I recently saw Click, the Adam Sandler movie, and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, which stars Will Ferrell. Both look like they’d be dumb comedies, but I found myself laughing my ass off during a bunch of scenes. I liked Talladega Nights more than Click, but I was actually rather surprised at how good they both were. Click had some really funny lines and a great Nick Swardson cameo that I was absolutely giddy about, but there were also points when it got overly dramatic and lost the comedic edge. Talladega Nights was probably a dumb script, but the performances by Ferrell along with co-stars John C. Reilly, Sacha Baron Cohen, and appearances from the likes of Molly Shannon, Michael Clarke Duncan, David Koechner, and Gary Cole made this movie really enjoyable. Anyway, just thought I’d post that.

The future of Trashwire.com
First of all, happy new year!
We’re planning some really big stuff for 2007, so be sure to stay tuned for updates and announcements.
The first big project we’re in the process of solidifying is the launch of TrashwireTV. TrashwireTV is the new show we are developing for Denver Open Media. It will combine sketches, news, movie reviews and much more. We’ll also be launching a new site for the show, which will feature episodes, behind-the-scenes info, and extras. It will also feature a blog about the episodes and about our favorite trashy TV shows. The new site is up, so feel free to browse. You can access it at http://trashwire.tv and you can view the blog at http://trashwire.tv/blog.
Next, we are looking to expand Trashwire and add some new writers. If you’re interested in becoming a writer for Trashwire, please use the contact form to send us an email. We’re looking for fun people with a good sense of humor who love writing about all aspects of pop culture. We would really like to add a web video section, so we’re also looking for people who make web videos too. If you’re a creative person and you want a place to publish your work, send us an email.
We’d love to hear your feedback on the new updates as they arrive. Send us your comments on the contact page or friend us on MySpace.
With your help, we can make 2007 the year of Trashwire.com!
The first post of ’07
I’m in the process of revamping all the blogs that are associated with Trashwire, and that includes my blog. I know a lot of you will probably ask, “Just how many blogs does one person need?!” and the answer to that question is… 42. While I don’t actually have 42 blogs, I do have a lot of free time and no patience. This means that I start a blog, I write a few things and then I start a new blog for other ideas I might have that don’t really fit in to the initial blog. In my case, I started a blog via Blogger and got a little bored with the visual style of it, so I branched out and started a WordPress blog via my personal site, AlexisGentry.net. I have no idea how many people will read it, but I’m going to start jotting down my ideas, links to funny sites that I find, quick reviews of movies or TV shows, and other thoughts that pop into my head during the way while I’m bored at work.

I had to post this because I love it so much.
