Goings On
If you read this entry, leave a comment. I'm pretty sure that no one has ever read my blog. How discouraging .
It's been a while. A number of things have happened that have been of interest to me since my last post. I'll discuss a few of them.
First, congratulations to my boyhood hero Ryne Sandberg, who was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame last week. I had at least three Ryno posters in my room growing up, and I'm honestly a little bit emotional over him finally making it on his third try. Every article I've read about him says he obviously deserved to be in, so I wonder who has been voting against him. Sandberg's '89 Central Division champ Cubs are one of my earliest and fondest sports memories.
I saw "Blade Trinity" while I was in LA with Ashley for the Rose Bowl. Not a great movie, but not a disappointment. Sure, David Goyer should not have been allowed to direct because he did a crappy and I mean crappy job of it, but, damn, it still had the Daywalker slaying suckheads! Plus Parker Posey was great as the arch-villainess, really going to town with her over-the-top, B-movie character. At first I didn't like Ryan Reynolds, but I warmed up to him.
Most critics didn't like "Blade Trinity" (witness its abysmal 27% TomatoMeter rating. They rag on the direction and say its not as smart as the previous two. For the most part they're right. But, like I said above, it still has the Daywalker slaying suckheads, for crying out loud.
