Dr. Cleophus' Quickie Movie Review

Iron Man 2: Whips, spandex, tattoos, and shiny suits; have I stumbled into some weird fetish movie?  No wait, explosions and gun fire, whew, it's a superhero movie.

Not that you can tell from the review, but I loved this movie. I'm a big movie geek.  I also love comic books.  So, as you could probably guess, Iron Man 2 is right up my alley. My brother-in-law, the Bald Hippie, also likes these two things.  So, we made sure we were there on opening night for the sold out showing of Iron Man 2.

Just to prove my geekiness, here are the movies I'm most excited for this summer:
The A-Team
Knight & Day
The Expendables
Inception
The Other Guys

Hotel Ramblings

I'm in a hotel for the next couple of days at a conference.  I'm stuck with an unfamiliar TV and setting, so I'm just flipping channels. Why does it seem like there are things I have never heard of when I'm in a hotel? Don't they have the same channels (pretty much) that I do? 

First, I flip by USA Network and, hey it's Monday, so the WWE (wrestling) is on. I'm not sure why, but Meat Loaf is in the middle of the ring arguing with some guy.  Mr. Loaf then proceeds to serenade this guy.  What the F* is going on here?  Is Meat really in that bad of shape that he has to do Monday night rasslin'?  Don't get me wrong, I used to LOVE rasslin, but you've got to move on.  I guess that Bat Out of Hell money finally dried up.

On some channel I've never heard of (HD Theater) is some motorcycle race in Europe I've never heard of called Isle of Man TT.  I've got to say, in HD it is pretty impressive and holds my attention for at least 3 minutes.  The streets all seem to be closed off for this race and it appears that at least a half dozen people are watching it from alleys and whatnot.  Can you imagine this happening in the US?  This would be a logistical nightmare, not to mention it would piss people off so bad that Bubba would likely drive his 4-wheel drive right out on the track so he could get over to the Wal-Mart. 

And, wait a minute, is that Escape From New York? Looks like I'm about to be sucked into the moral ambiguity that is Snake Plissken.  Later.

Kroger Thinks You're Stupid

Really, Kroger, who thought that this was needed?

Now I don't know what to do. I wanted a white bread sandwich, but Kroger tells me I can't have one.  Got to watch those carbs, I guess.  But, Kroger, I don't like pepperjack cheese and sweet and hot mustard.  Kroger hates me.

Also, I like how Kroger tells me I need 5-6 slices, nothing like ensuring you'll be back for more turkey after only a couple of sandwiches. 

Crap, I put the mustard on the bread and put on lettuce, cheese, and then tomato.  My sandwich is ruined!

Screw you, Kroger. I do it myself.
