Maybe I’m being a little cruel to Angelina Joile with today’s strip, but frankly, anyone who would make not one – but TWO Tomb Raider movies, deserves what she gets.
Oh, and are the two Penny Arcade references shameless attempts to get Tycho and Gabe to pay attention to me? Yes. Oh yes.
I think there is a lot of promise with Joile. She’s probably one of the few Supporting Actress Oscar Winners that hasn’t been completely crippled by her win. Usually, you don’t hear from those people ever again. Mira Sorvino, anyone?
But truthfully, I remain unimpressed by what is/was the three ring circus surrounding Joile’s life. The whole Billy Bob Thorton fling that didn’t wash. The estrangement from her father, actor Jon Voight. The facination with knives or kinky sex. Even her work for the United Nations or her adoption of an orphaned Cambodian boy aren’t capturing my imagination.
Funny. For as much as I profess to be annoyed by Jolie, I sure seem to know a lot about her… Meh.
I held firm to my promise and did NOT see Bad Boys II this weekend – something I am rather proud of.
Instead, Cami and were feeling in a documentary type mood and rented Jerry Seinfield’s Comedian and The Real Cancun.
The Real Cancun was everything you would expect: Totally facesless college students getting drunk and making out for two hours. Occassional boobie shot. Thanks guys.
I don’t know if any of you have seen it, but the movie was a huge turn off to me. Those twins from New Mexico? Did anyone else think they looked like lizards? Maybe it’s just me.
Comedian, on the other hand, was much BETTER than I expected it. I enjoyed how it didn’t always show Seinfield’s best side. It was also interesting how it mirrored Seinfield’s story (starting over from being the biggest thing in comedy) against the up-and-comer (TRYING to be the next biggest thing in comedy).
I don’t own a lot of documentaries, but I was impressed by Comedian’s cool style. I liked it a lot.
That out of the way, I want to announce that I will be out of town starting this Thursday and won’t be back until next Monday. I’m heading out to Las Vegas.
How this will affect the strip, I don’t know. Part of me thinks I can work ahead and have Friday’s strip post while I’m out of town (I can just post Monday’s comic late).
But on the other hand, I’m thinking that this is a vacation and that I deserve a vacation from ALL responsabilities. Maybe guest strips are in order?
Tell you what. If I get two REALLY good guest strips (from people who haven’t submitted before), we’ll see what happens.
Consider the idea tossed out into the universe. E-mail me if you’re interested.

So The Cult of Sandler is taking a road trip in continuation of this week’s storyline. Be sure to check Monday’s comic if you missed it. Don’t worry. I’ll tie up all the loose ends on Friday. (My attention span isn’t that long, either!)
I’m not totally sure where I’m manifesting these strips this week. I know today’s is certainly off-beat. All I know is that the thought of some quasi-mystical Adam Sandler worshipers playing guessing games in a soccer mom van made me giggle uncontrollably. Maybe it’s Seasonal Affectional Disorder. I must not be getting enough sunlight.
By the way, if you’re wondering why I’m committing a week to spoofing Adam Sandler, it’s because his new movie 50 First Dates comes out on Friday. Cami is making me go, there’s no two ways about it. Not that I’m not looking forward to it. On the contrary, there are great psychological benefits to watching Drew Barrymore smack Rob Schneider over the head with a baseball bat. Get those endorphins pumping!
Not much else going on in my life at the moment. I guess one of the houses on my street caught fire tonight. We live in kind of a new area and there a few finished homes without families in them, so I don’t know if anyone was hurt. There was maybe 5 large fire trucks blocking off the street. Their red and blue lights were flashing for hours. It kept freaking out our beagle Truman. He didn’t know what they hell they were.
Truman’s birthday is the 22nd. He’ll be two years old. Cami thinks I should do a comic about it.
I’d better stop here before this tangent goes flying off into space. It’s late.

If you want to know what it means to undertake a labor of love, then you need to talk to Derek Rose. THorumite, humorist, writer and illustrator of the web comic Pathetisad. Derek assembled an awesome Flash game for Theater Hopper that can be found in the Bonus Materials section, under games.
Have you ever wanted to strip Tom down to his tighty-whities and dress him up in a myriad of different outfits once featured in the comic?
Well, guess what? Thanks to Derek, now you can.
Thanks, Derek!

If you’re a die-hard Will Ferrell fan like me, you can’t wait for Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby coming out on August 4. It’s the same team that put together Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, so you know it’s going to be good.
Anyway, it’s a little early yet, but I thought I would share with you this game that I found online where you – as Ricky Bobby – have to sign as many objects as you can in Victory Row after winning a big race. It’s pretty funny to check out just for the stuff they put in front of you to sign.
