The Bourne Idiosyncrasy

I just finished watching the Bourne Supremacy and I officially have healthcare. Clearly the first is more important

I have to admit, the Bourne Identity was a bit disappointing. While I applaud the creativity of the idea and I'm sure it was a hell of a book, I feel like the story was incredibly rushed along. Given the formulaic pattern of movie lengths, I understand why things were so condensed, so I was willing to proceed along the trilogy, soon to be a quadrilogy in 2012. For example, I would have loved to see some background on the other assassins. What a waste of Clive Owen. I'm thrilled that they kept Julia Stiles off the screen for as much as possible though.

The Supremacy was decent enough. I just don't understand why it's so important to kill Bourne. It's not like he possesses all these secrets. Yet, here I am watching fight scene after fight scene, very fast paced. Chase scenes, all of that. Frankly, I haven't seen the third one and I can already tell you what it's about. The CIA goes looking for him for some BS conspiracy reason and Bourne kicks their asses and manages to prove that he's right and they made a mistake. Fighting and chase scenes mixed with Hollywood's stereotypical government agency bureaucracy dialogue that Fox's 24 manages to do so well.

I hate to digress already on my second post back, but what is it with government agencies and power clashes in Hollywood? It's so boring. Can't these government agencies just work together?

I suppose the beauty of all of this is that we're watching actors pretend that they know what it's like to run covert investigations and track government assassins. Blowhard after blowhard, rarely making shrewd decisions. I'll have you know that even covert organizations have employees with a sense of humor. Think Mission Impossible III and Enemy of the State. Yeah I know I just listed 2 movies whose main characters I hate, but they make my point.

Ok Time to watch how the CIA will misunderstand something about Bourne while other people set Bourne up to be killed and Bourne ends up showing the CIA they were wrong.

Happy 2011

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm proud to bring back droppintreats to our loyal reader(s). I'm not going to apologize for the long break we took. I firmly believe if you cant give it your best, don't waste your time. I simply wasn't able to put the time in these past few months. I make no excuses.

So here's an update on what everyone has been doing. Rocco is still working with retards on a daily basis and teaching them how to order Wendy's. Jimmy works from home and his days on the orange line are limited due to some details to be revealed later. As for D...who cares.

To be fair, D did some serious traveling this summer. We did our BC tickets again and managed to make it through one entire game. all in all, it was a good showing for 2010. I did more traveling but I won't bore you all with the details like I did with my European adventures.

Unfortunately despite the many personal triumphs, 2010 was a pretty bad year. ESPN finally showed their true colors with Lebron fiasco. I've never seen such biased journalism in my entire life, including politics. Sure, the argument can be made that ESPN's mission is to entertain via sports, rather than report on sports. If that is your argument, my counter would be, what was entertaining about the Decision? Nothing.

We all know how I feel about Brett Favre so I won't waste any time talking about it. The Red Sox have had quite the offseason and I don't understand why the same people who hate the Yankees for buying championships are so happy with the Sox. Ever since this new ownership rolled into town, they have been spending hundreds of millions and continuously having the 2nd highest payroll in MLB, second to the Yankees. Only 2 teams continuously pay MLB's luxury tax, the Red Sox and the Yankees. So yeah, the Red Sox made some big moves and it's fine to cheer for them, but can we please stop hating the Yankees? The Red Sox are exactly like the Yankees. They can pay whoever they want, when they want, and they choose to do so. Red Sox fans sound ridiculous criticizing the Yankees payroll. That being said, the Phillies may be the team to beat.

But maybe not. Halladay and Lee are awesome, dont get me wrong. however, I think Oswalt and Hamels are fairly overrated. Neither are bad pitchers and I think any team would kill to have them as a 3rd and 4th starter. I just dont think we should annoint this Philly rotation...yet. To me, the early 90's Braves are the gold standard of pitching depth because they proved it. Let's see what Philly does, but I agree that it's definitely exciting.

I just got around to seeing the new Bond movies and while I know I am a few years late, Daniel Craig is pretty awesome. Casino Royale is such a good movie. By the way, I saw the Hurt Locker too and I have to say that while it was a good movie, it was sad to know that's the best we had. I mean, of course I'm happy Avatar didnt win, but we need better movies.

So what can we expect for 2011? The unification of Boosh D and Jimmy under the same roof would be a start. Probably more drunk nights in Southie. Justin Bieber...Sandstorm...shimmying. In that order. Since the world is going to end in 2012 presumably, I need not remind you how important it is to live 2011 up.

Well, I just wanted to let you all know that droppintreats is back, Boosh is back,

WE'RE ALL BACK MANG

I'm still taking suggestions for my 2011 adventures. I have some ideas but I'm always open to others.

Damn Shame

Armando Galarraga's perfect game was ruined by a blown call with two outs in the 9th inning. The call wasn't even close and Jim Joyce should resign. Denying a place in baseball history that Armando earned is simply inexcusable.

HOW TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL TELEVISION SHOW: 10 EASY STEPS

After watching every episode of Lost, and winning countless arguments with anyone who tried telling me it was a good show, I can finally stand proud and rest my case. Here are 10 easy steps to make a successful show.

1. First, create a show about a plane crash on an island with all of these explosions. That will get people to watch the pilot.

2. Then create all of these unnecessary mysteries on the island to draw people in. Polar bears, mysterious sounds, reoccurring numbers, weird symbols and lights, and even a tribe native people.

3. Name your characters after philosophers so people will think that their actions are based on the depth of once extraordinary human beings. Also, make up hundreds arbitrary rules (i.e. no having babies on the island) and then break them when you need to. No need to explain the inconsistencies of the plot when you...

4. Make sure many of your characters are inconsistent in their behavior. In terms of dialogue, make sure your characters never ask questions that common sense would normally dictate. If those questions must be asked, make any response a version of "Because I'm supposed to do this" or "because I said so." Also, be sure to change your characters on the spot, if one is a bad guy and then suddenly becomes nice, make sure you don't explain it or have your characters question it. When in doubt, give a character a "daddy" issue to make them more compelling and sympathetic.

5. Apparently since it's so difficult to do an entire episode about people stranded on an island, make sure you waste half of each episode on characters' lives off of the island at a different point in their respective lives, so you can wow the audience with coincidental interactions with other characters off the island. Idiots love small degrees of separation because the larger the world seems, the more insignificant we become.

6. When you run out of things to do on the island, make some get off the island, then insist that the characters feel like they have to go back to the island without ever explaining why or how. Keep adding conflicts that don't need to be explained so daughters can be inexplicably killed and former torturers become hitmen. Don't worry about how this resolves, or even explain why it happened.

7. Now that you have everyone back on the island, make them exist in different times, but don't explain that either. To reunite everyone, just set off a nuclear bomb. Even more importantly, make your characters survive a nuclear bomb. That solves everything.

8. When surviving on the island, inexplicably returning to the island, inexplicably time traveling, and nuclear bombing characters no longer matter, inexplicably turn your show into a biblical battle between good and evil. Of course, don't ever explain why it would be so horrible for the alleged evil to win, just insist that the world would end.

9. When you can't figure out how you want the battle between the good and evil end (because you arbitrarily decided that they couldn't kill each other), just turn them both into human beings at the last minute, without explanation, so they can actually kill each other.

10. Then when they all die, have them all meet in the end so presumably overwhelming emotions from personal time investment and emotional attachment to characters can negate any form of rational and analytical thought as to how you managed to take a show about survivors of a plane crash into a sappy duel over an alleged unconfirmed suspicion of an apocalypse.

Lost fans, both the drama queens and the moron loyalists, got what they deserved. The drama queens got their drawn out, emotional happily-ever-after entertainment ending at the expense of the moron loyalists who defended the show as if it was going to reveal the ultimate answers and offer some significance on reality. Initially, that sounds like only the drama queens got what they deserved. Yet, the moron loyalists learned a valuable lesson: IF YOU WANT INTELLECTUAL AND CREATIVE STIMULATION, TELEVISION DRAMA IS NOT THE PLACE TO GO. Try reading a book. Do a crossword puzzle. Learn how to play chess.

I know at Tufts there was actually a student-taught class about Lost. I wonder how that idiot felt after a show that he deemed so significant to society, a show that he felt could teach us so much, ended with a crashed plane, taking off a beach, in the middle of an earthquake. I'm sorry, but can anyone read that with a straight face?

Looking for significance and answers to rich, philosophical questions from Lost, a show about survivors of a plane crash that turned into a sappy duel over an alleged, unconfirmed suspicion of an apocalypse, was probably an unwise decision. Anything you can take from Lost are the same lessons you can take from Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, Gossip Girl, and Dawson's Creek.

Lost proved to be exactly what it is: lazily written, poorly acted (with the exception of Michael Emerson and occasionally Terry O'Quinn), emotion-pandering television entertainment; and nothing more.

Whether it be a valuable lesson about the nature of TV drama or the dim-witted drama queens who don't care about answers as long as they get a happy ending with all their couples reuniting, every Lost fan got what they deserved.

so yeah

alright so yeah everyone seems to be coming around to boosh bein on twitter. WELL IM NOT DOUG. So not that this is big blogging material, but my life has been crazy busy. I'm studying for the bar exam, working, and still taking classes. Once school ends, life should get a bit easier. Let's be honest, none of you readers give a damn about this blog anyway.

There's plenty of things to talk about. I'd love to do a baseball preview and how much the Sox will suck this year. I'd love to continue to rip on Lady Gaga, country music, and Tufts. These are all things I will resume doing soon, but I need to somehow find some time. The blog is not dead, but it could certainly use a revival. It's going to happen, but things are just a little hectic for myself, and Rocco. Frankly, I dont know what D or Jimmy's excuse is; but at least they have enough time to tweet now. That's nice.

Apologies for no posts lately...

BREAKING NEWS: LEBRON JAMES CAUGHT CHEATING WITH 40 DIFFERENT WOMEN

CLEVELAND -

The National Enquirer is reporting that 40 different women have had sexual intercourse with LeBron James. The Cavaliers have issued no statement at this time and LeBron's agent could not be reached for comment.

The women come from all cities throughout the country. Notably, and perhaps not surprisingly, the women hail from other cities that host an NBA team.

Most peculiar of all, many of his mistresses allege that he can only do it in a room plastered with Vlade Divac posters while watching videotaped footage of car accidents.

Let's address each of these allegations separately:
Room plastered with Vlade Divac posters. This is a very disturbing thought. LeBron James, King James, all that bull shit, can only be sexually stimulated in the presence of Vlade Divac? Vlade may have been finishing up just as LeBron was starting his career, which means that LeBron grew up not only watching Divac in the NBA, but apparently idolizing it. Further peculiar is the fact that Vlade Divac was a center, a typical big man, where as LeBron can play the 1,2 or 3.

The videotaped footage of car accidents. Well, this is a little less disturbing than Vlade Divac, but still horrifying. As for the mistresses, I'm sure vlade was somewhat acceptable, but how does LeBron justify turning on his DVD of car accident footage during foreplay? What goes through a girls mind when she goes reverse cowgirl, surrounded by images of sweaty Vlade Divac grabbing rebounds, while LeBron watches mack trucks absolutely decimate minivans filled with innocent families?

Tiger Woods may have gone to sex rehab and apologized for it. LeBron James may need more than sex rehab to help himself with this problem. In fact, it's quite possible that LeBron should be committed.

In other words, Happy Birthday Brian, and may all of your future ideas come to as good a fruition.

I’ll Open Pandora’s Box Any Day

Is everybody using Pandora Radio yet? It may be one of the greatest websites of all time. I’ll go so far as to say it’s up there with Wikipedia, YouTube, and Urban Dictionary. If you listen to music then you should agree. For those of you not yet familiar with Pandora, here’s a brief rundown:

Pandora.com is essentially internet radio that’s customized to each individual user. It’s better than regular radio because it only plays music you like, and there are fewer and shorter commercials. It’s also better than making your own playlists because it takes much less effort and lets you listen to new music and other stuff you’ve never heard. To start creating your own radio station you select an artist or even a specific song that you like. The site then starts playing other music that has similar qualities. You can constantly improve your own station by adding new songs/artists to the model and indicating that you like/dislike any song that plays. Pandora has this thing down to a science. For example, let’s say you clicked “Why was this song selected?” for “Don’t Stop the Music” by Rihanna (umm…this might be a hypothetical example). The site would tell you “Based on what you’ve told us so far, we’re playing this track because it features modern R&B stylings, electronica influences, disco influences, groove based composition, and interweaving vocal harmony.” Sweeeet.

The awesomeness of Pandora got me to thinking: how can this be expanded to other services besides music? My resulting idea was almost TOO brilliant: PandoraMatch.com. (take notes JimmyJames, this could be your next get-rich-quick scheme). Naturally PandoraMatch.com would employ Pandora Radio’s model of matching users to music they like by matching them to singles they could date and/or hook up with. Let’s see how this would work (for the purposes of this example, the user will be a heterosexual dude):

You’d start by naming chicks you had a good experience with and indicating that you like or dislike others: “Like” the girl at Bank of America (great physical shape, nice smile, not too aggressive in trying to sell me shitty banking products); “Dislike” the girl at Subway (she’s pretty nice but I can’t understand a word she says, and she’s less attractive than Jared).

The site would then start recommending other single ladies. While we’re at it, they might as well include photos and a short profile on the site so you can eliminate some without leaving the house. The more you used it, the better PandoraMatch would get. “Based on what you’ve told us so far, we’re recommending this chick because she is age 22-34, has long hair, non-blue eyes, B-cups or larger, is college-educated, and likes Oreo ice cream.”

What are some other features of Pandora Radio that could be used by PandoraMatch.com? Click “I’m tired of this bitch” and the site would keep her in your queue but not recommend her again for at least a month (we’ve all been there). You could also use “Send to a Friend”, like when you realize a chick is jacked and could probably bench press you. “Here you go Rocco.”

Why the Saints won

It had nothing to do with God, and I find it strange if New Orleans is going to insist that God likes them. Hurricanes aside, Bourbon St. has over 20 strip clubs in a 6 block radius. That just doesn't scream "God loves Nola" to me.

Let's get to the real reasons. The Colts undoubtedly played better throughout the game. Manning had all the time in the world and the Saints kept on blitzing. A cornerback jumps a route near the end and all of the sudden the Saints defense was great? Negative. The Saints continued to blitz despite failing miserably and managed to force an interception.

So why did the Colts lose? Bill Polian. Outside of Bill Polian, I find the Colts extremely likeable. However, that whackjob of a general manager is the reason the Colts lost. He upset the football Gods. The Colts pissed off the football Gods by throwing their undefeated season. Talk about one of the most cowardly moves of all time. All of the players were devastated. The coach was pissed. Everyone on the team was pissed. Just giving up in the middle of the game and putting in the bench players?

For what?! to save people for the Super Bowl?! Then why did Manning play half the game in a blizzard the next week in Buffalo? Face it. The Colts didnt have the guts to go for an undefeated season and you HONESTLY thought the Gods would allow them to win a superbowl?

Even taking the "football Gods" out of the topic, what kind of team wants to play for a pansy leader like Bill Polian. I can't help but feel bad for the Colts. They have the greatest quarterback of all time (Manning is better than Brady) and what do they have to show for it? 1 Super Bowl?! Against Rex Grossman?! HAHAHAHA. It's pathetic. The blame falls squarely on Bill Polian. He built one hell of a regular season team, but unless they are facing cupcake teams like the 2006 Chicago Bears, the Colts may never win another championship again.

I'm really sick of the Peyton Manning bashing too. He's better than Brady. Peyton Manning's interception was a better pass than 90% of Brady's completions this year. The reality is, the Colts just simply did not deserve to win. It was gutless of them to throw away their undefeated season. It was presumptious to say they were doing it so they could win the Superbowl.

Take for example, the New England Patriots, who went undefeated and lost by 3 points on a fluke catch (which was incredible) but a fluke. Then, we have the 14-2 Indianaopolis Colts who lost by double digits. Bill Polian singlehandedly turned a memorable season into just a standard Colts season.

Despite being happy for the Saints, I've never felt worse for the Colts.
