Nothing really worth writing about. I don’t even have any interesting beef jerky and Michael Jackson fueled dreams<\/a> to discuss.<\/p>\n

(Possible addition to The Rules Of the Gunfight: Never bring beef jerky to a gunfight.)<\/p>\n

Speaking of being quiet, is it just me, or did the NBA have their All-Star Game this past weekend<\/a>…to massive public indifference? I don’t think there was even a FARK Sports tab thread.<\/p>\n

Two random movie related notes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’ve pretty much reached the limit of my tolerance for the trailer for “Cheap Thrills<\/a>“, as well as the movie itself. I don’t care if it marks me as an old man; I’ve already fully embraced my old man status, and I’m just tired of movies about horrible people doing horrible things to other people.<\/li>\n
  2. Dear Tim League: I totally get that you like Wes Anderson movies. I, personally, would not have made 4% of my desert island movie list<\/a> Wes Anderson films; I’m not even sure a Wes Anderson film would be in my top 100. But de gustibus non est disputandum.
    \nAnd the trailer for “The Grand Budapest Hotel” does look interesting; it almost seems like Wes Anderson trying to do his own version of “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?” It is possible that I’ll actually pay money to see this at the Drafthouse. (I’m not sure if it helps or hurts the cause that I accidentally stumbled across and read a complete plot synopsis online. Even after that, I’m still not sure what Harvey Keitel is doing in this movie.)
    \nBut could we please<\/strong> lose your interminable introduction to the frigging trailer<\/strong>, for crying out loud? Hand to God, I think your introduction is as long as the trailer itself. Put it on YouTube or something, but don’t make me sit through it again. Let the trailer stand on its own.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
