Another damn AFI top 100 list!

The AFI did yet another 100 film list, rather than type out their selections, I have decided to provide a link instead.
2007 AFI list of top 100 movies - USATODAY.com
I have mixed feelings about this list; I was over joyed to see that the Buster Keaton film The General was number 18 on the list, considering that it was overlooked on the 1998 list. Plus, I was ultra-happy to see that the grossly over-rated film The Graduate was no longer in the top 10 (thought it still remains in the top 20, which is way too high).
On the other hand, a lot of the films on the original list got dropped in favor of such fare like The Sixth Sense, The Shawshank Redemption, Titanic, Saving Private Ryan, etc. I can't believe classics like Patton, Stagecoach, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Third Man, From Here to Eternity, and The Manchurian Candidate were taken off the list in favor of these films. I was happy to see: A Place in the Sun, The Jazz Singer, Dances With Wolves, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, An American in Paris, and Rebel Without a Cause taken off the list, because frankly none of them have aged very well.
Hopefully if the AFI does another list in ten years they will have the decency to vote off Forrest Gump, Rocky, Sound of Music, Sophie's Choice, West Side Story, Saving Private Ryan, The Sixth Sense, The Graduate, and other undeserving fare.
And finally, why is Citizen Kane always number one? I like Citizen Kane, it's a great movie and definitely deserves to be ranked high on a top 100 list, but can't the members of the AFI just for once give the number one slot to a different film. Why not Encino Man? Or Teen Wolf? Anything other than Citizen Kane.

What the next Indiana Jones film should be about!

Now that Indiana Jones 4 has officially gone into production, I have decided to waste my time by presenting to you my treatment of the story. Yeah, I know it will never get made, but I really have nothing better to do, so with out further ado, here is my idea for the next Indiana Jones film:

An elderly Indiana Jones sits down at the kitchen table and is about to pour himself a delicious bowl of Wheaties. He grabs the box of Wheaties and is stunned to find that it is empty. NO WHEATIES! What ever shall he do? Without haste he grabs his car keys, jumps in the car, and heads to the local Grocery Store.
He parks in his car in the parking lot, gets out and slowly but surely walks towards the grocery store. He grabs a cart, just in case he needs more food items, and makes his way to the cereal aisle. He reaches finally reaches the aisle, when to his utter shock and amazement he sees an elderly Nazi grabbing the last box of Wheaties.
"STOP!" shouts Indy.
"Vhat?" says the Nazi.
"That's my box of Wheaties."
"No, it's mine!"
"Not any more."
Indy take out his whip, swings it over his head, and lassos it around the box of Wheaties. With all his might he pulls the box of Wheaties out of the evil Nazi's hand and takes off running.
"Come back here!" shouts the Nazi.
"No, you come back here!" says Indy, laughing at his nonsensical comment.
"You vill pay!" shouts the Nazi.
The Nazi spots a shopping cart and pushes it in Indy's direction. Indy turns around, sees the cart coming and increases his speed. It looks like he's home free, when he slips on the wet floor and falls on his back. The force of the impact causes the box of Wheaties to fly out his hand and into the arms of the Nazi. The shopping cart is about to run over Indy, he quickly rolls out of it's path.
"The VHEATIES ARE MINE DR. JONES!" says the Nazi in a triumphant voice. He's about to walk to the check out lane, when he spots free samples of cheese. He takes a sample from the tray, puts it in his mouth and is pleased. Just then he feels a tap on his shoulder, it is an extremely pissed off Indiana Jones. He punches the Nazi in the face, which sends the Nazi flying into a cart filled with tomatoes. Indiana takes the box of Wheaties from the comatose Nazi and heads to the check out lane. He has triumphed. So ends this installment of Indiana Jones.

Let's see Knocked Up

C'mon we got to see Knocked Up, it has been getting good word of mouth, therefore we MUST see it. It's got an 8.3 on IMDB. I don't want to be the odd man out. I just got to know what every one is laughing about. It can't possibly be bad; I mean it's from the guy who made The 40 Year-Old Virgin and that movie was pretty......good...it wasn't hysterically funny but it was........amusing. My friend Todd saw it and he said he loved it and you know how Todd is never wrong about anything. Can we please see it? If we go, I'll buy you a tray of pretzel bites. You know you love pretzel bites! It will be bad ass, even more bad ass than Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. What do you say? I'll even sit through Shrek 3 again if you promise to see Knocked Up with me. C'mon, I don't want to see it alone, I'll look like a freak.

I recently wasted a few minutes reading over the Paris Hilton message boards on IMDB and have come to two different conclusions:

1. Paris Hilton is a saint, who doesn't deserve the treatment she is getting.
2. Paris Hilton is a no talent whore, who didn't get nearly what she deserved.

Here is question: Why do people like Paris Hilton? I usually try to see the good in every thing; lord knows I tried to see the good in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, but that proved to be impossible, but Paris Hilton, there is absolutely nothing there. Her Pirates loving, MTV watching fans make it seem like Paris got a raw deal, when in actuality she is SOLELY responsible for all the misfortunes that has befallen her. She has no one to blame but herself, but her fans would rather believe that there is a conspiracy to bring down Paris Hilton, rather than accept the obvious.
Just think in a couple of years...hell maybe even months...there is going to be a crappy made for TV Paris Hilton movie about her irresponsible way of living, her downfall, her time in prison, and her redemption. The final scene would see a teary eyed Paris vowing to do good in the world, followed by a freeze frame of her high fiving Zack Morris after having saved the animals from the evil oil corporation. Mark my word this will happen.
In fact, why am I writing about this, when I could be selling this idea to a studio. GENIUS!
