Tough Times + Public Enemies Trailer non-News

Public Enemies Photo blog - updated

There was a report over at Imdb that some guy had seen the trailer and he reported that it would be out by the end of February. Of course everybody was all ga ga over this which I felt was odd because when I reported my vague rumor of a reshoot I was jumped on for creating rumors and just trying to get attention.

But this guy got a free ride.

I was the first to play devils advocate and when I hit reply I covered my gonads waiting for someone to start kicking me for being a poopy-head jealous person. The regulars are now chiming in and it's looking like a hoax. We shall see. I emailed 1st Assistant director Bob Wagner to see if he knows anything but figure I'll get nothing in return unless it's in some coded message I'll have to decipher and guess at.
================================

I want to post an email from a friend - I won't say who because I have not gotten his OR her permission but I'm thinking a lot of people are feeling this way. He OR she writes

"Is it just me? This not knowing or seeing any real news of the movie is driving me nuts? It's like waiting for Christmas but not knowing the date, every day we go by without anything make me think the July 1 date is just arbitrary."

I think this also has to do with the winter in general. My mom has been depressed and a friend of hers asked why. She said "Have you heard of ANY good news in the last few months?" The reply was "The Miracle on the Hudson**!" But it was bad luck the birds hit the plane she said.

Every time I hear "Miracle on the Hudson" I think of Kate Hudson and one night stands.

This is why Flight 1549 is getting SO much air play. People are just looking for something good to latch onto. Something they can smile about. The poor crew (who have been awarded the Master's Medal of the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators also known as The MMGAPAN) have had to relive the event hundreds of times for the news.

I had to laugh last night when they were on Letterman and Sully(we're on a first name basis now on facebook as I am one of his 600,000 friends) was talking about his job in "landing" the craft and Letterman turns to the copilot Jeffrey Skiles from Wisconsin and asks "what were you doing during all of this?" Skiles says "Oh, I was paralyzed with fear!" and the audience erupts!

Something no one had mentioned was that there were no pets on the flight.

Sully has mentioned that he still has trouble sleeping and dreams. WELL YEA!!! I'm sure Left Hand Louie had some interesting dreams in his ordeal with gunman and I know when I was held up at gun point I was smooth and collected until I tried to sleep. Crazy dreams.
==================
Speaking of Left Hand Louie I bottled a brew he should like (along with adubya). An American Pale Ale. Actually it's an Amarillo SMaSH. Single Malt and Single Hop. Tasted pretty great just before bottling.

And speaking of beer - We're hitting the Kurth tonight if anyone else is interested.
===================
Anybody watching American Idol? We seem to watch it every 3rd year. Lots of good male singers this time and a lot of female drama queens. What I find interesting is that some of the songs being song are HITS from previous winners.

I never thought there would be any actual STARS from this show when it came on the air but there have been a few serious winners. Carrie Underwood is THE Country Star who set records with her 2nd album as the most sales for a solo female Country album in history. Kelly Clarkson has sold 17 million "albums" and as the #1 hit right now on the Pop charts.

Winners from Idol
Kelly Clarkson
Ruben Studdard (Clay Aiken was the real winner)
Fantasia Barrino (Jennifer Hudson was the real winner)
Carrie Underwood
Taylor Hicks - bomb!
Jordin Sparks
David Cook - who?? maybe it's too early.
=================================
New show to watch for.

For fans of Buffy the Vampire Killer, Firefly, the movie Serenity and Joss Whedon in general comes Dollhouse. Sort of a cross between, Quantum Leap, Alias, and Dark Angel and so forth. Scientists take hot looking males and females, wipe their brains of all memory's and reinstall new memory's and muscle memory's for missions of pleasure and killing or whatever a client needs done. Then they come back and are wiped clean again for the next mission. Except one woman starts to remember the past. Entertainment Weekly gives it a B- so far. It's on Friday Nights (the night where all good shows go to die).

Survivor.

I never got my audition tape in for Survivor 20 Grinders Island but I did make a label. Didn't make the beer though - I wonder if I could call an APA a Bitter.


The new Survivor is on this Thursday and it looks AWESOME. BIG twist and Jeff Probst says he guarantee you will love this cast. Make sure you watch it. Someday you will see me on the show (as the old guy being voted off first because I'm The Old Guy that won't shut up).

I just could not do the next Survivor. With Public Enemies SUPPOSE to be out July 1st and filming taking place at that very time, I did not want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity. I can always audition for Survivor.
===============================
This day in Wisconsin History

1842 - Shooting in the Legislature
On this date the Territorial Legislature of Wisconsin met in Madison, only to be interrupted by the shooting of one member by another. The legislature was debating the appointment of Enos S. Baker for sheriff of Grant County when Charles Arndt made a sarcastic remark about Baker's colleague, James Vineyard. After an uproar, adjournment was declared and when Arndt approached Vineyard's desk, a fight broke out during which Vineyard drew his revolver and shot Arndt.

Thanks Graham Man

AND one last thing - I found this the other day and thought that it was funny - the guy is not in the White House anymore but . . . .



Have a wet day!
