Remakes and Reboots
I hate them all.
As an avowed Trekkie™ (yes, TREKKIE. I hated TNG with a passion of three burning Betelgeuses), I am not thrilled at the whole prospect of the Star Trek reboot, much less the new flick. I’m sorry, I just can NOT deal with it. I know, I know…. not very open-minded of me. Whatever…. I am open-minded about what counts, like Steak Tartare and UGGs.
And now they have gone and remade The Evil Dead.
What the SHIT, people??
There are certain movies with which you do NOT fuck!! Gone With The Wind, Citizen Kane, shit, even that racist tripe Birth of a Nation should never, ever be remade. Oh, don’t think I didn’t see what they did with The Wizard of Oz. They knew they couldn’t remake it, so they did the next best thing: tell the story from a different point of view. Whatever. My point is, some things you just LEAVE THE FUCK ALONE!!!
What remakes or reboots have offended your sensibilities lately?? 
I Don’t Get It
Seriously, I don’t get this holiday.
Why would this motivate you to drink beer and margaritas?
Well, it’s not like we need an excuse around here for that.
Have a great Sunday!
Some Men…
…..just want to watch the world burn.
Found here.
Yes, y’all have seen it before, but I love the way the artist manages to stick it to the AGW dolts
Memorable Babble
I like Fridays around the interwebtubenets. Usually those are the days for a specific theme at several blogs. For example, our friend JohnD over at Nobody Move! has Friday Movie Quote. Last week on our Open Thread, maestro semprinin suggested that we post our favorite movie quotes. And with the amount of cinematic wordsmithery out there, this should be a piece of cake for most of y’all.
Yes, there are some people like that.
Anyway, rules are simple: everybody can post a limit of five quotes, giving the line, actor, and title.The more obscure, the better. Familiar quotes are fine, but make sure to quote correctly. None of this “Do you feel lucky, punk?” crap*. So, get started!!
*The actual quote is “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya, punk?”
Hooker of the Week
Well, today’s HOTW is exceptional and not along the H&B norm, but ArmedGeek ain’t here, so here you go:
Thanks to Conservative Hideout for the inspiration 
Rise and Shiny!
Well, it’s Sunday, and I really don’t feel like yapping about politics, so here is a poll for you:
Pink?
Or black?
You decide.
I’m off to take the kidlets shopping for Mom Day
Paper Chase
Today is “Drop Everything and Read” Day. I own a Nook Color, and a Nook Simpletouch, and many, many hardbacks and paperbacks. And invariably, I turn to the old fashioned book because A) I love the feel of turning the page, and 2) ruining a book in the tub is far easier on the wallet than ruining an e-reader.
Anyway, one of the favorite book memes in social sites is to pick up the book you are currently reading, and open it to a specific page, and post a specific sentence from it. So, grab your book, turn to page 96, and post the fifth sentence written. If we do this right, we will have a novel in no time.
Who knows…. it may make more sense than most of the tripe out there
Thirty Years Ago I Was in High School
omg…omg…omg…
Ok, I’m alright now. Anyway, Mental_floss has a list of things that turn 30 years old this year.
The Evil List:
- The Chicken McNugget. Not surprisingly, they taste 30 years old.
- The Disney Channel. Keeping parents hostage legally for decades.
- The Stairmaster. Enough said.
- The Carebears. Ugh…
- My Little Pony. Ugh to the seventh order of magnitude.
- AOL.
The Good List:
- Arpanet. Every geek knows.
- Mario Bros. Ditto.
- Microsoft Word. Ok, that’s a toss-up.
- Sally Ride and Guion Bluford. FTW in space.
- Kilauea began its continuous lava flow to this day.
- Apple IIe.
The Great List:
- The A-Team
- Hooters.
It’s a fun read. Just make sure you have a tissue and some hair dye handy before reading it
Happy Easter!!
Hope everyone has a nice, relaxing Sunday, and enjoy a peep show or two.
But the good kind of peep show.
Not the bad kind of peep show.
Have a wonderful day!!
Great Friday
Today is Good Friday in the Christian world. Not every one observes it, but I do know everyone observes Friday itself!
And yes, I am now counting the HOURS!!!
Anyway, for some of you, this day marks the end of the workweek, and the beginning of the weekend.
And I wondered, being a stay-at-home-mom-who-doesn’t-have-a-life type of gal, what y’all actually do. I mean, I know we clean house and scream at the kids to get moving other mundane stuff, but how about y’all?
How do you unwind?
