QUOTE OF THE DAY : "Television knows no night. It is perpetual day. TV embodies our fear of the dark, of night, of the other side of things." - Jean Baudrillard

SONG OF THE DAY : Beastie Boys - An Open Letter To NYC

LINK OF THE DAY : Bush Explains Sovereignty.

My grief lies all within,
And these external manners of lament
Are merely shadows to the unseen grief
That swells with silence in the tortured soul.



As I sit here watching wannabe celebrity pugilists go at it on CELEBRITY BOXING 2, I wonder why? Why would these washed up stars do this? The fact that they have no career isn't embarrassment enough? At the same time I look forward to another battle of the titans. Tomorrow I'm seeing a 10 AM screening of Alien Vs Predator.

Why is it so early tomorrow? I don't know. There were no advanced screenings of the film... Which does not bode well. Usually when the studio senses a stinker, they don't let the critics see it early. Such will probably be the case with AvP, but I'll see it anyways. Paul W.S. Anderson can make cool movies... Ok one. Event Horizon... It wasn't bad. Everything else he's done, is horrible, in my opinion. This is the man who brought us Resident Evil after all.

I for one relish the chance to see the Aliens from Aliens and the Predators from Predator go at it. How can you go wrong? Well there are lots of ways. For one you can rate the movie PG-13. Considering that it's based off two very hard R rated franchises, you'd think they'd go for the R rating. That's another thing studios do when they sense a stinker, you let all the stupid 13 year olds go see a less violent edit of the film, and thusly make more money.

I may or may not review it. We'll see.

Should be interesting.
