you be like, "so? ilovemybabymama. ineverlethergo."

been noticing a new trend with celebrities commercials. that's not so much a new thing, i mean, celebs and advertising go together like ice cream and cake but it's the low level of pretentiousness that's coming with these commercials that i think is new. who doesn't dig those Mac commercials with Justin Long? Michael Jordan, Kevin Bacon, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Joe Montana, Brett Favre all doing undies and jeans commercials and they just act like *who they are*. i like that there's no public persona in those commercials. it's just them. i like the voice over work a lot of really big name actors are doing. Julia Roberts for AOL. Queen Latifah for Pizza Hut. Matt Dillon for Pontiac. Gary Sinise for Cadillac. Christian Slater does commercials and narrates tv shows for Discovery and History channels. Gene Hackman for Lowe's. Keifer Sutherland for Verizon. Julianna Margolis for Pampers. etc. etc. i like that you don't see them and for a lot of those actors, you wouldn't even know it was them unless you were an uber movie freak like me. VO work isn't new to advertising either, but like i said, these stars aren't making a big deal out of it, they aren't The Voice Of... anything. and i dig that.

i watched House of 9 last night on Showtime Beyond, which is my new favorite channel because the flicks they show are odd, indie, and cool. it was a pretty good movie. not a great freaking OMG GO WATCH THAT movie like...uh... some movie i can't think of right now because i'm too busy laughing at the comments thread on IMDB about Nekromantik. but a good movie with pretty damn cool twist ending that i didn't see coming until *right* before it happened. Dennis Hopper's accent was horrible though. *punts him*

my home computer went into a coma this morning. it's vitals are stabilized but the outlook is pretty grim. last week, we agreed to have a 250gb external hard drive put in but it hasn't helped it's ailing health much. poor ol' Compy.

there's something wrong with me for thinking these are hysterically funny.
