Well, back to blog about some stuff, live from New Hampshire. Gonna try and do some skiing this week, weather doesn't seem to want to cooperate tomorrow, but the rest of the week should be good. Now on to some important matters.
Friday night was spend drinking malt liquor, eating fried chicken and watching some movies, first of which was the 1974 classic T.N.T. Jackson, staring the October 1969 Playboy Playmate Jeannie Bell, and just in case you haven't seen it, here it is:
Yup, that's the whole movie on youtube, which is probably better quality then the dvd copy that we watched, which was so ghetto that it didn't even have the standard DVD logo on it, it has some weird version. There was Karate, afros, jive talk, terrible acting, low budget stunts, funky music, plot that makes no sense, TNT Jackson brother was in Japan for some reason and got killed, and now she wanted revenge, what more do you want?
Next up was the 1976 classic Velvet Smooth, which featured this awesome theme music, as well as an amazing couch:
You may notice the Special Guest Star is Emerson Boozer, and you might be thinking to yourself, I've heard that name before. Well, maybe you haven't and no it's not Carlos Boozer's dad, however he was a former NY Jets running back, 2 time pro bowler, Super Bowl III champion, and also has the distinction of being the first player ever to score a game winning TD in a regular season in sudden death overtime. Want more, well you can get an autographed jersey right here only $339, that's a steal. Anyway more of the same in this one, kinda a Charlie's Angels thing going on with this one, plot made even less sense, I really have no idea what was going on, I think everyone ended up having a mustache and being a bad guy except the women, and the movie just sort of ended, not sure what happened. The third movie that was on the books but was never watched was Honey Baby, Honey Baby, apparently some women wins a trip to Lebanon and then the government got overthrown or something, sounded amazing, but it didn't happen.
Ok, so speaking of movies, albeit on the other side of the spectrum, I was watching Goodfellas yesterday, on AMC, so it's not quite the same, but anyway, haven't seen it in a while, and I was kinda amazed by the number of random people that are in the movie. Samuel L Jackson and Michael Imperiolli I was aware of, but then Debi Mazar aka Shauna the publicist from Entourage, Kevin Corrigan, who has been in a ton of stuff, in a bunch of different genres, most noticeable Superbad, Pineapple Express and Grounded for Life, but also American Gangster and The Departed, and then of course his most recent effort co-staring with Triple H in The Chaperone. Also Mike Starr, who has also been in a ton of stuff, but most will know him as one of the henchmen from Dumb & Dumber, or you may remember him from Cabin Boy, but probably not, he was also in a recent episode of the Office. However the one that totally caught me of guard when I saw him, and I think he was in the movie for like 2 seconds, Tobin Bell aka the Jigsaw Killer from the Saw movies, he played a parole officer.
Ok, so speaking of Goodfellas, which despite Joe Pesci winning the supporting actor Oscar, was beat out by Dances With Wolves for Best Picture and Kevin Costner beat out Martin Scorsese for best Director. The Oscars are tonight, so just gonna throw out my predictions for the 6 awards that people actually care about, I mean best lighting? who cares? best costume design? get the hell out of here. So here we go. For Best Supporting Actor, I think this one is a no brainer, Christian Bale for the Fighter is gonna win this one, now while the only other film in this that I saw any of the actor nominated was The Town, for which Jeremy Renner was nominated, and he was good, but Bale was far better. Next up best supporting Actress, and while I don't totally understand how 2 actresses from the same movie can get nominated, Melissa Leo was better then Amy Adams, so why did Amy Adams even get nominated? With that said, I have a feeling that even though I feel like Leo should win, Adams may split the vote, which could open it up for Hailee Steinfeld to sneak in there for the upset, didn't see the other 2, so can't really say anything about them, ultimately I'm gonna stick with Leo to win it though. Best Actress, well this one is just a shot in the dark, cause I haven't seen any of these movies, clearly the buzz has all been for Natalie Portman, which tells me there's a good chance that she doesn't win, so gonna go with Annette Bening to win this one. no real reason other then why not? Moving on to Best Actor, I've only seen True Grit and Social Network, and of course all the buzz is for Colin Firth, and while Bridges was good, I kinda feel like he just got to nom cause he won last year and cause John Wayne won for that role, I don't see him pulling a Hanks and winning 2 years in a row, and Jesse Eisenberg, he was better in Zombieland, ok maybe he wasn't, but I don't think he's winning here, James Fraco is hosting, so it would be weird if he won. I guess I'm gonna stick with the buzz and go with Firth. As for Best Director, ideally the best director directs the best movie, makes sense right, now out of the directors nominated, I did like The Fighter the best, of the movies I saw, but I feel like it's gonna go to David Fincher for the Social Network, he did direct Seven and Fight Club after all, not to mention, the "Straight Up" and "Forever Your Girl" for Paula Abdul, "Janie's Got a Gun" for Aerosmtih, not to mention "Freedom '90" for George Michael, "Cradle of Love" for Billy Idol, "Judith" for A Perfect Circle and "Only" for Nine Inch Nails. Now for the big one, for Best Picture, based on what I just said, Social Network should win if David Fincher wins the Best Director, but I don't know, I could see an upset here, I only actually saw 4 out of the 10, which is a little low, but Toy Story 3 isn't winning, I enjoyed Inception and The Fighter, but I don't see them winning, True Girt wasn't bad, but I don't understand how it wasn't nominated for a Golden Globe, but yet, gets a ton of nominees for the Oscars, either way not gonna win. So, that leaves Social Network, or something that I didn't see, so I guess I got to go with the Social Network, not gonna go against my theory about directors, so there it is.
Want to point out that I got a view the other day from Russia, and while I still haven't figured out exactly how it works, is it someone actually from Russia, someone who has a profile that lists them as being from Russia, but they don't actually live there, or they just jokingly put in Russia, I have no idea, but I'm gonna assume that it was Ivan Drago, that's right a fictitious character from a movie that was actually played by someone from Sweden, or it could be Nikolai Volkoff which actually might make sense if the view from Iran was actually the Iron Sheik.
So recently I've actually had some people coming up to me and telling me they have actually have been reading my blog, or asking me what's up with the blog or whatever, I then tell them thank you, and ask them how they got into my apartment and why they aren't wearing pants, then it gets awkward. But anyway, glad that people are reading. Moving in on my 2 monthaversary of the blog, trying to think of some new and fun things to do with this thing, almost did a running diary the other night with the urban ladies movies, but didn't happen. Maybe if the Paulie Shore day happens, I'll do one for that. Well, that's all I got for now, but as always we end it with a little treat for everyone. This one, I don't know, heard this song on a radio today, hadn't heard it in a long time, so just gonna go with it:
It's a quality song that often goes overlook in favor of their bigger hits. Video is really nothing special when compared to some of their others, but whatever.

Things be Perkolating
Well, for a team that a few weeks ago wasn't planning on doing anything big at the trade deadline, the Celtics did a lot of stuff today. Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson to OKC for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic. Ok, clearly the Celtics needed a SF to back up Pierce, but given the fact that both O'Neal's are hurt, not sure that given up Perk was the greatest thing to do, although maybe the knee injury is worst then they said, and his contract is expiring. But also giving up Nate, ok, so that leaves Von Wafer and Avery Bradley to back up Rondo? Jeff Green is a solid pickup, Krstic I'm not so thrilled about, but we are gonna need a big man given that the Celtics also traded Luke Harangody and Semih Erden to Cleveland Cavs for a 2nd round draft pick, which is Minnesota's 2013 2nd round pick.Then on top of all this, the Celtics traded Marquis Daniels, who could be out for the rest of the year, to Sacramento for cash considerations. What does this all mean, well in addition to Green and Krstic, it also opens up roster spots for the Celtics to sign anyone that ends up being bought out, Troy Murphy and Rip Hamilton's names have come up so far, not sure if either will happen, or if they are good fits, but we shall see, the roster is certainly not set at this point. Tonight will be interesting, assuming Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic aren't there, although they might be, not that far to Denver, and with Shaq and Jermaine still out, there will only be 8 guys available, so could be interesting.
In other basketball news, a bit surprised by the Deron Williams trade, but I guess since the Nets missed out on Carmelo and had a package ready to go, Deron had kinda run himself out of Utah, and I don't think he had an intention of signing an extension with them, so there you go. But it's kinda interesting to see a team like the Nets, that really have no chance of doing anything this year, getting a big time player. As far as all the other trades, most of them just seemed like teams in the middle of the pack just moving stuff around, mostly for money reasons then anything else, but whatever.
Ok, so forgot to mention this in the last post, but Blake Griffin dunking over a car, was kinda cool and all, the pass out of the sunroof by Baron Davis was pretty cool, so cool in fact it got him traded to Cleveland. With all that said, the dunk itself was not all that impressive,
So, after having a bit of a scare with my car back in December and thinking that something was really wrong with it, and it turned out to be some clamp or something minor, don't think that I'm gonna be as lucky this time around, something appears to be really wrong with it, making some really funky noises.
Work has sucked this week, good thing I'm on vacation next week, although that could set up some bad things for when I come back, we shall see. Looks like it should be a good week to go skiing, there about to get a nice little snow storm up there right in time for me to go up and hit the slopes, should be good.

Ok, that's all I got for tonight, but as always a little treat for you all, this one is a double dose and for no real reason.
Pretty Awesome parody if you ask me.

4 times the Blog
Alright ladies and gentlemen, been a while since I last blogged, so here's some new ish for you. First just want to talk about how awesome Threat Level Midnight was on The Office last Thursday, love how they went back to something from the 2nd season and followed up with it. The dance was awesome, not that I even dance, but if I ever dance again I'm doing the Scarn.
Bruins pulled the trigger on some big trades, nice to see them doing some stuff, I'm not totally sure that Tomas Kaberle and Rich Peverley are the answers, but we'll see what happens, they seem like they should be an upgrade over Stuart and Wheeler.
Speaking of trades, the Carmelo Anthony trade finally happened, seems like a crazy situation that might get crazier depending on what the Nuggets end up doing. Not totally sure why the Timberwolves got involved, I realize that the Knicks needed another team to take some guys to make cap room, but I don't understand the Timberwolves getting involved, I realize that probably don't care, and getting Brewer off their books is probably a good thing, but that team is a joke. In the end I don't see this really helping out the Knicks much this year, other then on a interest standpoint, which from being down there this weekend I can say there was a lot of buzz about Carmelo. Then the extension which while it's a 3 year deal, could end up only being 2 if there is no season next year.
So, as I alluded, went down to NYC this weekend, couple of observations, other then on the water or Times Square, everything looks exactly the same, and there is trash everywhere, I realize it's a big city and probably pretty hard to keep it all clean, but still when comparing it to Boston, not even close. The whole last call at 4am thing is a bit strange after being used to 2am for so long, when you get out of the bar and it's 4am it's a bit of a shocker. Plus things are kinda expensive. Here is the only picture I took all weekend:
That's a view from Long Island City, which I guess is in Queens, that's the East River and then some buildings including the Empire State building.
Ok, so for some reason the theme of the weekend became this:
I think we beat the joke into the ground, and now what was once was an extremely annoying commercial has been turned into a joke, which is good. We still never figured out why the resturant would allow this guy to be be playing the Piano and singing a song about how their steak sucks and that they should go to Taco Bell. Oh well, better then the Februany Subway commcerial, which was also heavily featured this weekend, but more because it would get stuck in my head.
So, after Elimination Chamber and Raw last night, looks like Wrestlemania is starting to take shape. The Miz vs John Cena for the WWE Title, most likely with The Rock involved. Edge vs Alberto Del Rio for the World Title, Randy Orton vs CM Punk and/or Nexus in some way, Big Show vs Wade Barrett and/or the Corre in some way, and after the returns last night Triple H vs The Undertaker. Which in case you didn't see it, here it is:
Had to work until 5:30 today for the first time in a really long time, It wasn't too bad, but I prefer working until 4, leaves a lot more time to do activities.
Something that may result from the trip down to NYC, on the way down a conversation about Shawshank Redemption eventually led to a discussion about Pauly Shore, which might result in a Pauly Shore day, yup, that's right a marathon of Pauly Shore Movies, Encino Man, Son In Law, In The Army Now, Jury Duty and Bio-Dome, and possible Pauly Shore Is Dead, but that might be stretching it. We'll be chillin' with the Weasel, Bud-dy!
Alright, that's all I got for now, but as always, even despite all the treats I already gave you, here's one more for you.
Attempted to do this this weekend, failed, but did get 840 yards and 8 TDs.

Hello
Well, some said news to report, Uncle Leo of Seinfeld fame is dead, what a shame.
Ok, so a couple random things that really have nothing to do with anything, but what the hell, let's just throw them out there. This one is for the Mad Men fans out there, so, at work, I have been getting requests from another company from someone named Joan Holloway, found that kinda interesting/funny.
Clearly I think it's probably a given that Albert Pujols will re-sign or get an extension with the Cardinals, but just for a moment lets talk this one out, David Ortiz's contract is done after this year, that will leave a hole a DH, how would Pujols look in Nomar's old uni, pretty nice, right, plus there's also the possibility that Adrian Gonzalez ends up not signing an extension or his shoulder is worse then he's leading on, hopefully neither of those things happen, but lets not rule out Pujols being a Red Sox all together. Course there's also that other team that could always make room for him, but let's not go there.
The Blog went over 300 views a few days ago, so that's pretty exciting, also got a view from Singapore, so that's pretty wild. So, that now makes 6 countries, so off to a good start for my plan of world domination.
What the hell happened Tuesday night with the Bruins, that was awful, then they trade for Chris Kelly, who apparently is having trouble getting into the country or something and can't play tonight, so that's a good start for him. Also there is the rumored Tomas Kaberle deal, said to be Blake Wheeler and a draft pick, but then the Maple Leaf GM said that wasn't happening, so who knows, and on the other shoe standpoint, Bruins and Blackhawks were apparently talking about a trade for Mark Stuart, so that would opening up the spot for Kaberle.
Guess Paul Pierce is alright, didn't like how the Celtics let the Nets hang around last night, but they pulled away at the end, now everyone needs to get healthy during the all-star break, course 4 of the guys are playing in the game, but whatever, it's an all-star game, Pierce and Allen are both also doing the 3-point shooting contest, that will be good.
Ok, that's all I got for today, but as always, just want to leave you with a special little treat:
Gotta say this is a bizarre video, but that was the 80s for you.

Your mind is about to be Blogged
Been a few days since the end of Sawathon, I think I recovered enough to make a new blog post. What do we have for you today, well, went to the Beanpot finals last night, BC won, which kinda sucks, would have like to see Northeastern pull that one off, but it didn't happen, Exciting game though 6-5 in OT, lots of scoring, OT, not sure what else you can ask for. Celtics pulled of a nice win against the Heat despite all the injuries, and a nice bounce back after losing to the Lakers on Thursday. Bruins didn't fair too well against Detroit, unfortunate that they couldn't build off the momentum of the Montreal game, hopefully they can bounce back tonight against Toronto.
Ok, so if you aren't watching Justified on FX, Wednesday nights by the way, you should be, rent, buy, download, netflix, whatever it is that you do Season 1 right now, and then start watching season 2, only 1 episode in so far, so you got time to catch up, but do it now. Timmy Olyphant is awesome in the role, and speaking of him, apparently he is in that new movie I Am Number Four, I saw a bunch of commercials for that movie, didn't see him in any of them, then all of a sudden there was one commercial that pretty much featured him, maybe cause Justified was starting up again, they decided to have him prominently in a commercial so people could be like "Oh, I know him" but I don't know how much he is actually in the movie.
Something that bugged me as a I was driving to work today. I'm in the lane to go straight, 5 or 6 cars ahead of me , there is a also a left turn only lane, that noone was in, so some guy goes down that lane, realizes he doesn't want to be in that lane, then just cuts info the straight lane, of course someone just let him in, why is this Ok? I was in the right lane waiting like everyone else and just cause this guy is an idiot and gets in the wrong lane, he gets ahead of me? I mean if we were at a Red Sox game, and there were 2 lines, 1 for beer and 1 for food, If I'm waiting in a long line for Beer, some guy gets in the shorter line for food, but then when he gets up to the front, realizes he wants to be in the beer line, someone isn't just gonna let him in front of the beer line, he's gonna have to go to the back of the line, right? So why is it different for driving? Now, I know what you are saying, it's much easier for someone to walk to the back of a line then have to drive to the back of the line, but still the principal should be the same. Ok, that's my people are stupid rant for the day.
Alright, now let's get into what you have all been waiting for, my reaction to the return of The Rock on Monday Night Raw last night, now while I was at the Beanpot and didn't see it while it was happening, I watched it as soon as I got home. Now, I wasn't 100% sure that it was gonna be The Rock, there was a pretty strong rumor that it was gonna be and it makes a lot of sense, a lot more sense then the rumored Justin Bieber would have been. Anyway, there is something that The Rock has when he is in front of a crowd doing a promo, that for whatever reason has never translated over to Dwayne Johnson in the movies, Not sure what it is, maybe because he can ad lib a bit and can be a little off the cuff, whereas in movies, it's more scripted and seems forced, I don't know. Liked the fact that he took a little shot at Cena, although if it lead to a match, he would actually have some reason to talk, but since it won't, somewhat vindicates some of the things that Cena has said. I would expect that with him making references to both Cena and The Miz, and after what happened at the Rumble, that The Miz vs John Cena with The Rock as some kinda of special ref or something is a pretty good bet for Wrestlemania, not sure if it will be for the WWE Title or not, but I would expect that it will be, can't see Jerry Lawler winning it, but you never know. In case you didn't see The Rock's return on Raw last night, here it is:
If you smell what The Rock is cookin'

SAW (The Orignal Short film)
Alright, here it is the original short film called Saw that eventually lead to the first movie, and then the entire series. It stars Leigh Whannell and was directed by James Wan, both of whom wrote it, and would then of course go on to write the first film and aspects of the others, and James Wan would also go on to direct the first film and Leigh Whannell would go on to star in the first film and cameo in later ones, and since it's on you tube, here it is:
Not gonna bother doing a running diary for this one, just gonna kinda review it. So, basically they story is pretty much Amanda's story from the first Saw, head trap, which actually went on to play a big roll in the last 2 movies as well. They also used the hospital orderly thing that Ben Linus ended up being in the first film as well. They gave him the name David he would ofcourse go on to be Adam, I guess maybe cause they wanted it to be a different character, needed to change up the name. Of course the creepy doll had to be in there, that thing is really the only thing that has a connection to all the films. They also had a nice little connection at the end with showing a bathroom, and we know how much that was used in the series.
So, there you have it, the Sawathon is complete, and we can all now go on with out normal lives, but don't take them for granted, or else you may find yourself in a jigsaw game one day. Or not, it's just movies. Hope you enjoyed this, might do some more of these in the future, not sure what or when, but we shall see.
Not gonna bother doing a running diary for this one, just gonna kinda review it. So, basically they story is pretty much Amanda's story from the first Saw, head trap, which actually went on to play a big roll in the last 2 movies as well. They also used the hospital orderly thing that Ben Linus ended up being in the first film as well. They gave him the name David he would ofcourse go on to be Adam, I guess maybe cause they wanted it to be a different character, needed to change up the name.

SAW VII/3D/Final Chapter
Now it is time for Saw VII, or Saw 3D or Saw The Final Chapter, whatever you want to call it, I will be watching the 2D version,. It was released on October 29th, 2010, originally it was supposed to be October 22nd, but since Paranormal Activity 2 was coming out that day, they decided to move it back a week. Rtarring Tobin Bell, Costas Mondylor, Betsy Russell and the return of Cary Elwes, then of course more people that I have never heard of. This one was directed by Kevin Greutert, which was actually a very involved story. Initially when signed on to do Saw VI, Greutert also had an studio option on his deal. So, after Saw VI performed so poorly, the studio initially decided not to pick up the option and went back to David Hackl who directed Saw V, but then after it was announced that Kevin Greutert was going to direct Paranormal Activity 2, the studio then decided to dump Hackl and pick up Greutert's option, much to his dismay, and probably just to try and screw over that movie, other then cause they actually wanted him. By the time he got on set they are already started with making sets and stuff, so it was hard for him to make any changes to anything, so probably not the greatest start. Anyway this movie bounced back a little bit from the previous and took in 45m domestic and 130m worldwide, but domestically was still the 2nd worst, guess the 3D didn't help enough, people were still too busy caught up in the Paranormal Activity buzz, as the sequel to that film again kicked saws ass. I'm sure the same thing with happen to that series, eventually something else will come along and derail that.
0:00: Lionsden and Twisted Metal, yup, I know, we all know, that's what we know so far. I have never seen this movie before, so I'm not really sure how much I'm gonna actually be commenting on this, just cause it was easier to do with the other movies cause I knew what was coming, so it was easier, but still gonna give it a shot.
0:01: So, we start off with Cary Elwes dragging himself with one foot through the hallways of the building, and soderizing his stump, interesting start, probably should have started Saw II off with that, but whatever 5 movies too late is good.
0:03: Now on to the random people that we have never seen before, being trapped in a game, along with the doll, but a nice little twist, they are in a window in front of a bunch of people.
0:05: Good to see that saws are in play for this one, it is saw, so there should be some saws
0:07: So, the 2 dudes that were being played by the same chick decided to work together and the chick died, bros before hoes.
0:08: Recap of the end of VI, with Jill turning of Hoffman, Hoffman escaping the trap with half his face cut off, but what we didn't see that Jill saw this and ran and hid.
0:10: Hoffman stitches himself up, nicely done.
0:11: "She looks crazier then a sack full of cats."
0:13: Jill cuts a deal to give up Hoffman, something tells me this is not gonna work out exactly as she plans, but she had to do something I guess, she knew he would be coming after her.
0:15: Ok, so we got this guy going around talking about how he survived a jigsaw trap, I'm guessing he's gonna end up in a trap again, unless he's just making the whole thing up to begin with. He certainly wasn't in any of the other movies.
0:18: They teased a dream scene in which Hoffman got Jill and killed her, figure it was way too early for that too happen, and it was.
0:19: More random people that we have never seen before in another trap, seems like they just want to have people killed off for no reason or much explanation other then just to kill people.
0:22: Well, that was quick, those racist all died quickly
0:24: Ok, so we got people who all survived a jigsaw trap meeting each other, the girl from Saw VI who cut off her arm is the only one that I know was featured in a previous movie so far, until....
0:26: Dr. Gordon everyone, he's still alive, and seems a bit upset about this whole thing, not sure where this is going yet, but could be interesting.
0:28: And Bobby, the guy doing the tour gets kidnapped, but by who I wonder, Hoffman, Gordon, someone else, Jill maybe? maybe Amanda or Jigsaw are still alive, ok probably not them, Shawnee Smith isn't even listed as being in the movie.
0:30: So, it would appear that Hoffman left the head trap thing that Jill put on him for the police to find, so that they would connect it to her with her prints.
0:31: And as I expected Bobby was lying, he was never in a trap before, so he couldn't have survive one, but will he now, and will his wife?
0:34: Flashback, we find out why Bobby decided to put on this facade. Seems reasonable enough, people love a survivor story.
0:37: It took Hoffman seconds to find out where the safe house was, that's not much of a safe house.
0:39: Ok, they are gojng with the formula we saw in III, IV and VI, one person dealing with multiple people that we don't really know, rather then II or V where we had a bunch of people at the same time, so that's a good thing.
0:42: That fish hook in the stomach thing was pretty nasty, not too many of these traps have made me too squimish, but that one seemed pretty rough, not totally sure why, there's been worse, but just the thought of what was happening there, was pretty bad.
0:44: Another flashback, we see jigsaw actually going and seeing Bobby and getting his auto on his book and talking about him being a liar, so he was on to him for a long time, I guess he must have been one of the people that were in those envelopes that jigsaw left for Hoffman.
0:47: That stupid doll comes crashing through a window out of nowhere, what is with that thing?
0:49: This Bobby dude is not very good at saving people, not that many of the others that have been in these situations have been all that good either, but atleast in the last one, the health insurance guy saved the old lady, and the 2 chicks on the merry go round, wonder if Bobby will be able to save anyone.
0:56: Wow, Bobby is terrible at this game, 0-3 so far at saving people, and that was just a terrible attempt.
0:57: Flashback time, we find out the history between Hoffman and the new guy Gibson, he saved his ass from some bum from attacking him, that's great.
1:00: Aw man, Bobby you got to pull your own teeth out to get the code, he better pull the right teeth, cause otherwise, that's gonna suck.
1:04: Well, Bobby did a good job of pull his teeth out, too bad he didn't put as much effort into saving those other people as he did with pulling his own teeth out.
1:06: Nice, he's getting the game that he made up that he said he survived thrown back in his face, can he actually do it, I have my doubts, but he did pull out his own teeth, so maybe.
1:10: Well, Hoffman just ruined Gibson and all those officers days, and he was hiding in a body bag, nicely played. Undertakeresque
1:13: Hoffman is just ripping through this police department like he was the Terminator looking for Sarah Connor, and now everyone is dead and Jill is locked in a cell, that was good planning.
1:16: Stupid bobby, didn't realize that the fake game he made up wouldn't really work, damn fool, now he's gonna be 0-4 saving people and is wife is gonna die.
1:18: Yup, 0-4 and he's probably gonna bleed out.
1:19: Hoffman puts the headtrap on Jill and she bites the dust, wasn't sure if that was what was gonna happen, but a fitting ending for her I guess.
1:21: Just when you thought that Hoffman was gonna get away with it, Dr. Gordon comes out of nowhere with a couple people and attacks Hoffman with pigmasks on. We then get treated to what happened after after the end of Saw, turns out Jigsaw helped Gordon and since then Gordon has been helping out Jigsaw all along. So, what does Gordon do with Hoffman, well, locks him up in the same bathroom where he was originally of course, but with no saw, GAME OVER!
Well, got to say that that was pretty good, a nice way to end it, if that was indeed the Final Chapter, remember that was also what they said back in 1984 about Friday the 13th Part 4, then they went on to make 6 more, plus Freddy vs Jason, and then rebooted it, so I don't really think that we have seen the end of Saw, but maybe just for now. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you maybe thinking to yourself, that was fun, but I guess it's over, well, there's where you are wrong, we are going all the way back to the beginning, before the feature film Saw came out, there was a short film called Saw that was a precursor to the movie, that'll be the next and final installment in the Sawathon.
0:00: Lionsden and Twisted Metal, yup, I know, we all know, that's what we know so far. I have never seen this movie before, so I'm not really sure how much I'm gonna actually be commenting on this, just cause it was easier to do with the other movies cause I knew what was coming, so it was easier, but still gonna give it a shot.

SAW VI
Now it's time for SAW VI, easily considered to be the worst in the series. Released on October 23rd, 2009. Starring Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Mark Rolston, and somehow Shawnee Smith, thought she was dead, maybe she isn't, possibly a lot of flashbacks, after all jigsaw is dead and Tobin Bell still gets top bill, then of course a bunch of people I've never heard of. Directed by Kevin Greutert, there is actually a funny story that involves him, but it has more to do with the next Saw, so I'll save it for then. Box office wise this is also the worst, grossing only 27m domestically and 68m worldwide, some of that had to do with it being bad, but alot of it had to do with Paranormal Activity blowing it out of the water, I still have yet to see it, so not sure it was worthy of all the hype, probably was just something new that got people's interest rather then the same old story. But anyway, let's begin
0:00 Lionfart, twisted tea, we know, great. I really don't remember too much about this one either, other than it being pretty awful, I feel like there is some power struggle between Hoffman and Jill over who should be carrying out John/Jigsaws requests and legacy, plenty of more flashbacks, a bunch of grusome games and killings, and that's about it.By the way want to point out that one of the producers and apparently named Hoffman, noticed this in the last one, so no wonder how Hoffman got his name
0:02: We start off 2 people trapped in a game, we don't know who they are, I'm sure that we will at some point and it might be connected to the main story somehow, but just a way to start off with some gore. Having to cut off more flesh then the other person to win, pretty nasty, fat guy should beat the skinny girl, but she's going for a whole arm, could be close.
0:06: And the arm has it, see you later fat dude.
0:07: Some weird footage of what seemed to be Amanda and the dude that killed Jigsaw's baby together driving somewhere, then back to recap what happened at the end of V, and we are off to a good start.
0:08, Now, I'm no doctor, or police officer or detective or crime scene person or anything like that, so I can't say I've seen may dead bodies, unless you could roadkill or stuff like that, but some of the bodies that have gotten manged just look way too fake.
0:10: Ok, so the main victim in this one appears to be a man in charge of a corrupt health insurance company, probably one that in someway denied jigsaw coverage or something like that.
0:13: Oh shoot, Perez from IV isn't really dead, twist.
0:15: I guess if the Saw series hadn't had one thing yet, it a sneaky sexy reporter looking to cause trouble in order to get a good story.
0:18: Recaping the Box that was given to Jill and the whole miscarriage thing, which actually got me thinking, which movie was worse, this one or The Box, cause that was a pretty awful movie, and sorta had the same sorta moral delilma thing.
0:20: So, they could tell that a different knife was used to cut the jigsaw piece out of the latest victum, but was similar to the one in the murder of Hoffman's sister killer, wonder if this has to do with that Tempered Steel thing from the last movie.
0:22: There starts the power struggle between Jill and Hoffman, apparently Jill has all the envelopes that jigsaw was working on, and Hoffman has to get them from her, which isn't going so well for Hoffman, I don't see this ending well.
0:24 Flashback/memory, Amanda tells Jill how Jigsaw helped him overcome her addition, so it's a nice story at that point.
0:27: Wow, big shocker there, Health Insurance guy get captured and put into a game, will he survive, I honestly don't remember, but in addition his wife and son get kidnapped as well, and some other people.
0:29: Ok, so this first test is basically to see who can hold their breath longer, that's just bad.
0:31: I wonder if any of these people that get killed in any of these movies, provided that they aren't totally manged, are organ donors, if they are actaully usuing their organs to save other people, cause that would be good.
0:35: The reporter gets kidnapped too, no shocker there. I don't like here chances.
0:38: The creepy doll is back flying out of nowhere, and the creepy laugh, damn that thing is messed up. So, he saves the old lady, rather then the young dude, clearly, jigsaw was trying to make a point about him making decisions about who to cover.
0:42: Don't really get why if this reporter has been writing all these stories about jigsaw and all this, how come this is only the first time we are seeing her, shouldn't she have been mentioned before?
0:45: Flashback time, Amanda, Hoffman and Jigsaw all together as one big happy family, setting up a game, this seems like a crew that I would never want to hang out with, too many issues there, plus the whole killing you thing.
0:48: Ok, so now we see Jill getting the key that we already knew she had cause she already used it, that just seemed like a waste of time, I still don't understand why she was wearing it around her neck.
0:50: More flashbacks, we learn what the issues were between jigsaw and the health care company. I wonder if this movie was trying to make a point about health care, like was this in addition to being a horror film so like it's Saw meets Sicko, that Michael Moore documentary..
0:55: This is quite an elaborate fire maze thing set up, and on top of that a brain piercer, that chick didn't stand a chance.
1:00: Uh oh, they are on to Hoffman, this could be trouble, something tells me that all these detectives are making it out of this movie alive.
1:02: I know I've said this a million times, not sure how anyone else has felt about this, but merry go rounds aren't used enough in horror films, they really should be used more.
1:04: So, after going back to the II formula in V, they returned to the formula they used in III and IV for this one, have a main person involved in a bunch of games that involve people that you don't know or care about and have them be the ones get killed, I think it works better.
1:07: So, he ends up saving 2 chicks on the merry go round, interesting.
1:10: Right now you are feeling helpless
1:11: Yeah, remember when I said all the detectives weren't making it out of this movie, alive, I realize it wasn't a shot in the dark, and yeah, they didn't.
1:16: Ok, so the kid pulls the lever and it doesn't nothing, but then somehow the mom knows what it does?
1:17: See, I knew Amanda with with that dude at the beginning of the movie, didn't realize that Hoffman had blackmailed here, and now Jill knows and gonna make him pay.
1:19: He made it with 1 second left? oh and twist, the mom and son weren't his family, the reporter was, they were the son and wife of some dude that he denied coverage too, and now his fate is in their hands, interesting twist, not great, but decent.
1:21 Another little twist, John gave Jill the Amanda trap, he wanted Hoffman to survive the trap she did, and that was what was in the box,
1:23: The son decides to kill the heath insurance dude, which was connected to what happened to Hoffman, but able to get out of it and survive, with half a face, but nonetheless.
1:31: Whoa, bonus scene after the credits, not sure I ever saw that before, Amanda telling the little girl not to trust the person who saves her, which ultimately was Hoffman. Interesting
Ok, well, you know, I'm not sure that VI was worse then V, I think I actually like it a little better, just cause of the whole not having to have to learn or care about a ton of characters that are all involved in the games. Kinda surprised the reporter survived, but whatever, got to have some people still alive for the next one, not sure if she's in it or not, but whatever. Ok, so gonna take a little break, get some food and re-energize and then I'll be back for SAW 3D aka SAW VII aka SAW: The Final Chapter. Just to note, I will not be watching the 3D version, just the 2D version. I haven't seen it before, so this will be my first viewing.
0:00 Lionfart, twisted tea, we know, great.

1:16: Ok, so the kid pulls the lever and it doesn't nothing, but then somehow the mom knows what it does?
1:17: See, I knew Amanda with with that dude at the beginning of the movie, didn't realize that Hoffman had blackmailed here, and now Jill knows and gonna make him pay.
1:19: He made it with 1 second left? oh and twist, the mom and son weren't his family, the reporter was, they were the son and wife of some dude that he denied coverage too, and now his fate is in their hands, interesting twist, not great, but decent.
1:21 Another little twist, John gave Jill the Amanda trap, he wanted Hoffman to survive the trap she did, and that was what was in the box,
1:23: The son decides to kill the heath insurance dude, which was connected to what happened to Hoffman, but able to get out of it and survive, with half a face, but nonetheless.
1:31: Whoa, bonus scene after the credits, not sure I ever saw that before, Amanda telling the little girl not to trust the person who saves her, which ultimately was Hoffman. Interesting
Ok, well, you know, I'm not sure that VI was worse then V, I think I actually like it a little better, just cause of the whole not having to have to learn or care about a ton of characters that are all involved in the games. Kinda surprised the reporter survived, but whatever, got to have some people still alive for the next one, not sure if she's in it or not, but whatever. Ok, so gonna take a little break, get some food and re-energize and then I'll be back for SAW 3D aka SAW VII aka SAW: The Final Chapter. Just to note, I will not be watching the 3D version, just the 2D version. I haven't seen it before, so this will be my first viewing.
SAW V
Time for Saw V, released October 24th, 2008. Starring Tobin Ball, Costas Mandylor, Scott Patterson, Betsy Russell, and joining the fun for this one Julie Benz, you might know her as Rita from Dexter or from the new show No Ordinary Family, and also a bunch of people I've never heard of. This time around directed by David Hackl, so Darren Lynn Bousman had apparently had enough, Saw V grossed 56m domestically and 113m worldwide, continuing the downward trend.
0:00: Lionsgate, twisted sister, blah blah whatever.I don't really remember a ton about this one, pretty sure this the one where it really starts to drop off. I'm pretty sure we still get a bunch of flashbacks. Hoffman is the man running the show now, can't really remember there being too much of a twist in this one, but I might be wrong so here we go
0:02: So, we start off with a random guy in a trap, we've seen this before, lets just get one out of the way I guess, pretty good trap setup here, lose your arms or get cut in half sounds like a sweet deal. Meanwhile I have no idea who this guy is, so who really cares, random killing, seemingly, and kinda BS, he pushed the buttons crushed his hands, and still got cut in half, that's no right, if jigsaw was still alive, that wouldn't have happened.
0:06: We go back and review the ending of IV, or III I don't know, both sorta. BTW, we still haven't found out what happened to that couple's daughter, have we. Now, I don't remember if they cover it, but that's the kinda thing that would have made this a better TV show, I'm supposed to remember that 2 years later?
0:08: And now Strahm gets pig masked, what I call when someone gets attacked and then put in a trap, and now is head is in a glass box filling up with water, Thar's a fun time. So he preforms his own tracheotomy, wow, that's impressive.
0:11: And there's the girl, Hoffman saves her and looks like the hero, but he's pissed Strahm is still alive after the tracheotomy trick.
0:15: Ok, why on earth would jigsaws ex-wife just happen to be wearing the key to the random box that he left her, that makes a lot of sense.
0:17 Gotta say, and maybe this is just me, but this Hoffman just looks like a scumbag, I wonder if that was a factor for them casting this guy, but he just looks scummy.
0:19: Something tells me that this power struggle between Hoffman and Strahm isn't going to end well.
0:21: So is the trend of people wearing those stupid bluetooth things in their ears all the time over, I don't seem to notice it as much, probably has a lot to do with the iPhone, people just have the earbuds in instead.
0:23: Ok, now I'm starting to remember this one, it's alot like II, a bunch of people all captured and put through a series games, which seems cool, but really it just makes it tough to follow and get to know the characters or care. Strange seeing Julie Benz as a Brunette. Also nice to see Chloe's husband Morris from 24 in here
0:28: Well, there's 1 dead, guess it didn't matter why she was a fire inspector or why Morris knew what she did now.
0:30: Now we get some of Hoffman's background, his sister was killed by her boyfriend, which apparently was the guy at the beginning that got cut in half despite winning the game. death was credited to jigsaw since it was before he was dead, but it was Hoffman, and now Strahm knows, there is a showdown coming, I can feel it.
0:36: Doesn't really seem to make sense that these games are designed so that one person has to die, doesn't really seem fair. Jigsaw always atleast gave people a choice, but guess he isn't running the show anymore. And number 2 is dead. so long Morris.
0:40 Flashback time, and we find out how Hoffman and jigsaw met. and the game that Hoffman played to earn jigsaws respect.
0:45: Tempered steel, good advice.
0:47: So, I guess this really wasn't much of a game, there's was never any real danger for Hoffman, gun wasn't loaded, so this was just a recruiting meeting, unlike with Amanda. Or maybe not, the gun was loaded? I'm confused.
0:52: Pretty sure that 2 people could have fit into one of those chambers, I'm not sure that someone had to die there, but clearly noone was willing to share, bad people I guess.
0:55: Another flashback, this time to the fat guy who got killed in the barbwire in the first one, not really sure that was necessary, didn't really care too much about him, but I guess it was jigsaw and Hoffman's first game together. Oh, and by the way, they are doing that thing with the person being in the scene but not really in the scene thing again, annoying.
0:58: So, it appears that Hoffman was helping jigsaw out all along, didn't really seem that way when they were flashing back to Amanda helping out jigsaw in the other films, but I guess they wanted it to be a surprise, or else they hadn't planned that far ahead.
1:06: More flashbacks, but this flashback is setting up the game for this one, and helping Strahm figure out what was happening in III and IV, see, wouldn't this have worked better as a TV show at this point?
1:11: Hoffman is setting it up to make it look like Strahm is the one behind these people getting killed in the games, seems like a pretty scummy thing to do, not sure how it in anyway in connection to what jigsaw would have done.
1:13: And now they figure out that they needed everyone to win all the games, so they should have worked together and noone needed to die, even mentioning the thing I said about the chambers being big enough for more than 1 person.
1:17: Now we find out how all these people in the game are connected, they all set in motion something that killed and covered up the deaths of 8 people, so much like all the other movies, they are in some way, shape or form terrible people who probably deserve to die.
1:21: Yeah, severely cutting your hand to fill up a jar with blood, that would really suck
1:22: Ok, so clearly that recording was not jigsaw and was actually Hoffman, i mean I know it's supposed to be distorted and all, and Strahm probably hadn't heard enough of the other recordings to really notice the difference in the voices, but clearly not jigsaw. The Message was pretty clear though, get in the glass box was the only way to get out alive, despite enduring some pain.
1:27: So, there wasn't really too much of a twist in this one, I mean Hoffamn setting up Strahm, then the box lowering out of the room and the room crushing him, not really a big twist, tape recorder said he needed to be in the box, he should have been in the box.
Ok, so that one was pretty bad, not really clear if Julie Benz or the other guy end up dying or what, but in the grand scheme of things, doesn't really matter, they were somewhat inconsequential to the real story line. Strahm who was the closest to figuring everything out is now dead. Hoffman is still in control and running things for Jigsaw, maybe not exactly the way he would have done it, but still. I would say that out of all of them so far, this is probably the worst, and I don't think VI gets much better, but I will press on, check back later for SAW VI: Porky's Revenge with an Electric Boogaloo.
0:00: Lionsgate, twisted sister, blah blah whatever.I don't really remember a ton about this one, pretty sure this the one where it really starts to drop off.

SAW IV
Ok, we are back and here we go: Saw IV released on October 26th, 2007, starring Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Scott Patterson, Donnie Wahlberg and a bunch of people I've never heard of. Directed once again by Darren Lynn Bousman. Movie grossed 63m domestic, 139m worldwide, so a bit down from the previous 2, and this is where things started to go downhill.
0:00: Lionsgate and twisted pictures still doing there thing. Now from what I remember about this film, I thought it was ok, but then I really liked the twist at the end or atleast the concept of the twist. We start of with jigsaws dead body laid out on the autopsy table, so he's actually dead now, right? He looks dead, so off the a bad start if he is actually dead.
0:04: Said it before and I'll say it again, nothing like a little brain surgery to spice up a horror film.
0:05: Ooh a audio recorder tape in his stomach, even dead this Jigsaw is a crafty fellow. Hoffman is the one that gets called in, how convenient.
0:07: Nice little trap here, one gut with his mouth sewn shut, one guys with his eyes sewn shut, looking kinda like that dude in the Man in a Box video.
0:09: Ok, so after the dude with his mouth sewn shut kills the other dude, he rips open his mouth, why the hell didn't he just do that to being with if he was gonna do it at all? And once again random killings at the beginning that don't seem to have anything to do with anything.
0:11: So remember the chick cop that go killed early on in 3, police are just finding her now, interesting.
0:14: Uh Oh, the new guy is onto something, clearly wasn't Jigsaw and couldn't be Amanda, so then who killed her?
0:18: Ok, so now that jigsaw is dead?, in order to keep him the film, they are gonna give him a lot of his back story, his ex-wife, what he used to do, lots of flashbacks coming our way in this one.
0:20: Hoffman and Rigg both getting attacked, but by who, creepy doll is back, sounds like jigsaw, what is happening? and Donnie Wahlberg is still alive, but is standing on a block of ice which is connected to Hoffman's life, or is it?
0:24: They decided to do a similar thing in this movie that they did in the last movie, which is have random people hooked up to the traps and increase the kills, but no really have it people that you totally have to know or care about, which works well.
0:27: Pretty messed up, guy saves the chick but she was a criminal, so she was told that she had to kill him, messed up games being played in this one.
0:30: Now we get to see what happened to Donnie, after what happened to him in 3 which was really right after 2, but then there was some kinda of time that went by cause he has a beard now.
0:32: The new guy Strahm seems to know way too much about all this stuff and figured it out pretty fast, that seems suspicious, no?
0:34: It would be pretty funny if while all hung up in the trap Donnie Wahlberg just broke out some Hangin' Tough, and it would be appropriate.
0:36: Whoa, Rigg gets the pig mask, thought that was Amanda's but she's dead now, so I guess it doesn't matter, or is she?
0:38: More flashbacks, seems like jigsaw was a nice guy trying to do the right thing before the world crushed him, but was it just the cancer or was there more too it, looks like we are gonna find out, At this point of the series, it just seems like this could have worked better almost as a TV show rather than a series of movies, way to much back story and information that seems to be thrown at us to have to wait a whole year to find out more.
0:40: That creepy doll, apparently he made it for his unborn child it seems? what the hell kind of kid would want something that looks like that?
0:44: Pretty messed up fat dude, raped and killed women who stayed at his motel or whatever the hell it's supposed to be, guy deserves to die, wouldn't have any qualms about hooking that guy up to that device if I was Rigg.
0:49: So, now we know why jigsaw was born, a drug addict caused his wife to have a miscarriage breaking into the client that she ran and stealing drugs, it all makes sense now.
0:51: A lawyer named Art Blank, uh, sure he doesn't own the Falcons, which btw, why the hell does Bon Jovi want to have ownership in the Falcons now, what connection does he have at all to Atlanta? Stay in your own area Bon Jovi.
0:54: Ok, so the guy that is running the game for Donnie and Hoffman is a lawyer, Art Blank perhaps?, and also noticed one of the things that they started doing in the movie that I actually found kinda annoying, they would have scenes lead into each other, so like there is one scene and then a dude that is in the next scene would like walk into the scene and it would be the next scene, kinda weird. Can't really remember if they did it in other movies or not, but I feel like they did.
watch lists, you know just incase one of them loses their minds and start actually making this kinda of stuff up in real life?
1:00: Donnie is losing it.
1:02: For whatever reason in horror films or whatever, there's always that random person that's just minding their own business and then somehow gets killed by some random thing.
1:04: Stupid idiot, that's what you get for getting too close to that creepy doll, thing is messed up, it was only a matter of time until it actually killed someone.
1:08: More flashbacks, we find out Art Blanks history with jigsaw, and more with that doll.
1:11: So, jigsaw's first victim was the man who killed his unborn son, can't fault him for that, can you? and there were pig masks involved.
1:13: "I can't give you time, noone can, time is an illusion." good quote
1:15: As his first trap, this blades to the face to release the restraints was pretty good, not nearly as elaborate as his later ones of course, guy got out of it after all, but then got himself stuck in another. Meanwhile was that just a flashback within a flashback, this is like Inception all of a sudden.
1:20: Wait a second why was there an empty box that didn't have a card in it, what is going on here?
1:22: Ok, so they did a nice job of connecting the guy at the beginning with his mouth sewn shot, it was Art Blank, but what would have happened if the other guy came out?
1:23: Wait a minute, way are they showing the ending of Saw III all of a sudden?
1:24: You know when they always say in horror movies, don't go in that door, well Rigg should have listened to that, shouldn't have opened that door, now Donnie is dead.
1:26: Ok, so Strahm just walked into the end of Saw III, and killed that guy. which brings up the issue, this was all happening at the same time.
1:27: Uh on, looks like Hoffman was working with jigsaw the whole time. The new Amanda.
1:29: So the ending was the beginning, and the beginning was the ending. Which leads to the more important question, was this even really a sequel? I mean, it wasn't after III, except the part at the autopsy, it was happening at the same time, so what would you call that a Sidequel, a samequel? With all the flashbacks I guess you could kinda say it was kinda a prequel somewhat, but not really.
Ok, so not sure where I would rank this one, probably better than II, the twist was better than in III, but not sure it was better then III, certainly nowhere near the first one,. But there it is, SAW IV, now moving on to SAW V, this is where it gets real tough I think.
0:00: Lionsgate and twisted pictures still doing there thing. Now from what I remember about this film, I thought it was ok, but then I really liked the twist at the end or atleast the concept of the twist. We start of with jigsaws dead body laid out on the autopsy table, so he's actually dead now, right? He looks dead, so off the a bad start if he is actually dead.

Yo, Ding Dong Man, Ding Dong, Ding Dong Yo
Been a few days since I've had a post, so here we go with some awesomeness. Bruins game the other night against Montreal was out of control, the Stars game was good last week, but goalie fights, brawls, 14 goals, PK Subban and Nathan Horton basically having a stick fight, sorta. Too bad I wasn't as the game, but I will be there next time Montreal is in town.
I was also not at the Celtics game last night against the Lakers, and while the game ended up being kinda crappy, Ray Allen setting the record for most 3 pointers was pretty exciting. Unfortunately after that moment Celtics seemed to lose focus, plus with all the injuries and foul trouble, it was just a bad game.
So, someone had Ring Dings at work the other day, which lead to a discussion about Drake's vs Hostess and after doing some research turns out that they are both owned by the same company, what's the deal with that? So Ring Dings and Ding Dongs are not only pretty much the same thing, but now they are the same thing?
Been sick most of the week, that's been fun. Might just take it easy this weekend, which could mean the return of Sawathon, not making any promises, but check back tomorrow and see.
Ok, well, I guess that's all I have for today, but as always, want to leave you with a little treat, and with all this talk about Ding Dongs, really only one thing to give you:
What it is with you? BTW, pretty sure that Ding Dong guy is Big Baby, could be wrong, since he was 2 when this came out, but still.

Random Stuff
So, was Doc from the 7 dwarfs an actual Doctor, cause if he was then he wasn't very good, I mean Sneezy couldn't stop sneezing, right? If he was a good Doctor, probably would have helped him out, right? and what about sleepy, clearly some issues there he could have helped him out with. I am asking this for a reason, I can't stop sneezing, so pretty random, but not totally.
So, Aaron Rodgers was at it again last night on Letterman, he got a WWE Title belt, now it's getting a little out of control, 1 belt is one thing, but 2? You've only won one title Aaron, and not sure The Miz is cool with you running around with his belt. Be interesting if Aaron shows up at the smackdown tapings tonight, kinda doubt it, but some Packers are supposed to be there.
Anyone remember Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy on SNL, those were pretty good.
Can't believe Clinton Portis wrote True Grit, that's pretty bizarre.
What the hell happened last night to the Celtics? I realize they were missing a bunch of people, but losing to the Bobcats after Stephen Jackson got thrown out of the game is stupid. They better step it up for Thursday with the Lakers coming to town, then Miami on Sunday. Lots of big games coming up at the Garden, Bruins got Canadiens tomorrow, Celtics got Lakers on Thursday, Bruins got Red Wings on Friday, then Celtics vs Heat on Sunday. I am not going to any of them, but I will be at the Garden on Monday for the Beanpot Finals, good a way as any to celebrate valentine's day I guess.
This Taco Bell commercial is damn annoying, 4 times the Steak? more like 4 times the Fake, am I right?
Got a view from Iran today, not really sure how I should feel about that, I mean, Denmark was 1 thing, but Iran, maybe it was the Iron Sheik, cause that would be pretty cool
Ok, that's all I got for now, but as always, a little treat for all you folks out there, when I was little this was one of my favorite videos, but before you watch, you got to answer one questions: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOU LIFE?
I was definitely too young to get the Animal House references, but regardless, still loved it.

No Chance!, No Chance in Hell!!!
Ok, got some more insight on some of the stuff that went down yesterday at the Super Bowl. First of all, was paying too close attention to the timing of the National Anthem, totally missed the fact that Christina Aquilera completely screwed up the National Anthem, or did she? Maybe she's just a huge Twilight fan and had a deal with them to start some sort of guerrilla marketing, you know that clip is gonna be played a million times all over the place, just saying.
Clay Matthews draping the World Title Belt over Aaron Rodgers was alright, ideally Drew Brees should have had to come out and give it too him, but whatever. Interesting to note that the REAL world champion: Edge, will be in Green Bay on Tuesday for the Smackdown tapings, not saying Aaron Rodgers will show up with his belt, but you don't just go around wearing someone elses belt. I will say this though, and this is where wresting, boxing and MMA have it right, championship belts are so much cooler then any trophy will ever be, with the one exception of the Stanley Cup, that clearly wins the award for best thing to win. Now I guess belts really only work in kinda a individual sport, tag team wrestling aside, hence trophies for team sports, but still championship belts are cool. Now, Aaron Rodgers is not the first major sports star to break out the championship belt after winning a title, that award would go to Rasheed Wallace:
Pretty sure Rasheed Wallace would beat Aaron Rodgers in a Wrestling match. But again, sure Edge would have something to say about all this:
Guess that's all I got about the Super Bowl, didn't really bet too much, got a few squares, didn't pay off, but oh well.
While I would like Ray Allen to have a good game tonight, don't want him to hit too many 3s tonight, want to see him break the record on Thursday in Boston against the Lakers, that would be amazing, Reggie Miller will probably be there, since it's on TNT, and then he can come out after he hits the 3 and hand Ray over the Championship belt for 3s.
New update to Angry Birds Season, a Valentine's Day level, not a fan of Valentine's Day at all, for many reasons, but I can get behind a new level of Angry Birds, They also added some stuff to the regular Angry Birds game over the weekend, and there was supposed to be some weird thing during the Super Bowl, didn't really see it, but I guess there is a hidden level somewhere, I sure if you google it, you can find it.
Marquis Daniels during yesterday's Celtics game was a little scary, guess he is doing ok, not sure when he'll be back, but looks like we will be seeing some Glen Davis at the 3, that could be interesting.
Last but not least, rumor has it that Vince McMahon will be making his return to RAW tonight, so in honor of that, here's a little treat for all you Vince McMahon fans out there.
Wonder if he'll fired anyone tonight

Just like the prodigal son the blog returns
Packers won the superbowl, not sure I care that much, better then the Steelers, but really don't care too much. I can relate to Charles Woodson, I broke my collarbone playing football once, wasn't in the superbowl but still, pretty much the same thing.
Been a couple days since I have updated this, been a little busy, Thursday night went to the Bruins, which was a hell of a game, but unfortunately missed the first 40 seconds of the game, which normally means nothing, but that night meant 3 fights and 1 goal, but saw the rest and they won so that was big. Friday was a rough day thanks to Thursday night, leave it at that. Saturday went back for the Bruins again, not so good this time, B's got shut out and played pretty crappy. Saturday night was more shenanigans, tomfoolery and ballyhoo, and strangely I was trying to say that at one point, couldn't remember ballyhoo, and then out of nowhere as I was going to bed, Good Will Hunting was on and happened to see the point in the movie where that quote was from, so whatever.
Celtics had a big win today, Ray Allen is pretty close to setting the record for most 3 pointers made in a career, so that's pretty awesome.
Nice to see Wayne and Garth return last night on SNL, I mean, I guess if Beavis and Butt-head and Bill and Ted can return, why not Wayne and Garth, right? Any other duos that should make comebacks, can't really think of anything, I mean those three are pretty big, right?
What the hell was with Fergie and Slash doing Sweet Child O' Mine during halftime, that was horrible, Fergie could not come close to Axl Rose and on his birthday too, way to make his lyrics sound like crap Fergie, go back to talking about your humps and peeing on yourself. Commercials were pretty bad, didn't really like any of them, Only one that was alright was the careerbuilder.com one with the monkeys, but they've already done that.
Guess that is all for tonight, be back soon with more fantasticness, plus the Sawathon will also return soon, I promise. but before I go, there was some talk on Saturday night about Girl Talk, which apparently is a DJ would mixes up songs that don't really go together at all, which I don't particularly care for, I mean, if I want to hear Rage Against the Machine, don't really need some random rap song mixed in with it. Anyway, this brought up the subject of Girl Talk, the board game from the late 80's/early 90's which then brought up the game Mall Madness, there was some confusion about it, so me being the Virtuoso of Useless Information, felt the need to make sure everyone is aware of what I mean. So, while I couldn't actually find the original commercial for the original girl talk game, much to my chagrin, I was able to find this:
Not really sure what to say about this, but it stars Punky Brewster and Sarah Michelle Gellar before anyone knew who she was, I guess it's better then singing into Wine Cooler bottles, or maybe not. I was able to find this however:
So, there you go, was not making it up, while I never played this game or girl talk, I do remember them, so it is what it is.

Yup
Well, looks like I was right about the groundhog day thing, didn't see his shadow, spring is coming early, and then the snow turned into freezing rain, seems like maybe he's right. Now if only the groundhog could find me a place to park my car, that would be awesome. Currently watching Groundhog Day, which is appropriate today, as I was talking about in yesterday's post. Winter predication: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be gray and it'll last you the rest of your life.
Don't you hate when you have an great idea, but either you don't have any reason to use it or it just wouldn't really make sense or be appropriate for the situation, but then in the meantime someone else uses the same idea, not necessarily steals it, but ends up using the same idea, so now if you are ever in the situation to use the idea, it seems like a recycled idea. Man I hate that.
Nice wins by both the celtics and the bruins last night, With the win by the celtics, Doc Rivers locked up being the coach for the East in the all-star game, so that's pretty cool.
Today's treat for no reason: Hall & Oates

I Have Snow Idea for a Title
The Roommate, isn't that just Single White Female or am I crazy?
Tomorrow is Groundhog Day, now, not sure exactly what the weather is supposed to be like in Punxsutawney, PA, but I would imagine given the huge storm that is spread out all over the US, I'm guessing not good. Which brings me to my first point, if the weather is not good, then the sun will not be out, so there won't be any way for Phil, the groundhog Phil, to see his shadow and he won't be scared and won't go back into his hole, which if you believe the legend means no more Winter, anyone else see any flaw in this logic? So, if it's Sunny and 80 degrees out, he'll see his shadow and get scared, and there will be 6 more weeks of Winter, but it's it 20 degrees and snowing, it's spring. Ok, now on to my second point, if you get the movie channel Encore, which I think most people that have digital cable do, they are airing the movie Groundhog Day all day Midnight to Midnight. So if some how you have never seen the movie, there is one person that I know in particular that hasn't, which actually lead me to finding out this info about Encore airing it a la TBS does with A Christmas Story, you have to watch it and you'll love it. If you have seen it and for some reason didn't like it, first of all what is wrong with you, it's a great movie, and second of all, you need to watch it again, so do it. Then of course if you have watched it and like it, I don't have to tell you that you should watch it, it's Groundhog Day after all, when the hell else are you gonna watch it? Plus, alot of people are gonna be snowed in tomorrow and looking for something to watch, so there you go. It's probably, after Ghostbusters my favorite Bill Murray movie. It also stars Chris Elliott, and if you haven't seen Cabin Boy, well you are probably better off, but Chris Elliott does have a new show premiering this Thursday night at midnight on Adult Swim, a show being produced by Conan O'Brien's production company, I would guess this is the first show under his new deal with Turner that he signed which in addition to his talk show, they would air show's he produced. No idea what the show is about, but it's got Chris Elliott in it and is produced by Conan's company, so worth a look. Last note on this, everyone is aware the Abby Elliott from Saturday Night Live is Chris Elliott's daughter, right? So, this just makes my assumption that Donald Glover was Danny Glover's son a little less weird, right?
Ok, so logging on to Twitter last night, I noticed I had a new follower, which you can do by following @razorvader by the way, so upon checking to see who it is, I see the name David Hasselhoff, at first I was confused, thinking why would someone make up a fake twitter account for David Hasselhoff and then follow me, first thinking maybe it was someone playing a joke, Jonathan Taylor Thomas on facebook came to mind, but upon looking at it closer, it has a blue check mark meaning it's legit. Now whether or not it's actually him in charge of it is another story, but regardless, not sure what I ever wrote that would have prompted him to follow me, but hey apparently The Hoff is a fan, and maybe he's reading this blog, so welcome, I enjoyed the Knight Rider theme, and Baywatch was um well, fun to watch at times.
Just want to apologize to everyone reading this for my lack of proof reading, I'm no English major, I'm usually typing this up pretty fast and don't often pay that close attention to what I'm actually typing unless I spell something wrong, so sorry.
So, pretty sure it might be time to start looking for a new job, I'm thinking something that involves me never having to drive in the snow or dealing with the winter at all, not sure what that would be unless I move somewhere warm, which I don't really want to do, just don't really want to deal with winter weather and commutes. Ice Cream Truck driver would be cool I guess, then just hibernate in the winter, I should probably look into this more.
Want to note that I went over 200 page views today, so thank you all for checking this blog out and coming back for more, be sure to pass along the word to anyone else that you think might enjoy it. And apparently I'm international, got 3 views from Canada, ah! Welcome, I enjoy Canada. Also got a view from the United Kingdom, so, that could be like any of 7 countries, still have never really figured that whole thing out. Lastly just got a hit from Denmark, so apparently something IS rotten in the state of Denmark, and I guess it's me, awesome.
Was just watching Shinedown in concert of Palladia while typing this up, I enjoy them, one of the few new bands I actually do enjoy, so for no reason other than I got nothing else, here's some Shinedown:
Then again if you like that song call "If You Only Knew" you're gonna love this song called :"If You Only Knew"
Now I know what you are thinking, "Wait a minute? Is that Jimmy Hart? wasn't he a singer in a pop group at some point?" Well you're right (pretty sure he's on the right)
