Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Indiana?

Hey ... Indiana has somebody with fewer loose ends: Greg Kinnear is from Logansport, Indiana. I guess that goes to show me that Indiana can have a celebrity who isn't too wacky, like Michael Jackson, Dan Quayle, et al. If all else fails, Orville Redenbacher --- yeah, Indiana can claim him! Indiana might be fat, might be categorically dumb, but we produce the greatest amount of popcorn and consume the greatest amount of ice cream, our crowning achievements.

Movies

"Jackbutt 2 Unrated" -- category of: didn't choose it, didn't want to see it, watched it anyway. The scariest part of the movie, knowing that one of them is actually married. I wasted my time here.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend was entertaining, not stellar by any means, but had some comical parts. Worth half to full rental fee. I wouldn't want to own it. Nudity was Luke Wilson. If you were hoping for Anna Farris or Uma Thurman -- dream on.

Girls Bravo! (Japanese anime). I'm beginning to think America sends the wrong message via media to Japan and vice versa. It is yet another comedy - adult themed show where a guy is surrounded by women, but is deathly afraid of them. In the course of the show he takes brutal punishment. It was odd; not funny, not terrible and certainly not good.

Hoodwinked
was quite an entertaining movie. There are a lot of background things you want to investigate, so well worth watching again. The music and artistry are great, as well as sound. The story -- many versions of events leading to a possible arrest. The plot isn't too complex, yet the comedy is good. Patrick Warburton, you would think would have been the woodcutter, but he worked better as the wolf. Nice casting, graphics. I recommend this movie. I know, that's a shock.

Curious George is a movie filmed in such a way that home viewing lacks what it offered in the theater. Some of the work appeared to be an attemept to match Margaret Rey's style of minimalist art, where the background often was limited in favor of an important scene in the story. Much like the character in the books, he is not bad, just curious.
