Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Hat tip again to Quotalatiousness, via Gerard once again.
I’m thinking I need to go update this just one more time.

I don’t get it. Explain please.
Sorry for being absent Morgan. I’ve been reading, as always, but I’m taking a break from the politics at large for the moment. Either that or my head will explode.
I still think you’re smoking hot.

Instead of specific lines spoken, specific names, or other details….in each scene there’s a generic description of what would be happening here. It kind of skewers all these cheesy plot devices that we’ve become so accustomed to seeing that we don’t even notice them.
Like when the guy notices the girl in the parking lot and says, “Rejection of social norms by dyeing your hair.” She says, “My name.” He says, “MY name.” HAHAHA! Comedy gold right there. It was like they’re inviting you, the viewer, to fill-in-the-blank for each scene. The dramatic orchestral music just made it even funnier.
Like when the guy slams another guy into the lockers and shouts, “Overreaction!” That part was a slap at all those sports-themed movies about some inspirational coach. (Loved that part, actually…those kinds of movies always seem to have the same freakin’ plot over and over.)
Oh man, I roared at that. I’m going to forward it to about a dozen people.
“See, the movie isn’t ALL dramatic. We laugh, too.”
