Danica, Tetris Movie, The Real Jessica Rabbit, Gordon Lee Case, and Moon Bloodgood

Danica Patrick Victory - After four years of racing, the lovely and advertising friendly Danica Patrick finally took first place in an IndyCar race, making her the first female ever to do so. She achieved the victory Saturday in the Indy Japan 300. I congratulate her but I can't help but wonder if she had not been so beautiful, would she had really been given the opportunity to begin with and 4 years to do what most racers are expected to do at least once a year?

Tetris The Movie - A fan made trailer that is actually well done and a bit unique take on how a movie could be done on the legendary game.

The Real Jessica Rabbit - A view of what Jessica Rabbit would look like if she was realistically rendered. The result is an image that is both sexy and disturbing at the same time.

Gordon Lee Case Dismissed - After 4 years, thousands and thousands of tax payers dollars wasted, the comic book related case against Gordon Lee has been dismissed. Click the link for a history but suffice it to say the case is basically the result of the Rome, GA district attorney Leigh Patterson trying to kow tow to his constituents by pretending to be tough on crimes that might harm minors and then turned into a legal clusterf$#@ of mistakes that included misconduct on the part of his office. Since it’s an election year for Patterson and misconduct charges would have damaged his chances of re-election, it’s no surprise of why it was dropped. If I was a resident of Rome GA, my question would be if this case was so important as to waste my tax dollars, why did he let a little threat like that deter is quest for justice...unless justice had nothing to do with the case. The man is unfit to be DA and I hope (but doubt) that he will lose the election.

Moon Bloodgood Joins Terminator - A personal crush of mine, Moon Bloodgood, has joined the planned Terminator Salvation movie. She recently came from the cancelled but excellent Journeyman. Her role will be a battle-hardened resistance fighter along with the rest of cast. Probably becomes a love interest for one of them, I assume John Connor. With her involvement, my interest in this movie went up a few notches.
