Jake Sulley A Man Called Horse

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This is a great sci-fi version of the movie a Man Called Horse. I recommend seeing it in 3d. Amazing special effects.I really don't have much more to say about this movie, but they require a minimum of ten lines per review. I recommend using the restroom before seeing this movie and don't order the medium coke, they are huge and will make the end of your movie experience very unpleasant. Also be aware that if the theater you are seeing the movie at, is also showing Alvin and the Chipmunks, the lobby will feel a little like a day care center on coke,candy and popcorn.My 3d glasses were filthy even though they were shrink wrapped, so be prepared to have to clean them.I saw it at a theater with stadium style seating, and this is important if you don't want to have to see around grandpa's enormous head. I will admit that I looked at trees very differently for a few hours after the movie. It was a little like my childhood Wizard of Oz experience. You know the one when Dorothy is walking down the yellow brick road, and the trees come alive and grab her. Follow, Follow, Follow, Follow, Follow the yellow brick road.

Complaining about Barnes and Noble

Dear To Whom It May Concern 12/16/09

I am writing to inform you, that I had a very disappointing experience at your 3rd St. Promenade store in Santa Monica CA. Due to your confusing discount policies, I may not be returning as a customer to your stores or online services. I was told when I was at the register, that you no longer used the teacher discount card that I had,That you now have a plastic card. If I had an I.D. from my school however, I could receive the 10% discount. I only had my teacher's union card, but was told this was not acceptable. Even though it has been acceptable in the past. I had my discount card with my school written on it by your employee, when it was issued to me. The employee who issued the card verified my I.D. at the time of issue, and this should be reasonable enough verification. I also had plenty of photo I.D's that verified who I was. I was told, that if I could bring in my school I.D. in the next 90 days then, he (the cashier) would be willing to give me the discount. This is not a reasonable solution to the problem. The burden of proof should not fall on the customer as if I am some sort of scammer trying to get a $4.00 dollar discount. You need to improve this system or eliminate the discount. I would spend more then $4.00 dollars on parking and gas, when I returned to receive the discount. So it would not be something I would be willing to do. This is a confusing policy and has only made me upset, and I would expect it has made others upset as well. There are too many choices for books from other venues, for me to waste anymore time with a place that doesn't make me feel good about my purchases. A place that has a policy that creates an expectation of a discount and then denies it when I get to the register. A place that puts the burden of creating happy customers on the customers themselves, by asking them to assume the burden of proof, for a policy that the company created. Why would any customer waste time doing a job, that should be done by the people who are paid to work there?

Christmas is literally coming my way. As I was getting onto the 10 freeway on Thursday morning last week, in a rain storm, I noticed an SUV with those funny dear antlers attached to the sides. However they aren't so funny when they are flying towards your car at 60mph. I noticed the antlers and about 3 minutes later I saw a tan stick like thing bouncing towards my car. Boom, Boom, Boom! What the hell was that? I thought to myself, and then I realized that it was a decorative dear antler hitting the front of my car, and then bouncing underneath it. I wasn't able to pull over right away, but when I got to work, I was able to check the front of the car and noticed only a small white mark near the bottom of the bumper. Today, Sunday I was traveling down Pico Ave. West towards the ocean and I noticed a mini van in front of me with a little 4 ft tree on top. About a minute later, the tree was flying off the roof it landed in my lane, but I managed to swerve in time. Two close calls, and a new holiday song for me, dear antlers flying fa la la la la la la la la, Christmas trees a falling, fa la la la la la la la la.

Efficiency expert at the grocery store

Are single people invisible to families? I was in the cereal aisle at the grocery store and a large family entered the aisle and took it over. They cut in front of me by the product shelves, and began searching for their favorite cereal, Excuse me! I was well mannered enough to say this only to myself. Then I decided to cut in front of a few of them, and they began to move out of the way. Take that large family.

What about parents with young children who let their child scream, cry, and throw tantrums in the store while you are trying to pick out socks or something?

What has all this got to do with computers and efficiency experts? well, at the same store, while I was in the checkout aisle, the man behind me decided, that I would not need my cart after I received my groceries, and moved it out of the aisle. I had to tell him in a nice way, "I don't think you want to do that."

He replied, "Oh are you going to need your cart?" I think he was suffering from point and click disease and decided to delete my cart from his view or something.
