Sad Story

For those of you who don't know or haven't heard of the movie Inglorious Basterds, it is a fictional story written by the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino about the Germans, French, and Americans involvement in the war and about how the downfall of Hitler came about.

Now in this movie, Aldo Rein, an American infantry unit leader, and his men ambush Hitler at a cinema event where he is caught off guard, while Mrs. Mimieux, the cinema owner, also attempts to kill all in the theater by burning nitrate film reels. Aldo's men gun Hitler down and all others as the cinema burns to the ground.

A friend I use to work with saw this movie with his girlfriend, a model. For all with any basic knowledge whatsoever of the World War, you know this story couldn't be farther from the truth. It was at this moment that Nick's girlfriend turned to him and said:

Idiot: Is that really what happened?
Nick: uh...... Yep (smiles)
Idiot: Oh! That's what I thought.
Nick: (says to himself "wow, I have to leave her")

Sad it is, the lack of basic common sense there is in the world.

Ice Cream Man

As a kid I was happy to hear the tone of his truck driving on my street, as I ran at front, hoping to not be too late to catch him and get an ice cream bar in the shape of an animated character with gum balls for eyes. Now as I see this creepy man driving, most recently in September, which I know is not current but I felt compelled to write about it, I think that his role is not much different then ol' Mr. Sandusky, attempting to lure children, preferably in large quantities, away from their homes and to his place. The difference is the Ice Cream man builds some rapport with the children and has the nerve to charge the kids money! I'm onto you! Ice Cream Man Beware...

Teen Mom

At one in the morning, Manuel and I happened to come across the television show called Teen Mom. The fascination with this show is still beyond our comprehension, but as our interests were peaked by the sad people who subject themselves to these ridiculous circumstances, we began watching it more and more. Later joined by Toni and Brad, we embarked on a marathon of watching this television show and following the stupid decisions made by these idiotic adolescents. Say what you will about this television show, these people have some pitiful lives and that makes it interesting enough to watch.

Get Out

Recently I began a new job. This occupation was a display specialist for products under Berkshire Hathaway. Now, the pay was good, hours reasonable, and the duties themselves, easier than being a Mom, the easiest job in the world. However, after only my first week I will be forced to quit based on one sole factor, association. Before you say that is ridiculous,let me tell you a story my co-worker relayed to me."My life sucks man. I'm just wrapping up my divorce that is going to cost me upwards of a million. I consulted a friend about having her killed and he said for $10,000 he would make her disappear...Couldn't do it though. I'm too honest. If the police would've asked me I would have told them the killers name." Now this story is not only true, but not even the worst I have heard. I had to get out!

Cinema (Part 2)

The following films are the latter half of my top ten list. I have recently completed the first 100 films on IMDB's top 250. I previously posted my top five and whats below is my number 6-10:

6. Reservoir Dogs- In this film, a jewelry heist goes wrong because of a tip-off from an insider. The story explains each character and their search for a mole.

7. The Shining- This showcases what I think to be Jack Nicholson's finest acting. A writer becomes caretaker to a winter lodge where while he is secluded here, is driven mad and attempts to kill his family. He has a real knack for playing a psycho.

8.  Gladiator- Terrific acting and filled with action, a man is falsely accused of killing the emperor and sentenced to slavery. This story explains his journey back to freedom.

9. The Godfather- Enough said.

10. Momento- A Christopher Nolan film, about a man who searches for the man who killed his wife, though he struggles to remember all of what happened.

The Box

A movie where a man offers a choice, a test of morals. Now for some the answer would be easy yet, for others maybe not. What follows is what would happen if I would have been offered this deal:
Man: Brock, if you press this button two things will happen. First thing, you will receive one million dollars...
Brock: (Pushes the button)
Man: Uh, didn't you want to know what else happens?
Brock: Nope.
Man: Well someone just died.
Brock: Why didn't you say that before hand?
Man: I tried to. Well, you failed the moral test.
Brock: Dang!

Notice for Wife

Dear Future Wife,
Please don't get the real world mixed up with limbo and then kill yourself in the real world while at the same time making it extremely difficult to do my job by always showing up uninvited and shooting or stabbing someone. If you could just make sure you keep a metal spinning top on your person at all times to distinguish reality that would be great.
Thanks,
Brock
