hahah so I'm watching COPS and this old guy gets busted and the cops tell him we didn't know what your intention was. And his reply "My intention was to get away". And he tells them basically they're not bad guys, his job was to get away and their job was to catch him. He was an idiot running when he shouldn't have been and endangering people doing so (I hate that people chase people unless they KNOW what the person did and it's like an armed and dangerous pyscho because of how many are stupid panicked people with no warrants or weapons and well a busted tail light or something = silly reason to risk lives, but eh yeah there's my rant) but still I had to love his honestly.
Went and saw Wall-E tonight. Cute movie with lots of messages. No review necessary really though I must say I had NO clue what to expect from the preview I saw. I got the impression it might be a save earth from the bad guy movie when really there is no bad guy per se. And my bf thought, from the preview HE saw it was a robot love story -- it is, but it's more than that too. Yeah, just see it I suppose, I won't spoil it. Though for some reason everyone finds it odd that my boyfriend was the one super eager about this movie (no really I've heard nothing but "I wanna see Wall-E" for the last month -- if not longer) and I'm the one announcing "We're only seeing Wall-E first because it comes out before Batman". Apparently people are so hung up on stereotypes still to this day. Only girls can want to see cute cartoon movies and only guys can want to go see comic book superhero movies. Get with the times people.

Ohhh good TV during repeat season! Hopkins... I saw a brain lesion being removed for biopsy! Gross and cool. Not as gross as I was expecting. Some of the stuff on these real life hospital shows does make me want to look away -- usually the bones broken in ways bones should never be broken. I had to run and tell my bf I saw a brain lesion biopsy procedure on tv (I have lesions from MS), he looked like he wanted to be ill, and I didn't even go into details. heh, I'll love this show! I use to watch some real life ER shows they aired on hmm I want to say Discovery maybe late on weekends and he would glance at the tv then look like he'd vomit, that was fun.

I just caught Scariest Places on Earth on Sci-fi... was this show a complete rip off of MTV's Fear? Holy copy cat Batman, I thought they were re-airing Fear, until I saw the narrator guy. I mean I've seen similar shows but usual they try to be like no see we're totally different. This was just a blatant rip off. And it aired originally on ABC Family? What kind of family network rips off shows? :P

Tonight we watched Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs
, I must admit it was much weirder and probably a bit less funny than the last Futurama DVD movie Futurama - Bender's Big Score
. Don't get me wrong it's still Futurama, but if for some crazy reason you're a fan who can see only one of the two, go with Bender's Big Score. Unless you like the idea of a crazy universal cult where everyone loves and dates a tentacle... Yeah, weird.

Ok I'll admit it, I don't really know of Matthew McConaughey. I know he's famous. That's about it. Don't know what he's done, too lazy to look it up, don't care. But I do know he was recently enjoying the Malibu beach and of course paparazzi were stalking him... I don't mean teehee stalking like I joke I do to my online friends.. or going to very public events like movie premieres, clubs, charity events for pics. No I mean following these poor people's every damn moves. I swear they'd video them peeing if they could figure out how. It's stalking and why having a camera and getting paid for it makes it legal is beyond me.
But the surfers at the beach weren't having it and told the stalkers that no one wanted them. I'd like to the video but both videos are from paparazzi sites, so meh. It seemed to start out I suppose threatening but not really -- just no one who lives here or who is here trying to enjoy this beach wants you here. It quickly turned to insults from both sides. In ended with psychical contact but the videos look edited to me since there's two and since well yeah I dunno they're clearly meant to make us all boo hoo those poor innocent paparazzi...
The best point and the one the paparazzi totally fucking missed is someone on the "surfers" side (I think) saying something like yeah come on hit me with it there's kids on the beach. And that's the whole damn point. I don't care who you are, if you want to go to the beach you should be able to go and be left alone, not stalked. Families also there shouldn't worry their little girls will end up in the pics you snapped and posted all over the internet. Etc. If you want to get pics of them get them where it's fair game... where they're "working". Where there in high profile celeb clubs. Whatever. But packs of you following them to gas stations, beaches, etc and affecting "normal" people is just BS, dangerous, and more and more of these scenes will play out and sooner or later in one of your high speed car chases, your blinding camera flashes on public streets, or whatever the hell you stalking job requires someone is going o be SERIOUSLY hurt or killed.

I recently got my hands on a borrowed copy of Superman/Batman: Saga of the Super Sons
. Holy 70s Batman! So I won't ruin it for you crazy people who might pick it up, there is a twist at the end! But I will say Bat Jr. is a hippie! Supes Jr. is a good boy. Bat Jr. a playboy but erm the one time a chick is all over him, he is busy looking for Clark... ...
I love how the editors in the 70s BEAT little notes into your head in those comics, heh. Wow cheesy goodness. Or badness. Well, something. I read the whole book anyway. It was better than my older Superman book I gotta say. Maybe... Comic books have come a long way since they first started. It's funny to read some of the old old old school ones, then the ones from say 5-10 years later... and then a little later... etc.
Still I've only made it to chapter 26 in The Last Days of Krypton
... What can I say, there's no pictures :P I'm kidding... sort of. Sci-fi / Fantasy stuff is hard to read though but it's KRYPTON'S history! I'm trying...

Ok nothing exciting in the entertainment world from me! I'm still watching that moment of truth show and feeling guilty as hell for it. Really why do you people go on that show? YES I cheated! YES I did horrible things at work! Yes I'm a bad person! Then... lose it all on some silly question you lied on. Good job. Tear your family apart, ruin your career, your relationship, and get no money! w00t! Good job. Ugh. People will do anything to be on tv and to MAYBE get a buck eh? But then they lie and lose it all? WTF?
Went to Disney California Adventure last weekend. The most boring amusement park btw. Can't wait for all of the new rides. It needs this makeover it's getting. I don't go on the coaster there nor on Tower of terror because I'm unsure that my medical condition will like allow me to handle them. That leaves me with the Mullholland car ride which looks like a kiddie ride but makes my bf sick and the Muppet theater which I friggin love. Well this week the new Toy Story ride opened and we were all grrrr because it was opening Tuesday and we couldn't go during the week but out 2fer ticket expired during the week... so we'd miss it! NOPE! They opened it the day we were there for a sneak peek before the grand opening and before media day! w00t! The line time claimed 50 minutes but it moved so fast we were in and out in 30. It rocked! Better than the Disneyland version. <3
However, while there the Mullholland ride has a bag to sick your bags, hats, etc in as they tend to get lost (if you look at the bottom of the ride there are indeed hats etc down below). While getting out my purse must have gotten caught on said mesh bag because when we got to the bottom I was like wtf? My zipper is broken and where is my Christopher Reeve / Superman Go forward dog tag? He's my real life hero, cannot lose that (or would have to order more). Bf went and found the tag in the car we were in. But need to get a new purse as the zipper is shattered. So now we joke that Edward Norton owes me a latte from my Universal visit and his Hulk premiere blocking Starbucks and Disney owes me a purse.

We went to Universal Studios this weekend... I think my video slideshow sums up the fire.
In other entertainment / Universal Studios related news. The Simpsons ride totally rocks and is probably the only ride that I'd wait in line for a friggin HOUR for again. And I saw STAN LEE!!! And Ed Norton!!! And Lou Ferrigno! and Liv Tyler! And I think they all owe me a latte. Because I only saw them because the green carpet for the Hulk premiere was blocking Starbucks. We were going to get coffee for the ride home and accidentally stumbled upon their walk along said green carpet and never did get coffee.
But meh I saw friggin STAN LEE!! and ED NORTON! But.... NO iced Latte! hrmph :P Dear Ed Norton, Stan Lee, Lou Ferrigno, and Liv Tyler -- Please send Starbucks giftcard autographed for my troubles. Thanks ;)

Today I learned that there's really nothing people won't do to be on tv...
The *cough* fine folks at Moss Beach Distillery called in the truly fine folks of TAPS aka Ghosthunters to investigate their claims of a haunting. Below this are the spoilers if you've not seen the episode and plan to watch it... REALLY GO AWAY NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW...
Ok, so the "blue lady" was it seems, protecting children by appearing at the cliff warning them so they wouldn't fall. But inside she was having a bit of fun. She was shaking the stained glass lights over the bar. Her face appearing in the mirror of the ladies room. Laughter in the ladies room. Full body apparitions. Cool site to investigate, no? NO!
As they entered the ladies room (causing my boyfriend to giggle "hmm two grown men entering the ladies room with filming equipment") they heard laughter. Now the producers of GH piss me off bad. Usually if they're about to hear something WE aren't. Seriously, if you watch the show you know that sounds will be heard by the crew -- but not us -- by listening to the music on the show. As it gets more obvious clearly they're going to announce "did you hear that" right when their music sound fx get so loud that NO we didn't hear that. But kudos to the production team, this time they didn't do that. We heard the laughter. We heard it because it was so clear, so loud, so obviously fake that they were probably too busy laughing at how bad of an fx it was to edit it. It took them about 2 seconds to find the speaker.
It took them about that long to notice, as well, the mirror looked out of place and that they could remove it and find a mask behind it which was attached to lights to make it look like a face appears in the mirror when you're standing in front of it...
Clearly pissed, Jay and Grant head out of the sham of a *cough* haunted bathroom and notice a ceiling tile that isn't in place -- Grant investigates, falls, and gets hurt. Ohh look it's something else the distillery rigged, poorly enough to make it obvious as they spotted the ceiling tile askew. Negligence IMO. A team of people in the dark there to investigate and you don't warn them of these things -- instead it seems you set them up.
They finally found the rather elaborate set up rigged to make the lights move, on timers as well.
When confronted it was something along the lines of I don't go in the women's room often so I forgot to tell you and ohh yeah the moving lights I told you about are rigged too with giggling tee hee that should be reserved for a school boy prank and not for a professional business on national tv. Whether you believe in ghosts / spirits / whatever or not, who cares... TAPS have done things for people that have nothing to do with the paranormal -- hey you have dangerous levels of this and not a ghost, fix that, it's bad for your health, etc.
Defrauding them, setting what amount to traps -- one of which caused an injury, etc is just pathetic. If you took them, their professionalism towards you, their safety, etc as that big of a joke, I can only assume you feel the same about your customers.
You got your 5 minutes of fame. And what it did for you is make this Californian, who could easily go spend money at your business, not want to. Good job.

So according to the MTV movie awards Johnny Depp is both funny and scary thanks to his rolls in Pirates (best comedic performance) and Sweeney Todd (best villain)... Frankly, I'm not sure how that man leaves the house, I was pretty sure every woman and some men were gonna break through security and rush on stage to violate him. Really, even the actresses looked as though they'd faint the second he appeared on stage.
Dana Carvey and Mike Myers brought back Wayne and Garth! <3
And Coldplay made me love their song "Viva la Vida" but the iTunes commercial using it being played 378927482790 times on every network may change my love for it. There is too much of a good thing...
And RIP to the Back to the Future set, King Kong, NY street, and another street which is totally slipping my mind now.... Sunday was a sad day here in LA. I only hope they really DO have backups of all of the videos that might have burnt in the vault at Universal Studios... it would be sad to lose art -- ok surely some of what is stored there = BAD tv shows or movies, but still it'd be sad you heartless jerks. Even bad art is art and should never be lost *nods*
