Tags: I rented this movie spontaneously from the Redbox at my local supermarket. At first I didn’t know that it was supposed to be a comedy. I thought it was just a bad movie, until I got into it. John Cusack did a good job of making me laugh. 2.5 out of 5 from me.
The Detroit Red Wings just finished beating the crap out of the San Jose Sharks 6-0!

Hey I even got a mention on Engadget HD.
So I think I’ll go through the front gates on Saturday as opposed to the rear gate we usually go through.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – A day after celebrating their 500th regular season home game, the Grand Rapids Griffins are expected to welcome the 4 millionth fan in franchise history this Saturday, Dec. 20, when they host the Milwaukee Admirals in a 7 p.m. start at Van Andel Arena.
The Griffins have drawn 3,990,072 fans for their 499 regular season home games over the last 13 seasons, leaving them 9,928 shy of the milestone heading into Friday’s game against Milwaukee – which, barring inclement weather, is expected to draw around 7,000 fans. The magic number should be only a few thousand away when the gates open at 6 p.m. Saturday for the rematch with the Admirals.
The lucky fan will be greeted at the turnstiles in the arena’s main lobby by Griff and Tim Gortsema, the Griffins’ senior vice president of business operations. No. 4 million will then be honored in an on-ice ceremony during the first intermission, where he or she will receive a prize package including:
• A Griffins jersey with the numeral “4” and the nameplate “MILLION” on the back;
• Four lower-bowl tickets to every Griffins home game during the ensuing 4 million seconds;
• Gas card to travel 4 million feet;
• 4 million Zimbabwean dollars;
• 4 million microliters of Pepsi;
• 4 million milligrams of Van Andel Arena popcorn;
• Forty “100 Grand” candy bars;
• Four days of recognition on the griffinshockey.com splash page;
• A four-second standing ovation from Griffins fans during the on-ice ceremony.
4 million feet translates to about 750 miles, 4 million microliters of Pepsi equals one liter of Pepsi, and 4 million Zimbabwean dollars yields $3.50.
