Kate Mara still hasn't seen Fantastic Four From ComicBook.com, ((In her case, it is a bit odd as she stars in the film as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, but she insisted to British newspaper  The Times (via nzherald ) that she "will eventually" get around to seeing it. )) Ouch, you have to read between the lines. She knows the movie is shit and she had a bad time. So, this statement is just another well-deserved jab at Josh Trank. From Comic Book.com, ((Last month,  EW reported that Trank was anywhere from "cold to cruel" to Mara during filming because he was upset that Fox chose her for the role despite his "strong opposition." )) Yeah, I heard reports that Trank was REALLY mean to her while filming. And, I also heard it was because FOX forced Mara on him. In that case, I say it's your job to make it work. Sometimes you're not blessed with the right cast, but there are ways to make it work. But, treating Mara...

Tumblr: I just can’t understand it I’ve been blogging for a very long time and I’ve seen the changes in the blogging over the ten years.  I watched the rise and fall of MySpace and beginning of Twitter from the ozzoo. However, something spawned out of Twitter/Facebook womb in the form of Tumblr. I felt that Twitter took a lot of steam out of blogging, but Tumblr came around and there was a whole new group of bloggers, a bit more self-absorbed. Yes, bloggers like me are already self-absorbed, but Tumblr is a whole new level. It is like a whole new level. Reading through Tumblr just makes me feel old. I can't believe blogger is the old person's gig. And, why get rid of the “e” in the word tumbler? Is that supposed to be trendy?  

Random Stuff ~Donald Trump's popularity finally over? I certainly hope so. I am tired of this puffy/shit haired asshole. There is an hint of constant racism that he feeds on with each speech he makes. While the GOP has some really good issues to cover, but I can't support a party that uses race baiting to get its base out. The homophobic stances are a problem too. It's legal for gay people to get married, get over it. Seeing Trump fall on his own big mouth must please FOX, because they've always hated him running.  ~Trump Porn:   BTW, did you know that porn companies are making porn videos involving parodies of Trump?  Who asked for this?  One video has Megan Kelly banging a black dude as Trump watches.  Why? This is not to be confused with the lovely Teanna Trump though.  No relation.   Damn, what was I talking about?  ~The Flash: I am currently watching the final episode of season one. This show is so good...

Canceled (podcast) I discovered a new and funny podcast based on TV pop culture. It's called Canceled . I heard the (Chris Cubas) owner of the podcast on Doug Loves Movies and he mentioned his own podcast. It is an interesting concept for a podcast. Cubas and one of his comedian friends watch every episode of a canceled TV (that lasted one season) show. There are so many failed shows that lasted only one season, and it is interesting to see where they could have gone with the show. Here are some of the shows he's covered on the podcast. Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip : I actually loved this show despite its major flaws. And, you can hear the frustration they have with the show. They didn't like when the show lost focus on the show within the show. 30 Rock is mentioned a few times. Terriers : It is a real shame this show didn't make it. Great show. Freaks And Geeks : Seen the entire series, but I haven't heard the podcast on t...

Holy crap this season is turning to be better than the second season. Tensions seems to be higher this season than the second season. However, Chris Moore is missed. I haven't seen his new show The Chair yet. I am actually looking forward to this movie on HBO. ~ Matt Damon: As I predicted, Damon apologized for his view on “diversity” . And it is really bothering me with this term “whitesplaining”. Can't a white person have a different view from a black person and not look like an racist? This PC crap is going too far. Don't shut someone down because they're not a part of the group.  ~Pete Jones: It is good to see him again. He looks healthy and really mellowed out. He wrote the original script Not Another Pretty Woman, but he was willing to give it up for the PG director's script. Jones has worked in the Hollywood system for a while now and he could bring out the mini-Tim Burton. I think the PG Director needs to get his head out of hi...

Fun with Google Searches... After deleted some medical comment spam from my blog, I came across a Google search for a certain movie I truly hate a lot...Battlefield Earth. But it is not a normal search. The search was about one of the dumbest and funniest scenes in the movie. The cow leg shooting scene...here's the actual Google Search ((battlefield earth why cows legs shot?)) Yes, this scene right here. Try not to laugh. I wish I could explain the scene away in some sort of Xenu way, but I can't. I am not even sure it's in the damn book. I wish I could answer the searcher's question. Maybe, LRH hated cows... It's like I will forever be connected to Scientology and Battlefield Earth. And, yes I explained the concept of the Space Church (TM) to my boss at work. He didn't believe me until he looked it up. Once you try explaining Xenu to someone, they look at you crazy.

Lunar Eclipse I got in around 4 AM and noticed the sky was extremely bright for a 4AM night. I looked up and the Moon was extremely bright. Like white hot bright. I only looked at it in passing because I feared the light bouncing off the sun wouldn't be good for my already bad eyes. From what I can read, I didn't catch the Lunar Eclipse, but the aftermath . The Moon was very bright and you could see a lot of detail on the surface. I grabbed my camera and took some pictures. But they came out rather badly because the Moon was so bright. Did I catch it during the eclipse? By the way, the dates on the photos are wrong it happened today.    Yes, it was that bright outside.  can you believe it?  

Jay Leno isn't a fan of mean-based humor it seems I was listening to him on Joe Rogan's Podcast , hoping I'd like the guy, but he came across as being slimy more than anything else/ I've never liked Leno's humor and thought he was a part of that older “be nice” brand of hosting. While I don't watch too much of the late talk shows, I think the new batch of comedians in the hosting chairs are doing some really good things. Leno is a dinosaur. His humor isn't my brand of humor and too much like Carson's humor. I like a bit of edge to humor. I think TV is better off without a Leno around. So, it ticked me off when I read about this thing between Leno and Kimmel. From Yahoo via TV Insider , (( "The most [important] element you can have in doing a late night show is kindness," he explained to TV Insider, "because the show makes you arrogant. I think that’s Jimmy Kimmel’s problem." )) So says the guy that “retired”...

 Kid N Play Cartoon Yet another shitty cartoon based on real rap performers. Here's the thing, Kid N Play was popular among the hip-hop fans and MTV folks, but they really blew up with the House Party movie (franchise). That franchise was about two guys trying to get laid at a party with an R rating. So, what better way to connect with that audience then to make a morning cartoon show, right? I'll admit it; I liked Kid N Play and I loved the first two House Party movies. Actually, they're still funny. Heck, I like their music. But, I hated the show. Plus, they had to add that “magical” element to the show with them locking their shoes together. (Class Act is bad though) I also like this bit from the Wiki page , (( The real Kid 'n Play appeared in live-action wraparounds of the cartoons, but voice actors took over for the animated versions of the duo. )) However, I MDB has Martin Lawrence listed in the credits of the show, so I guess he wa...
