WTF!??!?! It Must Be Easy to Become A Mayor...

A fire that started in a storage room Tuesday caused extensive damage to Shelton High School, raising the possibility that the start of school following the Christmas break might be delayed.
The fire was reported at 12:50 p.m., forcing the evacuation of the high school and interrupting a freshman boys basketball game.
Officials said the fire started in a second-floor storage room where cleaning supplies and paper were kept. It then spread through the ceiling ducts.
Fire Marshal James Tortora and investigators from the State Fire Marshal's office said they had not determined what caused the fire as of late Tuesday afternoon.
The school recently underwent $25 million in renovations, and although the project was dedicated in a ceremony in May, some final work still hadn't been completed.

The portion of the building where the fire started does not have sprinklers. The lack of sprinklers caused controversy this fall when it was discovered the city had no waiver from the state fire marshal to do without sprinklers. Mayor Mark Lauretti recently told a television reporter that sprinklers were not needed because, "The only thing in the building that can burn are people and paper."

A number of people, including Shelton firefighters, were heard quoting the mayor at the fire scene.
The State Fire Marshal's office is expected to release a report soon that says the lack of sprinklers violates the state fire code. But Board of Education member James Orazietti, who was on the scene, said his understanding is that sprinklers are not required in the older part of the building, which was constructed before the state fire code mandated them.

Peter Schiff Has Psychic Powers

OK, really I didn't want to watch this video because I thought it would be lame and boring- but then i watched it and I was like 'Whoa!' and then I was like 'No Way!' and then I was like 'Duuuuude!'
No seriously, watch this- I don't know who Peter Schiff is but he called it 2 years before it happened. This is a montage of clips throughout a 1 year period of time where he is trying to warn everyone and people pretty much tell him he is stupid. Worth a listen!

Hey- I don't care what she does, but it is always fun to see celebs caught in the act. And in case you have forgotten already, Kristen Stewart plays Bella in the new movie Twilight, which I reviewed recently.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Twilight, 2 Virginal Vampires out of 5

Well, first I would like to preface this review by saying that I did read the Twilight book series (except for the last book). I really enjoyed the first book in the series, the one the film is based on. That said, the movie is not nearly as enjoyable as the book was. If you had to choose between either the movie or the book, please pick the book. I actually encourage all the 3 of the RMB blog readers to read the first book in the series.
OK, now onto the movie review.
It started off good, faithful to the book and then somewhere the train derailed horribly. The supporting actors in this movie couldn’t act their way out of a paper bag. It was quite sad actually and for a good part of the movie the audience was laughing (and not because this was a comedy). I really, really wanted to like this movie. And I thought that the trailer conveyed that the film was well done. But, the trailer tricked to me. The screenplay was poorly adapted and a lot of the dialogue was unforgivable. An example; at one point Edward, our main hero- the brooding, handsome vampire, takes Bella (the female lead) and tosses her on his back as he prepares to fly out of the window- but before he does, he turns around and says “You better hang on you little spider monkey”- WHAT THE FU… no really, What The Eff- where did that come from? I sure as hell don't remember that line from the book, and if you don't think it seems corny, then I implore you to watch that scene of the film and not laugh.
Edward, played by Robert Pattinson, did an OK job. At times I thought his line delivery was wooden and uncomfortable, but I do give him an A for effort. He is quite dreamy so I might be going too easy on him. Bella, played by Kristen Stewart, does a much better job. She was more like the way I imagined the Bella character to be.
Everyone else pretty much sucked. Well, the kid who played Jacob (the annoying soon-to-be werewolf) was actually alright. I thought I would hate him (because I did in the book) but he did a good job in the movie.
Anyhow, if you did not read the book, then do not see this movie- save your money. If you did read the book, then take a chance and see the movie- if only to compare and contrast the characters from the book. If you are a teenage girl, then go see this movie right away- did I mention that Edward takes his shirt off in the film?!?
This picture is for you Brandie- I will admit that Robert Pattinson is really hot, especially for being so damned pale.
OK- ridiculous supporting Actor number One- The blonde guy, that is Peter Facinelli, he is actually 34 years old, but he looks like he is 23. Anyhow, he plays Dr. Cullen in the film and he is supposed to be Edward's (and the rest of the vampire clan) adoptive father! I know Dr. Cullen is young in the book, but I pictured someone more like Patrick Dempsey- where he is still good looking and young, but not so young that it would be weird for him to have a 17 year old son!
Here is an example of Bella being a Spider Monkey...
Ridiculous supporting actor number 2- this guy! I don't know his name, but i do know that if Justin Timberlake and Edward Scissorhands had a baby, it would be this kid. Oh, and his acting is atrocious, just really, really horrible. Most of the laughter in the audience came when he was on the screen. The chick kinda looks like a young Sandra Bullock...
And, here is a still from the Prom scene in the movie. Can Edward resist the tempation to bite Bella? Read the book and find out! (but dont find out from the movie)
