You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ A movie where Abe Lincoln is a vampire killer. That’s as wrong as a naked Rosie O’Donnel hugging you after running a marathon. Vampire killing presidents? Has Hollywood just given up? Who writes a movie about Abe Lincoln fighting vampires? A drunken scribe with a propensity […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Prometheus! The movie – not the mythological God. In ancient Greece, Prometheus is known as the protector and benefactor of man. He gave mankind a number of gifts including fire. This movie is not a gift and perhaps the script should have been burned. Like ancient […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. How damn good Lebron James is. I’m watching game six of the Eastern Conference Championship against the Celtics in Boston.  The boys in green are up 3 games to 2. They win they advance to the finals.  The Miami Heat must win to force a game 7. […]

No Luck Zuck

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Facebook. The IPO. The investigation. The marriage. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has all ready lost more than 2 billion dollars. That’s a tough week. I get bummed if I lose 20 bucks. Can you imagine losing 2 Billion dollars? The founder of Facebook went public on […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Pink Floyd The Wall. Do you remember where you were the first time you played this LP and let the brilliance wash over you. I was in Kerkoff Hall at USC. It was circa 1981 and L.A. was a hot bed of musical influences. The Boss was filling […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ The NFL draft. Andrew Luck at 1. RG3 at 2. And on and on and on. You probably can’t name half the guys in the first round. I’m almost certain you can’t name any of the guys in rounds 2-7. I am excited that my Dallas […]

Van Halen

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Van Halen! Not the “Van Hagar” Van Halen. I’m talking Van Halen Van Halen, with David Lee Roth up front with Eddie V shredding. This is the original recipe for a band that has been through a lot of different looks since they broke onto the scene […]

Axl Rose

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Axl Rose. This skinny, scratchy voiced, 1980’s rocker said no to the hall of fame. Who do you think you are? Alec Baldwin in 1st class, playing words with friends? Axl Rose is a heroin chic, son of a bitch, with no ass, and hair the consistency […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ I’m watching the AMC network. For the first time in my life I am about to watch Mad Men. Mad Men has been on for several seasons and is a 4 time Emmy winner for best drama. There’s no doubt the show is a huge hit, […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ How I felt leaving the movie theater after watching Act of Valor. I’m not sure what to expect. Word on the street is: good movie. Great action. Lousy acting. The movie is about Navy Seals preserving freedom around the globe. The film showcases the Seals incredible training, expertise and […]
