TRANSFORMERS FRIDAY Film Fiesta

Welcome to the Fiesta on this exciting TRANSFORMERS FRIDAY (TM) (C) (R)!!!

Last week I asked which classic movie most deserves a modern day remake. You voted that you think Hollywood should stop remaking classic movies and focus on making movies based on original ideas. Which I guess would also mean more movies based on books, video games, TV shows. Aw crap, the whole damn system is broken.

FF+

Welcome to the Fiesta!

Some sad news to report first, I received word last week that since the Fiesta is being downgraded from the Other FFF to just FF+. I can promise, however, that there will be no change in quality. As sad as it is, life goes on, and so shall the Film Fiesta +!

Last week I asked if you were sick of the 3D film fad. Most of you are, but I'm just glad that others found the Dudley Death Drop reference funny.

Friday Film Fiesta

Welcome to another thrilling edition of the Fiesta!

Last week I asked which of the newest changes to the Star Wars Original Trilogy upset you the most, and the response was overwhelmingly that Vader yelling "No!" during the climax of ROTJ is the most upsetting change. However, one joker decided to vote that he or she liked all the changes, meaning that person is either a troll or has severe mental issues.

9/11 Tenth Anniversary

I was watching the early NFL games today and partook in the moment of silence that took place prior to the start of the games, in honor of those who lost their lives ten years ago on September 11, 2001. Then I did it again during the afternoon games. In between those moments of silence there were more moments of silence. It got to the point where the moments of silence were no longer memorial, they were just annoying.

And it makes me wonder, will we as a nation EVER be over 9/11?

Now I'm not trying to sound unpatriotic, because I'm not trying to be. But I think it's ridiculous that every year we're supposed to stop everything we're doing and remember that horrible day. YES, I'll always remember where I was and what I was doing. I was in 7th grade, eating breakfast and about to go to school when my dad yelled at me from his room to turn on CNN. The rest of the day consisted of me trying to get information, which was nearly impossible due to my retarded school district banning teachers/schools from talking about it or showing anything on TV. The reason for this is because some retarded bitch mother called the superintendent and demanded they not show anything about the attacks in schools because she didn't want her kids exposed to it. Now this is stupid for so many reasons but that's a rant for another day about the pussification of America.

Anyway, the point is that I DON'T want to remember that day. And I wish the media would realize that. Yes, it was exactly ten years ago. You know what else had a tenth anniversary? Pearl Harbor. I found this article which talks about what happened during the tenth anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The answer: nothing, because people were over the attacks. It DOES point out that we're probably still making a big deal of the anniversaries because the war on terror is not over yet. Makes sense, but still.

I can't be the only one who doesn't want to relive that day every year.

Friday Film Fiesta

It’s baaack! After what feels like forever, it’s once again time to get down on the Friday Film Fiesta. But enough with the Rebecca Black references, there’s movies to talk about!

Evaluations

When I started this blog back in June I had hoped that I would be able to actually sit down and compose thought provoking blog entries and/or news reports each and every day, primarily stories and opinions based on the world of sports. The problem with this is that I'm just an average person, with no inside sources to any sports. I am not ESPN, Yahoo, FOX Sports, etc. I'm just your average guy on a computer. I come home from work exhausted and don't want to report on news that's already old by the time I get to post about it.

Therefore I have decided to reformat this blog. I will still be talking about sports, but rather than in depth coverage (which you can find anywhere, another reason I want to get away from that), I'll just be posting summaries, like for example, on Sundays post something like "NCAA Games from the Weekend" with my thoughts on games I actually watched. Same with NFL, NBA, etc.

I'd also like to add more reviews to the Blog, such as continuing my DVD reviews. I'd like to finish off The Simpsons and then move on to other shows such as Batman: The Animated Series and Spongebob Squaepants (don't hate). I'm also adding a new feature on Fridays called the Friday Film Fiesta, a compilation of news and events from Hollywood. This was a regular feature on my favorite Web site the Blog of Doom until the last few writers were forced to give it up due to work. I've chosen to take it over, and will be posting a "director's cut" here every week starting this Friday.

I hope the two people who might read this Blog will be entertained. I know I will be, and isn't that all that matters here?

Thursday Night Borefest

College Football kicked off tonight (and most games are still going on as I write this) but HOLY SHIT are they boring.

I'll never understand the obsession with televising games between non-BCS schools and BCS schools in primetime spots. For example, ESPN is currently televising a game between UNLV and Wisconsin, where Wisconsin is obviously winning big. Quick check of the score shows it's 51-17 with 8 minutes left to play. UNLV is making a garbage time comeback but I saw the beginning and couldn't stand to watch any more.

Then I check the rest of the games going on tonight, all blowouts featuring FCS schools going up against BCS schools. Boring. The only appealing game (Wake Forest at Syracuse in a BCS vs BCS matchup) is being "televised" by ESPN3, which I don't really consider as a televised game. I know Wisconsin has a lot of hype and might make a run for the National Championship this year, but why not televise Wake/Cuse?

Then I look at the schedule for Saturday and see that shit like Akron @ Ohio State will be on ESPN while Directional Michigan @ Michigan will be televised by ABC over Minnesota vs. USC.

WHO. THE. FUCK. CARES.

I would MUCH rather watch Minnesota vs. USC than watch a crappy blowout win by Michigan or Ohio State. I remember the last few years too, when ABC was televising these exact same shitty games instead of stuff like Georgia at Oklahoma State (in my area, at least, which made it even worse). Yes, USC will probably blow Minnesota out, but it's a BCS team vs. a BCS team, with a "historic background" (Big Ten and PAC-XX schools meet in the Rose Bowl every year) and is much more entertaining than Michigan winning a game 63-7 against a team that never offers any competition.
