    I can't believe I've never done this before
    But if I go to the roof of my apartment building I can see eight Fourth-of-July fireworks displays at the same time.
    Nine, if you count the idiot launching bottle rockets off Hollywood Boulevard.

    Before you all go forth on your Fourth of July weekend...
    Here are some words of wisdom from Denis Leary.

    Don't drink and drive, you stupid bastards.

    7 words you can't say when you're DEAD
    George Carlin has always been one of my favorite comedians. I just saw his latest HBO special, It's Bad For Ya, and at 71 he's still sharp as a tack... that is, until today when he died of heart failure.

    When he was young, he had a "cranky old man" character. Then he became the cranky old man character! The stuff he did was so smart that to me he wasn't really a comedian... he often crossed over into the realm of philosopher.

    I suppose I don't have to tell you that this clip is NSFW:

    Farewell George. You were one of the good ones.

    Two-line Movie Review: The Incredible Hulk
    The problem with a surprise twist ending such as the one presented in this flick is that you can get trapped in the "Search For Spock" syndrome, whereby no sequel can be released without spoiling the end of this picture for those that haven't seen it.

    But much like Iron Man, the strength of this picture is not the special effects - it's the lead actor.

    Sad for Cyd
    Cyd Charisse, my first celebrity crush, passed away today. She was 87. Or 86, the papers aren't sure.
    Here she is with Fred.

    Still my favorite Daily Show clip
    August 15th, 2006: Samuel L. Jackson is on to promote his latest, Snakes on a Plane.
    I have never seen an actor happier to be in a movie. That's what makes this clip great.

    The film clip they're talking about at the beginning is of course the "I have had it with these motherf*cking snakes on this motherf*cking plane!" clip.

    Two-Line Movie Review: War, Inc.
    Clever script, very funny, socially conscious, John Cusack starred, produced and co-wrote so it's apparently something he feels strongly about. An unintended consequence: stepping out of the theater after the picture back onto the street, I noticed Hollywood Blvd suddenly seemed a lot more aggressive.

    Bullsh*t!
    Season Five of Penn & Teller's fantastic Showtime show has been released on DVD, which made me happy... and then sad.

    It's kinda sad that if you want really honest investigative reporting these days you have to go to Penn and Teller, a pair of self-professed professional con men. This isn't even their primary gig, they have a highly successful magic show in Las Vegas. They do this because they want to!

    LP says check it out.

    I'm watching Obama speak
    He is doing something bizarre and unusual that I've never seen any candidate do - he is referring to his opponents with dignity and respect.

    I haven't decided yet whether that's going to be a strength or a weakness for him.
