Men Who Stare At Goats

The title of the movie is so weird that it initially made me skip over the news stories about it. But, now that I've seen the trailer, I really want to see this movie! What makes it even more interesting is that it's supposedly based on a true story. Just think about that; it's so weird!

What do you guys think of the trailer? Interested in seeing the movie?

(F)unemployment

Most of my fellow class of '09ers are still job searching. This one's for you guys. And anyone else who is suffering from the highest unemployment rate in 26 years. Here's some scary numbers, but also show just how everyone is really in the same boat:

As of June, just 19.7% of 2009 college graduates have a job.
This figure is still standing strong at the end of August - only 1/5 of all grads have even had a job offer.
Overall jobless rate is 9.4% - this is even higher in LA, which is at the shockingly high 20%.

Well, unemployment doesn't have to be all bad! There's lots you can do to turn your unemployment into FUNemployment. Here are some great websites with ideas of stuff to do in LA while you're unemployed:

LA DeCOSTified: A website with a bunch of free events, give aways, and suggestions of stuff to do around the city that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.

Free Fun Guides: Guides for multiple cities with free events and give aways.

LA Fun-employment: Same story here - one page of many cities, featuring free events, bargains, and give aways.

And my friend Brian has created a blog all about his funemployment learnings: Leisure King.

Hopefully this helps pass the time between the job hunting emails, phone calls, and research. Good luck job hunting! But when you need some good, cheap fun check out the sites and let me know what you think!

Not The Blob!

Rob Zombie has set his sights on The Blob - a B-movie classic! Now, if I could make any movie, it would be a sequel to the original Blob (1958). I love the original so much and haven't really felt that for any of the sequels or remakes that have come since. Now, Rob Zombie wants to try his hand at it. But, get this, he doesn't want there to be an actual blob! How do you have The Blob without a blobby alien creature?!

For more on the project, check out the article on Zap2it.

Do you think there's any chance of this being good? Have you seen The Blob?
