Broken Flowers

Teacher extraordinaire and resident Stanford genius Ryan Lampe saves us from movie review starvation with his latest article in The Stanford Daily.

Hollywood Foreign Press, looking for a new member?

Ralf, Man Of The People

Just when you thought Ralf didn’t drive anything other than a 7-Series or LS430, he purchases a Yaris - at the factory no less.

What a guy.

Keeping Up With The Jones’

Drooling over Quad-SLI and the Dell 3007WFP?

Wait till March/May and you could have a 7900 GTX and possibly a larger Cinema Display.

Houston, haben wir ein Problem

Peter M. DeLorenzo covers the 2006 Detroit Auto Show. Don’t miss his description of the German executives at the Lexus stand.

Interesting Fact: Toyota is worth more than BMW, DCX, and VAG combined.

I guess that’s one reason why the execs are sullen.

Classic Comments

You gotta love Bob Lutz. GM annointed saviour and father of the Solstice. His comments Wednesday at the North American International Auto Show were pure gems.

Here’s where people get this wrong: They say, Why are executives paid so much? You have to ask: Why are professional athletes paid so much?

The capability of successfully trying to turn around an unsuccessful automobile company is a very rare and highly sought after skill set. And you do the shareholder no good whatsoever by reducing compensation to the point where everybody leaves.

Any comments Carlos?

GM’s Lutz: Don’t cut exec pay [The Detroit News]

Hardman Henno

It’s been quite a break, and last night’s return of E-Ring didn’t disappoint. The globe trotting reminded me of Alias, though the action scene in ‘London’ was riddled with errors.

I wonder what would be going through Ken’s head, with all these left hand drive vehicles on the wrong side of the road in his city. Would it be like Andy Richter’s? I bet none of the drivers paid their congestion charge.

Harry Pearce must be apoplectic with the MI6 officer in the operation. The work of Mace and Siviter?

  • BREAKING NEWS: DID BOBBY LEAVE THE CAN IN THE STREET?

Would have been nice if they did a cross over and brought Adam along for the ride. Heck, they could have used SAS ‘Super Army Soldier‘ Henno and his crack Red Troop for the take down. That would have reduced the scene length to 2 seconds. 

VERDICT: Typical Jerry Bruckheimer production, but please stop looping to infinity the ‘emotional‘ background music. We get it. :cry:

Is there an antidote to rid this tune out of my head? J.T, I have a mission for you… where’s a pen when you need one. :razz:

Daydreaming

A clock on a wall displaying the time of 4:20PM

So I’m sitting here this afternoon dreaming of 30″ of goodness.

Better return to reality, and grab that barf bag.

3 More Sleeps

If you’ve seen the latest Nivea commercial, and like the music, then you’ll absolutely dig Asher Lane.

Their new single ‘New Days‘ will be released this Friday.

Lookalikes

No, I’m not referring to BAR’s livery. Though by some strange coincidence the subject in question is now in the same team.

Better grab one of these before they’re all sold out.

Let there be no flying doves, 360 degree turns, or slow motion action scenes.

Casting Update:
