So I netflixed Stepbrothers last night and as many movies these days I was given the choice bettween the verision in theaters or the "extended version".
The various verisions have really gotten out of hand with movies.
Before the reason for extended versisons of films were because the movie was beloved and the director cut stuff for time. Many people really took notice of this because deleted scenes in many movies would surface when they started airing on the networks. Back than people used a device called VCR to record stuff off tv. Many people (my family included) would tape movies that way. So,we had movies taped off of tv. They would be edited for content but many times they would Actually ADD scenes rather than delete them like they do now.
Films such as Back to the Future, Jaws, and the Naked Gun were shown with various of extra scenes. The Naked Gun had an insane amount of deleted stuff put back in, in order to bump up the running time shortened by scenes removed that wouldnt clear the network standards.
Now, they have Unrrated verisions which people always thing are dirtier. They aren't automatically. All it really means is the dudes that sit down and give a movie a rating G, PG, PG-13 or R before it goes to theaters, didnt watch a recut verision of the film. Sometimes it has stuff that would have bumped it up the ratings later. Other times it might just be an extended shot, some extra G rated stuff that was simply not in the presented cut of the film.
Now we also have movies on DVD with totally different endings than people that paid the $10 to see them in theaters. In fact I saw two verisions of 28 days later, that when I saw the sequel I couldnt remember what the REAL ENDING was. Sometimes these verisions have cool stuff that was cut (the older movies people love are hot sellers cause its new footage for beloved filmS) but sometimes its totally different ending. I saw so-so comedy with Zack Braff called The Ex (once titled FAsttrack) that had the one charcter a fraud in one verision and the other one legitmately handicapped.
There is a big difference though for a movie you already saw and never saw. Was the underrated verision of Stepbrothers any better? I have no idea I went with the original verision that I had also never seen. I figured that is the verision everyone saw. But now I hear the extended verision of the exteremly funny Forgetting Sarah Marshal was even Funnier, when I opted for theater verision.
What verision do most people go with when the netflix or are old fashion and rent the movie from a store given the opiton on a film you NEVER saw?

"Best Baseball Team in the History of All Baseball Teams?!"
So some one at work's husband is a big Yankees fan.
She told me he is all excited that they signed someone. Normally I would just tell her how terrible the Yankkes are and they are evil. Instead I simply said, ask him who the world champs are.
Kind of like Jays post on the crew blog last month. I find myself still a fan, but not really caring.
Of course everyone knows I am:
Flyers
PHillies
Eagles
Sixers (could care less)
So, at least I still have the anticpation of my #1 team winning in it all.
But as far as the PHils go, it makes me not want to even give anyone a hard time. I mean what is to get upset about? We did it. We won.
People are talking about who to sign.
I am like who cares we are the world champs!?!?
How could we get better. We are better than the entire world. If we dont win the word series this year we are just like every other baseball team that doesnt win back to back. Perfectly normal. I dont think I would even be that angry when we get eliminated.
I will be like, well we won last year. So big deal. That is my championship! I was at a good age for it. Still young enough to party all weekend and old enough to call it mine and have it mean more with all the seasons leading up to it.
I could care less about Chase being hurt to start the season. Dont care what pitchers we sign. I will be watching games again of course and plan on attending quite a few. Dont get me wrong I am still a fan. But, if things go wrong I will not be able to get mad. Its hard to explain. BUy them all out ? who cares ? we won already. I just dont see how I can even get mad all season long at this team. Happy when they win, but if they lose. Eh, whatever. Which is different than living and dying I did the last several seasons. I knew they would win the world series pretty early into the postseason last year.
I dont care if the Yankees sign Superman, who cares the Phils won!
Now lets get a Stanley Cup!

"Duke of Tampa"
So I just found out Duke will not return to NJ for the holidays. Jay thinks he will be back about as often as the Olympics.
We will have truely lost him to the sunshine state.
I plan on going down there in March to attend Spring TRaining for the WORLD CHAMPS---The Phillies.
While I am down there I plan to crack Duke on the Noggin and drag him back to the Garden State. That is the only way I am getting him back the colder weather.
I will leave a note to his future wife (or sender of Christmas cards) that Duke died on his way back to space.

"Best Wings in the History of All Wings?"
I will admit i got suckered.
The Pizza Place about 5 minutes got voted Best Wings in South JErsey by the Courier Post the last few months. I finally got around to trying them recently.
I am aware that these places stuff the ballots, because the new defunct Chicken Coop always got best wings and they were terrible. That place was best known for selling hard drugs. At least that was what the folklore was.
So, I was holding back my expectations a bit. But at I least expected wings.
You see Wings to me if they are "dry" are simply fried chicken. Many pizza places give you this when you order wings. I thought it might be different in this case, since I found actual wings near my office from both a deli (actually pretty good) and a pizza place (fairly good), so I thought people would not vote on fried chicken to be the BEST. THE BEST.
They sucked me with their order of more wings than one person should eat (their smallest order was 15) but I figured if they were good I wouldnt care.
I got them home and opened them up with my mouth watering. IT was simply just fried chicken wings with a side of hot sauce that you put them in. The sauce was nothing more than tabassco sauce.
These are not chicken wings, or are simply wings for people who dont like wings. Less messy, but they are not wings. To make matters worse it wasnt even good fried chicken. What a waste of money.
I want to put some sort of law in to effect that makes them not call wings like this wings. Crispy wings, fried chicken wings, are left over stuff from people that actually ordered fried chicken.
If you need me I will be walking down the streets of Pine Hill with a sign put around me that says BAD CHICKEN!
I will also be yelling NO CHICKEN! NO CHICKEN!

"Flu Shots Are Stupid"
So, my office gets flu shots for free.
I always refuse.
First off, the shot is just a guess what Flu Virsus will be all the rage this winter.
Second, it doesn't prevent you from getting a stomach virus. That is what I am always prone to.
Third, last year when people got the shot they got sick anyway. The Flu wiped out all but 6 or 7 of the over 20 people in my office. Kind of like that episode of Head of the Class when they all get sick. IT was nuts only 6 of us running the office, and most of us DID NOT get the shot.
This year we did it about a month ago. It made people sick for a few days. YOu know why? BECAUSE THEY GIVE YOU THE FLU! Thats what the shot is.
Your opitions are
A: Roll the dice and not get the flu hopefully
B: Get kind of sick or pretty sick when you ask the doctor to GIVE YOU THE FLU, than have an almost exact amount of risk of getting sick as anyone else.
Dont trust those jerks just casuse the have a doctors lab coat on ! They are GIVING YOU THE FLU!
Just run!

Tuckers World to Be Bailed out!
Due to lack of posts Tuckers World is being bailed out by the government. Because the blog writer has done a piss poor job with updates and has no readers the government is going to give him tons of money to make up for his stupidity. Dont worry though some how your getting taxes cuts still. Unless you are a lot more succesful than Tucker than you will be punished in order to make up for his rarely updated blog.

so Jay and I went to the Phillies Parade this last Friday.
It was pretty feaking awesome.
We were wise enough to take the train in before it got to nuts. I am told that some stations shutdown all together. We may have gotten there a bit early but it was worth it.
We actually walked from center city to the stadiums all the way down broad street. I dont think I ever even drove that long down broad street. Let alone walk it.
The meeting of other people was pretty nuts cause so many people were around.
We did however get a pretty good spot for the parade and Jay got some great pictures.
I am glad the drought was finally over.

"Phillies Luck Charm Stolen!"
At my work we had a little radio that we played music on during the day. DUring the Phillies playoff run at 4pm each day we put on the Rocky Balboa soundtrack. The CD has all the great his from the movies. THe Rocky THeme, Eye of the Tiger, Living in America, and No Easy Way out.They only lost once since we started doing it, and it was on a Saturday when only one or two people from my department are actually in.
On Saturday my friend Josh had to go into the office to get some work done. When he got there he was shocked to find that radio gone!
Monday morning he told us all and we tried to figure oh happened. To our horror we realized that the CD was still in there!
Here is the list of people that could have stolen the radio
someone who didnt like music being played
someone who was a met/sox(it was done friday night) or Rays fan
Someone who hates Rocky and is likely a communist (Rocky brought down communism in Rocky IV)
Someone who didnt realize the radio belonged to the boss of the entire branch.
Or course the obvious and yes I am blamming them again, cleaning ladies.
We are left with an empty CD case and remote (which oddly is needed to change songs on CDS) and heavy hearts.
TOmorrow there is no playing of Rocky. The Phillies are on their own I guess. If I find out who stole it, I will be looking for readers who want to be members of an angry mob.

"Taylors Friday"
I am starting the my last year of legal drinking in my 20s how i started it. I will be going to Taylors Friday night with my friend whos birthday is also sometime this weekend. I know most of my friends hate Taylors (formerally topdog) but it should be a good time. Hope to get a bunch of people there, I know some people from work are going to be there. Its just a lot easier for people from work to get there. Call me if you want to show up. If I don't die I will watch the FLyers season opener Saturday and likely hit up Jerseys afterwards. So, if you can make it make the other or just uncomfortable at Taylors I should be able to suck it up for night 2.

"Is Gary Bettman Running the Debates?"

During the a Friday night? When people are at Highschool football games, on dates, getting hammered, watching baseball, sleeping, or at the movies.

ARe they out of touch that much?
I know its important and all too watch but lots of people have obligations on a Friday night.

"Bailout"
So let me get this straight.
Banks gave money to people that they shouldn't give money to. People that are a risk to loan money to and never had the means or intention to pay back the bank. In some causes the bank didnt have any money in the vault to give to these people they just wanted to jump on the housing boom bandwagon. Than the banks because they don't know how to run a business go belly up. The government goes in, the government trillions of dollars in debt mind you goes in and buys them out.
Can I get the government to pay my student loads? Since I dont feel like paying them.

"I hate Nedved
Always hated this guy. Now this loser is trying to play for the Rangers. Its bad enough having this tool before, now he is washed up.
http://www.nj.com/rangers/index.ssf/2008/09/fans_on_the_new_york_rangers_f.html
He might be one of the most talentless players to ever sit out an entire NHL season for money. THankfully he never got what he wanted.
What a joke. It made me sick when we got this guy. I thought it was funny that we ended up sending him to the PHantoms during the lost season. Mr. puck hog had to ride the bus all the time and sit with all the AHLers. If only we could have paid him a lot less.
This guy is seriously just in it for the money, and has zero heart. The Rangers are just stupid. Shanny wants to come back and they are messing around with this moron? Seriously you want an old school guys, SIgn up Shanny. He has heart and talent. I think he could still play the game.
I guess I should be glad a team this stupid is in our divison. Does this guy have pictures of NHL GMs in embarassing situations or something?
I hate this guy.

AOL SUCKS
when I blog in AOL it formats the blog entry to one long paragraph. I am too lazy to type it again in another application. Sorry.
"Hatch"
Derian Hatcher's days in the NHL are likely over. He is going to be on the long term IR for the start of the season. This is good because it cures the Flyers cap room problem and they don't (not saying they wont) have to deal Upshall or Knuble. Also, players like Dowd and Berard can be signed if they make a good enough case for themselves. I would just like to say that I think Hatcher kind of got a bad rap. He was not build for the new NHL, but I think he was able to change his game eventually and became an effective player. Yeah speed is important but so is that quiet leader type that can just punish guys that skate over the blueline. Hatcher was that guy and we dont seem to have another guy to fit that role just yet. Hatch gave it his all and his body was in terrible shape and he was in awful pain yet he played through it and was a big part of our PK last year. I know a lot of people hated him. He would frustrated me sometimes, but I think he helped out last season. The guy was never an asshole about it when the fans turned on him and I think helped pass work ethic on to our younger guys. It rumored that Hatch will get a cushy job with the Flyers. I hope so, because he certainly earned it playing with blown out knees last season. YEah he was slow, but its time to give Hatch some love. Again I think people just used him too much as punching bag. Good luck Hatch, and if you come back, please dont plow over Lupul again. We just signed him for a few more years and he cant get his spine all burised up again.
