And So The Weekend has Arrived

What does the Jeffer have in store for the weekend? First, I'm going to get a haircut after work tonight. I hate getting my hair cut. I really do. I think I did a Coffee with Jeff on that last year. The thing is, the stylists, who in my day were called barbers, always want to make small talk. I don't! Another thing I hate is mindless small talk. I don't know you and you don;t know me, so just get on with the clipping. I'll tip you just the same either way.

On Saturday I'll create the next installment of Sunday Morning Coffee. I'm really optimistic about this episode! Have a contest with a great prize. It's a tough one.

And on Sunday, Poker (don't eve know her). Ha ha! Anyway, have not had much luck on Sunday poker. We've played two weeks and the first week I just played badly and have no one to blame but myself. Last week, the cards didn't fall my way when I needed them too. It happens. The thing about Texas Hold'em is you gonna have to get lucky at some time to win. The object is to get yourself ready, to put yourself in a position to get lucky.

Hey, this isn't a poker lesson!

I might also change the oil in the Jimmy. Long overdue.

Ideas! Ideas! Ideas!

Always have lots of ideas for the show but time in never on my side. I need a staff. Does anyone want to work for Coffee with Jeff. I promise you won't be harassed, criticised, laughed at or paid.

Sundays Show

Got a great Manchester Gallery for this Sunday show, a short film on being a secretary, Willy goes to the largest snowball fight, why I now believe in flying Saucers and much more. It's looking like a fantastic show but than again I always think that and they never turn out the way I hope.

Other Coffee With Jeff new. The Coffee with Jeff Nation will be at Oddfellows in Woodstock, IL on March 13, 2010 to see the southern rock on Goin' South! BE THERE and have a beer with Jeff.

American Splendor

Yesterday I posted my The Movie Psychic movie review. More than a joke than anything else. Yes, you can say I am wrong for trashing a film that I've never seen before. Fair enough. Still, I am going to assume that film is trash and I probably will never see it.

I thought I'd write about a truly great flick today, American Splendor from 2003. This film stars the great Paul Giamatti as the writer and creator of the comic book of the same name, Harvey Pekar. What this movie does that is so unusual is that, although Harvey and all the people in his life are portrayed by actors, the real people do appear in the film. Not as extras or cameos, but as themselves. The film isn;t afraid to cross that forth wall. It works. You see, we all know that Paul Giamatti is not Harvey Pekar and the film is not a document of Harvey's actual life. The film right away says, Yes, we know that you know and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Besides, it sort of makes the story more real knowing that all the real people are being represented.



This film is on cable every now and the, IFC (Independent Film Channel) shows it about one a month, I would guess. The next clip is early in the film in which Harvey is first getting the idea to write a comic book. It's a funny scene.

The Movie Psychic - She's Out of My League

This is something new.

Although I've never been a believer is Psychic powers, I might change my mind as I feel I've developed powers that let me judge a new movie without ever seeing it. I awoke this morning with a movie review for the new DreamWorks film She's Out of My League.

This film is not worth paying for, in fact two years from now when it is shown in WTBS at 2 in the morning, and you're awake because that cold you have been suffering with for weeks won't let you sleep, and you are just looking for something mindless to doze off to, this movie still won't be worth watching.

It is a stupid, mindless, formulaic romp with uses every cliched joke and fails completely and providing any laughs.

Here is what my psychic powers tell me about the end of the film. If they are correct, I might spoil the ending for you. The geek and the pretty girl get together and give the appearance of living happily ever after. Of course, this is bullsh*t and the relationship won't last, but if this is the king of film you like, just use you suspension of disbelieve and pretend, if that makes you happy.
