Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye
September 20, 2010 | Jitterbug 2I remember my life a long time ago when I was a young pup. That is assuming “a long time ago” means “8 years ago”, but who’s really keeping track here? I’m not. The point is, I was a kid and I used to love my toys. My favorites were always Transformers. Read More

Miller-Coors Fakes Being Craft Brewed
August 16, 2010 | Jitterbug 2
Two bad tastes that taste bad together
There aren’t many companies in the big leagues of the beer game in the United States. Truth be told, after the recent mergers there are only two major players in the game today: Anheuser-Busch InBev and Miller Coors. Those two companies make up more then 80% of the beer sold in the USA. You might think that’s enough for them, but they wouldn’t agree. They want a piece of the Craft Brewer’s pie too!
The cold hard truth is that Americans are starting to pay attention to their taste buds, and they’re throwing their “Buds” in the trash. The first half of this year, the big beer business was down 2.7% in sales while the independent market grew by 9%. There is no way the mighty corporations would stand for this. You might expect them to begin a smear campaign against independent breweries (like claiming the quality standards are bad) or running ads depicting people frowning as they drink “bitter” beers, but they haven’t gone down that road – yet. Instead, they are doing something a bit more devious. They’re pretending to be independent.
Movie Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Epic Movie Poster!
Before you read any further, I feel you need to know that I waited for half an hour to get into a midnight showing of this movie. I’m a fan of the Scott Pilgrim comics and will be getting the video-game as soon as it releases on the Xbox Marketplace. That said, I’ll try to be as unbiased and straight with you as I can in this review………………………………….
Movie Review: The Other Guys

I wonder what conditioner they use? Their hair is so perfect.
If you appreciate comedy at all, you’ve already heard about this movie. If your religious beliefs forbid you from laughing, let me fill you in. Mark Walberg and Will Farrell star as two cops whose careers are not where they were hoping they would be. Constantly subjected to the ridicule of the other detectives, including the balls-to-the-wall hot shots played by Dewayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson, they’re just trying to get by. The previews show a straight-shooting Mark Walberg trying to deal with a less-than-normal Will Farrell and hilarity ensues. Question is, is it worth your time?
Ok, first of all I’ve got to get this out of the way. This entire movie is less-than-normal. Everyone is a satire on what they’re supposed to be, and the few characters that are supposed to be straight-laced come off looking like they’re in the wrong film. That being said, it’s a great “buddy cop” movie. The dialogue is very funny and I found myself laughing the hardest whenever Mark and Will were fighting. There is an exceptional argument concerning Lions and Tuna that almost made me leak a lttle of the cherry-coke I had been enjoying.

Editorial: If it’s broken… FIX IT!

BANZAI!!!!
Okay guys, it’s time for me to have a rant. In order to get this rant going, I have a question to ask…
Does anyone actually take soccer seriously anymore?
Not even counting the quality of the refereeing decisions, which varies from game to game with no rhyme or reason, the amount of acting that can be found in this game, from taking dives to supposed hits to the head, is appalling! In no other sport that I know of would this level of cheating ever be accepted. But for some reason, soccer seems to embrace it! It’s gotten to the point now that people are saying that it is actually part of the sport, and it makes it so much more exciting.
No, I’m sorry, it doesn’t make it more exciting, it does, however, make it pathetic to watch.
