Quentin Tarantino's (possible) Blog

Well, people who've known me for a while know two things about me and The Quentin:

1. I don't care much for his films, and pretty much think he's a hack who uses unnecessary gimmicks to fuck up otherwise possibly interesting films, and
2. People say I look like him, and that annoys me.
   

Well, turns out, it looks like my evil twin started a blog on this here Blogger thingy.

Now, I'm entirely undecided - is it really him, or isn't it? The bets are on. Frankly, if he answers my question correctly, I'll know it's him. And I'll say so. And if he flunks it, I'll know, too. It's a fairly obvious thing for him to know, and one 99,9% of fans will not know at all. How do I know?

Well, I'll give "Quentin" a week, give or take. I'll say after that. It's nothing earth-shattering. But knowledge of this has, unless I'm mistaken, not spread over a couple thousand people, tops.

I forgot

Oh, and I wanted to say HI! to the Palestinian guy (or girl) who visited this site, Friday.

Drop me a mail, whoever you are - I wanna know what the hell you're doing reading this!

(For those who doubt, I've got the stats to prove this: according to my StatCounter thingy, at 16:08, on Friday the 27th of August, someone coming from "Palestinian Territory, Occupied", using IE 6.0 on Windows XP with a 1024x768 screen resolution visited the front page, and left. His IP was 213.244.83.##.)

Farenheit 9/11

Well, I finally got off my arse and went to see Farenheit 9/11.

To me, it basically feels as if this film is a waste of time and money on everyone's part. Not that it's a bad movie, or that it's not something I agree with - don't get me wrong. I'm behind every God Damned peacenik or Bush-hater there is.

It's just that no self-respecting Republican is gonna change his mind over something like this. It's not that the film isn't convincing. The point is that if you actually, firmly believe that going to Iraq and doing what you think needs to be done there is really a good idea, no influx of "facts" or "reasoning" is going to get through to you. Just as, I might add, no amount of pro-war facts or reasoning is ever going to make me change my mind.

Add that to the fact that a whole lot of stigmata has been added to this movie and its director - no self-respecting Republican will want to believe a filthy Left-wing nut over someone as, well, Right as, say, Limbaugh.

So, basically, for people who think that Bush needs to get the fuck out of the Oval Office, it's a film that firmly reinforces their bias - but they didn't really need it, didn't they. And, for people who will vote for him again, next October, either they won't go see it (which is entirely probable), they'll walk away after the first eight minutes (which means they'll have seen a ratio of 2 minutes of previews to 1 of film) or they'll walk out after the two hours thinking that this Moore character sure knows how to make a Good American Kid look bad, and he should be shot for Un-American Behavior.

Today on FOX - when hicks get hitched

Jesus Christ people can be dumb.

Nowhere else, but in Idaho. Come on, it had to happen someday.

Bonus link - with pictures!

I'm a filthy, filthy whore.

Yes I am.

You see, if you look below that little links list, you'll see Google ads. Now, this is the first, last and only time I'll mention them, mostly because I'm not supposed to. Really.

If I tell you to click on them, bang, I'm out. So I won't. Really. But I do promise that I'll fix the colors. They look like arse right now.

Also, just a quick thing, that little envelope with an arrow in it means that you can send this post via email to someone. Why you'd want to do that is beyond me, but it's a feature, so I put it on there.

Ta-taa.

This is hilarious.

Once again, Something Awful makes TEH FUNNIAZ. Really. That picture had me laugh out loud.

Firefox wants me!

Imagine my surprise - I check my email and what do I see?

An e-mail from Asa Dotzler ("community quality advocate extraordinaire" for the Mozilla Foundation that went like this:

We noticed and appreciate your recommending Firefox as an anti-terrorism measure ;-) at your weblog (), and we were hoping that you would further help get the word out by adding a small Firefox button to your blog. The image is hosted at mozilla.org and the code to add it is some very simple HTML.

We depend on word of mouth (or of blog) and we appreciate your helping to spread the word with positive blog posts. If you're interested in helping with this effort, you can find the buttons at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/buttons.html. .

Well, here it is, Asa:


It'll also have a rather prominent place in the right sidebar. I just need to figure out where I want to put it.

But, nevertheless, it's quite cool to have someone write me, especially since most of the hits I get are from people who look for the Rammstein video or the GWB nose job pics...

Nevertheless, Firefox rocks(z0rz) your socks(0rz). If you're not running it, you're a God Damned Synchronized Diver. Allright?

480-Pound Woman Dies After Six Years On Couch

My God, how do you let yourself go that bad? Seriously!

That's what you get for driving a f'kin SUV

Seriously.

Even though enough people have been told that SUVs were probably the worst kind of car you could buy, they still get them. Why? So they can be assholes on the road?

And second, to quote a BlogWars guy - "This is evolution in action. Those who choose not to wear a simple safety device can't complain when their carcass slides across the freeway, or worse."

Amen.

This is one of the stupidest photos I've ever seen.

If you're going to be getting pictures taken, why the fuck do you walk around looking confused by an ear of corn?

I swear to God.

A nice take on the elections in the US

A nice take on the elections in the US. I've always enjoyed Something Positive's outlook on life: offend as many people as possible, in the shortest amount of time.
