A few things:

read my blog about Saved by the bell, especially if you like it. And if you do, you will end up like the dog.

POTC...looks pretty cool. Still haven't seen it yet tho. Here's my priority:
1) LXG
2) Bad boys II (only because it comes out after LXG)
3) POTC
4) SWAT
5) Lesbian Slumber Party Orgy #14

I just saw Finding Nemo. The graphics were dope. Pixar rules. The storyline SUCKED. Here's the 3 things i liked from the movie:
1) the crabs on the pipeline (man..that sounds bad). "hey hey hey hey"
2) the seagulls "mine mine mine mine mine"
3) the fish in the tank that nut everytime the bubble came out of the chest.
That's it. other than that, the movie was fucking stupid. It was like it was trying too hard to send meaningful messages out. Monsters Inc was way better, as was Toy Story 1 and 2.

I would highly recommend that you all read "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. It's an excellent book. Jon (and anyone else who liked the last Indiana Jones movie) would like this book because it's about a quest for the holy grail..but it redefines what the grail exactly is. In fact, the whole book shows how wrong the Catholic church is in it's religious teachings. But it's really good. and this is coming from a guy who's idea of reading the newspaper is looking at the comics and that's it.

I hope someone has Equilibrium on DVD so i can watch it when i get back.

Brendan if you buy another Xbox just for halo i will erase the hard drive on ur computer.

well, i'll be back on Sat. Hope to see you guys then.
Bryant would say age ain't nothing but a number...he would also say "legal" is overrated.

Bruckheimer whores please stand up. Oh look it's everyone else on this blog. Well it is ILS isn't it? Hey Bryant you forgot about Kangaroo Jack! Haha!
If you ever forget that one again, Bruckheimer will never forgive you. Did anyone else notice that Bruckheimer and Bay kinda look like each other? Maybe that's why they are lovers.

What exactly did Kevin say about Jon's friends? Let's instigate some shit. Either way they are nice guys and they have always let me come into their poker games and now Halo...hopefully more in the future. So while they are "nerds"...at least they don't play Halo as much as we do Socom. I guess we are dorks. Is there a difference? You tell me.

I know Bryant doesn't like me calling his girlfriend her names I give her...but I've decided when its in normal context I shall use her three letter name...Tif. Kinda sounds like Tiff. HOWEVER when it comes to films (and I guess she considers herself a fan of them) if she hasn't seen the films we mentioned off then she still gets the name T-Rant until she shows me her receipts from Blockbuster that she did indeed rent them and then I want a 3 page paper on why that movie kicked ass or sucked anus pubes. Then she will be rewarded with her real name. Youg'n. Hehe. Good start on the films Bryant...keep up the good work. She will come to understand how good they truly are.

I'm with Bryant on Chico. I've never been because...well I have no desire to travel there. Kevin is some incentive...but isn't a PS2 incentive to keep in touch with us? Breaking news: Socom is MIA in Maniac's residence...all suspects shall be interrogated until it is found.

Not to ruin anything for you guys...Haha. If you didn't know ESPN has better coverage of the WSOP 2003. If you wanna know who won it then you can look it up or ask me. Either way you won't believe it.

BLuckyday is contemplating on buying another X-Box strictly for Halo. Anyone wanna knock some sense into me? Give me 3 legit reasons why two Xboxes is just covering up my insecurities. If no one responds...be ready for some 8 player Halo tourneys.

Old joke that you've probably heard before...but it still makes me smirk.

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel attached to his crotch. The bartender says, "Hey you gotta steering wheel attached to your crotch." the Pirate responds, "Aye...an its drive'n meeh nuts!"
I agree, Pirates was a good movie. I actually thought it kicked ass. The parts that dragged, I didn't mind one bit. The girl was pretty cute, I say go for her Brendan, age ain't nothin' but a number, with big knees, big smile, nice body though (right kev?).

Anyway, the movie I thought was a cool pirate movie, which I haven't seen in a long...well actually, ever...besides Hook, but c'mon now. I am a Bruckheimer fan, I loved the Rock, Armagaeddon (sp), Bad Boys (of course), but he has some shitty ones Gone in 60 seconds, Coyote Ugly..etc...so I can understand fears about the movie being crappy. I like how the movie incorporated scenes from the ride into the movie, that was pretty sick. The action was awesome, I liked the final battle, and the story of it all. Johnny Depp was a pimp and I thought his character was hilarious, he had kind of a flamboyant walk at times though. Orlando Bloom was cool, just as I expected him to be, since he is LEGOLAS! The only thing I would have changed is some of the bitch ass pirates like the one who kept losing his eye, got annoying after a while. I will see it again with anyone, let me work a little first though. =)

To explain what it takes to get Kevin to go out to the bars and even drinking...
a. A very beautiful girl. It can't be just cute, pretty, alright....she's gotta be FINE AS HELL
b. He's gotta have at least enough money for a drink and then he will hope to run into people who will buy him drinks.
c. Constant pressure could work, depending on his mood and how annoying a person can get aka Spencer
d. As long as their is as little effort on his part in going, then he's down. Moving is part of this one.
e. Last and not least, if there is dancing involved, he needs to be FUCKED UP...so he can become the self-titled..Kevin Kiser, Dancing Machine

I'm sorry I missed the Halo Tourney, but that sounds awesome and totally fun to play. Kevin's description on the phone of the people there...classic.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 days...funny at first, guys worst nightmare and then it goes mushy and kind of boring. I have exposed Tiff to Bad Boys and the Goonies. Waiting on Indiana Jones to come onto DVD before she gets to see those.

I've said it once and I will say it again...Chico sounds pretty wack. Sounds like some hick ass people up there. Have fun, don't shoot too much livestock and stuff Kevin. If you come to SJ with a 12 gauge, I don't even know what to say.

Vegas..I was thinking the 22 - 24 or 29 - 31 (labor day weekend, so we could stay until the 1st of Sept.) Any thoughts?
Disneyland or Magic Mountain (Aug 15 - 17)...maybe?

Just let me know, if no one is interested at all, then I'll drop it...but I thought it would be fun.

Alright, I'm outta here...talk to you allz, laterz

Ye be warned mateys. POTC:COTBP is 2 an a half hours sez I. Aye, Fer the lilly livered lads wit no booty I be will'n to wager yer just go down to Davey Jones's locker.

Here it is. Another film review post that no one will read since it isn't really considered ILS material. But I don't care. I will try to write a simple review that is far better than ANY magazine or newspaper can come up with. No spoilers contained.

Yes it is long. Yet I waited over a year and half for this movie so two and half hours is still too short. Does it drag in certain places...yes. But then again...more film time equals more Keira Knightley time. Regardless of age she is...damn...I wish I were a pirate. Depp...interesting role...might not be what you expected. Still better than Edward Scissorhands. Aside from Miss. Knightley looking absolutely gorgeous in my opinion, she did a good job in her role. Rush is even better...that guy just might have pirate's blood running through him. Bruckheimer or however you spell his name...at first I thought he was going to butcher what could be a kick ass film. Then Gore Verbinski signed on as director and I was at peace. The film is stylized but in a classy way (ahem...take note Michael Bay...you might be replaced as Bruckheimers bizatch). I liked the way it looked and the way it shot really did remind me of the Ring. Which isn't a bad thing by the way. Andy said it best when he said he might not be able to sit through it EVER again. However I would be. If you want to go see it...CALL ME UP. I WILL GO. No, not just for Keira but also because this in my mind is a good film to study for shooting action without it going overboard for crazy camera angles. I'm glad they didn't use too much CG but when they do I thought it was awesome. Overall it captures the same feel as the ride at Disneyland. Once you sit down in the air conditioned ride it feels good. Yet by the time the ride ends you really don't want to get out of your seat...because your either too tired (perhaps the ride dragged on too long?) or because you like the lives of Pirates so much (that's me) that 2 and half hours isn't long enough. HOWEVER they better not make too many sequels...or else we might have Pirates in 3D!!! in the old Cap'n EO theatre. Thumbs up for Keira...the film wasn't bad either.

I leave you with a stupid Pirate joke.

How much did the Pirate pay for his ear piercing?

A buccaneer.

Let's get this straight...I'm more suave then Brendan anyday of the week. Especially because of his long ass hair and his oh so friendly personality. haha. C'mon, you gotta admit the long hair is killing you in the suave the department. Good thing you shaved the beard or you would look like a freakin' bum. For those who don't know what Brendan's hair looks like right now, check out the grad pics on my Web site and you'll get a good look.

Terminator 3 was entertaining. I really did like it. It was a stretch about the whole story and it doesn't compare to T2, but still a good movie nonetheless. The director and writers did a way better job than I thought they would do, especially since Cameron didn't help at all. T1 was a pretty janky movie minus two parts, the whole police station scene and when he's loading a shotgun at the Gun store and the clerk says, "Hey you can't do that." Arnold replies, "WRONG!" and blasts him. Classic. The movie industry is a business and the makers of T3 are smart to keep this franchise going. There are a lot of fanatics out there. Whether or not I agree with these tactics doesn't really matter, because overall I enjoyed the movie and it exceeded my expectations. Maybe that's why I liked it so much.

Bruce Almighty - not very good. My gf needs to work on her movie picking skills hehe. This week I will try to expose her to High Fidelity, the Goonies, and Made. We'll see how that works. Anyway, back to Bruce...it had one really funny part, but then it just starts to fade and drag. Jim Carrey's jokes and expressions were all the same, nothing really new. He did a good job with the part that he got, but I really think he wants to get into dramas, but it ain't workin' for him.

The Recruit - predictable, but a pretty good movie. I agree with Steve that Collin Farrell is a talented actor. Every movie I've seen him in, I've liked, so maybe it's coincidence...maybe not...

Equilibrium - I will see that soon, so that I may put an opinion. I want to see Brian, Brendan and Andy duke it out and discuss the movie. Opinions are great aren't they?

Videogames - Advanced Wars 2 is pretty fun. The computer is a cheap bitch sometimes though. I dunno about Everquest, but I want to try Star Wars Galaxies, but like Brian I would need a better computer. Speaking of which, supposedly Brendan will build me one w/ the help of maybe Jonathan and maybe Brian, if I give him a budget. Sounds good to me =) Socom doesn't suck, it may if you haven't played it or are not good at it yet, but once you do, you'll be hooked, especially if you're as bitchy as B Lee Dat, Sushiboy , Maniac Cop, and j.reid are.

I think Derek hates everyone haha. Ironic since he's the most religious out of all of us. But he makes fun of everyone on this blog without really writing about anything else. He keeps it short and sweet. I think he does it on here so that no one can respond, but I have no clue. I don't think he hates anyone, maybe strongly dislikes, but that would have to be pretty extreme. Worse comes to worse, play him at Halo, he doesn't do too well there, though he is getting better, that sneaky bastard!!!!! haha

I was a few days late, but hahahahaha...Steve your blog was pretty funny haha. I liked it and your return to Pooky was more than a welcomed surprise to me. I can't wait to see you, I will be at the airport checkin' every flight so that I can be the first one to see you off the plane =)

Obon - San Jose is next weekend and Mountain View the weekend after that...who's ready? Time to eat up and chill w/ hella asian people, wheee! Someone better drink with me...Steve lookin' at you...well depends if I have money also, but that will be figured out soon enough. I promise, I'll try to behave a little more this year...muhahaha.

Alright, I'm out. I got work in a week, so I'm tryin' to live it up with my last few seconds of freedom from the MAN. Take care and I will see you all soon.
Vegas baby, Vegas...
