Some friends at work have been just going off about how great The Davinci Code is. Seriously they go on and on about it. You could hear there orgasms from across the street. Anyway they let me borrow the book and honestly Ive been enjoying it immensly. Im only on page 65 but I'd thought I might give you all a brief run down Justin style. Keep in mind, This post is going to be full of spoilers.
Ok so we start off in the Louvre where this old guy (who I dont know is played by in the movie, lets say Steve Carell) is hanging out just minding his own P's and Q's when this killer ( we'll say played by Jason) shows up and is like "Im going to kill you" and Steve Carell is like " No dont kill me" and Jason says something cool like "Pleasant Dreams Bitch" and he kills Steve Carell
We cut to Tom Hanks sleeping in a hotel room it's like midnight and he just went to sleep an hour ago. He gets a call from the from desk and there like " Cast Away theres someone here to see you" and Tom Hanks is like "thats not my name and tell them to leave a message and I'll call them tomorrow" he than hangs up. Than theres another call and its the front desk again and Tom Hanks is like "What" and the front desk is like "houston we have a problem and he's heading up to your room right now". Tom Hanks than hears a knock and he's like "Fuck". Tom opens the door and this detective guy (we'll say is Johnny Depp) is like "hey theres been a murder" and he shows Tom a picture of the dead body and Toms like "No not Steve Carell lets go".
Than the scene changes to an albino we'll call him "Powder". The albino likes to hurt himself and not only that but he was horribly abused as a child by his parents and so he murdered them, left town and was found by a priest.
So now we cut to the priest leaving New York (we'll say he's Patrick Stewart). Patrick Stewart is a member of Opus Dei which I assume will pay off later lets get back to the louvre. Patrick Stewart is on his way to meet "Powder"
Tom Hanks is now at the Louvre with Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp is like this is Chief from the movie "The Professional". "The Professional" is like come with me we'll shoot the shit and talk about this dead guy. Tom Hanks and "The Professional" look at the body and notice a numeric code and a pentagram symbol I believe drawn in blood layed near the body. I'll have to reread. But the professional is like "thats satanic" and Tom Hanks is like "no it's spiritual from before Christ" . Than Tom Hanks tries to attack the christians by talking about all there cover ups but "The Professional" aint haven it. He's like "Christians are good people yada yada yada" . Than "Amelie" shows up and shes the cryptographer. She hands Tom Hanks her phone and has him listen to a message she had specially made for him that says " your in trouble get the fuck outa dodge" .
Oh I forgot to mention that Johnny Depp is listening in on every word Tom Hanks is saying.
Thats as far as I've gotten. Good Slimes.

Im fine from the accident. Just a little shook up. Just letting you know.
By: Jeans Pants | Tuesday, March 28, 2006 at 11:52 PM | |
So tonight I left work at about 10:20 pm, woo hoo that means 15 minutes of OT, and it had just finished raining. As I drove onto the on ramp I turned my wheel in the direction of the road toward the highway only the car didn't turn with it. My car skidded straight toward the curb only to be followed by a loud impact. So Im there in the dark on the on ramp where a car could easily speed around the corner and hit me. I took a look at the wheel and was shocked it wasn't flat. So I hopped back into the car and drove home in the slow lane.
I had Mollye come outside with a flashlight and she noticed the rims are dented pretty back and the wheel looks like it's pushed into the rim. So we went into the apartment and called the insurance company. The guy on the phone was really nice. He asked alot of questions and told me the Pasadena branch will be calling me in the morning. Mollye and I aren't going to drive the car until we get things figured out and fixed. It looks like the tire could pop at any time. So it goes without saying (but I'll say it anyways) Im a little nervous.
Now For the part of the post where I talk about S-A-D or Save Arrested Development. Mollye was on the phone to talk to the claims guy for a bit and I decided to browse the internet to maybe cheer myself up or maybe get my mind off things I dont know. I read off of IGN.com that It looks for sure that Arrested Develoment won't be returning. It appeared that Showtime was going to pick it up but now Mitch Hurwitz the creator and producer has quit the show. In fact here I'll cut and paste the article. So heres where I'll leave you with the article b Eric Goldman. Goodnight.
In a very depressing bit of news for my fellow
Arrested Development fans, series creator Mitch Hurwitz has decided not to return to run the series, despite Showtime's offer to pick the show up. This move very likely means that the chances of the series continuing are over. For months now there has been a lot of speculation about the negotiations with Showtime for the beloved but ratings challenged series to move to the cable channel from its previous home on Fox. Many reports had also noted that Hurwitz was feeling burnt out and might not want to continue on, and that without him, the possibilities of
Arrested continuing were slim.
Hurwitz has now confirmed to
Variety his decision to leave the series. There have reportedly been some arguments over money issues between Hurwitz and 20th Century
Fox, who produces
Arrested, and financial aspects may have played a part in Hurwitz's decision. However, more than anything, Hurwitz said he simply felt unable to give his all to the series anymore. Commenting on the loyal following the show has, Hurwitz told
Variety, "The fans have been so ardent in their devotion and in return I've given everything I can to the show in order to try to live up to their expectations. I finally reached a point where I felt I couldn't continue to deliver that on a weekly basis."
While the article notes that executive producer/series narrator Ron Howard has asked Hurwitz to remain connected to the show as a consultant should it continue without him, the chances of that happening seem extremely unlikely. Showtime head Bob Greenwalt had previously stated that he would not want the series without Hurwitz. Even more damaging to the show finding another home is executive producer Jim Valleley, who plays a key creative role in the series, saying he wouldn't continue on the show without Hurwitz remaining too. Sad to say, but it's likely time to really say goodbye to the Bluth family. While Hurwitz's decision is an extremely frustrating one for those of us who'd love the show to continue, the idea of it going on without him also seems highly questionable.

My Dad left my family about 4 years ago. No one has seen or heard from him. The only way I know he's alive is that every birthday and Christmas he sends me a card with a 100 dollar money order in it. He never leaves a return address on the envelopes.
Recently it has come to my attention that a credit card my dad got in both our names when I turned 18 hasn't been paid in a few months. Thats annoying seeing since theres over 3000 dollars on it and it has been sent to a collection agency. I only found this out because Mollye did credit reports under both our names and it would appear that this is the only bad credit aI have in my name.
So my birthday was last week and I hadn't recieved a card. As a result I got a little worried. Was my dad dead? Did something happen to him? But low and behold today it arrived with 100 dollars. Maybe I'll put it towards this credit card I havent seen in 9 years.
I dont want to get too personal but I will say that my parents both destroyed there marriage. It's just too bad my dad thought the only way out was to run away and not face his demons. My father also had a habit of getting me in debt by forging my signatures to loans I didnt know existed. Even though I don't have alot of good memory's with my dad, In fact I found myself trying to stay away from him and his moods, I do still miss him and love him.
My parents stayed together my whole life so my brother and I could live a happy healthy life. Believe me when I say my brother and myself's life would have been alot happier if they had gotten a divorce. Last time I saw him he wasn't a very thin and healthy man. Sometimes I picture him somewhere really sad realizing he's made a horrible mistake just walking out. I was going to post a picture of my card he sent me. It's one of those sappy hallmark ones that are suppose to express how you feel. At the bottom he wrote Love Dad. I think I will just keep this to myself.
I think to myself, sometimes once a day, that maybe I'll recieve a phone call telling me he's died. I dread that day. Im not sure how I'd feel. I might feel crazy if that makes sense. I just want to see him at least one more time. Maybe not so much for myself, but I think him seeing me would probably make his day.

Lots of sequels on my blog this month. Check out www.mockworthy.com to hear a new commentary from Mike and myself with special guest Mollye for Batman Forever. This movie just gets worse and worse each time I view it. I'm absolutely amazed this movie grossed 270 million. Check out peeps.

I just wanted to make a trilogy out of it.
By: Jeans Pants | Thursday, March 23, 2006 at 11:06 PM | |
So I started the day off with a wake up call from my mom at 6am. I stayed awake for a 9am Dr's appointment which showed no results due to the fact that I had to get bloodwork done. So I hiked to the bloodwork building which took me 2 blocks to get to. It wasn't 2 blocks away i just went the wrong way and got lost. The bloodowrk building was located behind the building I had my Dr's appointment. Once I got to the bloodwork building they said it would take 45 minutes. That would have been fine if I didnt have to pay for parking. A dollar an hour, I had already been there 2 hours and I only had 2 dollars. So no blood work.
I than went for a walk at the mall until Mollye called me at 11 to tell me she had woken up. I picked her up at home. We ate at Baha Fresh and than went to my freind Danny's house where I waited in the car so Mollye and Danny could decorate.
Im going to skip ahead to eating Ice cream at Cold stone, Danny treated. There we met with Mike and Amanda and we saw V For Vendetta which I ended up loving. That movie is Good Slimes.
From there we all went to Danny's where I walked in to Star Wars decorations galore. My friend Shawn showed up about a few minutes after we did. We ordered pizza, watched most of Jackass the movie and some of Friday the 13th the final chapter(which is actually part 4 out of 11, they lied to us). I than opened my presents.
I collect movie posters, not always from good movies, usually there just posters I like. Here one of Mollyes presents to me
So above is the Pirates 2 poster. Thanks Mollye I love it.
Mike and Amanda took the above picture and framed it for me. Honestly I love it so much.
It's sometimes the little things that touch your heart and thats one of them.
They also gave me this awsome poster they came across online. They went to Kinko's at 2 am to print it for me. It's incredible. Mike said "You will shit your pants when you open your gift" and I did. and it smelt and everybody left.
Now I want to take the time to say Danny and Shawns gift came in 2 parts. One was a Star Trek DVD consisting of all Borg episodes. Yes Im a nerd so what we knew this. Now for anyone who doesnt know this I am deathly afraid of snakes. I can't help it just seeing them freaks me out. So When I opened this next gift its no surprise I freaked out, through the gift across the room and tried to compose myself. Below is what I opened up.
Yeah the above scared the hell out of me. I would also like to add that my peeps teased me with it all night. In fact I will not post it but If you would like to see me scared to death of it go to Mike and Amanda's blog here
http://caliblog.com/
I will not post the picture so if you want to see it you go find it there. It's not hard to find. Amanda was especialy sweet. She tried protecting me but the darkness overcame the light. So as a result I have decided to make Amanda my sidekick in fighting crime. Read my below post titles "In the Absence of Light Darkness Prevails" and you'l read what were fighting for. Basically she'll take over when theres snakes. She'll be called Bamanda, that way no one will ever be able to figure out the secret identity's of The Justin and Bamanda.
So even though I had a scared to death experiance on my birthday it was still awsome. I had a great time and if I could relive it again I would change only one thing...that picture. Thanks to the 5 of them for a great birthday. Alumnsay my peeps.
By: Jeans Pants | at 12:02 AM | |
I just wanted to let everyone know that my birthday may have started off a little rocky(read the post below) I've possibly had the best birthday I've ever had. I had a great day. I will post pictures and tell stories later, like tomorrow, I have a really bad headache. Goodnight Everyone.
By: Jeans Pants | Wednesday, March 22, 2006 at 12:41 AM | |
Im writing this now because it's 7am and I need a friend. All my real friends are asleep where I should be. I havent had a good night sleep in over a month. I havent had a really good day at work in longer than that. Last week I scheduled a Dr's appointment for today, 9am, my birthday. I scheduled it today because I havent been feeling that great and as of last friday my boss hadnt made the schedule for this week and the only day off I knew I had was today. So I made it with the intention of changing it yesterday while I was at work. What happened was I had a typical day at work which I got overwhelmed and forgot. For the record my boss always does schedules 2 weeks in advance, every week but this week.
SoI planned on going to bed last night around 12:30 to get 8 hours. I was writing a post last night and was going to be finished around 12:45. When I tried to upload a picture it wasnt working. So I took the time to figure out what was wrong, I had to make a little adjustments here and there to upload the picture and Ta Da my picture was uploaded and now it was 1:30. I dont know how that happended. So I got ready for bed and was in bed by 2.
I fell asleep around 4 only to be woken up randomly at 5. Dont know why I just sat up in bed and thought "Why am I awake?'. I fell back to sleep to be woken up by my mom at 6:30. She forgot the time change. So she woke me up and I couldnt get back to sleep and I wanted to vent to someone so blog here you go.
Heres the thing. Im exhausted. I think Im gettign easily angried at work do in part that Im so tired all day and Im awake all night. Im getting really tired of my new system. I dont know if a Dr will be able to help. Maybe he'll subscribe a sleeping pill, that would kind of suck because it will make it harder to wake up. I hate to sound selfish but Im really getting kind of scared for myself. How much longer will I last without sleep? I feel like sleep is now a challenge in my life or a nusance that Im tired of beign bothered with. It seems like everytime I have the opportunity to get some sleep something has to shoot me back. Ok Im going to the Drs now. I'll keep you all informed.
For the record, this isn't a pity me on my birthday post. Im not saying Im having or am going to have a bad birthday. I just really wanted to vent about how Im nervous about not getting sleep.

Has anyone else noticed whats been happening to us? Society seems to be going downhill at an alarming rate. There are no hero's in sight to save us from devastation. No Batman's or Vendetta's to say "Hey Mr President, you only represent 51% of the country, if that since you probably cheated, you need to start representing the other 49%.
The president can do what he wants when it comes to everything. He owns both houses. What sad most about this is theres a good percent of the republicans that don't support Bush or think that this war has gone on for too long and it's time to come home but there afraid to come right out and say it. They don't want to make their president look weak. Especially my man John McCain.
McCain you know theirs nothing right about this administration but you keep saying good things. Are you hoping to run again? Are you hoping that since Bush's approval rating is 33% and his re-election polls at 99% that some of that could rub off on you. Your a smart man. Your angry at the Abu Graib Prison photos just like the rest of us. You recently past a bill that would hopefully stop Abu Graib from ever happening again yet recently new pictures have surfaced. How des that make you feel? Are you faking your smiles and hand shakes to maybe get some of your bills passed like McCain Feinhold or the new Kennedy McCain bill which deals with immigration go here to read more http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49296
Than we have the Democrats which are turning more and more into Republicans everyday. The other Democrats are too afraid to say boo since they keep losing seats. When it comes to politicians who is there to turn too? Maybe when I run for God in 2008 I can elect some green part peeps. Forget green party what about Mauve.
I did say in my first paragraph that society is changing. I also mentioned we need a hero. The other day I was at the grocery store. I was third in line and I wasn't paying attention to the front of the line. I noticed we hadn't moved for a while. When I looked to the front I saw the same person that rung up the grocery's bagging them as well while the man in his late 30's stood there and watched. Why couldn't he help bag them? Why did he just stand there and watch? What kind of lazy is that? Than again why didnt i just jump to the front and bag them to set an example. Maybe because I didn't bring my cape
I went to another grocery store the other day and used there bathroom. I wish I had a camera phone because in that bathroom I found the paper towel hold and the tiolet paper holder just ripped out of the walls and the paper all over the floor. What inspires someone to do that? Who goes into a bathrooom and thinks, "Im going to tear this place to shreds".
Heres something else that was a bad on my part. I was driving to work a few months back and there was a huge traffic jam. I moved to the fast lane to try and move faster but of course it didn't help much. When I got to the incident I saw in the slow lane an old man pushing his broken down car off to the side of the road. Once I passed it I thought to myself "how is it that nobody stopped to help this man". Than I thought to myself "Why didnt I stop". I think back on that day and just get disapointed in myself. But Im also disapointed in everyone else too. Maybe I didnt stop because I didn't have my cape.
Its sad that cars today are made more for speed than safety. My little Kia goes up to 140. When am I going to use that? Whenever Im in a traffic jam now and Im sure theres an accident ahead I get angry. I think to myself what asshole decided to drive extra fast and without regard for other peoples lives caused this. I just want to hurt that bastard. I also get angry because Im sure that the person that caused this accident is fine and the victims are either hurt or dead.
So in conclusion I shall be out tonight and every night. Watching over the good and hunting those that use fear as a weapon. So sleep well to you all. I will keep you free from incident. I am The Justin.

This will be a silly random post
Yesterday I saw the word Vendetta written on my Entertainment weekly. Of course it was refering to the new movie V for Vendetta. I realized that alot of the coolest words begin with the letter V. So today at work I mentioned this to people and they helped me think of cool words that start with the letter V.
Vendetta
Vengeance
Visual
Vader
Ventriloquest
Violin
Viceroy
Virtuoso
And my personal favorite
Velociraptor
Velociraptor is a cool word you know you like saying it.
Next time kids we'll do the letter "R" . Now for all of you who read this post all the way through Here's to wasting your time =0)

If you would like to see more of the DisneyLand Picks than go to Mike and Amanda's Blog which is
http://caliblog.com/
Here are a few of my favorite individual picks from the trip
Why is this a favorite pic of Mollye? Because she looks absolutely happy. Actually She looks absolutly Mollye. Theres no other way to explain it.
Why is this a favorite pic of Mike? Because it was hard to get him to take a picture where he wasn't hiding from the camera. Plus he's supposedly mad that Amanda grabbed his camera and took a picture of him
Why is this a favorite pick of Amanda? This is easy. She just looks Happy.
Why do I have a favorite pic of myself? On the first day I met my friend Chris in college he did an impression of me. He pointed to me and said "this guy he's like..."than he made a face similiar to the one above. It brought back a memory. After knowing me for only a day he could do a facial impression of me.
Awwww Disneyland, come back, come back, come back.
By: Jeans Pants | at 12:52 AM | |
So Ive been dreading writing something to follow the Disney post. I've been so disapointed lately with the way some things have turned out that I've been hoping to write about another fun event in my life. To top Disney wouldnt be an easy. Since nothing really exciting has happened the blog must go on. Heres a quick week in review.
So I returned to work last Saturday, the day after Disney. Things at work are hectic because we have coming up whats known as Comercial Review. It's basically a review for the whole store. So both Saturday and Sunday suck mainly because the customers in general are a bunch of nagging lazy assholes who expect Ikea to run the same way as all other stores in America. They don't like change. Ikea is a self service store. When customers want to buy something and we tell them they have to get it themselves it's like telling them their Mother Died.
"Wait what do you mean? "
"I have to get this myself?"
"How am I suppsoe to do that?"
Or after we explain we only have next day delivery.
customer- "But I need it next Tuesday"
me- "Im sorry maam we only have next day"
customer- "What am I suppose to do"
me- "Ummm come back next Monday?"
We're all pretty pissed at this but my freind especially since he wrote a letter directly to the manager. You see before Christmas time IKEA played all kinds of decent music, Depeche Mode, Morrisey, INXS etc. Now they just play Avril, NSYNC, Brtiney etc. That is getting kind of nerve racking.
Here are a few other things at work thats annoyiing me.
custimer- Whats your delivery?
Me- Well Its starts at 50 dollars for the first 250 pounds and the first 50 miles. If you exceed 250 pounds or 50 miles it will be somewhere between 50- 100 dollars (that gets said alot)
or
Customer- How do you get to the registers?
Me- Follow the arrows on the path and they'll lead you to downstairs
What I would like to say to them is
Customer- How do you get to the registers?
Me- Well follow the path and everytime you see an arrow on the floormake sure you
make a left no matter what direction the arrow is pointing
or I could Dane Cook it
Customer- How do you get to the registers?
Me- Well this is what your going to do I want you to get on the 5 south get ont he 134 west until you reach Lankershim exit. Get off there make a right and you'll see a Target. Go inside the Target and there you'll meet Steve. Steve will take you to the registers
My boss has been trying to hand out overtime from 10pm and up everyday this week. If this was any other week I would be all over that but this week has been wearing me out. Maybe because I havent really had a day to myself since before Disney. Since I havent been taking him up on the over time offer it seems that the mood has changed alot between me and him. Ive still been working my regular shifts with no call outs and sometimes I have been staying a half hour later but I can tell in his tone he is really disapointed.
I had a good Tuesday. We went to Mike and Amanda's and watched Natalie Portman on SNL and than Pleasantvile. Good Slimes Actually I hada good sunday after work too. Mollye mon was still on town and went to dinner with Danny and Shawn than we watched the season premier of The Sopranos. Good Slimes again.
A friend of mine made a comment this week at work that really disapointed me. Im not going to repeat it but after he made that comment and I had time to go home and ponder it I remembered the past when he made other comments about the same subject about a month or so ago. As a result I've been trying to figure out, should I talk to him, should I not be his freind, Should I stay away for a bit. Im not sure. The situation has had me wonder, Is a friend a friend when he brings up something that has no solution, no answer to solve it, and he knows it will either make you angry or make things uncomfortable between the two of you? The result has helped make my decision to have a very very small get together on my birthday. Maybe just 4 people. Alot of people reading this may say, Hey i didnt know you were havign a get together, thats the thing I wasnt sure if I was and now Im not.
I found a random bump on the back of my head this week. It freaked me out when it was still there after 2 days and still hurting. I made a Dr's appointment Tuesday Morning to get it checked out. Im sure it's nothing.
So now the subject at hand. Mollyes Wisdom teeth. They were removed today. All four of them. Watching her on the couch in pain is stabbing me in the heart. Theres not really much I can do but be here for her. I love her with all my heart. I will say that I have been pulling myself out of this funk I'm in since she walked out of that Dentist office. She needs me and so here I'll be, on the computer just 8 feet from the couch she's laying on.
I'm very lucky to have Mollye. Im a handful. Im not even talking about me being messy and her a neat freak. She puts up with alot. Like how she has huge smiles when I come home and I just want to get in the shower as fast as possible to wash my day away. Or how shes so talkative about her day and Im very quiet about mine. I do have a less interesting day compared to a her whose always on a different show or movie everyday. All Im saying is I love her and Im lucky to have her.

The above picture is actually one of the last photos taken from the trip. I, we all had a great time. I alwyas get extra sappy when the one week mark approaches and I think what was I doing a week ago. This Thursday and Friday I will be saying, wow I was in Disneyland and I miss it so much. Good Time(Slimes) and Great memories I wouldnt trade for anything.( I said I get extra sappy)
The Above photo was taken around when we first arrived. From left theres me, Amanda, Mike I guess showing how happy he is to be there and Mollyes mom,Deb, who I should memtion had treated for most of the meals and hotel room which was a great surprise to all of us. Thanks Deb.
This is the first Photo I took. We were waiting for a fast past and near the line was a bottle of I dont know.
Im obviously thinking about something smart. Im a genious.
Me and The Mollye, Look at us awwwwwwwwwww.
We jump ahead to the small world ride. A celebration of all sterotypes.
Pumba? What happened?
That kid is sexy
Lost in Translation? or just a slob? I kidd I kidd
This was our hotel . Really nice we had a view of a cematary. Didnt even know they had one. Ok I think this is one out of two rides I didnt go on. Everyone else did. I went for a walk. I hate high drops.
So this is day two and we're at California Adventure. Mollye's mom left early to drive to Santa Barbara to visit some friends and she left us kids alone on the park. The picture above is everyone but me getting off The Tower of Terror. Only pussy's ride that ride.
Did I mention that it rained on and off the second day and it was pretty cold for California. So we waited forever to go on this ferris wheel. Heres the awsome part. We waited in the extra long line to get a cart that actually slides from side to side to further enhance the thrill. I thought at first it was a good idea until we got to the top and I mentioned out loud,"Im not going to like this am I?" Not only did I not like it but we didnt like it. The above photo is Amanda freezing as we get higher and higher.
This is Mike out of his seat hiding from the wind
Mollye took a pncho out and as you can see it was very windy.
Look at her. I love her
Next stop the swings. We (except Mollye) rode the swings twice. Bad Idea because Mike got sick and Amanda may have lost her phone on this ride. She didnt realize it was missing until we all got home that night. Luckliy Since Disney has a great lost and found they called Mike to letting him know they found Amanda's phone. Woo Hoo.
Mike Talking (or singing) while Amanda seduces the camera.
Mollye and Amanda riding the Roller Coaster. Can you find them. Mike was still a little sick so he sat this one out with me. Oh this is two out of two rides I don't ride at Disney.
Mollye and Amanda on the Tea Cups
Mike about to be sick on the Tea Cups. He never fully recovered from the Ferris Wheel.
Well again I had a great time. Going back to work made me realize I need to finish something I've started. Ive started so many things and their all in limbo. I need to finish everything. Writing, short films etc so I can make more money so I can do things like these more often. I had such a great time. I love Mollye , I love my friends, I love my memories.

com·men·tar·y 
( P ) Pronunciation Key (k
m
n-t
r
)
n. pl. com·men·tar·ies - A series of explanations or interpretations.
- An expository treatise or series of annotations; an exegesis. Often used in the plural.
- An apt explanation or illustration: a scandal that is a sad commentary on national politics.
- A personal narrative; a memoir. Often used in the plural.
The story goes like this, so a little less than a year ago I went up to my buddy Mike and mentioned this idea I had about doing our own commentaries to shitty movies. Long story short he thought it was a good idea and than we talked about what movies to do. Basically we talked and talked and talked and now what could be 6-8 months later we finally started doing them. Two weeks ago we stayed up late one night to figure a anme for us only to wake up the next morning still nameless. Mike came up with No comment as a name, but it was taken so than he came up with the name Mockworthy and well, thats our name. So after staying up late one night to find a name for ourselves Mike figured one out on his own the next day.
Ok so as of now we've done two commentaries one for Friday the 13th and last sunday nigth we did War of the Worlds. So if you would like to hear our commentaries please go to www.mockworthy.com. Our upcomming commentaries will "Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Passion of the Christ, Stealth, and the rest of the Friday the 13th series. If you have any ideas please leave a comment.

I've recently read this from a website I normally go to...
Brokeback Mountain actress
Michelle Williams has been disowned by her former school because of her role in the controversial gay cowboy romance. Williams, who attended exclusive Santa Fe Christian School in San Diego, California, has been blasted by the school's headmaster as "offensive" for acting the long-suffering wife of a homosexual ranch hand, played by
Heath Ledger. Jim Hopson has branded the Oscar nominee a poor role model, and hopes his education establishment won't be linked to the film's themes. He tells the San Diego Union Tribune, "We don't want to have anything to do with her in relation to that movie. Michelle doesn't represent the values of this institution.
Brokeback Mountain basically promotes a lifestyle we don't promote."
Whats my response. My cowboy hats off to you Jim Hopson. It's good to know that the blue states can rely on someone like you and your brilliant school to keep it real. It's funny that you've opened my eyes. I originally thought to myself "Wow i dont promote these movies but the performances were great. I cant imagine what I would have done if I was her". Thanks to you I now realize that good performances cant go unpunished. She may have done her job of convincing me she was a conflicted sad wife of a gay man but she has alot of prayers she needs to send God before she can wash her hands from this sinful sinful movie. Yes Jim Hopson, what a sad sad role model she is. She's nothing like our president, or you sir. We need more people like both of you...End Scene.
What an asshole huh? Lets make sure we stop tearing down walls this year and continue to keep building new ones...or better yet rebuild old ones. Oh Jim Hopson, your so gay.

I was watching "The Office" the other day and realized something. They've created situations where if you've been paying attetion to the past episodes will give the joke or scenario a better pay off. "The Office" started doing this about 8 episodes in to season 2. "Arrested Development" on the other hand started doing these type of things since day 1. Does that make it bad? Not at all. It still makes it original and smarter than any show that has aired on television. The route "The Office" took was that they let peoples feet get wet before getting deep with the characters and show plot. The Offices rating were really low when it first started and slowly they've climbed there way to a safe ground. This is partly because of word of mouth and winning awards.
But after winning the Emmy's and word of mouth from the critics to the home viewer made its way around, "Arrested Development" was far too deep into character developments and twists for people to catch up. I realized this past week that with Arrested Development gone The Office is the only television excitement I look forward to every week. I do hope that Arrested Development gets renewed, but if it doesn't, TV rots your brain anyways. As my friend Danny would say, "Arrested Development, TV just wasn't ready for you".

How on earth can they be compared in the same category? This is how. Both movies use alot of one shots. One shots has a proper name but I honestly can't think of it. I guess I should describe what I mean to those who may not know. It's just what it sounds like. Its one long shot done during scenes in movies without any cuts. The movie Halloween's first 5 minutes is a one shot. The movie Cradle Will Rock starts with a 7-8 minute one shot. These shots usually impresses me the most because when their executed properly it reminds me of being at a play. Knowing the actors and filmakers need to have things properly times and memorized for their next move gives me goosebumps.
Ok moving on. Pride and Prejudice(the 2005 version) Has alot of amazing one shots. Their is one shot where the camera follows one person from a field to her house and from their the camera follows another character who takes us to another character and so on. Theirs another shot where we're at a ball and the shot must have lasted maybe 2-3 minutes which is really impresive because we go from room to room following Keira Knightly as she maneuvers around people dancing around her.
I hope so far this is making sense it's reallyt late and Im tired.
Im comparing this to Rent because I have just recently seen both of them and Rent also has alot of one shots. Alot of poorly shot boring one shots. You see even though Im a huge fan of the one shot. I don't think all movies should have them or use them. Rent being a rock musical should be shot like a rock video. Theirs a shot in Rent where the main characters Mark and Roger are basically yelling a song at each other. The camera during this scene just spins around them about three times and than follows them outsite where they throw a garbage can over their balcony. The shot doesnt work for me because I felt it needed something sharp or edgy. There are a few other shots like this in the movie that are just unecesary and could have been executed better.
The shots in Rent stood out as if the director was trying to be artsy. The shots is Pride stood out as artsy and honestly briliant. Im not going to say I recomend one more than the other because their completly different categories. Directors just need to research their material better and learn how to be artists for the different topics they are taking on.
