My car doesn&#8217;t make that rubbing\/grinding noise anymore!  It was the wheel hub assembly, and I was going to do it myself, but the weather was crappy and I was lazy&#8230; so I paid to have it done.  Oh well.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really have crap else for you to read&#8230; sorry.  My life isn&#8217;t all that exciting.  I do have a new flat screen at home, so that&#8217;s fun.  Oh, and Blockbuster cut the online rental thing down to $17.49\/month AND made the coupons good for game rentals as well.  Why?  Because Netflix dropped theirs to $17.99.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fool.com\/News\/mft\/2004\/mft04101804.htm?source=EDNWFT\">The Motley Fool<\/a> thinks &#8220;Netflix and Blockbuster are both morons for engaging in this price-cutting suicide pact.&#8221;  While that might be true, I&#8217;m not complaining &#8211; I&#8217;m not a shareholder.  My only complaint is that only about 1\/4 of the movies in my queue are &#8220;Available Now&#8221; &#8230; c&#8217;mon guys, buy some more movies!  And why do sometimes it takes 2 days to get here, and sometimes it takes a week?  <\/p>\n<p><em>Spider Man 2<\/em> &#8211; Caught it at the cheap movies.  Everyone said how great of a movie it was&#8230; I wasn&#8217;t terribly impressed.  I mean, it was ok and all, but not anything earth-shattering.<\/p>\n<p><em>Blow<\/em> Based on the true story of George Jung.  George basically started the American cocaine market in the 70s.  After seeing the movie, I&#8217;d love to find the &#8216;real&#8217; story and see how much of it was real and how much was made for entertainment.  I guess if you&#8217;re in the mood for a &#8216;serious&#8217; movie, this might work for ya.  I can&#8217;t give it a &#8216;strong&#8217; rating, but a &#8216;watch if you&#8217;re bored&#8217; rating.<\/p>\n<p><em>Soul Plane<\/em> &#8211; Didn&#8217;t really like it.  It had it&#8217;s funny parts, but not enough.  &#8220;Barber Shop&#8221; meets &#8220;Airplane&#8221;.  C&#8217;mon, when was the last time you saw a good movie with Tom Arnold in it??<\/p>\n<p><em>8 Mile<\/em> &#8211; I hate to say this, but I thought it was a pretty good movie.  I mean, Eminem as an actor?!  He actually does a decent job though.  I was expecting either something completely cheesey or self-gratifying &#8211; it wasn&#8217;t either.  It&#8217;s not exactly based on his life, but I think a lot of events and people from his life were put into it, so that probably helped make his role a little more believable.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for now I guess&#8230; have you seen anything good lately?  Let me know&#8230; I&#8217;m running out of ideas \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yay! My car doesn&#8217;t make that rubbing\/grinding noise anymore!
