My Blog In the Middle of Your Net

Sometimes when I’m really bored, I sort of monologue in my head about different subjects.   Last night, while I was at work, I had a few of those moments. I decided to jot them down on my phone, send them to my email, and put them up here for you to read.   Here are three things I thought while I was bored at work. The perfect woman for me would be an attractive woman with a personality I don't hate. That much is obvious for almost any straight male. I have one more rule. She needs to allow me to name our first born son Hannibal Cannibal. It isn't that I am in love with the movies. Silence of the Lambs is good, I like Red Dragon, and I've never seen the other three. The name just rolls off the tongue when placed in front of my last name. It rolls so well. You don't need to know my last name. You just need to know how well it flows with the first name Hannibal and the middle name Cannibal. I need a woman who will allow our kid to have that name. There are ...

Alright guys and girls.   It’s Tuesday, my time.   That means I have to get this thing up.   Movie Talk On Sunday.   That’s right.   After all of this time where I tried to coax other people into hosting just so that they would do the theme of teenage sex comedies, I have gotten the chance to host.   What’s my topic?   It’s not teenage sex comedies, I’ll tell you that much right now.   I’ll get to the topic in a few minutes.   I’m going to need to go over a few things about this whole hootenanny first.

Most movies need a gimmick in order to get people to watch them.   The movie could involve lots of big name cast in an ensemble.   There could be 3-D.   There could be someone playing multiple parts.   Then you get into the writing “gimmicks” which include things like real-time, the entire story being in one day, based on real events, or the one I want to take a look at, movies that take place in mainly one specific location. There is something about a movie set primarily in one location that interests me.   Every time I hear about one, I am automatically interested in watching it.   I’m invested in finding out how well the idea was executed on film or digital or whatever they are recorded on.   I want to see if the writing can bring the story above the obstacles of single location movies or primarily single location movies.   I want to see if the direction can keep me interested in the movie.   I want to see if the acting can get me in...
