Flablog has the rundown on Florida Governor Charlie Crist?s engagement to one Carole Rome, described as an MBA, with experience working as an auditor and as a realtor, at Shall I never see a bachelor of threescore again? including many people asking the obvious question. It?s hard not to be cynical about the sudden engagement of a man whose primary obstacle to the Republican Vice-Presidential nomination are the rumors that he?s gay. It seems not everyone has been able to control th

What does this list of movie titles have in common? Independence Day, Bad Boys, Men In Black, Men in Black II, Bad Boys II and I, Robot. With the possible exception of the last of them, all were blockbuster hits. All were released in the summertime. And all were movies in which Will Smith played a star role. I?ve quoted Bob Fraser a number of times on this blog, largely because what he has to say, even though it?s targeted an on-camera and stage performers, is of such practical valu

So. I told you guys my Nebraska gal Stacey has been here for a few days. We have had a good time, mostly, except when we haven't because I am approximately 3004 years old and don't hold up well to social interactions that require leaving the house. The first day she was here we were both low energy, her from a thus far very exciting vacation (chick has been to DC, NY, VA, Cali and now Portland), me from getting little sleep tending to two high maintenance parents. Stimulating, no

Get Ready For Hancock! A new action movie is out in theatres looking to help movie lovers properly start off their summer. The highly anticipated motion picture Hancock, starring popular actor Will Smith, debuted two day ago on July 2 and so far, the reviews have been going both ways, either praising its entertaining 90 minutes or talking about the idea?s potential, completely lost during the process. The movie presents a different kind of superhero, an arrogant, drunk, cynical, w

Gripped by Isaac Asimov or Will Smith's take on I,Robot, either ways you can play around with the film's robots.

Sins of Youth Originally uploaded by redbarrenSo that week is done, what a crescendo. Braindeath upon sleep ! So not sure why I'm reading Harvard Business School while watching the scotch drinking scientology inclined Will Smith $100m 7 box-office weekend openings in a row, Hancock movie. HBS have a nice case study on why social networks only grow so big, but their higher purpose then kicks in. Ok well I'm only step 3 of 12. HBS : "So what will become of the social networks? Well,

A few days ago we threw out what we felt were going to be the five worst offenses in the NFL coming into 2008. Now on the positive side, we?re back to give you the other side of the ball - the defenses, and what five teams are going to have have top notch and the best defenses entering the season. 1. San Diego - The Chargers have a great blend of speed and power, and their three main parts of their defense - D-line, linebackers, and secondary all have playmakers. Shawne Merriman

My youngest son loves to challenge the meaning of every holiday. It's actually pretty enlightening for me. He questioned Halloween and had me believing it made no sense. Why do we go door to door for candy when we can just buy candy, in fact we did buy candy to give to other kids? Why do we have a special day to dress up when he plays dress up many days throughout the year? Why do we want to be scared at haunted houses? Well 2 nights ago he started with the 4th of July. He asked

Megan Smith is having a bad day. Her New York apartment burned down, she just got fired from her job at a tabloid magazine and she accidentally dyed her hair the color of a Blow Pop. Things start to look up when she is offered a position in Palm Beach, working as a tutor for 16-year-old twin billionaires, Rose and Sage Baker. In exchange for getting the girls into Duke University, Megan will get to live amongst the rich and fabulous, and have the remainder of her college loans covere

By Andrew Liszewski I?ve never read Isaac Asimov?s I, Robot, but I can only assume the original book is a lot better than the I, Robot movie starring Will Smith from a few years ago. As I recall, it wasn?t exactly a hit, whether you?re going by critical acclaim or box office take, so I?m kind of surprised that someone actually thinks there?s a demand for a replica bust of the movie?s ?protagonist? robot known as Sonny. The bust features the same opaque outer housing as the NS-5 r

By Debbie Schlussel Happy Independence Day, My Fellow Americans! We've had 232 great years of freedom and liberty. We hope for an endless, infinite number of repeats and an endless supply of freedom and liberty. The more we keep kissing the rears of those who would destroy us (you know, from a certain "Religion of Peace"), the less likely that will be. We must be vigilant in protecting our freedom and the American way of life from interlopers who come here--and a growing number

Once upon a time in a city called New York a band called the New York Dolls were born. They played rock & roll music with attitude, energy and made The Rolling Stones look tame. Unfortunately they were very young and self imploded after a few years. Yet their influence on those who came after them can't be underestimated as you can see traces of them in everyone from the glamour boys to the punks. New York has turned out so many different bands playing so many different types of m
