quick hits

1. two posts ago i told everyone to go see the new ricky gervais movie, 'the invention of lying.' then, in my last post i ranted about people being offended and that they shouldnt be unless they have grounds to be or 'standing.' (btw, i realize the post has a lot of holes and inconsistencies. it was more of a ramble instead of a well thought out rant. oh well). well apparently, as mentioned by paige in the comments, early reviews indicate that the movie has quite a bit of religious commentary. i told all my readers, who i think are mostly religious, though i dont know, to see a movie that pokes at religion, something that they all have standing to be offended with. not sure what you call that. unintentional?

2. something i have watched and so i do feel comfortable promoting it, is the tv show 'community.' its on nbc. not better than 30 rock, but way better than the office. the office is boring. the jokes are hardly inspired. they are running off of past popularity. not sure if they are even trying anymore or if they just dont have it. 'community' does have it though. good timing. clever jokes that actually make you laugh. community is like the young player that just broke into the big leagues and is trying to stay on the team and show everyone that he is good and deserves to be there. he has talent, but more importantly, he really tries hard. unlike the seasoned veteran the office that is just there to pick up the check. speaking of sports and young players:
