George C Scott aka Patton is not a fan of Adam Sandler comedies…

First, an interview with Michael Lewis, author of the book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, which became the basis for the Sandra Bullock movie. Lewis discusses what inspired him to write the book about Michael Oher and sets up the story:

Here’s a CBN piece on Michael, the Tuohys, and Tony Henderson (aka Big Tony), who helped to look after Michael prior to his time with the Tuohy family. Big Tony was also responsible for getting him into Briarcrest Christian High School:

Here are the Tuohys talking to Mike Huckabee on his weekend show:

Part 2:

Some of it makes me shiver in fear, some of it makes me roll my eyes in disappointment. As a youtube commenter noted on the video: “1 person in charge of regulating bottled water” well yes? i expect that, like 1 person in charge of the USA, one person in charge of a football team. I support the general need to reduce plastic waste and transporting water, but films like this need a lot of stone cold facts, not clever wording.

Plus they can finally inject some personality into Disneylands New Orleans Square now that they have a movie that takes place there.

FrogPrince does look a lot like Prince Eric but I don’t think there’s much of a template to the Disney dudes outside this comparrison so I let it slide.

The villains had a little more depth to them as well: Lawrence didnt start out with bad intentions but was tempted into villainy which he later had doubts and regrets over and Dr Penis/Phallus/ShaddowMichaelJackson seemed to me to stay within a reasonable character profile.

I liked how there were nice people and cruel people, heart warmers and skeptics, charitable people and greedy people – of both races and it never appeared forced. you never, as you do with Pocahontas, see a jerk with X skin and know its just a matter of minutes till they balance it out with a jerk with Y skin. They even cleared the “work hard and don’t wait for handouts” + “womanizers outta settle down” + “think outside of your current view” + the all the other little anecdotes sprinkled about without sounding preachy and forced. the more i think about this movie, the more im so proud it wasn’t an embarrassing Fail.

If you have an ear for voices though, watching a dude with Goliath from Gargoyles voice doin a soft shoe (Dr F) and hearing Tigger (Ray the fly) with a Cajun accent could get distracting here and there.

Made me remember some of the comments I saw on the DailyBeast – “What’s next? Giget Goes to Auschwitz?” – “Anne Frank the musical To be followed by The Diary of Anne Frank On Ice!?” Reminds me of the Saturday TV Funhouse SNL sketch of a Disney version of Titanic that included a preview of Anne Frank singing “I’m gonna write a novel some day”.

Is this what we have to look forward to?…

Larry the Cable Guy plays a small-town deputy with big dreams about becoming an F.B.I. agent. Somehow, he’s banging Jenny McCarthy, who is still not past her expiration date at 36 (in real life, not the movie). She works at some food service place thing and the F.B.I. comes in with a lady in the witness protection program while Larry is there and somehow (I was trying not to pay attention) he ends up confiscating this chick from the F.B.I. guys and going on the run. So now the men in black dudes are trying to find them and Larry for some reason is trying to bang this girl who is less hott than his gf Jenny and I have no idea why. The witness protection girl is a bitch and Jenny shows no signs of being anything other than a great girlfriend so wtf?

There’s a lot of racial humor that doesn’t really make sense. Like the black F.B.I. guy orders coffee and Jenny McCarthy asks “black?”… cuz he’s black… get it?… I don’t either. Then later when Cable Guy and witness girl check into a hotel the clerk is the middle eastern lookin mofo from 40 year old virgin and there’s some references to his accent and nationalism and — why is he stealing this girl away from the government? I still don’t get this. And why is this girl the main female supporting actor when all the promo stuff has Jenny on it? And who is being made fun of exactly I’m not totally sure. Are the racial jokes supposed to be jokes?

Larry and witness girl go to the airport for some reason and have trouble with security cuz the mall-cop type TSA employees are drunk with power in a few digs at the Patriot act. Awesome humor in this scene includes noting that Larrys feet stink and then him shitting on a TSA guy? I think? They strip search him in full view so he’s nude and just covering his junk out there in front of everyone and they decide to investigate what might be a fuse coming out of his ass by a cavity search. Larry warns them that they don’t want to do that, but they do, and something terrible happens off screen to lead another employee to page “officer down!” before a smash-cut to another “meanwhile” scene.

this is what I look for in a movie. always.

While driving, Larry calls a friend and asks him to punch up the DOJ (Department of Justice) website for him. The friend asks “Dynomite Juggs?” I laughed. I wasn’t sure exactly how I was supposed to react when Larry now on the phone with someone else notes that “News travels fast – faster than Angelina Jolie adoptin jungle babies”. Really?…

The internetz says this movie was released in was released in theaters on February 22, 2008 but I never heard of it. You didn’t either? That’s odd. Rotten Tomatoes reported that 0% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 24 reviews.

I like the emotion in Eve (the chick robot)’s reaction to what she thinks is Wall-E’s death.

Here is a concept art of the new T-face that is floating around the internet claiming to be a leaked picture from Warner Bros:

Here is what TwoFace looked like in Batman The Long Halloween, which is what the Dark Knight is mostly based on:

Something that’s always been a constant in Two-Face portrayal has been the widened morbidly cleft lip on his bad side that reveals his teeth – which would cause immense drooling in real life, but who knows, maybe his bad side is dryer in the mouth as part of the accident. Another question on the Two-Face accident science is how could an accident THAT bad that screwed up his flesh so terribly, leave his eye intact and with no noticeable impairment? Well whatever, but back to the stetchy lip thing:
The Tommy Lee Jones version in Batman Forever didn’t attempt this in the make up, so this will be our first live action view of that aspect of the characters appearance.

It’s also disappointing that a pre-TwoFace Harvey Dent wasn’t in Batman Begins so his personal friendship and relationship with Bruce could have been developed more. In the original script of Batman Returns, Billy Dee Williams was to reprise his role as Harvey Dent and make the final turn into Two-Face at the end. Dent was deleted from the script because Burton “didn’t want the film to have connections with the previous Batman film”. No idea why. So instead Christopher Walken filled the part as a new character named Max Shrek who gets a wet eclectic kiss from Catwoman and dies a crispy death instead of a Two-Face birth. I love Walken in the part, but one of the dozens of things that would have made Batman Forever 10 times better would have been a deeper and serious storyline to Two Face like was originally planned.
