There have been plenty of great female action stars on the big screen over the years…
Marion Ravenwood
Lara Croft
Every character played by Michelle Yeoh
and even…
Dora The Explorer
Pixar just gave us another one…
A long long time ago, in a lifetime far far away (20 years to be exact)…
I was in a session at a writer’s conference where a very well-known author basically told me I was full of it because…
Cartoons cannot, and will not, ever be able to adequately express emotion.
So all I can say now is…
Suck it OSC!
Best of all…
Emotion-expressing animation or not…
I got to see Wall-E with Cute as a Button right beside me.
And that’s always a good time!

E-Cycling Day was recently included as part of an Alabama Public Television feature on green initiatives in our state.
The entire show is available online from the APTV.org website. If you just want to catch the section on E-Cycling Day, start at the 26:27 mark.
And for the record…uncontrollable laughter.
That was the reaction from Running Antelope, Apple of My Eye, and Cute as a Button to the awesome Winter Hat of Justice I’m sporting.

Let me come right out and get this review over with in one sentence, for those of you who have important things to get done…
The new Indiana Jones movies TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY SUCKS!
Yep, I said it.
Don’t waste your money on this tired old gasbag of a movie.
In fact, I won’t waste your time going into the innumerable ways it sucks.
But I will tell you this…
Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Oh-Who-Gives-A-Damn-Anyway makes Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom look like an Oscar-worthy MASTERPIECE by comparison.
Which I’m sure will make Kate Capshaw very happy.
Instead of telling you all the ways that the latest Indiana Jones delivers every cliche and hackneyed idea that has been put to film for the last 27 years…
Ever since Raiders of the Lost Ark basically kicked the ass of every action movie that had come before it, not to mention all that have come since…
I will instead share with you all the alternate titles I came up with while waiting for this pig of a movie to end tonight…
Raiders of the Aching Lumbago
Indiana Jones and the Search for the Golden Geritol
Indiana Jones Soils His Depends
Indiana Jones and the Last Sandwich (which he promptly gives to his anorexic girlfriend, Ally McBeal)
Indiana Jones and the Quest for Even More Special Effects
Indiana Jones and the Sequel of Doom
Raiders of the Last Nerve
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Gullible Viewers
Indiana Jones and The Final Sellout
Raiders of the Last Box-Office
Indiana Jones and the Lost Cliches
Raiders of My Last $10
Feel free to post up your own opinion, or alternate title suggestion.
But if you want my advice…
Wait for this piece of felgercarb to hit the video store.

But maybe I can tell the future. [EDIT: But I completely forget the link. Doh!]
Been preaching the mobile device revolution was the next big thing for a couple of years now. And decent web browsing would be the key.
Honestly, there’s no magic. You can see what’s coming, as long as you are paying attention.
If you don’t, I can for sure tell you your future.
And it ain’t pretty.

Don’t ask me how Elisabeth Vanderveldt’s name keeps getting picked up by celebrity gossip aggregators.
I’m thinking Nick & I were darn lucky that neither of us had to punch out any stalkerazzi at MVP Summit.
Oh well…there’s always next year for socking some scumbags!
