Are the people kidding me???

As always, on Monday morning, I go to Yahoo! to see how the box office did. I was surprised to see that Jackass Number Two was the number one movie this past weekend. But what can I say? Hollywood is DEAD and people are working with what they have.

Anyway, in 1949 they made a movie. "All the King's Men". This movie went on to win two Oscars.
Fast Forward to 2006, they remade the movie, with an all stellar cast, Sean Penn, Anthony Hopkins, etc...... How did it do at the box office? It TANKED [much like Janet's Album will].

Do you know what some dude in Sony said?

"I'm not sure," said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony. "It's a movie that we love and believe in, and we hoped that it would perform better."

Is he serious??
Do these people do research??
Since when has a remake ever done as well as the original especially an Oscar winner??

All these Hollywood execs need to think about something: People would rather watch a SEQUEL to nonsense and dumbness [Jackass] than watch a remake.........

I'm so done with Hollywood.

Tomorrow, I shall discuss "The Last King of Scotland" [another thorn on my side]

Arson or Purchase?

I don't buy CDs. I burn them. Im proud of it too. All those "artists" out there can come sue me if they want and while they are at, they can sue Dell for the CD burner that came with my comp.

That being said, my love for Jon B knows no bounds and I got last cd [Stronger Everyday] for my birthday. Let me just say that it is a little dose of heaven. Loving it.


My crush aka boo suggested I get this CD [Hero - Kirk Franklin]. I did. Willingly.

No words can describe the talent that is Kirk. No Words.

The Zahir and my love for Paulo Coehlo

Ever since I read The Alchemist, I have made it a mission to read all of Paulo Coehlo's books. I read "Eleven Minutes" but it did not deliver.

As for The Zahir, I wanted to post some of the things that were said in this book but it was due at the library so I dont have the pleasure. It was such a good book. It made me cry............ just a bit. Not a lot.

Premise:

A wife leaves the husband. He spends about two years and change trying to figure out why and how and in the process grows and changes...... Oh my! My heart was so touched by this book. I cant express it in words.

I give it a 8.75/10

Throwback Thursday

Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam - I wonder if I take you home!!!!

In retrospect

I love lists.... and this is the list of movies that have come out this year that are worth a damn!

• V for Vendetta
• The Devil Wears Prada
• Pirates of the Carribean
• Little Miss Sunshine

That is all!!

[Im probably forgetting one... but not more than one!]

Season Premieres!!!!

Hugh Laurie is the hotness!

So the season premiere of House was last night. What can I say????? It was interesting. Is he becoming soft? I sure hope not!!!!
I think that he needs to get the limp back though. There was something about that limp.... I dont know......

He still is the hotness!!

And for the first time... I watched Nip/Tuck! I still wont get into it but it was an interesting first episode.

Bumble Bee Resurrection

Hilarious movie. Four Stars. Definite thumbs up! Good Times. Indie movie by the way. Worth every second I spent at the movies!!!!!
