Well, guess what! We don’t play hard to get at The Life of Leisure. Today is your lucky day. I’ve got stuff for you to look at. You may be asking yourself, “Well, what’s the catch?!”. There’s no catch, baby. I just glad that you stopped by the... chuck 2008-02-09T21:49:21-06:00 http://chuck.f2o.org/2008/02/the_ten_movie_review/ I love just about anything that comes from people involved with the comedy troupe, The State (of ’90s MTV series fame) including stuff like Reno 911, Stella and Wet Hot American Summer. I know this type of comedy isn’t for everyone, but if you dig absurd humor, you’ll want to catch The Ten ASAP. It’s ten short stories, each one... chuck 2008-02-07T20:07:21-06:00 http://chuck.f2o.org/2008/02/working_from_home/ Crummy weather has kept me out of the office today. I’m working from home today which means making calls to follow up on things, sending a few work related e-mails and watching You Tube videos on my laptop. Speaking of which, here’s my new favorite.... chuck 2008-02-06T09:29:31-06:00 http://chuck.f2o.org/2008/02/stallones_death_wish_remake/ I saw this story a few weeks ago, and was a little worried about what Sylvester Stallone would do to Death Wish. I’m usually not a huge fan of remakes. Rarely are they an improvement to the original. In the case of Death Wish, it’s hard to imagine a remake even being of equal quality. The recent Rambo movie delivered... chuck 2008-02-06T07:38:20-06:00 http://chuck.f2o.org/2008/02/the_best_super_bowl_commercials_2008/ The best commercials that ran during the Super Bowl this year (according to me) were: Planters - the woman with the unibrow turns heads t-mobile - Barkley/Wade Amped - jumper cables FedEx - Pigeons theantidrug.com - Parents.... chuck 2008-02-03T20:49:27-06:00 http://chuck.f2o.org/2008/02/body_worlds_at_the_milwaukee_public_museum/ Connie was itching to see the new Body Worlds exhibit at the museum, so we went yesterday. The exhibit costs $12 in addition to the museum’s regular admission cost, and is completely worth it. It’s fascinating stuff. You get an up close look at all of the muscles, organs, nerves, etc. They even have lungs, livers and other body parts... chuck 2008-02-03T17:03:51-06:00 http://chuck.f2o.org/2008/02/2008_super_bowl/ I’ll take the Giants and the 12.5 points.... chuck 2008-02-03T17:02:37-06:00 http://chuck.f2o.org/2008/01/chucks_new_favorite_things_12808/ The new Gnarls Barkley tune My new headphones - Creative Earphones’ EP-630 - Incredible bass from an earbud This picture from the new Rambo movie.... chuck 2008-01-28T20:07:21-06:00 http://chuck.f2o.org/2008/01/u2_3d/ I was talking with Tony over lunch today about how great digital 3D is. We agreed that Beowulf in 3D was impressive to say the least. Marcus’ Ridge Cinema in New Berlin is the only theater in the area that’s set up to run digital 3D. Their next feature that uses the technology, U2 3D opens there on February 15th.... chuck 2008-01-25T22:48:54-06:00 http://chuck.f2o.org/2008/01/black_mirror/ For Bryan, Les and all of the other Arcade Fire fans out there, here’s a link to their new video for Black Mirror.

Unfortunately if you want to buy a $42.50 ticket for the Boss’ show at Veterans Park, you’ll have to shell out $65 for a two day pass to the celebration that precedes it at the Summerfest grounds.

All I gathered from it was that something wreaks havoc in New York City. What ever it is rips the head off of the Statue of Liberty in the preview. It looked interesting. As months past I was vaguely aware that it was building a lot... chuck 2008-01-19T14:49:32-06:00
