What Have You Learned Today ?

[Oh hi Mark!]

I went on Netflix to search if the movie "Lifeforce" is on it, since I referenced that in a conversation earlier today. It isn't, but while Netflix was still open, I wondered if there were any Cynthia Rothrock movies on there. Nope. They list results anyways, I think related to the search subject. On her full name, it only listed action movies, martial arts stuff, which was neat. On just "Cynthia" a little more results added to the action/martial arts stuff came up. I didn't know Netflix had that kind of search engine. It's based on relevance, as most search engines' default settings are, but still.


I saw Ninja: Shadow of a Tear as a result, and while I've heard of the film and how it starred Scott Adkins, what I didn't know was who the director was. Isaac Florentine, who directed a bunch of episodes from Power Rangers up until Time Force (2001). Trivia fact of the day.


I also learned it's possible to have a dream within a dream. Waking up from a dream, but you're still in a dream, and having to wake up again to be back in reality. It was a horrible second level dream. I can't articulate what it was, so I'll list what I remember: ice path from behind my home, mall store employee targeted by a gun-yielding killer, mall store employee retaliates with a machine gun. Wendy's, my birthday was that night, so I tried to get a free dessert product. There was a lot of trouble and yelling, arguments and maybe violence during that night. As it was the morning, my dessert was melted, so I think it was ice cream. There were a flight of stone stairs, with a railing in the middle. The whole stairs were underneath this giant plastic dome. I hopped over the railing to the other side, federal officers come for me. I cried and screamed, all this happened after Wendy's and mall shootings, so I woke up, screaming and crying, on a huge white bed, no walls or windows, on a high platform, top of a structure. Then I woke up for real, confused and my heart was beating fast.


I didn't eat bad cheese. Unless you count cheese balls.

Meth makes you lose weight. A Mighty Ducks actor got arrested for public intoxication this past weekend and his mugshot is sad.






Shaun Weiss is his name, a year ago he apparently got busted for possession of meth. That must explain the weight loss because in that movie from 1996, he was chubby. If not causing weight loss, advanced aging, holy crap, he looks like he's in his 50s.


Today's the 10th anniversary of Pineapple Express' premiere, and Seth Rogen tweeted a bunch of facts on his Twitter today to celebrate. I'll name the most interesting ones. The title itself came from a non-technical term for some kind of storm that happens in the Hawaii Islands as well as the Pacific Northwest, where Rogen's from. I actually thought it was a nickname for a type of weed, like "Snicklefritz," the weak product James Franco's Sal gives to some goobers. That name itself comes from a name the practical FX supervisor on that movie. It's who he called his second-in-command.


Red (Danny McBride) was supposed to die when he was first shot, but he was so funny that he earned himself multiple lives basically. When he ran over Matheson with a car, it was originally a Ford Fiesta but Ford didn't want a car of theirs to be involved in a death, so they switched it to a Daewoo Lanos, which made for a classic line from Red. McBride was actually duct taped to the chair, and had to stay there until they finished the scene, there were no breaks for him in terms of removing the tape and then re-applying it.


Sal was wearing a headband at one point, which came from when Franco hit his head on a tree. It was actually a screw holding a pad in place and he had to get stitches. I never spotted this, but there's apparently a picture of Red's wife, who he referred to a few times. The picture showed that his wife was played by Stormy Daniels, Donald Trump's not amused.


Actually all the facts are most interesting, so I'll stop myself now. I love that movie, so any trivia from it grabs my attention. Okay one more. Originally Franco and Rogen had each others parts, the former was written to play Dale, Rogen was to play Sal. Franco requested a change, Rogen didn't care that much, so they switched, and for the best.

That (Needed two days to double confirm) it`s true. My genius cry baby shoes neighbour sodded across to Belgium without bothering to turn his early morning alarm off . Also that if not switched off manually it`s an alarm that keeps chiming incrementally ever more loudly until the hour has passed.

Does anyone think if I finely chopped a bag of onions , mixed them in with a pound of finest raw prawns . Then forced it all through his bastard letterbox

I`d ever be suspected


Although you didn't read this from me

Maybe it is a voice Activated Alarm, In Which Case, You Could Have Shouted Through The Letterbox, In Either, Flemish, French or English..

Only two of this family of four can speak English, It ain't the two in the middle.

[Oh hi Mark!]

This woman is the co-founder and CEO of the premiere porn clips store, ManyVids.


Bella French, I'm surprised by that. I go there regularly and something posted today on their blog involved her putting out a video and a written statement. In the written statement, she mentioned how she and some other guys refused to sell ManyVids. Doing some digging around, finding a Yahoo Finance (Canada) article that states her official position in the company. My only previous knowledge was that she cammed, and I was lurking in a forum that hyped up her content coming from Score. That was it, turns around that around that time or a bit before it, she along with other people started MV.


I also learned from Judd Apatow, who produced Pineapple Express, that Bryan Cranston auditioned for a drug dealer role. Didn't say if it was Sal or Gary Cole's drug kingpin character, but he was basically turned down because it was thought that he didn't look like a drug dealer. Had he got the part, Apatow said that maybe he would not have got Walter White because the people behind Breaking Bad would've spotted that he did Pineapple Express and turn him down thinking he's typecast as a drug dealer. There's just so much intrigue in that trivia note.


August 12 marks the 30 year anniversary of Mac and Me, a movie I never thought about watching, until last week when I saw James Rolfe and company laugh about the film and give the impression that it's a "so good it's bad" movie, which is up my alley on paper. Maybe I'll watch it.

I learned that original mouseketeer Doreen Tracy had died. So depressed. I can't jack off to a woman once she's dead.
