Monopoly - the Movie!
Ridley Scott has been developing Monopoly the movie for over a year now. I have to question what's taking him so long to figure everything out, because I came up with a solid summary for the movie yesterday.
You know the funny thing is that I see exactly how Ridley Scott should make Monopoly. He should base it on the plot to Transformers. Instead of good and bad transformers they could be good and bad real estate agents. And Shia LaBoeuf is like "omg I got all these monopolies and now I have Park Place. I've just gotta get Boardwalk." and Megan Fox the hot chick could be like "omg I don't know how we're going to get it against Donald Trump." And Shia's like, "well he may have money and smarts, but we have determination." And they're like about to make an offer on Boardwalk but Donald Trump sends his assassins out to get them. they elude the assassins Bourne style and then they're about to close the deal when they have to hide out at Shia's Mom & Dad's and grab a few beers and stuff. And Megan keeps acting hot and beating up the assassins, and there's a cool freeway scene Die Hard 4-style.Maybe it's not fair for Ridley, because my background is in screenwriting and I just happened to be listening to Donald Trump's book-on-tape Think Like a Billionaire (not to mention that Monopoly was my favorite board-game growing up because I was kind of a geek). But whatever the case, it shouldn't be taking Ridley Scott this long. I wonder if I should offer to help him out?
And then after some James Bond poker style rant that Shia gives that makes no sense but sounds way too cool to be wrong they some how snag Boardwalk and live happily ever after. They donate their purple properties to charity and sail off in their yacht going out into the sunset.
But now that everyone forsees that Megan Fox won't be hot after Diablo Cody's new script proved to be sucky, they'll get Evan Rachel Wood. And now that Shia laboeuf broke his hand, they'll get some douche like Jim Sturgess. Oh shoot, that's the cast for Across the Universe. Oh well, modern day audiences will eat crap like this up. Maybe we can throw in a few musical numbers and it will be the next Moulin Rouge...
Dumped By Trump
The headline in this week's Crain Chicago Business magazine reads, "Dumped by Trump." It seems Donald Trump is looking for more money for his still-under-construction Chicago condominiums.
Back in 2003, Trump offered his condos at a discounted price as part of the "friends and family" program. Now three years later, the condos purchased for about $1.3 million are estimated to be worth $2.2 million.
As a result, original buyers are now receiving letters from Trump's organization telling them they can either pay the difference in price, or give up the condos.
Darrell Does The Donald
I caught some of Saturday Night Live last night. Darrell Hammond rocks as Donald Trump! He did a little skit making fun of the whole feud between the Donald and Rosie O'Donnell. It was great.
Red rover, red rover, when will this feud be over?
Does anyone else feel that the fight between Rosie and Trump is a bit reminiscent of junior high school? Maybe we should put them in a gym and see if a rousing dodge ball match can settle the dispute. But given a second thought, the idea of Ro and Do in gym shorts is nothing short of repulsive. Can that idea!
First of all, can we at least admit that Miss USA is a BEAUTY PAGEANT? Enough of this "scholarship" and "representative" nonsense. I've been the recipient of a few scholarships in my time, and none of them involved a swimsuit competition. And let's face it, Miss USA isn't representative of me or anyone I know. She's no more special than a pretty face and a sweet bikini briefly flashing across the camera during an MTV Spring Break special. If you want to participate in a contest that judges you primarily on your outward appearance, be my guest. But at least have the cajones to call it what it is. BEAUTY PAGEANT.
Secondly, and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't each Miss USA contestant required to sign a contract outlining what's expected of her should she win? It would be interesting to read that contract and discover exactly what's expected of these young women. I'd lay money that "Girls Gone Wild" behavior isn't encouraged.
Personally I don't give a rat what she does. As previously mentioned, I don't consider her representative of myself or my peers, and her behavior has no direct impact on my own life. However, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that if I sign a contract, and I break the terms of said contract, I'm probably not going to get excused by Donald Trump (or anyone else) and given a second chance. More likely, I'd be firmly reminded of the terms of the contract, and then receive an appropriate penalty. What did Miss USA receive? Thirty days in the hole and a creepy hug from the lecherous Trump. (Story continued below picture...)
For those who are defending her with the excuse that "she's not the only person" to ever engage in such activities, let me ask you this: Should we stop punishing criminals since they aren't alone in their lawlessness? Her crimes weren't violent, but she still broke the law by engaging in underage drinking. And we have yet to hear official results on any drug tests she may be subject to.
And lastly, a few words for Mr. Trump. We all know Rosie is outspoken, and we've known it for a long time. I don't always agree with her, but she has just as much right to speak her mind as the rest of us do. You've always been skilled at making yourself look like an ass, but this time we can see that you not only look like one, but you actually are one. Your name-calling, frivolously litigious, homophobic, threatening, ridiculously juvenile comments are akin to the playground intimidator we all knew in 4th grade. (And you think she's the bully? Pot. Kettle. Black.) If you hadn't counter-protested so much, this would've been on the back burner by now. Maybe Rosie was correct in her assumption that this was a publicity stunt. You're certainly doing nothing to refute that allegation. In fact, I'd venture to say that you're only strengthening the case against you.
Here's a bit of friendly advice. Take a Valium, have a shot of Crown Royal, do some yoga, whatever it takes to loosen up. You're taking this WAAAAAY too seriously. Oh yeah, and lay off the spray-on tanner. Trust me, it's not working for you.

Donald Trump vs God...
There is a church at the end of Adam's street and they have a huge magnetic bulletin board out front in their parking lot, near the street.
There have defnitely been a few doozy of a sayings on there, but last night was the best one I have seen yet. I could not stop laughing about it all night.
It read:
"I do not fire my apprentices" ~ God
Someone must be clever! It definitely helped my mood last night. I left work in utter tears! I called Adam right away on my way home to his place (even though he was on his way to work) and I was crying and in such a bad need of a hug. Then I saw that sign. It for sure made my evening!
