Is How I met Your Mother getting better or worse?
I used to love the show How I met Your Mother. It was a funny and fresh sitcom. However now it seems to be getting boring and dull. For example the first two seasons (especially season 1) were really good. They were solid, funny and new. However Season three and four were just boring during most of their seasons. The ending of season three of How I Met Your Mother was good-- I liked where it was going-- however it got worse when it entered into season four. I'll comment some more in the future-- but does anyone else agree with me here?

Full Review of The Hangover
WOW. This movie is so good, I just saw it for the fourth time. It never gets old. It was directed by the same director as Old School (another funny movie) but the Hangover is much funnier and much more clever.
The movie is about three morons (Stu, Alan and Phil) who lose their best friend during a wild bachleor party in Las Vegas. The problem is that their friend Doug is getting married in 2 days-- so they have to find him and bring him back to L.A.
So Stu, Alan and Phil wake up after one wild night (we don't really get to see what happened) and their hotel room (in the Ceasers Palace) is literally trashed. There are stippers walking out, chickens all over the place and the room is completely trashed. When all three wake up they can't remember anything and like I said their friend is gone.
The reason why this movie works is because this movie is about adults who really shouldn't do what they did. There are a lot of these teen movies of teens partying, getting into problems and having girlfriend problems, etc, etc. But in this movie the guys are all about 40 years old-- they should know better. Thats what makes it so funny-- these adults get into major trouble and nobody is going to help them-- they are on their own. Funny.
I like Bradley Cooper here--- He usually plays a**holes (like in Wedding Crashers, etc) but here he is more likable, here he cares about his friends. The best part with him is when he tells his students (he plays a school teacher in this film) to bring 90 bucks for a fake feild trip and all the students do so-- but in reality he is taking their 90 bucks for the Vegas Trip. I thought that was very funny.
Ed Helms (Stu) is also great-- hes the one with brains-- kind of. His controlling and abusive girl friend is also funny-- the way he lets her take him-- man. And of course there is Zach Galifianakis playing a man child (Alan). But this character is my favriote-- he is just so bizarre. He is a retard here and almost everything he says will make you laugh.
Here I will list why the movie works so well:
* Its just 90 minutes-- not too bad.
* It always has something going down-- Either with Phil, Stu or Alan.
* Zach Galifianakis (Alan) steals the show. His character is hysterical. Almost every scene he is in is funny. I especially liked when he screamed "Hey there are Skittles in there!" and when he kicks a cell phone from the hands of a little boy.
* The pictures show what happened during the night of their bachelor party at the end---- and WOW.
If you haven't seen this movie, go see it. It is funniest movie I have seen this year.
FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS.

Why the Office Sucks
The American Office is probably one of the most boring shows ever. It just keeps going on and on, with no end in sight. Of course people have told me its the greatest show ever--- because it is so realistic. Not really. The Office is a fantasy--- No Boss of any company is Micheal Scott stupid. There's no way someone like that could get the position hes in. Moreover the Office is suppose to be a comedy--- yet it really isn't (I never really laughed at any of the jokes).
But what really pisses me off is people are saying how real it is, how great it is, and how its the greatest thing on TV right now. Well again, I completely disagree. And I'll get to why in a second.
First off, The Office is NOT original. Its actually a rip off of the U.K. Show The Office. Everybody knows that. And the U.K. Office, was the greatest TV show ever made. After watching the original version-- there is no better TV show (other than maybe LOST, but thats a different story). The U.K. Office was a love story for men--- it was a story of never giving up, never giving up hope--- it was a show that perfectly captured the people you work with. It was amazing from the first episode to the next-- very well made and very well written.
Of course the American Office has none of that-- and I'll get into that in the following posts.

Can Men and Women Just Be Friends
Recently I was going into some deep thinking about my past... and started to wonder Did I ever have any friends who were women? That to me was a difficult question, because I can't really say. If I did in the past, I no longer do now. However I do know that my best friends and other close friends are all men.
However this got me thinking-- Plantonic Friendships are they possible? Can a man and a woman just be friends and share all of life's joys and sorrows together without any romance getting involved? In the past I have certainly seen it. However in the past I always noticed something... its all about the people's race. In other words a White Woman will have many White Men for friends, a Black Women will have many Black Men as friends, A Brown Man will have many Brown Women friends, a Asian person will have Asian friends, an Arab, etc.
But in recent times now race is no longer much of a problem (although racism still exists in America) and now more men of differnce races and ethnicites are now becoming friends with women of differnet races and ethnicities. So going back to my original question--- is it possible for a man and woman to be friends? Maybe for most people. But for some men its just not possible, and sadly that is my case. Every women whom I have attempted to become friends with either left or betrayed me, leaving me in some loneiness and emptiness inside. But don't end up like me, its certainly possible if your a man to make friends and find comfort with a woman. It will provide something more than a close male friendship can offer.

Giving Up on Comic Book FanBoy Culture
Hi Everyone,
Sorry I have been away for a while. I have decided to give up on writing my own superhero movie-- after doing research on how Movies are written and developed, I am never going to get my screenplay made. Just view this documentary: Dreams on Spec. So, its never going to happen.
I have never really been a comic book fan-- but these fanboys are all over the place in America.. and man they scare the hell out of me. Just check out ComicCon, hundreds of these Comic Book fanboys go there and just talk about these fictional characters over and over. I just saw one the other day while I was in the mall-- he was checking out comic books at Borders and talking to the store worker about how he loves the latest Wolverine Comic. I was like "Holy Crap" if I continue down this fanboy culutre that's how I am going to end up like, alone with tons of comics, unopened action figures, all kinds of gaming systems from XBOX 360 to Playstation 3, having nothing to do in my spare time except collecting comics, playing games and just wasting away in a sad and lonely world of fantasy-- all while talking about how great the original Star Wars is. The very thought of that creeps the hell out of me.
So this is it, I am done with Fanboy Culutre as of now. Now I am interested in finshing undergrad, getting a job and proving the evidence of Islam to everyone. So long Comic Books, Video Games and Movies. Its time to put childish things aside.
Next Week: Can Men and Women be Friends? See My full thoughts Coming Soon!

SuperHeroes: The New Obession In HollyWood
There was a time when nobody wanted to do a "comic book" movie. Back in the day, these type of movies were frowned upon. Now every summer you get a new comic book movie. In 2000 We had X-men. Then we had Spider-Man in 2002. X-Men 2 and Hulk in 2003. Spider-Man 2 and The Punisher in 2004. 2005 we saw a new and rebooted Batman series called Batman Begins as well as the stinker Fantastic Four. In 2006 we saw X-Men 3 as well the boring Superman Returns. Then in 2007 we got the disappointing Spider-Man 3 as well as Fantastic Four 2 (this killed the series). Last year in 2008, We got at least four comic book based movies as well as a new Superhero movie. In 2008 we saw Hellboy 2, The Dark Knight, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man and finally Hancock (I'll get to Hancock in a minute). And this year we get stuff like X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Watchmen, etc.
Millions of Americans see these movies. Comic Book Nerds and Geeks (there are literally millions of them in this country) and even people who never read a comic book in their entire lives see go to see this shit. It's good fun, special effects, shit blowing up, good guys vs the bad guys, etc. But what really makes me want to write my own Superhero Movie is the story of how the Will Smith superhero movie Hancock was made.
In 1996 a new comer screenwriter, Vy Vincent Ngo called a very dark story called Tonight, He Comes. The story about a sad and lonely Superman called Hancock was extremely well written, and everyone in Hollywood wanted to buy it. Finally in 2002 the script was sold. And know how much Mr.Ngo was paid? 4 Million dollars. Of course Hollywood compeltley ruined the screenplay-- and the adult superhero flik Tonight, He Comes became the train wreck of Hancock.
But this got me thinking-- what if I wrote my own superhero screenplay? Would I get paid the same amount if it was really good? Would it get made? That would be awesome if some producer or studio decided to buy my script-- but anways I am going to write a superhero movie. Its going to be called Tonight, Its Going To Be Epic. Hopefully then some hot shot producer would buy the screenplay or story rights and this will be made into a real movie (I wish). During the summer I will post the story in five parts. And if someone steals my idea-- so what-- at least it'll be made into a movie lol!!
