For this movie review of “The Marine,” The Dude on the Right found it hard to believe he would say something like “sometimes you can blow up too much stuff.” He did like “The Terminator” reference, though.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “Man of the Year.”
For this review of “Man of the Year,” The Dude on the Right loved the first half. The second half, not so much. He wonders, sometimes, why film folks can’t just seem to stick with what is working and instead they try to get serious.
What’s New? A Podcast of: “Dancing with the Stars,” “30 Rock,” Learning to Fly, and do I try to be a Loser in Public?
For this podcast, The Dude on the Right settles into his television viewing while both he and his mom wish Jerry Springer would quit “Dancing with the Stars.” The Dude also wonders what some critics saw in “30 Rock,” and ponders a dilemma about public weight loss.
“Dancing with the Stars,” “30 Rock,” Learning to Fly, and do I try to be a Loser in Public?
By:
The Dude on the Right
My television viewing is moving into high gear as I start to put names with the
faces of the folks on my favorite reality shows, with "Dancing with the Stars"
being the first to break into this realm. Sadly, for both me and my mom,
Jerry Springer is still dancing. I also discuss, a little, my thoughts on
"30 Rock," and even though it makes me sad to have heard about the plane crash
involving Cory Lidle in New York yesterday, I still would love to learn to fly a
plane.
But the biggest dilemma I am facing right now is do I make my next weight
loss try public.
Thanks always for visiting, and thanks for listening.

City Hall Follies Turned into “Dancing with the Stars.”
By:
The Dude on the Right
I was going to do a blog about my dealings at City Hall today for a client, but
instead, I got wrapped up into replaying "Dancing
with the Stars" and as the number of contestants is diminishing, I’m
starting to care a little more about who stays and who goes. My synopsis
from last night:
- Joey Lawrence: I am now a huge fan of Joey’s. That’s
right, I want Joey to stick around for a while. Why? Because his
dance partner, Edyta Sliwinska is hot and wears some of the greatest
outfits. And she’s Polish. I’m not sure how well Joey dances,
although they get high scores, but she moves very nicely and shows a lot of
skin. - Willa Ford: I know she is quickly becoming a fan of the
judges, but I’m not that taken in with her, although she does have nice gams. - Sara Evans: I’ve been a stalker of Sara’s since the
beginning of her country singing days, and the only problem I have had with
her for some of these dances is her hair. I’ve always been a fan of
the straight hair, but thought she lost some of her beauty with the curly
hair. I think she dances fine, has a killer smile, but had the worst
outfit last night. - Mario Lopez: I’m sure you ladies find him dreamy, and the
judges seem to think he dances well, but I don’t find his partner nearly as
hot as Edyta, so he’s got to go! - Jerry Springer: Sure, he’s the goofball of the competition,
and his partner, Kym Johnson is cute as hell, but I’m tired of him and his
constant touting that he’s really a swell guy, not the guy running "The
Jerry Springer Show." He was kind of funny last night with his line
about getting the prison wardens to let his "audience" call in and vote for
him, but it’s time for him to go. - Monique: She does nothing for me but is a great dancer.
She’s cuter than Mario Lopez, so I’m hoping she stays and he goes. - Emmitt Smith: He’s smooth on his feet and seems to be
having a butt-load of fun, so I say keep him around a couple of more weeks.
We’ll see how the voting goes tonight, but if I’m getting rid of anyone
right now it’s Mario Lopez that has to go. I’d say Jerry Springer, but
I think he’s got the hotter dancing partner.
I’ve got to finish this up so
I can catch the premiere of "30 Rock," find out who gets booted from
"Dancing with the Stars," and then decide whether I watch "The Biggest
Loser" or "Lost" tonight while things catch up on my TiVo. Too much
TV, so little time.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
What’s New? Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up: The Dude Hates Stu, Stu Watches Meerkat Manor, Stu Went to a Reunion, and The Dude Found Heaven.
For this podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up,” Stu Gotz gets The Dude on the Right sucked into more TV shows, but so far The Dude is able to repress the urge to watch “Meerkat Manor.” Meanwhile, Stu got to see drunk people at a reunion while The Dude, in addition to seeing a movie and watching The Chicago Bears, found heaven. Sort of.
Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up: The Dude Hates Stu, Stu Watches Meerkat Manor, Stu Went to a Reunion, and The Dude Found Heaven.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Stu Gotz joins me for our weekly weekend wrap-up, and I kick off the podcast
telling Stu why I hate him because he got me sucked back into watching "Battlestar
Gallactica," and now he is trying to get me sucked into watching "Meerkat
Manor." I explain to Stu my thought process of catching "Employee
of the Month" over "The Departed," and how I found heaven instead of Mother
Nature. Stu lets me know he sometimes hates engineers, and how his wife’s
high school reunion folks don’t seem to remember how to party. It was also
a football weekend for me, while Stu cut the lawn. Gosh, we are so
exciting.
Thanks always for visiting, and thanks for listening.

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Employee of the Month.”
For this movie review of “Employee of the Month,” The Dude on the Right thinks he should have opted for hanging out with Mother Nature for an hour and a half rather than seeing this movie. It’s better for a DVD or cable viewing on a snowy evening when you’re stuck in your pad. But he did laugh, and like Joe Simpson, does like Jessica’s boobs.
Hating Stu Gotz, Fry’s or Mother Nature, The Chicago Bears or Getting Stuff Done.
By:
The Dude on the Right
I have to start out this blog by simply saying that I hate Stu Gotz. Fine,
maybe it is really Mama Gotz whom I hate, because she first suggested this, but
Stu brought up something in the last couple of weeks that right now, well, it’s
the last damn thing I need. Hopefully I’ll remember to have it out with
Stu on Monday when we do our Weekend Wrap-Up and let the world know why I now
hate Stu Gotz.
But I did find something I love today, and it was in a quest
for a telephone that I found it, and that is the store Fry’s Electronics, or
Fry’s, or whatever the hell it is really called. All I know is I planned
on going for a walk today, on a warm, fall day, in the Forest Preserve near the
Dude-Pad, where the fall weather is bringing beautiful colors to the leaves, but
instead I found myself in a different kind of heaven, where I was able to find a
battery for the stylus of my Palm Pilot, a new phone for a client, the DVD of "Thank
You for Smoking," and had I already won the McDonald’s Monopoly game, there
would have been a whole lot of more spendin’ going on. But I held back,
didn’t buy the HD TV I’ve been looking for, nor the combination bread-bagel
toaster that also cooks an egg, nor the refrigerator with the TV in it, nor the
CB antenna that I don’t really need right now, but as my Dad always says, "It’s
better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it." Fry’s is
a store all about that quote.
Oddly enough going to Fry’s and walking around
for over an hour went totally against my movie viewing, although I did get the
exercise I wanted. Heading to the theater this morning I intended to see "The
Departed," you know, the Martin Scorsese flick which is getting a lot of
critical acclaim, but the running time was over two hours. This being one
of the last, warmer weekends here in Dude-Town, I said to myself, "Self, what a
waste to spend so much time in a movie theater when you could be out enjoying
Mother Nature!" So I opted to see "Employee of the Month" today to cut my
time stuck indoors. Then I went to Fry’s and spent the afternoon, well,
you get the point. So much for Mother Nature, but I did see some fantastic
TVs that would look great in my living room, or my bedroom, or my office, oh
hell, they’ve got a butt-load of TV’s for every room, and some of them even had
Mother Nature scenes playing, so my getting out in the open air wasn’t a total
loss, even without seeing the beautiful colors of the leaves.
Now, as much as
my screwing up seeing Mother Nature today happened, tomorrow brings future
dilemmas because I am behind on my animating of our next episode of "Stu & The
Dude Reviewin’ the Movies for You," that being "Jackass Number Two," would like
to see "The Departed" and write a review for that movie, have seen "Employee of
the Month" and have to write a review for it, have a good twenty movie previews
to type, want to review the new X-Men DVD I have and the "Thank You for Smoking"
DVD I picked up today, and the Dude-Pad could really use a good, fall, cleaning
to get me to spring. And to top it all off, The Chicago Bears play
tomorrow, trying to keep their undefeated season in tact, and to top it on top
of that, I still need to catch last week’s episode of "The Biggest Loser" which
might hopefully get me inspired to quit playing the McDonald’s Monopoly game.
So many things to do, and there never seems to be enough time, and with tomorrow
being probably one of the last, nice, weekend days to get out of the house, how
the hell do I figure out what to do? It was easy in college, we would just
go up on the roof and get a suntan and drink maybe one or two beers. It
sucks being older.
And to top all of that I had a dream the other night
involving a good friend of mine whom I’ve known for just about forever, where in
the dream she kept kicking me in the ass to get shit done that I haven’t gotten
done yet. I suppose I should just listen to her and get shit done and quit complaining about it.
This Dude’s life is so complicated.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
What’s New? A Concert Review of Roger Waters.
For this concert review of Roger Waters, here in 2006, The Dude on the Right blames himself for not seeing Roger earlier. He also wonders if Roger Waters gets in trouble for the Pig getting loose, wishes he could have tracked the Pig and put it up on Ebay, and doesn’t mind Roger getting political. In the end, the music makes him forget about those things.
