What A Slacker!

Check Out Stephen King’s Latest Film - The Mist

Add comment November 8th, 2007

There’s a new Stephen King film coming out, The Mist. It is about this guy and his kid who get trapped inside a store with other members of the town by a really bad fog. And there’s something in the mist that is picking them off one by one.

I saw the trailer the other night it looks really creepy. I hate fog. Not knowing what could be just a few feet away from you is really scary. I was stuck in traffic in a bad fog once. The traffic could not move faster than a couple miles per hour. When you let your imagination run away with you all sorts of things start crawling out of that mist. Guess that’s where great writers like Stephen King make their mark. While I was sitting there I had rapists and murders coming out of nowhere and jumping in the car with me. I could not wait to get out of there. Being in the car by myself at least I did have to deal with others who I thought were my friends like the guy in The Mist.

So if you want to scare yourself silly check out the trailer for the new film The Mist by Stephen King then drive through a thick fog late at night and wonder what’s out there with you.

 In theaters November 21st.

Now Wal-Mart Has Gone and Done It! New Releases No Longer on Sale!

Add comment November 7th, 2007

For the past two weeks Walmart has really, really pissed me off. I stopped by on Tuesday the October 31st to pick up a copy of Spider-man 3. That was the release date and they advertise the newest releases at unbeatable prices or something like that. But it is a big ole lie. I grabbed Spidey off the shelf and headed to the check out. Got there and it rang up at full price! It is always on sale on release week. So I left the DVD at the checkout assuming they forgot to mark it down because they were too busy with their Halloween parade the store was having that night. What a nightmare!

So I called around [there are three other Wal-marts and a Target in the area]. It was on sale every where except that one Wal-mart. So I went the next night and got it for the $14.99 I was expecting to get it for the night before.

I made the mistake of heading to the same Wal-mart the next week for the November 6th release of Ratatouille. And once again this particular Wal-Mart did not have the new releases on sale any longer. WTF? I had my niece with my and I was going to buy two. I asked her if she minded waiting and I would buy them somewhere else on sale. Heck ten bucks is ten bucks. She said it was okay so we left the DVDs sit on the shelf. But this time [as they weren’t doing anything] I asked whether or not the new releases were on sale any more. He said, “Corporate decided they did not have to have them on sale any more since they don’t have any local competition.” Hello! There is a blockbuster next door and 3 more Wal-marts within twenty minutes of the place. Doesn’t this almost smack of price gouging when every other store including other Wal-marts offer a discount the first week a movie is released? Just because there is not another store within 5 minutes of them does not mean they should gouge us for the extra ten dollars on an item being sold in other Walmart stores at a discounted price.

Well I know I will not be buying my DVDs from that particular Wal-mart any more. Most likely I won’t even bother stopping there for anything any longer. I hope they will see a drastic drop in new release sales [I am sure they probably already did]. Guess I will head to Target next week for the release of Shrek 3!

Terminators Coming Soon to Your TV

Add comment November 2nd, 2007

Finally, FOX has set a premiere date for The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It will premiere on January 14th, 2008. I have been jonesing for this since I first heard about it. The have since changed the name to include TERMINATOR [unlike Paramount when they first brought us Enterprise. What were they thinking leaving out the draw of Star Trek? Same thing here.]

The show is now called TERMINATOR: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It picks up sometime after Terminator 2 Judgment Day. So we get to see some Terminators getting there butts kicked. It stars Lena Headey as Sarah and Thomas Dekker as John. You have seen her in 300 and him in Heroes. So put 1/14/08 on your calendar. I just hate that it is taking so dang long to finally see this show.

Parking in NY City is a Real Bitch

Add comment November 2nd, 2007

If you have ever been to New York City you know that getting around the city can be a big pain. If you have your own car then not only do you have to deal with the traffic but with parking as well. And that is a real bitch. So you found a spot or garage but the cost is out the wazoo. Last time we were there we paid $40 for an hour and a half! A great alternative to all the trouble and expense of dealing with your own vehicle in the city is Dial 7 Car & Limousine Service. They will take the hassle out of getting around the city, to the airport or anywhere in the tri-state area.

Their car service is affordable and reliable. Whether you need limo service Brooklyn, NY or Newark, NJ they’ll be there for you and on time too.
