WELCOME TO OMAHA!


Here's the website for the transition of Elkhorn to Omaha. It includes a nice letter from Mayor Fahey and a description of all the services that Omaha will offer Elkhorn. I'm surprised it doesn't include directions to the "big city"!

THE 20 GREATEST AWFUL MOVIES OF ALL TIME!


#20 The Beastmaster ('82) Half Conan and half Dr. Dolittle, loincolth-wearing Marc Singer is Dar, a man who talks to the animals...and kills the people. Best line: [To Ferret]"I'm gonna name you Kodo."


#19 Hard Target ('93) Jean-Claude Van Damme's lone film with Wilford Brimley is a good family fun, provided your idea of family fun is watching homeless Vietnam vets being hunted for sport. Best line: [Explaining why his name is Chance] "My mama took one."


#18 Hot Dog....The Movie! ('84) It has skiing, boobs, a jagoff German, boobs, and the fair Sunny('s boobs). Best line: "Now, that's a girl i can take advantage of."


#17 Over the Top ('87) Stallone steamer about a man who regains his son's love by arm wrestling. Best line: "I'm gonna give you a world of hurt, little man."


#16 Tango & Cash ('89) Ali and Frazier. Magic and Bird. Sly and Kurt. It's a dream pairing of B-movie icons in the tale of rival cops who bond by putting grenades in people's pants. Best line: "Rambo is a pussy."


#15 They Live '88 "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has sunglasses that enable him to see that many people are, in fact, aliens. He tells pal Keith David to put on the glasses... only Keith doesn't want to wear'em. Crotch-kickin' galore ensues. Best line: "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And i'm all out of bubble gum."


#14 Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins ('85) They wanted a blockbuster action franchise. Sorry. Best line: "The Korean is the most perfect creature."


#13 Boondock Saints ('99) Writer-director Troy Duffy was supposed to be the next Tarantino but chose to focus his talents on being a prick (it's in the documentary Overnight). His one film pre-flame-out features Willem Dafoe swishing it up as a gay FBI agent. Best line: "Charlie Bronson's always got rope."


#12 Starship Troopers ('97) Satire of fascism or just miserably acted flick about kids who wanne squash some space bugs? Does it matter? Doogie Howser and pals join the military to fight back against insects attacking Earth/take coed showers. Best lines: "I'm from Buenos Aires, and I say kill'em all!"


#11 The Toxic Avenger ('85) Troma Films' masterpiece reveals hat happens when a nerdy janitor falls in toxic waste (he becomes a deformed badass). It ain't Gone With the Wind, but does Scarlett O'Hara rip off a person's arm and then beat him with it? Exactly. Best lines: "Drop your tacos or i'll blow your brains out!"


#10 Best of the Best ('89) James Earl Jones, Eric Roberts, and the U.S. karate team beat Koreans into kimchi. Best lines: "Drop him like a toilet seat, Tommy!"


#9 Missing in Action ('84) While Vietnam wasn't much fun at the time, it's made for a lot of awesome movies. This one may not have the cinematic merit of Full Metal Jacket, but it has something better: Chuck Norris. Former POW Colonel Braddock returns to save our lost boys and teach the Cong some manners (Rambo would finish them off the following year). Best lines: "I'll see you in hell!"


#8 Commando ('85) When you think Matrix, don't think Keanu. Think Arnold. After a former Latin American dictator snatches his daughter (future hottie Alyssa Milano), Schwarzenegger's ex-GI John Matrix must rescue her using only violence and one-liners: "I let him go," "He's dead tired." Best lines: "You're a funny guy, Sully. I like you. That's why i'm going to kill you last."


#7 The Island of Dr. Moreau ('96) Your chance to see Brando with an ice bucket on his head. Best line: "Has it ever occured to you you may have totally lost your mind?"


#6 Billy Madison ('95) The inspiring tale of a lad who just wants to touch the hiney. Best lines: "If peein' your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis."


#5 Dead Alive ('93) In this pre-Lord of the Rings gorefest by Peter Jackson, zombies do battle with Father McGruder, the kung fu priest. Best lines: "I kick ass for the Lord!"


#4 Dolemite ('75) The coolest/worst made blaxploitation flick. A pimp tries to duck the boom mike drifting into shots. Best lines: "I've been wantin' to see me a honky dance!"


#3 Showgirls ('95) Nomi's a small town gal with big dreams (she wants to be a topless dancer in Vegas instead of a topless and bottom-less dancer in Vegas), but first she must overcome sleazy casino execs, rapist rock stars, and much gratuitous nudity. Best lines: "It must be weird not having anybody come on you."


#2 Porky's ('82) Sure, the subplot about anti-Semitism was stupid (just as dick jokes would've felt strange in Schindler's List), but respect must be paid for bringing glory holes to the main-stream and teaching us why Kim Cattrall is called Lassie. Best line: "That penis had a mole on it - I'd recognize that penis anywhere!"


#1 Big Trouble in Little China ('86) Kurt Russell needs to save a green-eyed gal from a Chinese dude who wants to marry her so that he can take over the universe. Or something. Ok, no one knows what the hell's going on in this guns and kung fu gangbang, but if you spot it while flipping channels you watch till the end. Best lines: " We take what we want and leave the rest. Just like your salad bar."

2007 OSCAR MOVIE MARRATHON

Steve, Roxy and our group of Workforce winners went to see Oscar nominated movies on Saturday. We saw Children of Men, Babel and after those two depressing movies we had a GREAT dinner at the new Applebee's in Sorensen Plaza. Then we went back to the Great Escapes Theater and saw our last movie.

It was a great time! Thanks to Great Escapes Theater and Applebee's for a GREAT Saturday!

IOWA NATIONAL GUARD MEMBER POSES FOR PLAYBOY AND GETS DISCHARGED AND DEMOTED


An Air Force drill sergeant and former Iowa National Guard member who posed nude for Playboy magazine has been removed from active duty, she said Wednesday. Whether that amounts to an honorable discharge, as Michelle Manhart also says, is unclear.


Manhart, who appeared in a six-page spread in Playboy's February issue, said she got word Friday that she was removed from "extended active duty" and was also told that she was demoted in rank from staff sergeant to senior airman.

24's JACK BAUER AND CTU STOP THE AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE BOMBERS

This is a very funny video that mixes the Cartoon Networks "Bomb Scare" marketing with the hit TV show 24.

THE NEW BIONIC WOMAN


Once again Hollywood proves me right....there are no good original ideas left. Now it looks like NBC is doing a remake of The Bionic Woman.....what's next the Bionic Dog?? Some British actress named MICHELLE RYAN has become the next "Bionic Woman".

--Michelle will play the lead role in NBC's hour-long pilot for their remake of the 1970s series "The Bionic Woman". Back then, luscious LINDSAY WAGNER portrayed the mechanically-enhanced Jamie Summers.

CRAZY ASTRONAUT MUGSHOT

Yesterday, we told you ALL about 43-year-old Lisa Marie Nowak of Houston. . . a NASA astronaut who went up into space last summer. . . but is going to FOREVER be known as the astronaut who attacked an Air Force captain for stealing away her man.

Here's the mugshot we told you about.....I think she could give Nick Nolte a run for his money in the worst mugshot competition.

$12.95 DORITOS SUPER BOWL AD!

A 30-second ad during Sunday's Super Bowl sold for about $2.6 MILLION. And that doesn't count the cost of producing the ad. Which, for Doritos, was basically NOTHING. . . because the commercial they paid $2.6 million to air cost them $12.79 to make.

Doritos sponsored a contest where anyone could create and submit their own Doritos commercial. Then, one lucky winner would have theirs air during the Super Bowl.

And the winning ad. . . which was done by 22-year-old Dale Backus. . . only cost $12.79 to make. You couldn't even build an "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" bomb for that. Sorry. . . too soon??

The ad will air during the first quarter of the Super Bowl this Sunday.

BOSTON BOMB SCARE VIDEO!

OK, I don't know who thought this was a good idea, but who ever it was owes the city of Boston a BIG apology. This group put up electronic advertising devices that basically look like bombs around Boston and several other cities to promote the Cartoon Networks show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". Of course someone saw the "device" and called the police....then all hell broke out! They shut down the city for several hours.

This video shows the "team" putting up the devices. HOW STUPID!
