F' you, again.  After seeing this picture of Sarah Palin and her hubby embracing Chick-fil-A bags as if to make a statement, I am now not going to eat there anymore. I hate boycotting stuff and acting like I am self rightous by not buying a bag of chicken, but the fact certain people are going out of their way to buy the damn chicken and tweets about it sickens me. I support gay marriage by not caring if people of the same sex want to hook up. I don't care. It doesn't bother me if people want to marry gay or straight. I find the concept of marriage period to be flawed.  Just let them have that right, because I am certainly not going to get married. Part of me really regrets not being able to eat their really good chicken, but I just can't stand pictures like this. (Plus, they really have cute counter girls taking your order.) So, long Chick, and thanks for all the Chicken. Hello, KFC!

Allison Niemeyer: Best mother of the world? (AKA No Child Left Behind) Man, this lady can run like it is no one's business. I mean we could use her for the Olympics for crap's sake. She must be tapping into that speed power that the Flash uses for his great speeds. From Huff Post, (( Officials say Allison Niemeyer, 19, and her sister, Laura Niemeyer, 22, started stuffing several items of clothing inside Allison's diaper bag, including one bathing suit, four women's shirts and some men's undershirts. )) Men's undershirts: I guess she was picking up a few things for her man too. There are a few things that make her a foolish criminal (allegedly). -She brought her one year old kid with her on the shoplifting spree: I guess keeping it all in the family. -When confronted by security, she took off and left her child in the shopping cart: Something tells me this kid won't be leaving her anything for Mother's Day. -She decided to...

Mindy Meyer Running for office: We all lose Yes, I went to her site and I want to stab my ears out because of the bad remix of “I'm Sexy and I know it”. Her site literally looks like a throwback to the those annoying MySpace pages from back in early 2000s. I guess someone had too much money and supports her campaign. Is this for real? From her horrible pink website, (( A lifelong Flatbush resident, Mindy is the first young woman in the history of New York to run for New York State Senate. The Orthodox Jewish woman, aged 22, is the candidate for both the Republican and Conservative party lines. Mindy intends to utilize her religious values and moral compass as her guide. "I can tell you one thing, I have no experience in corruption," said Meyer. "This is how politics has to change. There is always corruption, but I have the intention to follow my values and ensure that none of what happens in my district is corrupt." )) I guess she might be...

The Dark Knight Rises (Part 1 of 3) The Dark Knight Rises is a very entertaining wrap up to the Nolan Batman trilogy.  While I am torn if this is better the second movie, this one wraps up many of the threads and themes from the first movie nicely.  To be fair, this movie is closer to a sequel to Batman Begins than The Dark Knight.  Not everything gets paid off, but you will be leaving the theater feeling the story is complete.  There were a few emotional scenes where I was a bit misty-eyed.  I am not going to lie. The movie is very good, but there are a few plot flaws.  But, I really loved the movie.  Basically, it has been eight years since the second movie and Gotham city is a cleaner city with police actually winning the war on crime.  Batman hasn’t been seen in those eight years.  Bruce Wayne has been recluse too.  Suddenly, a powerful villain named Bane appears and turns the city upside down.  Think of Bane as the lead...

Random Things ~Chrono Break: Do you remember when there was talk of a new Chrono Trigger game way back in 2001? Square trademarked the name Chrono Break in both the US and Japan, and fans of the series got wind of it and went crazy. Square isn't really into other RPGs other than Final Fantasy spin-off. ~No Chicken, or they just out of Chicken? Oh, boy. ~ YOLO: You only live once . Really, you have to acronym for this stupid phrase? I had no idea why this became so popular. I hated it when it was only, “You only live once”. Hey, try this crack, you only live once. Make sure to read the Live Twitter of every dumbass that uses YOLO in their feed.  I'm too old for this shit.   ~I am working on a Dark Knight Rises review, just a bit busy.  Speaking of the new movie,  ~Nudity on YouTube. King Fantastic made a music video starring Kristina Rose NSFW. Don't be too surprised when she gets completely naked and takes two showers and d...

Well, I kind of understand...Not that I really care, but... After looking at this picture, is there any wonder why Kristen Stewart cheated on Rob? It looks like a cross between a hobbit and cave troll you put on your dashboard.  I mean could imagine waking up beside that monster?  (Keep in mind this is coming from an ugly person who writes blogs about people that are richer than I.) I personally don't find her that attractive. I see her being that plain girl at the coffee shop that takes your order and is pissed she is taking orders. She's that girl that is a cross of a hipster/grunge/goth.  Now, I am not saying I'd pass it up if she offered, but let's call it like it is.  I'd take    Sookie Stackhouse  over her any day. Hey, this is good press for that new Twilight movie. On second thought, I am almost wondering if this whole thing is just a set up anyway . Hmm... Anyway, I am going to love watching the awkward press junkets.   ...

RIP Sherman Hemsley (AKA George Jefferson) It looks like all my syndicated TV show stars are dying recently. From People.com, (( Hemsley died at his home in El Paso, Texas, police say. A cause of death was not immediately known.  )) I remember watching re-runs of The Jeffersons as a child. I watched this with Different Strokes. I really liked seeing a black family “make it” and move into a richer neighborhood (A deluxe apartment in the sky) And, yes the show was a spinoff from the popular TV show All in the Family. And the Jeffersons was on the air for 11 seasons. Holy crap . Anyway, RIP George. You can't go wrong with the theme song right? I love this song.

Christian Bale: A truly great guy... Bale actually visited with some of the victims during his visit to Aurora. This guy has had some anger issues, but he's been really knocking it out of the park recently. Remember, he stood up to some Chineseofficers during his visit to China recently . He also visited the Memorial outside the theater. From SF Gate (( Bale also stopped by a growing memorial near the theater and walked among the 12 crosses erected for each of the slain victims. Many people there didn't realize who he was or chose to leave him alone. ))

DJ Paris Hilton: This is probably the worst DJ-ing I've ever heard... Brazil, please tell me no one paid to go see her practice her DJ Skillz? And, she decided to sing with her track. This shit is really bad folks. It sickens me to see her fall into yet another profession she has no interest in fully learning. She was a terrible pornstar. Her acting career was short-lived, and her singing career was bad. I guess she thought she'd become a DJ after having sex with a real DJ. The best part is even her former DJ boy disses her. From Guardian, (( Luckily, her collaborator DJ Afrojack was on hand to offer his unreserved backing for her latest career choice: "I saw and I was like … ugh," he enthused. "I think it's really important that if you go in front of a crowd and DJ, you actually take the time and practise becoming a DJ. You can't just … wave a flag. Also, it was pre-recorded. I'm not supposed to say that, my management...

A friend posted this on her FB page, I really like her and we see a lot of things eye to eye. But, I totally disagree with this photo below. This “discussion” is not that simply by making a straw man argument via a poster. This is the reason I kind of hate Facebook...Half-assed political statements. (on both left and right sides) I have a few conservative friends that are fierce gun people. Whenever someone shoots someone, they come out of and post things like this. While I am actually supporter of people having guns, I am not for making them easier to own eps on a mass level. Part of the street violence problem, not the crazy loner shooting people problem, isn't legal guns but illegal weapons flooding the streets. It is the crazy people getting three or four weapons with vests and armor piercing bullets that I have a problem with,  When someone has the methods for doing a mass shooting, and protection against police officers, I think need t...

Early thoughts for The Dark Knight Rises First off, I really loved the movie. I am now siding with this being better than the second movie. I'll have a proper view soon. I am just a little busy now. -Theater Exit: I keep looking away from the screen down to the theater exit hoping no stupid knucklehead came in. I hate the fact I am worrying about some copycat trying to ruin this for me. In the words of SF, F' you, James Holmes. -I was impressed with the way they handled Bane. We can finally forget this image of Bane from Batman and Robin. -I am now torn who is more hotter in leather pants Anne Hathaway or Scarlett Johansson because they are both amazing women.  Hathaway handle herself really well as Catwoman.  She is much better than the Batman Returns one.  

Michelle Jenneke: Now this is cute That smile, that body, I think I am in love. Damn she's cute. She has become a meme in a manner of speaking as millions of dudes have watched this video of her (And some girls). They call her   "The Hottest Hurdler Ever." More female hurdlers need to warm up like this. When I warm up, I never look this good. It usually starts with a crack and then a fart . Also, please note the confused girls in the back. She knows how to Smang it . This made my day. ( source )

And, now it begins...again. After the horrible shooting at the Dark Knight Rises opening in Aurora, we're already getting the left leaning blowback with people trying to connect the violence to movies and video games. Hey, how about the fact this guy was armed to the teeth or the fact he was mentally disturbed? People stop overreacting and go see the damn movie. Don't let some f'ed up asshole ruin your weekend.  El Presador pretty much sums up my thoughts about the incident.  Usually, these guys usually kill themselves and he didn't.  He wanted to put his mark on the world with this attack.  

Top Cat: The Movie? How did this movie even get green-lit? For some strange reason, this Hanna-Barbera character is very popular in the Spanish-speaking community. The kicker is this cheap movie was a huge hit in Mexico. It broke records in Mexico. Oh, it hasn't been confirmed for a US/Canada release. Something tells me the studio knows it will get creamed here in North America. Oh, and take a look at the Wiki page with the plot. It has one of the longest plot synopsis e ver!

Whatzupwitu: Eddie Murphy and MJ. And, you thought Norbit and Pluto Nash were bad. You know it's Hip 90s because it has a “z” thrown in there. As mentioned in this Cracked story, Michael Jackson had nothing to do with the song, and just came in to do backup stuff. Eddie Murphy's ego was too big for him not to try another stupid comeback with this music. He tried it earlier with Party All the Time. I guess all the house/dance beats from 90s gave him to idea to try it again . The video has all the lame aspects of “world music” that replaced much of MJ's music in his later career. Eddie from his “Raw” days would have made fun of this Eddie Murphy. This song came from Eddie's album Love's Alright from 93 . The album ended up being a flaming turd on the charts. This ended his singing career again. All the songs are bad on the album, and I've listened to them all. Did I mention that this 'colorful' video was inspired by the awful a...

Justin Bieber's Rolling Stone Magazine cover (Manly) Okay, there are so many things wrong with this cover, but Bieber himself inflicted this new RS on us via Twitter. From MTV , (( The pop star retweeted the cover photo after a fan got her RS   copy in the mail and  tweeted   out a photo of it. The headline reads, "Hot, Ready, Legal," and the accompanying photo shows a much more mature version of the singer than his fans might be used to. )) There is something disturbing about the title “Hot Ready and Legal” because that sounds like a damn porn series than a cover name. This poor attempt must be a media move on his team's part to make him appear to be more mature. From MTV , (( And in the accompanying interview with the magazine, the singer, now 18, admits he's feeling a bit older since becoming legal. )) No shit. You're supposed to feel older smart ass. Why do all his interviews sound like Teen Beat magazine interviews? You can...

Thomas Jane as the Punisher…again…sort of… Warning, this short film is bloody and violent.  However, it is as cool as hell.  This is the Punchier movie we wanted after the origin story.   Yes, the extended cameo by Ron Perlman was cool.  I personally liked the 2004 version of the Punisher.  Jane was spot on as the character.  When they were doing Punisher War Zone, he was up for the part.  He read the script and told them “no”.  So, they rebooted the series yet again for a third time! The Official title is Dirty Laundry, but it is a Punisher movie.  It is unofficially a sequel to that 2004 movie. Jane made this movie as a love letter to the fans and pet project for himself.   I don’t have my hopes up for a proper sequel to the 2004 movie.  Anyway, I liked this short film, if it is a little bit too bloody, yeah for even a Punisher movie.  (Well, DC's Hitman was pretty bloody too.)

Tom Cruise Wife Auditions Everything about this skit is spot on.  -The Harry Potter bit is funny. -The voice on Emma Stone bit was spot on.  -The actor doing Tom Cruise is spot on.  -One of the questions has to be, "Do you believe in a Warlord named Xenu?" Everyone said something like this happened way back when Katie started “dating” Cruise.  We will never know.  But there will be a Cruise Wife 4.0 or 4.5.   Side Note, every picture of Katie Holmes now has her smiling and enjoying life.  

Popeye’s Chicken brings the worst out of people?  Him pushing that woman would have made me want to hit him.  The other people showed great restraint.  -Why does he keep using the hand sanitizer? -I love that the cell phone recorder is upset she didn’t get her chicken.  -So, this guy ends up in jail because they didn’t instantly have his rice. Look, I’ve been pissed off because the fast food place was slow, but this is a bit too far.   Remember this?  Man, Popeyes’ just makes us look bad. Yes, this video makes me cringe every time I see it. 

A re-edited Batman and Robin trailer (not too bad) This actually makes Batman and Robin look like a compelling piece of film instead of a compelling piece of crap. I would have cut out the first few seconds with the girlfriend of Bruce. It is a great edit by Jeremy Jahns. I found it through his funny B&R review. However, not enough editing could ever fix this mess of a movie.  Screw you, Joel Schumacher.

Wreck-It Ralph Yep, Disney is making a video game-based animated movie. It has a bit of Toy Story vibe to it and a bit of Kingdom Hearts. We get to see the VG world once the arcade closes. The movie is clearly a throwback to the original games from the 80s. And, I find that very cool. I am not sure the Tumblr-Twitter kids of this age will understand or like the movie, but we'll see. The movie uses licensed characters from other games. And, that's also a Kingdom Hearts thing. Check out the site based on the movie. By the way, you can play the actual game on the site. I've been playing it for a while. The ducks are invincible. - Zangief   Good to see him in the game. -I read Mario is not in the movie because he would have cost too much. I'm thinking he will be in the movie.  

Listening to The Dark Knight Rises score (a few thoughts) I must break the Bat.  I personally think James Newton Howard should have came back for the last film since he co-wrote the scores for the earlier films. You could clearly hear the differences between the two composers in the scores, but they blended in well. For this new score, Zimmer goes in alone for the composing duties. I really do like this score a lot because Zimmer added the Bane chanting. You can hear the chanting throughout the score. I don't think the score is as diverse as the first two scores and that's a problem. However, the action cues are very impressive. And the Bane and other new themes are very cool. The two note Batman theme is back, but there might be another hero theme added in there too.  It also appears there is a Catwoman theme in the score too.   Is the low toned cue and the Bane Chanting a part of the same theme? My favorite track has to be Imagine T...

Skinny Jeans...My Thoughts exactly... How does one sit with jeans that tight or ride a bike (fixed gear)? You can't even walk fast! Word .  Nothing pisses me off more than seeing some young hipster with these tight ass pants on and wearing a old Transformers shirt. If you're a dude and wearing skinny jeans, you need to knock it off . We have equipment down there. Please bring the baggy jeans back. Heck I'll take guys sagging more than d-bags wearing tight pants. And, now dumb-asses are wearing them so tight that men are having problems with their balls . There are some amusing remarks by this blogger that I agree with too . It doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, don't squash your goods trying to be hip or trendy. And, I am starting to really see the fat guys with the huge gut and chin beard donning these things now. No, no, hell no. Is this what women are into?  Seeing your junk smashed and squashed into un-godly shap...

Buxom Bandit: Please rob me? "That's not a knife, these are boobs" I was going to write about this story a few days ago. The Young Turks brought it up again. However, I didn't know that the Buxom Bandit flashed her “cold cuts”.  The cashier threw cigarettes at her in response.  As far as mating rituals go, I don't think that's the proper response to a woman flashing you.  Neither is it the correct response when someone robs you, throwing products that are very soft and costly.  (I'm not talking about her fake boobs either.) From the Huffington Post, (( Security footage of a voluptuous blonde in a low-cut top robbing a gas station probably made the unidentified suspect one  of the country's "most wanted" criminals. Now, Tonee Walker has turned herself in, claiming to be that thief. )) Look after seeing a bunch of fat guys wanting a pack of cigarettes or big gulps, this was probably a treat for him.  The only that wo...

Random Stuff ~Miley Cryus, I am getting a little sick of your tabloid stories. It seems she being known more for her wild nights out drunk or her completely panty-less short-shorts. Really, you actually make sure to bend over in front of the photo guys to show off your ass . Come on. We get it, you want to show that you're not the Disney girl anymore. Now just start making music again. ~Pretty good Game of Thrones impressions. This is the way! ~Final Fantasy Tactics: I've played up to the Deep Dungeon (side quest of the game). And I've gotten every side character with exception of the one from the DD. DD is a very hard side quest to play because the monsters are very strong. I don't remember exactly how I beat the DD back in the 90s when I beat the game the first time. This game does make me want to play the undated version of the game. (PSP version or the fan made versions) Side Note: The Deep Dungeon has some strange random battles ...
