A couple of random thoughts as we enter the New Year.
Boy, is the new Rambo getting some huge hype. Commercials all over TV. Drop down ads on the internet. You would think this would be the first action blockbuster of 2008. Now I missed the whole Rambo brouhaha the first time around so this splash of nostalgia is not connecting with me, but I gotta think that after the steroids and the special effects, is there any money for a script? You would think Stallone and Norris would pool their resources and do a MIA vs. Rambo super retro action epic.
During the Emerald Bowl (don’t even remember where the game was or who was in it) they played these wacked out ads. I think the premise was about the peanuts making you smarter with all natural ingredients or something, but I couldn’t tell if the normal people were supposed to be getting smarter or the weird inserted people (Swiss Family Robinson and the chics from Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love). Whatever.
Here’s a little holiday recap.
Food poisoning, truly, truly horrible. Great gifts. Polaris. What is Polaris, you ask? It is a merchandising city of every possible service and product. Imagine your mall. Now imagine your mall, my mall and your best friend’s mall all in one location. Then you might be close. College football, and lots of it. I was tired of it by the end. Family. We did three Christmas celebrations. Whoa.
Currently listening to:
Taj Mahal
