What’s New? A Movie Review of “Mamma Mia!”

Writer’s
block, a brain cramp, or maybe it’s just that the sweet words of greatness just
don’t want to flow from The Dude on the Right’s brain to his fingertips to
relate how, in a different way from his love of

"Iron Man," "The Dark Knight" will be only the second movie, so far, of
2008, that he will give a 5 star rating. But, somehow, and maybe it is the music
of ABBA stuck in his head, well, The Dude finds a way to say that he didn’t like

the movie version of "Mamma Mia!" during his review and wondered why Pierce
Brosnan was cast, even if it did make him laugh.

The thing is, do you really care what The Dude on the Right thought about the
Batman flick, "The Dark Knight?" From the box office numbers it looks like most
of you already have seen it. Now you will know if you should go and see "Mamma
Mia!"

What’s New? A Podcast of: Technology Sucks, No WGN, iPhone Schematic Requests, and a Cowbell.

The Dude on the Right has internet issues so he told The WGN to be patient and
wait until next week to do a podcast.  But internet issues won’t keep a
good Dude down, so he recorded a quick podcast about "Batman: The Dark Knight," with Heath
Ledger, his need for some iPhone schematics, and how having a cowbell on his
iPhone just makes him smile.  Do you have a "cowbell" on your cell phone? 
Good luck with that!

What’s New? Movie Previews Galore, or at Least a Few.

By:

The Dude on the Right
So as I’m looking to get back into the swing of posting, and not feeling totally
creative, I realized I had a batch of
Movie
Previews already written.  So, this evening, well, it was all about
getting previews of movies like "Swing
Vote," "Bangkok
Dangerous," "Pineapple
Express," "Henry
Poole is Here," "The
Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," "The
House Bunny," and "My
Best Friend’s Girl," among others, up and integrated into the website for
your perusal, or at least to help you to find their official sites.

Happy
perusalling!

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

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! The BFF Meets the Family, Lots of TV Talk, and an iPhone Update.

The Dude on the Right took his BFF to visit some of his family in the old country, while Stu Gotz missed a Cubs’ game, and those are just some of the topics they both cover in
this podcast of
“Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!”

Sure, they also talk about miniature golf, give
a shout for The Dude’s mom to "Get well soon," the uber-coolness of the iPhone
update, and The Dude is psyched to see "The Dark Knight," but let’s not forget
Stu’s love of "Burn Notice," SCUBA, and the younger Gotz’s love of "Mr. Men." 
Now if only The Dude would have talked about his and his BFF’s lottery winnings,
well, this podcast might be complete, but that might just have to wait for The
Dude chatting with The WGN, and explaining to said The WGN why opening car doors
for girls could be fixed by more-advanced, door-unlocker key fobs.

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! “Hancock,” Fireworks, Cars, Church, and More!

The Dude on the Right and Stu Gotz survived the 4th of July weekend with all of their appendages attached, but more surprising was the fact that The Dude didn’t get struck down by lightning as he entered a church with his BFF, especially since The Dude, at times, wondered more about what the sensors were at the top of the ceiling and why parents let their kids wear street clothes to mass, as opposed to focusing on what was really a nice homily, about an “e-mail” from God. This podcast, though, of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!“ isn’t all about fire and brimstone, or at least fireworks and religion, the boys also talk about cars, “Hancock,” “Nancy Drew,” Pringles, and some upcoming nuptials. The Dude also sends “Get Well Soon” wishes to his Mom.

What’s New? A Movie Review of: “Hancock.”

As The Dude on the Right is a tad worried what Stu Gotz will say when he
reveals something that happened over The Dude’s 4th of July weekend during their
next podcast, and The Dude is also a little more worried about some happenings
in the Old Country, he figured out a way

to review the movie "Hancock," even though, if you have an 8-year old
and you took him to see the movie, The Dude’s review might be a little too late
because now, your 8-year old, probably, totally, loves the word "Asshole."

Happy movie-going!

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! RV-ing, Penn & Teller, Movie Talk, Toilet Paper, and More!

Some travel issues delayed Stu Gotz getting back in town so

the podcast of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" was a day late, and even
with some extra time, well, The Dude on the Right screwed up the opening. 
But that’s okay because they have lots to talk about, including some movie talk
about "Wanted," "Wall-E," "Presto," and "Letters from Iwo Jima."  The Dude
relates to Stu that he really should get Showtime so he could see "Penn &
Teller: Bullshit," and Stu should also get Sirius Satellite Radio so he could
hear ABBA, 24/7, for a couple of weeks.  Stu, on the other hand, relates
his woes of toilet paper at airports.  They both talk about a fight at the
Cubs/White Sox Crosstown Classic, they talk about tattoos, and with the 4th of
July weekend coming up, they talk about how it looks like The Dude’s BFF still
won’t get to meet any of The Dude’s friends, even with the lure of REO
Speedwagon.

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Wall-E.”

The Dude on the Right is probably one of the few reviewers in the world that didn’t like
“Wall-E” that much, and for his review, well, he can’t even justify it. He blames the lack of dialogue; He blames his own PMS; He
even blames a dude sitting a couple seats away from him. What he doesn’t blame, though, might be his own lack of just being able to envelop himself in a movie where, a lot of the time, only the eyes of the characters tell the feelings. The Dude might just need new contact lenses.

What’s New? Movie Reviews of “Get Smart” and “Wanted.”

The
Dude on the Right was a little lax in getting his
review of "Get Smart" posted, but it is now here for your reading
pleasure, and The Dude recommends that if you don’t want to be in a movie
theater filled with little kids, and hate gratuitous violence, maybe "Get Smart"
might be a good matinee for you and your lady to see over the weekend.  The
Dude also saw
"Wanted,"
and that review is also posted, and if you want to be in a movie theater
with no little kids and seeing a movie with tons of gratuitous violence,
Angelina Jolie’s butt, and physics be damned, enjoy the ludicrousness that is
"Wanted."

What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Computer Issues, Movie Talk, The Rest of the Family, and Remembering George Carlin

The Dude on the Right and Stu Gotz both had computer issues for this podcast, which they, sadly, reiterate in way too much detail, before they get to the fun stuff like Mama Gotz being pissed at The Dude for recommending “No Country For Old Men” to Stu, Stu wondering if there is any way he can now get free stuff from Apple since his shipment is late, The Dude meeting the rest of the family of his BFF, and both of them remembering George Carlin, with his “Seven Dirty Words” historical rant and “The Buddy Christ.” In the end, George Carlin, R.I.P., or the hell with that, The Dude just hopes Mr. Carlin can make everyone laugh in the afterlife because it is what he does, did, and should be doing for ever, more.
