Bruno: One Of The Stupidest Movies I Have Ever Seen

Believe me, I have seen my share of stupid movies. You could even say that I have a tendency to watch them. After all, sometimes everyone just needs a little stupid in their lives to de-stress.

So anyway, after seeing Talladega Nights and Borat, I knew I couldn't miss out on Bruno. The character pissed Eminem - heck, who wouldn't want to see the movie?

Unfortunately, it was horrible. Seriously.

While there were two scenes which made be bust out in laughter, we had to suffer through the rest of the movie. Bruno in the National Guard training camp was hilarious. Just imagine a group of young men trying to be as tough as nails, and then having to handle this new cadet who adds a scarf to his uniform!

His song number with Bono, Sting, Slash, Elton John, and Snoop Dogg was brilliant. I wonder if these guys knew what the rest of the movie was like? I wonder if they would have agreed to appear in it if they did? Here's a video from YouTube:

If you have not seen the movie, don't waste your time and money.

New PS3 On The Way?

Some of you may know that I have been without a PS3 for over 6 months now. My beloved Jethro died on me in January - apparently due to a motherboard that got crisped. We have been planning on buying a new one but with our expenses, we just haven't been able to afford it.

My birthday's coming up, though, so you never know if a kindhearted soul would send one my way. (Hint!)

In any case, did you know that there is new PS3? It's the slim version and is supposed to weigh much less than the original. It is also much less bulky than Jethro. More details, according to Amazon, which has it on sale now:

• HDMI + Bravia Sync functionality that provides both 1080p output resolution, and instant in-synch connectivity between your PS3 and other Sony HDMI enabled products without the use of multiple remote controls.
• A new 33% slimmer, 36% lighter PlayStation 3 entertainment system that is also more energy efficient.
• Includes a Dualshock 3 wireless controller and a built-in 120GB HDD for storing games, music, videos, and photos.
• Built-in Wi-Fi for connectivity anywhere and multiple media format compatibility, including Blu-ray for crystal clear video on High-Definition TVs, CD-ROM, DVD, and others.
• Free membership and access to all the events, as well as game, movie, TV and other media content available on the PlayStation Network (PSN).

The question is: should you buy the PS3 slim or the original one?

It is actually hard for me to decide but the more I think about it, I think that going for the original one would be the best choice. When I bought Jethro, he was part of the first units released. As it turned out, there were some manufacturing/design flaws that resulted in the board melting down. Who says it's not going to happen with the first batches of the slim?
