.alt>rant and rave!




Spiderman 3.
Batman Returns 12.
Superman 7,000,000.

I am so over movie superheroes and the endless line of sequels.
I am so over everything.


The Rave!


7/11 has a new arrival. It's the white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie and you can find it along with the whole family of 7/11 cookies in the "bakery" that sits in the middle of each store. You grab a bag and pick n' choose and mix n' match the cookies you want.
It is surprising that Southland Corporation, the headquarters of 7/11, did not allow their number one cookie fan (me) a preview of the new arrival since I have been known to eat a couple of these gems from time to time.*
The white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie is not as good as their old faithful chocolate chip but light years better than the dreaded coconut pecan cookie. I only get that cookie if everything else is sold out. No chocolate chip, no oatmeal raisin, no peanut butter etc. The coconut pecan is like a tourniquet. To be used only at the last resort.

The good news is that 7/11 is making a big deal about the fact that these cookies have no trans fats- you know the stuff that we eat that we cant taste or understand but we are sure is killing us. They have rolled back the pricing so that a single cookie is now 49 cents instead of 59 cents. You get a discount based on the amount of cookies you purchase. I am usually good for 3, but since they no longer have trans fat what the hell I will start picking up four at a time.
How is that for rationalization?
Now instead of being filled with trans fat, I will just be.....fat.

A Slow Burn

I went to the movies and saw The Last King of Scotland today. I got to thinking that the commercials before movies are parallel to global warming.

Something that kind of crept up on us....
Something that we kind of gave into ....
and possibly something that can be controlled.

The Critics Agree.....

It completely pisses me off when I see a movie trailer or preview which starts out with the words "The critics agree...."
Who exactly are these "critics"?
I have no idea what they all agree on (and doubt that EVERY SINGLE CRITIC agrees) and even if each and every critic agreed that the particular movie is good I wouldn't go see it because I hate the idea that these marketing folks use THE CRITICS as the barometer to gauge whether the film could get me laid would be worthwhile for me to see.
