Happy Fourth of July everyone! Enjoy your holiday weekend!

Stay tuned though, I’ve got some great ideas in the works for where my little corner of the internet is headed!

Finally posting some actual photos from the wedding. For more, check out this album.
By the way, our photographer was fantastic. If you’re getting married soon, and need some good pics at a really decent price, check him out here: Josh Gormley Photography.

The movie combo game

  1. I describe a film plot based on two movies.
  2. You tell me the combined title.

For example: Plot: suburban family gets mad at a hairy mountain-beast for satirizing them in his roman-a-clef.

Title: Deconstructing Harry and the Hendersons.

So reblog or comment with an answer to the following, but ONLY if you write your own too.

Plot: A conman accidentally teaches an Austrian family about the joys of song. But soon after they form a marching band and perform to a wildly appreciative audience, they’re forced to flee the country.

The Sound of Music Man?

PLOT: A newly engaged couple, whoose car breaks down in an isolated area, come upon a strange residence where they seek aid from a nerdish florist and his giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed.

Answer: Little shop of Rocky Horror Picture show

My post: Two pot smoking half-wits from New Jersey travel back in time to stop hollywood from making a movie about their comic book character personas.

Answer: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back to the Future

New plot: A delusional young man buys a life-size sex doll over the Internet, and falls in love with her. The family intervenes by sending the doll to a mental institution after an apparent suicide attempt, where she befriends the other patients and battles her personal demons.

Answer: Lars and the Real Girl, Interrupted

This is fun. New movie combo: A mentally unstable Vietnam vet begins a one-man war with the police force in a small town in Sierra Leone to recover a rare pink diamond. Also, he wears a red headband and blows shit up.

Answer: First Blood Diamond

My turn: A tight group of criminals, seeking to repay money they’ve already stolen from a Las Vegas casino owner, attempt to steal a fancy egg with a cure for a virus that has wiped out most of humanity from a group of terrorists in post-apocalyptic America.

Save Social Services in IL
There’s a rally tonight at the Thompson Center. If you can’t go to that, at the very least, you should contact your representative and tell them you don’t want social services cut in Illinois.

My wife just e-mailed me this too:

On Friday, my agency received a call from a gentleman who wants to foster his nieces and nephews. These children just witnessed their father murder their mother. Dad is now off to prison and the kids need a safe home….but will obviously require a great amount of services after witnessing such a horrific act. Because of this budget issue, the program that would be able to assist these kids and make the uncle capable of fostering these kids is being cut….the kids will most likely end up in a shelter as a result :(

This reminds me of a Chesterton quotation from Orthodoxy, in which he describes that the sun rises every morning not because of some natural “law” that we purport to exist, but because God never gets bored with making it happen each day.

My second post involving GK Chesterton. Man, I love that guy. Always has something amazing to say. CS Lewis ain’t half bad himself.
