Say, you know how Johnny Depp uses famous people as the basis for some of his characters? Like Keith Richards is the basis for Captain Jack Sparrow, and Willy Wonka is sort of a hybrid of Carol Channing and Michael Jackson? Well, I just watched the trailer for Alice in Wonderland (he is playing the Mad Hatter), and I think his inspiration for the character is Madonna.

I joke I would like to work for Rand Mcnally, but as I am unemployed it is not a joke anymore..someone call me!!

Movie theaters make me sweat and clench my jaw and fists. I would love it by myself, but I need utter silence and concentration to watch something so I have to wait for dvd or pay per view to get on that. I think this might be my age showing thru…

I agree with an earlier post about Pittsburgh. I have never come home from that city the same way I got there.

Movies – Our culture has just about reached subhuman level. Especially when it comes to what we used to call back in the day, “common courtesy”. Nowhere is this more evident than in movie theaters. I’ve got all the usual complaints, talking during the movie, answering cell phones, feet propped up on other people’s chairs, lip smacking your food like you’ve haven’t had a decent meal since Jimmy Carter was president.

And what is it with old people and their damn hard candy?! They fumble around with the wrapper with the grace of a family of raccoons at the dumpster. I guess hard candy is the only way to go when you can’t handle popcorn or chewy candy because of your dental work or lack thereof.

Music – That Tinted Windows cd is ok, but you need to check out the new Cheap Trick release, “The Latest”. Especially like their snappy rendition of Slade’s “When The Lights Are Out”.
