Went to see this tonight without any idea what it was about. Holy smokes! Shakespeare in the age of Hummers and Macbook Pros. Ralph Fiennes will get at least an Oscar nomination for his performance.

Do the Right Thing movie trailer
Remember this? Twenty-three years ago, this provocative story about racial tension hit the silver screen. As the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman case gets more weird, and more tense, I fear a hot and humid day in Florida will trigger a riot.

Herman Cain's new goldfish ad
Did you really think that you'd never hear from Herman Cain again? Wrong. Apparently, during his brief ascension, he raised quite a bit of cash. And he fell so quickly, he didn't even have a chance to spend all that cash. Here is a new ad put out by the ex-candidate.

Uggie the Dog should win an Oscar
Saw The Artist last night. The film was entertaining and innovative, but probably not worthy of an Oscar. The dog in it, Uggie, should definitely win Best Supporting Actor/Actress.

Who am I?
I wrote a bit about myself and my background on Hooniverse today.
To make this post on-topic, this is a wonderful car chase in Jackie Chan's Who Am I.

Alcan Highway movie trailer (and my Alcan trip pictures)
Alcan Highway - 4 min Trailer from Ulla Simonen / MADE on Vimeo.
H/t to Edvin.
Here are some of my Alcan Highway pictures from my 2007 trip. Once I find my journal, I'll write a more detailed accounting of my trip.
The Alaska Highway (also known as Alcan) is 1,400 miles long and stretches from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, to Delta Junction in Alaska. As I had a self-imposed rule of only traveling by public transportation, I rode a Greyhound bus from Dawson Creek to Whitehorse in the Yukon (where the service ends) and took a shuttle van from Whitehorse to Delta Junction and further on to Fairbanks.
Here is the bus making a pit stop. I think I had the best beef barley soup at this joint.
Here is some random glacier next to the highway. Truly spectacular. By this point, I had been "riding the dog" for three or four days straight (from Oakland, California).
I spent a day in Whitehorse and had some pretty good sourdough toast at a diner. I stayed at the cheapest motel in town-- it also had a hair salon, laundromat, and Indian restaurant.
Dave of Alaska Direct Bus Line picked me up in Whitehorse. He is a great photographer with a flickr page but I can't find it. The only other passenger was his daughter. We talked about Burma for a long time, for some reason.
We left town really early. This is Haines Junction at dusk.
This is Destruction Bay.
Dave snapping pictures during a break.
Our van.

Miss Bala movie trailer
We tried to go to a special screening of this movie last night, but alas, we got there too late. It looks promising.

Pusher trilogy movie trailers
The Danes sure know how to make some depressing movies.
After many months and a few nightmares, I finally finished the Pusher trilogy. They are dark, exciting, and well acted. The bald dude in the blue shirt in Pusher 3 makes Winston Wolf of Pulp Fiction look like a rookie.

Armadillo movie trailer
F*&kin' hell.
Out of the half dozen movies I've seen about the war in Afghanistan, this is by far the best. And it's not just the explosions and gunfire. The brief, subtle shots make this movie unforgettable.
The burly father choking up as he sees his son off to Afghanistan at the airport terminal.
The artillery spotter who accidentally kills a young girl.
The young private's facial expression as he realizes that he had just been shot.

Javier Bardem to play next Bond villain
Hilary Swank at Chechen president's birthday
This just goes to show that everyone, and I mean everyone, has a price.
She even gives a plug to a Turkish construction conglomerate. Wow.
She starts talking at 1:50:
