February 10 Lots of words, but nothing to sayYou know what's really fun? Blogging when you have nothing important or relevant or, well - I can't even think of another word here - to say. So for fun, here's just some random thoughts:
Scott February 04 Ticket to HideMy mom is a see-a-movie-once kind of gal. Me, I have a stable that I can go back to time and again - some titles come and some go from that list, but if I like a film, I can sit through it a gazillion times ("Ghostbusters," "Star Wars," "Ocean's Eleven," "Get Shorty," "LA Confidential," recently "Layer Cake"). That's a lot for you folks who didn't major in higher mathematics. But when you surf enough cablewaves as I do, you're apt to swim across a handful of the same ol' Hollywood chestnuts. So here's a short list of movies I really don't care if I ever see again:
And seriously, nothing against Whoopi or Patrick Swayze. "Sister Act" absolutely made me laugh and the music is great, but I'm okay if I don't tune it in again. Never really liked the other three anyhow, so there you go. I almost put "The Silence of the Lambs," but didn't. The first "Superman" film too. Maybe it's because whenever it's on, it's always the part where he does that do-over move by flying around the planet and making it spin backwards. I don't know what it is - have I seen these movies SO many times that I know what's coming up and just want it to be over? But what about "Ghostbusters" and "Star Wars"? Maybe it's because I grew up with those movies and they take me back to my childhood. More nostalgia than anything else. I know the Death Star's gonna blow, so why watch for the gazillionth and one time? Maybe because everytime I see it explode, I also remember watching a television show every Sunday night about making movies hosted by Tom Bosley that used the Death Star explosion during its credit sequence. Every time I watch the Ghostbusters march into that hotel to take on Slimer, I remember thinking I could make a cool jumpsuit like that and did and wore it two Halloween's in a row. Maybe every guy wants to look and dress as cool as Danny Ocean or Chili Palmer. On the other hand, I n ever met a guy who stood on his car and sang "Greased Lightning." Or spun a pottery wheel, for that matter.
Scott February 02 Hanging the ShingleWelcome to the new home of our humble "Fien Beat." God bless the folks at AOL, but dial-up is so 20th century, man. And Road Runner ... well, let's just say by costing an arm and a leg, that leaves me with just one arm and one leg and I wasn't too coordinated when I had the full set. So when we made the ISP switchover to Frontier, we got the boot from AOL's hometown pages, so the Beat goes on here at MSN. Let's hope updates come faster and more furious than at the old place. Yeah, that rant about Sam from the first season of "The Apprentice" was so timely, was it not? Geez, that little piece of bloggage had the shelf life of mutton on a sunny day.
Hopefully, we'll get some pictures of our Spenser boy up on the page sometime soon and stay a little more relevant. Now, about this crazy Runaway Bride - have you heard about her???
