Netflix Pick (DVD): The Hangover

Earlier this evening I finally saw the first movie, of “The Hangover”. I never saw it before. Wanted to, but never got around to it until now. Wanted to see the first one before I decide to see the sequel. It was a DVD rental from Netflix.

The story tells about 4 guys who are best friends, they go to Las Vegas to party & have fun because their friend, Doug was getting married, and this was their way of celebrating for him. When they arrive in Vegas to get a hotel room, they party on the roof of the hotel building, and the next morning, things goes wrong. They find a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in a closet. Plus, their friend Doug was missing. They don’t even remember what happened last night because they were so drunk they couldn’t remember everything. They needed to go find Doug so they can bring him home for his wedding but he was no where to be seen.

I was pretty surprised of this movie. It was very entertaining. There were some scenes where I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at some of it. I thought it was a perfect comedy all around. The writing was great and I like Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms (of “The Office) teaming together. Of course, Mike Tyson’s cameo was the best part of the movie.

“The Hangover” series is the most talked about comedy series on the internet and that’s what made me want to check it out. Hey, I’m a fan of comedies, I like to watch them once in a while. I need to smile and laugh every now and then. I’m looking forward to “The Hangover II” in theater which I will try to see before it stops playing.

I need to see “Super 8” in theater first though. I will go see “Super 8” in theater sometime this week ’cause I plan to pick up the new “Duke Nukem: Forever” game for the PS3.

Back to the first, “Hangover” movie, I really loved it. It was one of the best new comedies I’ve seen in a while.

My progress photos…

Ya know. I just love it when I post fitness progress pics of myself in this blog, the pics gets posted in other forums and other people’s facebook pages, making fun of my physique and appearance. I’m okay with that. Negative criticism on my body doesn’t offend me. If people truly thought my body was that bad, then they wouldn’t post my pics and wouldn’t comment on it. This just kind of proves that people know that I have a successful ripped physique. My pics gets passed around at other places online because jealousy is a small part of that.

I know, my body isn’t perfectly straight. There’s nothing I can do about that, because I have to live my life like this. What I have is scoliosis. I had back surgery when I was a kid, they put a metal rod in me. Back then I wasn’t allowed to do physical things and wasn’t allowed to do heavy lifting after surgery for a while, but now I’m all good and healthy to do all the physical things I want to do.

There are many fitness people and bodybuilders who had major surgeries in their lives, but they continue to do fitness anyway. There are professional bodybuilders who have gone through major heart surgeries, but even though they shouldn’t be working out in a gym, they do it anyway.

People just don’t want to admit that what I do is pretty inspiring to everybody.

Anybody can get into fitness & bodybuilding. Doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like or how your body is. Anybody can get into it. You don’t have to be a perfect pretty boy to get into the bodybuilding world.

I like people giving me feedback on my physique whether it’s good or bad. I don’t post progress pics for my own ego or for attention. I post progress pics to get honest feedback on my work. I can’t tell how good I look, so I post pics to get honest criticism. Plus, posting progress pics publicly, keeps me motivated and keeps me going in fitness.

I know some people are going to mention my curvy back when I post the pics, but like I said, you have to admit that I what I do is impressive. Make fun of it all you want. This is how I am. People are a little jealous that I’m able to get a fit physique even with the surgery.

Nobody’s perfect and don’t need to be. I’m proud of my fitness physique. I may need improvement on the pecs, obliques and need to lower body fat some, but I’m working on it, and not rushing things.

Netflix Pick: Lost – Season 3

Today, on a rainy day, I decided to finish watching the last few episodes of “Lost – Season 3”. The last season, focused on teasing this group of mysterious people called, “The Others” which is what the survivors on the island called them. The last Season wouldn’t reveal “The Others”.

In Season 3, they revealed who “The Others” were. Ben Lupin, who is the leader/boss of “The Others” was the guy that they held captive from the last season. The Others have taken Jack, Sawyer and Kate prisoner, but they sent Hurley home because he wasn’t needed. They wanted Kate and Sawyer to work on “The Others” campsite, while Jack was being used to operate Ben Lupin who was sick. Remember, Jack is a doctor and surgeon of the series.

This season concentrates on the survivors trying to escape “The Others” hideout. Kate and Sawyer got away but Jack stayed because he made a deal with Ben Lupin that if he’ll operate him and makes him stay alive, then Ben would send Jack home to the USA.

There are new characters introduced in this season like Desmond who has psychic visions and knows what happens to the characters in the future. This season is also much darker and more violent than the last two seasons. The show has a big love triangle between Kate, Sawyer, and Jack.

This season gets more serious on the characters of John Locke and Sawyer, on how their lives were destroyed before their characters crashed on the island. The show treated Sawyer as if he was a badguy/villain of the show but they want to show him that he can be a good guy after all.

This season is about battling against “The Others”, fighting them off for survival. “The Others” are crazy and psychotic people who thinks they own their island. The season ends with the survivors thinking they’re going to get discovered and get rescued. I liked the twists and turns this season. They continue to kill off the good characters.

It was a pretty good season. The show is getting interesting now and looking forward to seeing how the show ends. I’m enjoying the show so far. I like the actor who plays Sawyer, he does the best job at acting than all the other cast members, in my opinion. Looking forward to season 4 which I will start tomorrow.

Being positive is what I’m all about, I don’t have time for negative people..

If you wonder why I’m strict at reviewing comments before posting here in this blog, facebook, or youtube, and if you wonder why I brush off the haters of any kind, it’s because I don’t have time for negative bullshit on the internet. I just want my life to be as positive as possible. Life is too short for negativity and hate.

People know they have no reason to write negative shit about me online, it’s just some people have nothing else better to do than hate, hate, hate. Like the saying goes, I can’t please everyone. If people don’t like what I do, that’s fine. I’m just being myself.

I like dealing with people who are happy, positive and joyful. If you treat me with respect, like how you want to be treated, then I’ll treat you the same way. Simple  as that.

I’m a pretty happy dude, because all I want to do is play my music and workout in the gym. Just want everyone around me to be positive that’s all. I try to keep my world as friendly as possible.

Thought: Hulk Hogan vs. Warrior internet feud…whose side am I on?

This Warrior vs. Hogan internet feud have been creating controversy online all week. I’ll be honest, that this feud has been very entertaining and comical. I’m certainly looking forward to Warrior’s shoot video on Hogan next Friday on June 17th. Warrior may have showed small clips of it where he accused Hogan of being a wife swapper and drug user, but you haven’t seen nothing yet. When you see the full video next week, I’m sure it’ll get much worse on Hogan.

The Ultimate Warrior is not the only wrestler that hates Hogan. Many other wrestlers hate him too: Bret Hart, Iron Sheik, Honky Tonk Man, etc. Plenty of others, the list is endless. In reality, I don’t think Warrior really hates Hogan. If you look closely in Warrior’s shoot video, in his office, you can see Hogan merchandise on the shelves. So that’s a little evidence that Warrior still respects Hogan in some way. In a few of Warrior’s videos, Warrior even said a few times that he still respects Hogan.

The question is, why is the Warrior making videos trashing Hogan??? Is it jealousy? That’s what Hogan thinks. Hogan is on his twitter attacking Warrior that Warrior wouldn’t be famous without Hogan. You see, that’s not true. Another lie by Hogan and just him acting like an ego-maniac like usual. Ultimate Warrior was a famous well known wrestler way before Hogan. The Warrior already accomplished so much way before Hogan’s prime. If you need proof, read Warrior’s wikipedia. When it comes with Hogan, there is really nothing to be jealous about. So I don’t think Warrior is jealous of Hogan at all.

Hogan acts like he is the wrestling god. The superstar of all wrestling. Hogan thinks professional wrestling is all for himself and he thinks he started it all. That’s how much of an ego Hogan is. That’s why so many other wrestlers hate him.

The reason Warrior is making these videos, is that he wants to expose of how much of a lying and backstabbing piece of shit Hogan is. That sit down interview Hogan did about Macho Man Randy Savage, Hogan claims he respects Randy Savage and Warrior wants to expose the truth that Hogan doesn’t respect Randy. Hogan stabbed so many wrestlers in the back and he destroyed the legacy of many other wrestlers. Especially Bret the Hitman Hart, whose career was destroyed by Hogan in WCW.

Hogan even stabbed Vince McMahon in the back. Vince McMahon loved Hogan. Vince McMahon made Hogan for what he is. An American Hero and icon. Yet, here is Hogan in TNA attacking Vince and WWE about not having enough wrestling.

Hulk Hogan is a prick. Always has been. So yeah, I’m on the Warrior’s side all the way. Warrior won that match against Hogan at Wrestlemania 6, and I personally think Hogan is still mad at that. And Hogan threatening to sue Warrior just proves how much of a coward Hogan is.

Maybe this internet feud is real and not scripted, who knows, but it’s pretty interesting. I’m tired of Hogan still hanging around in wrestling. Nobody cares for him anymore because his time is done and it’s about time that Hogan should be destroyed. Warrior will do that job. Warrior will destroy Hulk Hogan.

I’m certainly looking forward to that video on Jun. 17th. Bring it on Warrior!

Report: Young Woman found dead at Bonnaroo festival, heat could have caused death…

Big music festivals like Bonnaroo, Coachella, Lollapalooza, etc., maybe fun to go to but I never go to any of them. Why? Because simple reasons like this report here.

No offense to anyone who enjoy going to big music festivals but sometimes they can be very dangerous to go to. That’s what a lot of people fail to think. A lot of people at festivals suffered serious injuries or even death. While I do love live music, I would stay away from these big festivals. I don’t like the huge crowds. I’ve never been to any of those big festivals.

How can those festivals be dangerous? Well, the heat for one thing. You don’t have enough water, you’re in trouble. Plus, the mosh pits, possible riots. People could offer you dangerous drugs when you don’t even know what you’re taking. Even fights with other kids at the shows. Festivals can be dangerous for a lot of reasons.

RIP to that poor woman. Her family must be devastated.

Cool Video: Ultimate Warrior to release video on June 17th to expose Hulk Hogan…

The Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior internet feud isn’t over yet. It’s still going. In this video Ultimate Warrior plans on releasing a full fledged video bashing Hulk Hogan, plus, Warrior plans on announcing his return to TV.

Does this mean he did get signed to TNA’s “Impact Wrestling”? Even though Warrior didn’t say anything about a wrestling return, you know that’s what this is. It’s just a tease for his return to professional wrestling on TV. I bet he did get signed to TNA.

He’s doing this internet feud with Hulk Hogan to help hype it up. Yes, I’m sure this internet feud between Warrior and Hulk is scripted. Warrior and Hulk  don’t hate each other in real life.

Cool Photo: First poster of David Fincher’s “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” hits the internets….it’s uncensored and has naked boobies…

There’s the first poster that just hit online today. The poster for David Fincher’s “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”. It’s no fake. It’s real and official made by the movie studios themselves. Of course, I’m sure this poster won’t be posted in your local theaters for obvious reasons. That is a great poster.

If I can find a way to order that poster online somewhere, I would love to hang it up in here.

You asked, why is Lisbeth Salander so skinny, small boobs and the piercings? It’s because that’s how Steig Larrson described her in the book. Fincher is staying true with the character which is good.

Lisbeth Salander, is finally coming to the US! Can’t wait to see this flick. I’m sure Fincher’s version will be much better than the piece of shit Swedish version. I’ll be seeing this film on the day it comes out. Love the book.

Report: Leo Dicaprio in negotiations to star in Quentin Tarantino’s next flick, “Django Unchained” as a villain…

Quentin Tarantino has been wanting to work with Leo Dicaprio for years, and looks like now he’ll finally be able to. Leo is getting close to a deal to star as the main villain for the spaghetti Western film, “Django Unchained”. Dicaprio will be playing an owner of a club called, Candyland, in Mississippi where he would treat women as slaves. He also has males pitted in “mandingo” style death matches.

It looks like Will Smith is not agreeing to star in this movie so far, so it looks like Will Smith will be out. Idris Elba, Chris Tucker and Jamie Foxx are backups in case Will does officially say “No”!

Read more here @ Deadline.

I hope Will Smith does back out ’cause I thought he was a bad choice anyway. If anything, I would like Jamie Foxx to star in it more. Jamie is very popular and he would sell the movie more than Will Smith, in my opinion.

I’m glad Leo will finally get to work with Quentin.

People maybe getting tired of Leo Dicaprio, I am too, but you can’t deny that Leo has been in so many great movies. I think Leo and Quentin would make a great team up.

Will Quentin get another chance at the Oscars for this film, “Django Unchained”? Too early to tell but we’ll wait and see how the movie looks first.
