I MEAN ITS PROBABLY JUST ME BUT...


im kinda like him when it comes to the http

Do any of yall get ridiculously protective of websites yall visit? Have you discovered a clever little obscure gem of wit and intelligence through hours of surfing and sifting and are loathe to share it with other people? I noticed this about myself recently and found it mildly amusing. For instance i was on the onion (not particularly obscure, but serves the topic at hand) and a coworker walking past my cube was all "ooh whats that?" when she saw the humorously titled article.


So i begrudgingly tell her, and like a week later she's emailing me links to articles on the onion, like SHE put ME on. Boo.

I just saw the trailer for the new Will Smith movie, and i must say, i'm intrigued. Well as intrigued as one can be by a Will Smith movie. My problem with his movies is that he always seems to be "Will Smith" in whatever film he's in which bothers me. I prefer my actors to really get lost in the character they are playing, but his own personality must be way too strong, because all I see is the Fresh Prince, no matter what the role is.

Not to mention the majority of his roles/films are pretty much formulaic. There is usually some sort of impending disaster, which leaves him as the only one who can save humanity from an awful fate. Add glistening muscles, gratuitous profanity, a smattering of campy wit; "welcome to earth! *punch*" Et voila! you've got yourself a Cinema Willard.

To be sure, i did NOT see pursuit of happyness. Which may have broken the mold - but at the time of its release my mind was not in the mood of tearjerker feelgoodness. Have i missed out? Should i see it? What do you folks at home think?

Anywho...Im probably eons late on this but check out the trailer for his new fllick; www.iamlegend.com

It doesnt look particularly cerebral, but im thinking cerebral is overrated anyway. I go to the movies to be entertained, not to be "challenged". There are other forums for that. If you are one of those people who needs to be challenged everytime you set foot in a theater then you're lame. There, I said it.

I took my son to see Pursuit of Happyness and it was excellent. Will definitely played an un-Will type of role. I have no desire to see i am legend though, because it reeks of smugness, and I liked the idea better when Tom Hanks did that movie and called it Cast away.

i think i will rent Happyness this weekend. Maybe for friday night lounging even.

And might i add the we must be E-twins or something because when i saw the trailer for the film i was like "what is this? a bootleg Cast Away?" lol
