"I Pooted"

So I'm driving down 220 in Winston-Salem, NC, returning from a weekend with my parents. My wife and I are chatting away when suddenly I see a bright red billboard with no other markings or words on it other than, "Clowns hate Tangelos." I had no idea. First, I did not know clowns hated tangelos. Second, I did not know their disdain had reached a level that they felt compelled to take out a billboard ad to proclaim their hatred to the world. Just at the moment when my deep pondering of this profound statement reached it's climax I saw another bright and plain billboard that read, "I'm a Hot Toe Picker." Wow, I thought, that's deep. I'm not even sure what that means. My mind was swirling, trying to make sense of these seemingly unrelated yet connected phrases. Like Tom Hanks trying to decipher the interrelated messages from ancient painters, I ran these phrases over and over through my mind. It was at this time that I viewed the final message from this unknown entity. It read simply, "I pooted."

P.S. If you have children, you may have figured this out long before I did.

Movies Movies Movies

Here is a list of movies I have seen as of late and movies I am looking forward to.

First of all if you have not already seen it, go out and rent Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I loved this movie. It’s very different. I enjoyed the story, I enjoyed Jim Carrey, and I enjoyed how they visually captured things like running through someone’s mind. I can’t say enough about this one. Check it out.

Ok., to the big screen. X Men III. I loved this one too. Other than some extremely cheesy moments, “Charles always wanted to build bridges” I believe this is my favorite X-men. Even though the second has some great action/fight scenes I thought the story in this one was the best of the three. The ending was satisfactory enough. And though they left it open for another installment I hope they stop now before they screw it up. Jackman will be back in a year or so for the Wolverine spin-off. Check out the Ghost Rider preview at the begging of this one as well.

The Break-up. Will this man ever stop? Vince Vaughan makes Will Farrell seem unfunny. There, I said it. This is a good comedy, plenty of laughs, decent story and I think Jennifer Aniston’s best big screen performance since Office Space. (I just wanted to mention Office Space)

What to look for later this year?

Superman Returns
Pirates of the Caribbean
A Scanner Darkly
Fearless (Jet Li)
Fan Boys (yea, I’m geeking out again)
Snakes on a Plane

So there you have it.
