They're Kidding Us, Right?

WRONG!!!

Paris Hilton is out of jail, serving a little over 3 days. She's been given the rest of her term at home, under House Arrest...

The Associated Press reports:

Paris Hilton can still party despite an electronic ankle bracelet that will be a constant reminder that someone is watching.

"House arrest is nothing," said Steve Cron, a criminal defense attorney unconnected to the case. "She can have friends over. She can party all night long."

Hilton, who was sprung from jail Thursday after serving just over three days of a 45-day sentence, will be limited for the remainder of the duration to roaming about 3,000 to 4,000 square feet, said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

The devices allow long distance surveillance by probation officials to keep track of the whereabouts of offenders, but the range should give her free reign in her gated 2,700-square-foot home.

"House arrest for someone like her who doesn't have to work and doesn't have to worry about picking up her clothes at the dry cleaner is not a problem," Cron said. "She can have all her food sent in."

So here's my take on it:

I say leave Paris alone and quit making her "Headline Material". I heard the newscasters on Fox News say that they were tired of seeing videos of Paris and/or pictures of Paris on every station, on every magazine and tabloid cover, and the topic of many radio show conversations. They said they wished she would just go away. Well, the interesting thing is, I don't think Paris is taking all those videos of herself, nor the mulitude of pictures from the constant "stalking" by paparrazi to get pictures of her wherever she goes. So, you see, it is the Media that keeps us up to date on what Paris is doing. Hey Fox News, if you'd stop maligning Paris, you might be able to report on some pertinent news for America. I think she's gone through enough over this DUI probation violation. And, yes, just because her family is wealthy, I think she was made an example of. I think most people out there are both jealous and envious of Paris, her money, and her socialite lifestyle. Afterall, America is full of "wannabes", and I think a lot of these people that are constantly complaining about her would like to "be her" for a day! So, leave Paris alone. Let her serve her time, whether it be in jail, or under house arrest with the "bracelet". And, yes, she lives in a mansion. Her family has made lots of money in the hotel business and other endeavors, so, it's just natural that she live in a mansion. Again, another case of "we'd all like to have our own mansion". So, Americans, gets a grip. Stop focusing on Paris and focus on the real problems in this world.

Whatever you do, Vote Blue

I just finished watching the Republican 2008 Presidential Debate and I'm amazed at how much these guys continue to prove to be dunderheaded buffoons. Who could honestly vote for any of these knuckleheads? The guys in the lead, Rudy, McCain and Romney really have nothing to offer. Their best lines are snipes at the Democrats, but even then they have little to offer. They scream "The Democrats have the wrong idea on how to turn the country around" and yet it's the Republicans who've been in control of the country for the past eight, long years.

Ron Paul made a interesting case for himself as the only GOP candidate who wanted to get out of Iraq and stop policing the world. Sadly he's not taken seriously. Mitt Romney spent the 2nd half of the debate rambling on about and I quote, "America is the future! We're the future! Future!" without ever really making a point or elaborating the thought. McCain basically said everything that Bush has done is right. We've terribly mismanaged the war, but let's stick with it as is. It's a shame we have 13 million illegal immigrants, but a quick fix is to just call them legal. John's turned into Bush v.2.0 and finally Rudy has nothing to say outside of: "This is a threat to national security, Hilary Clinton doesn't know what she's talking about". Which is his answer to everything.

Some other amusing notes about the lineup for the 08' race on the RNC side:

Several of the candidates don't believe in evolution. ("You won't make a monkey out of me!")

Huckabee and others declared that their goal in the White House would be to "preserve life" (IE: Outlaw abortion).

NONE of the candidates believe gays should be able to openly serve in the military. (Just keep it a secret, then you can die in our war, but if you admit to it, your a nuisance and can't die in our war.)

No one has a exit strategy for Iraq, their solution, sans Ron Paul, is to just stay there until it works. (Good one guys!)

John McCain supports a bill that won't put a fence on the border, but will grant free admission to the US and citizenship to any and all illegal immigrants. (Hola amigo! Here have my social security!)

Oh and one of them wants to ban LEGAL immigration. (This is our country, you will be assimilated and no one new will come in!)

I see now why Fred Thompson is being heralded as the supposed savior of the Republican 08' race. Unfortunately this is totally on the fact that he hasn't opened his mouth yet. Thompson at this point is just a name and a face, with no real credentials or history, no policies or plans. He's only trumpeted because these other candidates suck so bad. I could be the Republican 08' nominee too if I wasn't actually in the race and making idiotic comments like the current crop of front runners. The GOP is so overcome with the neo-cons, the religious right and the faux-patriotic that true conservatives have no place in the party.

Thundercats are on the loose!

When I was a kid, there was 4 big things for me.... Thundercats, He-Man, Transformers, and Voltron. With the upcoming Transformers looking like its going to be a huge hit, studios all over are snatching up the rights to old school cartoons to turn them into feature length movies. Same thing happened with Spiderman, when it was coming out it was huge and suddenly we have comic book movies everywhere. Well last week it was announced that He-Man is going to be produced by Joel Silver, and I couldn't be happier. I had me some Transformers and He-Man coming to the big screen! On the same day that He-Man was announced, so was Voltron. Both to be made by Warner Brothers. I was in heaven, and I called everyone I knew and said the words, "Oh man now if only they make a Thundercats movie the circle will be complete!" That day has come.
Warner Brothers again, has optioned a script by screenwriter Paul Sopocy to turn Thundercats into a CGI-Animated Feature Film. Warner-based Paula Weinstein will produce through her Spring Creek Productions, along with Dick Robertson and Lew Korman. Sopocy has written the script as an origin story expanding on the major heroes and villains from the animated series, with the plot focusing on Lion-O coming of age as the leader of the Thundercats.

Now it would be way cooler if this was a live action movie. The fact that it is going to be a CGI Feature is going to make everyone piss and moan about it probably. But to me its awesome, because I would rather have a CGI Animated Feature film about the Thundercats, than nothing at all. Much like TMNT earlier this year. Sure it was CGI, but it was better than having nothing at all, and TMNT turned out to be an entertaining movie that I dug alot. So there ya have it folks, Thundercats are on the way with Voltron, He-Man, and Transformers! Now lets hope for some Jem.

The worst show EVER.

I swear to god, I don't think there's possibly a worse show on TV, than My Super Sweet 16. I would rather watch 24 hours straight Trinity Broadcast Network than watch a half hour of that show. What could be worse than watching a bunch of spoiled fucking kids bitch and freak out over how much money their richer parents will let them spend on one fucking night. Jesus fuck. Those fucks should all be shot to death.

RV's Childhood Movie Flashback Episode 1

The Boy Who Could Fly

When I was a kid, I watched alot of movies. My parents owned a video store so I had access to loads of movies at any time. But it has since closed, gone are memories years ago. So thanks to the greatness of Blockbuster Online and Netflix, both of which I subscribe to, and yes there is a reason for this, I am reliving my childhood. So this is the first of many articles reminding you of some classic old school family flicks that you saw as a kid (if you grew up in the 80s that is, like me.)

So, the boy who could freakin fly, can he fly? That seems to be the big thing in the movie which is actually really damn good, and really damn depressing. It stars uh well, that one dude from the Not Quite Human movies, A chick I haven't really seen in much else, the lady that played Holly McClane in Die Hard 1 and 2. And of course, Fred Savage. Oh yeah, and Tootie from Facts Of Life is in it.

The family moves to a new house after the father/husband dies, and of course, times are hard. Fred Savage cant ride around the block without bullies kicking his ass, Holly McClane cant get adjusted to her new job, and Random Chick cant fit in at school, yep life has definatley gone to shit. To make things even more odd, the kid next door is apparently nuts, and his Uncle Herman Munster, no seriously, its him. Anyways, Random Chick befriends Crazy Kid and she tries to teach him things, crazy kids parents were killed in a plane crash, and ever since he pretends he is a plane, and never speaks to anyone, ever.

After trying for months she starts to get somewhere, and hes starting to respond to her, but there are weird things going on here and there, and clues are piling up that this kid that pretends he can fly, can in fact, fly. But every time we see that he can fly, it is either a dream, or someone just seeing things, and soon enough Random Chick that is dreaming and all, makes us think that maybe she is the one going nuts now.

This is a really depressing movie actually, I mean the family goes through all sorts of shit, Fred Savage is doing poor in school, Holly is losing her job and is getting demoted, Random Chick gets a concussion, and then the damn familys dog gets hit by a car!!! Good grief. But that is ok, because in the end, when the Nut House Security Dudes are chasing down Random Chick and Crazy Kid, and theyre stuck on the roof with no where to go, and theyre about to catch Crazy Kid and throw him back in the looney bin, BANG. Mother fucker flies. He jumps off the roof with Random Chick, people screaming their heads off thinkin theyre about to see death but instead see this kid soar over people, flying. And not only does he fly, someone passes him a damn basketball and he dunks it. Yay happy times! And then the dog comes back and hes going to be ok! And Fred Savage beats those bullies and rides his big wheel around the block! Yes, depressing as hell, but in the end, all is good and happy.
