Damn Sams

Sams from Lean On Me got arrested for drugs in real life. Looks like SOMEONE should have been listening to the speech Joe Clark gave on the rooftop! I’m not gonna make too many jokes about the actor who later went on to play Steel from Juice, and later, co star in future BET Blackbuster [...]

Beats Rhymes and Life Tonight

I’m going to see Beats Rhymes and Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest tonight since it’s opening in DC. I had a chance to see it last weekend in Los Angeles, but well, liquor happened, and I didn’t make it to the theater. This time, I bought my tickets in advance. I hate [...]

The Most Adorable Ass Whipping Ever

I need to find out where go in order to buy a Lego Bruce Lee from Enter The Dragon. I’d also get a Jim Kelly and Mr Han so I could reenact key scenes from the film at my desk when I’m bored. Then again that’s probably not a smart idea. I’d hate for my [...]

Glenn Close Looks Like George Washington

My mother does not like Glenn Close. It’s not like she’s ever met the woman; Mom simply cannot stand the sight of her. Whenever a Glenn Close film or show comes on TV, my Mom will say “That’s a HARD looking woman! I can’t believe anyone finds her attractive.” Last weekend, the Harrison Ford movie [...]
