Just a quickie little blurb about an interesting movie. The Boondock Saints is a movie that came out in the early 2000's and was poorly reviewed but later obtained a cult following. I recommend seeing it if you have not.
Unfortunately they have made a sequel, which is something the cult following has been dying for since they were first exposed to the original. I don't know how this sequel will do but it seemed like something that should have been left alone at 1 movie. It wasn't so much a great movie for any one reason but all of the pieces fit together with a huge help from Willem Defoe, who I don't believe is in the sequel. It also has been 10 years since the original which is just too long since to really work well. I think it comes out in theaters this weekend. I wouldn't recommend seeing the sequel but please see the original if you have not (and it is not for young children!).

Slow Week
It has been a very slow week, and I have had trouble finding much to write about. Something hit me though as I was watching a commercial this morning though.
I really get annoyed by outrageous claims made by commercials, for example:
There is a Heroes commercial on G4 that claims Heroes caused a television revolution and the one that really got to me was the commercial for the new Ice Age movie claiming it was the best children's/animated movie this year. There are many more of these commercials but these 2 really bother me. Heroes didn't spawn a tv revolution, not even a little bit...it didn't even cause anyone to try and copy it with another super hero show and no other shows try and film in the same manner they do so I am confused about what that revolution was about? did they revolutionize how stupid some super powers can be? I have watched some of the show and it is average at best (unless you really really like super powers, you might like it more) and I am a super power kind of guy. Ice Age 3 was at best unremarkable, I did not see it but heard only bland reviews. Also it was titled Dawn of the Dinosaurs.....dinosaurs DIDN'T come after the ice age but BEFORE!
so I figured I would just start making claims about things in my life, because apparently they just have to be one persons opinion in order to be said.
Wolf Weekly is the blog that changed the blogging game!
New Jersey is the worst state in the country.
Spring is the coldest season of the year.
Another frustrating thing is how TV shows have begun to edit clips of the show to make it seem like something super dramatic is going to happen instead of something kind of boring and predictable in their weekly "trailers".
