The Mets are Ridiculous

If your a fan and stayed up to watch the game last night, you're only slightly better off than this guy up here. Honestly, please watch the recap but if you want the short story...

Ryan Church is only slightly more agile the Christopher Reeves. We went 0-7 with runners in scoring position. Luis Castillo would rather douse himself in gasoline than swing his bat. And Jeremy Reed made the 5th error of the night be sailing a throw to Ramon Castro that ended up in the stands as the winning run came into score. Only the Mets... Only the Mets...

Movie Review: Benjamin Button

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, think Forrest Gump except with a much lamer life, less hot girlfriend, and 3 hours worth of it.

P.S. It actually wasn't that bad- but I'd rather watch Star Trek again.

Verdict: 7 reverse aging buttons (out of 10)

Movie Review: Star Trek

I know I'm partial to watching movies in IMAX but this movie was fucking awesome. The only knock I have would be that it was a little long. I don't know much about the original but I know enough that this movie stayed true to it's roots without being corny about it. The action scenes were sick; nonstop and action packed. Bottom line? If your looking to have a good time at the movies without giving or receiving oral- this is it!

Verdict: 8.5 Photon Torpedo's (out of 10)

Movie Review: Notorious

Yea, I guess this movie was all right- er, I mean aigh't. But I have to admit I was a little disappointed. This movie could have been pretty good if PUFFY AND BIG'S MOM DIDN'T PRODUCE IT!!! It would be like me writing an autobiography and asking that I'm played by Orlando Bloom. Come on!

How far far off is it? I can't say for sure but after talking to a couple of friends that are pretty close to hip hop artists and producers, I can't believe much of the story. Apparently, Puff ripped off Biggie, royally. BIG was the entire talent and Puff pocketed all his dough. Also, in the movie, everyone in Bad Boy's family is a saint and Puff continuously says "let's change the world!" Ummm, can Christopher Wallace solve the oil crisis? Is he going to somehow stop the pirates in Afica from stealing cargo ships? No? Oh, that's right- he's going to make music about the ghetto for white kids in college to dance to... Not quite Nelson Mandela but close.

And I'm sorry, I find it hard to believe Lil' Kim was a business woman (as portrayed in this movie). I pretty sure she was just a Ho.

But there were two very notable bright spots. First, Jamal Woolard, who played Biggie was phenominal. It was not only an exact likeness, the voice was earily similar. Excellent job. Second, they did a great job of showing us how songs were created from there everday lives. Maybe a friend constantly said a certain phrase or when two people were fighting lyrics from a popular song would be shouted... it was a subtle touch that real fans would definately appreciate.

Verdict: 6.5 Dancing Diddy's (out of 10)

I did Love College

This song was put on to me by my boy Chaz- this was the exact type of song that I would have played 14 times in my frat house in college. At first I was pretty excited about this song, then you just get depressed cuz that life is over and it's depressing as fuck, lol! Seriously though, the one thing about college is that waking up in the morning not knowing what that night had in store for you was the greatest feeling that you have ever had leading up to that point in your life. To quote Kevin Garnett "anything was possible". Kudos to Asher Roth for hitting that shit on the head.

Citi Field

I got the call from my dad around 5 telling me that we were going to the Mets game... it was aweseome. This place is absolutely ridiculous. The Mets did a great job of building a great home for our Metropolitans. I won't bore you with the details but we managed to sneak ourselves right behind the Mets dugout for the last 4 innings. Our seats to start the game were just as great. We were right on the right field wall- what a sweet seat. If the Mets win a WS, that wall is getting jumped by fans because it's only 7 feet tall. All fans need to see this place!

SICK!

Dad and me in the Rotunda

Of course the Martinez Family got a brick... not that kind of brick you jerks!

The Heather Locklear of sports paraphernalia... no matter the age, she still looks great!

Tucker Max Movie

Oh happy day! One of my favorite novels of all time- and winner of two Pulitzers is being made into a movie. If you aren't familiar with Tucker Max- I have him linked on the right. Check it out!

Turns out the movie is post production and should be out this year. Tucker will be played by Matt Czuchry, who I am told was the perfect choice cuz' he's "really fucking hot"... ehhhh, I would have casted Tom Cruise because Tom doesn't know how to make a bad movie and the world cannot afford to have this movie suck.

Movie Review

If you like movies with plot progression, character development and a "beginning, middle and end", then The Day the Earth Stood Still is not for you. This movie couldn't have been more pointless than trying to to find a hot girl at last call. Seriously, avoid this movie- oh yea, Will Smith's kid is in it. And he is an even worse actor than his dad. EEEEK!

Random Ponderance

Those who say "that's a good question" usually don't have a good answer.

Baseball is back!

I was on my way back from Killington when I threw on the Fan. That's when I heard the sweetest sound ever- Howie Rose calling the first pitch of the New York Metropolitan season. Baseball is one of those things that you never realize just how much you missed until you haven't had it in a while.

I'm hoping to get to Citi Field soon- maybe during their first day game... not Opening Day as tickets are going for a minimum of a $100 but very soon.
