An example of something inappropiate

So you really want to know why this blog is named Damn Ralph?  Well let's examine my friend Ernie's Flickr Photo Gallery (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ern/).  Specifically the gallery of the LoTR marathon (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ern/sets/208393/) that we had earlier this year.

Ernie graciously provided most of the appetizers for the 12 hour long drunken marathon.  But even before I was officially drunk I had to start something inappropriate.  And inappropriate I went when I created my masterpiece right there on the living room floor using the only material available to me...PoppyCock!

I entitled my creation (as shown in the picture) as the PoppyCock Ring. 

If you look at the title of the image on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ern/8384791/in/set-208393/) you can see how appropriate it is to call this site Damn Ralph.

The Entertainment Industry is in Remake Glory

There were a couple of movie remakes in the beginning that were cool but now it's gotten ridiculous....they can't make a good one anymore they are just regurgitating the same crap that was already done .  And everything is a remake...I went to the movies on Tuesday I don't remember any movie that I want to go see in the future, Miami Vice and Posideon were the only movies I remember and both are remakes.  

2006 is blank for me ... I am not looking forward to any movie being released.  This year I at least had Star Wars and the years before that was LoTR's.

Movies are starting to suck just like Music does.  TV is getting bad too it's the cable channels that take the risks that have the good content.  Daily Show and Battlestar Galactica would never be shown on the networks.

Our entertainment industry is driven by the advertising companies now and not by Hollywood.

You want an example of this?  Let's look at the Apprentice.  First season they were selling lemonade on the streets.  In the current season every episode is a hour long commercial for what ever product or service has bought the rights to that weeks show.  The Apprentice is now dictated by advertising and not creative influences.  And because of that money that is pouring in we'll see many more seasons of the apprentice even after the novelty wears off...just like Survivor.  Do you think the top prize of a one year contracts means anything to the winner?  No, Trump probably puts them in the basement with Milton to get rid of the cockroach problem.

The entertainment industry is either dead or dying.  But no one notices it but the consumers.  Time to wake up Hollywood it's time to change or die.
