The Monday Corner 10/12/2009

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! WELCOME TO YOUR MONDAY CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my head that's met with smathering applause... in reality I think people will just scroll down past it.


Life in Equinox Update:
Well since today, monday, is fall break I figure I'll probably be trying to cram in quite a bit of movie watching (especially tomorrow) so that I can live up to all the reviews I've been promising but haven't had the time to get to (or opted for a different film instead). Oh, and I will be watching Zombieland later this afternoon, expect a review up tonight/tomorrow! Keep an eye out for those reviews if you got the time!

For your Consideration:
I would say thank you for all your great posts this week, especially during my exam season, but I'm afraid if I do that you'll get too cocky. Instead, I'll just say What the hell are you doing in the bathroom day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance? (+2 points if you can name the film reference off the top of your head). Anyways here you go you sexy link lovers you!

- The Belanger brothers over at Black Sheep duke it out over whether or not the Coen brothers are film geniuses, or overrated hogwash.

Poll Update:
It seems to me that my poll votes are slowly declining. At the current pace I'm seeing about 2 votes per poll within the next month... maybe I should try and do something about that?

Poll Results: Let the Right One Remake Will...
1) Be Mediocre (6 votes)
2) Be Avoided at all Costs (2 votes)
3) Be Awful (1 vote)
4) Be Amazing (0 votes)

This weeks poll: The My Fair Lady article over at Nitflicky got me thinking: What is your favorite Audrey Hepburn oscar nominated film!? Get those votes in, the more I see the more I love you!


Random Stuff
- According to Blogger, since I joined in August of 2009 my profile has received "approximately" 810 views... WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE? I mean, I may account for 50 of the views (I'm compulsive), but wow... somehow I think it's people who mistaken Univarn for Unicorn and are trying to see if I'm magical... short answer: you betcha *wink*

- I've often wondered if I should go on and get a PHD in computer science (I'll be getting my bachelor's in the spring). The thing is I don't really want my PHD, instead I just want to have the title Doctor. Why? Well, because I anxiously await the day when I'm at a resaurant, a man near me begins to choke and a loved one, in fear, cries out for a doctor. So at that very moment I can stand up, scream "yes, I'm a doctor" run over as quickly as I can and go "Oh... not that kind of doctor, sorry!" And return to my seat and finish my meal (yes I've thought this through way too much).

- Is there anything more sad these days than the E! channel? I remember as a teenager waking up and watching all day marathons of True Hollywood Stories for Clint Eastwood, Natalie Wood, The Little Rascals... these days we're lucky if they even look at someone not made of silicon.

- Have you gotten your two cents in on my Top 10 Reasons Twilight Sucked article? Go go go!

- Sometimes I wish I had a panda bear army. Could you imagine the awesomeness of a collective of Panda Bears charging? Cute, but oh so deadly! (By the way I've been wanting this for years, well before Kung Fu Panda).

- I wonder how many plastic surgeries someone can get before they become to de-evolve? I had to go to the dermatologist today and I swear there were so many faces wrapped around heads there it'd make your mind spin!



Thus concludes this weeks MONDAY CORNER.... Corner.... corner (dramatic enough?). Stay tuned next week, same bat time, same bat channel!
