Tap your Inner Bad Ass

Your Bunni Friend may appear sweet and mild mannered, (which I usually am). But, you might be surprised to know I LOVE action flicks.

Nothing gets my rapt attention more than hunky guys kicking some butt! So, I could not wait to see the new Terminator 4 Movie, Terminator Salvation (Warner Bros).

Warner Bros just released the 4th and final trailer for the movie. Wow, it’s a very detailed trailer, with a full 4 minutes of footage from this explosive movie. It’s got to be one of the longest official movie trailers to date.

I'm sure you're all familiar with the story lines of the Terminator Movies. The latest, by director McG, is the best one yet! It opens in 2018, and our hero, John Connor (Christian Bale) is leading the resistance against the killer cyborgs of Skynet. He must save humanity, and also find the teen version of his father, and save him....or he'll never be born and humanity will expire.

Along the way, another kick-ass hero shows up. He's Sexy Sam Worthington, who breaks out as a big-screen action star. The buff & hunky Aussie, who plays the mysterious Marcus Wright, damn near stole the movie. The twists and turns along the way when this guy is raging around fending off cyborgs will leave you wondering what's next on the Armageddon agenda up until to the very end. Even then, his agenda isn't fully clear - you can leave that to your imagination.

This flick is def. WAY better than the campy 2003 T-3, which was too funny....and not rough enough for my tastes. Well, not here. T-4 isn't a run of the mill B-Movie with silly comic relief. T Salvation is an all - out, ramped up, kick-ass, take no prisoners, post-apocalyptic nuked out war. The sets are realistic and gets you to thinking that this is how the world will really look if we don't rein in the current nuts running our country. The end of days are closer than you think, my friends. If you wanna see how the world is gonna end up soon, thanks to Barry O and his minions, this is a good primer.

This is one tough movie, chock full of pulse pounding excitement and great action sequences, explosions, chases, and homages to the other Terminator flicks. It was a great 2 hours of escapism that let me tap my inner Bunni Bad Ass and get out all my aggressions vicariously.

I know you probably read and saw the video's about Christian Bale's melt-down when on the set making this. Some TD guy walked across the set to adjust the lights or something, and Bale went off like one of the explosions in post-war LA! He went kind of ape shit, with lots of swearing and really reamed the guy out.....and Bale caught lots of bad press for it.

But, I say, give the guy a break. He was in Character, after all, and he was concentrating. If he was playing a saint or something, it might have been uncalled for. But he was playing John Connor, trying to save humanity. So, lighten up all you people who picked on him. For all we know it could have been a publicity stunt to garner buzz for the flick months before the opening. Whatever the case for the curse-outs, I think it was funny actually. It gave us hours of comedic relief on You-Tube.

The best of these viral video's was made by this dude, RevoLucian. I think he has a MySpace page that I will add when I ever get on there to update my Page. He named it Bale Out - RevoLucian's Christian Bale Remix! You've gotta watch this, it's hilarious, catchy, and you can dance to it!

So, my friends, at some point, you must get yourself to the theatre and see this flick. Hell, I might see it again in a few weeks. I enjoyed it much more than the new Star Trek I saw a few weeks ago, and I enjoyed that! Now I just need to go see Wolverine! It's $5.00 at the Kerasotes Place that I go to for great seating and killer sound.

If you want to read a really good review of Terminator Salvation and read comments from the actors, check this out. It's a great piece from Redeye that gives a review from LA times.

The actors, Bale, Worthington, Common, and Moon Bloodgood, the quasi love interest of The Mystery Man Worthington, talk about their craft and other projects in the works!

Enjoy and keep your guns holstered!

You've Been Warned

Anyone thinking of going to the Art Institute this week while it is free admission through May 22nd - PLEASE think again!


I made the mistake of going today - I thought I'd check out the new Modern Wing, seeing as how Chicago Taxpayers have been fleeced how many billions of dollars and waited 10 years for its construction. I wish I would have just stayed home and used my vacation day to plant more flowers in my garden.

The crowds were horrible. And the hundreds of "security" guards who just stood around and looked bored didn't give any control as to seeing people went in one door to each individual gallery and out the other. And, why didn't they just have all the gallery doors propped open? They knew thousands of people with their huge strollers would be schlepping around. I used to love this City but lately the unwashed masses are annoying me on a grand scale. I really need to use my days off to stay in and try to get some peace and quiet.



I wish I had not bothered - free or not. And, if I would have paid a $18 or $16 admission fee, I would have been livid. My friend PJ was even more disgusted than I was. Some of the paintings that pass for art a dog could have painted if I dipped her paws in paint and set her on a big canvas. One sculpture looked like someone puked out their birthday cake!

The one cool thing was going up to the 3rd floor to get to the big steel bridge that goes over the street and takes you to Millenium Park - and out of there!

Please be warned if you go, get there VERY EARLY and be prepared for hoards of peasants walking into you and running you over with their strollers. Also bring lots of cash, because a tiny bottle of water is $3.00. Nice to know yet another project from da mayor shortshanks is a piece of crap. If we get the olympics here, I'm moving!

The First Celebrity Swine Flu Fatality

Happy Friday, Dear Readers! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems the dreaded Swine Flu outbreak has not faded away!

In fact, I am sorry to report the First celebrity Swine Flu Fatality. And we all know who gave it to him……


This photo was taken by your intrepid Blogspot Reporter on the scene, the
Amusing Bunni (that would be me)!

I know, it's hard to look at, avert your eyes if you are disturbed. But it is important to keep aware of this pandemic, we are not out of the woods yet. You can keep up on the latest stats from the CDC here. This site updates daily.

If you live in Illinois, as I do, here is our local site from the
IL Health Dept. Chicago has quite a few cases.
If you read my tweets, 2 weeks ago right by where I work there were several confirmed
swine flu cases. Thank GOD I have escaped so far.

I must admit I am a bit of a germaphobe. I was on the ever crappy, Lawrence Ave. Bus. This route is always frequented by the unwashed masses and their unruly, unkempt spawn. I happened to be on it going home from work a few weeks ago, and a very unkempt, germy, slobby looking bum was on there too, coughing up a storm. This was right when the infection hype was hitting the airwaves. I was not the only one who was freaked out. Even the bus driver looked like she was about to throw him off. I kid you not, it could have been a Saturday Night Live Skit if it wasn't real!

This ignorant slob was not sitting very near me, a few rows down, but then he moved. An elderly guy told him to cover his mouth when he coughed. The creep mumbled something and then moved his seat to right across from me, all the while keeping up his disgusting hacking! Well, that was enough for me!

It was pouring rain, but I didn't care. Luckily the bus was stopped at the light, and I just hopped up (as we Bunnies do) and got off the back exit! Call me paranoid, but I felt this guy was a walking contagion factory and I didn't want to be a victim.

So, the lesson is, dear readers. Follow your gut. If something feels wierd, and you can escape, get out of there ASAP! This applies to everything in life. Relationships, jobs, bus rides, walking down a dark deserted street, whatever. This goes with my philosophy of not tolerating disturbing things in my life. I have put up with too much crap in the past, and now I just WON'T tolerate it anymore. A person can only stand so much. I used to be worried about hurting someones feelings. Always putting others feelings above my own - meanwhile did they give a rats ass about MY feelings? Hell, no!

Those deluded days are over for me. Now, something or someone gets on my nerves, I cut 'em loose. (I can't do that with my horrific job, unfortunately, 'cause I haven't won the Lotto, yet).

GOD gives us our intuition, and we would be wise to follow it. Revelation Knowledge is a Beautiful Thing!! Listen to that little voice in your head.
(Just don't answer it out loud in public, or you might get locked up).
It is better to be safe than sorry!
Ask our dear departed friend pictured above, Kermit.
Stay safe and well out there, and remember to avoid germs like the plague.
GOD Bless, Bunni
