Little Thoughts

Jon Bovi dying on a prayer

•  Today the trailer for Horrible Bosses debuted and it looks like it has the potential to be the funniest movie this year. The ensemble (STACKED) cast includes Jason Bateman, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, surprisingly hilarious Colin Farrell and my personal favourite Jason Sudeikis of SNL fame. Much like Kristen Wiig’s Braidsmaids, I look forward to new audiences being introduced to the witty and charming (man crush alert) Sudeikis who, while not as insanely funny as his SNL contemporaries, has this sort of charisma that is very likeable. Out of the current batch of SNLers, I predict the biggest level of stardom will be attained by the former member of Jon Bovi. Also in this movie, Jennifer Aniston who looks to redeem herself from the Sandler film Just Go with it. That’s a pretty big hole to dig yourself out of, but Rachel does have her moments and hopefully she can add something to this all-star cast.

• NO I haven’t seen THOR or Fast Five, nor do I plan on it. I don’t know much about the Thor comic books, I’m unfamiliar with the actor who plays the title character and I’ve soured on Natalie Portman since watching  the almost unwatchable No Strings Attached. I dont think they'll miss my $8 though as THOR already passed the $300million mark after less than a week. Also, Action movies aren’t really my thing. Which brings us to Fast Five which has sort of been 2011’s version of The Expendables in that it’s aware that it’s a mindless action movie full of explosions and car crashes and embraces that fact, not trying to be anything more. Good for you guys! Still not interested.
• I AM however interested in seeing my beloved Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph kill it in Bridesmaids, which opens today and is currently sitting at an impressive 91% at rotton tomatoes. Cant wait to see it. Hopefully it does well at the box office, but I doubt it. R- rated female-centric comedies dont really have that broad of a demographic, especially considering the stars arent very well known to the paying majority out there. Oh well, quality over quantity I guess.
• Brock Lesnar is apparently sick again and out of his UFC 131 bout with Junior Dos Santos who will now face the equally as monstrous Shane Carwin. I like Brock and hope he’s okay but man oh man this is a WAY BETTER fight. Carwin poses the same problems that Brock did for JDS but he can stand and bang with him as well. The winner of this fight faces Cain later this year and again Carwin vs Velasquez is the real money fight of the UFC heavyweight division and if JDS can get by Carwin (I strongly doubt it) he’ll certainly be qualified to dethrone Cain….So I’m excited for either potential match-up. It boggles my mind however that JDS opened up as the nearly 3-1 favourite over Carwin. That's way off.
  
• In “Almost But No” blog news, I’ve been extremely preoccupied with getting my school business sorted out while working and getting to the gym more so the blog has kind of devolved into me just posting my favourite music videos.  Sorry to those (both) of you who actually care to read what I have to say, but I’ll try to actually blog more of my thoughts going forward although… 
• I Fucking Love summer. I plan on enjoying it this year for once.
