Summer Films That You Should See Because I Recommended Them (Part 2)

Oh. Hello. You've ventured back to see what the top 5 movies of this summer are going to be. How exciting.

5. The Green Lantern

I had a boner just thinking about including my man crush on this summer movie list. I don't think anybody could say no to Ryan Reynolds. No man. No woman. He is the ultimate catch. The fact that Scarlett Johansson divorced him to be with Sean Penn, blows my mind. Probably the best looking guy of all time, dumped for the 52-year-old man with kids near his new girlfriend's age. Disgusting. I don't know what it is about girls and their obsessions with older men. Repugnant, vile creatures you are. But this is the 3rd major superhero movie that comes out this summer. I'm not sure exactly when it comes out, but I've got a gut feeling that it will be the best of the bunch. Thor is lame and #6 Captain America is a traitor. I love you Ryan.

4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

So I've read no more than 30 books in my entire life. Some people think that's classless, but those people are assholes. Why would I read when I can watch something instead, like a television adaptation or movie? But I did manage to read all 7 Harry Potter books because I was a virgin until I turned 19. Just kidding. I still am. However, these books were quick reads and very compelling with its wizardy and shenanigans. Too bad they were from England because America's schools would have been much cooler. And J.K. Rowling should have added sex to the books because at age 18 we all know that's what kids are doing anyway, at least the cool/normal ones. Make the book a little bit realistic. I also don't understand why Hollywood deemed it necessary to cut the final book into 2 separate films. I suppose to make more money, but it doesn't make much other sense. Still, I might feel compelled to see this one just to see Harry die. Oops, spoiler.

3. Super 8

You have to excuse me for this one. I know it goes against everything I stand for: being a conservative, an American, cool, and proud. But once upon a time I fell in love with this television program called Lost. It was the most character-driven show I had ever seen and immediately made a connection with all of them. That was in 2005. That show ended in 2010 after 6 seasons. If I had a time machine, I would go back to the day I decided to start watching the show and not do it. J.J. Abrams single-handedly took away 6 years from my life, all while I was yearning to understand the finality of the show. I will never forgive him. He also fucked up by making that shitty attempt of an American Godzilla, called Cloverfield. What a waste of $10.50 that was. But this time he teamed up with Steven Spielberg (E.T., every other fucking good movie from 1983-2008) to make another sci-fi/drama. I want to give this one a chance because of Spielberg's name, but believe me, I won't be surprised if this is one of the worst movies of our generation. Kids making movies and then seeing monsters doesn't exactly spell great, but what am I busy?

2. Cowboys & Aliens

This one's got a nifty concept. An old-school Western with a new age science fiction. Daniel Craig (James Bond), Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones, Han Solo), and Olivia Wilde (The O.C.) star and Jon Favreau directs, thus making this somewhat magical. It's a story about a new guy coming into town to bang his old girl while the new boyfriend watches, or something like that. And then aliens come and they fight together to kill them. Probably the most predictable outcome imaginable, but Favreau typically does good things. (See Iron Man, Pete in Friends). I'm just glad that it's not another fucking remake or sequel because that's all Hollywood seems to come up with nowadays. I read earlier today that Fox is rebooting The Flintstones. Is nothing sacred anymore? What are people going to do next? Remake Billy Madison with Justin Long? I'd kill myself. Let the classics go, man.

If you didn't figure out Number 1 by now, you're an idiot.

1. The Hangover Part II

I am now officially being hypocritical of my last comment. When I saw The Hangover, I marked it as an instant classic. It was one of the funniest movies I had ever seen. Right behind Billy Madison, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Wedding Crashers. Those are the three best comedies to ever have been made, and there's no arguing it. So why did they find it necessary to make a sequel to this movie? From all the trailers I've seen, it looks almost exactly like the first one. And I mean exact. In this case it might not be the worst thing because the first one was very very funny. But I don't want to see the same exact movie again, this time in Thailand. I feel like I'm going to be disappointed. But regardless, I have a penis and I have to see it. It's like a rule or something. And for that reason, this is this summer's top movie to go see.

My top 5 selections were a little too liberal for my liking, but I'm just going with what Hollywood gave me. If I had it my way, I'd be picking more movies like Good Will Hunting and The Color Purple (jk, jk), but I'm just a nobody. And you're just an asshole reading my blog. Now let me clear my throat as I announce, "I am better than you."

Angelina Jolie Went To Libya. I Hope She Doesn't Come Back

Today I read one of my favorite celebrity gossip sites/blogs much like I do everyday. In this case it was wwtdd.com. One of the featured stories listed today was about Angelina Jolie and how she went to Libya to be some sort of heroine. She talked to a bunch of the rebels or protestors or whatever and helped escort them to their native lands. She also helped arrange ambulances to take those who were hurt to hospitals. Bravo, Angelina. Bravo. You went to a foreign country in order to help those who needed it. Your goal was to educate the masses of the terrors of being in Libya right now. You are such a delight.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about this liberal whore going around the world and essentially "saving it". You aren't saving shit, Angelina. All you are doing is being a lame ass "ambassador" for the United States and going to places that we just bombed. Job well done. But what were you really doing there, Angie? Attempting to adopt another child to add to your miserable collection? It's pieces of shit like you who think you are standing up for something right, when in fact you are just looking for the publicity. I don't know you personally so I can't say for sure. But what reason do you really have for going to Libya?

Just about as much of a reason as the U.S. did. The doofus in the White House finds it necessary to be a policeman of the world, much like his predecessor W did. And look where that left us. Our debt is in the trillions and our currency is becoming more and more devalued by the day. Unfortunately due to the travesty in Japan, who backs the dollar, we are looking at more inflation. And it's really sad because just as we should be doing all that we can to help in Japan, we have people in power who think we should be bombing Libya, invading Iraq, and setting up camp in Afghanistan.

And this all goes back to Angelina Jolie. She is the face of what is currently wrong with our country. Instead of doing what is right and helping to get us out of this recession, she's going to other places in the world that also "need help." Well of course they need help. Not everywhere can be America. Heliocentric? No. Patriotic. But what that whore needs to realize is that America isn't in the best shape right now either. Look at our economy. Look at the unemployment rate. What's wrong with our children, Angelina? Do you know how many kids are in foster homes in the United States? Why can't you adopt any of them?

I'm sure foster homes in the U.S. are in much better condition than, say, those in Guatemala. But that doesn't mean she should find it necessary to adopt a kid from there. There's more to being in a foster home than the condition it's in. The kids need parental figures who will treat them with respect. How many kids do you think get adopted here that get abused either physically or sexually by their foster parents? I bet it's a decent amount. Let's take care of our own before we try to go and save everyone else. That's what got us into the financial turmoil in the first place.

I'm not much into politics, but I do love this country. And maybe some of my facts aren't straight but that doesn't take away from what I feel. Our country is mired in such a cesspool of shit that I personally think we need to get squared away before we can try to save everyone else. It's impossible. So these dumbass celebrities like Jolie, Madonna, and Sean Penn should be working their tails off to get some shit done here. In the United States. The home of the free and the brave. Not going to Libya because we're the reason they are in danger right now. Let's mind our own business and fix our country once and for all. You should agree with me because "I am better than you."
