Dexter is my new obsession…

Leave a comment

So I’m finally a proud subscriber to “Netflix”. I know everyone has “Netflix, these days, and I just finally got mine yesterday. What is the first thing that I started watching? The Showtime serial killer series, “Dexter”. This is the main reason why I wanted “Netlflix”, so I can catch up on “Dexter”. I’ve already seen 7 episodes of the first season and loving it to death so far. I’m sure the seasons will get better as I watch ’em.

I’m not sure if I can watch all 5 seasons on “Netflix”, I’ll look into it. If I can’t, that’s okay, I’m probably gonna start collecting the DVD box sets for “Dexter”.

“Dexter” is such an intense story, very intelligently written and good acting by Michael C. Hall. I’m already hooked to the show and I’m dying to see the rest of it. The reason I never saw “Dexter” before because I never had Showtime on my Time Warner Cable box. I’m going to have to get Showtime, because what if they start making new episodes for a Season 6? You never know.

I’m happy I got “Netflix”. I plan to watch other movies and other TV shows on there too. After I catch up on “Dexter”, I plan to check out the TV show “Lost” which I also never saw. Netflix is great.

Tonight, I plan to watch a movie on “Netflix”. Not sure what I’m going to watch yet, but I’ll decide something. Lot of good movies on there.

Report: Snooki, hopes to become WWE star, full time if opportunity comes up…

Leave a comment

Will Snooki’s appearance at Wrestlemania tomorrow night, will be her one time only appearance in WWE? Probably not. While Snooki is committed to Jersey Shore, she admits that the show won’t last forever, and she hopes to become a full time, WWE Diva, after.

Read more about it, here.

If Snooki’s “Wrestlemania” appearance is a huge success and if she pulls in a lot of ppv buys, then yes, the WWE would probably want more Snooki appearances.

This isn’t the first time a TV star became a full time WWE Star, because “The Miz” used to be a TV star for the “Real World” on MTV.

Cool Video: Tammy Sytch aka “Sunny” talks WWE Hall of Fame induction…

Leave a comment

Here is Tammy Sytch aka “Sunny” attending some Wrestlemania event. She talks about her WWE Hall of Fame induction. I haven’t seen any new pictures of her to see what she currently looks like, but she’s still looking pretty fucking hot! Will she be involved in any Wrestlemania matches this Sunday? Hopefully. I’d love to see her in action for one last time.

If you look closely in the background, you can see Jimmy “Mouth of the South” Hart, chatting with fans, holding his megaphone as usual.

Report: Rutgers University students pays Snooki $32,000 to speak at their school…

1 Comment

Students of Rutgers University College pays Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi $32,000 to speak at their school. That is $2,000 more than Nobel Prize winning author, Toni Morrison. During her speech, she spent some time answering questions from fans in the audience. I would also imagine she did an autograph session after.

Read more on the story, here.

I know she’s getting a lot of hate for this, yes, in most blogs and message boards, she’s getting a lot of negative attacks. People calling Rutgers an embarrassment for getting her and all kinds of nasty shit. I believe all you people attacking her for this, comes out of jealousy clearly.

In her defense, I’ve explained before, that she does a LOT of things for the community. She has done a lot of work for charity, fundraisers, and all that stuff. This is the latest thing she has done. Many people would accuse her of doing it for the money, but quite honestly, she would think $32,000 is not that much. If she was really money hungry, she would have asked for a lot more, but she didn’t. Snooki accepted this offer, because she is a nice and sweet person, she wanted to show it.

There are too many people hating on her these days, just because she’s famous for “Jersey Shore”. People would talk everything negative no matter the good things she does. I find it hypocritical everyone hates Snooki, yet, everyone supports Charlie Sheen when he is 10x’s more of a trainwreck than Snooki would ever be.

She didn’t do this Rutgers speech for the money, because I’m sure she’s already fucking loaded. She gets her money from the Jersey Shore show, her book and I’m sure WWE payed her well to do Wrestlemania. So $32,000 would be pretty cheap for her. Think about it.

To be fair to her, I think she did a really good thing here. She’s a sweetheart for this. It’s her way of showing people she can be a good person. People attacking Snooki are nothing but jealous losers.

I don’t have to hate her like everyone else. I don’t have to have the same opinions. I’ll respect and hate who ever I please. People think it’s weird that I talk positive about Snooki, Sarah Palin, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, but I don’t give a shit. I’m not afraid to be honest and real about things.

Keep doing what you’re doing, Snooki, don’t listen to the haters. Her Wrestlemania appearance this Sunday would be good and looking forward to that too.

Report: Sting finally explains why he turned down Wrestlemania 27 with match against the Undertaker…

Leave a comment

The reason it’s Triple H vs. The Undertaker for this year’s “Wrestlemania” is because Sting turned it down. Triple H was just the backup if Sting turned it down. Turned out, Sting did. Yes, the WWE asked Sting to make his WWE debut at Wrestlemania, but why did Sting turn it down? He still doesn’t trust how he would be used by WWE. He still supports WWE however, he wants that Triple H vs. Undertaker match to happen and he’ll be wondering about it even though he won’t be watching.

Read more on the story, here.

It’ll be great to see Sting in the WWE, but I don’t think he will ever work for them. He has no personal hatred against Vince and the WWE, it’s just how he feels.

Cool Photo: Indiana Jones’s fridge scene from “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”…

Leave a comment

In Indiana Jones, “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, you remember that controversial fridge scene? Where Indy hides in this fridge during the Nuclear bomb explosion to protect himself? Well, here they are filming that scene. That’s really Harrison Ford in that fridge. It’s no stunt double, that’s really Harrison. The pic is proof of it.

Damn, while that scene is kind of goofy and silly, you gotta give respect for Harrison for braving that scene. I couldn’t even get in a fridge like that, it would be too painful and tiring. Gotta give the kudos for Harrison for dealing with that. I wonder how long Harrison stayed in that fridge in the pitch black dark like that?

Thought: More on why Dolph Lundgren could possibly be the next “Expendables” director…

Leave a comment

So I wrote that Dolph could possibly be Sly’s replacement as director for, “The Expendables” sequel. If you want to know why Dolph would make a great choice for the director of the next film, I can think of more reasons why.

  • Dolph has more experience directing action movies than Sly – Dolph has more experience directing action movies. They all may have been direct to DVD flicks but that doesn’t mean they are bad films. Some of Dolph’s movies are actually pretty good as I actually thought “Command Performance” was a great film. Look at Dolph’s directorial filmography. They are mostly action movies.
  • Dolph can make the next Expendables flick more violent and action packed – If you’ve seen Dolph’s directed films, they are so violent, brutal and graphic. Dolph knows about fighting and violence than anybody else, so he can put on quite the great action movie here. He would put an old school feel to it too.
  • Dolph knows Sly’s directing style – Dolph have witnessed Sly direct with “Rocky IV” and the first “Expendables” movie. I’m sure Dolph has been taking lessons from Sly for his own directing. He would make the “Expendables” sequel similar to Sly’s style but would put his own original spin to it too.
  • Dolph being director would help give the film more publicity – If any other action film maker such as Robert Rodriguez or who ever else did this film instead, then the public wouldn’t care about this film as much. “The Expendables” goal is to have a movie full of action stars in one film, they will probably do the same with the director for the next film. Have a big name, direct it. If Dolph directed the next movie, it would help get more people interested.
  • Sly would want to return the favor to Dolph – Like I said before, Sly directed Dolph two times in films. Sly would want to pass the torch, return the help to a longtime friend. Sly would probably recommend Lionsgates to hire Dolph as director.

 

There you have it. I can’t see no other director making the next “Expendables” sequel. Dolph is the only one worth making the movie, in my opinion. Sure Dolph made straight to DVD stuff but that doesn’t mean he’s a terrible director. Have you even seen Dolph’s straight to DVD work? You should really check ’em out.

Dolph directing the next “Expendables” flick, would be a big screen opportunity for him and he would get recognized as a director more, too. I really hope Sly and Liosngates give him this opportunity. If they don’t, it would be a huge mistake.

Report: “The Expendables 2” slated for August 17th, 2012 release date…

Leave a comment

Lionsgate Studios, have confirmed a release date, for “The Expendables 2” sequel. It will come out, August 17th in 2012. Stallone announced a while back that he wasn’t going to write and direct the next film but he still IS going to star the leading role as his character, Barney Ross. I’m sure Sly will still help out with the casting ’cause only he knows the right tough guys for a movie like this.

I hope they get a good director for the next movie.Who do I think the director is gonna be? I think the director is gonna be none other than Dolph Lundgren. Here is why… 1) Sly and Dolph have been best friends for years 2) Sly directed Dolph two times, Sly would want to give Dolph the opportunity to direct him. How much do you want to bet the director will be, Dolph? Dolph has so much directing experience and this would be a great opportunity for Dolph to direct a movie for the big screen, instead of direct-to-DVD. Dolph starred in the first “Expendables” movie, so he would know so much about it already. Plus, Dolph would make it great.

Looking forward to the sequel, hope it will be better than the first.

Cool Video: Hangover II trailer is finally here…

Leave a comment

I’ve never even seen the first, “Hangover” movie yet, but I was meaning to check it out soon. I’m going to buy the first “Hangover” movie next time I go to Best Buy. The thing is, I don’t watch comedy films too much. The genres I mostly watch are: action, horror and drama, but once in a while I’ll watch a comedy when I need a good laugh.

The Hangover series does look entertaining.

Enjoy.

Thought: What makes Harry Potter so great…

2 Comments

Some people mistakenly think that the Harry Potter series are made for young adults and children. That’s what I thought too. In the past, I wasn’t into this whole Wizard thing. That’s why I never got into Harry Potter. I suddenly became intrigued with the stories. So I first saw all the movies, and then I read all the books. I now agree that, J.K. Rowling, is a genius writer, and all this publicity she’s getting for the books is well deserved. I think that when I visited the “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” at Universal Studios last Fall is what made me get into it. I visited the Harry Potter theme park and honestly, I thought that place was going to bore me to death. The place didn’t. I found it really amazing and fascinating, so I just had to start getting into Harry Potter to see how J.K. Rowling had her own theme park there.

Why are the Harry Potter series so amazing? I can think of these reasons…

  • The writing – Seriously, J.K. Rowling’s writing is phenomenal. I just couldn’t put the books down. I just wanted more. That is why I was quick on finishing all 7 books. Her writing makes it so you can read it fast. The detail and the insights of the stories is just mind blowing. As you read the books, it makes you feel like watching a movie in your head. Her writing style is just great.
  • The characters – Mrs. Rowling, came up with some of the most unique and creative characters. There are so many characters in all of the books, it’s kind of hard to follow through them all
  • The unpredictability – You just never knew what was going to happen next in these stories. It’ll keep you guessing ’til the very end.
  • There’s something for everyone in the books – These stories are really not just for kids. There is something for everyone, so people of all ages can read these stories. It’s not just for women. The guys can read them too. There is drama, romance, action, horror, fantasy, science fiction, etc. All genres mixed into one. The first book, may start off as a children’s book, yes, but the stories get a lot darker after the first one.

Wizards were only known in Medieval stories (the story of Merlin and King Arthur as an example), and J.K. Rowling wanted to take Wizard stories in a different direction. She wanted to make Wizards have their own little world, and she was successful at that.

Yeah I know, I’m real late getting into Harry Potter. I never got into Harry Potter when the books started coming out and I never saw the movies when they first came out either. I just got into Harry Potter. The story of Harry trying to get revenge on Voldermort for his murdered parents is really powerful stuff. Plus, Voldermort is possibly one of the greatest villains ever created, in my opinion. Voldermort was more evil than Darth Vader, I think.

So if you’re not a Harry Potter fan, I would suggest you to get into it. If you like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or the Terminator franchises, you would like Harry Potter. One warning though, you need to read the books and see the movies in order. If you see, “The Deathly Hollows part 2” in theater, you’ll never know what’s going on, so catch up before the new movie comes out like I did.

Harry Potter is awesome and I’m glad I got into the series. Thanks, J.K. Rowling for her work.
