Ryan’s Movie Alert: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, coming out on Christmas day, stars Ben Stiller, (who also directs) Kirsten Wiig and Adam Scott. Judging from the trailer and synopsis, Secret Life looks to be a fantasy comedy blend, or as I like to call it, Dodging Reality with a budget. This film is drastically different from Stiller’s other directorial features, (Tropic Thunder, Zoolander, The Cable Guy) and in my opinion, different is always good. If nothing else, this trailer peaks my interest and I’ll absolutely be seeing it in theater’s. Plus, can a film about daydreaming starring three comedy all stars really be that bad? We’ll find out on Jesus’s birthday.

Rhode Island Isn’t In The Top Five States For Beer Consumption. Challenge Accepted.
“Preference and consumption of alcoholic beverages varies not only by person but by location. And the beer industry recently released figures outlining consumption by state. The top five states for beer consumption per capita are North Dakota, New Hampshire, Montana, South Dakota and Wisconsin, according to the Beer Institute, a trade organization. North Dakota drank about 45.8 gallons of beer per resident 21 and older last year, the institute said. Per capita figures do not include residents under 21 years old.” – YAHOO
This is unacceptable. My friends and I have spent the past 7 years of our life drinking 30 rack after 30 rack, and this is the respect we get? I have no qualms with New Hampshire. I went up there this past winter and there is literally nothing to do but snowboard and drink beer. But North Dakota? I can’t live with myself knowing that those scumbags in North Dakota drink more beer than me. Can’t do it. 45.8 gallons of beer doesn’t even seem like that much. I accept this challenge from North Dakota and I will defeat them. They are my Drago. Busch Light stock is about to go through the roof.

P.S. I got your back Rhode Island.
George Clooney Has His Own Tequilla And Now I’m Addicted To Tequilla
Clooney getting into the spirits game. I love it. I was already borderline hooked on tequilla and now that the love of my life has thrown his hat into the race I plan on only drinking tequilla for the rest of my natural born days. I love the showmanship in the commercial as well. Anything can happen when you drink Casamigos. With my luck, I’d end up with Cindy Crawford or Stacey Keibler. Give me Clooney!
– Ryan
P.S. The other guy in that commercial is Clooney’s partner in the tequilla game, Randy Gerber, who is actually married to Cindy Crawford. What a skinny dipping party that would be.
Olivia Munn in THE Metal Bikini. You’re Welcome
Olivia Munn has rapidly climbed my celebrity crush ladder, knocking off the once immovable object, Kate Beckensale, as top girl. The reason? Well, I have numerous. For one, she is impossibly good looking. I don’t know who your parents are, Olivia, but I will thank them in person for creating you when I ask for your hand in marriage. Secondly, she plays the beautiful, smart, and funny Sloan Sabbith on HBO’s ‘The Newsroom’. Now, just good looks and smarts doesn’t get you to the top of Funky Butt Matt’s celebrity crush list (if that were the case I’d be looking at Bill Paxton as top dog). There are other intangibles that I look for. When I found out Olivia Munn happens to be a Star Wars nerd, I nearly fainted.
Her Twitter cover photo
Then I stumbled across this picture of her in the famous “Metal Bikini”, which solidified her rise to the top.
This picture was taken during her time as host of the G4 show “Attack of the Show”. Oh wait that’s right…she was the host of a tech show. Please marry me, Olivia!

PS- This is the only time this was worn better than Carrie Fisher. ONLY TIME
Tech Tuesday: Keyboards, Mice, and Speakers. OH MY!
Computers are a beautiful thing, but they are only as good as the tools you use to manipulate and interact with them. Here are my pics for best looking, feeling, and sounding peripherals for your desktop or laptop.
1.) M.O.U.S 9 by Mad Catz – $127.99 (http://goo.gl/s2qkuU)
When you first lay eyes on the MOUS9 by Mad Catz you are likely to think that it is more spaceship than mouse for your computer. This mouse, and the rest of the gaming mice that Mad Catz have to offer, are the most unique pieces of technology i’ve seen in a long time. Meant to be fully customizable to fit your palm, these mice are the most comfortable I have ever used. From weight, to length, and all the additional customizable buttons, this mouse was made to be used for long periods of time with little fatigue. While this mouse is primarily aimed at the gaming community I have found it useful while editing video.
2.) Das Keyboard Professional Model for Mac – $130.00 (http://goo.gl/068Y8V)
Next on my list is the Texas based keyboard company, Das Keyboard. The one word to describe this companies line of keyboards? FEEDBACK. The single most important word when it comes to describing a keyboards feel. When I first bought my iMac I could not stand the, basically zero, feedback of the Mac keyboards. It did nothing for me when I wanted to type long scripts and blog posts. But then came along Das Keyboard. The keyboards with buttons that practically push you back! The springy feel and loud clicking sounds will surely give your fingers something to be excited about.
PS- Like the feedback but with no loud clicking noises? Das Keyboard makes silent boards as well!
3.) M-Audio Studiophile AV30 Professional Reference Speakers – $79.00 (http://goo.gl/AjPmcs)
I have just recently made the switch from my onboard speakers to these bad boys. I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner! These are great studio monitors on the cheap. $80 gets you two great sounding, self powered, speakers that have a built in Auxiliary and headphone plugs right in the front of the left monitor. They pumped out big sound from a small frame, and look great on any desk.

PS- Bonus pick -Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones – $27.00 (http://goo.gl/OFVrla)
Great sounding headphones with a long cord. Not noise canceling, but a great pick for under $30.
The “Gossip Center” Covering Taylor Swift News Like Morons
Taking some time off of their touring duties, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran rented some paddle boards and hit the high seas at Narragansett Bay in Westerly, Massachusetts on Sunday afternoon (July 28). -Gossip Center
Ok, Gossip Center, if you are going to report about one of our own local celebrities here in Rhode Island please remove your head from your collective asses. Number one, Narragansett Bay is basically the entire Rhode Island, and some of Massachusetts, watershed. So saying you’re “AT” Narragansett Bay is a pretty vague statement. Number two, Westerly is a RHODE ISLAND town that boarders Connecticut, and is nowhere near Massachusetts.
-MattyV
PS- I don’t know who Ed Sheeran is, but he would be the poster child of “People Who Look Awkward At The Beach” Magazine.
From Now On I’m Only Traveling Via DeLorean’s
Some people wake up and live an average, 9-5 type of life. Then there’s Rick Weissensel. Rick makes people’s dreams come true. Now that I’ve found him and his marvelous creations, I think it’s only right that I go into horrible debt and purchase everything he makes. Heading to the mall? I think I’ll take my DeLorean Hummer. Got an exclusive lake party/polo match to attend? Seems only right to take my DeLorean stretch limousine. If I ever want to be a royal asshole and ruin everyone’s perfect beach day I can take my DeLorean hovercraft right into the Atlantic Ocean. As a Back To The Future Fan and general lover of Michael J. Fox, this is a dream come true. Someone needs to push Rick to make a DeLorean airplane. That’s when the real fun starts.
– Ryan
P.S. What a Monday. I’ve discovered I’m a lake person and found my new mode of transportation. That’s what I call a boom baby.
