Watch These You Wh**e!

So its the end of the year and I'm not into all the self-reflecting bull-s**t stuff. I'm not into all those Top Ten lists, everyone's opinion is different, and most people's opinions are wrong anyway. I thought I would just take a moment and list the movies that were worth seeing this year, this isn't necessarily a top ten, since I didn't see a lot of those artsy-fartsy movies that everyone is always picking for their top ten.
In no particular order:

1) Hurt Locker- a great movie about the war, intense throughout, great acting by a bunch of nobodies and great cameo by Guy Pierce and Ralph Fiennes.

2) District 9- a really cool sci-fi movie with great action, a cool story, and also some social commentary about our current society.

3) The Road- exactly like the book, intense, interesting, with a lot to say about humanity. Great cameos by Robert Duvall, GUy Pierce, and Omar Little.

4) The Hangover- funniest movie in over a year. Period. Male nudity. Period.

5) Star Trek- a very well done remake. Has a lot of shout outs to the old movies, while still reinventing itself for a new generation. Interesting plot that wasn't dumbed down. The beginning of another great movie franchise.

6) Zombieland- a great escape movie about killing zombies, very humorous and entertaining. Classic.

7) The Cove- a great documentary about the slaughtering of dolphins of the coast of Japan for sport and food. Very difficult to watch but very interesting and very well done.

8) Precious- very powerful movie about the trials of a 16 year old mother from a broken home, a me vs the world type story. Powerful, not easy to watch at times.

Movies I haven't seen yet but heard are good: The Informant, The Talented Mr. Fox, 500 Days of Summer, and Inglorious Bastards.

Side note: I broke down and saw Up in the Air. I was under-whelmed with it. Clooney does a great job and the movie is entertaining for the first 90 minutes, but the last 20 minutes just derail. The ending is horrible. All the characters start to advance and change to be better people in the movie, then bam something happens and everyone ends up the same as in the beginning. The lesson the movie wants you to learn is that true love isn't real.

Videos B**ches!

Happy Festivus to all. In celebration here are some videos to peek your interests while the holiday season passes us by.

I have always said that Alec Baldwin is a hero of mine, and to quote Derek Zoolander: "Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot."

Here are some more heroes of mine. I need to do this to someone sometime. It doesn't matter how long it takes or how much it costs, this is happening.

Hero Status

I thought today we would do a tribute to Jon Hamm and his Don Draper character on Mad Men, enjoy. To me I can't differentiate between Jon Hamm and Don Draper, they are both super cool, womanizers, who are actually hilarious if need be, basically my hero.

According to askmen.com Don Draper is the most influential man of 2009, ahead of 48 real people who aren't characters on TV, and ahead of Michael Jackson and Barack Obama.



Little known fact, but Jon Hamm is actually really funny and was nominated for an Emmy for his 3 episode guest on 30 Rock. He is also best friends with Zach Galifianakis. They would make a great comedy duo.

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis from Between Two Ferns

Sidenote: There are a wholoe series of those Between 2 Ferns, and they are all hilarious.

Bonus story: Cat in the wall, hey...............

Those crazy asians

By now we all know all about Tiger Woods, and his "incident" with his wife. (I'm still not sure why anyone would cheat on this). What you might not know about this story is that Japanese television did a news piece on it:



I can't understand a word they say, but the reenactment is awesome.

Bonus Video: If you didn't see the Colbert Report with Elvis Costello, check out the clip below. It's a regular interview, but cut to the 4:30, Stephen covers a Elvis Costello job and it is very well done. Great moment in television.
