My favorite part of Snakes on a Plane: there’s a scene where Samuel L.  starts his “we all have to get together” speech - you know the kind - rah, rah - Knute Rocke type of thing, at which point I turn to Kristen and say “here comes the shark!”  Kristen calmly says “wrong movie [...]

(All the good titles are gone - Snakes on a Blog, taken. Twists on the title are so April.)
Kristen and I saw the much hyped Snakes on a Plane Saturday night. Expecting huge crowds, we stopped by the theater early to grab tickets, so imagine my surprise when we arrive and the show is [...]

Live free or Die Hard!

In: Movies

I know that I lamented a couple of weeks ago the utter crap that the movie Die Hard is responsible for bringing to the movie watching public, but I still love the movies - all three and am cautiously optimistic about the apparent number four on the way.
With that in mind, you must check out [...]

The 1:30 A.M. Blog

In: Movies

Just finished watching Air Force One - and all I have to say is Die Hard is responsible for so many bad movies: this one plus, Passenger 57, Under Siege, XXX: State of the Union, Speed, Last Boy Scout etc. etc.

NO MORE CRUISE!

In: Movies, Religion

I know I’m a little late - but now I’m on board - no more Tom Cruise for me. The boycott has started. Now that’s a little like swearing off a nail in the head, but he has gotten my money in the past - no more. If last year wasn’t [...]

About this blog

Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.
