The Z View
The movie is showing this Saturday at UW-Fox Valley starting at 3:15pm. To here more about the movie, check out our interview from this morning with Dan Davies, star and co-creator of the film. Click here.
There's a new Karate Kid movie coming out in 2010 and I'm not sure how fans of the original are going to react.
Growing up I loved watching the Karate Kid. It had everything, comedy, action, villains, a love interest and a fly getting snatched by chopsticks. It had it all! It also provided great lines like "wax on, wax off" and "sweep the leg". There's actually a song about Johnny sweeping Daniel's leg:
I am curious about this new version. I am a big Jackie Chan fan and it will be interesting to see how his role, Mr. Han, will compare to the original Mr. Miyagi character. What I'm not all that excited about is Jaden Smith (Will Smith's son) getting cast as the Daniel Larusso character, although his name will be Dre Parker. When I watch the trailer I just keep focusing on how tiny he is and how he looks like a 6 year old! Maybe it's just me but even if a kid his size learned karate, would he really be able to hurt anyone with it? Also, will the crane kick make a comeback or will there be a different move that Dre uses to take down his competition? And if it's a special kick that he uses, will he be able to reach his opponents with it? Seriously, he's tiny. Maybe the twist will be that Mr. Han fights all of Dre's battles for him. That I could believe.
I know that people can get lonely and not everyone has the time to go out and meet new people, especially when it comes to the dating scene. But would you, at your lonliest point, seek out companionship with a robot?
This inventor, Le Trung, has got to be crazy. He actually says that she will react to certain types of touching. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW HE FOUND THAT OUT!!!!! Also, his mom and dad are cool with this? What kind of parents let their son, hopefully their only son (the world would be a better place), go on with this ridiculous fembot fantasy?
I blame movies like the Stepford Wives and Austin Powers for showcasing fembots as a possible reality. I will say this, if Aiko can shoot from her chest,
I might be able to get on board with this lifestyle. How sweet would that be?!
It seems that just in time for Christmas, Santa is dealing with his own Tiger scandal. Poor Santa......
Well it was only a matter of time, right? Once all of Tiger's trashy ladies aired his dirty laundry, you knew that Elin was going to go the divorce route. It's not 100% yet, but do you really think she will change her mind and give him another chance? It seems as though he is a sex addict and that's not going to change. I'm not the only one who mentioned the term "sex addict" when talking about Tiger Woods, here's Dr. Drew on the Joy Behar Show.
If Elin would have stuck it out with Tiger and tried to make things work, she would have been the fool in this situation. Instead, that title remains in place for Tiger, although I can think of many more terms that you could apply to his actions.
If you are someone who plays fantasy football that's great. I play fantasy football and I really enjoy it from week to week. If you play in a league that charges a fee, I'm not going to criticize you. But if you spend time at work playing fantasy football, how dare you! You should know better and if you don't, it could cost you your job.
I get that they charged to be a part of the league, but to fire four people over about $20? That seems a bit harsh. Maybe the higher ups that made the decision to fire these four were also in the league and are having terrible years. You never know and the truth may never come out.
What happens when you mix large amounts of packy snow with large amounts of alcohol? I'm glad I asked:
After bar close, a bunch of Madisonians (most students at UW I would assume), got together to roll a giant snowball. But that's not where the fun ends. On a different street, this happened:
When it comes to choosing colleges next year, keep Madison on the list. Even in the winter, there's never a dull moment.
I come across crazy stories all the time but this is a first. I've heard of people keeping unusual pets in their homes, but a deer? Seriously?
I'm glad they give her ice cream, so often people will keep a wild animal and not pay enough attention to their diet that they've enjoyed in the wild. If they would have denied her ice cream, I would have called PETA.
Did Mike write that story? Those were some wicked puns.
It was only a matter of time before the text messages between Jaimee Grubbs and Tiger Woods came out. If you haven't seen them, here you go.
My favorites are the one where he calls himself "blasian" and the one where he says "quiet and secretively we will always be together." Not so quiet anymore and it's no longer a secret.
If you happen to see a large, odd looking ice cream truck speeding by you on the highway it's probably Cheech and Chong. They aren't filming part two of Nice Dreams in which they created "Happy Herb's Nice Dreams Ice Cream", they are just trying to get to Denver as fast as they can. Why? That's where you will find a restaurant called the Ganja Gourmet, where they serve food items laced with pot.
You can argue whether it's right or wrong but you have to admit it's a brilliant business strategy. You eat the food and suddenly you are hungry again so you eat again. The cycle never ends. This place will never be without customers. They might come in and never leave, but they will always have customers.
