Susan & I weren’t able to attend, but my sister and her fiancee were able to catch Mark looking like Ryan Seacrest and behaving like Joan Rivers. There’s a couple more snapshots on Flickr.
I snagged the pics from my soon-to-be brother in law, Brian, who blogged all about it on: Live from Rodney Drive.

The Beatles inspired musical Across the Universe seems to have split the critics between love and hate. One scene you won’t find them discussing takes place within the first 20 minutes of the nearly 3 hour film. It’s my brother Mark’s second time on the big screen, this time in a significantly smaller role credited simply as “football player”. With no lines and less than thirty seconds of camera time, I’m amazed I managed to snap a photo at just the right moment.

My cable bill has been a consistent $145 a month and I really think it’s time to scale back. I whipped up a little spreadsheet to see my potential savings over the next 7 months, my time frame for packing up & moving east.
The savings quickly adds up:

Usually, if I physically rent a movie from my local blockbuster I need to remember to remove it from my Blockbuster.com rental queue. To my suprise, when I went to do just that I was welcomed with this little screen that says “Hey, you just rented this, maybe you’d like to remove it from your queue.” Why yes Blockbuster, I would – and please do this for me in the future!
By the way, as you might expect, I think I love My Wife isn’t very good, even if you are a Chris Rock fan.

If you’ve got young ones in the house, drop them in front of Slime Across America on Nickelodeon, M-F 5-7. One of the hosts is a tall goofy guy on his way to the top. Your child may find him entertaining.
Check out the Slime Across America bio page which I had no idea existed because the flash would never load (thanks Jody).
Interesting tidbit: Lily, another one of the hosts, is Phil Collins’ daughter.

Anderson Cooper’s mother. Who knew? Insane family history, including a brother who jumped from a 14th story window killing himself in front of his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt.
-
Arbus’ photograph “Identical Twins” is tenth on the list of most expensive photographs having sold in 2004 for $478,400. To gain credibility, she took photos of Gloria Vanderbilt’s son, Anderson Cooper.

“Turning her back on her wealthy, established family, Diane Arbus (Kidman) falls in with Lionel Sweeney (Downey Jr.), an enigmatic mentor who introduces Arbus to the marginalized people who help her become one of the most revered photographers of the twentieth century.” – IMDB
While at times the pace of this film does slow a bit, Fur is a uniquely creative journey in storytelling. Using a single fictional character, we see the real Arbus become inspired to turn her lens on societies often overlooked members.

Ant should not be a “talent scout”. I believe that in order to scout for talent, you yourself should be in possession of some. When Last Comic Standing announced Ant, a very forgettable runner up from a couple seasons ago, I thought for sure this season would be a disaster. The next 15 minutes of the show didn’t help matters. They showcase the worst of the worst right off the bat. Perhaps it’s to keep the general public watching? To kind of trick them into thinking this is some kind of American Idol or America’s got talent train wreck show? I’m not sure.

On June 21st, at 8:30pm at Rockefeller center, you can do just that:

It’s tough to be creative on the web. I think the less you’re involved, the easier it is. Or maybe I’ve been spending so much time on the web, that my view of creativity on the web is distorted. Either way, this is a neat site. I think. i’m not sure.

Singing about typing LOL can be funny. In this case, it is. Just the right length too.

After I ditch both Tivo & Netflix, they make some pretty large announcements (the Netflix one is so old, I won’t be linking to it).
Tivo, Amazon offer video downloads.
In reality, I wouldn’t buy anything from Amazon Unbox anyway, and surely these things will be leaps & bounds better in a year or so.
