Review: A collection of 5th and 6th season episodes with the 100th episode where Stewie finally kills Lois.

Quotes:
"What the hell are we doing here? What is this place?"
"Welcome to your first toddler pageant, Stewie. This is what you do in Texas."
"Ah, yes... lovely. A first-class ticket to a semen-covered death in the basement."

"Coming up, a local claims to have spotted Big Foot. We've got the exclusive interview here."
"I was about to bone my girlfriend, but suddenly she yelled. I looked up and it was Big Foot?"
"So what did you do after that?"
"I went back to bone her, but the mosquitoes went crazy and she said there was no way."

"Buttscratcha! Buttscratcha! Get your Buttscratcha here!"
"Buttscratcha!"
"Buttscratcha?"
"Buttscratcha!"

"Something just poked me!"
"It's okay, It's okay. It's just my penis."

"Who ate all the Pecan Sandies?"

"Hey... Chris... have you ever seen the movie 'Cruel Intentions?'"
"No."
"Selma Blair and Sarah Michelle Gellar make out... it's pretty hot. 47 minutes, 16 seconds in."
"No way!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, you know what another good movie is, 'Career Opportunities' with Jennifer Connelly. I mean, that's one of those movies where... she's... really hot in it... but it's also a good movie."
"She was in 'A Beautiful Mind' and I gotta say the direction was excellent but I was very disappointed that she... uh... wore clothes the entire film."
"Was she hot in it?"
"Yeah, in the way that like classy women with expensive clothing, who never take them off are hot. Ya' know?"
"No."

"Hey, and look on the bright side. Maybe you've got another chapter for your... Ha, Ha, Ha! ...book!"
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
"Oh yeah, pile it on! Pile it on!"
"Welcome home, asshole!"

"I think it's gay."
"Oh yeah? Well, if I'm gay then Freddie Mercury was gay."
"Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen? He was incredibly gay!"
"He was not. He had a mustache. That's practically like having a wedding band."

"Brian, pick up. Over."
"What?"
"Brian, please say 'Over' when you finish talking. Over."
"What? Over."
"Do you see the wire yet? Over."
"No."
"No... What? Over."
"No... Over."
"Okay, I'm gonna start feeding it through. Over."
"Wait, if you haven't started feeding it, why did you asked me if I can see it?"
"Didn't copy that. Over."
"I said, why you asked me if I can see it if you haven't started feeding it... Over."
"Oh, that's better, I can hear you now. Over. You see it yet? Over."
"You know? You're a jackass. For the record, I don't wanna hang out with you anymore when this is over."
"When this is what, Brian? Over."
"I said, I don't wanna hang out with you anymore when this is over."
"When this is what? You have to finish your sentence. Over."
"That's it! My sentence is over."
"Your sentence is what, Brian? Over."
"My sentence is... Wait a minute, I have to say 'Over' even if the sentence ends with the word 'Over'?"
"Ends with the word what, Brian? Over."

Film: The Contender (2000)

DVD: Anamorphic


Review: A political thriller with great acting from the whole cast. Joan Allen plays a female senator picked by the President to replace the VP who died in the middle of his second term. Opposing her appointment, the House Committee Chairman uncovers a salacious college incident from the senator's past and attempts to use it against her to sink her confirmation. A tiny bit of preachiness is the only thing that keeps the film from 5 Stars.

Quotes:
"Who doesn't want a shortcut to greatness?"

"So, how are Will and the boy?"
"Let's forego the small talk today, Shelly, I'm not in the mood."
"Let the big talk begin."

"It seems to me that all you can claim about me... claim, is that I had sex."
"Deviant sex."
"Oh, deviant? Who says it was deviant?"
"I do. What I say, the American people will believe. And do you know why? Because I will have a very big microphone in front of me."

"The people of this nation can stomach quite a bit. But the one thing they can't stomach is the image of a vice president with a mouthful of cock."

"Principles only mean something when you stick to them when its inconvenient."

"I should have come down here and pointed my finger your way... pointed my finger YOUR way, and asked, 'Have you no decency, sir?'"

Four Levels of Interaction on Facebook

Four Levels of Interaction on Facebook

1.) First Level - While you may be Facebook Friends with your closest friends and family, you communicate infrequently with this inner circle on Facebook. Except for sharing photos or funny links, most of your normal interaction takes place in person, on the phone, or by text instead.

2.) Second Level - In my experience, this second group is the one that Facebook serves the most. They are the close friends and family who would be in your inner circle if only they lived closer or they are second-tier friends that you normally only see a few times a year. (This group also contains former classmates, co-workers, etc.)

3.) Third Level - This third group consists of acquaintances you would probably never have met again in your life if it wasn't for Facebook. You friended them after hanging out once at a fun party or spent time with them on a vacation or business trip. You like or comment on their posts every once in awhile and they have the possibility of moving up to the second level after a while depending on the quality of interaction.

4.) Forth Level - This level contains the "Friend of a Friend" category. You have never met them, but they show up on your Newsfeed occasionally when they tag your mutual friend in a post or photo. This group also contains the people you didn't have the heart to reject their friend request. You rarely comment on any of their posts or have set them on Ignore.

(These levels exclude celebrities or people who frequently friend request total strangers.)

Film: Shrek Forever After (2010)

Blu-Ray


Review: Surprisingly for a third sequel, this may be the funniest Shrek film after the original. Weighed down by the pressures of family life, Shrek signs a contract with Rumpelstiltskin for a bit of escapism, one day of freedom from his responsibilities to enjoy his true Ogre nature. But like most contracts, there is a hidden catch and Shrek must fight to restore his family and the kingdom.

Quotes:
"Help! I'm being assnapped!"

"Okay, I know you don't remember me but we're married, and at the birthday party with some pigs and a puppet, the villagers wanted me to sign their pitchforks and this boy kept saying 'Do the roar! Do the roar!' Then I punched the cake that the pigs ate, and the next thing I knew, my donkey fell in your waffle hole."

"Why don't you just tell her what you told me? You know, about how you're her true love and you came from an alternate universe."
"Oh, and while I'm at it, why don't I tell her that you're married to a fire-breathing dragon and you have little mutant donkey dragon babies?"
"I do?"
"You saw what happened. She's going to think I'm crazy."
"I'm a daddy?"

"Puss, what happened to you? You got so fa... fancy!"
"Hey! I may have let myself go a little since my retirement, but hanging up my sword was the best decision of my life. I have all the cream I can drink and all the mice I can chase... Eh. I'll get him later."

"You know what would pick up the morale in here? Flip-flop Fridays. You can feel the breeze in your toes."

"You know, I always thought I'd rescued you from the Dragon's Keep."
"You did."
"No. It was you who rescued me."

Film: Drive (2011)

Blu-Ray


Review: I have never understood the fuss about Ryan Gosling. But after watching this, I think I have a man-crush on him. This is a superb film about a stunt man/mechanic who moonlights as the best getaway driver in LA. Loved the cinematography and soundtrack. I want that jacket!

Quotes:
"What do you do?"
"I drive."
"Like a limo driver"?
"No, like, for movies."
"Oh. You mean all the car chases and stuff?"
"Yeah."
"Isn't that dangerous?"
"It's only part-time. Mostly I work at a garage."

"Kid, I want you to meet Mr. Bernie Rose!"
"Nice to meet you."
"My hands are a little dirty."
"So are mine."

"You're Shannon's buddy right? We met last year. You drove me and my brother back from Palm Springs. We hired another wheelman. I spent six months in jail. My brother, he got himself killed. I got this sweet job coming up."
"How 'bout this. You shut your mouth. Or I'll kick your teeth down your throat and I'll shut it for you."

"If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive."
"You look like you're hard to work with."

"Here's what I'm prepared to offer. You give me the money, the girl is safe. Forever. Nobody knows about her. She's off the map. I can't offer you the same. So, this is what I would suggest. We conclude our deal. We'll shake hands. You start the rest of your life. Any dreams you have, or plans, or hopes for your future... I think you're going to have to put that on hold. For the rest of your life you're going to be looking over your shoulder. I'm just telling you this because I want you to know the truth. But the girl is safe."

Film: Shrek the Third (2007)

Blu-Ray


Review: Prince Charming returns as the central antagonist, rallying all the fairy tale villains to help take over Far, Far Away while Shrek is away on a mission to find an heir to the throne so he can go home to his swamp. Pinocchio and the Ginger Bread Man are the standouts, stealing every scene they are in of this funnier sequel.

Quotes:
"Onward, Chauncey! To the highest room of the tallest tower, where my princess awaits rescue by the handsome Prince Charming!"

"Fiona, try to be reasonable. Have you seen a baby lately? All they do is eat and poop, and then they cry, and they cry when they poop, and poop when they cry. Now imagine an OGRE baby. They extra cry, and they extra poop."

"You! You can't lie! So tell me puppet... where... is... Shrek?"
"Uh. Hmm, well, uh, I don't know where he's not."
"You're telling me you don't know where Shrek is?"
"It wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that I couldn't exactly not say that it is or isn't almost partially incorrect."
"So you do know where he is!"
"On the contrary. I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably..."
"Stop it!"
"...do or do not know where he shouldn't probably be, if that indeed wasn't where he isn't. Even if he wasn't at where I knew he was that'd mean I'd really have to know where he wasn't."

"Listen, Artie. Eh, if you think this whole mad scene ain't dope, I feel you, dude. I mean, I'm not trying to get up in your grill or raise your roof or whatever, but what I am screamin' is, yo, check out this kazing thazing, bazaby! I mean if it doesn't groove or what I'm sayin' ain't straight trippin' just say, 'Oh, no you di'n't! You know, you're gettin' on my last nerve.' And then I'll know it's... then I'll - I'll know it's wack!"
"Somebody help! I've been kidnapped by a monster who's trying to relate to me!"

"Alright people, let's do this thing. Go Team Dynamite!
"But I thought we agreed we'd go by the name Team Super-cool."
"As I recall, it was Team Awesome."
"I voted for Team Alpha Wolf Squadron."
"Alright, alright, alright. From henceforth, we're all to be known as Team Alpha Super Awesome Cool Dynamite Wolf Squadron."
