iTunes, Movies, and Other Stuff

So far most of what I've read about Van Helsing has been baaaad news. Even the fanboys aren't biting on this one. I'm still going to check it out.

Big Fish came out on DVD this week. I'm buying it when I get back from Coachella. Speaking of Coachella, I really hope those Radiohead cancellation rumors aren't true. It's coming down to the wire and there's no official word, so hopefully they are on.

iTunes 4.5 is available for download. They're giving away a different free track every day this week. Today was Avril Lavigne, but there are some decent artists on the upcoming freebie list. My favorite feature is the ability to watch movie trailers and music videos in iTunes through the music store. With our T1 connection here, those things load up in no time.

Darren Aranofsky is slated to direct the Watchmen movie. This is exciting. If you haven't read Watchmen, do it now. Even if you've never read a comic book before in your life.

That's all I got for now. I'm not feeling to well. I think I'm going to go to bed early. I don't think I've been getting enough sleep. I have a plane to catch tomorrow, so I better rest up.

Pat Tillman

Hippy Dave’s random ravings: quick thought

I totally agree with Dave's thoughts on the news coverage surrounding Pat Tillman's death. They're treating the guy like a celebrity soldier, and that's just not right.

Funny Tech Support Stuff

Computer Stupidities: Miscellaneous Dumbness

My favorite:

# Tech Support: "Which format are the images you send?"
# Customer: "Rectangular, 15x11 centimeters."

# Tech Support: "What does the screen say now?"
# Customer: "It says, 'Hit ENTER when ready'."
# Tech Support: "Well?"
# Customer: "How do I know when it's ready?"

I don't know what this article actually says because my internet is being stupid.  Sounds interesting though.

No Indy 4?

Indiana Jones Back on Shelf (E! Online) E! Online - Indiana Jones can hang up his hat and put the whip back in storage because it doesn't look like he's making a return to the big screen any time soon.

Bummer.  I'm also testing out the blog client in NewzCrawler.

Testing w.bloggar

I'm testing to make sure w.bloggar works.

Not much else is going on. I read Brian Bendis' Fortune and Glory. It's a graphic novel about Bendis' adventures in Hollywood. Great stuff. I really love the guy's comics. His run on Daredevil is really great. Powers is definitely one of my favorite books I've read so far. I really want to read Torso. It's about the true story of Elliott Ness chasing after the first serial killer on American soil. Yeah, that's right. I'm turning into a comic book geek now too.
