After a long crappy movie-induced break from my normal moviegoing ways, I saw the new Pirates of the Caribbean flick and Clerks II over the weekend. Thumbs up to both. The biggest complaint I read about the Pirates sequel was that at 2.5 hours, it was just too long. Personally the whole movie flew by for me, and I hardly noticed that all of the blood had completely drained from my ass. Stick around through part of the credits to see a teaser trailer for the third movie, which will be released next summer. Then leave. There is a very brief scene at the very ass tip end of the credits, but it's not worth sticking around for at all.
Clerks II was hilarious. Kevin Smith makes up for Jersey Girl and then some. Patently offensive, yet insightful debates on religion, racism, and ass to mouth play abound. Throw in a random song and dance number and a bestiality--sorry, interspecies erotica--scene, and you've got me laughing just short of tears.
Between movie nights, I attended a coworker's wedding out in Minnestrista. They couldn't have asked for a better day to have an outdoor wedding. Well, I would have fared better at about 10 degrees cooler for temperature and dew point. But considering the nut-blistering heat and humidity we've had the last week or so, it was quite nice. And thanks to the groom for stocking the tubs with Leine's Creamy Dark. That hit the spot.
So there you have it. Donkey sex and dark beer. That's a full weekend.

I saw Pirates today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Also I went during the day, like noonish and payed super cheaply. Why? Because I'm saving my money to hire you to do something to my computer before I throw it out the window.
We did a Sunday matinee for Clerks II. Less braying high schoolers that way.
I've been known to give computer advice for free when asked nicely. I even built a computer for my brother out of the goodness of my heart (granted, a ridiculously obscure hardware incompatibility led me to do scores of hours of diagnostics, and it took me a month to get it to him). But I saved him a few $hundred and had a project to keep me out of trouble.
In fact, I'm working on starting a separate blog from this one that will be exclusively for me to geek out. Technology and consumer product reviews, computer advice (both me seeking and giving, hopefully).
Is it bad that I liked Jersey Girl??
Some girl, it's not bad. But I can tell you it's not good either. I didn't mind Jersey Girl, but it was so out of place in the Kevin Smith compendium.
