I Want To See All Of These!!

   Oh hey.  Can you believe it, three days in a row I've been writing haha.  Today's topic is about awesome movies I'm very much looking forward to seeing.  Some are very well known movies, but some are movies I think have a great cinematic quality to them.  I have a weird sense of what I think is a good movie, but from what I've seen I think most of you will want to see them too. Some of these movies are hitting theaters this weekend, so you can bet I'm gonna be seeing these films.  Let's start with the movies that are dropping this week at a theater near you. 

   The Hangover Part 2 is probably on everyone's list of movies to see this week.  If it isn't I don't know what other movie you're dying to see... maybe Kung Fu Panda which also comes out this week (I do want to see that movie too)  From what I've been hearing is that Part 2 of the Hangover is going to live up to the hype.  Some say that is could be funnier than its predecessor, which not a lot of movies are able to do.  So here's a trailer for both movies coming out, The Hangover 2 and Kung Fu Panda.

   There are just so many movies I want to see this year.  There are a few movies I want to see because of the way they were filmed and some because they have really good writing.  Others I just want to see because of the entertainment value.  Take the new Transformer movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon.  This one looks like the first one and that means it's just a fun movie.  Big ass robots beating the crap out of things? I'm in.  Check out the trailer.

  One of the films I really want to see is called The Silent House.  It was released already back in April, but not in America.  So when they decide to release it here either on DVD or in theaters I'm going to see it.  The thing that caught my eye about this film is that it's shot in one continuous shot.  No post edit cuts stitched together, which is something I've never seen before.  I'm more curious to see how they pulled it off and if they were able to without it being cheesy.  Here's the trailer for it. 

Since that last one was a out of the blue choice I think I'll keep it going with this next movie.  It's called trip and it will most likely not be on many peoples movie radars.  It looks to be a funny misadventure of two traveling friends.  I'm a fan of Steve Coogan and he, and Rob Brydon, look to be very funny duo in this movie.  I'm sure after seeing the trailer some of you will want to see it too. 

  Ok ok let's get really obscure with movies I want to see and let's go with a movie called 'Beginners.'  This movie looks to be a heartfelt movie that will be very enjoyable to watch.  I don't know if I'll catch it in theaters, but if someone wants to go with me to see it I'll be more than willing to go.  It has one of my favorite actors Ewan McGreggor and it looks like it has a good plot. 

  Time for some comedies that look to be good for a casual movie night.  Horrible Bosses looks like it could be a winner.  The comedy is good and it has some smart dialogue.  Another good aspect of this movie is Jason Bateman is in it, along with Colin Farrell, and they usually don't do bad work... usually. Overall it looks to be a movie to get a few one liners and some good laughs. 

  One movie I'm quite interested in seeing later this year is "The Adventures of Tin Tin."  I've said it before and Tin Tin is the sh*t.  It was a British Cartoon show that was brought over to America.  It very entertaining and the movie coming out looks to be just as good as the show was.  Another exciting thing about it is that Steven Spielberg is the director behind it, so that can only mean awesome is the become of this movie.  

   This is only a small portion of the movies I want to see this year.  There were a few more that caught my attention, but I'll spare you some time.  There just seems like a lot of good movies are coming out this year and I want to see all of them.  I know that I'll have to wait till Redbox has them a few months after their theatrical release, but that's fine with me.  If anyone cares to join me in seeing any of these movies hit me up and I'll be willing to go, I'll even buy the popcorn.  

   Well this wraps up another boring ass post about the things floating in my head.  Thanks again for stopping by.  Take care and have a good day! Till next time.

Video Game Nerd Stuff

   Oh hey there.  I've come across a ton of things on the internet and a lot of them are themed towards video games and their consumers.  It's a different age we live in where video games aren't just for the nerds and geeks.  It's widely accepted and more of a norm now than before.  They are like movies, you go in get entertained and leave, just like video games.  Only difference is that you can control the outcomes.  I'd like to say I'm a fairly seasoned video game player, and not to toot my own horn but a very skilled one too.  Anyway I found some things that were inspired by video games and were weaved into the fabric of the social society.  

   This band made a music video purely based off video games.  There are so many video game references it's hard to keep up.  It's a pretty catchy song to boot, check it out. 

 It has things from Sonic the Hedgehog, Star Wars, Excite Bike, Duck Hunt, and the list goes on and on.  I tip my hat off to them for cramming dozens of things into this four minute video. 
   They even have art shows on video game art.  Some of these pieces are quite good and really take a artistic look into the world of video games.  Even though some people might argue that video games aren't art, this clearly proves that you can make art from them at least. 

 Donkey Kong

 Q-Bert

 Mario

DigDug

   This next video is one of my all time favorite mash ups.  It's from an animator name Paul Robertson and he is the ultimate crazy ass.  His stuff is over the top and overflowing with video game references.  This video is sorta weird, but entertaining nonetheless. 

   The video game scene has gotten so bad that even major cartoonists are referencing certain iconic characters.  Take Seth McFarlane, the creator of Family guy, he uses video game references all the time and this next clip is him poking fun at the original Super Mario game. 

   People always make funny skits about video games take this video that the funny folks at college humor have written.  It's very true about the logic of most video games. 

   If you're a gamer, embrace it.  If you aren't get with it, it's different times and video games are all around.  Hope that everyone is enjoying their week so far.  Till next time take care and thanks for stopping by.

Saving The Day

Quote(s) of The Day

If a tree falls on a woman and there is no one around to hear it, why was there a tree in the kitchen?

Facts are the enemy of truth

Character is what you have left when you've lost everything you can lose.

In love, it is better to know and be disappointed, than to not know and always wonder?

Here to Save The Day!

   Oh hey Shore Break readers.  While watching one of my favorite movies, Die Hard, I got to thinking how unrealistic that movie actually is.  But if you think about who you would want to save the world based on their movie persona, who would you choose?  I got to thinking, and these are my top eight movie heroes that I'd want to save me in a dire situation.

8.)  Mila Jovovich

  Mila is one tough chick.  Also she is very good looking.  If you don't know who she is, she plays a badass in the Resident Evil movie franchise.  She's a zombie killing machine and knows how to get the job done.  She also played an ass kicking ultimate being in the movie The Fifth Element.  In that movie she was literally called perfect, which isn't to far from the truth.  She knows how to take care of herself and knows how to save the day.  

7.)Chuck Norris

  I will probably die when Chuck Norris finds out he's only number seven on this list.  He is definitely a man I'd want to save the day, simply because he's rugged and is a big bucket full of win.  He won't take no sh*t from anyone, whether it be terrorists or otherwise.  Let me hit you with a few facts why he's so amazing.  

Chuck Norris can buy a Sad Meal at McDonald's.  Chuck Norris can cut through a hot knife with butter. Those are just a sample of the awesome that this man has.

6.)  Wesley Snipes

 The blackest man on Earth has real life experience to save the day.  Take for example his technique to not pay taxes and to actually know how to fight.  He also kills vampires without hesitation.  (I actually put him on this list as a form of affirmative action)

5.)  Harrison Ford

  Harrison Ford has saved the day on many occasions, destroying the death star, finding the holy grail thus saving his dying father, saved his family from terrorists on a plane.  All great attributes for getting on this list.  He knows how to rally people and can do it all in a fedora if needed.

4.) Daniel Craig

  When you play James Bond the way he does, I'd pick this man to save the world all the time.  He has swag and moxie.  When you play the best secret agent ever you can only hope that if you were ever in the situation to save the world that some of those skills will come in handy.  No matter the odds he will defy them and come through in a pitch.  Not even death can stop him, as he dies in one of the movies and miraculously gets brought back to life and saves the day.  Though some of his successes were more luck than skill, it's still pretty amazing. 

3.) The Rock

   Let's face it.  You will never be The Rock, and you will never find anyone that is more willing to save the world than this guy.  It might not be the safest way to save the planet, but he'll get the job done.  More than likely everything you own will be destroyed in the world saving process, but hey you'll be alive... barely

2) Bruce Willis

 This is the average Joe man that gets sh*t done.  He saved the world in the Fifth Element with Mila Jovovich and he stopped Hans Gruber the terrorist in Die Hard.  He later thwarted the plans of a mad bomber in New York city.  When it comes down to the bottom line, his grit, tenacity, and smarts will ultimately save the day and get everyone to safety.  

1) Arnold Schwarzenegger

 Come on, this mother f*cker has killed everything under the sun and things that didn't even live on our planet.  He's even taught kindergarten kids... when he isn't maliciously killing.  He's even protected the hopes and dreams of the future by going back in time and saving John Connor.  He isn't exactly the best choice for the job, but he has killed so many people he would do it without discourse or remorse.  He would be a robot for hire to kill and complete his objective.  Then after he finishes his mission he'll throw out a snarky quip that makes you cringe.

Soup and Tea For Me

     Oh hey.  Happy Aloha Friday once again, or as some would call it Rapture eve.  This is going to be an extremely short post today, because I'm coughing up stuff I didn't know the human body could produce.  It's pretty miserable coughing your lungs up and having your throat get raw.  It's only a matter of time before I start coughing up some of my precious blood.  I've been on meds and actually getting adequate amounts of sleep.  I just can't kick it.  The good thing is that I'm not breaking out in a fever or bed ridden, but it's just a gross feeling.  I do however want to setup a prank for tomorrow's big rapture.  Even if it did happen (just in case you're wondering it won't happen) I won't be getting a ticket up to the heavens above, cause quite frankly I'm a shitty person.  So back to the prank, I'm planning on setting up sets of my unwanted clothes and shoes and leave them arranged on sidewalks and lawns around my apartment complex.  It's probably going to be funnier for my apartment complex because most of them are Mexican, and their buddy Jesus isn't going to be taking them.  I knew that saving my old clothes and shoes would come in handy.  I will be taking pictures of this for my enjoyment and for the blog.  I don't know how Jesus could come down and not save everyone and how he could rain down hate and suffering for the people who aren't taken in the initial Rapture, I mean look at this picture. 

 

 

    Alright like I said this is going to be a short one, so take care everyone.  Stay healthy.  Laters

Before It's To Late

    Oh hey.  Sorry once again for not keeping current with things on this blog, but life has been hectic and I lost concentration. I'm going to try and make up for lost time by having quality post (well after this post) and interesting stories and adventures.  I'm working on some big things, and since I can't share it with just one person, I'm going to share it with the world.
    This might be a little strange for you reading it and for me writing it, but I thought of things that I would want to do before I die 250 years from now.  (Yes, I'm going to live that long.)  Chances are I won't be able to do all these things, but hey a man can dream.  All of these are real things that are quite possible, only thing is finding the money to do it.  Unlike so many of my other lists, this has no specific order to them.  They are literally just thrown together instead of listed from importance.  So let's jump right into it.

   These are just 50 of the things on that list.  There are more and I will post them on a later blog, but for now I wanted to keep it brief since I haven't been writing a lot lately.  I probably won't have another blog up for a couple days since I have a lot coming up, but I will be writing a lot more next week.  Stay tuned because big things are right around the corner.  I will be posting a video blog soon and hopefully some other great ideas will flood into my head by the time the next post is up. Till next time. Laters

The Teacher 

   Oh hey.  It's been a while since I last posted, but here I am again, on the prowl.  This might be a bit dated, but a few weeks ago Lyoto Michida of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) devastated a legend of the game, Randy Couture.  It ended by KO, front kick, via his inner Anderson Silva.  Unfortunately we can't give full credit to either Silva or Machida, simply because they had help.  They were taught by an Aikido master and self proclaimed master of the martial arts, Steven Seagal.  This is a great topic to cover because he is a great character.  You may think he is acting but this is how he really lives his life, which to me is amazing.
    First we have a video of him demonstrating his Aikido skills on what you have to believe are really terrible actors. (Just like himself)  I just can't see him being good at anything, but apparently he is just so good that he's bad.

When I watched this video I thought that there is no way that those guys weren't paid to flop around and make him look like a god. 
Well anyway it's true that he taught Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida because there is proof of him actually teaching them... video proof.  I don't know how many sessions they had or how intense the training was, but we can all agree that he must have done something right.

 In those videos you can actually see him teaching them the front kicks, which I guess were very potent kicks.  For some reason I can't see him being a student of the game.  I can see him teaching for some crazy reason though.  Every time I see him on T.V. I imagine him being some crazy martial arts guy that everyone knows is full of sh*t.  Something more like this (forgive the subtitles)

I had said this before on another media, but after what he did for Silva and Machida, I would have not been surprised to see Steven Seagal standing behind Obama during the press conference about Bin Laden's death.  We can only hope that when cancer is cured and when the AIDS virus is wiped out, that somehow Steven Seagal had his hand in it.  It would only make sense that a "great" man can accomplish so much in his lifetime.  I wait on bated breath for his next appearance in the world of martial arts, or the entertainment world.  If you really want to laugh at this guy then take a look at this video a friend of mine sent me and you'll realize that maybe we shouldn't pay any mind to him. 

  Alright well this wraps up another post and I'll see you next time.  More than likely with some fun things.  Take care and thanks again for reading my verbal diarrhea.
