The Incredibles – $70.7 million!

Top Box Office

WOW what a great opening weekend! The movie was AWESOME! I actually have seen it TWICE already! I highly recommend the Sony / Lowes Theater in New Brunswick!

When a movie comes along I really want to see, I generally do not read much about it, read reviews or really explore much about it. Going in and seeing the movie, I was very surprised about it. I did hear it was a longer movie, coming in at 1 hr 45 mins and the movie was longer than most animated films. It also to me didn’t seem too “kiddie” and was very sophisticated. Also, humorous at times wasn’t as much a comedy as was an adventure movie. I loved the story line and the details and scenery of the film.

I will not give any spoilers, but it is up there with all my favorite Pixar movies! The computer animation was amazing. This is the first time Pixar has had humans as the main characters and not toys, monsters, bugs or fish 🙂 Although they were artistic looking, the detail was amazing! I thought seeing it in the movies, Mr. Incredible looked a lot like a juiced Jay Moore.

The hair on the characters came out amazing. In the past, humans were a huge problem including hair and fabric on costumes. In The Incredibles, they really got it down. On the website, the making of the movie showed how they overcame all the obstacles of these human characters. I really enjoyed the voices of the characters and think they did a great job as usual. OK I am going to watch some more Pixar movies! 🙂

I am also playing The Incredibles game for PS2 still and it ROCKS! I recommend that too!

What A Day For Movies!



Actually, what an INCREDIBLE DAY for movies! So much to talk about today in the world of movies! I am going to the 3:30 showing of The Incredibles! I can’t wait to go see it! Pixar is by far my favorite company! I am really gonna miss the pairing of Disney and Pixar 🙁 I have The Incredibles game for PS2 and It is amazing, so its getting me ready for the movie! As this one kicks off, the next Pixar movie “Cars” debuted a preview on Apple.com Cars That movie looks AWESOME TOO! too funny how they know this movie is gonna be so huge, they took the day to show off their next project!

Speaking of taking the day WHAT THE HELL! Dreamworks released Shrek 2 today on a Friday! Usually movies come out on Tuesday, but I guess they want to capitalize on this huge release day! Also the Episode III Teaser Trailer hit AOL’s Movie phone today! IT LOOKS AMAZING! WHAT A DAY FOR MOVIES! Ok I’ll calm down hehe Moviefone: Home Page

Last and I am sure there are others, Fox is saying in their ad Wanna See Something Incredible? For their new Robin Williams animated movie called “Robots” 20th Century Fox: Robots I have seen the early trailer and that looks great too!

Ok 3:30 – Incredibles – Full Review – Next Blog! SAVE THE DAY!

The Incredibles

Election Day 2004

CNN.com Election 2004

It’s finally here! No I am not gonna be the 542nd person today alone to remind you to vote! Although I think I just did 🙂 I went out early for me around 11 and voted! I can’t believe this mass media hype again around this years election! I am just relieved that it is finally here and it will be over tonight, hopefully! It amazes me that’s some states still use punch cards, are still messed up (Florida) and that booths were sent to places like Pennsylvania with hundreds of votes already registered on them! So who knows, maybe we will see another mess tonight! I will be at Jacks Rib And Ale House hehe in Long Branch! RobFuz.com Campaign headquarters! (kidding).

Making Free IPods Pay Off – Wired.com

By Leander Kahney | 02:00 AM Aug. 18, 2004 PT

Unless you’re extremely gullible, the promise of getting a free iPod from FreeiPods.com looks extremely dubious.

But surprisingly, the site appears to be legitimate. The program almost certainly isn’t a dodgy pyramid scheme; it’s a new form of online marketing supported by companies like eBay, AOL and Columbia House.

Here’s how it works: FreeiPods.com promises an iPod or a $250 gift certificate to anyone who signs up for various online promotions and persuades five other people to participate.

Subscribers are given a choice of 10 different offers, including a 45-day trial of AOL and a two-week trial of Ancestry.com’s genealogy service. Typically, the offers are free and easily canceled.

Once the trials are over — for both the main subscriber and the referrals — the free iPod is dispatched.

Again please do me a solid and sign up off my link

From Alex’s Site From The Screen Savers:

Alex Albrecht: “FREE IPOD’s Works!!!

Well it’s official… I got my free ipod in the mail!!! Actually both my girlfriend and I got them in the mail! Freeipods.com really works…

It did take close to two months but hey free freaking iPods!!! This is great.

After Sarah did some great iPod software segments on the show I was starting to get jealous. Now I’m Podcasting and using iPod Agent with the rest of the enlightened world…

Thanks and good luck getting 5 people!

Baseball Dominates Ratings – World Series 04

Baseball Leads Fox to Dominate Ratings

AWESOME NEWS! – Baseball has been awesome lately! Between Boston and The Yanks and The Astros / Cardinals, baseball has really been HOT! I was wondering how the ratings are doing and how the Red Sox have effected baseball! As many of you know, I look at baseball a lot of times as the business of baseball! I felt all along that no offence to my Yankee fan friends, the Tanks loosening is GREAT for baseball, because it is not as predictable! I am also hoping the Red Soxs win so we don’t have to hear about the “Curse” anymore! hehe Anyway I am really looking forward to game 3 tonight! Rooting for what Jos and I call “SAMPSON” Johnny Damon to kick ass some more! Jos is off in St Louis with a great view of the arch from her hotel room. She is defiantly in foul ball territory so we will be looking for her tonight!

Baseball Leads Fox to Dominate Ratings – Oct 26

NEW YORK (AP) – Baseball has been very, very good to Fox.

Classic seven-game league championship series and the start of a World Series involving two storied franchises led Fox to its best week in prime-time ratings in 2 1/2 years, Nielsen Media Research said Tuesday.

The climactic game of the Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees American League series drew 31.5 million television viewers, the most-watched baseball game since Game 7 of the 2001 World Series.

The thrilling sixth game of the ALCS, the third of four straight do-or-die games won by the Red Sox, had 25.1 million viewers, Nielsen said.

The World Series between the Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals also started strong. Saturday’s first game was the most-watched World Series opening game since 1996.

I GOT A NEW LAPTOP!!!!! WOO HOOOO! ;)

SonyStyle.com | VGN-T170P/L

WOW! I finally took the plunge and got my new LAPTOP! I really wanted something that is small and has a killer battery! I think I got it with this brand spanking new Ultra Portable machine! I was excited to see that Sony JUST released it! I was on the fence over the IBM Ultra Portable laptop or this, but this won out! Up to an 8 Hour battery and 1 gig of RAM, DVD Burner and a great price compared to the old model, this one was the one to get! Grant it, it is a STEEP price, but my last notebook held up since 1998 and I loved it dearly!

I will give a full review when I get it!

Howard Stern to Broadcast on Sirius Radio in 2006

Howard Stern to Broadcast on Sirius Radio in 2006

Howard Stern to Broadcast on Sirius Radio in 2006 – Oct 6, 9:51 am ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Howard Stern, one of the most popular U.S. radio personalities, on Wednesday said he will broadcast his show on Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. beginning in 2006, after being dropped earlier this year from several stations that objected to his often off-color humor.

By luring Stern away from his current employer, Viacom Inc.’s Infinity Broadcasting, the deal gives a shot in the arm to satellite radio overall, a new business built on attracting subscribers to dozens of radio stations broadcast digitally.

It also gives Sirius, whose shares rose about 17 percent in early trading, a boost in its rivalry with its larger competitor XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. .

Sirius currently has more than 600,000 subscribers, a small amount compared to Stern’s current audience on broadcast radio, where he ranks No. 1 in 46 large markets across the country, including New York and Los Angeles.

But many analysts have said that a move to satellite radio gives Stern more freedom to broadcast his show.

Indecency on the airwaves became a national issue in January when Janet Jackson bared a breast during the National Football League’s Super Bowl half-time show.

Since then, Clear Channel Communications, which kicked Stern off six of its stations, was fined $1.75 million by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to settle all indecency complaints.

Sirius said it would need to add 1 million subscribers to cover the cost of the five-year deal. The company estimates total production and operating costs for the show to be about $100 million annually. XM shares fell nearly 3 percent in early trading.

Jersey to make bid for the Mets

WHAT THE HELL! Its happening! Things are a Changing! First The Expos are moving to DC, and now a new METS shakeup! Could it be true? The Mets would play in New Jersey? I am excited about both stories and look forward to see what happens in the months to come!

Jersey to make bid for the Mets – 9/30/04 – Star-Ledger

New Jersey is about to make a pitch to lure the Mets to the Meadowlands Sports Complex.

The plan — hatched by Richard Codey, the State Senate President who will become acting governor when James E. McGreevey resigns Nov. 15 — comes after several months of discussions between top officials with Major League Baseball and George Zoffinger, chief executive of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority.

Zoffinger has been talking with baseball officials about the possibility of bringing a struggling small-market team to a new baseball stadium in East Rutherford, but he agrees with Codey’s play for the Mets. Zoffinger said Codey will contact Mets owner Fred Wilpon in the coming days.

THE DREAM IS OVER! Our dreams of going to Montreal and catching foul balls are now just a memory!

Sorry Steve!

Baseball Returns to Washington; Expos Relocated to D.C.

Sep 29, 4:24 PM (ET) By JOSEPH WHITE

WASHINGTON (AP) – Baseball is returning to the nation’s capital for the first time in 33 years, in the form of the Montreal Expos.

Expos president Tony Tavares said Major League Baseball told him Wednesday his team was moving, shortly before Washington officials planned their own announcement to celebrate the news.

“It’s a day when the sun is setting in Montreal, but it’s rising in Washington,” Tavares told a news conference at Olympic Stadium in Montreal.

U2 Sets Album Track List as Single Takes Off

U2 Track List

Heard the new U2 track! Pretty Awesome! I also heards tracks from I-Tunes on the new REM CD, but was not as impressed as the new U2 single 🙁 Whats with REM? The last few albums keep falling flat! Lets see how thier CD does.

U2 Sets Album Track List as Single Takes Off

NEW YORK (Billboard) – U2 has confirmed the full track list for its upcoming album, “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb,” due Nov. 23 via Interscope.

The set does not include the tracks “Tough” or “Full Metal Jacket,” which band members previously had mentioned as possible selections. Among the newly announced titles are “Miracle Drug,” “One Step Closer” and “Love and Peace or Else.”

The album’s first single, “Vertigo,” is already making a bomb-size impact on U.S. radio outlets. After just three days of airplay, the cut is expected to debut this week in the top 20 of Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart and the top 30 of the Mainstream Rock Tracks tally.

At present, “Vertigo” is available for download exclusively via Apple’s iTunes Music Store. According to a spokesperson, the track ascended into the service’s top 10 within 24 hours and is now No. 1 on the list of most downloaded selections.

U2’s official Web site (http://www.u2.com) is hosting clips of the band performing “Vertigo” in its Dublin recording studio plus other exclusive footage of a recent photo shoot.

And while the band is not expected to begin touring until next spring, tidbits have begun leaking out about specific stops. According to Ireland’s Sunday Business Report, U2 will play Dublin’s Croke Park on June 26-27, with the possibility of a third show, depending on demand.

Here is the track list for “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb”:

“Vertigo” , “Miracle Drug” , “Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own” , “Love and Peace or Else” , “City of Blinding Lights” , “All Because of You” , “A Man and a Woman” .

“Crumbs From Your Table” , “One Step Closer” , “Original of the Species” , “Yahweh”

Star Wars Trilogy DVD

Star Wars: Welcome to the Official Site

Just wanted to chime in with a mini review of the Star Wars box set! HOLY COW! Well worth the the 8 plus year wait I have had my first DVD player! It is truly AMAZING! I can not believe that a movie made in the mid 70’s could look so vivid and amazing the way Star Wars Episode 4 looks! Granted the other two look awesome! I really like the special editions and the newly added graphics and scenes. Some stuff was a little corny but it still looked so amazing! The extra disc is also amazing! I caught some of the special that is on the disc on A&E; over the weekend. That was an edited version of this 2 and 1/2 hour epic, that is worthy of the price of the DVDs alone! Lucas also came out with Battlefront, a new Star Wars game I am excited to try out! I will let you know! 🙂

Britney Gate

Britney Spears



Did Britney Spears try to avoid paparazzi by staging ‘secret’ nuptials last weekend — a month ahead of her scheduled dream day in October? Or did she take the media for a ride by staging a fake wedding and selling the pictures in an elaborate hoax? These were the questions swirling about on September 22, 2004 as People Magazine published ‘exclusive’ wedding photographs and rival Us Weekly claimed it had a document proving the whole thing was a fake. Spears is shown in a shot from a new video.

What is up with Britney? Come on this is wedding # 2 for the year and she is getting pretty wacky! I have to get the skinny to see what really happened if she’s married, she is not married? What the hell! I feel something like this will hurt her both ways, just like the confusion around J Lo’s Marriage. I STILL am not convinced J Lo is really married! :O

A Day To Remember



The view from our house of the two light beams that illuminated the sky in memorial of the Sept. 11 attacks on New York’s World Trade Center.

What more can you say, a day to reflect and look back at what happened. It really hit me comming home driving up north on the Parkway.
