King Kamala

Got this DVD that features the ill-fated IGeneration PPV from '00/'01ish for a dollar at Wal-Mart. For those who can't remember (who could forget), it was a pay per view from Australia that was main evented by a street fight between Curt Hennig Vs Dennis Rodman in a street fight. In other "action", Tatanka fought The One Man Gang for the International title, Brutus Beefcake fought The Barbarian and The Legion of Doom went against Public Enemy in a tables match. I'm expecting some Heroes of Wrestling level crap here- is my assumption correct?

This discussion sort of ties into what I'm going to say. You know what's a surprisingly awesome (well maybe just surprisingly awesome to me) pizza topping? Fried Eggplant. Possibly could be my new favorite pizza topping. The shit is heavenly.

Back home for the long weekend and pumped to finally see some movies that eluded the town where I go to college. I'll be seeing 3:10 to Yuma tomorrow night (It's inexcusable that the theater up there didn't have it, it's Russell Crowe and Christian Bale and it was the #1 movie in its opening weekend!) and I'm seeing Stardust on Sunday. I'm pleasantly surprised that Stardust is still in theaters up here.

I saw it a month ago and am surprised people are really getting worked up one way or another about it. It's a movie that's just kind of there. And a remake of Cupid is so random, that's like if NBC decided to do a remake of Freaks and Geeks

Bob Dylan- Jokerman I've got buy Infidels soon, I'm too much of a Dylan and Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler fan to not have it in my collection even if it is a bit uneven. Plus Sly and Robbie!

oh come on man, he was the "funny Beatle"! And it's not like anybody had high expectations for a great solo career like the other three.

I was going to suggest Mako as a potential replacement for Mr. Miyagi but found out on IMDB, he died last year. Damn Extremely belated RIP Mako

That rumor is laughable- Will Smith's son is like 8 years old. I don't think even Hollywood is stupid enough to do that.

I liked it alright. I thought Dafoe was the standout of the movie personally. I do have Straight Time somewhere way down on my NetFlix queue.

Oh and I love The Langley Schools Music Project cover of "Desperado", even more than the original. If I ever make a quirky western, I'll be sure to use it in the soundtrack.

BUMP (since I've been renting a lot of movies lately) I rented a couple of documentaries, American Hardcore and Slasher. Got a chance to watch the latter but not the former. Slasher was pretty damn entertaining and had a hell of a soundtrack. The Slasher looks like a cross between Steve O and a redneck version of John Waters. Surprised to see John Landis directed an IFC original documentary, didn't know his career had fallen that hard (then again looking at the movies he's directed in the past twenty years, it's easy to see why). Still a damn fun movie.

What are the other albums of his that you have? Debut, Born To Run, Darkness on The Edge of Town, Nebraska, Born In The U.S.A. and Tunnel of Love plus Live from The Hammersmith Odeon '75 and The 3 disc Essential.

I'd recommend NYC and Boston. Though if you want to visit somewhere a bit smaller, my old stomping ground of Portland, Maine is a really nice place to visit. It's got plenty of outdoorsy stuff and it's got the 2nd highest restaurants per capita in the country and the lowest number of fast food restaurants per capita. Though how nice it is really depends on the time of year you visit, from early May to early October, it's pretty nice. After that, it's ghost town. While you're in the states, you should take a jaunt up to Montreal, that's one hell of a city.

I'm a bigger Powerade fan- though I'm not particularly fond of either. I mostly drink red Powerade from time to time- out of nostalgia. About every day of my freshman year of high school, I had red Powerade and two of the snack sized bags of Humpty Dumpty BBQ chips for lunch. Yep, I was a nutrition minded youngster.

Granted, Southland Tales looks bad but how many times has a single movie killed an actor's career? The Rock will just go back to doing family comedies and action movies. I think they're just dumping the movie into theaters anyways without much hype so he should be fine.

Forgot to mention I picked up this on ITunes last Friday; Damn fine album. I'm loving "Johnny 99" and "Atlantic City". I think The River is next on my list of Springsteen albums to get.

I'm really not sure. I'm a big fan of mid 70s Dylan but I'm still kind of befuddled as to why I did that. Hopefully I can rectify the situation this weekend. I must say I do like Street Legal. Hard Rain not so much but it was only $8

Why is everybody (not saying people here but all the writers of the reports I read) so shocked that The Game Plan beat The Kingdom? The Kingdom is a mildly controversial R-rated movie that's got decidedly mixed reviews and it's not like Jamie Foxx or Jennifer Garner are really huge box office stars. The Game Plan is the one kids movie out there right now. Hey what's the word on The Heartbreak Kid? I'm mildly intrigued but it looks like it could be really terrible.

A bunch of Bob Dylan CDs were on sale for $8 at the local independent music store so I picked up a pair. Hopefully next week, I can pick up Highway 61 Revisited (which I inexplicably don't have). Anyways I picked up; and Haven't gotten a good chance to really listen to either but I can see why Hard Rain is considered one of his worst live albums. It's definitely interesting. Not sure which way I feel about it but I'm glad I only paid $8. Haven't listened to much of Street Legal but I love "Changing of The Guards"

Think it's a combination of both but it probably leans more towards the former. You'd probably have to go way back to find two seasons in a row where they didn't add anybody.

I really liked The Solid Gold skit as well. Probably my 2nd favorite part of the night behind The Digital Short.

Kingdom was a lot better than I expected and I expected it to be pretty damn good. Just a flat out great action-thriller. Berg's really come a long way since Very Bad Things and The Rundown

I don't know if it counts as a guilty pleasure but I nearly bought the new Ringo Starr's Greatest Hits compilation and definitely would have bought it if were cheaper than $14. Now I know he's definitely got the weakest solo career of the Beatles, but nobody can deny the sheer awesomeness of "Back Off Boogaloo"

I kind of like pancakes but only if I have them somewhat infrequently- twice a month is all I can take.
