Movie review: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

I watched this movie knowing that it would be sad I guess. I mean, this lady's (Frances McDormand) daughter dies so she rents three billboards with messages directed at William Willoughby (Woody Harrelson), the town's police chief. Chief Willoughby is a good guy who just has not been able to solve the case. Yet she won't be having that. Her billboards' message to the chief is: do your job and catch the killer already. The second-in-command Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell) is a real a-hole and causes all sorts of trouble. He is also an idiot and a stain on the police force.

Yeah, I knew the lady would be sad but I expected this to be more of a crime thriller. Instead, this movie is full of unhappy people who are full of remorse, racism, and stupidity. There are f-bombs throughout this one as well so put the kids to bed before watching.

It was a good movie I suppose...just not what I expected. Check it out.

Male logic joke

*This is a story which is perfectly logical to all males:* A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6." A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?" He replied, "They had eggs."

Earth's wobble causes global warming

As the carbon dioxide management bill - aka cap and trade - looms in Congress, a new study from Oregon State University emerges that ends the scientific debate on the central causes of ice ages and warming periods on Earth. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is fond of saying that the scientific debate on global warming is over - and while he may now be correct in the fact that a debate has come to an end, the central cause behind climate change does not support the carbon cap legislation that is being cobbled together by Mr. Gore and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Congress.
