Why do eject buttons always go under the CD/DVD tray? When opening the tray you usually have to hit the button and move your hand so it’s not in the way, and then when the tray is open you can’t see it and have to bend under the tray to closeit. What kind of crap is that?

This has been bugging me for years.

55 minutes into the movie our protagonist spots the cops and guns it. Everything up to that point serves only to justify the 40 minute car chase that ensues.

Written, produced, directed, choreographed and performed by H.B. Halicki, also known as “the Car Crash King”.

You can find clips of the chase on YouTube, but I recommend picking up the DVD and watching it in decent quality.

I know because one of the little fatties found it’s way into my kitchen, which of course drove the cats bonkers. It stumbled through the air between the window and the overhead light for an hour or so while I cautiously tried to catch it in a glass so I could re-integrate it into the wild like the caring liberal that I am. Eventually it bumped into the cabinets and basically fell out of the air, making it easier to catch on the ground.

Clumsy bumble.

Now that I think about it, it must be hard to be a fat little mockery of a honey bee with undersized wings. Isn’t that what they are really? Bumbles can sting, but I think it’s uncommon, and they’re fuzzier than honey bees, which makes it look like someone’s 8 year old kid sister saw a bee and decided to cuten it up a bit. “I want him fat and soft, and shrink his wings because they make him harder to hug, and no stinging!”

I imagine early bumbles looked like this:

Somehow I can’t find a t-shirt that just says “NERD ALERT” in big red letters.

It’s the sort of thing you’d expect to be readily available.

I’ve always enjoyed his work but this is one of those less common cases where I’m actually a fan of the person too (at least after watching this).
