Drowning, Natalie Portman, Inventing, and a Nephew Dilemma.

By:

The Dude on the Right
This podcast entry is all about dilemmas.  So I’m working on getting this
podcast posted before "American Idol" starts, I get the audio portion uploaded,
and then my cell phone starts singing "Margaritaville" to me.  Since most
of my friends have their own song on my cell phone, I know it’s
Trash. 
As much as my podcast dilemmas are waiting for the world to hear, I now had
another one:  Do I take the call and maybe have to go back and catch up
with "American Idol" and get this posted, or Do I let the call go to voice-mail
and talk to her later?  An hour and some change later, here I am, catching
up with tonight’s "American Idol" episode, of which I see my Mom has already
e-mailed me her comments, and working now to get this podcast posted while
watching my singers try to belt out Elvis tunes.

In the end, her call led to a
larger intro paragraph rather than "I have some dilemmas with this podcast. 
Please listen and give me your opinion!", and I haven’t talked to Trash in quite
a while, so it was good to hear from her.  I just have to remind her of my
TV viewing schedule, and I still can’t believe I gave up, live, "American Idol"
for her.  Oh well.

So, this podcast has topics like my waiting for a
phone call from Natalie Portman, drowning in water, doing some inventing for a "phoner"
podcast, and most importantly, and this is where I need your help, what the hell
am I supposed to do about my nephew?  It’s a problem many Uncles might
have, but I need your advice.

Thanks for listening, and I really welcome your
advice on this matter.  It’s a matter most of us uncles have with our
nephews, and our nieces, so please, let me know what to do.

That’s it for this one!  I’m The Dude on the Right!!  L8R!!!

Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, Mia Hamm, and Wynona Ryder. They All Have Something in Common.

Here in Chicagoland this weekend, we had some fabulous weather.  Saturday
was just a tad cool, but today, Sunday, it was a perfect spring day.  So my
choices of the morning were "It’s a beautiful day!  I know what I should
do, I should sit in a movie theater for a couple of hours!  That would be a
great way to enjoy the weather!" or "It’s a beautiful day!  I know what I
should do, I should get out, maybe take a nice walk and smell the flowers! 
That would be a great way to enjoy the weather!"  Well there wasn’t any
flower-smelling, but I skipped the movies (my choices were "United 93" or
"Friends With Money") and did get to enjoy the weather a bit.  But there
was still some work to do, namely finishing our latest episode of "Stu & The
Dude Reviewin’ the Movies for You!" where we did some talk about Tom Cruise and
"Mission:
Impossible III."  That’s posted for your viewing pleasure.

As nice a
day today was, my weekend started out in fabulous fashion.  I decided to
figure out who my "Celebrity
Love Match" was, and I was very much pleased at the women who would love me. 
At the top of the list was Natalie Portman, followed by Angelina Jolie, Mia
Hamm, and Wynona Ryder.  I have to say that I find all of those dudettes great and I was pretty excited, waiting for them all to fight over me, until I thought about this a
little bit.  Natalie Portman is a reported vegetarian, so I’m wondering
what she would think about my propensity for a decent porterhouse steak once in
a while.  I have no idea how Angelina Jolie ended up as a match, although
maybe since she’s a mom now, well, she wouldn’t try to have me carry around a
little vile of her blood.  I’m thinking Mia Hamm really wouldn’t be too
proud of my work-out schedule, and being Catholic, would I have to convert to
Judaism for Wynona?  I was supposed to try and work on some movie previews
this week, but I think most of my week might be spent trying to track down the
new love’s of my life.  I just hope that by the time I find Angelina she’s
already had the baby and has any extra pounds she might have put on worked off. 
Oh, and I hope she has her eyesight back because who knows what she sees in that
Brad Pitt dude.  Just look at the size of my hands and feet!

That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

What’s New? Stu & The Dude Reviewin’ the Movies for You! Mission: Impossible III

For this episode of “Stu & The Dude Reviewin’ the Movies for You!,” “South Park” fans called for a boycott of all things Tom Cruise, but one of the reviewers just couldn’t resist the pull of Tom Cruise and gave “Mission: Impossible III” 3 out of 5 stars.

Episode 5: Mission: Impossible III

By:

Tom Cruise is
back as Ethan Hunt in the action-packed "Mission:
Impossible III."  But there is a dilemma for "South
Park" fans, of which Stu and I are, especially those believing the internet
rumor that Mr. Cruise had the "In The Closet" episode pulled from "Comedy
Central."  Cruise’s folks, as well as the "Comedy Central," folks denied
this, but the "South Park" fans called for a boycott of all things Tom Cruise. 
And that meant boycotting "M: i: III."

Anyway, for this episode, Stu and I do some Tom Cruise movie role
reminiscing, and we originally agreed to boycott the movie.  Me, though, I
give the movie 3 stars out of 5.

Thanks for watching, and we welcome your comments.

What’s New? The Dude on the Right’s “American Idol” Re-Cap, and You Thought You Had Weight to Lose?

For this podcast, The Dude on the Right gives his re-cap of the “American Idol” performances from Tuesday. He still thinks Katharine smiles too much and should remember to keep her facial expressions with the theme of the song. He also talks about a story about a man who needs to lose a hell of a lot more weight than you do.

The Dude on the Right’s “American Idol” Re-Cap, and You Thought You Had Weight to Lose?

I’m torn with the last batch of contestants for "American Idol."  I still
think Katherine is a great singer and has a "couple" of decent "Idol" assets,
but she smiles too much when she is singing, when it isn’t appropriate (like
during the Phil Collins song "Against All Odds."  It’s not a happy song, no
smiling should happen, but she never seems to be able to stay with the attitude
of the song, especially when the boom camera heads in for a close-up).  Chris, though, for me, it seems that he has lost his
realization of who the audience is that is watching this show.  And enough
giving up other parts of my podcast, just listen to the damn thing, please.

But "American Idol" aside, if you think you’ve got weight to lose, you’ve got to
listen to the story of a man in Mexico I talk about.

Thanks for listening.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up: Seeing Movies and The Dude is in a Lot of Hot Water.

By:

The Dude on the Right
The "Stu & The Dude Weekend Wrap-Up" is back!  Yes, sir, re, Bob!  It
is back!  I know I’m excited, and hopefully you are too!  Stu and I
talk about "Stick
It," "RV,"
and why I missed "United 93."  I also dig myself a deeper hole with my
sister, so let me just say it now, "Sis, I apologize.  Maybe I’ll try to
meet up with you when you are visiting the old country, and I’ll bring the
mobile podcast studio so you can re-butt.  He he, I wrote ‘butt.’" 
Anyway, apologies aside, Stu wonders what was wrong with
Mandy Moore’s
look in "American Dreamz," and while I was seeing movies he got to be
entertained by seeing "Elmo’s
Coloring Book."  He’s a lucky man.

I better just stop commenting now
before I did an even deeper hole with my sister.

Thanks for listening.
