Comprehensive Chuck Norris Facts

This list of Chuck Norris Facts neatly sums up the email chain phenomenon of the last month or so. Relevant related material is the official Chuck Norris response to the Facts.

I've emailed this, and the Mr. T equivalent, to a bunch of folks and it occurs to me I may have linked this already, if so, my bad. Just read it again and stop your whining.

Unfairly Maligned

A Case Can Be Made for Jimmy Carter being the only President to serve during my lifetime (start with Nixon) who was actually a decent human being. The rest are or were better suited to serve the country as inmates pounding out license plates.

Movie Deaths Database: fairly new site, so it's utility will doubtless improve in time. Already fun to surf. The first death I looked for to test the site out was Jim (Sean Connery) Malone's in "The Untouchables."

I'm curious, if you check it out, which one you look for first ...

How 'Bout Some Lists?

To the best of my recollection, I saw fifteen movies that were released in 2005. Doing a Top Ten list seems like a dirty compromise between narrowing it down to a Favorite Five or just listing all fifteen, so I'll force myself to work a little and narrow it down to ...

C-Dog's Top Five Movies of 2005
1. Serenity -- This was an easy choice. Well-written sci-fi actioner that delivers on the humor and the thrills. Adam Baldwin should win Best Supporting Actor. [RT=80%]
2. The Wedding Crashers -- Flawed (for example, Will Ferrell's weak, bloated cameo) but far and away the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. [RT=74%]
3. Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior -- Low budget, the soundtrack sounds like the canned tune that comes out of the box with a low end Casio synthesizer, but it kicks ass. [RT=84%]
4. The 40 Year Old Virgin -- More funny. [RT=84%]
5. King Kong -- The ape is awesome. [RT=83%]
Just Missed the Cut: Batman Begins [RT=83%]
Other Notable Kung Fu Flicks: Kung Fu Hustle [RT=90%]& Unleashed [RT=67%]
Movies I Thought I'd Like More Than I Did: Syriana, Sin City, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

And then there's a bunch of movies I wanted to see and will netflix eventually: Crash, The Aristocrats, March of the Penguins, Transporter 2, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, and possibly The Matador if only because the ads use one of my all-time favorite songs, The Jam's "A Town Called Malice."
