Because you know, the Ferguson grand jurors just innately would know that the prosecutor might be presenting false information

via witnesses the prosecution knew were likely lying. Startling Admission By The Ferguson Prosecutor Could Restart The Case Against Darren Wilson

N. Korea suffers massive Internet outages,

One can only wonder what persons, organizations, multinational corporations and/or nation states might have an axe to grind with North Korea. I mean who would do something like disabling a whole country's internet infrastructure?

I love #GreatBadMovies

For example, my favorite great bad movie is #BigTroubleInLittleChina (though liked now, it was a box office bomb and panned when it 1st came out) starring the great Kurt Russell. Just realized I have not watched many great bad Xmas/holiday movies. That will be remedied posthaste. First up Christmas with the Kranks, then Surviving Christmas.

Happy holidays! Picard #StarTrek The Next Generation style

Remember how geeked you were when you 1st saw the #StarWars Phantom Menace trailer? Just saying, let's see the new one before we decide it's great.

Pope believes in evolution & Big Bang theory, also that the earth is not flat or the center of the universe

The first 2 (his beliefs regarding evolution and the Big Bang theory) this current Pope just let us know about as reported by Salon.com.  The last 2 (that the earth isn't flat or the center of the universe) one of his predecessors let us know about, I think in the 1950's.

Thanks for all the support for this blog

but it's obviously been some time since I've posted here regularly. I just cannot seem to find the time or the motivation to make it a priority to post here regularly. Just got busy with other stuff (family, other hobbies, work, etc.). I am not going to pull it down though. I still like going back and looking at older posts. And maybe I will get back into it at some point. And any posts here still go to my twitter feed: @JavGonzoTweets. Also, I will still post about the Texas Rangers at TheTexasRangersBlog.com. Hope all is well. Take it easy. - JG

Am I the only one that is really looking forward to #TheEqualizerMovie? And is it true it's loosely based on the 80's TV show?

I'm going to nerd out here:

Dr. Zola in the new Captain America movie achieved in the 1970's what, according to the previews, Johnny Depp's character in Transcendence achieves in the present day.  Is it weird/bad for the movie Transcendence that the whole, "uploading a consciousness into a computer," thing was just a subplot in Captain America Winter Soldier that fictionally occurred about 40 years ago?  I'm going to say yeah, it is weird/bad for the movie Transcendence. Not only did the writers of the comic book character Dr. Zola beat the Transcendence writers by decades regarding the "uploading a consciousness into a computer," but then the Marvel movie writers did too, and made it a subplot in a movie that came out before Transcendence.  Ouch.

Seeing Carrie Underwood in an NBC produced remake of The Sound of Music sounds as bad as Seeing Carrie Underwood in an NBC produced remake of the Sound of Music.

Movies In Real Life: Indiana Jones & Star Wars, great YouTube series

Yup I Saw the Movie Escape Plan...

...and I bet it's a pretty good bet that's the worst movie of 2013. I knew it'd be bad going in but wow, that was REALLY awful, qualifying it as a great bad movie 

I have so, so, so many questions that I

may have to watch it again when it comes out on cable, such as:

- Did anyone else, based on the previews showing the prison guards in low rent black Star Wars-like storm trooper uniforms, think this thing was going to be set in space and in the future and not set in the present day? And wouldn't that have made it even better/worse?

- Why not use subtitles when Sly and Arnold talk, especially when they're whispering?

- How much screen time was spent on showing Sly and Arnold either just sitting and talking or walking around and talking?

-So if you want to escape from a prison it's going to take about 3-5 prison yard rumbles no matter how secure the prison?

- Actors Sam Neill, Vincent D'Onofrio and Jim Caviezel have fallen so far that these are the best movie roles they can get?  Ouch. 

- That's the best movie role 50 Cent could get?  Ouch. 

- Why did the writers decide to explain apparently huge plot "devices" and/or supposed "twists" in short shots, quick scenes with actors talking quietly and mumbling? 

- Lastly M. Night would have been proud of the big reveal at the end of the movie that left everyone asking, "wait, what, why, what about, but if that's true then, oh never mind, it sucked anyway, I don't care?"

Romeo Rose is awesome...(and by awesome I mean maybe the stupidest terrible person, dumb enough to publish to the world his unbelievably ridiculous thoughts/beliefs; I still am having trouble believing he is a real person.)

The Voyager Probe May Have Left Our Solar System Last Year and Our Neighbors Are Not Happy

Great, hilarious comment to an article explaining that the Voyager probe might have left our solar system last year, making it the first human made object to do so:

ATTENTION RESIDENTS OF EARTH

In accordance with writ number 2.456.70225, you are in violation of the galactic littering ordinance. You are being assessed a fine of approximately 1,200 galatic phoquns. This is approximately equivalent to 9,000 trillion trillion Earth (US region) dollars.

You are given 30 of your days to A) retrieve the litter that has left your star's heliopause and B) Pay the fine in full. Failure to fullfil one or all of your responsibilities may result in planet wide relocation to the prison ring system in the galactic core. Galagov thanks you for your cooperation.
