Don't Rain On My Parade...

Don't Rain On My Parade...

Ever hear the phrase “Don’t rain on my parade?” Why parade? Why not, barbeque, or I dunno….Rodeo? Or, Outdoor N*Sync concert?

I don’t even LIKE parades first of all, so why would I want it to not rain? I mean all that a parade is a bunch of cars and people walking by waving and honking their horns, advertising something of some sort or promoting someone or something.
If I want to see moving ads, I can just stay home, sit down, and watch T.V. Problem solved! So next time someone says to me “don’t rain on my parade!” I’ll say “Fine, I’ll go rain on your T.V”


Ever notice, how commercials seam to be getting more and more like their own little shows? How many capital one commercials do they have now? They’re starting to become these little mini shows that you watch while you wait for the actual show to come back on. Or maybe when they say “Everybody loves Raymond” They really mean
“What’s in your wallet? Take 42!”

…..and yes I said 42, fellow hitchhikers rejoice….

Anyway, this commercial thing is getting out of hand. Like the ones that try to be funny, and they’re really just annoying. Like Tag…and Axe…great examples. Pretty soon y’know, they’ll start putting commercials in movies…….wait a minute…
Pretty soon they’ll start putting commercials on the…..never mind.

I like going to the movies. I don’t do it a lot, but I like it. It’s really nifty the kinds of things they can do in movies nowadays. But despite that, a lot of people are staying home and waiting for it to come out on DVD. Now, I’m no specialist on this but…I know some people only watch a movie once. Unless they’re on a bus or something then they don’t really have a choice. But I know, there’s someone out there, who waits about a year or so for a movie to come, just so they can rent it and watch it. Now renting is about the same as going to a movie theater…about. Depends where you live. But to me, if you’re going to see a movie once, wouldn’t you rather see it nice and big in a theater so you can fully enjoy it? I mean, if you’re the kind of person that just watched movies once you’re either really old or really poor. Or just extremely dull. Possibly all three.
If that’s the case, and you’re reading this now…then you’re 1% more exciting. Read this again and you’ll be a hypocrite.

One thing that really bugs me, are the people who bash every remake, sequel prequel movie that comes out. Grant it, some are bad. But come on people…if you don’t like some remake of an old movie, because girl A’s boobs are too big. Then start watching the rest of the movie, and maybe her boobs might not seem so big anymore. GASP! What a concept! Seriously people, if you’re too busy paying attention to what’s wrong with the bloody movie, then you’re obviously not going to see anything else. Dur! I can guarantee if 4,5,6 didn’t come out before 1,2,3,…Then you all would be like “OMG!!! THAT”S SO COOL!” instead of “Anakin is tooo whiinnnyyyy! Padme is ugly Jar Jar is Annooyyyiinngggg!!!!”
Every time I hear someone do that I think “You’re whining, you’re ugly, and you’re annoying the hell out of me right now. Why are YOU complaining?”


I liked Jar Jar…so shut up.

Just to recap in case some of you aren’t really paying attention, this conversation started with the topic raining on parades, and we are now on Jar Jar. At first glance they may seam like two completely different subjects that carry no relevance to each other. But you are wrong my friends. For, simply because I’m a freak and can do this, I can connect the two subjects together.

Raining on parades, rain, water…waving…moving ads.

Jar Jar, amphibious, water, waves when he gets home….moving ad for what drinking while being pregnant can do to the intelligence of your baby.

So, to sum it all up. Don’t rain on a drunken parade unless you want a jar-jarring end result.
