SCREW YOU TRUDEAU...GO PENS

HEY TRUDEAU...GO F**K YOURSELF!  OTTAWA IS ''NOT'' CANADA'S TEAM.

By that I mean Canada's Team is whomever WE AS CANADIANS choose to cheer for.  I will not automatically cheer for a team because they are the last Canadian team standing. Especially if Trudeau endorses a team.  Yes I absolutely HATE this punk Trudeau version 2.0.  And close behind him is the Ottawa Senators.  I have more respect for brussel sprouts.  And I hate those too.

I don't like the name Ottawa, I don't like the city, I don't like their team name which to me is arrogant and cocky...Senators...get stuffed...and I cant stand their jersey's.

Trudeau...says that Ottawa was Canada's Team because they were the last Canadian Team left.  What does that make Sidney Crosby?  He's Canadian. I'd be insulted if I was him.

The point is...Hey Lipshitz...Yeah Im talking to you Trudeau.  I DID ''NOT'' VOTE FOR YOU.  I do not recognize you for who you think you are.  You are not my PM. 

And you certainly...you arrogant prick...DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME AS AN INDIVIDUAL...EVER!

So its Nashville and Pittsburgh.  I called Chicago-Pens...Im half right.

Go Pens.  All I want...is for Barry Trotz to be replaced.  Washington will NEVER win the Cup with him behind the bench.  Nuff said.

ALLEGIANT-DID YOU KNOW?

Did you follow the Insurgent movies?  I like watching movies several times (more than twice) because I can catch all the little things better.

Things that action scenes hide.  Bad editing or plot fails. Occasionally it brings up a WTF moment.

In Allegiant, Triss Prior completes the challenges and opens the box.  This triggers a video from the founders explaining the Chicago experiment.  The woman talking in the video is Edith Prior.  Triss Prior's aunt.

Is LeBron James Wrecking Basketball?

He's this decades version of Michael Jordan.  He can single handedly win the game.  He's that good.

So what do you do?  Do you spend millions on basketball stars hoping to beat him?  Probably not.  I suspect a lot of teams are riding mediocre.  Rather than spend millions they are simply building average teams capable of competing but not winning.  Waiting for Lebron to get old and get out of the game.  He's too expensive to compete against for the competition.

So other teams are simply...waiting him out.  You can have too much of a good thing...unless you are Lebron James.

EXPENDABLES 1-EDITING FAIL

At the beginning of Expendables 1, Stallone says to Statham, bullets are faster than knives.

Now...Statham is holding a loaded rifle with a laser scope.  Then he's chucking knives.  HUH???

So he has to drop the gun to throw the knives in his belt???  Productive.  Also while holding the rifle with both hands he still has a hand to show Stallone the knives in his belt as he slowly removes then replaces a knife from his belt.

You have a loaded rifle. 

Its little things like this that really make it hard for me to enjoy movies.  If you cant do it...CGI it then.  Don't bullshit your way through it.  WE CAN SEE ALL THE FLAWS!

Hoping the action hides the flaws only insults the viewing public.

Vin Diesel gave up a working salary for (IIRC) Fast Furious 5, the equivalent of $25 Million,  for the sole proprietary rights to Riddick.

Now you know.

Blu Ray Just Not Worth It

I love my movies.  Mostly, there is always a movie playing in the background while I play video games, engage in hobbies or other.  I wouldn't be lieing if I said there are some movies I have seen over 100 times.  Its no wonder I can spot plot fails. 

I at first bought only DVD's treating Blu Ray like it was Beta.  But then,  I could only find certain movies in DVD combo Blu Ray.  A couple of bucks more...but hey..its back up for the DVD should it get damaged.  Then by mistake, I bought a couple of movies in Blu Ray only. 

So now I had to upgrade my DVD player to include a Blu Ray/DVD player.  I usually burn out a dvd player in 6-7 months.

Maybe Im unlucky.  I don't know, so Im not saying the equipment is lousy.  But I have 2-LG Blu Ray players that include Hi Def, WiFi and a whole other bunch of extra features I'll never use.  I decided to try LG after my Sony Blu Ray/DVD player burnt out.  Im finding that these fancy Blu Ray machines are simply too sensitive.   I have nothing but problems.  They freeze on nothing.  One day they'll play blu ray disks...the next day, it wont.  Right out of the box.  All of them.  Put in a DVD...no problem. 

The Blu Ray freezes at every mark on the disk...mine do...but outside of Sylvania (Sylvania is cheap crap, pure garbage) my Toshiba and Sony DVD only players could play a disk covered in honey.  Ok, a slight exaggeration, but you get the idea.

Plus, all these hi def TV's have ruined my movie experiences.  Older tube TV's may have had lower resolution, but it helped hide and blended the effects making the movie seem more real.  Now, I can see every time they use the blue screen.  Its kinda like knowing how the magician does his magic trick.

Maybe I just got unlucky with the Blu Ray players.  Maybe its the equipment, maybe not.  But I never had any real problems with a simple standard DVD player and it seems the fancier we get with our toys, the more problematic they become.

I'll have to re buy a couple of movies to replace the blu ray disks.  But Im sticking with standard DVD's.   KISS is always a good rule to follow.
