just got back from vacation in Puerto Vallarta – enjoyed watching these crazy ‘zanates’ (otherwise known as a grackle) zip around and make weird noises all day – Zanate!

if we can’t keep drones out of the skies with laws and or bottle rockets – hawks may have to step up – as we say in Seattle – Go Hawks! 🙂

Hawk attacks a drone mid-air bringing it down to the ground

Homestar Runner’s Strong Bad returns in new music video ‘Fish Eye Lens’

One of my favorite pop-culture things to read are smarmy reviews of media (movies, music, etc.). In reading something this am, i came across Nic Cage’s latest attempt to pay his taxes and rise above the <50% success rate he's had the past several years as to movies. About the only one I can think of that was any good (or interested me at ALL) was Kick-Ass. Everything else looked really stupid, uninteresting or got really bad reviews. His last good movies before that were almost 7 years earlier with Matchstick Men and Adaptation, although Ghost Rider was a guilty pleasure. 🙂

Which brings us to the latest, Left Behind. It was bad enough they did a Kirk Cameron version of this in the first place, but Nic – what were you thinking? I’m pretty sure the only thing worth reading here are the reviews – this is the downside of being Roger Ebert – watching a lot of bad movies.

Read several of the snipes yourself here – too funny. One only wishes that Damien came back to whack Nic upside the head for good, but he’s had his own movie challenges along the way….

I’ll leave you with one of the classics of smarmy reviews – the ‘discussion’ from Spinal Tap about their records (video quality not optimal but it’s the audio that matters anyway)…

I’m of the opinion MOST dogs do this almost daily… 🙂
