The First Entry of 2009
And so...2009 begins. The year that will see Randy Orton main event Wrestlemania. The year that will see a movie about wrestling get Oscar noms. The year where everyone will be disappointed when common sense takes over and Dark Knight DOESN'T win most of the major categories. The year where the Office will get the Emmy for Best Comedy. And the year that will see the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim defeat the Milwaukee Brewers to win the World Series.
(Okay, odds are that none of the above will happen. But if I don't get my picks in now, how will I gloat later when any of that does happen?)
I ended up not watching as much of The Comedy Network's Corner Gas Marathon as I originally planned. That Descriptive Video or whatever they call it when that guy describes what's on screen was kind of annoying. Anyone know how to turn that off? I don't turn it on in the first place, but I've had that happen a few times. It's always annoying. Although if I am doing something else, I suppose it could be helpful....Nah...it's still annoying.
Have you ever seen those Bow-flex commercials? No, not the one about the guy in the band that reminds me of former Chicago White Sox pitcher Jack McDowell and not the one with the hot grandmother in the bikini. That one with the weaselly little dude who talks about giving all his fat clothes to his fat friends, and that his wife gives him that little wink every now and then. Am I the only one who thinks he comes off as way too smug? I don't know, maybe I'm misreading things.
So, the Wrestler is playing in one theatre within hundreds of (Canadian) miles of here and yet Motel for Dogs seems to be about to open wide. I'm sorry...in what freakin' universe does that makes sense?
And speaking of movies, I just took a really good look at that trailer for the Unborn. In one scene, the main character is in a club when this demonic kid (her unborn twin come to life to kill her) appears to menace her. And what I'm thinking is...how did this kid not get carded? Does this club never heard of something called a bouncer?
Okay...I'm going to close off with something I like to call "Reader Interaction". As I stated in one of my earlier columns, I know a few people (Jasons Kurn and Houlihan, Sue, Angela, Kelly, Jenn, Sean and Cory) do read this blog. If anyone else is reading this on a regular basis, drop me a line (docmilner42@hotmail.com) and let me know.
