What if the trailers had been different for these movies?

I'm not sure how well this is going to work, but I thought I'd give it a try. I wondered how certain movies might come across if the trailers centered around an event (or events) which wasn't (weren't) central to the film's overall story. So, I thought I'd tinker around with that idea regarding some films I've seen so many times, I pretty much have them memorized.

Film: Big

Trailer: "Be careful what you wish for, as Tom Hanks now knows from the film Big. In this movie, Hanks plays as a young boy who wishes to be 'big,' only to awaken the next morning as someone much bigger. Does he just become taller? Older? Fatter? Did he grow a large wee-wee? Or did he become a child sumo wrestler? Watch and see for yourself, but make no mistake about it, Hanks is 'big!'"


Film: Coming to America

Trailer: "Ever been living the African dream, have everything handed to you as a prince, and want more out of life, so you traveled to America to try and live the American dream? The American dream - mopping floors at a restaurant, cooking, and hoping to one day make assistant manager. Why? 'Because that's when the big bucks come rolling in.' Join Eddie Murphy and see if he too can achieve the American dream."


Film: The Naked Gun

Trailer: "Many men and women alike get paranoid about holes in condoms. That paranoid will cease after watching Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley in The Naked Gun. Parents, do you want your kids to truly become educated on safe-sex? Then forget that abstinence-only education crap and tell them to stray away from condoms which only wrap around guys' dingalings. Just have them watch Lieutenant Frank Drebin and Jane Spencer do the deed with their bodies completely wrapped in latex. Just make sure to tell them to poke holes toward their upper head (not lower) so they don't suffocate. You're welcome."


Film: Clue

Trailer: "If you want a more entertaining version of the Bible, Clue might be just what you're looking for! In it, Mr. Body (Jesus) is killed, rises from the dead, and is killed again. What will he do next? Will he rise again? Was he really dead the first time or the second time? Was he really Jesus at all? Have all or none of these questions answered and more in Clue! See it today!"


Film: Spaceballs

Trailer: "All guys have them - penises, or the schwartz as they're known in the new film Spaceballs. They're said to have a mind of their own and no matter how hard guys try to deny it, they can't help but peek at other guys to compare. 'I see that your schwartz is as big as mine!' Come and celebrate gay pride by watching Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis showcase their schwartz's. You won't regret it!"

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...
