Tron? Tron.



Are you getting tired of remakes and sequals of classic movies for purposes of ridiculous monetary gain from a new generation?



Yeah, me neither.

All I know is that people are watching them. If there was a protest to be made about remakes, reimaginings or gapped sequals then it would have to be made at the theaters, or more, at Walmart on Blu-ray and DVD sales. Until these flicks stop earning enough to close the U.S. deficit in 5 years, were in for a lot more where this came from.

To Tron Legacy's defense however, this should be awesome. New story. Talented actor (Bridges), who doesn't usually go for cash grabs. Amazing graphics. And hopefully, finally, a unforced use of this new-fangled 3D technology that IMAX keeps trying to pull over on me, and my $15 cash money.

Let me know what you think, here or on Facebook. I'm always ready to listen.

Hardee's - French Maids, French Dip



A big part of my absence for the past 20 days or so has been Hardee's, their newest Thickburger® and a handful of gorgeous french maids.

The French Dip Thickburger was launched at the 2009 MLB All-Star Game here in St. Louis and is available at most if not all Hardee's restaurants. Thats's right the French Dip Thickburger. That's a Thickburger, with the full amount of Roast Beef you would get at say Arby's on top of it, with Swiss cheese, and side of Au Jus for dipping. Voila!:
"Meat as a condiment," is Hardee's M/O. And I had one of these Thickburgers. It's good. Not good for me, but good tasting. This isn't the ideal sandwhich for someone who sits at a computer all day. But when I was working as a roofer in college, this would have been perfect.

We helped make Hardee's vision of four models/actresses dressed in french maid uniforms, riding around the streets of St. Louis on Segways, flirting their way into the hearts of Meat loving Americans a reality. And now they're on the move. Next week the girls (the French Me Femmes; Sophie, Antoinette,Gabrielle, Isabelle are touring the region in a SUV that I designed. This is it:







You can see if they are coming to your area anytime soon by checking this calendar. The girls will be distributing coupons for FREE French Dip Thickburgers, as well as taking photos while "Frenching" guys across the country. If you don't think you'll get a chance to see the girls in person, click here to download a coupon for $1.00 OFF a French Dip Thickburger Combo.

Let me know what you think of the sandwich, the promotion or the unapologetic female exploitation.

Almost a month without a blog... wow!


So I hate when bloggers apologize for their absence, it seems a bit presumptuous. But that won't stop me. I'm sorry. I have been crazy busy for the last month, and due to the fact that I do most of my blogging at work, well, let's just say the bosses never like to see me writing about the new Kellogg's Corn Flakes® Touch of Honey when were on a tight client deadline.

So for the next few posts I am going to try and take a look back at my month and tell you what I have been seeing and hearing around my world.
