Keeping My Comments To Myself
STUPID, STUPID STUPID BLOGGER won't let me leave comments today! I'm writing this on Word, as I always do, with the intentions of posting it at my blog, but I very well might be wasting my time because STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID BLOGGER, as likely as not, won't let me post it!!
Ahem.
Anyway, I made my usual blog rounds today and wanted to leave a few comments, but Blogger was, as always, acting screwy… so it wouldn't let me leave my comments. There were a couple of comments that it did let me leave, maybe… and I'm pretty sure that the comment I posted at Lorna's blog actually DID post. The rest of 'em, who knows?
So since I can't post 'em there, I'll try to post 'em here.
These are the comments I wanted to leave for some of my fellow bloggers.
- The Burr On The Move
Pastor Scott at The Burr In the Burgh and his family are in the unpacking stage of having moved from the Pittsburgh area to Fort Wayne (The Burr In The Fort?) Anyway, Pastor Scott wrote, among other things, that:Jacob is sweating bullets because we have not yet located his Playstation games. Unless you have an 11 year old boy in your house, you do not realize the gravity of this problem.
To which I tried to respond as follows:
I have a nine-and-a-half year old, and I fully realize the gravity of not being able to locate video games. Not because of the conduct of my son, but because of the way I'd go all to pieces if Halo and Splinter Cell were temporarily misplaced.
And I would, too. I'd tear this place apart like Sam Fisher looking for Suhadi Sadono. - Plan B Abortion Pill
Dymphna has the Plan B pill on her mind today. I was going to leave her a comment to make sure she saw this post at the American Papist. Paul, the Regular Guy was thinking about the topic, too… and he wrote thatThe Bush administration doesn't get it. Despite its claims of being pro-life, despite Democrat threats that electing or re-electing Bush would imperil "the right of a woman to choose", despite the President's one veto of federal funding for ESCR (not to stop any ECSR, just federal funding of it), the Administration -- and the GOP -- doesn't understand what's at stake for us pro-lifers….
Next time, I swear, we must elect a real conservative. Not a another dynastic, "my turn", "electable" compromise nominee. A real honest-to-God conservative who cares about our issues because they're his issues.
I share Paul's frustrations. I still think that Dubya was the better choice in 2004, but he's really compromised his base in many ways and I believe we're going to pay for that in 2008. Heck, we might pay for that this November, too, if too few conservatives are energized enough to vote. I was going to tell Paul that
I feel what you're saying, too. Bush has been weak in many areas that are critical to conservatives. I'm still not over the Port Authority issue, for one. I think Dubya's attempts to handle immigration have been a please-everybody plan that's pleased nobody in the long run. He's done far too little to keep the country informed and abreast of the situation in Iraq, and he's spent money like a Democrat at a Las Vegas Prostitute Convention. I really hope we don't end up in such a mess that we have to go through another national liberal learning experience before we get back on track. - Mysterious Cloaked Dragons, Planets, Etc
MCF wrote about a number of things today, including the demotion of Pluto from Planet to Dwarf Planet. That left me wondering if there were Elf Planets and Nymph Planets. Then, after discussing ducks and the cost of televisions, the Cloaked One filled us in on the Eragon movie:
For those of you who don't know, Eragon was a novel, the start of a trilogy, written by a Christopher Paolini when he was a teenager.
He also posted a link to the movie poster, which is how I came to realize that Jeremy Irons and John Malcovich were in the film. That got me interested in the rest of the cast, and, as I'd have told MCF:
This movie looks like it might be fun. I was checking out the cast and saw that the lead actor is, apparently, an unknown. The lead actress, Sienna Guillory, looked familiar, but when I looked her up at the IMDb I realized that I've not seen her in anything. I thought that one of her films, In The Bathroom, might have been a logical sequel to this film, but nothin' doin'. - Hot Fuzz
The 35 weeks pregnant Kelly filled us in on Hot Fuzz, the latest film from the makers of Shaun Of The Dead. It looks good, and I'd have told Kelly as much, if STUPID STUPID STUPID BLOGGER had allowed me to post a comment.
In the comments section of that post I saw that MCF and Kelly had chatted a bit about Beerfest, a new comedy I'd had no interest in until I found out that it is a parody of Jean-Claude Van Damme films. If you ask me, that guy's movies are all pretty Van Damme stupid, so a parody of his stuff might make me laugh. Plus, I read somewhere that the movie is like Fight Club for beer drinkers, which also strikes me as a funny premise. The movie is getting middling advance reviews, but who knows. - One Last Thing
This bit isn't a comment for someone else, it's just something I stumbled across. I bet you a zillion million dollars that you can't guess who this guy is without clicking this link and reading the news story:
So now that I know that Blogger won't let me post comments today, I'm off to see if it'll let me post blog entries? Who knows? See ya, maybe, on the other side.

How sad and geeky of me---I actually recognized Joey Lawrence. Keep your million, I'm too embarrassed.
I share your frustration over Plan B and Bush in general. His immigration reeks of his "cheap labor" priority.
Hahaha ... Joey Lawrence! I was going the Billy Zane route except without the makeup-ed eyes.
I did not know all those things about Beerfest. Your info makes me actually want to see it. Eh, might as well go see as many movies as I can at the theater now, because we'll not have the luxury of just picking up and going again for a long time.

Whoa. I would have guess Billy Zane. Kind of weird that he shakes the 80s pretty boy image to look like a Vin Diesel type, and then makes his return on a DANCING reality show. No action transition for him there. He should have gone on Who Wants to Be a Superhero--actually, a celebrity version of that show might be pretty cool, since most of the stars of the first one were aspiring actors to begin with.
I haven't had any commenting problems, or posting lately though I have run into that in the past before they updated whichever server I'm on. Here I thought no one was commenting because my stuff sucked. ;-)
Super Troopers looked dumb until people raved about it and I saw it. It's the Police Academy of this decade. The follow-up, Club Dread, a spoof of slasher movies wasn't as well received by people, but I personally appreciated it. This Broken Lizard comedy troop has some funny ideas and talented writers and actors, kind of like Kids in the Hall.
And Van Damme was the bomb in Timecop. If we're going to bash an action star, we should bash Stephen Seagal. Anyway, those guys don't matter anymore now that we have Jason Statham. Crank's going to be awesome.
UPDATE: It took me several tries to post this...don't even know if this will go through. First it contained no data, then the word verification wouldn't appear. You must be on a server with issues...I've been able to comment on other blogs...

Thanks for the post, Darrell. I saw the Right Wing Film Geek's post via Amy Welborn. I agree with the former's statement, "If you're not far-sighted enough to avoid an unwanted pregnancy (there are two known methods — one infallible; the other immoral but still mostly effective) ... are you fit to be self-medicating?"
He says that within 10 years, Barr, the maker of Plan B, will be bankrupt, and have sold Plan B to someone like Planned Parenthood. Perhaps that's PP's goal.
