Brain Tilt

After watching Snakes on a Plane last night, I decided to wait before positng my thoughts on it, since I couldn’t believe what I had just watched. I figured that if I waited until today and let things marinate, I might be able to articulate my thoughts on this movie.

Not the case.

In fact, I don’t think that there is anything I can say about this movie that will do it justice. It ranges from the absolutely absurd (one dude gets bitten on the penis; hundreds of exotic, poisonous snakes end up on a plane, etc.) to the comically bad (anything that comes out of Samuel L. Jackson’s mouth). And yet, the actors and the director were somehow able to combine the most ridiculous plot with laughably bad acting and make a movie that is not entirely terrible. Don’t get me wrong, this will never win any kind of award, but it’s not horrible.

Who knew that I would enjoy Snakes on a Plane this much??

I don’t even know what to say right now.  I just finished watching Snakes on a Plane and I don’t even know what to say.

I feel the need to somment, but I might have to wait until the morning to do so.

UCLA knocked out Kansas this evening.  While it doesn’t hurt me too bad (I had Kansas losing to Florida in the next round), it does make the Florida game MUCH more interesting for me, since I have them as my champion and the guys I’m in a pool with have UCLA as thier champion.  Basically, if Florida wins, I pretty much lock up the pool.

I can’t handle that kind of stress.

Last week, I blogged on the beauty of March Madness.

Tonight was the epitome of March Madness. Texas A&M (who I had in my championship game) was playing Memphis. Normally, I wouldn’t care about this game. But, if A&M lost, I would be seriously hurt in my pool. So in the last 2 minutes of the game, I was completely filled with nervous energy, excited when A&M scored and crying out in horror when they failed to rebound. Then, with one free throw, I went from nervous excitment to complete depression and anger.

All for a sport and a game I normally don’t care about.

I think that if college football could get its act together and put on a tournament, then I’d care more about the bowl games that my team was not in. AS of now, I really don’t give a crap who plays in the Insight.com bowl or the Emerald bowl.

Who says chess players are nerdy guys who don’t get chicks??

Looks like China has fully embraced the ways of the West.

You wouldn’t have to ask me twice.  I’d take the money and walk.  And I’d probably take a lot less than that kid was offered.

You have to love  March Madness.  It makes you do crazy things.

For example…

I love football.  I watch every NCAA and NFL game I possibly can.  I read every article I can get my hands on.  I keep up with trade rumors, free-agent signings and recruiting.  However, I very rarely bet on football.

Then along comes March Madness.  I have watched maybe 3 games all season (all of them Alabama games) and I am filling out brackets and entering as many office pools as I can at $5 a pop.

Only March Madness can make me bet on a sport I don’t watch, when I don’t even bet on the sport I follow religiously.

Go figure.

Looks like Google is in for what I would guess is the first of many such lawsuits.  Granted, this may be the biggest, but I still think Google will get whacked with a ton of lawsuits.  I really don’t think Google thought through the YouTube acquisition.  YouTube was ripe for copyright infringement lawsuits.  And now they are getting sued for copyright infringement.

Surely they saw this coming.

Why the hell would you ever try this???
