Shaky cameras = brilliant cinema!

I just saw Cloverfield and it was BRILLIANT! I mean it had lots of shaky camera movement and people screaming for an hour and a half, I mean it was really intense bro! I nearly spilled hot nachos cheese on my pants because I was so rattled up while watching this flick. Not since Peter Jackson's King Kong (which I heard was a remake of something) have I been so moved by a movie. I give five Fs for Frighteningly Fabulous Fun Fuckin' Film. It wasn't as intense as Fight Club, but what is?

One last football post before I get back to being random:

Even though the Giants beat the Packers, I hope they go into Arizona and pull the greatest upset of all time by beating the Patriots. All season long we've had to hear about how the Patriots are the "GREATEST FOOTBALL TEAM OF ALL TIME!" Meanwhile, we've had to witness countless analysts, pundits, and sports writers masturbate to footage of Tom Brady throwing touchdown passes, "Is there a greater quarterback than Tom Brady? He's so pretty! If he asked me for a blow job, I would give it to him." And when they weren't talking about how beautiful Tom Brady was, they were writing about how Randy Moss had become a model citizen, before he was slapped with a restraining order. That's why it would be great if the Giants do the unthinkable and beat the Patriots, because their "perfect" season would be just another footnote in sport's history, kind of like the 1998 Vikings.
Why did it have to end like this?

I can tolerate the fact that the Packers lost to the Giants, what I can't tolerate is the fact that Brett Favre threw the game losing interception. It's pretty sad that when people think of the 2007 season, they won't think of the records Favre broke, but rather that costly interception in over time. It brings back memories of the Divisional round in Philadelphia in which Favre threw the game losing interception in over time as well.
All in all, I'm not disappointed in the season the Packers had, they completely exceeded my expectations, I thought at best they would lose in the wild card round of the play offs, I just wish it wouldn't have ended on such an ugly note. Oh well!
The Giants completely outplayed the Packers at Lambeau, that's all there is to it. The Packers didn't give the game away, but the Giants nearly did. It should have never gone into over time in the first place, but the Giants kicker missed a field goal. I wish he would have made the field goal in regulation, just so Favre wouldn't have thrown that interception, but that's the way the ball bounces.
I'm also not stupid enough to say, "We'll be back next season," because it's hard to get to NFC Championship game in two consecutive years. Who knows?

My last couple of posts have been football related, therefore I thought I would talk about something completely different....unfortunately I have nothing much to say. In fact, the only thing on my mind is the Packers vs. the Giants game. No.....no.....I must keep my mind off football.
I CAN'T DO IT!

Possibly the most annoying thing this season is how local news outlets make puns out of Brett Favre's last name. For instance, after the Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs, one show had a headline which read, "Favre from finished!" The sad thing is that some one actually got paid to write this god awful sentence. It's not nearly as enjoyable as the puns media outlets used to describe the Chicago Bears last season after they played a couple of crappy games, the two best being "EM-BEAR-ASSING" and "UN-BEAR-ABLE." Then again, I hate the Chicago Bears, therefore any time they receive any sort of criticism I am over filled with joy. I'm sure most Bears fans probably groaned when they read these headlines. Good for them!

In completely unrelated news, my beard is growing progressively longer. I have not shaved in about five months and I very close to realizing my life long dream of growing a nice, long Karl Marx beard. That would be so awesome! Then I can turn into a socialist and spew all sorts of anti-authoritarian garbage, while local college students look on in awe at my down to earth intellect...or something like that. Then after, I'm done talking about the evils of capitalism, I will eat go to the local Burger King and get a nice, delicious Whopper. ENDE!

Eli Manning is my hero (up until next Sunday any ways).

This may be the best weekend of all time, not only did the Packers slaughter the Seahawks, but the Giants beat the Cowboys. Tony Romo once again choked in the clutch, this time instead of fumbling a snap, he threw an interception in the end zone. Thank you Eli Manning! All season long analysts have been criticizing Eli Manning for his quarterback play, while crowning Tony Romo as the second coming of Jesus. After the Cowboys lucky win against the Detroit Lions, sportswriters and analysts started calling Romo a "Legend" and every time he completed a pass they would say stupid things like, "That's vintage Tony Romo!" Vintage Tony Romo? The guy hasn't even played two full seasons and he's already a legend. All I know is that Tony Romo is 0 - 2 in the post season, while Eli Manning is 2 -2. I'm so happy we no longer have to hear about how delightful Tony Romo is!

It was great to see the Green Bay Packers slaughter the Seattle Seahawks. The best part of the game was the constant close ups of Mike Holmgren's face turning red and shouting profanities at the refs. I'm surprised he hasn't blamed the refs for the losing the game for his team.

Shannon Sharpe is an IDIOT!

Why is that practically every NFL analyst is anti-Packers? Yesterday on the CBS pre-game show Shannon Sharpe predicted the Seattle Seahawks to beat the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau field, because in his opinion Seattle has more "play off experience." Hey Shannon here's a little tidbit for you, the Seahawks have yet to win a play off game on the road, under Mike Holmgren they are 0-3 on the road in the post-season. When Holmgren was with the Green Bay Packers he was an average road coach at best. It's a Holmgren tendency that haunts not only teams he's coached, but teams coached by his former assistant coaches as well: Andy Reid and the Eagles; Jon Gruden and the Buccaneers; and Dick Jauron and the Bills.
As a Packers fan, I have to say that I am not that worried about the Seahawks, because their quarterback Matt Hasselbeck (or as I call him Matt Baldyhead) always makes a mistake at the most inopportune moment. Hasselbeck is a cocky mother fucker, to the extent that he thinks he is incapable of making a bad throw, then as expected he makes a bad throw that gets intercepted and run back for a touchdown. I predict that Hasselbeck will have at least two interceptions against the Packers on Saturday, then Holmgren's face will turn all red and he'll start throwing a tantrum, finding a way to blame his team's pathetic performance on the refs.

PS: I really, really hate Seahawks fans, because they are all huge phonies. They are the true definition of fair weathered fans. When the Seahawks are winning they are shouting stupid phrases like, "SEAHAWKS RAWK,"when the Seahawks are losing they don't even bat an eye, they just go to the nearest Starbucks and order an over priced Latte. They don't deserve a Super Bowl win.
