So... I Finally Watched Jersey Girl

I have been an avid Kevin Smith fan since the first time I listened to SModcast.  Since then, I have managed to collect just about every movie Kevin Smith was involved in, from Clerks to Fanboys for his small appearance.  There was still one movie missing from my Kevin Collection, Jersey Girl.  I had been reluctant to buy it or even watch it because of all the bad things I've heard about it. 

Then yesterday, as if it were a sign from god himself, I stumbled upon a used copy of Jersey Girl for $6.99 at the local Beat Goes On.  I pondered about the pros and cons of buying a potentially terrible movie:

Pros:
1. Would look good in my Kevin Smith Collection.
2. There is a small chance it might actually be good.

Cons:
1. If what I've heard is correct, it is a terrible movie.
2. I was really hungry at that particular moment, and was planning on going to Subway with the $10 I had.

I ended up purchasing the movie, and later that night popped it in the dvd player.

Long story short, I loved it! Not only did the movie look fantastic compared to Smith's earlier work, but I found myself tearing up during a couple parts of the film.  If it weren't for the teenage fans of Kevin's that just want dick and fart jokes, and the people who for some reason couldn't stand seeing Affleck and Lopez together, Smith would have seen the praise he deserves for his work on this film.

P.S.  I'm very happy with my decision to skip Subway.

Real Ginger Brew

I know!  I couldnt believe it myself, apparently Japan holds a large scale brewing company that mixes red heads in with their hops and malts.

Avatar & Why It Sucked

JAMES CAMERON'S

That is believed to have been the font style that Cameron himself wanted on the dvds. Thus cementing the "fact" that he was the sole contributor to making this movie. FUCK HIM!

Throw Cameron's ego aside, and what you have is a very good looking "movie".  The quotation marks help to explain that while I believe the blue indian chick is rather attractive, I can't find the plot of this movie.  Oh wait... there it is, after about an hour and a half of Cameron thrusting his world into our faces and saying look how pretty it is, a little bit of plot shows up. However, by this point Im already asleep. 

P.S. Fuck you again James Cameron.

I Have Red Hair

I have red hair. For this reason I have been singled out as a ginger, who according to South Park has no soul.  This shouldnt bother me, but I must admit it sort of does. It's not that I'm some kind of religious freak that feels having a soul is so damned important, I actually don't believe there is such a thing.

What bothers me the most is that before the south park episode aired, really the only 'insults' we Reds would face is being labeled a 'Carrot Top' or 'Fire Crotch'. These were easy to combat, because, well... I believe the red accents my cock and balls very nicely, and also when some body called me carrot top, I'd simply reply with, "Oh yeah, well your hair's the same colour as the shit I took this morning!" This would work 90% of the time in grade 3 because there weren't many blondes in my class.

So, once I found being called a ginger to be annoying, I tried to do the black thing, and claim the word as my own, as in "Bitch, that's our word."  For about one week that's what I said, until I finally realized that in the long run it would make no difference. I couldn't suddenly create a separate race for red heads, because after all it would simply lead to more racism.

After silently bitching about all this for months and secretly filling up with rage when Im referred to as a daywalker, something changed.  I had remembered everything I had learned in kindergarten about sticks and stones.  I repeated the old saying in my head a few times, and came out feeling better about it all.

So, in conclusion, words are just words so grow a sense of humour...  oh and fuck you Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
