Snoop Dogg-Ego Trippin, Leo Sayer-Endless Flight

Earl Ditmann from Wireless magazine. If you don't know who he is, he is a film "critic" from a fake magazine that gives great reviews to terrible movies so they will print his reviews on the top of ads in the paper. Today he was quoted as saying "A total knockout! Sensational!" about a movie called "Never Back Down" that I would expect won't last more than a week in the theaters. Wikipedia has some other quotes including:

Racing Stripes - “Soon to take its place as one of this generation's most hilarious, smart and entertaining family classics.”

Son of the Mask - “Hilarious! Wonderfully witty. A comedy for the child in all of us.”

Guess Who - “Outrageously funny! Absolute comic perfection!”

RV - “RV is spectacularly hilarious.”

Catwoman - “100% pure fun and excitement!”

I don't think he actually reviews good movies as for those they have no interest in his quotes. He is rather mysterious though as nobody can actually find this wireless magazine. I recommend doing a search on Dittman and reading some of the explorations into "who is earl dittman".

Snoop Dogg is not getting any better, that much I can tell. He never has matched the greatness of his debut album, but recently he has had a couple of decent albums that are worth listening to. I am not sure Ego Trippin is one of them. It doesn't include that one great song that makes the whole album worthwhile. Leo Sayer on the other hand. This album, which I mentioned previoiusly when I talked about the demise of physical copies of music, is one that I have seen ten billion times at yard sales. Now I understand why so many people bought it. This is a damn good album. Both albums get a 7.5 but snoop is out of 12 and Leo is out of 10.
