I really like Jeff Beck's new album a lot.

I read on Yahoo! that Tom Cruise's recent flick, Knight and Day, bombed. The story says that it bombed because the general public hasn't yet forgiven Tom for jumping on Oprah's couch several years ago.

I wonder whether it's the couch-jumping incident, or if it's his interview with Matt Lauer (the whole meds to treat depression thing), or if it's just his Scientology in general. I really wonder which of those is really behind the Tom Cruise ick factor.

Oooh I really liked Shutter Island!!!

I'm going to say it's because the general public thinks he's weird and can't relate to Tom Cruise the person, let alone as a "leading man".

I'm going to go with that. I mean it's not that I haven't 'forgiven' him for anything, he's just .. still weird. Very strange. As well as not particularly interesting as an actor. Johnny Depp is strange and he's at least an interesting actor, even if you don't think he's in good movies.

While everybody else went to midnight showings of Eclipse last night.. I am taking two teenage girls to the midnight showing of The Last Airbender 3D tonight. Oh yay (can you hear the sarcasm??)

I just flipped on MTV's "I used to be Fat" (which is like Made, except it's all people trying to lose weight, which is usually involved in everyone's Made anyway).

OH.EM.GEE. How the eff did this show get past the amount of people it needs to get past (directors, producers, network execs, etc) to get on the air without someone saying "THIS SUCKS!"??? This chick is the whiniest, cryingest baby I've ever seen...and I've been trapped in a car with two pissed off toddlers on various occasions.

So I can not wait until the 7th of June now. Just found out a band was created by two of my favorite artists and that is when they drop the first album.

So - the cheesy lawyer advertisements on TV - are those ads effective? Why would I want someone who morphs into a tiger representing me in court? And, what's reassuring about a guy whose name invokes lightening and thunder? I wonder whether these folks are taking themselves seriously.

Now I'm thinking about Tommy Jefferson and his American flag commercial. (Has anyone else been watching Harry's Law? I don't remember seeing any threads/posts about it. I'm really liking it!)

They take themselves very seriously.

I mock them.

There's a lawyer here who has.... Wait for it.... William Shatner as the spokesperson endorsing him.

I don't mind the lawyer commercials as much as the "HEY! What are you doing with your life? Get off your lazy ass and go to ABC Tech and School Of Cosmetology!" commercials.

Well he did play a lawyer on TV after all. Plus it's Captain Kirk. Enough said.

^^
Looks like he must be doing a lot of these commercials. I tried finding the local lawyer's ad but here's one for a MI lawyer.
