Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel rant

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel has made nearly 200 million in North America. It has remained in the number three spot for a while now, and it has still made a lot of money. I’m still floored by the sheer devotion families have for this movie. I understand people want to take their kids to see something harmless and “cute”, but showing them a substandard product doesn’t really fit the bill for me.

How about taking them to see something better like say The Princess and the Frog?

And, I really don’t want to put any more money into Jason Lee’s pocket, because it only helps Xenu.

A co-worker refused to take his girlfriend to see the movie because he said, “I will never see a movie with the title The Squeakquel in it.” He is a wise man.

I'm disgusted by self-appointed critics like you, who think only the Hollywood machine can make a satisfying movie. The Squeakquel, like everything featuring the Chipmunks, is powered by the Bagdasarian family's love for their late patriarch (played by Jason Lee in these most recent movies). If you prefer corporate marketing-driven films like Disney's crass attempt to expand its Princess brand, well then I guess that's your taste -- but I don't have to swallow it.

Wow, I had no Idea there was someone out there that feel so strongly for a movie called the “Squeakquel”. Congratulations!
I don’t know if you’re more pissed I attacked Jason Lee, who isn’t in the movie long, or the actual movie. If you can’t see that this is merely a money grab, like you claim Dinsey is doing, I can’t convince you otherwise.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...

Kouri Richins | Are you with me ?

Image
  Kouri Richins was just found guilty.  She was the one who was looking for “That Michael Jackson shit.” This woman wrote a children’s book about her husband’s death.  This was after she gave him a drink full of Fentanyl.  There was so much in the drink that it would kill him a hundred times over. I just love that she was so sure she got away with it that she “wrote” a book to capitalize on it.   By the way, she did not write the book.  It was ghostwritten.  This was a grief book to “teach” kids about loss.  What a POS.  The name of the book is Are You With Me?   Yes, he was with you when his wife was found guilty.  Not sure if she will write a sequel.  She is Not With Us.   By the way, the channel changed the name of the interview video after her guilty verdict.
