Pixar's Ratatouille

I saw it last night.

Truly a brilliant film. It doesn't try to wow us. It tells a simple, charming story, and it tells it convicingly.

It may have been the most faithful portrait of the perfectionist chef with the furious muse, and it's a CGI rat.

One thing I like about Pixar is that it usually doesn't grab huge names to voice its actors like Dreamworks does. When you watch one of those films, you're not listening to the character. You're listening to Jack Black, or Angelina Jolie, or Eddie Murphy or Justin Timberlake.

Ratatouille doesn't have big-name voices because the character is more important, and it's the character they want to sell, not the actor.

It's a cute film. I was very impressed with the physical comedy (Linguine's clumsiness never gets old because they don't draw it out too much.) Pixar's attention to detail is outstanding. They did their homework, consulting with chefs everywhere to make all the details correct.

This is an excellent film. Go see it. Pixar hasn't made a bad film yet.

I can't stop watching this video

Greatest billboard ever.

I love Louisiana. I know it's cut off (the picture, not Louisiana.) Click on the picture for a full view.

I will review your music!

I know what I'm going to do with Music Is Way Cool. I'm going to review music people submit. I'm going to review all of it. I'll have a schedule for reviewing music, and I'll make sure all of it gets reviewed. I'll even give the submitter a courtesy call as to when the music will get reviewed. Cool, huh?

Bad Song Remorse

I think my new album 2009 is good, but "Revenge" sucks. You know it, I know it, my mom knows it, my dad knows it, everybody knows it.

It didn't belong on the album. I shouldn't have been lazy. I should have continued on making more music.

Now, my feeling is that I want to replace it. The question is, would people miss it? Should I let it sit there and let it continue to mock me? Should I leave it there as a reminder that I should avoid trying to make something scary?

I guess I have "Bad Song Remorse". I don't want to do what George Lucas did and fuck up "Star Wars", but my music isn't Star Wars. Maybe I should change it. But if I keep changing my stuff, what's real?

Wow.

The best song on the Space Jam soundtrack. Yup. Even better than "I Believe I Can Fly"

Things you can learn on Youtube.

1. The best possible soundtrack for any video is the phrase "three words for you: you can suck my dick" on loop.

2. "You can suck my dick" is actually three words.

3. The Steelers won three Super Bowls with concentration camp victims.

4. The New York Yanks are actually a football team comprised entirely of black douchebags who also like the Washington Nationals.

5. Biggie (RIP), despite being notoriously obese, is a better athletic trainer than Michael Jackson (RIP), who, when alive, could really bust a move.

6. THE STEELERS ARE NAZIS.

7. Benjamin Franklin was afraid of swine flu. He also liked money.

8. THE STEELERS WERE BEHIND 9/11. Those bastards!!!!

Don't forget to take notes. I'll quiz you on this tomorrow.

I was the first to vote on an ESPN SportsNation poll!

Check it out. Only one vote. Mine. BOOYAH!!!

I think I'm taking sports just a bit too seriously.

LSU lost last night, and it was even worse than watching the other team hit five home runs. It was watching your team struggle on the mound to a true ace pitcher.

In frustration, I threw a remote across the basement. It doesn't work anymore. Now I'm starting to wonder if sports is worth all the anxiety.
