And The Oscar Goes to…

Every once and a while a sweet fighting movie comes along: “Enter the Dragon”, “Blood Sport”, and “Fight Club”. Lately, I have been hungering for a movie to give me sweet hand to hand combat and action sequences that make me wanna kill a man. Well, thanks to Channing Tatum’s “Fighting” I finally want to kill a man again. Unfortunately, that man is me.

Before I get into the main reason I hate this film let me first label this movie correctly: The Crappy LionHeart. Lionheart starred JVCD and was a classic tale of man beating ass for money, managers trying to make money off of emotionally fueled fists, and overcoming Goliaths as a soft-spoken David.

Tatum tried following Van Dam’s foot steps by giving an oscar worthy acting performance, but he lacked in the pointless splits performance. If you don’t do the splits at some point in the movie the audience can’t take you serious as a fighter.

Fighter Split List

  • Van Dam – Splits (every film ever)
  • Sylvester Stallone – Splits (somewhere in Rocky III I’m sure)
  • Hulk Hogan – Splits (Suburban Commando & Mr. Nanny)

Peaked too Early

The meat of the reason this movie is horrible comes from one line in the trailer. Tatum says, “I’ve been nothing my whole life. I’m not going back to that.”

Really? You are like mid 20’s. Nothing your whole life, huh? Well, you are still young. Take some classes. Learn a skill useful in society. Not until after high school can you really even start to make something of yourself. Plus, what a horrible standpoint? If people do not know who you are then you are worthless?

The message of the film appears to be fighting is ok, but only if you are doing it for the right reasons… Like not being a nobody.

To be fair to Tatum, this role is just a leapfrog role that gets him to his next film “GI Joe: Rise of Cobra”. He plays Duke, and if he wants to be a bad-ass action start/fighter…he better do the splits.

I can’t believe I am writing this, but I actually kind of respect Donald Trump. I know reading that statement you may have now lost respect for me, but read me out.

Last week, on Celebrity Apprentice, Trump had to decide between two women based on their performance in the week’s tasks. This alone is rare because if you have ever seen an episode of The Apprentice you know he usually doesn’t fire his favorite person. He latches on to one biased impression (looks, first statement, or what his old-man advisor or somehow relevant daughter says) and picks based on that.

Trump was going to pick based on performance but then he asked Chloe, from “The Kardashians” why she missed a couple of days. She told the Don she had to make a court appearance for a DUI she received some time ago. Immediately Trump had decided.The Donald fired Chloe because of the drunk driving and told her it was one of the worst things a person could do.

Some of the contestants had a problem with that desission, but Trump stood firm and said he wouldn’t tolerate that.

Lead By Example

With the recent tragic death of Nick Adenhart (Angele’s pitcher) and passengers, and Donte Stallworth’s unfortunate car killing, both caused by alcoholics driving, it is nice to see someone take a stance. Trump has basically sent the message that just because you haven’t hurt anyone by driving drunk, doesn’t mean that you could not have. This lack of critically thinking, or thinking of others, lead to Chloe getting fired.

Often times DUIs can lead to slaps on the wrists, especially for celebrities (even ones that are famous for having a sister in a leaked sex tape…basically famous by association). Losing your job can really hit home. Granted in this case Chloe was fired and given $20,000 to her charity of choice…but still.

There are consequences: your job.

Donald Trump…good call. Now don’t let this kudos go to your carpeted head.

After some Mexican food and a few margaritas (blended for Bagira), Bagira and Gazzuolo decided they needed to go out and do something crazy. They were feeling it: the urge to leave a trademark of destruction and let the town know that yes, a kitty and a man, will and can, own this lan…d.

Anyway, the idea was simple. Get buckets of white paint and secretly paint every car, house, and stop sign in town! Unfortunately, that amount of paint was hard to come by at 2 in the morning. Also, let’s face it… Bagira and Gazzuolo are broke. One lays around all day and the other is a cat!

White Out!

They desided they were going to stick to the theme of white because they already named this blog “Painting the Town White”. That left one option: toilet paper the hell out of the town! They grabbed all of their supply (about 5 rolls) and were about to head out when it hit.

Meooooooowzerrrz! Bagira ate the worm when he killed a bottle of cheap Tequila and that turned him strait retarded. He couldn’t even walk.

“You f****** pussy”, Gazzuolo yelled.

Bagira had been down and just about out. He rolled under the table and in kitty talk muttered. “Just leave me man. Go on with your white paper town makers and…Okay now I, now I… I have 2 fingers. Is this real life?

One drunken kitty and an unpainted town. Nothing is safe from “The Adventures of Bagira and Gazzuolo.”
