Check this out guys. Wed Nights, Hump Nights, I’ll be doing a live Spreecast at 8PM MST, or shortly there after.
We tried it out twice today. In the afternoon and at 8pm. Both times the results were very positive. The second time we had 10-12 people, very interactive, and a lot of fun.
I have some plans for this for tomorrow night’s Regularly Scheduled Show.
I got there a couple minutes too late. I wanted that sunset light on the cabin, but it went just a touch too low and the bike is in shadow instead of lit like I wanted. But that old cabin still looks cool.
This is just off Hwy 121 in Lapoint. If you are on Highway 40 and turn north to connect to 121, hang a Left at Shirley’s and this place will be about a half mile down the highway on the Right. It’s older than it looks.
Skyfall. Best. Bond. Ever. We have important character introductions, breathtaking action, and Bond getting down on an Enduro. I really enjoyed this movie more than any other James Bond I have ever watched. It was well paced, directed, and it just worked.
Also, Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever to have played the role. All other Bonds were cartoons. Daniel Craig makes Bond feel real. Human. He bleeds, he gets scars, he hurts… he gets his ass kicked… and then he Wins because he’s James Bond. The UK’s version of Captain America, but for the UK. Their Hero has Cuff Links and under-powered inaccurate pistols. Which is fine… and I envy England because in the US… we don’t have such a character. Jack Ryan? (Tom Clancy) or XXX? Captain America? No… I want an American Bond. Maybe that’s why I like Daniel Craig… that Bigger Hammer approach gives American’s something in common with Bond.
Either way, Skyfall is the pinnacle of the James Bond Universe.
Black Friday is tomorrow. A lot of guys want guns. A lot of guys are afraid of their wives, even though they have plenty of money to get the gun they want. I offer you slackjaws some friendly advice on how to get your gun.
I had a strange thought. That I should sell MadOgre.com and start a new Blog afresh.
Update:
Okay, so…. no… I’m not going to sell MadOgre.com.
Due to popular demand, Ronin, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Zulu, and The Thing has been included, bumping a few movies.
Some guys have been asking why no Star Wars. Because primarily there is very little Baddassery going on. Han shot after Greedo misses, Storm Troopers miss too much, and Luke is a little biotch.
Update: Wild Bunch instead of Inception.
I think this is about as solid as it gets for the Top Fifty. Really, this list is now a Master’s Degree in being Badass. Each movie teaches lessons in about being a fucking Man, and not a sensitive metrosexual guy with a spare vaginia in his man-purse.
What do you think now?
Hulu has their Criterion Collection. Most of it is Crap. If you want the list. THE LIST. Of movies that You Have To Watch. Here it is. It’s a Check List. If you have not seen one of these movies, you are Wrong and you need to correct yourself.
I just read that the Union Boss is blaming Mitt Romney because Hostess shut down.
I can’t fathom the depths of stupidity illustrated here. The level of ignorance is shocking.
We have a downward plunging economy. A gigantic tax hike in the form of health care, pushed on them by the President they undoubtedly supported. Increased costs on everything. And fewer customers because they can’t afford luxury snacks. Not to mention the fact the First Lady has been preaching against them. And instead of looking for ways to save the company… which was already in bankruptcy… They pushed past what the company said they couldn’t do…
And it’s Mitt Romney’s fault?
The Union Workers there need to realize that their Union has betrayed them and sold them a bill of bad goods.
All unions have.
Stuff that used to be made in America is now made overseas because of Government Regulations and Unions. And we just reelected a big supporter of both. So don’t be surprised when we see more and more layoffs.
Huh…
