Your Sunday Night Rundown of HBO



HBO, a great organization. The cream of the crop if you will. They've tackled everything from movies, to documentaries, to sports, and their biggest success would have to be their series'.

Until now.

Last night I sat down to watch my HBO shows, just like I do every Sunday with my wife. But last night I thought to myself about half way through True Blood. Self, these are not the shows you used to watch on HBO. These are more like shows put out by Tyler Perry.








True Blood: The show is in just its second season, and it's already starting to resemble Entourage in its 6th season. And that is not a compliment. The writing has always been just ok, but the acting is getting to resemble the cult indie hit Fool's Gold. Marie Ann is needs to go away. I used to hate this plot line of Marie Ann controlling everyone and she would do this by shaking. (special effects via Planet 9). But now it's the only story line and the whole show. Everyone loves HBO because you see boobs in their shows and the word FUCK. But I don't want to see 55 year old women's bologna tits, and bald men's fat stomachs.


PS - Fuck this show: thank God we have next weekend off.








Entourage: I've defended this show longer than any man should. I've stood by and told everyone that the show was still ok. The same way a dude says, "na man, she's still got it where it counts, I'd still hit that shit." When talking about Pam Anderson or Carmen Electra. You know a show has jumped the shark when the best character on it is a gay Secretary.

PS: If a chick like Sloan ever wanted to date a pale mother fucker like "E", real cool name Eric. The world would turn inside out and spit us all out into the final frontier.








There is hope people. East Bound and Down IS signed on for a second season.

AM is When People are Supposed to Wake Up



DJ AM is dead. I know. I know. Morn my children. Take a moment, dry your eyes, and realize that one of the greatest DJs is gone. (Is that a sentence that you never thought you would read?) This is really a post that I should have written in 2008. AM was in a plane crash with another person made famous by MTV, Travis Barker. They were the only survivors. But death had a plan. This is full proof that the documentary series Final Destination, is true and all to real. You can escape death, yes. But death is letting the record skip, letting the record skip, letting the record skip, letting the record skip, letting the record skip. Travis Barker better watch his back. I'm thinking a drum stick through the ear is what death has planned for him.




good night sweet prince.
You will be missed, for we don't really know what you ever did to be famous, but we miss you.

golf makes me fall asleep

isn't it awesome how watching golf puts you to sleep? A great way to spend an afternoon on the couch is to watch golf and doze off. The TV guys telling us what's going on have the best voices. I bet when they read their kids a bedtime story, they are out like a rock by the end of page one.

John Hughes Made My Life What it is



Most posts on here are about ripping people who suck. Trying to show the dozen of people who read this blog the people that don't deserve anything they are handed, and my wishes for them to ripped limp from limp from a stage ape. But this post is different. This post is about some one that changed a generation forever. John Hughes.

John Candy in my mind is one of the top comedians of all time. Thank God Hughes wrote for Candy. Can you image Uncle Buck with out Candy? Think about Planes, Trains, and Automobiles without John being the one selling shower curtain rings.

The man has penned the lines from the movies we quote on a daily basis. And for some reason I find that to be the coolest thing on the planet. When my buddies and I run off lines from a movie, I often think about what it would be like to be the one who wrote those words.

"I wouldn't let you sleep in my room, if you were growing on my ass."

"You want a beer? It's 9 o'clock in the morning. huh, scotch?"

"Falls down a well, eyes go crossed. Gets kicked by a mule, they go straight again. I don't know."

"Ever heard of a ritual killing?"

"Chet is gonna shit a solid gold brick when he sees us."

"Six bucks and my right nut says we're not landing in Chicago."

"20 bucks says that Cameron is sitting in his car debating weather or not to come over."

That's just naming a few. I wouldn't say John Hughes was the voice behind my generation, because he didn't say a single line or phrase we repeat and live by everyday. I would say that he was the man who told every story we experienced. The man that showed the world every moment of life that you wanted to forget. But showed it in a light that made everyone laugh at the most difficult moments of a persons life.

"Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain... and an athlete ...and a basket case ...a princess ...and a criminal... Does that answer your question?... Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club. "

new yorker with down syndrome gets 97.5 million






most of you have heard about the amazing story of the retard who lead the New York Football Giants to a Super Bowl victory two years ago. About his talented older brother Payton, who has been wildly successful on the football field and Saturday Night Live. Well apparently the people of New York have gotten together and raised 97.5 million dollars for this special man. I'm just so happy for this little guy, and the Giants for their participation in the make a wish foundation. It really is great to see a team go out there and sacrifice their next 6 seasons, just to make this little tard's dreams come true.


I don't think he should be drinking. But I guess he has to live it up. I hear their life span isn't the longest. (It's so cute how this girl is showing him some attention. People that work with the challenged really are special)

russell crowe is back on my badass list

I
I wonder if Crowe and Eddie Vedder are related?


People hate Russell Crowe. It's a law in some countries to do so. But what has two thumbs and thinks he wants to party with Russell Crowe? This guy. (boy that was worse written then in my head) According to news from WENN, Crowe has been banned from his favorite pub in England because he refused to leave once closing time came around. The article aslo states that this is the first pub in England that Crowe has been banned from.


I'm on board with Russell on this one. How can you get mad at a dude that just wants to party? I know I can't. Remember when you're in a mood to knock a few more back then usual? That time when they are going down just a little too easy, and everything is clicking just right. The worst thing that can happen is some one saying closing time. People are always saying Crowe is a trouble maker and that he's hard to work with. Maybe that's because people keep pulling the booze from his had. I know I would be pissed if something like that happened to me. Crowe would be a great drinking buddy, there is no argument about that. He's got good size if you get in a fight, and he doesn't shave so he looks like an average brocat. I also thought that people in England loved to party and have a few "pints". This story is so "not" the England I have pictured in my head. My England is full of Sienna Miller look-a-likes that drink Harp and not cosmo's. Everyone goes nuts over the local football team, and walks to the pub with every intention the will not be walking, but stumbling home around 4. My England has people well into their 70's doing this at least 4 nights a week. Fights happen where people are punched in the face, and then it gets broken up and everyone laughs as they have another pint. Russell feels this way, I know it.


Russell Crowe isn't the problem, you are England. And now I'm upset.
