So earlier today, my Dad suggested to me that we go see “Inglourious Basterds.” I wasn’t particularly excited about seeing this movie, but the ads looked decent, and hey, what the hell else is there to do on a Monday at 6:40pm? So I said “sure, why not?”
Man, what a great decision that was. If you have not already done so, go see “Inglourious Basterds” IMMEDIATELY! This move kicked 7 different shades of ass. There was a lot more gore than I expected (which is saying something when Tarantino is involved), but many of Quentin’s trademarks (no pun intended) turned what could have been a paint-by-numbers war movie into something truly epic. Awesome dialogue, weird-yet-strangely fitting soundtrack, and a strong cast (Brad Pitt turned in another solid performance… has this guy ever disappointed?) make this a must see picture.
Of course, if you’re looking for historical accuracy, this is not the film for you (those who have already seen it know exactly what I’m talking about!). However, if you can enjoy a few hours of good, not-so-clean fun, “Inglourious Basterds” is definitely a good choice for your next movie.
If I had to sum up the movie in one word? Entertaining. Take that for what it is worth.

You know what makes “Curb Your Enthusiasm” so brilliant? Larry David is ALWAYS right. It’s the other people that he encounters in his life who are in the wrong. Larry has difficulty explaining himself at times, I’ll admit that, but he is often not given a fair chance to do so. Larry is fair, rational, and usually very level-headed when dealing with people, whereas everyone else around him will respond with knee-jerk reactions and raw emotion. The problem is, Larry tells it like it is, and most people are too oversensitive to handle him. We could all learn a thing or two from Mr. David. Keep it real, Larry!

What’s up y’all?

So, I am looking for a new job. Finding work in this economic climate is a daunting task to begin with, but to make things even more stressful, I only have 2-3 weeks to find something. So, I am asking for your help. If any of you know of any job openings in the Philly area, have some promising leads, or could just pass along suggestions of where to apply, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this process.

Thanks!
Tom
