Rog Blog: For a Sunday
Wow, a Sunday blog. What to write about?
Happy Sunday: I’m working hard on doing more blog entries. What I’m wondering is what I can do to get more participation. The reader email worked really well. I’d much rather interact with readers and talk about the things you care about than just rant on about whatever is in front of me. On the other hand, you guys know I can talk about what’s on ESPN news all day, every day. I just don’t think anyone really wants that.
Eye Candy: Today’s eye candy theme…hot porn chicks. First up is the queen herself Jenna Jameson in a uniform set. Come fly Jenna Airways.
Reviews from the weekend: It was another busy weekend with a lot of reviews added. Most notably of course is Erik Everhard’s “Anal POV 4”. It’s a great movie that falls victim to a five hour running time. Six POV scenes for five hours? This movie is proof that you can have too much of a good thing. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Check out Anal POV 4 and tell me if you think that the movie could be trimmed down to 3.5 hours and actually be a stronger effort overall. It feels like people have fallen in love with long running times and with the same number of scenes, all we are getting is stuff that used to end up on the cutting room floor. If it’s true that “video killed the radio star” then we can certainly argue that “running time killed the DVD.” (How many people are going to pull out a Buggles reference twenty five years later?) I also took a look at DCypher’s “Nowhere Angels.” This movie had a lot of pre-release hype and an interesting vibe. The script is interesting and often borders on brilliant. It just doesn’t have the strong sex scenes to go with the interesting dialog. It’s worth a look if you want something a little deeper than the average fuck and suck.
Eye Candy: If Jenna is the Queen of Porn, then Tera Patrick is a major Princess.. And a hot one at that.
Fantasy Baseball: I actually have two leagues set up right now. The original is a head to head league that is about half full. So far everyone has picked out a porn chick and incorporated her name into their team name. It should be a fun league. We still have some slots open, so I invite you all to join. It would be nice to have a few companies represented so pick someone from your office to play with us. I have also started up a traditional roto league for those who don’t like the H2H format. Send me an email with “fantasy baseball” in the title and let me know which league you want to join. I’ll send you an invite. Please join ASAP because it would be nice to go ahead and pick a draft date.
Eye Candy: Hot girls are everywhere. Here is Briana Banks pumping gas and a little bit more.
Follow up on Dixie Chicks: And once again I have to explain some things to some people who didn’t get the rant from the other day. Apparently some people still think I have suddenly turned against Nat and the chicks because I don’t like what they have to say about the President, the war or the price of tea in China. First let’s be really clear. I didn’t own a Dixie Chicks CD before the whole mess. I never really liked them. I’m hit and miss on country music and nothing they did ever made me want to buy any of their CDs. I wasn’t shocked or upset when they made their first comments about the war. It’s not celebrities aren’t both entitled to their options and prone to say stupid things. It happens all the time. No big deal, more power to them. My issue with Nat and crew is the way they have nailed themselves to the collective cross and are constantly referred to as First Amendment champions or courageous fighters. I work with people who are actually engaged in a daily fight for First Amendment rights and to compare what the Chicks have gone through to what porn folks deal with is rather insulting. Remember, no Government agency moved to silence Nat and her pals. Not one. They spoke their minds and guess what? Some people got pissed. Over-reaction? Maybe so, but that is the risk you run when you speak out. Then they compounded matters by attacking the very fans who made them millions. One can certainly argue that their lashing out was understandable, but was it smart? Well, it won them plenty of new fans and several awards. Good for them. It’s the constant whining that bugs me. Look, I could decide tomorrow to denounce porn, attack porn fans and rant against everyone who reads this site. It would certainly win me a new audience right away. Certain people would welcome me with open arms and I would be within my rights. But what if I did all that and then went around whining about how porn fans treated me now that I was pissing all over them? That’s what is going on here and it seems far too transparent and calculated to me. It isn’t courageous to say what everyone around is saying. It’s disingenuous and self-congratulatory. By all means, speak your mind, but don’t cry about it if what you have to say offends some people. Don’t run around with your feelings hurt because the people you just insulted don’t want to buy your CDs any more. Hopefully that clears up the confusion that some of you had over the whole rant.
Eye Candy: How can we forget the lovely Janine as we talk about beautiful women.
Sunday? It’s Monday Already: OK, I didn’t get this up on Sunday. I was busy at the breast cancer walk and having some of the best BBQ around before struggling to stay awake through the Oscars. Let’s end this blog and start on a new one shall we?
