Theater Whore: The Wolverine

Before I start this will be full of spoilers. I was not a fan of the first Wolverine movie seeing as how Liev Schreiber seemed to be the only one that decided to take the script seriously. The rest of the film was a bloodless confusing film. My biggest problem is letting go of comic book shit and just watching a movie which is why I love when things have no history to them. I cant sit there and go “That is so not how that is supposed to happen!” 

With Wolverine you are dealing with a character that has decades worth of history in comics and has been alive for a few hundred years. Then you have the movie version (he has appeared in six films now) where they seem to mix things up even further. Okay, I am jumping ahead of myself. The Wolverine is a series of action scenes with a plot that if you kept thinking about it would make your face explode which would be okay with him because he can heal. Sometimes. Then fine others. Then not so much the next. Oh, fuck it.

Yay, Lindsay Lohan news! Sort of. Her mom, Dina, called into her daughter’s rehab to speak to her and was obviously hammered. She is now banned from contacting her now making her father Michael Lohan seem like the normal one which is a terrifying thing. 

Amanda Bynes is setting fires! She is on 5150 hold right now after cops were called after someone reported trespassing. Soon afterwards Bynes carrying a small gas tank set a fire in some random ass old folks home driveway. They called a cab for her and when she told the cabbie that she didn’t have money he booted her. She was found standing near the fire with part of her clothing burned. This all happened in Thousand Oaks, CA. Who let her in my state?!

Run away! Run away!

Actor Dennis Farina passed away and that sucks because he was an awesome actor.

Theater Whore: Let Me Explain

Kevin Hart’s newest standup film Let Me Explain is an okay standup book ended by not so funny video footage. I think Hart is one of the funniest people alive right now and was excited to check this out but after sitting for about twenty minutes watching a skit that wasn’t funny and ran for too long followed by just watching him thank crowds all over the world I was dying to laugh. Literally. I have a condition.

Hart discusses his life since being divorced and what led to it happening. It is sort of funny but went on for way too long. The funniest part involves a bum flicking your lip. I cracked up at that and hoped it would keep going like that. It didn’t. Next thing you know the damned thing is done and here are some more footage of him and his friends not being all that funny.

Theater Whore: This Is The End

I put off for a long while watching This Is The End and I’m not quite sure why. It has done well but I have only heard from one person I knew that it was good. So I finally watched it and laughed my damned ass off. This was one of the funniest movie I’ve seen since Tropic Thunder and Stepbrothers. This is about a bunch of friends, all celebrities, that end up experiencing the end of the world during a party and trying to figure out how to survive it.

Jay Baruchel shows up to meet with his friend Seth Rogen to go to a party. Jay isn’t all that excited about going since he doesn’t really know the people there and had a particular hatred for Jonah Hill. They spend the day getting high and then head over to James Franco’s house. Jay manages to upset Craig Robinson, Emma Watson, and witnesses Michael Cera, who is creepy and high as fuck, getting a blowjob and his ass eaten while drinking a Capri Sun in the bathroom. Rihanna ends up slapping him for smacking her ass. 

After Jay and Seth head to the store suddenly there are explosions and people are zapped with blue light that sends them floating into the sky. Jay and Seth race back to Franco’s home and everything there is fine. They don’t believe anything until earthquakes happen and a hole opens up outside and folks start falling into a fire pit.

Female mixed martial artist Chris Brown has finally removed all the graffiti that once covered a large wall outside his home. He says its not because his neighbors complained because he’s a big baby…that hits women.

Lamar Odom lost his shit after a photographer asked him about his alleged cheating on wife Khloe Kardashian. Odom was real polite at first and told the guy he wanted to talk to him. Then he grabbed all his shit, smashed it, then drove off with it a bit before dumping it on the street. I haven’t heard about any lawsuits yet.

Yet.

Charlie Sheen is fighting to not have to pay his ex wife Brooke Mueller anything a month. He has been paying $55,000 a month in child support to her which makes no sense when its him or Denise Richards taking care of the kids because his ex wife is always drunk or in rehab. Stay classy.

Then Sheen and some friends went looking for the Loch Ness Monster. I’m serious. He did that.

Theater Whore: Pacific Rim

Giant robots punching monsters in the face! Tonight I got to see Pacific Rim two days before the premiere and I fucking loved this movie. After Kiyoshi (click here to check out and purchase his short story its very good) tagged me in a post with the trailer I damn near lost my mind. No, I actually did lose my mind. 

I have always wanted to see this movie without even knowing it. I never thought that while I was alive that I’d get a cool giant robot movie. Don’t even mention Transformers. I swear I will scissor kick the shit out of anyone that thinks this is even close to that crap. Guillermo Del Toro who has made almost nothing but incredible films has managed to create something that is not just amazing to look at, but has a real story, great acting, and real laughs in it. 

One of the best things about this movie is the fact that the robots seem to have real weight to them. When they moved it appeared as if they were real giant man made creations and not big computer generated images on the screen that looked real. When the pilots were hit it seemed painful. 

The movie stars Charlie Hunnam who is like a better acting version of Chris Hemsworth and was great in 3, 2, 1 Frankie Go Boom as one of the pilots of the Jaeger, Gypsy Danger, along with his brother. After a tragedy he retires and works in construction. The way the robots work is you and another pilot hook up to these robots and synch together. I won’t ruin why there needs to be two pilots but there really needs to be. Its not pretty when there aren’t. 

TV Slut: The Amazing World Of Gumball

This past week in Vegas I watched a lot of TV that I never get the chance to watch normally because fuck paying for cable. I watched this cartoon called The Amazing World Of Gumball. This cartoon is the perfect blend of funny, insane, and just straight up nonsense. I’m starting to think that the cartoons that are new and watchable (not a real word by the way) for me like Recess, Kim Possible, Phineas & Ferb, and Kick Buttowski are made by people around my age. I watched it with Christina and a little girl and though they laughed I was dying watching this cartoon.

Gumball is a small blue cat that has almost no self control. If he wants to do something he will, he will never admit he is wrong, and fails to do simple tasks because he gets bored easily. Damn it. That sounds almost like me. Moving on! He also has a friend named Darwin. it’s a fish…kinda. Gumball bought him as a pet but he grew arms and legs and started talking so they family adopted him. Darwin is a really nice and sweet “kid” and will do things with Gumball even though it always ends with explosions or pain. When they cry it’s the funniest damn thing!

Nothing But Gossip July 3rd 2013

Kevin Clash, the former voice of Elmo, can breathe a little bit easier. Three of his accusers apparently waited too long to try and get some of that sweet red and fuzzy money. That doesn't mean that even more dudes are gonna come looking for a paycheck from this perv.

Rapper 50 Cent is being accused of domestic violence with one of his baby mama's. Did you know that he had two kids and that one of them was 16 years old?

Rihanna released a video of herself twerking. I know I have mentioned twerking in the past and how it can be amazing if done in the right hands (meaning right ass). Rihanna and Miley Cyrus are the wrong hands. And did I mention that in the video she is twerking to Drake who is her on again off again face rearranger, Chris Brown?
