Rock the Vote


Now while I don't usually support celebrities using their star power to persuade voters on which candidate to vote for, I do support them telling people to get out and vote. VOTE.


But Matt Damon made some interesting observations about Palin in his interview with CBS that just can't be ignored. And we love the reference to a bad Disney movie. It may be the best analogy to come out of this election.
Nov. 4 is right around the corner so whether you listen to Matt or not get out there and vote.

See what...

Matt Damon really thinks of Sarah Palin.

SNL

Ideally both John McCain and Barrack Obama would be on Saturday Night Live together, just to see what happens. Wouldn't that be fun?

But it seems that it will only be John McCain on the show this Saturday with Matt Damon's bff Ben Affleck hosting. We've all heard what Matt has to say about Palin so I can only imagine what Ben thinks of her.

Will McCain be funny? Can he be funny? Let's see tune in to SNL this Saturday night. I'm crossing my fingers Tina Fey shows up to do a skit as Sarah Palin.

Oct 31

Don't forget that today is an important day for 2 reasons:

1. It's Halloween.
2. Depending on where you live early voting ends or starts today. So go VOTE.

How To Be (part 5)


Check out the website for How To Be http://www.howtobemovie.com/ and you'll find some interesting information about the film. The trailer, music included in the film, blogs, the cast and my personal favorite, the scrapbook.


Click on the scrapbook link and the best information is buried at the bottom. A link to self-help guru Dr. Levi Ellington's home page.


Seriously? This absurd old man is a real doctor. He wasn't an actor or someone in the films senile grandfather, he's a real honest to blog self help guru. Looks like the director really went for authenticity with that portion of the film.


Here's Dr. Levi Ellington's home page- take a look and see if you think he might be able to help you? Ha, I doubt it but you never know.

House of Torment: from the parking lot

Abby, 19, never made it to the entrance of the House of Torment.

Running across the parking lot as fast as her legs could take her screaming and on the verge of hysterics, Abby propelled herself towards the parked cars with a purpose. That purpose; to get as far away from the House of Torment as possible.

“Mommy it’s scary, I’m going to have a heart attack,” Abby said.

As I approached Abby to ask for an interview she clutched my arm and clung to my side while refusing to let me walk away from her.

“Don’t leave me, don’t leave me, he’ll come and get me if you leave me,” Abby said.

She dragged me 20 feet away into the Highland Mall parking lot near the Macy’s entrance and next to a faded gold Toyota Corolla where she continued to cry and scream as she was taunted by the ghoulish figure dressed in full black shredded clothes holding a skeleton.

By the time Abby’s parents found her in the parking lot I had almost lost full feeling in my arm. I was left with a red imprint of Abby's hand on my forearm to remind me that sometimes the scariest parts of haunted houses don’t always take place inside.
