A DB Hits The Acura

Last night I was in San Francisco, driving up 19th Avenue when some douchebag decided he/she couldn’t resist inching forward when traffic was at a complete stop and hit me.  Pardon my language, but I then (as I feel the jolt) said, “What the fuck?!”
I then gave whomever it was a signal to pull to [...]

A Look Back: The Way Of The Gun

I guess the theme of this week is movie reviews. At least one person was “shocked” by my review of There Will Be Blood, which was expected. Like I said, the movie was filled with great acting and cinematography. However, the story didn’t entertain me. I think too many people look [...]

There Will Be Boredom

I expected more from There Will Be Blood – a lot more.  After all, this was a movie that won two Oscars.  I should know better; Oscar wins don’t mean I will like the movie, even if I’m a complete movie whore.
You probably know the background so I won’t really touch on it much.  It [...]

Bangkok Dangerous

Unlike Burn After Reading, I was positive I would hate this movie.  From what I read, it received mostly shit reviews.  Then again, just because Bangkok Dangerous rated 5.4 on IMDB shouldn’t mean I won’t like it.
Nicolas Cage is Joe – an assassin whom the Russians “swear by.”  He is in Bangkok to do four [...]

Burn After Reading = Burn After Watching?

What a lame title to this post.  Well, the point is to be totally hack, so there ya go.
Yesterday I picked up Burn After Reading. I hadn’t heard too much about this film, but it’s the Coen Brothers, so you can’t go wrong, right?
It currently sits at 7.4 on IMDB with just over 51,000 votes.  [...]

Good Flight Deals Can Be Found

I recall the year of 2008 being just awful for finding good flight deals.  Some of you may have found some, but I heard numerous horror stories about the price of fares.
From March 7-14 I will be back in the Upper Midwest visiting my parents (NW Minnesota).  I fly from San Jose, CA to Fargo, [...]

NHL Skills Competition Coverage

Yesterday I was watching the NHL Skills Competition on Versus.  Most of the coverage is pretty good, even if I cannot stand Mike Emrick any longer.  His voice just cuts through me.
I believe it was last year or perhaps two years ago when they added the Young Stars game.  A three-on-three game featuring one squad [...]

Now THIS Is Creative

While some people spent their Friday evenings getting into trouble, drinking Lowenbrau, and singing No Doubt’s “Hella Good,” others were showing creativity.  Check out Kimmi’s take on a recent transaction over at She Moves In Her Own Way.
My thoughts on this?  I like the boots.  Oh, and the sunglasses at night.  Speaking of sunglasses at [...]

Pardon Me

If you’re visiting this site right now you will notice that my ‘custom image header’ is gone.  I’m trying to come up with a new one, so just relax.  There are only so many things one can do with a name like The Blue Can.  I may just insert an image with THE BLUE CAN [...]

The More You Watch, The Funnier It Is

I’m a movie whore. There are a few movies I can’t watch, but pretty much put any movie in front of me and I will watch it and enjoy it. Yes, this includes movies like The Cutting Edge and Bring It On.
This brings me to the topic of this post: Superbad.
Mind you, Superbad [...]
