Well, I didn't make it to Tears of the Sun this weekend. I'm now thinking I'll see it on the way home from work on Wednesday.

But after Old School last week I did pop Made into the DVD player yesterday. I swear, Vince Vaughn plays the most annoying person ever in that movie. There have certainly been more annoying characters in movies, but this one actually seemed like it could be a real person (granted, an exagerrated person) as opposed to total fabrications like the guys in Dumb and Dumber. It's painful to watch since he's totally out of his league and completely ignores the instructions he's given - although I'm sure he thinks he's "improving" on them. Anyway, I enjoyed it, and Puffy does a good job as well (suprisingly.)

I expect to watch a bunch of movies over the next week or two since the networks aren't showing new content now. Sweeps week ends and they all just shut down, it's terrible. They really should use some more intelligent means of calculating viewership then just a one week sample, it's not like they don't collect the data all the time anyway. It always seemed weird to me that networks get to brag about their sweeps ratings when a lot of the stuff they show isn't even their regular programming. They bust out all the specials and big movies, giving a totally inaccurate look at how many people actually watch their programming on a weekly basis. But I guess it doesn't matter that much in the end. It was just something I was thinking about today.

Lastly, I have to thank Gizmodo.com for a link to this bad boy. Absolute and total ridiculousness - but I can't say it wouldn't be on my list if I had unlimited funds for toys.

Still want more?
