Chicago thinks about criminalizing small plastic bags
The asinine war on drugs marches on. Criminalizing the bag part of the “dimebag” and forcing dealers to use larger ziplocs is sure to eat into profit margins and force dealers out of business. The proposal to ban bags smaller than 2” on a side will just mean they start using bags that are 2.1” on a side. Then they’ll ban bags smaller than 3” and the cycle will continue ad nauseum until Chicago ends up banning 40 gallon garbage bags.

I think we’re going to have to face reality and admit that it’s time to cut Ace’s hair.

Sad, but usually true. You wouldn’t give a drink to an alcoholic would you? Don’t give a vote to a powerholic.

Quick movie rundown

Since I was sick and spent all of last weekend inside, I managed to watch a lot of movies. Here’s the low-down:

  • Sunshine - Entertaining plot, even though the events were predictable to anyone moderately well read in modern science fiction. I don’t know why the director needed to obscure the antogonist with blurry, annoying camera effects.
  • The Fog (2005) - Absolutely horrible. Took everything great about the 1980 original and threw it away. This would have made an average Sci-fi Channel movie.
  • Lady in the Water - I tend to like M. Night Shyamalan movies, but this one had me scratching my head at the end thinking “What was that all about?”
  • Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia) - Jet Li kung-fu action. Hard to go wrong.
  • I Am Legend - I give it a thumbs up for Will Smith not saying “Aww hell naw!” at any point during the film. Thumbs down for feeling too short and for not following what the book meant by “legend”.
  • 30 Day of Night - Best vampire movie I’ve seen in a long time. Made me want to check out the comic books it was based on.
