The Dude on the Right is still trying to review all of the CD’s he has, and here are a few more. He’s got a great CD of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, done by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, his secretary was mostly worried that GWAR’s CD had giraffes in the lyrics, and he’s sort of sorry for giving the John Scofield CD a lower rating. The Dude on the Right still really doesn’t get jazz.

What’s New? Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up: Lots of Movie Talk, The Dude’s Fly Infestation, and Stu Gets Some Culture.
For this podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up,” there’s a lot of movie talk about The Dude on the Right trying to see four movies over the weekend. The Dude only saw three, thanks to some flies and a girl named Whammy, and only got to review “Clerks II“ so far. Stu, on the other hand, got cultured and got to see two girls getting it on in a park. There was a marriage proposal this weekend, but The Dude still likes all of his stuff, and not just half of it, so he’s not getting married yet.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “Clerks II.”
For this movie review of “Clerks II,” The Dude on the Right loved the movie, but will understand reasons why you might not. In any case he’s giving the movie his highest rating, 5 stars, partly because he sometimes likes the sentimental, understands people have to grow up, and one scene will live in his mind to give him laugh forever. And he also loved Jay’s t-shirt.

You know you want it, and here you got it – another enticing podcast of "Stu &
The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up." Stu gets things going right out of the chute,
asking me about my movie viewing of "My
Super Ex-Girlfriend," "Monster
House," "The
Lady in the Water," ,
and "Clerks
II." Sadly I missed "The Lady in the Water" thanks to a fly
infestation and having dinner with Whammy, but Stu was a little worried that
"Clerks II" only making upwards of $9+ million seemed kind of low, and I’m sure
Kevin Smith
would have loved for it to have made "Pirates‘"
money, but I reassured Stu that most of the movie folks associated with film
were probably pretty happy with the opening. Stu was able to get some
culture over the weekend, seeing "The
Unmentionables" at Chicago’s famed
Steppenwolf Theatre,
and also got to see two girls getting it on at the park.
I do apologize for the slight technical glitch in the podcast, it’s too
difficult to explain, and my niece is back to being my favorite niece. And
lastly, I’m still not getting married anytime soon, because I like all of my
stuff.
Thanks for listening.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Three Movies in Two Days, but Flies and a Dinner Got in the Way. Only “Clerks II” Got Done.
By:
The Dude on the Right
I had a great plan, it was simply to see four movies in two days, those movies
being "Clerks
II," "My
Super Ex-Girlfriend," "Monster
House," and "The
Lady in the Water." In the immortal words of Meat Loaf, no, wait, he
was a little short of this, he only had "Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad." Me,
I had three out of four. But the bad part is this weekend, I was only able
to get one review done, and this might sound weird, but it was because of flies,
and I’ll also blame Whammy, but I suppose, really, it’s not her fault.
Nope, it was my fault asking her if she wanted to see a movie in 3-D with me
losing a couple of hours of valuable reviewing time, stuck at a great Italian
restaurant and great good, with interesting conversation as only Whammy seems to
come up with. In a nutshell, who the hell would try to set her up with a
"Metal-Head" and a hunter?
So this weekend that was supposed to be full of
movie reviews became about trying to see movies, killing a lot of flies, and
having some really good food, although I did get an offer Stu will wonder why I
turned it down. All I got done was one movie review, a lot of flies killed, and this blog.
Dammit, there were a lot of flies. And I still don’t know why.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
What’s New? Missing Carmina Burana, Four Movies in Two Days, Trapped in a Closet, and My Niece Needs Sensitivity Training.
For this podcast, The Dude on the Right is disappointed at missing a classical music concert, is trying to see four movies in two days, laughed during “Trapped in the Closet,” and gets a little teary knowing his niece needs sensitivity training.
Missing Carmina Burana, Four Movies in Two Days, Trapped in a Closet, and My Niece Needs Sensitivity Training.

The Dude on the Right
The last podcast I did solo, well, I tried to keep it under 10 minutes, and came
pretty damn close. I did this specifically at the request of my sister and
my niece. What thanks do I get? – A slam from my niece. That being
written, for this podcast I give you some incite into the world of "Carmina
Burana" from Carl Orff, and discuss my plan for seeing four movies in two days,
namely "My
Super Ex-Girlfriend," "Monster
House," "The
Lady in the Water," (or as Ivan Reitman calls it, "The Chick in the Pool"),
and "Clerks
II." It’s a busy weekend for me. I was also happy to see
Comedy Central
re-run the South Park episode of "Trapped in a Closet" and I give a teary-eyed
discussion about my niece needing sensitivity training.
And if you know the secret to printing a
Google Calendar in
color, in an easy manner, I’ve got a free Entertainment Ave! golf shirt and hat
for you if you’re the first to e-mail that secret to me at
podcast@entertainmentavenue.com.
Thanks for listening.

What’s New? All of The Dude’s CDs: The Who & Corrosion of Conformity.
The Dude on the Right is trying to get back to reviewing all of the CD’s in his CD collection. He has many CDs, but a few reviews already “in the can” as it would be, so he’ll be trying to get them out as quickly as possible. In any case, this time he’s got a review of something from “The Who” and another from “Corrosion of Conformity.”
Our President Might Have Lost a Year’s Pay.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Much of my life is about dilemmas, or at least the dilemmas I personally create
in my life. My latest dilemma is coming up in trying to see four new
movies opening this weekend in a span of two days. If I accomplish this
feat I will have spent a lot of time sitting on my ass between seeing the
movies, driving to the theater, and writing my reviews. Man, my dilemma’s
are tough. But what kind of dilemma would the FCC have found themselves in
if our Congress had passed the original version of the "Broadcast Decency
Enforcement Act," President Bush had signed it, and our networks were covering
said President Bush’s attendance at the G8 summit lunch, live, with his
discussion with British Prime Minister Tony Blair being aired with an open
microphone, and, well, President Bush saying the word "Shit."
The original
version of the "Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act" looked for a two-fold fine –
One against the company who aired it, and the other against the person who said
it. Congress, later, removed the portion fining the individual (although
some companies seem to be trying to make individuals sign agreements saying that
if there is a fine levied, the individual will have to pay the company back, but
that’s another story for another time. I’m sorry, I digress), but Congress did
raise the fine to something like $325,000 with some kind of cap. But if
that original bill went through the process of "I’m just a bill, Yes, I’m only a
bill, and I’m sitting here on Capitol Hill," to "He signed you Bill! Now
you’re a law!", right now The President of the United States should be faced
with a fine nearly wiping out one year of his salary.
For me, I don’t know if
that is irony, or a bummer. I seem to get those things confused ever since
that Alanis Morrisette song, because I think all of her ironies are actually
bummers, but in this case, would the FCC actually, under that original version,
fine "The President of the United States?" The second question is this:
Even if the Big Four Broadcasters, over the open airwaves, namely CBS, ABC, NBC,
and FOX, had been airing that luncheon, live, without delay, because, well, who
would assume that the S-Bomb would be aired at this summit, and they let the
"shit" word fly, would they all be subject to a fine, in all of their markets,
if I set up a campaign of complaints via e-mail?
I’ve written a few blogs
about my thoughts on the FCC and what their role in indecency should be, and my
thought is that they should have no authority over indecency because the
airwaves regulate themselves, via their ratings and their advertisers. But
right now had Congress approved that first proposal, and President Bush signed
it into law, our President might be out nearly a year’s pay.
How fucked up is
that? And do any of our lawmakers actually realize this?

What’s New? Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up: A Song Adds a Star to a Movie Review, Stu Has a Car Question, and a Rumored Frank Sinatra Story.
For this episode of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up,” Stu got to see The Indigo Girls but missed any fun girl-on-girl action. He also went to a wedding with a kick-ass band, but he can’t remember the name of the band. The Dude saw a couple of movies, one he really liked, (You, Me and Dupree) especially with a song played during the film, and another that had more potential than he thinks the film-folks could see (Little Man). The Dude is also looking for someone who knows who gave Ozzie Guillen his sensitivity so he can pass their name over to his sister. Not that his sister needs the training, but maybe someone else in his family.
