What the Bip?

Look what I came across....

???

That blog post I wrote was picked up by some random American Idol website and I was very very vague about the subject they were even interested in. The internet is so weird!

ps, we may be getting some random traffic on here because of it.

RIP John Hughes

Thought I ought to give him a little nod on our blog. As many of us are children/teenagers of the 80's, we have all enjoyed his movies (his credits include being the writer, producer and director of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles- that alone should get him a nod from all of us). In addition, he was responsible for: Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's, Some Kind of Wonderful, The Breakfast Club, Uncle Buck, Sixteen Candles, the list is long. He had a definite gift for speaking to teenagers, and many many of them ate his movies up.



He died yesterday at the age of 59 of a heart attack, while out walking the streets of Manhattan. Which leads me to wonder, Phisters, did you witness this by chance?

Sunday's With Sue 8/2/9

The Godfather! One of my favorite movies of all time. Definitely in my top 10, perhaps even top 5. I've watched it several times and love it more each time I see it. Godfather II is really a great movie too, but Godfather III is pretty hud sauce.

Cat got it first! You weren't sure of your answer, but you got it right! You've won quite a bit since we started the playlist thing. Em was next, she also wasn't too sure about her answer. Dan was next, then Dad!

Here is this week's movie quote:

Man, I'm tired of being right.

BEST OLD GUY ACTOR VOTE

If we go to those who have passed on, it will open a whole ball game sort of.  But I couldn't not leave Paul out.  He was good in his later movies.  i.e. Road to Perdition, Message in a Bottle, Nobody's fool, The Verdict and Color of Money.  Good actor in most everything he was in.
Redford is pretty good.  If you have seen Spy Game, The Last Castle and The Horse Whisperer you know what I mean.  His early movies were better however, and if he wins it would because of them.
Clint Eastwood:  One we have been talking about lately.  Gran Torino and others like, Million Dollar Baby, and I just saw half of Absolute Power just a while ago.
Robert Duvall, one of the best, if not the best, old guy actor.  Been in Secondhand Lions and Open Range, Lonesome Dove and many bit parts.   A true professional.

Let me know what you think with your comments.  Of course there are many others that I haven't put up a picture of.  Morgan Freeman, Peter O'toole and of course some English dudes and maybe best of all Sean Connelly.   

FUTURE SCENE AT ROB & EMS

If any of you blog viewers have not looked at Emily's Life In A Glass House blog lately, do so now.  You will be surprised and have a laugh.  Say a prayer for the idiots.  hahahaha

Something for Scout

She can watch this all day........

Happy Birthday Dan!!

Happy Birthday Dan! And it's one of those big birthdays, Dan is 50! Sorry to remind you of that Dan. Thanks to everyone who helped me put together the list of things Dan likes. And a shout out to Alex and Hope for their contributions. It's been fun having you contribute to the family blog Dan. And I'm sure Emily and Matt are especially happy since you win Sundays With Sue often.

Here is a list of things Dan likes:

Dan loves golf, even though he's not very good at it, according to Alex.

He loves the Utah Jazz, and has had season tickets for a few years.

He likes Coldplay!

One of his favorite TV shows is Big Love. I love that show too.

He used to drink Diet Pepsi, but now he drinks........

Diet Sprite!

Dan loves Dolphins! We didn't know that, and it made most of us laugh when Alex mentioned it.

One of his favorite authors is Orson Scott Card.

He loves Round Table Pizza. Oh excuse me, RTP.

He loves to play Tripoly!

According to Alex, Dan is the biggest Meatloaf fan. I did some research, and found out that Dan is the only Meatloaf fan.

One of his favorite movies is Phenomenon.

And of course, I had to include Jbox Tacs. I didn't want to, because when I was 12 Jbox Tacs almost killed me from food poisoning, the night Michael Jackson's hair caught fire doing the Pepsi commercial.

Dan also loves telling stories about him and Scott on their mission.

Look how young and nerdy they are!

Hope you have a good birthday Dan! I think I can speak for all of us when I say, thank you for introducing Scott to Amy. I can't imagine our family without Scott in it, and we have you to thank for that.

Love you!! Kisses!!!

Sunday's With Sue

Sorry I didn't get this posted last night. I woke up Saturday morning with a wild hair, and decided to paint my kitchen. That project totally took over my weekend, I was up until almost 1am Sunday night putting on the second coat of primer. Yes, 2 whole days of work and I only have primer on. I forgot how much prep work it takes to paint. No wonder I haven't painted a room since I did the guest room last summer. And I had to work until 7 pm today, so I am now just getting to this.

Anyway, Die Hard! One of the best action movies ever. It is one of those movies I end up watching every time cable shows it. I love this movie. I totally dug the most recent one too. When he hits the helicopter with the car, that was awesome!

Anyway, not too many guesses this week! I know Matt and Dad are dying to know which one got it first. And the winner is......Dad! Way to go Dad! That's 3 wins in the last month or so. Sorry Matt, Dad's email came in at 8:53am and your text came in at 11:22. No one else had a wright guess. Dan thought it might be the Matrix. I'm not trying to pick hard movies!

Here is this week's movie quote:

Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family, can never be a real man.

UNDER THE RADAR "21" the movie 3 stars

Pretty good PG13 movie, based on a true story of MIT students counting cards in Vegas and winning at blackjack.  Kevin Spacey is good as always and all in all a worthy movie to see.

Not a biggie, but nice.  Interesting about the life of high I.Q. students.

A pleasing new New Moon fact

It was announced today that Thom Yorke will be writing a new song for the New Moon soundtrack........... Radiohead fans everywhere are in an uproar.
The entire music community has been writing songs trying to get on this soundtrack because of the fan base of Twilight and what it did for the bands that were put on the first soundtrack (ie the Jonas Brothers -gag-, and some past American Idol winner I forget which, etc.) and competition is fierce. I have no idea why Thom has become interested enough to write a new song for it, as he is notorious for not giving a crap about popular things or opinions, all I know is the director Chris Weitz is going to listen to the new song today and I quote, "unless it's sounds of him belching, I think I'll put it in." Good choice Mr. Weitz.
So, while the Radiohead community laments, there is a little old fan in Cedar Hills that is quite excited and can't WAIT to hear the song. Come on people, lighten up! It's a fun and interesting story-- stop taking yourselves so seriously!
And uh, need I say--- New Thom Yorke song to enjoy???
