Freaks and Geeks

1) Me and Alan watched this sporadically for a few weekends. At least it ate up a few of those Sundays lol.

2) I could do without them following around the outcast group of people. It seemed like it rehashed a worse version of the Breakfast Club. The 80s already did the rebel outcast genre. I don't know why they tried to reinvent the wheel here.

3) The geeks were all kinda tight. Almost seemed like they musta been geeks in real life too to play it that well. Although I will say, what on god's green earth was the main character thinking when he broke up with Cindy? I mean, HELLO MCFLY, what are the odds he's ever gonna have a girlfriend again? Is his beef really that she just wants to gii and not watch his goofy movies? smh.

4) And what was going on with the ending? The show really ends when the girl goes to academic camp but ends up going concert hopping all summer? Is that supposed to be symbolism or something? What happened to the rest of the characters? Did that one guy keep playing dungeons and dragons? Too many questions.

Good if you're bored, but don't pull out tha wallet for this one

The Call

1) For how goofy the movie poster for this one is, it was pretty okay. I mean, what's going on with the all red poster? And I'll bet a lot of 911 calls are personal LOL.

2) For how solid of a 911 operator she is, you think she'd be trained not to go out and do maverick detective work. All the police in Los Angeles and someone who sits behind a desk all day manages to figure out where this killer guy is hiding?

3) And really she's got better odds of winning the lottery then randomly getting this guy's new victim to call in again. I mean, a 911 operator takes a phone call in LOS ANGELES. Then, it freaks her out so much that she goes on admin duty for awhile. THEN she's doing a random training one day and manages to get the hear a caller who is getting stalked by the same killer. What are the odds of that? (As a side note, I've been calling into a lot of radio contests lately and never manage to be the 95th caller. Maybe I'm just in the bitter barn lol.)

4) And what was going on with the ending? They finally track this guy down and then just leave him in this underground home he has? I don't think they even really injure him. They just tie him down in his own little unfinished basement and leave. What justice smh.

All that and the movie was still pretty original and kept my attention.

Chris Weidman: My Last Hope

Alright bw, I try not to veer off tha movie theme too much, but I gotta get this off my chest.

Chris Weidman is my last hope at UFC glory for the immediate future.

For those of you familiar with buffalo, my favorite fighters, in no particular order, were/are Chuck Liddell, Matt Hughes, Frank Mir, and Dan Henderson. As you might note, most of these fighters are in their late 30s, retired, or keep getting knocked unconscious.

Matt Hughes. He had such a good run going. He choked out Ricardo with a wrestling move, beat that n00b Gracie, and shut up Matt Serra. Then he got knocked out by BJ Penn and Koscheck and subsequently retired :(

Chuck Liddell. My oldest fave fighter, he was fighting Shogun for a shot at the belt and then got knocked out. He came back in the best shape of his life, broke Rich Franklin's arm, and then managed to get knocked out into retirement.

Frank Mir. He still has some gas in the tank, but after losing a title shot to JDS and then losing to Cormier, he won't be getting a shot at the belt any time soon.

Dan Henderson. Man, Hendo knocked out Fedor, Cavalcante, and put a whooping on Shogun, only to lose two heartbreaking split decisions that probably eliminate any chance of him getting a shot at the belt.

Chris Weidman. Buff's last shot at greatness. In the last two years of my life, Hendo and Mir have both lost twice, and my other two favorites are retired. As Eminem would say, "Success is my only m***f*** option, failure's not." Although Weidman is only 29, and will obvi comeback from this fight if he loses, that would blow. Buff's string of bad luck has run out. Weidman has the chin, wrestling, and submissions to take the belt tonight. The GOAT's time has come. WELCOME TO THE WEIDMAN ERA.
