Today I thought I'd plug some random stuff that I think will rock your ass.

The movie you should see in theaters:
-The Departed:Martin Scorcese shows the world that he's still the best American, or otherwise, director around today.
The movie you should see on DVD:
-The Shawshank Redemption:Still, possibly my favorite movie of all time. I have yet to find a single thing about that film I don't like. Nearly flawless.
The CD you should buy:
-Anything by Lewis Black:
Find someone who's never heard his stand up before and pop one of his CDs in the stereo while you're on your way somewhere. Watch how hard they laugh and thank me for saving you the trouble of making conversation.
The computer game you should buy:
-Rome: Total War:
I rediscover this game every couple of months and it rocks my geeky ass every time. If you've ever been into strategy/war simulators this is the way to go. The guys over at Total War don't fuck around. I started playing last night around 9pm, thinking I was just going to play a few turns then finish watching a movie. Fast forward to 1am, I'm thinking: "I'm just going to defeat the Gauls. That's it! I'm going to wipe those ancestral French bastards off the fucking map! Then, I'll go to bed."
Meal you should eat:
-If you're in college and you haven't had Stouffer's French Bread pizza for breakfast with Dr. Pepper, I don't want to have anything to do with you.

Trivial knowledge

I'm a total geek and like to collect trivial facts that anyone with a life wouldn't know. So I've decided to share some of this uncommon knowledge with you.

-Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is extremely overrated.

-So is the movie Lost in Translation.

-Esquire magazine erroneously listed Scarlett Johansson as the sexiest woman alive when it is clearly Betty White.

-If you're favorite movie is Scarface you're probably a douche bag.

-They're making a Jurassic Park IV and no one's been holding there breath on a sequel since the second one came out.

-Hating Ben Affleck is really outdated.

-For some reason Columbo references are en vogue.

-I hate all Japanese animation despite any logic or reason.

-Most art house flicks aren't as good as people say they are.

-Lost in Translation really sucked. I just wanted to reiterate that.

-Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas isn't really that attractive. I wouldn't say no if she was all up on this piece of hairy white Irish ass, but that isn’t saying much.

-Alec Baldwin is the man.

-I don't care what anyone says: Dude Where's My Car is a cinematic triumph.

-Project Runway is so gay I don't think gay people watch it.

-You should really be doing something else other than reading this.
