John and I love bad movies. Apparently.

It seems to be hit or miss when we decide to rent movies. And we seem to be missing a lot.

Tonight we were both in the mood to watch a movie, I had a free pass for Blockbuster, so we went, perused the store and decided we both had a sinful desire to see Ghost Rider. I know... big mistake. We get it. Shut up.

Needless to say, it was awful. No, I mean AWFUL. So, SO, so bad. Not too long ago we made a similar mistake and rented Smokin' Aces. Wow. I didn't know big budget movies could be so incredibly horrible. I was shocked. And horrified.

But in a way, I feel a sense of renewed confidence. John mentioned that if THESE were getting made for MILLIONS of dollars and the people making them were also getting tons of money for it... WE could certainly one up them. Right? I mean, I'm 90% certain that if I went out with my camera and made a movie over the next week, making everything up as I go, of course... I could pitch it to Fox (or whoever made Smokin' Aces) and quickly be one of the richest people in the country.

But I have a full-time job right now so that's not going to happen. It does give me a nice boost in confidence for my career, however. I'm fairly certain you'd agree that the things I've written would beat Ghost Rider and Smokin' Aces combined.

Anyway... this Sunday is Father's Day and I'm sending my dad a box set of "Keeping up Appearances." For those of you who haven't seen or heard of it... it's a wildly amusing British comedy that my dad and I used to enjoy on a regular basis.

What are you doing for Father's Day? I want to hear about it, so you should tell me. And I'm seeing Fantastic 4 2 on Saturday, which I'm excited about. Not so much for the movie itself but for the fact I'm seeing it on the Fox lot because Matt works there. Yay! It's going to be a fun-filled day for Justin and the Gang! (That's what we call ourselves, btw)

On a more serious note, I'm pretty sure I've lost any sense of financial consciousness or responsibility I had left. But that may be due to the recent move to my new apartment. All that crap costs money... AND I'm still waiting to get my deposit from the girl who's moving into my old apartment... AND Stef still owes me money for bills. Oh AND! Exciting news... for me... John and I don't have to pay rent next month. I KNOW. How badass are we?

It's not as badass as it seems because we paid a double deposit... but it sure feels cool. I could punch through a wall it feels so cool. But I won't. What I will actually do now is go to bed because it's ass late and I have an early and long day tomorrow. So, goodnight all! Have a blissful slumber or something. Bye!

iWant an iPhone

The iPhone is coming June 29, and I'm pretty much exploding at the seams just waiting THAT long. Imagine how I've felt the past 6 years.

I admit... it sounds little obsessive. BUT, ever since I got my first iPod in 2001, I've been walking around, iPod, phone and PDA in tow, wishing to GOD that Apple would make some kind of PDA/Smartphone that would encompass all three devices and I could consolidate!

That was six years ago, people. I've been waiting a hell of a long time... so I think it's only fair that I be a little excited. And while my phone broke a few months ago and I just signed another 2-year contract with T-Mobile... I'm 90% sure I'm breaking that damn contract and walking straight to the Apple store.

I should probably be a little more drunk for this blog entry, I must admit. I guess I'm not feeling that usual crazy 'Justin Porter Energy' tonight... so I apologize profusely if my writing seems a little stale. Well fuck you if you think it's stale! I don't see you writing anything. Bipolar!

Moving on, I'm excited about the progress of Frantic... as many of you know I was originally writing it as a film and turned it into a series instead. I feel a little bad about it though, because we even held auditions for the main characters and went through three weekends of auditions. Guess who never called any of those actors back after the callbacks? Me. It was me.

So, to those of you who were terrific (and who I'd LOVE to put in the series, fyi)... I'm sorry. :-\ I'm sorry. :(

I'm sorry...

That's actually an "American Dad" quote. PS I LOVE that show and if you haven't watched it you really should. I've taken an audio clip from the scene I just referenced and, just to bring it full circle, included a screenshot of what's going on so you can visualize it as well. Basically they got tied up and... oh you'll get it. The picture is from his second "I'm sorry". There's actually a ton of really funny things in this episode... perhaps I'll post about them in my next entry? Perhaps. But for now you just get this one! Enjoy!


Hahaha... oh dear that's funny. Diane and I have already started saying it. And by 'it' I mean the 'I'm Sorry' times three deal. Well good folks of internet land... I guess I should be heading to bed. It's almost 1:30... UGH and I didn't go running. I found out I ran 5.7 miles yesterday. That may not seem like much for you, but it's a lot for me... and it felt great. I subconsciously took tonight off, I think.
