Some great The Rock Moments MC has been talking about wrestling of late, and got me to thinking about the second time in my life I started to get back into watching the wrestling. It was around the time when The Rock was becoming a good guy and Stone Cold Steve Austin was at the height of his career. Wrestling sort of fell out of favor with me a few years after that. But, there was something about The Rock. He seemed to always give 100% in his pre-ring interviews. Here are a few I found funny The Rock flirts with Lilian Garcia Comment: I freaking love this clip. He flirts with her until she gives in. The People's Strudel is just brilliant. I need to use this line on a woman some time. Rock and HHH Comment: The Rock makes fun of HHH's facial gestures. The Rock & The Hurricane : I don't have a clue who this Hurricane, but this is funny moment. “Hey, it's Nothing. He knows you.” Hulk Hogan and The Rock and Kane : I really like this moment...

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventures Cartoon show Holy Crap, I’ve completely forgotten about this show. Somehow, I’ve blocked this crappy show from my mind. But, now I remember this piece of crap after watching this mess on Youtube. Every plot in the first season involved them going back in time and solving problems. Here’s the kicker, the actual actors from the movie portrayed most of the voices. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter reprise their roles in the first season. However, the show lasted only two seasons. The first season was created by Hanna-Barbera , and the character models and animation was okay. DiC Entertainment took over for the second season, and I don’t have to remind anyone about how bad DiC is as a company. It seems every movie or show had a cartoon counterpart. Extra stuff, Black Knight 1 / 2 / 3 . You can watch full episodes of the show from here . Further reading. Here and here . But if you think that was bad, just wait for another pos...

Billy Mays dead at 50 years old ((Television pitchman Billy Mays likely died of a heart attack in his sleep, but further tests are needed to be sure of the cause of death, a medical examiner said Monday. Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Vernard Adams said Mays suffered from hypertensive heart disease, and the wall of the left ventricle of Mays' heart and the wall of one of his arteries were enlarged.)) This was a total shock. I started to notice an increase in Google searches involving Billy Mays. The Blue-Shirted guy is gone. Sure he yelled a lot, but he kept your attention. I only have some of his OxiClean products, the stuff that is sold in the store. Surprisingly, the Oxi stuff works really good. Speaking of OxiClean, the company has a statement up about his death . ((“We are shocked and saddened by the untimely passing of Billy Mays, who served as OxiClean spokesperson for more than a decade and who deserves much of the credit for making OxiClean a household...

Best Sport Mashup Remix Ever (We in here talking about practice) Somehow, Iverson is amazing in this remix. The Auto-tune is great. “We talking about Practice” This is the same guy that did the Rap Chop video and the McCain remix. ( djsteveporter )

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Transformers II) Revenge is a deeply flawed, but an entertaining movie. Sure it has more action, but the plot is a little confusing, in a Michael Bay way. Revenge is fun and in some ways better than the first movie and in some ways worst. The movie is set two years after the events of the first movie. The Autobots are working with the world governments to bring down the Decepticons throughout Earth. Sam Witwicky goes to college and starts to lose his mind. Things get blown up and robots fight. You don’t go into a Transformers movie for the plot. You go in for the big f’ing robots that fight each other and turn into cars and jets. That’s part of the problem with the movie. There is certainly 50% more badass moments in this film, but there are some moments that are so bad that even Michael Bay should have put a stop to it. I shook my head more than a few times in disgust. When the movie works, there are some amazing ...

It is time for Perez Hilton to go away...( Read it here for the latest crap storm .) Is this the year of Perez Hilton? No matter how much we want to forget him, he keeps popping up a like bad case of the bacon burps (those nasty burps you get when you eat bacon). Sometimes it is hard to keep up with all the spoiled antics. -He found himself involved in that Carrie Prejean scandal, which he helped start. -He somehow got his ass kicked by the wimpiest hip-hop group ever created called the Black Eyed Peas. Why don't you pick a feud with someone meaner like 50 Cent? -GLAAD forced him to apologize. He, a gay man, had to apologize for a gay slur he made to guy that is apparently not gay, but this person had someone beat up Perez because he used the slur. Does any of this make sense? -Somehow, twitter king John Mayer got involved in the feud. They tweet each other in a battle of tweets. (Now, I'm really getting confused) -He's suing the manger for emotional dis...

The Last Airbender Teaser Trailer (Teaser) You know what? I actually like this trailer. I really like the last few seconds. That doesn’t mean the movie won’t be crap though. Can M. Night Shyamalan even get enough butts into the seats after all the crap he’s been coming out with recently? The last movie was pure floating crap. Killer plant gas? I would think he’d keep his damn name off the movie logo in order to give this movie a chance to make it. Is M. Night Shyamalan’s ego so big that he has to have it plastered over the logo? He’s no Spielberg or Lucas, and neither of them really have their names on the logos of their movie much.

Hey, she believes in Xenu. Cracked.com has a great article on Five Newest Scientology Celebrity Recruits . Some of them I knew about, but some are real shockers. Here a few worth noting. Will Smith: I knew he was slowly becoming one. He started to make silly comments about marriage counseling. He also built a school based on L. Ron Hubbard’s teaching. We probably should have seen this one coming because he’s been fighting aliens for years now. (MIB and ID4) I’m starting to lose respect for the Fresh Prince. Hey, I even forgave him for Wild,Wild West . Janeane Garofalo: This one is a total shock to me. I always saw Garofalo as being an atheist. She started to promote a flux science center called New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project . I'm surprised she would get herself caught up in this mess . I've never been a fan of her, but this is really disappointing. ( Video ) Sarah and Todd Palin: It seems they're connected to a certain famous Xenu law...

Michael Jackson is dead at age 50 (RIP MJ) From MTV.com, (( Michael Jackson died Thursday afternoon (June 25) at the age of 50 after suffering cardiac arrest, according to the Los Angeles Times. Reports say the legendary pop singer suffered cardiac arrest at his home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills and was not breathing and had no pulse when paramedics arrived after a 911 call around 12:26 p.m. PT. They administered CPR in the ambulance but were unable to revive him. At the hospital, staff attempted to resuscitate Jackson, but he was unresponsive. )) I only heard about his death only a hour ago. I was riding my bicycle back to my car and a guy that just parked in the parking lot his car told me. “Did you know Michael Jackson died?” he asked. I at first thought it was just one of those rumors. “Really? I didn't think that would happened.” It started to sink in. As I strapped my bike on my car, I thought about that time when I would play his Thrill...

Random Stuff ~ The Friend Zone : A place where you are guaranteed to never get laid. This is mainly because you're locked onto one woman that merely views you as a friend, so you don't look around for other women. She may even let you see her in her underwear, but that's all you're getting. Yes, I've been to the friend zone many times, and tried to shift it to the F'ing buddies system, they never worked. ~ Watched another episode of True Blood : They're really moving rather fast with the story in the second season. I've learned one thing about vampires. You don't mess with them because they will rip you to shreds. Pretty everyone in that 'prison' is dead, being ripped apart. We also find out why newly formed vampires can't go back to their families. ~ Tim Burton shows off pictures of his Alice in Wonderland : I'm sure the movie will look amazing, but I am also certain the story is going to be dumb and underwritten. ...

Rap Chop Even More remixes (and a strange Billy Mays video) I'm really enjoying people morphing this song into strange remixes C-Storm remix Comment: This one reminds me of Mega Man for some reason. It sounds like something out of a NES game. One Hand Remix It's easy, one hand and Chop, Chop, Chop. Should have been longer. Billy Mays and Lazytown remix : I think might be truly be inappropriate, but what the hell... M ake sure to watch this guy playing the Haddaway 'What is love?' on the piano: It is pretty good. I didn't think you could take a dance-heavy song into a piano song. I guess I was wrong.

Scrubs: They're doing what with the show? As I was reading through Forces of Geek, I came across a post about a format c hange in the show Scrubs . So, they're going to shift the show away from the hospital to the classroom. Medical school will be the focus. My first thought was Parker Lewis Can't Lose , and then followed by Fame. From TV Guide , (("It's going to be a different show," creator Bill Lawrence told EW's Ausiello . "It'll still be life-and-death stakes, but if the show is just Scrubs again in the hospital with a different person's voiceover, it would be a disaster, and people would be mad." )) I can see his point, but why not simply make it a spinoff instead? Will fans still follow the show after the format change? I do like that they're keeping Dr. Cox, because he's the best thing about that show.

Neda Agha-Soltan (how Web 2.0 moves fast) I try to keep everything upbeat on this blog and try to keep things witty, but I felt it was necessary to comment on this story. I watched the video of the young Iranian woman that was shot and killed. It was one of the most shocking videos ever, because we watched her die. I’m usually a jaded guy and there aren’t many things that move me. But this clip did. I was got angry and I wanted Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to step down. ( Here's that video. Keep in mind there is a lot of blood. ) Neda has become the face of the new movement in Iran. Despite there being a ban on News coverage of the protesting, her name has been released and spread across the Internet. And, on the Internet everything moves at lightening speed. Her name and image started to show up on Facebook and Youtube. I remember watching the video and wondering what was her name. Then, I thought, we’ll get some information on her, I’m sure in the coming days...

W hat do Wolverine, Fox, and Scientology have in common ? I’m not sure but the story coming out about that infamous Roger Friedman that found himself fired from his job working at Fox for reviewing a leaked copy of the Wolverine movie. Now, Roger is blaming Xenu and his Space Church for his so called wrongful firing. Taken from the link above, ((Friedman is convinced that was a cover story. Last August, Friedman went to Memphis for the funeral of his friend and R&B legend Isaac Hayes , who was a Scientologist. Preston was also in town for the funeral. Friedman, who now writes for The Hollywood Reporter , tells us that when Preston saw him at the Peabody Hotel , Mrs. John Travolta loudly blasted him for his columns criticizing Scientology. )) While I’d like to blame the Church of Tom for everything, I can’t see the connection here. The South Park thing really did happen, but this is bit of a stretch because Friedman did review a leaked copy of the movie. And, this woul...

JJ Started dating Anne Coulter and that's a step up for Anne. _________________________ Top Six Most Annoying TV Characters Listen, we all have our list of characters that just annoyed us every time they show up on the screen. Well, I decided to make my top six TV characters that pretty much piss me off every time they show up a show. Like a bad case of ache, they just won’t go away. 6. Sam McKinney from Diff'rent Strokes: So, what happens when your ratings start to droop? You bring in a poor carbon copy of Gary Coleman and you make him white, and a terrible actor. It is sad when Coleman can out-act Danny Cooksey (Sam). I remember just hating this kid every time he talked or did something ‘cute’. The show jumped the shark. He was also the punk in T2. ______________________________________________ 5. Alpha 5 from "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" : He’s like the wussy version of that Robot from Lost in Space. I wasn’t aware that ...

New Kids on the Block blame the world economy for their cancellation . ( More linking ) ((The U.S. pop act New Kids on the Block said on its Web site it is scrapping its planned Australian concert tour due to the economy.)) Why does this sound like spinning to me? Blame the recession for poor ticket sells. We know that it is because they suck. Did people really desire a reunion in the first place? I don’t think 14 years would make their music sound any better. The world doesn't need this reunion anyway. Somehow, they were changed from cartoons to old has-beens.

Random Thoughts ~ Nostalgia Critic takes on Sidekicks : Whoa, I remember this Chuck Norris movie. Why is this kick dreaming about Chuck Norris all the time? This movie is bad. Joe Piscopo plays the villain? Piscopo and Norris in the same movie? Offsetting the Piscopo and Norris characters is Winnie Cooper , and she’s playing the same character. So when you mix The Wonder Years with The Karate Kid, you get this movie. ~ So Jon and Kate Gosselin have an very important announcement to make soon : What? Are they baking cookies. Something tells me it's going to be about their divorce. Somehow, they extend their reality show around it I bet. Ah, the reality show curse is in full effect. ~ Digital Underground on The Arsenio Hall Shoe . I really like this group. It's time for this group to make a comeback. I guess Tupac Shakur made his appearance between the first album and their ep release. Sadly, it looks like the group disbanded last year. ~ Bruno gets s...

Neve Campbell will not do Scream 4 I've changed my mind about another Scream movie, and I'd love to see the producers take the film into making fun of the Rebooting storyline, by claiming that this is a new trilogy that the killer is starting up. From Peter Sciretta at Slash Film, ((Don’t expect series star Neve Campbell to return as Sidney Prescott in Scream 4 . Series screenwriter Kevin Williamson , who is developing the script for the first part of a new trilogy, has revealed on twitter that Campbell has turned down an offer to return in the next installment.)) I am a little shocked by this news because I thought she stated earlier that she was up for a new Scream movie. Campbell career hasn’t really taken off after the Scream franchise. There was a period between 2001 and 2007 that looked like her career was completely dead. Hey, I guess it is her choice to make. If the script is clever enough, I think she should reconsider. Like I said, if the new series ...

Artie Lange on Joe Buck Show I don’t know what the heck is The Joe Buck Show, but I’m a little perplexed. I’m not sure what all the controversy is about. The show is on HBO. This is the same network that has Real Sex and comedy specials. Why would you even have Artie Lange on a Sports show anyway. It's not like he's the most athletic guy. Part of me knows the Joe Buck show was a mess, but Mr. Lange didn’t help matters. He just seemed to throw out random remarks and wouldn’t show up. This is the Artie I’m not a fan of. I like the more honest Artie that talks about his life and stories about screwing up his life. Sadly, this is just another chapter under seeing him fall off the deep end. Here is the incident reviewed with Howard Stern. Parts 1 , 2 , and 3 Here are some clips on Chris Russo and Artie seems to argue with him. Despite the shouting, I have side with Russo. ( here t hey are ) HBO is ripping away all videos related to the outburst everywhere. ...

Notice anything similar to RocketMan ? Man, that was a bad movie and even Harland Williams bashes it _______________________________ Funny People (movies within the movie) At first, I wasn't too warm to Apatow's Funny People, then Slash Film released some of the spoof videos focused on the character of George Simmons (Adam Sandler). It looks like Judd is making fun of all those 'Family Friendly' movies that clogged up the theaters. While some of the spoof movies are making fun of Sandler's career, it is very clear that some of them are jabs at Eddie Murphy. Make sure to click on the link above to watch some of the movies. It is just crazy that the fake movies that are mentioned here are pretty damn close to real movies or concepts I'm sure are being thrown around today. George Simmons, the fictional character, has his own viral web site . Looking at it, it is funny seeing them taking jabs at Sandler's career. Check out his albums and the t...

I figured I do two more in my Top Ten Movie Scores. (5-4) 5. Close Encounters of the Third Kind: John Williams does it again with a wonderful score. It is filled with creepy music and bright themes toward the end. I still love the Tuba and clarinet duet, but some of the best music is at the end. I mean it is simply amazing and John Williams no longer writes music like this today. Here’s a sample Here’s the Wild Signals score portion (Movie version has a bit of the Jaws theme in it, this one doesn’t.) Ending portion _________________________________ 4. Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back: Another classic by John Williams. For the second movie, Williams added some all-new scores to his established universe of themes. He added the impressive Imperial Theme and the Yoda theme. Both will make appearances throughout the rest of the series. This is probably one of his best action scores to date. The Battle of Hoth Rebel Fleet/End Tit...
