Ben & Jerry’s launched a new ice cream flavor this week called, “Schweddy Balls”, which was named after Alec Baldwin’s, “Saturday Night Live” character.
Hmmmmm, I’ll have to give this one a try next time I hit the grocery store.
While I do eat mostly a clean nutrition, I still have a craving for ice cream. I’ve been eating quite a bit of ice cream all summer. I love Ben & Jerry’s. I haven’t lost any muscle or anything, it’s all good. As long as you eat a clean nutrition throughout the day, there’s nothing wrong with a before bed cheat snack. Ice cream is the only snack food I’ll touch. Life is too short to eat healthy all the time. As long as you’re already good with fitness & nutrition, cheat away but do it wisely.
Some of my other favorite Ben & Jerry flavors are: Late Night Snack, Milk & Cookies, Chocolate Mint, Cherry Garcia, Phish Food, and Red Velvet Cake.
Now that “Dexter – Season 5”, is out on DVD which I purchased last week, I’m already done watching that season. I think Season 4 and 5 are the best seasons so far. This is a really powerful and intense show. Everything about the show is so perfect. There is nothing bad about it so far. The acting is great, the writing is great, and the way it is filmed is great. Plus, the show has the best musical score.
Now that I’m done with “Season 5” of Dexter, I’m back to watching, “24 – Season 2” on Netflix.
“Dexter” is such an amazing show, I can’t wait for Season 6, which will premiere on Oct. 2nd. I’m planning to order the Showtime channel this month in time before the show. Michael C. Hall, a phenomenal talent, he’s the best thing about the show, of course.
Whenever “Dexter” is all over and done with, Michael C. Hall will probably move on to become a big movie star after this. I’m pretty sure he’s already getting tons of offers from many horror films.
I’ll talk about Kiefer Sutherland’s “24” in another blog post. “24” is a great show too, I can’t stop watching it, so addicting.
Talented actress, Reese Witherspoon, was out for a jog this morning in Santa Montica, California, and suddenly, Reese was hit by a car. The driver happened to be an 84 year old woman. She is okay as her injuries are not serious.
Ever since the Behind the Scenes pics of Snyder’s “Man of Steel” began surfacing the web, there is this mysterious guy in a mo-cap costume. The internet has been debating on trying to figure out who or what that mo-cap thing is. Well, the mo-cap mystery has finally been solved.
The guy in the mo-cap on the left, is indeed Michael Shannon. He also confirms that General Zod will be a CGI character.
Bruce Willis is set to return as, Mr. Church, and, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is set to return as Trench for, “The Expendables”, sequel. They will be playing longer roles this time around, now that Arnold’s governor days are over with.
My question is, which one of these guys will get into a major fight scene with Sly in the next film? I’m hoping Arnold. I’m hoping Arnold will be villain for the next one.
JCVD and Chuck Norris have been rumored for this movie for a long while, lets hope they confirm soon. It’s most likely they are part of this film too. We’ll have to wait and see.
There’s a huge debate online through movie forums and blogs on whether or not Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” film should keep the John Williams “Superman” theme for the opening title sequence, of the new film. Should they keep the theme song?
Of course, there are mixed reactions to this….
Some people do want the song because they feel it’s not a Superman movie without it.
Some people don’t want the song. Some fans say that Zack and Christopher Nolan should trash the theme song and go for something different since this is a reboot and has nothing to do with the early Superman films. Some claim it wouldn’t make sense if they still used the main theme.
So what are my thoughts to all of this? I agree that they need to KEEP the original theme. If they want to hire a different composer and change the song around with different styles and arrangements, I’m fine with that, but they shouldn’t ignore it completely. I mean, every Superman movie had a different composer but they still used the JW’s theme song, but each version had a different arrangement to it. If they use the original theme, I’m cool with that too.
I think the theme song is needed for so many reasons. 1) The theme song was made for Superman character himself, not for the actual movies 2) They need to get the audience pumped up and excited before the movie starts 3) They need to stay true with the Superman character.
The reason JW’s “Superman” theme is debatable on the internet now is because, Zack Snyder haven’t confirmed anyone for a composer for “Man of Steel”. Plus, Zack never said anything if he will use JW’s legendary score or not. I’m sure we’ll hear something soon. In Hollywood films, the film crew would mostly hire a music composer after the film is done ’cause they score the film in an orchestra setting while the movie is playing on screen. That’s how they do it.
Think about it, if they use a different theme song, people won’t get used to Superman anymore. It might turn the new fans off and it won’t be as successful in the box office. It won’t be as exciting and fun. I love the Superman theme. It certainly pumps me up and puts a smile on my face when I watch a Superman movie. That’s what the audience needs for this film.
If they used a different composer for Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” movie, I don’t care who the composer is. NOBODY, I mean, NOBODY, is ever going to top JW’s legendary score. In my opinion, I think Zack and Chris are going to use the song. I think Warner Bros. would want them to use it. I hope they use it.
Some of you may wonder why I haven’t really posted full body progress shots of my fitness, showing off my legs and everything else. Well in order for me to take pics like that, I’ll have to be wearing nothing but underwear or something. That’s what most bodybuilders do when they post their progress pics online.
I’ll get to pics like that sometime in the future but not at this time. When I’m ready, I”ll post full body progress pics. I already do take pics like that, I won’t make them public.
I don’t do progress pics for attention or just to admire myself, there’s a reason people do progress pics, just to see how you’re improving in your goals. Photos are important. We don’t do it for nothing.
I feel that my legs especially my quads has gotten pretty big. I’d like to show them off again but when I’m ready.
Pearl Jam has always been one of my favorite bands. I respected them in the 90’s and still respect them now. They are one of the only grunge bands that never broke up and still going today. Congrats go to Pearl Jam for staying together for this long. I think it would be fun to celebrate the band’s 20 years by naming 10 of their greatest songs, in my opinion.
Here’s the list:
1. “Alive”
(I think this was the first song I heard of them, and immediately I was blown away. I first heard the song when I saw the video on MTV, of course. This is a beautiful and powerful song. Love it too much!)
2. “Oceans”
(This is my second favorite PJ song off the “Ten” album. It was never a radio single, but still a great song. You can hear the emotion in Eddie’s vocals. His vocals were the best in this song, in my opinion.)
3. “Why Go”
(I think this the band’s most heaviest song ever. It has an incredible guitar riff, Eddie’s voice sounds really angry throughout the whole song. Just a bad ass song overall, love it.)
4. “Animal”
(Love the guitar riffs, the lyrics, and the vocals are awesome. Short song, but very catchy and one of the best songs of “Vs.”.)
5. “Rats”
(This has always been another favorite song of mine off of “Vs.”. PJ takes a different genre by going funk. I love the funky groove and makes you want to dance to it.)
6. “Tremor Christ”
(One of their most underrated songs, and I don’t think they ever played this live. This one of their darkest songs. I love the opening guitar riff. Very unique and different. PJ not afraid go to different directions.)
7. “Bugs”
(Another killer tune off of “Vitalogy”. It’s just an organ and Eddie’s voice.)
8. “Yellow Ledbetter”
(Like a lot of people, this is a favorite PJ song of mine too.)
9. “Nothing As It Seems”
(This is an extremely powerful song, this is the best song off the album “Binaural”, very haunting and creepy.)
10. “Johnny Guitar”
(One of their new songs of “Backspacer”. Best song off the album. Killer guitar riffs. Just a badass tight rock tune.)
I never watched Strikeforce, but I heard a lot about, the Reem. I hear he’s a monster of a fighter and he’s a beast. While I do like Brock Lesnar, I’m rooting for the Reem on this one. Brock is just a wrestler and brawler, the Reem has more martial arts experience that includes kickboxing. Could Brock actually win again? Note sure, Brock lost miserably to Cain Velasquez the last time. I’m actually looking forward to this fight.
Well, that was fast! Earlier this week it was announced that the Academy is in talks with Eddie Murphy to host this year’s Oscars, it is already confirmed. Eddie is game for hosting the Oscars this year.
This is a much better choice of host than last year. Last year, it was James Franco and Anne Hathaway, they weren’t funny. I’m sure Eddie Murphy will be very funny and will bring lots of laughs. The Academy’s filming crew better have their censor button ready ’cause he’s going to drop a lot of swearing.
Congrats to Eddie, he deserves to get recognized again.
I wish Eddie would get back into action movies instead of doing all of these films for kids. I hope a 4th Beverly Hills Cop movie will happen too.
