Hellboy
0Biggest waste of 13.50 plus tax I’ve seen in a while.
But seriously, yeah, I didn’t enjoy it. Sad, because I was really looking forward to it, but what can you do. The un-needed occult stuff the whole time was the main thing that put me off, other than the fact that I was just plain bored. So much so, that I actually walked out. First movie I’ve actually walked out of.
So yeah, if you want to see it, go ahead, but I don’t recommend it. Ladykillers is better.
The Ladykillers
0Just got in from seeing The Ladykillers, staring Tom Hanks.
Oh man… that’s the first thing you can say, lol. It’s really bizarre… along the lines of Oh, Brother Where Art Thou bizarre, but it’s clever and heisty along the lines of Ocean’s Eleven clever and heisty. But at the end of the day, it’s its own film, staring a great actor, with a solid group of supporting actors, and is very funny. The language was a little stronger than I had anticipated, but it wasn’t a huge deal.
Tom Hanks is still and will always be, the bomb.
The Man of Steel
0By far my favourite superhero has to be Superman. In the last year Batman has risen from near last to second place, or so. Thus, the comic Superman Batman is quite a read. For those in the know… Luthor recently got put out of office. Huge!
Anyway… if you follow this link, you’ll come to an online copy of Action Comics #1!
I love how Superman as a character is so much less complicated and confused. And so much less politically correct. He rips off nuff doors to get to truth, justice and the American Way. Superman today is sometimes a little too softhearted in my opinion.
Looking forward to new episodes of Smallville. I think we’re only two weeks away.
What to look for in a church
0Here’s an amusing article found by the legendary Gaza himself. To be honest, I don’t know if I would really want my church packed with sexy ladies, I think things would just be too distracting.
But it would definitely be cool to have a little moment of understanding like that with a pastor. I’ve had moments like that when I’ve been inside a mascot costume (used to work for a baby clothing line) and I’ve meet another mascot. You both know, that you don’t know if the other one is a guy or a girl, but you know that you’re both tired, and you’re getting sick of hugging kids, and you’re terrified that you will drop the baby that you’re holding.
Anyway, you don’t know what I’m talking about. Read.
I’d like pews that are more like the theater seats…you know, where you can raise or lower the armrests and even recline a little. I’d really like that.
I want to feel appreciated. Maybe a statue in my honor…or just a simple plaque on the wall. I think a personalized parking place may be a little much, but it would help me to feel appreciated.
Again, I’d still like to see more sexy people in churches. Like, is there a supermodel church or something? That would really be my kind of thing. Actually, it could just be sexy women. I don’t really want my wife (who is a sexy woman) looking at sexy men…especially during church.
Fewer anouncements. I mean, did Jesus make anouncements? I don’t think that’s WWJD material. Heck, let’s just go with no anouncements. That’s probably a more Scriptural approach.
Some type of free work-out facility. Gyms these days cost too much money. That’s my excuse. I’m certain that if I had a church that had a free work-out facility I would actually do it and be a healthier person. That would also help me to fit in with the other sexy church goers.
I want a pastor who understands me. That would probably lead to him appreciating me more (see above desire). And that way when he’s preaching he could look at me and we could exchange those knowing glances…maybe even wink at each other. YOu know, like we’ve got some kind of inside joke.
Some type of chocolate covered almond candy…I really like chocolate and almonds.
Also… fewer people that I don’t like. People I don’t like bug me.
Donuts – The good kind. With the frosting put on just right. To much glaze makes me sick and distracts me from worshipping properly. Bagels might be a better alternative to the sexy church… but if there is a free work out room I can always spend a few more minutes on the stairmaster.
Excitement – I think there should be hand clapping, people who don’t like hand clapping need to lighten up. Hand clapping may be the sole reason God gave us hands. That and the Michealangelo painting on the ceiling of that one place over in that foreign place. Yes enthusiasm is important. as long as noone gets to happy. I dont want any blues brothers churches services.
I also think that there’s a benefit to spending money to go to the gym, cause then you are more motivated to go to that gym, so as the money doesn’t go to waste. But, I don’t know. Gyms are very expensive.
What if you went to the gym and had a trainer named Jim? Or even, The Jim. Hahaha, what a crazy guy he would have to be.
Mysterious Ways
0They say God works in mysterious ways. He does.
As you may or may not know I’m producing and starring in a film this summer entitled Burwash Prison. Written and directed by Russell Montgomery, who is cool. So we had been planning to film this film at his Grandmother’s cottage, but unfortunately we couldn’t go ahead with that. So I talked to one of the big bosses at work (TACF) about shooting the film at our church campground. We would pay rental on the cottages, like anyone else would, and because the campground is for sale, no one else would be using it.
He said that would be fine. So I was very glad, and told Russell, and all was good. Until yesterday. Yesterday shortly after telling one of my bosses (I have two direct bosses, then other big bosses) that we would be shooting the film there, he told me that we would probably not be able to, due to a whole host of issues that had come up with the campground. He suggested though that I talk to the big boss I had talked to before about it, to get a final word. So everything was bad. Until today.
It was funny, when he told me that we probably not be able to use the campsite, my spirit really balked at it. Quite profoundly too, so I prayed about it and then went to see the aforementioned big boss.
He said…
“Due to various regulations for the running of campgrounds and rental properties, you will not be able to pay us. You can go up and use the cottages, but if you pay us, then you will be classed as a camp, and that’s were all our troubles lie. So no worries, as long as you do NOT pay us anything.”
So God works in mysterious ways. Mysterious ways that save us alot of money.

Manna
0Spent some time praying with my family last night, mostly to do with our financial situation. We hadn’t prayed together in a while, so it was nice to do it.
Following that, I retired early, and asked the Lord for a scripture. I said, quite simply, “Father, give me a word, something for my life, not just for now, but about my life in general.”
I felt to look up Joel 2:19. It reads :
“The LORD will reply to them:
‘I am sending you grain, new wine and oil,
enough to satisfy you fully;
never again will I make you
an object of scorn to the nations.’ “
Enough to satisfy you fully! How’s that for encouragement! I went and shared it with my parents immediately – they were very glad. Father you are a god of abundant blessing and provision.
“Bring out yer dead!”
0So, just stumbled across an interesting thing.
Gives new meaning to the term, “A Working Stiff.”
GTA – Kiddy Version
0Man, worst news ever. The next Grand Theft Auto title will be GTA : Port-au-Prince, and will have an E rating!
Or will it…

More April Fool’s mayhem. This is my favourite one so far. Other than Jeremy’s.
Note – (April 3rd. As you will no doubt notice, that link no longer works. Sorry, but I guess Gamespot got tired of answering stupid e-mails about stupid GTA Kiddy Version)
EndEffect goes live!
0At last! I’v been waiting for so friggin long for them to relaunch. To be quite honest, I don’t know what they were doing all this time, because the new site design isn’t that impressive, and Precurser doesn’t have too many new graphics.
But that’s not the point. The point is, they’re back, so I get more desktop wallpapers. Cause no one makes them better than EndEffect.
Hmmm… unless this is all a sly April Fool’s joke, and someone has placed false webpages into my IE Cache…
Oh, yeah, IE. Mozilla has Fired it’s last Fox, for me anyway. It’s a nice fast browser, and the plugins work better than Opera, but it seems to have alot of layout proplems, including CSS issues. And IE launches quicker. So goodbye sleazy Fox…
