Slumdog Millionare

Slumdog

The answer is B., I just spoiled the whole movie for you. K.C. should be glad that he missed out on this film. Somehow, I did enjoy this movie. Partially due to the fact that M.I.A. had some of her songs on there, which did not really surprise me. It was a Indian movie after all.

This movie is unique to me because it was nicely pieced together, this movie kept me entertained. My summary of the film: The movie was about this guy chasing this girl he met when he was boy. >.>

I love Rockband

So, after watching this video I thought about our time playing rockband at Circuit City. I think I’d make a decent vocalist, but the guy in the video showed me up. =)

My friend Kip…

Computer Illiterates

Ubuntu

Ninety percent of the people that I help at work are computer illiterates. It is my job to help these people out and get their problems resolved. What makes my job hard is when I encounter retards people who seem to purposely make their lives more difficult. The reason why I bring this up is because of an article I just read. It reminded me of the customers I usually deal with. Here is a conversation that I might have on a typical day.

-Customer brings in unit-
Me: Hello, how can I be of help?
Lady: My computer doesn’t read CDs anymore and it has been acting really slow.
Me: When did all of these problems start Ma’am?
Lady: Since I bought it.
Me: How long have you had it?
Lady: A year now.
Me: *puzzled* Well your warranty has expired, we can resolve this for $XXX.XX.

Usually this is where the customer gets very upset at the fact that warranties do in fact expire. It gets quite comical when they start giving you reasons why they couldn’t do anything (for the past year) about it because of a vacation, a sick husband or just not having any time. They act like I can extend their warranty or something like that.   -_-

Something else that I have to mention is that I hardly ever recommend buying a new computer unless I find it absolutely necessary. Unlike a lot of past technicians use to I work with, I don’t mindlessly tell people to buy a new computer because of a virus, or a corrupt OS. I offer them the service to fix their computer.

Anyway, there is a term that is used to describe where most of the issues occur, “PEBKAC”. I have no doubt about this.

Gran Torino

GranTorino 

Today was the first time I’ve seen a movie on Fandango with a ‘Must Go’ rating. When I first saw the trailer for this movie a while back, I figured that this would be one of those movies that don’t do well at the box office. Funny thing is, I was wrong. One thing that I must mention is that this movie is probably the first (big) movie that has Hmong people in it.

This movie is about this old guy name Wally (Clint Eastwood) who lives in a ghetto neighborhood with a bunch of different races (I think its called diversity). His wife just barely died and he is pissed all the time. What makes it worse is the neighborhood he lives in. As the movie progresses he befriends this Hmong kid who is bullied and is a big pushover. The old guy then keeps the Asian kid as a pet and locks him down in the basement.

Another thing I want to make note of is all the racial slurs I’ve picked up while watching this film today. For example, I learned what Zipperhead means.

Dragon Wars

This is an interesting film. I was shocked to see that the movie had really good CG action which made up for the bad acting. Dragon wars is about a girl who is born with a rare skin disease who has to die because the world is at stake. If she doesn’t get eaten by a dragon then the monsters will come back again in 500 years.
