Stirring the Pot -- May 27, 2009
Opening the cards switches on recordings of, respectively, the Harrison Ford movie's theme song; and [Dan Akroyd]'s classic \"Super Bass-O-Matic\" skit, in which he acts as spokesperson for \"the tool that lets you use the bass with no fish waste, and without scaling, cutting or gutting.\" Opened simultaneously, the cards created a bizarrely congruous symphony: the \"da-de-da-DA-A, da-de-da; da-de-da-DA-A; da-de-da\" of Indiana Jones meshing seamlessly with Akroyd's assertive \"Here's how it works: Catch a bass, remove the hook, and drop the bass - that's the whole bass - into the Super Bass-o-Matic '76. Now, adjust the control dial so that the bass is blended just the way you like it.\"
Movie motors; The Blues Brothers (1980)
Brothers have a real blast HAVING emerged from prison, Jake Blues (John Belushi) teams up with his brother Elwood (Dan Akroyd) to try and get together dollars 5,000 to save the orphanage in which they grew up.
Dan 'no' to dumb dog sex
Bill Donohue, the leader of America's influential Catholic League, said he was disgusted at Akroyd's remarks: \"If I were a pet owner and was going away for the weekend the last thing I'd do with Fido is drop him off at Dan Akroyd's house.\"
Call yourself a Ghostbuster?
Visiting the team behind the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, it is clear that the artists, coders and designers at Terminal Reality have embraced the \"spirit\" of Ghostbusters in their game. Encounters with supernatural entities are every bit as chaotic as you'd expect, with the team likely to cause almost as much chaos as they prevent. What else would you expect from scientists who have unlicensed nuclear accelerators strapped to their backs? These guys aren't the muscle-bound, impossibly heroic protagonists so familiar to gamers; they're inventing the rules as they go along, and quipping the whole way. It's endearing, entertaining, and often laugh-out-loud funny. Indeed, the game looks set to offer a compelling mix of cutting- edge technology and classic Ghostbusters design, just as it will offer a who's who of the film's enemies, including Slimer, Stay Puft and perhaps even Gozer, as well as an array of new creations to battle.
Big brother is watching
I have never before used video surveillance systems. I'd love to have my house rigged up with one (or at least the bedroom, ala Paris Hilton), but unless you have a Jodie Foster-style Panic Room to control it all from, I can't see that it would be much help (the intruders will probably tip you off by doing something subtle, like hauling you out of bed at knife point). Still, when I unpacked the kit, I found a surveillance camera. Rather than screwing it into the ceiling (which would make returning it a real pain) I hid it in the aforementioned pot plants. Stage one complete. Ever wanted to know what your weird neighbours were doing while you're out? Well, once you've set everything up on your PC, you can choose to stream the video to the internet, or transmit it via the net to your phone, PDA, or remote PC. There's even option to email you whenever movement is sensed on a camera, creating a silent \"alarm\" to tip you off to intruders while you're out (or at least, to annoy you with hundreds of false alarms, especially if you have a cat).
Wondering who to vote for? Go with your gut instinct
Imagine what would happen if MP's stopped playing partisan politics, and channelled their passion what's good for the party to what's good for the country. I wonder if lawyers, with their training and bias in adversarial tonguemanship are capable of a healthy politic. Definitely we need more engineers in the house -- knowing how to design a bridge with structural integrity that can last, that's what Canadians believe in. Let's also have hockey coaches, who know the value in working as a team; teachers, fitness instructors and horse lovers.
Paul Martin's column: Dan nose his place
Set in Dublin the film stars [ROBBIE COLTRANE] as Brendan, an ex-gambler now working in the Dublin College of Medicine.
CONEHEADS' MISSES POINT
[Dan Akroyd], Jane and a whole host of other characters from \"SNL\" both then and now struggle with making the skit to screen transition. If you didn't like the Coneheads on \"SNL,\" then your TV screen and their alien voices are cranked up to a 1000 decibels. If you liked the 5- minute skit on \"SNL,\" you still may not be able to take the 2-hour movie version. You thought Dennis the Menace had an annoying voice?!
OBAMA, DEMOCRATS LACKING IN EXCUSES
\"No I didn't. Honest,\" [Jake] explains. \"I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! It wasn't my fault, I swear to God!\" The trips to Copenhagen, the five-Sunday-shows-in-one-day marathon, the three joint session addresses to Congress in one year, the prime-time news conferences, the state dinner, the speech in Cairo: These don't add up to \"constantly\" doing \"high-profile things\"? I can't wait to hear what \"high-profile\" means. Explain health care reform while parting the waters of the Potomac?
