The Golden Raspberry Nominations Part 2 Worst Supporting Actor   Chris Brown in Battle of the Year as Rooster: Yeah, Brown really “beat out” a lot people for this role. All jokes aside, did anyone even see this dance movie? Aren't these hip-hop dance movies out of style? Larry the Cable Guy in A Madea Christmas as Buddy: People, stop giving this one trick pony work. First that Pixar movie and now this thing. Stop just stop, Larry. I hope he wins because he might actually show up to receive the award. Taylor Lautner in Grown Ups 2 as Frat Boy Andy : This guy is still acting? Will Smith in After Earth as Cypher Raige : Again, I like Will Smith when he not hawking his crazy religious beliefs and his talentless children. However, having M. Knight and the smell of Battlefield Earth on your movie simply doesn't help. And, where was your rap song tie-in? Wiki Wild Wild After Earth. Nick Swardson in Grown Ups 2 and A Haunted House as N...

I was touched by CCOKC...in a special way Couldn't agree more. Child Celebrities Opposing Kirk Cameron. Look, Cameron is a douche and has only gotten worst with age. He truly believes this shit.  BTW, was that old sitcom really that good? Thumbs up for the Omar (The Wire) shout out.  Hat tip to Reddit videos .  I wonder if they would have gotten Gary Coleman if he was still alive? 

That's 300 days in jail 300 days, enjoy that stay. I love that she was angry with the notion of leaving her home when the other people show up to the house. Does she know how to keep your mouth shut.? She doesn't realize how bad it is to spend time in jail compared to prison. Jails are short term and prisons are long term and built for that.  I have a family member that is spending an extended period in jail not prison.  The fact she knows about commissary means she's been in jail/prison a few times. Learn to keep your mouth shut and not get the last word in and stop acting ghetto while in court. The judge is the king when he's in his courtroom.  Did she want to stay in jail instead of paying rent?  

Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode 2 Trailer -Atlas in the flesh: We finally get to see the version of Atlas as the workers' leader in the flesh. Though we already know he's someone else...(clears throat) Fontaine. -Don't trust Atlas, Elizabeth. -The Little Sister survived: So, she wasn't roasted like a turkey. -Booker is a ghost?: It appears this Booker is ghost that knows everything. -So Atlas gets back to the surface and starts his civil war.   

Scarf Guy is an ass Hey, Scarf Guy, just because you're on camera doesn't mean you have to mug for it. Not every moment is a opportunity to mug you trendy hipster. Keep in mind this happened during the mall shooting press conference. Nice hair, a-hole. Maybe I hate this guy for his style choices and attitude as well.

The Golden Raspberry Nominations are here Because I love to shit on shitty work, here are a few of the noms and my commentary on them . These are the movies from 2013. Worst Picture After Earth   : Holy, crap did everyone take a dump on this movie. I hate the fact that Will Smith keeps trying to shove his untalented children in our faces and failing. And, don't get me started with the Scientology bullshit meshed into the story as well. Smooth move, Will. I like you will, but you need to move away from that religion for your own good. And, I love that the studio went out of its way to remove M. Knight from all promotional materials. They asked everyone not to mention that M. Knight was directing. Uh, you all hired him. Grown Ups 2   : Did anyone ask for a sequel to the plot-less first movie? Adding Shaq to your movie also doesn't help either. Now the movie made a lot of money worldwide, but why exactly was the budget 80 million bucks? Really, Sandler? ...

Justin Bieber arrested Christmas came early for me. I’ve gone from not caring about this guy to really hating him. His actions have gone beyond being a douche to being a super douche. He got what he deserved and luckily no one was hurt. Supposedly, his people blocked off traffic on the streets so that he could drag race. Uh, who gave you the right to block off traffic, Justin? This is what I mean about being a self entitled asshole. Throwing eggs at house and pissing in a mop bucket are things that someone does because they believe they can get away with it. And, I have no doubt nothing big will come of this other than a large fine.  However, this should be a wake up call for his fans and his parents.  Someone has to take control of him before he really does hurt someone with his reckless behavior. He also needs endure the sharp decline in fame as well, which doesn't seem to be happening fast enough. And that mug shot, it's like the cop handed him a sof...

Xbox One and Machinima: XB1M13 From Polygon, (( Microsoft would pay content producers a $3 CPM bonus (an extra $3 per thousand video views) if they posted a video with at least 30 seconds of Xbox One gameplay footage in the first two minutes, and verbally mentioned they were playing on an Xbox One. )) Microsoft, why are you doing this strange marketing campaign? But, who is to blame for this PR disaster? Microsoft just can't get a break. Paying people to promote your product is one thing, but the big problem is the non-disclosure of your payment from Mach and MS. You have to put the tag XB1M13 in order to get your 3 bucks and meet your view requirements. Not disclosing you're getting paid for your positive video is actually illegal . I also have a problem with the term “stealth marketing”. There's free marketing and paid marketing I think MS wanted it both ways. Here are some of the points to in order to get your 3 whole bucks . ((2. ...

Hidden Valley: I'd actually buy this... It almost seems real. I want my house to smell like Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing. God, bless you Reddit .  More like Found Valley Dressing. 

Geek Culture II: The Geek-ening    I wrote two comment postings on the blog about Geek Culture. Make sure to read MC's counterpoint to my posting over there, because it is a good point of view . (I really need to stop typing POV because it means something else in the Porn culture and I keep thinking about that when I type POV.) I was a child with a lot social problems growing up and a lot of attitude. I had trouble with learning things like math and had to take speech classes to stop the stuttering. I found myself spending more hours by myself and playing with toys alone than most kids. I couldn't relate to the other kids, so I turned inward. One of the bright spots, was getting a model of the X-Wing Fighter from Star Wars A New Hope.   My imagination exploded with me playing with the X-Wing outside my house, flying it around. Later, I would get a really detailed Enterprise D die cast model that even had a separation mode where you could pull a...

Random Things ~ Batman vs. Superman delayed: There are a lot of rumors that there is a lot of trouble behind the scenes during the pre-production. There are rumors that the movie might changing into a Justice League movie. All this trouble in making a DC universe just isn't a good sign that they don't know what they're doing. BTW, why not fold the Green Arrow TV series into the Superman/Batman universe? It works for the Marvel universe. Why would they cast the skinniest woman as the Amazon Wonder Woman?   She can bulk up I guess now that she has some time.    ~ Palin “Stop playing the race card, Obama” on MLK: What in the hell? Where did that come from, Sarah. Has he played the race card recently? I don't think so. I really wish she would just shut up sometimes. She really doesn't have anything intelligent to say.    ~ Rob Ford is at it again: This time drunk while at a restaurant. It is at this point that he needs to get some...

Thank you, Foamy. Geek Culture Yes, really geeks don't get the hot chicks and we are socially awkward. When did geek culture become popular? Was it the Xbox and PS3 age? Remember when the cool kids would make fun of you for playing games all the time? Now, the guy-dude-bros play Call of Duty and Madden all day.  Now, everyone has heard of the Final Fantasy series. And, I actually do the Tom Baker test on new “Dr. Who” fans. I encountered an attractive girl claiming to be a Dr. Who fan and I asked her about Tom Baker. She actually passed the geek test and said she loved Baker as well. You can also do this test on Transformers fans too. And, if a person claims to be a DBZ fan, see if they think most of the movies are in continuity with the show. (Most of them are not.) 

Jack Reacher (2012)  Tom: "If I hear one more Xenu joke..." Stupid name for a movie and the character, but the movie is actually entertaining. The movie is based on a series of by British writer Lee Child and they based this movie on the book One Shot in the series. Part John Grisham, part detective story, part action movie; the movie handles both aspects well. There are a few clichés here and there that tend to be annoying, but it doesn’t overshadow the movie or take you out of the story. When a sniper shoots up a bunch of people, the man accused of the crime asks for Jack Reacher to show up. Reacher is a former MP Before Reacher can talk to him; the suspect ends up in coma. Jack and a defense lawyer must piece together what happened that day. What was the real reason behind the crime? I may hate Tom Cruise for his involvement in that kooky church, but damn he does put a lot into many of his roles. He actually gives a shit about his character. I truly...

Kellen Winslow: You can't keep it in your pants...literally From SI.com, ((NJ.com  reports  court documents reveal police were called to the scene in a Target parking lot because a woman alleged she saw Winslow masturbating in his vehicle )) First off, you're rich. Why aren't you knee-deep in a pack of groupies? Second, why are you masturbating in a parking lot at Target? Do you “get off” on low prices and car fumes? Hey, Winslow, there's this thing called the Internet that will provide you with a cornucopia of porn and spank material. A Target parking lot is not ideal location for such tomfoolery. Maybe tomfoolery is his thing too... Pump 1 pump 2 Now, let's get to the witness. From NJ.com, ((As she exited her vehicle, she commented to the male regarding how cold it was. As she stood near the open driver side window of the Escalade, she observed the males [ sic ] erect penis. She stated that she believed he was masturbating. [The woman] ...

Random things  ~ Hit and Run Leaf Pile: You read that right . A 19 year old girl was driving a SUV ended up driving through a pile of leaves when she ran over two young girls who were hiding inside. She actually heard a thump, but thought nothing of it. The problem was she didn't come forward after learning of the accident that caused her to be found guilty. After the accident, the 19 year went to Wal-Mart and got ice cream. Her boyfriend even took the SUV to the car wash . Yes, that's extremely low, I wouldn't be able to do anything let alone conceal evidence or go out for ice cream.That's pretty heartless.  By the way, what are you doing driving a suv through someone's piled up leaves?   ~ Three-Wheel Car AKA Elio Motors New Car : I call it a tricycle and ugly. And, you better believe that hundreds of hipsters will start buying this car. It is a fuel economy type car, and that's a good thing. However, too many annoying people will make t...

Lena Dunham, you're partly correct and partly wrong I am actually one of those people that will never be attractive in the conventional manner. Women have never found me attractive mostly, so I know I am not one of the good looking people. Plus, I keep as much clothing as I can on in public. I am in that same boat as Lena as far as being unconventional and not falling in today's standards of attractiveness. However, there is more to her response that troubles me. It is a very loaded response. Lena Dunham is correct is showing a woman taking off their clothes in their normal life as the show displays. I actually find that interesting, and to be fair she isn't at all unattractive. If the show actually centered on an “real” ugly person that kept getting naked, would it be so popular? I'd say no. There really isn't anything ugly about people. I find Lena to be appealing as any other woman and I would date her, if her attitude was better. I just fee...

Armond White gets kicked out of that Critics group  From The Hollywood Reporter , (( Armond White , the film critic for CityArts who allegedly heckled director Steve McQueen , has been expelled from the New York Film Critics Circle, the organization confirmed Monday. )) He received what he deserved. White, for his part, claims that he was just talking among his entourage at the table and not heckling the director. That maybe so, but I am sure he wanted everyone to hear his conversation with his peeps. Oh, and he's also blamed us bloggers for spreading the lies. Thank you, Armond. For my part, I will let you listen to Armond's side of the incident at Slash Film.com. One person wrote why he voted to remove White from the group in EW.com . For shits and giggles, read his review on the really bad movie Jonah Hex. I can't believe he wrote that review with a straight face . As I wrote before, I am all for shitting on someone's work if the...

Warm Bodies   The concept of a love story between a zombie and a living chick seems like a stupid premise for a movie. It actually works in its quirky way in Warm Bodies. Part Twilight and part parody, Warm Bodies straddles that line finely. Thankfully, it never crosses either one too hard with exception of a few moments in the third act. I am shocked that I liked the movie as much as I did. Warm Bodies is set in a post-apocalyptic world were zombies have taken over and humans live in well-guarded encampments. The young people will go out into the doomed cities in order to gather supplies. One group encounters a zombie group and two individuals from both sides find themselves connected to each other. A portion of this movie’s story is based on Romeo and Juliet while some of the more soapy moments are taken from Twilight. I mean the concept of a young lady falling in love with a rotting corpse is so out there that it works, damn it. The movie is makin...
