Friday Night Chill

Ugh, I hate it when it gets cold. Specially so 'all of a sudden'. The change in weather got me and now its me and Theraflu for the rest of the evening. I personally think that I've come down with the Bubonic Plague, but my better half thinks I'm exaggerating just a bit.

Anyway, today I thought I'd try a couple of new 'Spots' for you. I've decided to feature trailers to movies that seem interesting to me. I wouldn't guarantee that all the movies I show here will be good, but I will say that the trailers are interesting. That's a feature I call 'Trailer Park'. I've also decided to start 'Funny-bone' which will include videos or stuff I just found funny and you may get a chuckle or two out of it.


Today on the Perspective:

Craziest Commute to Work
Huge Storm Rocks NY
Trailer Park - Priest, Unstoppable
Mayweather Ducks Pacquiao But Fights Wife
Funny-Bone - Antoine Will Fuck You Up!




Craziest Commute to Work
Alright, I would never be able to do this job. I'm afraid of heights as it is, so this in real life ... would rattle me to say the least. With that being said, this guy has a breathtaking commute to work that most likely starts when he gets into the building. Watch the start and then just skip around. Damn, what balls on these cats to just do this day in and day out.

Huge Storm Rocks NYC

Of course you know of the big storm that hit us yesterday, but here is footage of Brooklyn. This was taken from some camera that was posted on a building. This is some wild video of when mother nature visits NYC. Isn't it beautiful in a scary way just how powerful and abrupt weather can be. Now the video says that its a tornado, but I don't see it. I don't think the whole thing is the tornado, so I can't verify whether its a tornado or not. But its still scary looking.



Trailer Park
      Priest
This one is one of those 'comic book' movies. I've never actually read this one, but I hear it was great. Now as you can tell from that guy's face, these priests take being a priest to another level. Its got Paul Bettany in it, who I like from a couple of other movies (can you name them? probably not). It also has Karl Urban who's been in quite a few movies and is actually a very good actor. I'd keep my eye on him as his stock is bound to rise.
The plot: A warrior priest (Paul Bettany) disobeys Church law by teaming with a young sheriff (Cam Gigandet) and a beautiful priestess (Maggie Q). The three band together to track down a band of renegade vampires who have kidnapped the priest’s niece before they turn her into one of them.





       Monsters
This is an independent British film. It just looked like a cool trailer. Nothing too special about it, it just seemed very intriguing.
 The plot, is: "Six years after Earth has suffered an alien invasion a cynical journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through an infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border."



 

        Unstoppable
This one is a Denzel and Chris Pine. Chris Pine is the guy that played Kirk in the new Star Trek flick (with Karl Urban). He's another actor who is really rising. I haven't seen him in anything too challenging, but from what I have seen, he's impressed me.

The Plot: "A rail company frantically works to prevent an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train carrying combustible liquids and poisonous gas from wiping out a city."




Mayweather Ducks Pacquiao but Fights Wife
One fight that fans of boxing want to see is Pacquiao Vs. Mayweather. But it looks like this won't happen. Each time the fight was close to a done deal, Mayweather has looked for an excuse to not do it. His best trick was to use Pacquiao's fear of having his blood drawn as a deal breaker by asking for Olympic Style drug testing in this non-Olympic contest.  After a month or so Pacquiao finally agreed to this, signed the contract and it was up to Mayweather. What does 'Money' do now that Pacquiao has jumped through all the hoops he wanted? He sat on the contract and is refusing to sign it. As a matter of fact, Mayweather even denies the fact that a second round of negotiations took place, even though the HBO president was there and has confirmed the fact that this took place. Shit, that pussy even went as far as to just insult Pacquiao in a video (you can see here) for no fucking reason. He just likes to brag about money all the time. I wish he would realize that, "yes, we know you have fucking money. You're supposed to have money, you are a Boxing champion. Seriously, congratulations on your money, wooo-hooo for you, now take off your skirt and fight."

As you may have heard, Floyd 'Money' Mayweather is in trouble with the law. He allegedly beat his wife, threatened her, took her phone and threatened his own kids. Now I lost respect for Mayweather when he backed out of fighting Pacquiao. So this is a new low for him. You can see the story here. What the fuck is up with celebrities and beating women? I'd like to say its not true but I don't want to defend this guy. He rubs me the wrong the way and he won't fight Paquiao.

Funny-Bone Antoine Will Fuck You Up!
If I ever have a 'Funny-Bone' hall of fame, this pair of videos will be on that list. This video was actually sent to me from Joe P. This is a regular news report until our boy Antoine gets to say a couple of things. Its a terrible crime, but luckily Antoine is on the case.



"Hide yo kids, hide yo wives, and hide your husbands!!" LOL, this guy is freaking great! He is worked up,  and has no problem letting everyone know. LOL, but check out this remix that these cats did with Auto-tune and I'm assuming some booze, LOL, enjoy:

Japanese Precision

This is the shortened version of the clip, but check out this display of Japanese Precision. This was done with about 40 Japanese students. When you were in school, did you know 40 people capable of this?





You can find the whole presentation here. Is pretty cool, but it is about 8 minutes long. Though it is a great watch, specially with a couple of drinks in your system.


American Military Efficiency

A few army guys can take a whole Jeep apart and rebuild it in under 4 Minutes!





'Burn the Koran Day' Canceled

Turns out the guy, with quite possibly the worse mustache in the history of mustaches, is finally going to cancel his plan to burn the Koran. "Not today, not ever," were his words as you can see here. Of course, he claims God is telling him to stop and then compared himself to Abraham. Funny thing is that he said that he just wanted to prove that there is a radical faction of Muslims... No shit, who does he think flew two airplanes into our buildings in 9/11, TV salesmen? Did he not realize that radical extremists do not represent a religion? It almost looks to me as if he's really just taking some death threats very seriously, and is correctly backing out of this. I hope nobody does anything to him, and since he didn't actually do it, i don't expect anybody to do that. The crazies are out there, and you make yourself a target to them when you would desecrate whatever their religion may be. But I really hope the religious extremists realize that he never actually did it. The last thing I would want would be for some nut to think their God is telling him/her to kill me.

But that mustache is so brutal it makes a statement about that guy. This guy's 'Fu' needs a little more oomph to get a 'Manchu.'


Mascot Deer Saves Cheerleader From Rival
This one is that 'cute-funny' that anyone can like.






New Linkin Park Album Releases Tomorrow 

Linkin Park's latest album 'A Thousand Suns' releases tomorrow (9/14/10). I'm not sure how familiar you are with the band but their last album ('Minutes to Midnight') was amazing. It was one of the best albums that year. You can see the footage from their VMA Performance here. Though this isn't my favorite song, I am excited about the album. This band really hit their stride with 'Minutes to Midnight' and will hopefully follow that up successfully.
 




Eva Mendes Sex Tape

That's right, I was saving the best for last. How many of you skipped through this whole thing, just to see this. Its not exactly an exclusive, but when I first saw it, it was just... memorable (if it doesn't play click here):
 

Somber Friday

Weiner Busts Balls
Koran Burning Day?
Don't Count Your Chickens... 
A Little Too Much Passion?



Weiner Busts Balls

Of course, my saint-like mannered friends, a story with that tittle has to do with NY Congressman Anthony Weiner. In July 29th congress held a vote to give health care to those who were sickened by the toxins from the 9/11 attacks. That's right, this $7.4 Billion was to go to first responders, and civilians who were exposed to the debris from the falling twin towers. These people are desperately sick and needed this money to help pay their extremely high medical bills. However, the Republicans felt differently about that money.

Politicians play political games and this is one of those times. Since the Democrats were elected to fix the economy and... well the country, the Republicans have tried very hard (and have been successful to a point) to remind everyone that the Democrats can't run a government. Best way to do this is to prevent the whole government from doing anything by clogging up votes such as this one.

Democrats from the House of Representatives thought that everyone could agree with giving the $7.4 Billion to the people that the government failed to protect so that they could get well. So they tried to move the bill along quickly, and therefore would need OVER two-thirds of the house of representatives to pass the bill. This move also prevented Republicans from adding on any bullshit amendments, they just wanted this to be about helping these people. Republicans are a little more than one third of the house of the representatives. Democrats could only get 12 Republicans to help the 9/11 victims. So since they could not get 13 Republicans to vote for this, the bill died.

Which brings us to our friend Anthony Weiner. He didn't expect all Republicans to vote against this, and he didn't take his displeasure lightly. Now, I'll say that he kept it respectable. I mean he went off but its as if he had a 'I'm in front of my fellow Congressmen' filter. But if you can read between the lines, then friend, I have a pretty entertaining story for you:




I wish this guy was representing Jersey. I mean, he did stroll in there a bit worked up already, but he remained relatively cool until someone tried to interrupt him. Now you can interpret it anyway, I took it as:

"I will not yield!" Means "Come up here and Shut me up!"
"The gentleman will observe regular order," means, "You shut the fuck up!"
"The gentleman is wrong," means, "Fuck that mutherfucker!"
"A shame! A shame," means, "Fuck all them mutherfuckers over there!"
"The gentleman will observe regular order," means, "Shut the fuck up!"
"The gentleman is correct in sitting," means, "you better sit the fuck down!!"

I know my version curses a bit more, but after a couple of drinks tell me you don't hear the same thing.

John Stewart from the Daily Show had a great report on this (fun fact, John Stewart and Congressman Weiner not only went to college together, but were roommates):

I Give Up - 9/11 Responders Bill
www.thedailyshow.com
Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Tea Party

Unfortunately this was all moot as the Republicans killed the bill already. Now if the remaining 9/11 survivors want any help with their medical bills for sicknesses that were caused in 9/11 they will have to sue the government that failed to protect them that day.

Luckily it seems the Democrats have developed a spine after all and will bring this bill back up in such a way that it would just need a simple majority.


Koran Burning Day

Now I don't want to say that I saw something like this coming, but I saw something like this coming. It isn't as bad as the Muslim cab driver that was stabbed for being Muslim, or the various assaults and property damage that has been targeted at Muslims, but this can have the most impact.

This gentleman is Pastor Terry Jones pastor of "Dove World Outreach Center" (a non-denominational church) apparently wanted to hold a Koran Burning day. That's right, he wanted to hold a special day to burn the Muslim 'bible'. Why, you ask? Because he believes that that the Koran is 'full of lies'. That's pretty much it. Both political parties have denounced this 'Koran Burning Day' as well as just about every religious group.

Who would this Koran burning hurt? Our troops. In various different interviews, General Patraeus (the General recently put in charge of the Afghan war) has made it clear that if this guy does this, it will hurt his troops. Think about it, Bin Laden will have new recruitment tool. If this goes down it'll be easier for the abusers of religion to convince the poor and uneducated that America wants to burn down their way of life.

How can we convince Muslims in Afghanistan that we just want the terrorist out of there when they can see an American pastor and his 'church' burn their holiest book?

This man is an example of what happens when a crazy person perverts a religion for his own agenda. General Pataeus sees similarities between how this guy uses religion to create a fear and hatred, "it is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the world we are engaged with the Islamic community."

The latest is that this guy said that he is postponing the Koran burning because the Muslims behind the Park51 recreation center (ground zero mosque) have agreed to move the center in exchange for not burning the Koran. Unfortunately this doesn't appear to be true, as the people behind the Park51 recreation center have stated that they never promised him such a thing. I hope they don't do it, just because you shouldn't give into the whims of a nut-job threatening to burn your holy book. Now we have other nut-jobs around the nation that are not only going to do it, but also post it on YouTube themselves. This man has already grabbed plenty of media attention, and now other nut-jobs know how to get nation-wide media attention.

My take? This guy has a history of shady organizations in the past and this (and that mustache) is just his nuttiest idea so far. I hope this guy changes his mind. Again, the government shouldn't get involved, as we have the right to protest as long as its not hurting anyone. This is the other side of the freedoms we have.

Speaking of protests, here is a clip of Colin Powell on 'The View' talking about the Park51 recreation center. He kind of voices my thoughts on it.






Don't Count Your Chickens...

Alright, this doesn't have to do with much, but just check this goalie out. He saves a penalty kick, but goes straight to celebrating and doesn't notice the ball spin its way in there.






A Little Too Much Passion?

Now check out this candidate for county treasurer in Ohio. LOL, this guy has a little too much passion... a little too much caffeine in his coffee... a little too much WWE. I swear I didn't know if this guy was going to go psycho and hit someone with a steel chair. I didn't know he was running for anything, I thought he was challenging me to a Wrestle-mania match.

Well that's it for today.
