MOVIE REVIEW: SEX AND THE CITY 2

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Yea, I saw it. Yea, so what?! My girlfriend and her friend wanted to go so I did, so what?! STOP JUDGING ME! Anyway, it wasn’t even that bad. In fact, it wasn’t even bad at all and that kinda halfway scares me. To be honest, half the time I find chick flicks to be more entertaining then “dude” flicks. I’m gonna come right out and say that I thought this movie was way better than Iron Man 2, but I guess that’s not saying much. Saying Sex and the City 2 is better than Iron Man 2 is like saying an OK day at the office is better than a shotgun blast to the face.

Sex and the City 2 is what it is, it’s obviously a “chick flick”, but I don’t think it’ll bore the guys either. They might find it a bit awkward when the ladies in the theater (99% of the audience) scream out in shock at certain plot points but I guess that’s to be expected. I really didn’t think I’d be entertained much but I was. I never found myself bored at all actually.

What I noticed about the film though is how many of the ladies (99% of the audience) not only swooned over the hot dudes and their nude asses but also over the jewels, dresses and big walk-in closets. I could not help but wonder, would they care as much if Sex and the City 2 was a reflection of the current times, focusing on the Great Depression part two? If Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte were bums on the street, would people still wanna watch? If all four of them were found in this film with jobs lost, fine jewels and designer dresses sold to help pay for their drug habits and strung out in NYC would it still be Sex and the City? It seems that a big part of the film is about seeing the glitz and glamor lifestyle of rich New Yorkers. I guess I can’t blame girls for swooning over such things, some of my male brethren swoon over titties, nice cars and explosions in their favorite films.

I guess it just seems a tad bit lame when half the reason some people watch a film is to get bombarded with advertising. It feels like with some of these movies that I’m watching MTV Cribs or Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with a little story thrown in. I guess it makes sense though, they gotta keep that little dangling piece of cheese in front of us or how else we gonna keep that wheel going? How else we gonna get out of this economic slump? Man, this review just got pretty dang depressing…

With a franchise like Sex and the City it almost doesn’t matter if the movie is good or not, ladies wanna see the four of them together. It’s just like how dudes wanna see Bruce Willis as John McClane or Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, no matter how bad it sucks. Lucky for the ladies, this one ain’t bad.

Lately I’ve been listening to Andrew Jackson Jihad a lot. Maybe you haven’t heard of them before but we can easily fix that. Check out these really great songs.

Carry a Canteen

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

Canteen, stainless steel bottle, a SIGG, whatever your choice, but the benefits are tremendous. I€™ve been carrying around a stainless steel bottle filled with water for the past several months and not only have I saved probably hundreds of dollars in drinks (usually sugary bullshit that is in no way good for your health) but I€™ve also felt great due to properly hydrating my body on the regular. You€™d be amazed at the physical difference once you cut out drinking all the crap you are used to and substitute it for pure water. Weight loss is not a goal of mine but I€™ve lost probably 7-10 pounds just from drinking water instead of my usual diet of soda, iced tea and juice. While I still drink juice in the morning and have tea every few days (hot tea is excellent for you), I mostly just consume water.

This bottle cost me less than $6 dollars at a local Duane Reade. It€™s sturdy, stainless-steel (which is important, certain other containers can leak harmful chemicals into the contents of the bottle) has a large mouth to easily pour water into it like from a fountain and it holds well over 20oz.

I stress the importance of a few things with this, aside from purchasing a proper bottle that will not contaminate the water, you also have to clean it regularly which isn€™t very difficult but just something to remember. The benefits of carrying around a bottle are much greater than just the cost. This is also extremely environmentally friendly. Much less waste and plastic disposable bottles will be left un-recycled and sitting in landfills. Not only is that a major victory for the environment, but a lot of times, the bottled water is actually the same quality or of lower quality then your tap water at home. If you are concerned with your tap water quality, then just purchase a Brita or Pur filter system. After a few days or weeks, you€™ll have recouped your costs.

WHAT’S IN DA FRIGE?!

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

All the movie stars, sports athletes and models always have to show you what they got in their refrigerator on MTV Cribs. It’s a given. I’m here to show you how the other half lives. The reality of the american middle class refrigerator, where leftovers aren’t wasted but instead cherished, for sometimes years to come.

My girlfriend is showing off the Sauerkraut of 6/06…a devilish delight. It was decent four years ago, like an aged fungous it probably has even more bite now.

Maybe your palette isn’t screaming four year old kraut, lucky for you we also have a healthy portion of August of 2008′s Pot Roast.

My freezer is like a fucking grade school science fair project. Ever get a block of frozen Polly-O cheese dropped on ya big toe? I have!

These dogs are delicately laced with a little bit of icy snow, harkening back to the winter of last year in which they were from.

Lucky for Jamie that she doesn’t eat meat because in my house you never really know what year’s food is on your plate.
