So I’m trying to gravitate towards the lighter side of things. Work is producing more and more backlogs, thanks to the concept of fate and a little of procrastination.

I need a good, hearty laugh. Nothing seems to be funny as of late and I don’t know about you, but I liked Will Ferrell’s stuff so much more in the past. I gue

He may not be as

Have you ever watched a movie and just thought, wow, that was a dang good movie but I don't think I'll ever watch it again? For whatever reason, most of us have. Sometimes we just realize the entire movie just isn't that great once we know the ending. Other times, the movie is just too depressing and don't feel the need to

Now he's

However, viewing the same exact film on DVD recently, somehow opened my eyes to the reality that Dune may not be the cool movie that I thought it once was. After comparing the film with others of the same genre and era, it's sad I have to admit that
