Hannibal Rising was a really interesting movie. I love the whole Hannibal Lecter series. Each
of the four movies was a little bit different. This one took place in Europe during the
1940's and 50's, so if I had to compare it to another film in the series, it was probably
most like Hannibal. After seeing this movie, you can really sympathise with the character
Hannibal and see how a serial killer is "born". The young actor who played a teenage Hannibal
was amazing.
We saw the trailer for that Ghostrider movie. I like Nicholas Cage, but man this movie looks
ridiculous. We also saw a trailer for an upcoming Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino double
feature. I think it's the Tarantino film that has Rose McGowan in it. She plays an
amputee who can attach automatic weapons to her thigh stump. Ya know, sorta like Heather
Mills! HEY NOW! Actually both of these movies looked pretty ridiculous as well, but it's
Tarantino so I'll have to watch.
I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I added some shitakis' to my chicken marsala last
night and damn they were tasty. I think if I had enough mushrooms, I could make a meal out
of just those.
6 more weeks till opening day!!! It will be weird seeing a Yankees team with out Bernie
Williams on it. I sympathize with Bernie, but at the same time I can see why the Yankees did
what they did. I think using Melke Cabrera as a platoon outfielder will yield them much
better results. In fact, I wish they would convert Melke to a 3rd baseman and get that
headcase A-Rod out of the Bronx.
We picked up Warioware Smooth Moves and a Memory Foam pillow on Saturday. Warioware is
pretty interesting, but a little too elementary. Some of the stuff is challenging like the
challenge with the ping pong paddle and the one with the dinner plate balanced on a stick.
But then there are others where you have to go into the "Samurai" position and slice
something with your Wiimote that is just way too simple. The Memory Foam pillow is awesome.
I must be very hard on pillows because Rachel and I both got our pillows at the same time
and Rachel's is still all fluffy while my old pillow was like sleeping on a deflated
marshmallow. The Memory Foam pillow (flat, not the head contour one) is really nice. It's
pretty firm, so your head is supported nicely. I've tried other pillows like the Kabasawa
ones with the buckwheat hulls inside and those just didn't do it for me. It was like
sleeping on a bag of uncooked popcorn kernels. The Memory Foam pillow gets the Squilky seal
of approval.
Wow,Lost was great last week. It didn't quite makeup for a 3 months break with no new
episodes, but it was very intense. We're finally starting to see why the island is there.
Heroes really threw me a curve last week when Mr. Sulu shows up and plays Hiro's dad. It's
funny because I don't like Star Trek, but I know George Takei from the Howard Stern show and
he's pretty flamboyant and openly gay on the Stern show. He seemed so authoritative and
manly when he was yelling at Hiro and his sister. But I kept asking myself, I wonder if he
sounds effeminate when he speaks Japanese. I'm also curious about Peter's powers. He almost
seems like the equivalent of Sylar (SP?) where he can absorb people's powers. He met the
invisible guy and he turned invisible. He fell off a building and didn't die because he was
thinking about the Cheerleader (can you blame him? Am I right people?). So does everyone
have this ability to absorb special powers from others? Or just Sylar and Peter? And is
this leading up to a battle between Peter and Sylar? Good vs Evil?
I hope they don't introduce too many new characters. Because as it is now, they are already
spreading some of the stories out pretty thin. And I don't want it to get to a point where
they run out of ideas for cool super powers. I thought Claire's mom being able to make fire
was pretty lame already. I don't want it to get to a point where they have some guy who's
super power is that he emits noxious gas from his butt. He can clear a room with a single
toot, he is Flatulance Man!!!

Sylar and Peter have similar powers. No one else has their powers. Claire's birth mom and the inferno guy seem to have simlar powers too.
I think Chicken Marsala normally has to have mushrooms in it.
I think you can be authortative and gay. George Takai is a good actor. Ever since the media found out he is they have him play flamboyant dudes. Except now. I thought that was cool. Niel noticed the license plates were the same numbers as the ship on Star Trek I believe.
Yeah mushrooms usually are part of Marsalla. I used to omit them and just make the sauce with wine, butter and chicken stock.
Ive never seen George Takei in anything else other than on Howard Stern and his brief appearance on Heroes, so I only have the flamboyant George to measure against. I found it funny that Hiro's dad and sister seem so straight laced and business oriented, and Hiro is such a goof ball.
That's right you don't like mushrooms either like Niel.
We got a Memory Foam pillow or knock off. Forget but it is pretty good. Helps with my neck.
Guess every family has a Hiro.
Other than trying to beat your high score, or your significant others high score (damn you Holly) Wario Wares isn't really all the "challenging". It is fun once you beat all the levels and unlock the Multi-player. Invie your frineds and family over and try not to laugh as your mother-inlaw tries her hardest flap her arms up and down to she doesn't get eaten by a giant fish. Oh man good times.
Rachel and I were playing Warioware the other night. I stepped into my computer room to check e-mail and glanced out into the family room and had to laugh when I saw Rachel in the "elephant trunk" pose.
