Report: Gov. Paterson and Mayor Bloomberg wants the U.S. to take soda off of food stamps, it’s a good idea too!!!

In NYC, people with food stamps would not be able to buy soda, they must pay with regular cash for two years. Gov. David Paterson and Mayor Bloomberg are on a mission, that they want soda taken off of food stamps all over the U.S. They want the U.S. Department of Agriculture to take soda and sports drinks (that includes energy drinks too, I believe), excluded from eligibility of food stamps all across the U.S.

Read the full article, here.

I’m no big fan of David Paterson, I hate that guy as well, but what he’s doing here is actually good. I agree with it too. Soda is part of responsibility with obesity. Before I started bodybuilding and fitness, I was a big time sodaholic. I used to drink soda every day. So I had to cut it out, stop eating and drinking so much crap, get into fitness and get healthy.

Gov. Paterson gets my respect for this one time. If he keeps doing good things such as this instead of being an asshole, maybe he’ll get my full support.

Not only they should take soda off of food stamps, they need to raise the prices. I don’t like soda anymore. Haven’t touched a soda in way over a year, and I’m proud of myself. Soda is poison.

Thought: About Zack Snyder’s slow motion technique, as long as people hate it, proves he’s a good film maker…

If there is one thing that bothers me about Zack Snyder directing Superman, here it is. I don’t like how movie fans are bashing Zack Snyder’s “slow motion” technique, which is what he’s known for in all of his films. People say he does it way too much during an action sequence, when something moves so fast, he slows it right down to try and make it look cool. You know what? Zack’s slow motion technique doesn’t bother me at all. In fact, I actually find it pretty cool on how he does it.

Why the hell are people picking on Zack Snyder for his slow motion technique, when this same technique has been done so many times in so many films from the past. For example, the slow mo technique has been used in almost all of the Terminator films, Star Wars or any action film from the past has used slow motion for action scenes. Sylvester Stallone used it for one scene in the new “Rambo” movie. It’s been used in the “Expendables” as well. What about the “Dark Knight” movie itself? All the movies you all love have done slow mo.

People hate Zack Snyder’s slo mo technique, because they know he’s the best at it. Zack is an expert at the slow motion technique ’cause you can do so many different creative things with it by using computer effects. He’s done slow motion like no other film maker has done before. Zack’s slow motion is part of the art. The slow motion is needed in certain parts so it can create some magical special effects along with it. People don’t complain about the high number of slow motion effects in many other superhero films, so why do people bash Zack for it? The reason for the slow mo, it’s a cover up that they can’t do the stunt for real because it’s too dangerous.

There will probably be a lot of Slo Mo in the next Superman movie, but hell, even the old Superman flicks with Christopher Reeve had plenty of slow motion too, so shut the hell up about the slo mo, people! Hypocrites, my god!

It is possible to get ripped without spending a lot of money…

The bodybuilding and fitness industry wants people to spend a lot of money to get ripped. That’s why they make all these ridiculously expensive fitness courses such as P90x, and ridiculously expensive workout equipment such as, Boflex. You don’t need to go through all that. Why waste money on all that shit, when you can simply get ripped for free at home or if your local gym has cheap membership, you can feel free to go for that as well. You don’t need to spend so much money on getting ripped. Getting ripped can only cost ya $20 – $100 worth of cheap workout equipment and worth of healthy foods from the grocery store. You can be self taught at bodybuilding without going through expensive personal trainers as well. You don’t need that either. Working out doesn’t require money.

If you want the body of your dreams. If you want to one day look like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sly Stallone and become the best shape of your life, nothing is stopping you, no matter the price. If this is what you want, go for it now. You can only live once, so might as well get going. It doesn’t matter your age, doesn’t matter your body condition. It can happen with anybody. Bodybuilding and eating right, is not very hard. It’s actually all very easy and simple. Just takes a lot of work and dedication.

If you’re on a tight budget and can’t really afford much, like myself, I am still able to find my way around to get in shape, nicely. Don’t spend a lot of money to get in shape. It can be possible.

Thought: Who should score the music for “Superman: The Man of Steel”?

After Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan decides the casting for the new “Superman” movie that will be directed by Zack Snyder, soon they will have to find a composer to make the music for the film. Some may think that WB’s and Chris will have Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard to score “Superman” just like they did to the two Batman movies, but I hope they won’t go for them two guys again.

If they want to stay true to Superman, they need John Williams back for this gig. John Williams is Superman when it comes to music. Another composer would turn Superman fans away from seeing the movie. So I think they would get John Williams. John is still composing movies to this day, he’s been scoring for all those Harry Potter flicks. As long as he’s available, they’ll probably get him.

I really hope they get John. It would be a mistake if Chris forgets him. However, Warner Bros.’s does own the copyright to the Superman theme, the original Superman heirs the Siegels do not own it.

The opening Superman theme for the new movie won’t be exactly the same as the classic, John will probably write up a new version to get the current feel. I hope Zack and Chris will open the new Supes flick in space where the text is flying at ya on the screen. I’m sure they will stay true to that. Check the videos below as examples of what I’m talking about. Bryan Singer’s “Superman: Returns” opened the movie the same way. See how the opening theme intro is a little different? Chris and Zack will do it right, I’m sure they aren’t that stupid.

Report: WWE will soon announce big changes that will soon happen in 2011…

Reports all over the wrestling world, are saying that the WWE are making huge changes for the company for all wrestling shows. The changes will happen in 2011 but they are being kept under wraps for now. See the article, here.

This will be a major shakeup, something HUGE. What could the huge shake up be? Here are some possibilities that people are throwing around:

  1. WWE could go back to PG-14 – Go back to bloody violence and half naked women with lots of cleavage. ( I hope this will happen but I doubt it, merchandise sales are flying high and you see a lot of children at all RAW/SD shows, so I don’t see them dropping the PG rating)
  2. Vince buys TNA? (Nice idea, but not a chance this will happen. Sorry)
  3. RAW/SMACKDOWN could merge into one brand to end the roster split. (Possibly, but I don’t see this happening ’cause of too many superstars, won’t make enough room to perform in one show)
  4. WWE will get their own wrestling cable channel to air RAW/SD and all WWE shows. (Not a chance this will happen, ever. USA has always been RAW’s home, Smackdown just moved to SyFy, so I doubt Vince will get his own WWE channel. WWE do have their own history channel which is only available for satellite TV, I believe?

Whatever the shakeup is going to be, I’m looking forward to it. You just never know what Vince McMahon and the staff at WWE Headquarters would come up with.

Report: Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp to finally star in a movie together???

Two of Hollywood’s biggest movie icons in the world, Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp, have never starred in a movie together, ever. I don’t think? If they already did one, correct me. I’m pretty sure they never collaborated. A Hanks and Depp team up may actually happen. Thanks to Kathryn Bigelow, who is moving forward with her movie about, Argentina, currently titled, “Triple Frontier”. Tom Hanks is already signed to the leading role. Depp is currently in negotiations with Kathryn, to star alongside with Tom. It is another mobster movie, set in Argentina. See the full article here at, Deadline.

Hopefully, Depp would say yes to this project ’cause I’ve always wanted a Depp and Hanks team up. This sounds like it’s going to be another violent action movie for Kathryn. Is Tom about to go violent again like he did to, “The Road to Perdition”? Sounds like it. “Triple Frontier” sounds interesting. Kathryn is a great film maker as I thought, “The Hurt Locker” was one amazing flick.

Report: Kurt Angle wants WWE return…

Former WWE star, Kurt Angle is still currently working for TNA. Even if he signed another contract to stay with TNA even longer, he still wants a big WWE return. He still plans to stay with TNA too. How can he work with two different shows at the same time?

See the article, here.

That’s good that Kurt Angle finally wants to return. Could he actually be, the RAW Anonymous GM? Heh, who knows. The WWE could certainly use him back since their ratings has been down as of late. Kurt Angle would also make a great member of the Nexus ’cause the Nexus could use a member that have wrestling talent, and Kurt Angle has that. Pretty much all members of the Nexus suck at wrestling, except for Justin Gabriel who seems pretty promising.

I’d like to see a Kurt Angle return. I’m all for it.

Report: Robert Miller, a Green Beret, gets Medal of Honor by President Obama…

I can’t stand President Obama as President but he does something good for once. Robert Miller, a young Green Beret in the Armed Forces, received a Medal of Honor from the President. Robert Miller died in action during the Afghanistan war, gave up his life to save millions of others.

Read the entire story, here.

Finally, Obama gets my respect for this one time. This was the right thing to do. Robert Miller is a real life, John Rambo. 🙂

Report: Sam Raimi will finally get right to work on “Oz: The Great and Powerful” next…

Sam Raimi is finally ready to start filming, “Oz: The Great and Powerful”. The former, “Spiderman” director has already let Disney know that he’s ready to film it very soon. They still hope Robert Downey Jr., will be up for the leading role as the Wizard and it’s looking like Downey will be up for the role.  See the article here at, Deadline.

Hmmmm, I still wonder if Sam’s take on “Wizard of Oz” will be dark or will it be a happy film for children or a little bit of both. There’s gotta be a reason why Disney wanted Sam Raimi for this ’cause maybe there is a lot of dark and horror fiction related material in the script?

Report: Weezer hater is willing to pay the band $10 million to break up…

Weezer maybe a real popular band still but they still have haters out there too, this one hater, however, is taking the Weezer hate a bit too far. Don’t you think? A man named, James Burns has started a donation campaign to raise $10 million dollars to pay Weezer for them to break up. See the donation, here. Yes, James Burns is serious about this. Mr. Burns did an interview over at the Stranger blog to talk about it.

Sounds like this guy is completely jealous of Weezer’s fame and popularity. I’m not much a Weezer fan anymore, but it’s all up to the band to decide whether they want to break up or not. I don’t think Weezer will ever break up, no matter the cost. So this delusional loser, can keep trying. I don’t think he’ll be a success at this. Sounds like Mr. Burns wants to keep the $10 million for himself, so don’t buy into this scam, people.

What a loser this guy is! If you hate a band so much, just don’t buy their records or listen to them. Simple! This asshole is clearly jealous for sure!
