Superbowl XLII And A Few Others

So, first of all, Superbowl XLII gets a whopping 9 Beards from me because it was probably the best one I've seen in a while. Both teams played their best, and never gave up, and the 4th quarter was probably one of the most exciting I've seen in professional football. I didn't even really care about either team and I was still on the edge of my seat. And by the edge of my seat I mean I was pacing around the room trying not to throw up. So, yeah, it was awesome.

The first half had some pretty excellent commercials too. The Bud Light Breathing Fire commercial was pretty funny, along with the Doritos Mouse Trap commercial. The screaming animals tire/car commercial gets an honorable mention as well. On the whole I'll give the commercials about 3 Beards and A Moustache because a) the 2nd half was pretty weak and b) they're commercials.

Now, on to two points completely unrelated to the Superbowl.

1) I disagree with Randy. I believe that corn bread definitely needs to be moist, because dry corn bread sucks the big one, right along with sucking all the moisture out of my mouth. I had originally told him I only liked sweet cornbread, but I've realized thats not true either. What IS true is that about 50% of the time when I find cornbread to eat an establishment (resteraunt, buffet, side of the road, etc.) it is wholly unsatisfying. Therefore Good Cornbread gets 5 Beards while Bad Cornbread gets 1 Beard.

2) I agree with Randy on his rating of Hard Candy. The movie was excellently put together on a tight budget, with excellent use of camera, color, and nice acting from the two mains. I definitely recommend it, but not by yourself, and plan to go do something fun outside afterwards,
