Film T-MINUS ONE DAY UNTIL GHOST RIDER!

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Thu, Feb 15 at 6:06 AM

So close, you guys. SO FUCKING CLOSE. We’re only ONE DAY away from Ghost Rider, which the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences has already declared to be the Best Motion Picture of All Time! But this is the hard part, man. This is when Ghost Rider seems to be so close to you that you can almost feel your skin heating up from being so close to his burning skull. TOMORROW! And yet… and yet he’s still so, so far away. TOMORROW! It’s like that song “The Waiting (Is the Hardest Part),” which Tom Petty wrote about Ghost Rider back in 1981. 1981! So just think about that for a minute, Mr./Ms. Impatientpants: Tom Petty’s been waiting for this movie since 1981. So it could be worse.

Since we’re so close, though, today there are FOUR Kickass Ghost Rider Facts of the Day™ instead of just one! Two are stolen from Wikipedia!

• KGRFOTD™ I: “Ghostrider” is the call sign for Tom Cruise’s aircraft in Top Gun (1986).

• KGRFOTD™ II: “Ghost Rider” (1982) is a 15-minute school bus safety film produced by Penn State Public Broadcasting.

• KGRFOTD™ III: Mistah F.A.B.’s song “Ghost Ride the Whip” was written about Ghost Rider. To a lesser extent, so was Chamillionaire’s “Ridin’ Dirty.”

• KGRFOTD™ IV: Ghost Rider killed Stephen Colbert after Colbert made the poor decision to give Ghost Rider some sass.

I’m not sleeping until I see Ghost Rider! Are you guys with me? SHIT YES! WE CAN MAKE IT! ONE DAY!

One day? I'm witnessing that shit in about ten hours. Ha to the ha!

Ooooh yes! Soon I get to see Nick Cage on the big screen! I'm also on the edge of my seat for the upcoming "National Treasure: Book of Secrets"... it's sure to be a electrifying trip to the local cineplex!

I won the ebay bid for the mustache he wore in World Trade Center. The price? I stole it for $630. Now who's laughing?

Touché...
