Watched John Wick: Chapter 2 the other night-

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4425200/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Not as good as the first. More forced, bad dialogue, even worse Ruby Rose character (thank god she's mute). Action is second to none though. Just great fight choreo altogether.

Also, saw King Arthur with my son a couple of weeks back-

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1972591/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Seriously loved this and don't know why it hasn't been met with more love elsewhere. Having a story like this told by Guy Ritchie in classic snatch/lock stock style is great. I really hope the rest of films get the green light. Also, if you haven't heard it get onto the podcast Ritchie did with Rogan. I mean, I know Guy is a smart uh...guy, but he's next level when it comes to some of his history and archetypes and stuff. Well worth the investment.

I remember enjoying John Wick 1.. Saw 2 on Wednesday & didn't finish it :/ Good action but like you said, forced & weak dialogue. I got bored.

Oh, if they did a "The Equalizer" sequel i'd be interested.. Denzel.



On that note, I re-watched "Bourne Ultimatum" today... I forgot how good that was. It's hard to find a sequel that's better than the original IMHO.. For example:

Mission Impossible 1 (of the remakes with Tom Cruise) - man that was epic.. None of the others came close to the original.
Point Break - All copies of the sequel should be burned. The original is a "cult classic".
Predator - Some of the sequels were ok, but nothing like the original.

But then you have Bourne & Bourne Ultimatum .. Another one that comes to mind is Die Hard & Die Hard 3 with Jeremy Irons & Samuel Jackson. Actually Bad Boys 2 was pretty good also. I'm just naming some action movies that came to the top of my head.


I wanted to watch both Point Break & Mission Impossible 1 the other day.

There's some movies I can just watch all of the time:
- Heat
- Point Break
- Fight Club
- Mission Impossible
- Predator
- Crimson Tide
- Deja Vu
- Die Hard
- Die Hard 3
- The Departed
- Above The Rim
- Training Day
- Minority Report
- Se7en
- Rounders

dno just a few off the top of my head that I don't think i've ever gotten bored with. I left out tons of really good movies, but even with some great movies I left out, I can't watch them all the time.

I just got back yesterday, I was looking for the replay couldn't find but ran into the results FML EVEN MORE. Those damn news sites that like to pop up to show recent news of that fight. fuk them. It read "Ward stops kovalev in 8" so i was like fuck it and looked on video sites.

The videos below unavailable but found a full fight video.

Good start, kovalev was controlling the fight better, ward got in those moments but kovalev was controlling with his jab in the last round that beastly right hard i think from ward with kovalev coming in really hurt him. btw i found a video with sky sports as broadcaster which malignaggi as the commentator.

Malignaggi was saying all the shots that ward hit was low. on boxing short you have 2 areas, the belt, white stripe across the top of the shorts and the area below it. Ward was hitting some on that white area and others it was below and kovalev is just so unprofessional. When he got hit with the first low blow he leant forward and ref saw this low blow and gave him time and everytime ward hit him in that area he would lean forward and risk getting hit, everytime he leans forward to indiicate he got hurt even though the ref didn't see. The last seconds of the stoppage, true he got hit with a power shot and andre ward just attacking low on the belt and below (the belt being the white band top of the shorts) and kovalev just stayed leant forward as ward just getting those shots in and then the stupidest thing happens is the ref moves ward away and just stops the fight like wtf you doing.

what will happen now to kovalev's career and max kellerman was praising ward and rejecting the notion of the low, even in the replay he hit below the belt and kellerman say's borderline lol it's a conspiracy lol.

As for Kovalev's reaction, it's hard to react voluntarily when you get hit low .. it's like a shockwave through your nervous system. I'm sure Kovalev was wrecked by a few of those low shots. He should have taken a knee then complained, not just stayed on the ropes. His decision to not go down was the bad decision imho, he should have gone way down and then complained like a motherfucker.

True. ye he should have took a knee.

I am seeing alot of people starting to say it was legit. Something is going on.

mass brainwashing.. :/

saw these two tonight:



Pride and Glory:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482572/

surprisingly ruthless.. some crazy dirty cop stuff going on. really good movie.



The Take

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2368619/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Enjoyable.. some of the pickpocket scenes are really cool, especially the one in the bar midway through the movie. Decent story too - lots of "deception going on" at every level (from pick pocketing to terrorism).

The fight scenes really sucked though. They could have done so much better by making them more realistic.. This would have raised the movie up another notch.

Fedor TKO'd

https://streamable.com/jljwo

Crazy fight. Almost a double knockout. Fedor just couldn't recover fast enough.

Disappointed for Fedor as he's pretty much my all time favourite. He's taken so much punishment over the years, especially in all those crazy Pride fights he had. Should have stayed retired.

yeah, epic pride fights. i'll never forget when he survived that tombstone slam on his neck by randleman.. I doubt anyone forgets that. Unreal fight to watch live. Pride had the best "production".

He should have fought more in his prime though, after pride. If he did, he wouldn't really need to be fighting now. I mean maybe he just enjoys it but.. he was a legit threat at the top of the HW division in UFC, if he would have started fighting soon after Pride was bought out.. he took way too much time before fighting again, then had a bunch of rough fights in strike force.

interesting to see how his career turned out.. i wonder if he doubted himself or something? I don't get it. He was a "god" in MMA. His legacy has definitely been tarnished by so many losses/lack of fights following pride.

MOVIES & ENTERTAINMENT & SHeeT! / Charlie Murphy in Power (season 4)

Quote
Prior to his passing, Charlie Murphy kept his battle with leukemia private, so much so that his peers on the set of Power had no idea he was ill.

Quote
Murphy reportedly only disclosed his battle with cancer to his closest friends and family members as he "didn't want his illness to define him."

Knew he died, but didn't know he was in the latest season of Power. Took a second for me to recognize him, because he was so thin.

damn.. ;/

dude.. i'm in disbelief that people keep saying all of those blows were borderline/fine: most of them were LOW.

most of those were clearly low and devastatingly low at that.. Max even convinced Kovalev to say they were borderline at the end, when Kovalev had previously said (during the same interview) that they were low.

It looks like Ward was on his way to ending Kovalev but god damn he took some low shots to finish that fight.. It seems that everyone just wants to imagine there's complete closure now, by disregarding the fact that Ward hit him low like 4 times to finish that fight. I mean, I don't want to see Kovalev/Ward III so...

Just shocking that people would say those were mostly legal shots.

Insanity.

At least Malignaggi is keeping it real..

As for Kovalev's reaction, it's hard to react voluntarily when you get hit low .. it's like a shockwave through your nervous system. I'm sure Kovalev was wrecked by a few of those low shots.

One of the naturally occurring chemicals found in the fruit accelerates lactic acid removal, allowing better physical performance as the athlete can carry out more intense training and is able to recover faster after each workout, it is said.

i usually feel really good when i'm running, after eating watermelon.. could be something to it.

l-citrulline is found in basically every pre-workout ever too. it's a better version of l-arginine (nitric oxide precursor) 4 teh pumpz brah.

jeah. haven't eaten watermelon + run in a while, miss it. need to get some watermelon ffs.

If any of you have a whole foods nearby, or you see this brand, try it:

"Seeduction Hearth Bread"





I love good bread.. but I rarely post about it. This bread is ridiculous. Or maybe i'm just losing it. I've eaten half of the loaf today and i'm stopping myself from eating the whole loaf.

the best sci-fi movie experience of my life is unquestionably watching 2001: a space odyssey in a restored 70mm print in the beautiful old movie theater where i had my first real job, in high school. they had to expand the screen to show it. if you ever have a chance to watch 2001 in a theater, do it. it's awesome. don't even care what you think of the movie as a movie, the visuals and sound are just incredible.

sick af!!

Kubrick++

I've never seen a Kubrick film in a theatre... That would probably amplify the experience manyfold. Next level perspective.
