on the road and in the air

December 11th, 2007 by RM · No Comments ·

I’m heading out shortly to catch a flight to Chicago (another job interview), but there are a few bits and pieces I wanted to touch on before I hit the road, then the air, then the Windy City sidewalk.

1. Tim Tebow = 2007 Heisman Trophy Winner
No candidate has ever deserved the award more…. with the exception of Danny Wuerffel, of course.

2. Go see The Mist… Do it.
I feel so strongly about this that I wrote up a review on Blockbuster.com/Facebook:

“The Mist” was excellent in all of the same ways that made John Carpenter’s “The Thing” a horror classic. The creatures are terrifying, sure - but the changes the creatures bring about in the cast are even more frightening. Stephen King should be proud of this adaptation of his work. Every member of the cast does an excellent job with their roles, and despite the expectation that the ending would be “mainstreamed” and softened for movie audiences, the finale is possibly one of the bleakest endings to a film since “Requiem For A Dream.” (I had to take a long walk and a cigarette after “Requiem” but “The Mist” kept me silent the entire ride home from the theater.)

3. Assassin’s Creed and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune almost make the Playstation 3 pricetag worthwhile
These are two of the best games I’ve played in a VERY long time.

4. Apparently, I’m still the Editor of WizardUniverse.com
I guess that’s what happens when you lay off the only person who knows how to change anything on the site, eh? Thanks to everyone who brought this to my attention.
