Built in text message ruin man’s life

Ouch! This Winnipegger got thrown out by his love because of some sultry text messages he didn’t even send; his phone sent them.

This must be like when your phone dials someone while it’s in your pocket. Note to new phone owners, especially those with Virgin Mobile, remove your pre-defined text messages. Also, this says a lot about what market Virgin Mobile is targeting: booty call?

Wall Street II

Twenty three years later, Gordon Gekko is released from prison.

I’m not a fan of sequels but when they’re presented in true time, it’s pretty neat.

Fight Club revisited

A certain favourite movie of mine is Fight Club, based on the book by Chuck Palahniuk. The movie was directed by David Fincher, music performed by the Dust Brothers and starred Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. In that order, I have praise for them all.

On so many levels I like this movie, and maybe that’s an ironic statement considering (if you’ve seen the movie). If you have not seen the movie, watch it. Otherwise, check out this very cool fanvid featuring the apt song “Becoming Insane” by Infected Mushroom.
