‘That’s how it starts. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men…cruel.’ I lost 20 pounds this Ramadan. It’s the most weight I’ve ever dropped while fasting; I’m trying to finish ‘optimizing’ my diet so I can stay in ‘middleweight champion’ shape year round. Cutting myself away from most of my […]
(sipping tea…) My gut tells me if Bale was in this trailer, I’d be all over this. My gut also tells me that it was the right decision by all parties to move in a new version of the Dark Knight. I’m very biased since this week since I’ve started rebuilding my own body, but […]
George Miller (again!) to the action film genre and its audience: Just my two cents, but ‘Fury Road’ is the best kick in the ass to the genre since the first ‘Bourne’ film (i.e., ‘the rest of you have gotten lazy and keep falling on the same cliches, this is how you keep the audience […]
Alright, now that our time with Dick Whitman has ended let’s update the list. As always, just one man’s opinion: 1. The Wire – And still the Champion of the World!!!!! Time has made Season 4 (the kids) even more impressive and Season 5 (tying up character arcs, but…the newspaper?) more of an albatross. As […]

So… I had a well thought out, perfect analysis of the Batman vs. Superman trailer. Then one of the homies sent me this less than an hour ago, and I knew I had to tap out. I can’t top this… Enjoy!
I don’t assume anymore when I fall asleep that God is going to wake me up. That single train of thought is why I’ve shifted to making a more conscious effort into leaving all of my interactions with positive karma (or at worst, if I’m indifferent about you, I’ll just leave you to live your […]
For me personally, the greatest benefit to being old (so far) is the end of overthinking. There’s a big difference between a) analyzing all the options and taking action and b) being paralyzed by all the possibilities and letting ‘the Moment’ pass you by. So, for whatever name you give to it, the process of […]
Here are the nominees for Best Actress: Marion Cotillard – Two Days, One Night Felicity Jones – The Theory of Everything Julianne Moore – Still Alice Rosamund Pike – Gone Girl Reese Witherspoon – Wild Who Should Win: While I normally feel meh about ‘career achievement’ awards, Julianne Moore is a respectable choice, with no shame […]
‘You confuse love with admiration.’ Can I stop right there? Please? Alright, I’ll write a full review… No surprise why so many actors/artists/Hollywood types love this one. The original Dark Knight, Michael Keaton, stars as a past his prime movie star who tries to return to relevancy by staging a Broadway play. The rest of […]
