Because I said so!

GI Joe - Cheesiest of the cheese. Nothing like watching a movie where there's nothing but sci-fi power suits, ninjas, and a whole hell of a lot of ass whopping.

French government wouldn't let them do a chase scene in Paris? They can just CGI the whole damn thing and blow alot of vehicles up in the process!

Total guy flick ... very little story ... related note ... I reconized the red haired girl in GI Joe. She played the Orion in Star Trek ... go figure, I remember the chick in the bra and underwear from Star Trek ...

District 9 - Holy crap awesome. That is all.

"They say good speeches are like mini-skirts. Short enough to be interesting but long enough to cover the essentials."

Best line to open with at a wedding where you're delivering the Toast to the Bride speech to a crowd of 50 people where only 5 of them you know. And of those 5 ... its been over 6 years since you seen them last.

So, what does one do when he arrives at a reception where he knows practically no one ... (the family of your friend that you're giving the speech for ... only the parents like me ... the brothers never really cared for me) and a open bar?

That's right ... sit at the table closest to the bar and spend the night tugging on the bartender's dress to ask for a drink. I did have to re-write my speech on the fly though ... I can't compete with the epic statement delivered by the grooms grandmother of 'JESUS IS COMING!'

Yes. Seriously .... she said that ... and told a story about how a friend of hers picked up a hitchhiker ... who said that then disappeared ...

So, you can see why I had to spruce up my speech...

Another one of the grandpa's from the groom's side ... My god his voice was something ... he had a really long ... god-filled speech ... but all I could do was imagine his voice reading the Lord of the Rings books outloud ... like, seriously ... voice over guy has nothing to the sound of this mans voice.

My speech went really good. The bride even started to tear up as I got into my mushy part ... although before hand I was talking about how freakishly tall she was when I first met her and how she never did lose the whole 'lost puppy' look.

It was a good weekend ... Now I got to go see Inglorious Basterds.
