Is anyone else looking forward to seeing the movie Transporter 2? I am, I liked the first one and I’m expecting to like this one. Sure, they say it was a crappy movie, and this one is sure to follow. But it looks really good. Plus I like Jason Statham, he rocked in Snatch and had a great role as Handsome Rob (Which of course was named after me for obvious reasons) in The Italian Job.

Do you remember Aeon Flux from the somewhat good’ol days of Mtv? Remember those days? Head bangers Ball, music on music television, ah back in the day. Well something great was around then, a cartoon show that had short cartoons. I can’t remember what the show was called but Bevis and Butthead first appeared on it.

Well anyway, Aeon Flux was on the same show. Each episode was about 10 minutes long, it was about a spy who would defend the innocent against a great corporation, who was really controlling everyones life. One of the great things about the series was that the main character dies at the end of every show. Usually very brutally at that. Charlize Theron plays the main character and from the trailer it looks damn good.

Doom, is this going to suck or what! I don’t ever remember having a team of people right behind me. I’m sure it will be intertaining, but im not going hold my breath. I know The Rock will play a good role. He seems to do a good acting job in the wrestling ring (yes it was all fake and planned. Sorry to burst your bubble). Plus, he did a good job as the Scorpion King, HA! I would rather see a movie about Quake, which was made by the same folks that made the game Doom. That game would scare the shit out of you some times.

Lots of good movies coming out this fall. To bad I still have to see all the summer movies. Looks like I’ll have a long blockbuster “Q” for awhile.

My heart goes out to the folks that live in the upper part of the Gulf of Mexico. New Orleans and the rest of them got hit with a huge hurricane and is probably now under a massive amount of water. It’s sad to think of how much damage New Orleans will take from this. It’s practically a bowl on the surface of the ocean, and a 25 foot wave would fill the bowl. Just think of all the dead bodies that are already above ground will now be floating around. Yikes! Thank goodness there is no true “T” Virus. We could have a true zombie movie then.

One thing that is going to piss me off is the hole oil fiasco. They love to have a reason to raise the oil prices. A hurricane, a bad snow storm, someone that farts in arizona and makes someone’s eyes water. It just sucks. The president has said he is going to open up his reserves to ease the price of gas. I really don’t think this is going to save anything. Any reason Exxon can find to raise the price they will. And that means that Rob (yes I speak in third person) will have to pay more for his 30 minute drive to work.

I love zombie movies. There is something truly scary about the un-dead coming to suck our brains out that fascinates me. I remember seeing the first Dawn of the Dead back in the 80′s that scared the bejebus out of me. Thats when it all started for me.

Now while I do give kudos to the old versions of the living dead movies I’m going to list my favorite modern day movies that do the living dead theme.

1. Night of the Living dead (The 1990 remake of the classic that is shot by shot on the ball to the original)

2. 28 days later (virus that turns the living to walking dead like things)

3. Dawn of the Dead (a great remake of the classic. If you haven’t seen either one you should)

4. Resident Evil (A movie adaptation of a game by the same name)

5. Resident Evil – Apocalypse (The second chapter of the game, I hope they do the third and keep going)

6. Shawn of the Dead (Dark Comedy of the tale of dead coming to life)

I listed these in almost order of my liking. Night of the Living Dead will forever be the be all tell all un-dead movie. Its a must see. 28 days later did a great job on doing the un-dead but lacked in the dead part. They go on and tell you that they aren’t dead but just taken over by animalistic drive for blood. Dawn of the Dead is exactly what it sound like. Wake up and folks are walking around dead and hungry for brains. It tends to get slow at parts but well worth the watch. The Resident Evil entries are great. They follow the game made for playstation and do a damn good job at it. If you never played the game you may find the movies a bit hard to understand. Shawn of the Dead is new movie that tells the same tale. Guy needs to save his girl and mom and there’s some comedy in between the scary parts.

I know there are great classic movies out their but after so many times seeing them they get repetitive. If you haven’t seen any of these movies listed above you must be from a different planet or your just chicken to see great horror movies.

So I’m watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show and remembering when we would go out at midnight to watch this masterpiece. Talk about the good’ol days. My friend Justin and I would meet up at about 11 at night, pick up the regulars that went with us and looked for “virgins” who had yet to see it. Then drove to downtown Cincinnati to watch this move in an old run down theater and chant the lines at the screen while folks that really loved the movie played out the parts in front of everyone in the place. And lets not forget the best damn dance ever, the time-warp.

I still remember the last night it played at the Skywalk Theater in Cincinnati. I think I still have the T from Pic_ureshow I stole from the sign. The place was packed and it was a miracle we got in. The line went from the door to the stairs to the street. There was something about it then that made this movie something to behold. It was funny and erotic at the same time. the people, the acts, the smell of day old popcorn. It’s really to bad that it all had to end. I don’t even know if it still plays in town. I would hope so. It was such good times.

Susan Serandon played such a great part. I don’t think she has ever played such a great slut since this movie. Barry Boswick went on to play the mayor in Spin City and did a great job at that. Oh and Meatloaf. Was he not the best meal you ever seen? I think the best part of the movie was Eddie made his entrance from the freezer. The guy that played Rocky (The Creation), Peter Hinwood, was a model and has since retired from show business and is now doing antique sales. Talk about a mental mind fuck. This was it.

What do you do when you have a “dream” for a university? Well if your Nancy Zimpher, you fire everyone you feel threatened by. What do you do when you feel that your students are not receiving the best possible education from your university? You fire the most winningist Basketball coach in the universities history. Just like Nancy Zimpher is doing today.

If you don’t know who either Bob Huggins is or Nancy Zimpher don’t worry. It’s not that big of a deal that you don’t. But, if you live in the Cincinnati area then you live under a rock. Bob Huggins is the head coach to the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. He was hired in 89 and has won more games than any of the other coaches that he replaced. So when he found out this week that he needs to make a decision on which he wants to do, either be fired or resign by 2 o’clock today it was a surprise. It shocked the hell out of everyone in the area. Especially him, when he found out by a reporter while at a convention in Vegas.

Back earlier this year he made a bad mistake about driving after getting drunk and was caught by the fuzz. After the news of that came out the Ms. Zimpher told him that this kind of actions was not acceptable. She said that she would not renew his contract and that in the 2 years that remained would be his last.

But all is not bad. In the whole situation he will come out a bit ahead. If he accepts that he will be fired he will receive 3 million dollars for UC breaking his contract. But along with it, he will receive a bad mark on his record. If he leave on his own he will receive 2 million and maintain his almost sparkling record. What’s a dude to do? I would take the 3 my self. But then again I don’t have a house that runs that amount in just taxes and running costs.

Regardless of what he does he will be missed. His face was UC, when you said the Bearcats that is the face you thought of. He recruited some of the best players in the game and helped them move on to be great members to society. But non of this matters when your Nancy Zimpher. Only that your name is on the sigh instead of the schools. She changed the score board from The University of Cincinnati welcomes you. To, President Nancy Zimpher and the University of Cincinnati Welcomes You. How swell is that.
