I have to admit I'm pretty excited about the next movie Tanner is going to review. I won't say what the movie is but here are some people in it.
The main guy from Quantum Leap, Sinbad, Rob Schneider, Jason Bateman, Kathy Ireland, Evander Holyfield, Jerry Rice, and Tony Dorsett.

Survey
There is not much time left to vote for the survey at the bottom of the page. I put it about roughly 153 days ago just to see if anyone would notice. Looks like that is a no.
Fantasy Football
With Fantasy Football coming up, I thought I would post one of the best fantasy football commercials ever.
I am pretty excited to start running three different fantasy teams. I have not done enough research but I think that I will be prepared when the time comes.

Review 2: Drumline
OR – Stefan’s bootlegged copy of Drumline from China: “The School of Rock 2, starring Jack Black, Orlando Jones, and Mike White”
Sorry this review is a little late, but I was at a wedding in God’s country this weekend and have a bad case “coughuplungitis”. I’ll try to have more “analysis” and less “summary” in this review, because Mr. Brown taught me that in 10th grade.
The plot is simple: Devin (aka Mr. Mariah Carey) is the best damn snare drummer in the galaxy, but his talent is overshadowed by his ego. He earns a scholarship to an historically black college in Atlanta and joins the marching band, where he immediately clashes with the senior drumline leader (angry black man) and the band instructor (the Metropolitan Library computer from “the Time Machine”). There are periods of ups and downs, laughs and tears, love and heartbreak, and snares and tubas, followed by everyone compromising and learning to get along resulting in triumph.
Never did I imagine that I would like this movie as much as I did (slightly). Once I got past the horrible dialogue (“Do you ladies feel a step coming on?”), the tried and true clichés (white dude in the band can’t dance, until Nick Cannon teaches him to dry hump his bass drum), the unrealistic attempts to make it a family movie (a frat party where the only substance abuse going on is Ray-Ray dancing with a bag of sun-chips), and the outrageous plot holes (Nick Cannon making it through 5 years of marching band and earning a full scholarship despite not knowing how to read sheet music) I was left with about 20 minutes of not only watchable, but entertaining drumming montages.
Aside from the montages, Drumline also had some educational moments. So you don’t have to sit through the whole movie, I will share with you everything I learned about historically black college marching band culture. First, the best way to pick up a girl is to say: “Whyontchoo skoo me on how ta come attasista?” (sp?). Second, marching band is just as bad-ass the marines, and maybe more so, because the girls can do one-arm pushups too. Finally, drumming on another person’s drum in the midst of a drum battle challenge is akin to stabbing their mother with a rusty toilet brush and raping the wound.
For those of you who haven’t seen Drumline, I recommend skipping the first hour and a half or so and start watching at the obligatory Stuart Scott cameo, which signals the beginning of the BET commercial segment of the movie. From here on it is all drum business. First, the rival school uses its far-reaching marching band connections to get Petey Pablo to show up in a rabbit coat and a Bentley. Who’s Petey Pablo you ask? Why, he is none other than the musical genious who gave us this gem from 2001! From then on, it’s “this means drum-war” and the bands bust out their best routines (which are admittedly really cool. Even the part where they cover a J-Lo song). After the dust settles and the scores are announced…it’s A TIE! Resulting in a *gulp* DRUM-OFF! This NEVER happens in movies! Again, more really cool drum shit, Nick Cannon redeems himself, Atlanta A&T has saved its program, roll credits, gethtefuckout while on top. Why didn’t Brett Favre watch more movies like this instead of going all “Return of the King” on us?

To the #1 fan...
Yesterday I gave the next movie to Tanner... he was out of town this weekend so expect the movie review to come soon.
I am currently watching the Bengals v. Packers game. The Bengals don't look like they have much going on. Their offense hasn't done much and they defense still sucks. They can't tackle. Aaron Rodgers is looking pretty good. You can tell he is young but if his season goes like how he has been playing today I think things are gonna be alright for him. Then again its only the end of the first quarter.

Jockin Jay-Z
BLUEPRINT 3 from kwest on Vimeo.
I just thought this was kind of funny... Jay-Z makes fun of Oasis and sings part of "Wonderwall"
Dr. Ronald Chevalier
This is a viral marketing film for the upcoming movie...Gentlemen Broncos. It looks like it could be funny, Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords is in it.

Favrevrevre2...
Well, I was wrong...Favre got traded to the Jets, and that is fine with me because I don't like the Jets. Jets suck, Favre sucks.
Favrevrever...
I am totally sick of Brett Favre and the whole fiasco that ESPN has made it. At the same time I thought that I should write something as people seem to be forgetting a very big thing about this all. The MADDEN CURSE...
Last year Vince Young was on the cover and he did not do as badly as some of the other cover guys (Alexander, McNabb, Vick, Faulk, or Culpepper). While Young did not have a big injury he did put up some shaky numbers (9 passing TDs and 17 interceptions). To finally end the Madden Curse, EA Sports decided to put an athlete on there who was retired. Who better than Brett Favre? He puts together plays that should never happen. He somehow pulls off the most ridiculous passes. He has also managed to play for like 40 years. Well everything was going fine until Favre decided to come back and screw over the Packers and Aaron Rodgers. It looks like now that he is going to be traded to Tampa Bay but whatever. Basically he sucks and I don't like him. Back to my point though, I think that with the Madden Curse and with the accumulation of Favre's bad karma I am predicting that he is going to have a terrible season. Scratch that, I think that he is going to tear his ACL at some point during the season. I have never actually wished for the Madden Curse to work but I certainly will this year.
I feel bad for Aaron Rodgers and I hate to say that I will be rooting for anything involving the Packers but I hope that he puts up good numbers and does a good job leading the team. Not saying I want the Packers to do well but I want Rodgers to play at least decently. If I was him I would be really pissed at Favre for acting like a douche.
To sum up my post...I hope Rodgers plays well and Favre does worse than terrible.
