Merry Christmas

SO this Is Christmas?  What Have you done?  Don’t you Hate Christmas.?  I usually Do.  Until I Hear Burl Ives.  Or Sam, What you never heard of a talking Snowman before?  I don’t know what it is.  Maybe it’s the Timelessness of the Tale.  But Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer. Is my all time Favourite Christmas Special.  A few Years ago I was Living with a Family. The kids asked Did you watch this When you were a Kid…I replied “ My mom watched this when she was a kid.”   Yukon Cornelious, the Bumble, Clarice, Fireball, the Isle of Misfit Toys,  A rather  rude skinny Santa, Hermie, and Of Course Rudolph.  
   
    Rudolph first appeared in a 1939 booklet written by Robert L. May and published by Montgomery ward.  Roberts Brother-In-Law Johnny Marks, Decided to turn the tale into a Song.  But were not here to talk about that. We’re here to talk about Rudolph.  I don’t know if it’s the Stop motion, or the Cheesy-ness of the Dialogue… But Boy oh boy.  there is Loads of heart in this one. Brings a Tear to my eye every year.  Fills Me with joy and all that Crap.  I don’t really Know what the Christmas Spirit is Or what it is Supposed to be.  But I know Rudolph has Tons Of it.  If you haven’t seen it. Your Probably Pinko Scum. LOL  But If you haven’t seen it this year.  Seek out Youtube, and Seek out Rudolph.

Well Its time For Number 4 on my top 5 favourite movies of all time.  I was Wondering A lot about this one.  I’ve noticed that my favourite movies I saw all around the same time, in my Life.   My teenage years.  So I was wondering  if they can ever be replaced or if these are my faves forever.  I almost Substituted rent in here but I realized although I do Like Rent. It just Doesn’t Compare to The Princess Bride.   When Princess Bride Originally opened in theatres, it was For all intense and Purposes, A Flop.  But It has Actually Grown In Popularity since its home video release.  It was After Andre The Giants death reading about   his accomplishments, when I heard about this movie.   So yes the only reason I watched it was Due to Andre.  But I’m Glad I did.  Although I feel that Andre steals Every scene he’s in(How can you not when your 7’5)  but its actually his Personality not his stature.  As far as Fairy tales go, this one doesn’t try to be anything but.  Names Like Humperdinck, and Princess Buttercup, attribute to that.   Its Just a wonderful Fantastical joyride.  From  Cary Elwes’ Almost  Lethargic way of delivering his lines,  Just so matter of factly.  Take when he’s Surrounded By all the kings men . They Demand Surrender!  Westly Replies Okay I accept your Surrender.  Not that it isn’t well Acted.   Also I cant  do a review of this movie without mentioning Wallace Shawn as Vizzini. Why to not mention him would be “Inconceivable”.   Fezzik  the afore mentioned Andre, is a very light hearted Brute.  Believing in sportsmanship, and He Likes the rhyming game.  He has a bond with  Inigo Montoya, Played my Mandy Patinkin (hey what were you Patinkin) who definitely  has the line that most people remember from the Flick.  “Hello My name is Inigo Montoya, You killed My Father. Prepare to Die”.  theres also a Cameo by Billy Crystal. Who Upon meeting Andre was Inspired to Write and Star in the movie. My Giant.  Well those are the Characters.  I could talk about the plot and all that. But I prefer to talk about the Things I like about the movie.  I  Cant put a finger on why this is one of my favourite movies. It just touches Something Deep inside me.  Is it a guilty Pleasure to Enjoy a movie that was made For Rob Reiners 2 daughters.  Therefore it was meant for Little girls who like princess movies, and Eternal love and such.  I suppose it is. Go give it a watch.  You’ll never be the same.

I’d be remised if I Didn’t mention the fencing Duel.  If you don’t like Fencing you will after this Fight.  The Repartee Between Inigo and Wesley is absolutely,  Hilarious.  The Conversation before Hand, Giving the Exposition of  Inigo Story.  There so polite For People that are about to Fight Each other,  it’s a Must See. Even if you just Google that Clip.

Glee Never been kissed Review.

wow

wow so its been a month since my last confession.  i.e. Blog. well the op 5 fav. movie reviews are coming, however today is my Birthday.  I really  want to Go to the Bar and Sings some songs. but I have an Appointment at 9 tomorrow and I'm really tired now.  I can Barley keep my eyes open to write this.  I mean it is My Birthday, and all in all, since last year not much has Changed. I mean, I still work the same job. I'm still Husky, But really Sexy husky. I still feel Like a hermit. although my apt. is Cleaner.  but all in all. I'm still alone in the Romantic Dept. My friends have been great. I think I only got about a 5 or 6 Happy Birthdays last year on Face book. this Year I got. like 20.  connected with some old friends, Met some new ones.  Been laughed at when I asked a Girl To Dance.  I guess laughing is happy, and laughter is positive, where as the names they Used to Call were not.  I guess By the Time I'm 40 a woman might want to settle Down.  well Happy Birthday Diva

With Honors



    Years Ago I thought of Different Sort Of Psychology.  Now I’m Not A Major in anything. But I had This Idea that if you took an honest look at your Top 5 Favorite movies, it would tell you something about yourself.  So I have decided to review my Top 5 movies.  Starting with number 5.  With Honors. For more on the Movie  watch the Trailer   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxYDjcqc-xU .  First of all, Many People might start running for the doors when they see Brendon Frasiers name.  I personally Like him, But with Dudley Do Right, George of the Jungle,  Encino Man,  and the Mummy 3 Under his Belt. He Does have a History of  Bad Movies.  So here’s one You may not have heard of.  Released in 1994,  also Starring Joe Pecsi, who is about to give his most memorable performances.  A Supporting Cast that is Second To none.  Patrick Dempsey,   Not Looking so McDreamy here, as a Lay about Disc Jockey, who’s enjoying the Finer things about College life. You know Like partying and Getting Laid.  Also Starring Someone who Will pop up once more in my top 5,  The Moira Kelly.  The Epitome of My Dream girl.  Strong, Snarky, Crass, and the Love interest of Brendon’s in this movie although she is more than that.   I guess If you watched the Trailer, I don’t have to bore you with the Synopsis.  So I’ll Just Give My Impression.   The Movie is about Helping one Grow,  When We first meet Monty(Frasier)  he’s the typical Rich Kid you love to hate.   Simon(Pecsi)  looks Nothing like Joe Pesci. With his Long Hair and Beard.  He is Quick witted and Extremely Intelligent.  As someone living in the Boiler room of a Library should be.  After the Initial Awkwardness of the Characters,  something more than Just a Friendship is being Played out. And Monty wants to Help Simon, but Eventually its Simon Who Helps and teaches Monty.   I don’t think I have to give this Movie a Thumbs Up If its My 5th  Favourite Movie.  So if you have nothing to do  and are looking for a movie to Watch . With honors is Decent  Flick.

Stay Hungry (1976)

At a Giant Tiger…sorry GT Express. Wrestlemania Weekend.  I always enjoy looking at the Cheap Movies.  Some are Bad Movies. Witch you hope are bad, and Others are Hidden Gems.  I see Arnold Schwarzenegger.  I better look at this one.Stay Hungry  Also Starring  Jeff Bridges(Bonus),  and Sally Field.  Well 2 good Actors and Arnold. Also Its From 1976, this Mite Just Be Arnolds First movie.  Pumping Iron He Played Himself so That Don’t count. Lets Have a Look.  Well First of all I notice Robert Englund Squeky Voiced Little Gym Dweeb,  Apparently He’s Joe Santos’s Oil Boy…Oh Santos is Arnolds Character.  Yeah He Looks Like a Santos.  I should Mention this is Based On the Book of the same Name written By Charles Gaines.  First thing  I Notice When I put the DVD in is there's a Features Section. Not Even Special Features. Just Features.  There is a Commentary Option By the Director and Field and Bridges.  Right away I have a good Feeling about this Movie.  Both have Won  Oscars,  although Jeff’s not til Recently.  He’s Been Nominated  about 6 times.  I gotta Honestly Say I am a Jeff Bridges, Mark, or Fan.  Ever Since The Fisher King.  So For the 2 of them to actually Do a commentary Years later.  I think they Must Be Proud of this Movie.   I Guess I should Also Mention that this Movie was Nominated and Won For  2 Golden Globes.  Best Comedy Adapted from Another Medium, Both Charles Gaines and Director  Bob Rafelson, we’re Nominated.  And  the Golden Globe  goes to  Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the Category of Best Acting Debut in a Motion Picture - Male.   Wow How Bout that.  Arnold award winning actor.  The First Time We See Arnold, He’s Lifting Weights With a Cape and a mask.  He later Says Its just cause its Funny.  It is a Heart Warming Tale,  Arnold Is Very Watchable in this Movie,  and Doesn’t  Remind me  at all Of the Arnold we all make Fun of.  And Yet Here He is Playing a Bodybuilder.  His Natural Charisma, and Charm are on Fell Display.  But He Isn’t the Star. This If defiantly about Bridges and Field.  And There On-screen Chemistry is Real Apparent,  and Seems Real Authentic.  I guess I Found A Gem, Not a Lemon,  I defiantly Recommend this Movie,  To anyone Who Enjoys a Good Love Story,  and The South.

What has V.O.G. Done For me Lately


    My bar travels have been rocky to say the least.  I’m a hermit by trade.  Yet even I get sick and tired of the same 4 walls everyday.  So I try an change my ways, and go out.  The one thing missing from this bar was Karaoke. Aside from Wrestling and anything related to Superman,  Karaoke “are a few of my Favourite things”.   It happens, “my bar” gets karaoke,  well I hitch up my saddle and a way  I go.   Showing off my chops for the regulars,   was a lot fun, but this was only the beginning.  One of the lovely ladies that was at Karaoke that night invited me to another bar where they perform…..Since her friend was the host I accepted Forthwith.  And down the road I went.   For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture,  I walked away.

    Such was the case another bar I had come to envelop, to call my own, But due to my Low Self Esteem, I felt I had been Humiliated….Again.  Well maybe in a Few months.  I’d venture forth once more,  to find another bar.  Rinse.   Repeat.

    Inbox(1).  It was the Lamp Lover, Cletus the Karaoke King , himself.  The Magician of the Mic.  Wrote me a letter, wondering where I’d been.  And in no uncertain terms, let it be known, it was not I who should be humiliated but those who….It Doesn’t Matter.  “we got a new spot, we would Love to have you out”.  What could I say but yes.   I was welcomed back with open Arms.  The Danger Man had a New mission.  To feed the DIVA.

    Only one problem. There was no Diva to be found.  Yet.  The Only way to truly make an entrance, is to be surrounded by those you love, and who love you back.  And Slowly but Surely(don’t call me Shirley)  My  entrances became bigger and bigger.  More and more Love was Bestowed  upon me, as I Besmirched those who didn’t want nor deserve mine. Somewhere in the middle of all this I fell in love with…me.  I had somehow found all the Self Worth I lost so long ago.  Soon Women , girls, and a few Angels,  started noticing not my 6-pack but my Radiance,  offering duets, and to be Dance partners. Flabbergasted was I.  I was on top of the World…………BUT…..
    I’d been Humiliated again.  Time to Move on…..I’d overstayed my welcome……NOT THIS TIME…….V.O.G. has Created a Diva. No, no, no, no,  The DIVA was Inside Me all along.  All I needed was the Voices Of God, to awaken Him.  Each and Every Singer, Host, Fan, Judge, and Waitress.  I’m not Leaving, For I have found my Home…..The Isle of Misfit Toys.

Does anyone Listen

         The poet sits alone on stage, a mic, and a spotlight.   Tells an arousing, morally salacious tale, meant only in jest.  later a woman walks up and says that poem was deep.  Does anyone Listen?

    The poet Tells of a Lost love.  About the one that was equal, in passion,  intellect, and thoughtfulness, When Suddenly without warning the wind carried her away.  The Crowd Laughed.  Does anyone Listen?

    Dismayed, Depleted, Depressed, Defeated.  Walking Home Alone,  Wishing it would rain,  an Idea popped into the Poets head.  and his Home Surrounded him,  a pen, a paper.  He starts painting In Fonts, Satisfied with the result,  The last two lines are Read aloud.



    The Poets speaks, Doesn’t anyone Listen? They Pay attention, does it matter?

I'm just saying
