And speaking of things I like to watch
The film Notorious, about the life of rapper Biggie Smalls, opens in theatres today.
I was going to title this post "kick in the door, waving the .44" but googled it and found I had already used it to title the post when the film was first announced. I'm unoriginal. And have a bad memory. But good instincts. So, that's something.
The trailer gave me chills, I love me some Biggie:
Short tangent: my million dollar idea is to rerelease all of Biggie's music without Puffy saying "that's right" and "uh huh" over all the songs. What's funny is that it would be a million dollar idea for Puffy. He's probably too egotistical to do it, though.

It would be like Let It Be: Naked, but less pretentious and full of awesome. I am already on your bandwagon.
