Hollywood Needs To Explode.

I just read a story over on Ain't It Cool News that caused my blood to turn cold.

Apparently, The Powers That Be in Hollywood are planning on making Ace Ventura 3.

Normally, I would stand and applaud this decision, and explain to those I socialize with how great of an idea this really and truly is.

I cannot do that, unfortunately. They are making it without Jim Carrey.

"How is that even possible?" you ask with shock and no awe. Well, it seems they will be using the premise that has always worked so well in the past with sequels. It will be Ace Ventura's son that has the adventure. Something about a panda. It doesn't matter.

This hasn't worked before, and will not work now. I loved Dumb & Dumber. The sequel sucked. Or prequel, I guess. Why was it so bad? Because Jim Carrey wasn't in it. If you are going to a sequel, you must have both Carrey and Daniels.

Take a look at all the good sequels out there. Even good spinoffs. They have something in common. A true connection to the movie they are based upon. Not a suggested connection, like "It's his son," as is the case with this thing they are calling Ace Ventura 3.

I don't need to go on about this. Suffice to say, this is going to be awful. I feel bad for the kid they cast as Little Ace, because no one is going to like him. I thought Eric Christian Olsen, who played Lloyd in Dumb & Dumberer did a great job playing off of Jim Carrey's Lloyd. The movie still sucked, though. The guy who played Harry, in my opinion, was somewhat awful. No comic timing, no real connection to the other main character. It sucked.

This movie will suck, and it's a shame. I am a 30 year old man and I freaking love both Ace Ventura movies. They are individually awesome. I fully enjoy when Carrey goes over the top and it works.

This movie is a worse idea than Alvin and the Chipmunks. And we know how I feel about that.

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
