Saw the trailer for that. One remake that will, definitely, having me part with $15. Don’t know if Mrs. C will join me, though – although, if I have to see “New Moon” – she owes me one.
I’m a sucker for Robin Hood. Even the Kevin Costner one. Of course, if Kevin Costner just stood there for 2 hours, I’d pay to see it. Maybe more so since I wouldn’t have to be embarrassed by his acting.
Since everyone dogpiled on me about not wanting to make a lot of blanket statements about “Avatar” before I saw it, I’m surprised no one was evidently interested enough to check out my (typically longwinded) review. I can’t believe anyone would have read me saying something like this “You know what? Screw Mother Nature! I’m sick of that bitch calling the shots, and I’m sick of her stooges trying to make me feel bad because my ancestors came down out of the trees and learned how to grow their own food rather than relying on her inconsistent whims. Seriously – if you’ll allow me an aside for a moment here – once you learn how to use tools, evolution is done with you. You cease to be shaped by your environment, and you start to shape the environment yourself. Only 14% of this planet is even remotely nice to live on to begin with. If I had my choice between living in a neat place like New Orleans, and getting my drowned ass handed to me on a plate by a hurricane in one of Mother Nature’s unpredictable manic-depressive hissie fits, or going to live on a nice Babylon 5-styled LaGrange colony, or under a nice dome on some other planet, where the weather is always pleasantly air conditioned, and there are no vermin or irritating bugs, only things we choose to take with it – well, hell, kids: no contest. I’d be gone in a minute. Mother Nature kicked our asses for three million years, until we wised up (literally) and turned the tables. The evangelical environmental movement (My own name for it) is basically a bunch of goons that want us to go back to Mother Nature beating up on us – they actually buy all this “Noble Savage” crap, which no American Indian I know does – in hopes of slinking unseen back into the garden of Eden.” And not have commented on it.
This just in. CNN reports Jim Webb will I repeat will vote yea on this crapsandwich. Bite me Jim Webb. And still no word from Marcoe.
And this is not a Center LEft nation.
Happy Sunday, all! Hope everyone is ready for the week ahead.
Emma Peel! Emma Peel! She was all I wanted for Christmas when I was 16.
Ridley Scott has remade “Robin Hood” with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett…how cool is that?

Pessimism is so 08.
My review for Avatar is online here http://www.republibot.com/content/movie-review-%E2%80%9Cavatar%E2%80%9D-2009-spoiler-lite
Brittany Murphy has just died at age 32 from an apparent heart attack.
Huh, that’s sad. She was a Good in Clueless. “Now for the rest of the night I’ll be remembered as that girl who fell on her ass.” or somesuch.
You’re a virgin who can’t drive.
Rollin with my homey’s.

Paging David Marcoe….. Any news about where Joe might be?

Sorry, I’ve been away all day. I’ve seen no news on Lieberman.
RedState has a breakdown on what’s needed to kill the bill in conference.
Lieberman was at his Senate desk bending us over it tonight
Time to focus on the conference.
