A Word from the PSBE...

And Now A Random Thought From Editor #4...

The OSCARS review with the PSBE…

What a night for Hollywood! All of us at State Controlled Media love the movies. Admittedly, we are waaaay behind in new movies. I have seen every best picture winner and 75-80% of all nominees. I wasn’t fazed that I had not heard of most of the movies this year. It was some time ago that the academy went from giving the accolades to the most entertaining movie and started giving them to the best “art” movie. During the year if we go to the movies it is typically something fun to watch, something that needs a 40 foot screen.

The movies have changed and the way we watch has also changed. But watching the award made me a happy Perpetual Supreme Benevolent Editor.   I didn’t know they could do this but the academy went way back to rectify one of the most egregious oversights in movie history. The Best Picture Award went to Silent Movie!

It was 1977 and the award for Best Picture went to Rocky. Silent movie was not even nominated. All of the nominees that year were dark and depressing movies. But Silent Movie was overlooked. Heck, even the Best Foreign Film was Call Black And White In Color. But Silent movie was way ahead of its time. Finally the Academy Awards decided to rectify the error and ignore the fluff of this year and make things right; furthermore….

SCM Editor: UH, PSBE…

PSBE: Yes?

SCM: Sorry to interrupt but Silent Movie didn’t win.

PSBE: It Didn’t??

SCM: No, a silent movie won; it is called The Artist.

PSBE: The Artist?

SCM: Yes.

Oh. Well then that just means we gave an Academy Award for a silent movie? I mean there is a reason we now have talkies…right? Hmmm…Maybe I need to rethink this.

 SCM: What would your Best Picture be?

PSBE: You know what...  To Be Continued

UPDATE: We almost forgot our favorite part! Best Original Song was won by Man Or Muppet. Hell Yeah!!!

Random Fact...

A popular myth regarding human sexuality is that men think about sex every seven seconds. In reality, this has not been measured...do to the fact that the MALE researches couldn't concentrate on the topic for longer than six seconds.

Telling You What to Watch...

Unstoppable

Starring Chris Pine (AKA, Captain James Tiberius Kirk)

 and Denzel Washington. The movie is about a runaway train and two unlikely heroes attempt to stop it. Capt. Kirk is the new guy, Denzel is the salty vet. Kirk is having marital problems and Denzel’s wife is dead.  They have a myriad of other personality conflicts that make it difficult for them to work together. When they are face with a precarious situation where lives are in danger they must find a way to put their differences aside. The movie was interesting as long as you ignore the HUGE plot holes and odd narrative.  We at State Controlled Media can firmly and confidently tell you not to watch it.

What’s that? You thought we were telling you to watch Unstoppable? NO. If you want to watch a movie about a black guy and white guy who barley know each other thrust into a conflict while trying to stop a runaway train watch Silver Steak.

 It stars Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. A much better movie with great acting and fun. It is so un-pc it could not get made today. Take some time and watch it just to remember that we used to have fun and we were able to laugh at ourselves.

Ten Important Facts on Top 10 Lists...

 

Our special Editor has been adamant that we do top ten lists...or any list.

So we at State Controlled Media have decided to head her advice and do a top ten list.

Here are the reasons we have not done a top ten list before and why we probably will never do one again.

 

10. We are barely clever enough to come up with one salient point about any given subject.

9. Our attention span is so short; keeping a train of thought through 10 points is nearly..

8. Sorry, we were watching Person of Interest (see#9).

7. We are already bored with this.

6. We cheat a lot. (we know that is not real a point germane to the topic)

5. 01010111 01100101 00100000 01101100 01101001 01101011 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100100 01101111 00100000 01110011 01101000 01101001 01110100 00100000 01101001 01101110 00100000 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001     Binary Converter

4. It was our special editor's idea and that makes us not to want to do it.

3. Gas prices, NFL combine, Daytona 500, NASCAR, Lin-Sanity, Hot nude girls

2. Are we not done yet?

1. THE Perpetual Supreme Benevolent Editor hates arbitrary lists...

 

So there you have it. Our first/last top ten list.

 

A word on spell check. Spell check always gives us fits. Sometimes we use words that are not in common vernacular and spell check doesn't like it. We often make usage errors and spell check doesn't care. It haste when we type SCM or PSBE but, it has no problem with Lin-Sanity...just saying.

 

(Editor NOTE: Stay tuned for the top ten reasons why the PSBE is awesome)

Random Facts...

Did you know any sins you commit during  Mardi Gras are automatically forgiven?
