Complicity at its Faintest

quote
The first thing I want to reveal about Avatar is that it’s a musical. That was a complete surprise. I knew it was in 3-D and groundbreaking CGI but I didn’t know that director James Cameron was a songwriter in the tradition of Cole Porter and Alan Jay Lerner. All I can say is, get ready. If you loved My Fair Lady, think My Fair Lady in 3-D. Imagine Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison plunging into your popcorn. That’s what it’s like.

Holiday Movie Switcheroo

After two unsuccessful recordings, my DVR finally managed to capture The Santa Clause, Tim Allen’s best movie and a solid holiday classic.  Just sat down to watch it only to have A Christmas Story, the most overrated holiday movie of all time, start to play.  That’s the holiday movie equivalent of finding out the girl you took home from the bar is not a girl.

And now I have to watch The Santa Clause 2 without it’s significantly better predecessor to lead in, just to get my Christmas movie fix, since I’ve already scheduled times with friends to watch the rest of the holiday classics.

Crazy Wind...

On the way home from a game with the basketball team I coach, the wind was blowing so hard, it was literally pulling the bus doors open as we drove down the highway.  Needless to say, the freshman girls were a bit terrified.  It was delightfully entertaining watching their eyes get wider and wider as the wind kept blowing harder.

Unfortunately, that was the most emotion most of them showed all evening.

Best. Hotline. Ever.

cockenblog:

Here’s what you’re going to do. Call the Nestle Crunch Hotline at 1-800-295-0051. When asked if you want to continue in English or Spanish, say nothing for about 10 seconds and you’ll uncover a delightful surprise. Press 4 listen to the options menu.

My recommendation: Option #7 has some pretty imperative health advice for the Holiday Party season

(Thanks for Steph for finding this gem).

We liked Option #4, mostly because for a second we forgot about the snow outside.
