flight deck, a technology that was not implemented until after the war. However, in every other respect the ship, portrayed by the USS Lexington, is acurate, and even of the same Lineiage, the Essex class. The Japanese carriers are portrayed more correctly by comparison—a few of them did have their bridge/conning tower superstructure on port side rather than the more common starboard configuration.
Affleck and Hartnett's characters are shown taking part in the Doolittle bombing raid over Tokyo in which, as fighter pilots, they would not have been allowed to participate.
The B-25 Mitchells shown participating in the Raid are "J"-models, when the models used in the actual Raid were "B"-models.
Several crewmen on Affleck and Harnett's B-25's are killed in the firefight with the Japanese, including Harnett's character. In fact, no members of the raid were killed in this manner. Three airmen died in the crash landings in China, three were later executed as POWs by their Japanese captors, and one died of starvation in captivity. (Four other POWs were recovered alive near the end of the war).
Other inaccuracies:
Mitchel Field is incorrectly spelled "Mitchell Field."
Despite Long Island's flat, level surface, mountains are visible in the flying shots over Long Island.
Navy Nurse Betty claims to be 17 years old and that she has cheated with her age to be accepted, but Navy Nurses were required to be registered nurses to join the Navy Nurse Corps, which meant three years of prior training and passing a state board examination, very unlikely qualifications for any seventeen year old. The minimum age to join the Navy Nurse Corps was 22.
President Roosevelt is seen rising from his wheelchair to inspire his staff after the attack. There is no record of him having done - or even being capable of - this in real life.
The observation car seen in the train station was made for the California Zephyr, which did not appear until after WWII.
The sequence where Josh Hartnett's and Ben Affleck's characters 'play chicken' with their P-40's at the U.S. airbase is cited in the film as taking place in late 1941. This is prior to Affleck's departure to the UK to join Eagle Squadron in time for the Battle of Britain. There is no error here. Although the "Battle of Britain" (proper) took place from July through October, 1940, a lesser air battle continued thereafter. The first Eagle Squadron was formed in September 1940. Eventually, there were three Eagle Squadrons, right up until the U.S. entered the war (virtually the same timing as the Flying Tigers in China).
The Queen Mary is seen in New York Harbor in full Cunard colours. It is more likely that she would have been painted gray and would have served in war duties as either a troopship or hospital vessel. By late 1940, the Queen Mary was on her way to Sydney to be fitted out as a troopship.
The radar monitors shown in Pearl Harbor are of the more modern type which show the rotation of a dish. This type of radar was not in use at the time.
In a wide-angle shot, the distinct outline of a U.S. Kitty Hawk class aircraft carrier can be made out, the first of which was not commissioned until 1961. In the same shot, the sail of a modern submarine can be easily made out.
There is no reason that U.S. Navy nurses would be assessing whether pilot candidates in the U.S. Army Air Corps are fit to fly. It is reasonable to assume that the Army would use its own medical staff.
Doris Miller is shown receiving his Navy Cross on the deck of a battleship. He actually received his medal in a ceremony aboard an aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise, shortly before the Battle of Midway.
Prior to the attack, Admiral Yamamoto turns a Japanese calendar to Sunday December 7 to make note of the date of the operation. In reality, when the attack started at 6:37 am Hawaii time, it was 1:37 am on Monday December 8 in Japan. The date December 7 was used because it is noted by Americans as the date of the attack. The Japanese version shows Yamamoto making note of the December 8 as the operation date.
The dollar bill with the overprint of Hawaii, did not come out until the summer of 1942.
During the panning shot of the fleet just before the Doolittle raid, a Burke Class Destroyer is visible in the back. These ships did not come into service until 1991.
Yamamoto in real life is missing 2 fingers. In the movie he has all fingers.

NOW I get Dane Cook....

From Wikipedia:

Cook utilizes a unique slang vocabulary to match his talkative manner. For example: A bad relationship is a "Relationshit", Wallgreens is "The Wall," and a sandwich is a "sangwich". Similarly, he uses such acronyms as BAMF and SUFI, which are short for "Bad Ass Mother F**ker" and "SUperFInger." He

also shortens words to keep the same meaning. He has even been known to completely change words, like saying "Concernicus" instead of concerned, and "Chicken Sangwich" instead of Chicken Sandwich.

So Cook even rips off Bud Abbott? And not only does he say "Sangwich" but "Chicken Sangwich."

Olympian Gardner survives small plane crash

LAKE CITY - Olympic wrestling champion Rulon Gardner survived a plane crash over the weekend on the Utah-Arizona border.
Gardner and two Utah brothers were rescued by a fisherman Sunday after swimming more than an hour in 44-degree water and spending the night without shelter

Meanwhile I walked a block to the store complaining in a snowstorm to buy a 12 pack of Coke. AND had to carry it back.....a block.

" .........You won’t find it in the Guinness Book of World Records, but Andre the Giant holds the world record for the largest number of beers consumed in a single sitting. These were standard 12-ounce bottles of beer, nothing fancy, but during a six-hour period Andre drank 119 of them. It was one of the few times Andre got drunk enough to pass out, which he did in a hallway at his hotel. His companions, quite drunk themselves, couldn’t move the big man. Fearing trouble with cops, they stole a piano cover from the lounge and draped it over Andre’s inert form. He slept peacefully until morning, unmolested by anyone. Perhaps the hotel people thought he was a piece of furniture.

Think about it: 119 beers in six hours. That’s a beer every three minutes, non stop. That’s beyond epic. It’s beyond the ken of mortal men. It’s god-like. ......"

Original Guns N' Roses to reform?

Slash's Ju Ju Racketeers Road Crew?

02/20/2007 3:00 PM, Yahoo! MusicDotmusic

The seminal Guns N' Roses lineup is edging closer to reforming, according to original drummer Steven Adler.
Adler is understood to have recently reconciled with singer Axl Rose, prompting suggestions that the band might get back together.



Could this mean the end of 'Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds'? How about 'Mad for the Racket' or 'The Racketeers'? And would this mean the end of 'Slash's Snakepit'? And would 'Road Crew' ever make 10's of people happy? And if the make another Hulk movie, who can do better then 'Velvet Underground'?

Guns N' Roses? No thank you. It just not worth it.

Correction in Feb. 23, 2007 Entertainment Weekly

In question 2 of EW's Pop culture Personality test, Patrick Warburton actually chose Cheech. In question 4, we meant Kate Jackson (Spotlight).

David Crosby ill, Crosby-Nash tour postponed

Fit as a fiddle! (David Crosby seen here with an Oak Ridge Boy) Feb 17, Reuters

David Crosby and Graham Nash, members of one of the top rock groups of the 1960s and 1970s, have postponed a U.S. tour due to Crosby's ill health, a representative said.
"The action was taken because of medical issues that have arisen for member David Crosby," the Web site http://crosbynash.com said in a posting on Friday which did not specify Crosby's illness.
So to the nobody that knew about this tour, the tickets will be refunded. Again, to everybody that didn't know about this tour which is everybody on the planet, tickets will be refunded, but to no one since nobody knew about the tour.

Clues

Peanut shells in my hairtip me off

that I’ve recently been on a bar floor.

The odor from my mustache clues me inthat there was vomiting in my recent past.

For the love of Pete, I hope it was mine.

The pain in my arm, ass, and side insinuates that I’ve been forcibly ejected from somewhere.

The gravel imbedded in my cheek might well mean that I’ve had better landings.

For f***’s sake, I hope I had fun.

Franken's first issue: universal health care

Look how serious I am!

Comedian-turned-politician Al Franken used his first campaign event today in Minneapolis to proclaim his support for universal health coverage.

"I don't think it will cost us any more. I think it will be cheaper," Franken said.

"I also, um, think that if criminals are off the street, there may be, I think, less crime. I think........"

Meanwhile Tom Davis has been murdered to keep his mouth shut.

Al Franken says he's running for U.S. Senate

A Big Fat Idiot. (Who also I think killed Phil Hartman.)

Pioneer Press 2/14/2007
Starting today, funny man (!?) Al Franken begins his bid to be taken seriously as a Democratic U.S. Senate candidate.
"I'm not a typical politician. I've spent my career as a comedian. Minnesotans have a right to be skeptical about whether I'm ready for this challenge," Franken said..
"I want you to know: Nothing means more to me than making government work better for the working families of the state, and over the next 20 months I look forward to proving to you that I take these issues seriously."

20 Months. And 167 days until I move from Minnesota. Thank you Al for giving me time. Oh by the way, nice Air America. That's going well.
