Gives me hope for what's to come as well. Bobby Hundreds gives in little insight to this past decade, year, and the future:

25 Days of Christmas: Day 13 4:53 PM

When I was a kid, my family had a set of these that we would put out on our couch every year. Today, I have no idea where they are. But they were some of my favorite Christmas decorations. Last year, looking around the mall, I came across them. I didn't buy them because the only money I had was to buy others presents. But on Christmas Eve, I was given them as a gift. And I very happy to have these two around again.

Today, I receive a text message from a friend with the following picture. This doesn't make me happy for them. It makes me jealous that they are at Disney World at Christmas time and I am not. I'll share it with you guys and maybe YOU'LL appreciate it.

Tim's 25 Days of Christmas 10:18 PM

I love Christmas and I thought I would spend the next 25 days sharing some of my favorite Christmas related things. These can be a video, song, picture, whatever I want really...

Today, I bring you Adam Sandler's "I'm Sorry, Santa" song from an SNL skit. This song doesn't get enough praise due to the popularity of the "Hanukkah Song" but it's just as funny, in my book:

Go Forth 11:57 AM

I'm really enjoying Levi's Go Forth ad campaign. It really just feels like a cinematographer and editor's dream. Very visual and very vague. But it all just clicks and comes together as awesome. Really resonates with me.

Modern Warfare 3! 2:20 AM

Screw Modern Warfare 2[which releases today]. Bring on Modern Warfare 3!

Awful picture. Killer concert. Jay didn't do a few things I had hoped he'd do but what he did do was ridiculous!

New Pass-Time from Old Times Past 12:01 AM

I cannot stop playing.

Life. It never stops. 1:01 AM

So just when things with life start settling down a little bit, we come to another little bump in the road. Yesterday, I started having this bad feeling. I just couldn't shake it all day. I was worried about my grandmother. She's been sick the last few days and sleeping a lot. This evening, she was checked into the hospital. Let's hope that's all this is, is just another little bump in the road and Grandma will keep on keepin' on. Get well soon, Grandma. I love you.

An Evening With... 2:21 PM

Kevin Smith did a Q&A at the Warfield in San Francisco on Friday night. It was hilarious (as his Q&As usually are). I heard a few stories I've heard before, whether it be from hearing it SModcast or something else. But I heard a lot of new stories that I hadn't ever heard before. One of those never-before-heard stories was actually the story I was most curious and intrigued about. That was the story of how he handled the box office performance of Zack & Miri Make A Porno after experts telling him that the movie SHOULD open big[but it didn't]. After making his R-rated comedies for 10 years, and never really passing that $30 million mark at the box office, he thought that was the ceiling for R-rated comedies. That's as high as the numbers will go for the type of movie. Until one day, Mr. Judd Apatow comes along and makes these R-rated comedies EXTREMELY profitable. Smith spoke on how he read in an article somewhere, "With the arrival of Judd Apatow, Kevin Smith has become irrelevant" and how that just ate at him. How he isn't ready to leave. He's not ready for this all to be over. So Smith saw Seth Rogen in The 40 Year-Old Virgin and immediately loved him. Started writing Zack & Miri with Rogen in mind. He got Rogen[one of Apatow's "boys"] signed on, the movie was testing well, experts were telling him how much this movie would make and how profittable it would be, Smith was excited. This was it. This was his "comeback" of sorts. His validity of relevance. And when it didn't do gangbusters at the box office, like he had hoped, that's when he realized, it was over. The way Smith spoke about the realization that he is no longer that same person who made Clerks, Chasing Amy... He's no longer an angry, young man. Over the course of his 15 years of filmmaking, he has become a better filmmaker[in regards to technique] but he has lost a little bit of that genuine fire and he is not in that place anymore where he can make HIS movies. Where does he go from here? What will Smith do now? Apatow has come along and made "Kevin Smith" movies better than Kevin Smith. It's now become a genre. The "bromantic comedy" and a new one comes out every other weekend. Just the self-realization and acceptance that Smith has was absolutely mind-blowing. It truly gave me chills. Almost brought a tear to my eye. I am not kidding. It was one of the most raw and insightful things I have ever heard and it was amazing.

Happy Halloween! 12:57 PM

And as a Treat, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite things Walt Disney ever did...
THE SKELETON DANCE

More Than A Great Movie 1:53 PM

For my money, this is the best sports movie since 'Remember the Titans'. One thing I really liked about this movie is the fact that it's not LEBRON: THE MOVIE. This movie follows his whole team. You don't just get LeBron. You get Coach Dru, Little Dru, Sian, Willie, Romeo... and you feel just as connected to them as you do LeBron. You follow them from when they started playing together as kids through their trip to the AAU National Championships when they were in 8th grade all the way through their senior year of high school. I was really surprised by how much of their young basketball careers is documented on film and how much footage actually exists. Their highschool basketball team may have been a well-oiled machine but the had so many other issues to deal with off the court. From their own egos, to playing with new teammates, to eventually having to deal with LeBron's fame. It was no easy road. One last thing I have to comment on this movie is the music. The music in this is easily what takes it from good to great and it gave me goosebumps. Take note of it. I really, really loved this movie.

My afternoon 2:54 PM

After a not going to the comic shop for just about a month, the comics sort of piled up on me. I know how I'll be enjoying my afternoon....

Grim Grinning Ghosts 3:46 PM

With Halloween days away, I was going through some halloween-y type things and came across this. This about the scariest thing I had seen in my entire life until I was about 7. Grin Grinning Ghosts from the Disneyland Fun Sing-A-Long video tape.

Where The Indie Hipsters Were - Last Night 4:42 PM

Went to the 12:01am screening of Where the Wild Things Are, last night. I really enjoyed it. It is a lot different than almost any "kids" movie I've ever seen. This movie doesn't aim for happy. It was unique and definitely a pleasure for your eyes.

Sidebar: I could not believe the amount of hipsters at this screening. Never have I seen so many flannel shirts, beanies, and beards all in one place. I should have worn a v-neck. I felt so left out of their club.
