Greatest Movie Ever?

This morning, at approximately 7:06am, I may have found what may just be the Greatest Movie Ever. Now, I was only able to catch about 20 minutes or so but I am convinced that when I do in fact watch the entire cinematic masterpiece, I will be able to say that in all confidence.

For those of you who do not know who Nick Fury is, let me give you a very quick, short background. Nick Fury is a Marvel comic book character, the head of an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. [Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division - originally. It's been changed but that's not what's important.] It's a counter-terrorism/intelligence agency that deals with superhuman threats. Basically. Anyway, Nick Fury is the head of the agency, and a TV movie was made called Nick Fury: Agent of Shield in 1998. This is the movie of which I speak. Not being a huge fan of Nick Fury's character in the comics - don't get me wrong, I like him and he's an enormous bad-ass - I did not display the kind of enthusiasm I may evoke for such films as X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman, and of course the upcoming Superman Returns. That was until I saw who was playing the incorrigable Nick Fury.


Out of fucking nowhere, it's David Hasselhoff.

As they are wont to say in Marvel Comics... 'nuff said.

The Road To Betrothal and Beyond.

I am engaged to be married. Now, before you ladies get all depressed and furrow-browed, allow me to add that before I became engaged you didn't have a chance anyway, and, truth be told, I am probably too good for you. So there's that. Yes, after almost exactly two and a half years of dating (and living together for the heavy majority of that), Nichole and myself will be tying the knot. Then, after we finish with our shoes, we'll get hitched. Then, after finishing with the horse and carriage, we'll get married. Tentatively in May of 2009, but I am getting ahead of myself. I decided to do this for two reasons. The first and foremost, I felt it was time. She, being a member of the female species, has been ready for awhile now, but I was not. Not for lack of love or enthusiasm for the idea, I just did not feel the time was right. It is now. Or was now? Is now was? None of that sounds right. The other reason was where we are in our relationship and in life. We have put in fo

Should This Concern Me?

In each elevator at work there is a small metal box within which you can find the elevator's Certificate of Registration. This is given by some sort of Labor & Liscensing Something Or Other. I just looked at it roughly thirty seconds or so ago, and I've forgotten already. Such is my short-term memory. The certificate looks like this: It really is in all of them, I just happened to be in elevator #6. Which is ironic, as there are exactly six elevators. That might not be ironic. Still, though, the position of the elevator I used would not occur to me as #6. I would see it as #3, I think. Be that as it may, on each certificate, in the lower-ish right there is an Expiration Date. We all know our car registration expires, so it seems only proper that elevator registrations would have the capacity to do so as well. Below is a picture of the Expiration Date. This date applies to each elevator, not only The Illustrious #6. Sorry if it's hard to read, but I only had my

A Case Study: Blue Thunder vs. Airwolf

Back in the 80's, the years 1983 and 1984 to be specific, the youth of America was treated to the emergence of a new, cool vehicle not given it's due in years before. We were exposed to the coolness of the helicopter. We had seen planes, trains, and automobiles, but before this time the helicopter was more of an after-thought. The grown-ups of this time knew of them, sure, but only in a traffic-copter or rescue-copter capacity. We of the younger generation, though, knew more about fire engines and jet planes. We were content with that. Then, along came the helicopter. Not just the Red Cross Rescue Helicopter, I'm talking helicopters with weapons . In 1983, a movie was released by the name of Blue Thunder . This was about a high-tech military helicopter piloted by one Roy Scheider, he of Jaws fame. He plays a LAPD helicopter pilot who is selected to pilot this new, super advanced badass helicopter called Blue Thunder . There is an evil plot, plenty of helicopter ac
