American Hustle basically sucked.  Black Mass is the opposite of American Hustle, although the two share a decade, large pompadour hairdos, and strong machismo overacting

Above all – Johnny Depp is terrifying as real-life baddie Whitey Bulger.  And above that – Depp is udderly incredible in the film.  Obviously Depp is an incredible actor, but this may be his best (non-Tim Burton) performance since 1998’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.  I credit two things with this great achievement – the hair and the make-up.  So far, I’m rooting for no horses in the Oscar race, but Depp’s Mass face deserves a gold man, so I guess I’m rooting for that

Depp’s bad hair, bad skin, and cold blue killer eyes will haunt me 9ever

his look is like a combo of this-es…

Johnny S. Thompson Loathing with Fear

meets all the Biff Tannens of BTTFII

meets Flattop of Dick Tracy

meets William Forsythe in general

meets Coppola’s Dracula

meets Electro of Spider-unwatchble-reboot-2

meets Gollum

meets the creepy-eyed lizard aliens of V

Verdictgo: Jeepers MOS DEF Worth A Peepers

Steve Jobs
It’s No Pirates of Silicon Valley

Do you like 3 act plays, endless Aaron Sorkin scripted banter, and not knowing much about Steve Jobs and what he did?  Well then, you will LOVE Danny Boyle‘s Steve Jobs.  The movie does a good jobs… at being a movie, but not necessary at being a Steve Jobs movie.  YES – it’s entertaining, and enthralling, and it makes you nervous and uncomfortable at times.  YES – the acting is excellent (even Seth Rogen wasn’t horrible!!!), the direction is lovely, the design is nice, but this is not the Steve Jobs movie I was expecting, or the one the world should have received

The movie is broken down into three periods of Steve Jobs life – thru three product launches – the Macintosh, the NeXT, and the iMac.  And the movie shows Jobs prepping for these launches in green rooms, with various people from his life popping in and bothering him with things keeping him down or standing is his way – the daughter he disowned, his founding partner he dismisses, his assistant who he dishes endless commands to, and other people who he treats like garbage sauce.  But Jobs, and these people, are kinda turned into one-dimensional characters – the shouter and the people being shouted at

Don’t get me wrong – the shouting and the being shouted at make for a great film, and this is a great-ish film, but for people who don’t really know who Steve Jobs is or what Apple was and what they became because of Jobs – this movie fails to deliver that, and the people need this, for today and the future

Plus, most of what happens in the movie isn’t true or ever happened

Plus, Michael Fassbender looks nothing like Steve Jobs.  He looks like Michael Fassbender

Plus, there was a movie that did what I am asking for it to do – tell the story, the whole story, and included shouting (and no, I’m, not talking about the Ashton Kutcher one, although that one wasn’t awful, in fact, it was pretty good!).  And the guy who plays Steve Jobs looks like Steve Jobs (go Noah Wyle!!!!!!!!!!)  And it was made-for-TV, and made pre-iPod.  And it’s amazing, even with its limited budget, and it includes Bill Gates’ story and awesome 80s glasses, and I love it, LOTS

WATCH PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY!!!!!!!!!!

Bell Biv DeVoe
B.B. King Blues Club & Grill
October 24th

We all make tough decisions in life – like – should I eat more pizza?  should I beatoff less?  should I stop loving the sports teams that tear out my heart season after season?

But the best decisions in life are the easy ones, like – should I go see Bell Biv DeVoe in concert, even if they only play for barely an hour and the only song I really want to hear is ‘Poison’????  (I think you can see where this one’s going)

Bell Biv DeVoe’s ‘Poison’ was like the greatestestestest, mos illestest, mos jamminiest song on the Bar Mitzvah circuit of 1990.  In fact, I won the cassingle at a Bar Mitzvah!!! CASSINGLE!!!!!!!!!!

And that music video, OH that MUSIC VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do them dance moves and hand gestures in my sleep!!!!!!

Sure, BBD had other songs, but really, all they had (beyond their New Edition upbringing) was ‘Poison’.  Poison, p-p-p-p-Poison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course I was going to hear this song sung live in life, at least once!

I mean, ‘Poison’ doesn’t turn 25 years old every year!!!!!!
