Saturday's Video of Saturday

Here is our weekly funny video post.  Let's see what we got for you guys:

Set up:  This is a clip from the show Community.  Watch it, then I will explain, however, watch in the background at the end, it's important:

Summary:  Yup, on the third "Beetlejuice", a guy dressed like Beetlejuice walks by in the background.  The great thing about this joke is that it took place over several seasons.  That's right, the writers actually set up a joke several seasons before the payoff, and it only works if you just happened to notice the guy in the background, which many people didn't.

Super Bowl XLIX Predictions

It's Super Bowl Time!!  So, you know what that means, Brainfart is going to look into the future and give you the outcome of this game:

Sambo's Pick - I'll put it this way - I want Seattle to win, but I feel like New England will prevail.  Why?  Because they will be super pissed off about people constantly talking about their balls.  If the national media was constantly talking about my balls, I would be itching to kick some ass.  However, I'm still going to pick Seattle.  Why?  Because fuck the Patriots and their cheating asses!  I'm pretty sure I would find Tom Brady cool (in that Justin Timberlake kind of way, where he's super talented and bangs hot chicks, but I would still love to hang out and play a round of golf with him), but Bill Belichick ruined Brady for everyone.  Bill is such a cheating dick that Brady is a cheating dick by association.  And since both of those cheating dicks are Patriots, I am picking Seattle.

Seattle 29 - New England 24

Alex's Pick - I don't really have a strong feeling either way in this game...except for one man whom I love more than all the rest - GRONK!  This guy is amazing.  He may be the most beastly, skilled, un-guardable player in the NFL, but he thinks and acts like a 15 year old.  He acts like Brady is his idol saying "If Tom Brady believes I can do it, then I believe."  He was asked about a fan fiction erotica book where he spikes a football in a girl's buttcheeks.   On cue he said that if someone wants me to do that, I think it's cool.  He was also asked why there was so much interest in him going out and partying to which he replied "Uh, cuz I'm a baller?"  After a game, he was asked about his lineman and he said they deserve to get laid and "They played a great job."  Perfect!  This could be the best player in the Super Bowl!

Gronk 31  - Seattle 24

Top/Bottom 5 - Matthew McConaughey

Here is where I pick a random actor or actress's Top 5 and Bottom 5 Movie Roles (I assume the post title gave that away).  This won't necessarily be the chosen actor or actress's best roles, but a combination of their best and my favorite.  In other words, if there is a tie, I'll go with my favorite.  Also, I won't actually be ranking them, they will be in a random order.  Lastly, this isn't these actor's or actress's best movies, but their best characters.  Let's get started:

Matthew McConaughey

Top 5

Wooderson, Dazed and Confused - I don't care that Matt (we're cool like that) has gone on to win an Oscar, this is and always will be his best movie character.  Alright, alright, alright?
Jack Brigance, A Time to Kill - I think I liked this role so much because of his previous role.  He was actually convincing as a lawyer, which is tough to do when all anyone knew him for was Wooderson at that point in his career.
Rick Peck, Tropic Thunder - Owen Wilson was supposed to play this part but dropped out and Ben Stiller somehow convinced Matt to do it.  And you know what?  He nailed it.
Mark Hanna, The Wolf of Wall Street - A very small part, but he easily overshadowed Leo when on the screen and that says something.
Denton Van Zan, Reign of Fire - Everything about this movie was crap even if it did star Christian Bale, but Matt's role was great.  A crazy person who hunts dragons in a tank while wielding a giant ax.  Awesome in my book.

Bottom 5

Palmer Joss, Contact - If I ever wrote a book, my main character would be named Palmer, which pisses me off now that I know a character named Palmer was in this long, boring piece of garbage.
Steve Edison, The Wedding Planner - Anything Jennifer Lopez is in automatically makes the Bottom 5.  Every.  Single.  Time.
Steven Bedalia, Tiptoes - Have you every heard of this movie?  Look it up.  It's about a family of little people and Matt plays the only person in the family who is not little.  It's fucking crazy terrible.  Gary Oldman, a non-little person, plays a little person.  What?!?
Dirk Pitt, Sahara - I'm going to admit to having read every Dirk Pitt novel and Matt couldn't be any further from that character.  Whoever cast this movie had obviously never picked up any of the books.
Conner Mead, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - There were plenty of crappy rom-coms I could have picked here, but I picked this one because the name Conner Mead sounds so stupid.

Who Is This? Part 36

Super easy one.  Oh wait, just the opposite.  Super hard one (hehe).  I'll give you a hint to help you out.  He is actually from Africa and only acted in one movie in his career.  Got it?  Of course not, you're an idiot.  How about this hint?  The one movie he acted in, he wore an alien costume.  Yup, that's Bolaji Badejo, or the guy who played the original alien in Alien.  He was cast because he is really tall and really skinny, as you can see below.

So, what is up to know?  Fuck if I know.  Oh wait, he passed away in 1992.

Where Are They Now? Part 3

Basically, this will be a new post where I take a popular TV show that is no longer on the air and see how said show's cast is doing these days.  Enjoy:

The Cast of Full House

• Bob Saget (Danny Tanner) - First off, have you ever seen this guy perform stand-up comedy?  He might be the filthiest comic ever, and he somehow landed the role of straight-lace dad on a sitcom.  How?  As for what he's up to now?  Other than a cameo on Entourage and doing the voice-overs on How I Met Your Mother, he really hasn't done anything of note in the past 20 years.
• John Stamos (Uncle Jesse) - Come on, it's John Stamos, he's handsome, he can do whatever he wants (and that includes the ladies).
• Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey) - I can honestly say that outside of Bob Saget's Comedy Central Roast, I haven't seen Dave Coulier since Full House went off the air.  I guess he's still alive because his IMDB page says he's done a lot of stuff I've never heard of, most of which is voice work.
• Candace Cameron (D.J. Tanner) - A lot of TV movies, and that's about it.
• Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) - After the show, she did very little acting for a decade and a half.  When she did go back to acting, she didn't do anything you or I have ever seen and it looks like it's going to stay that way.
• Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen (Michelle Tanner) - Getting filthy rich somehow.
• Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler) - Absolutely nothing.  She apparently did a "short" with Dave Coulier a few years ago and is set to be in the Full House "Revival" this year.  Yup, Full House is coming back.

NOKW - TMNT 2

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series where I point out things in a movie I can tolerate and then one thing I just couldn't (if you want, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2

Basic Plot:  The sequel to everyone's favorite martial art using teenage amphibians.  This time they fight the Shredder and his evil clan again, along with two other mutants.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that this is a movie about giant turtles who can kick all sorts of ass while going through puberty, so we are just going to skip this part and jump into the next bit of this post.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that when a fight between four giant turtles and two other mutants break out in the middle of a Vanilla Ice concert, no one freaks out and runs for the exits.  Seriously, if you saw a bunch of giant monsters crash into the building you just happen to be in, I'm fairly certain your first instinct would be "Run!".  They may have been high and/or drunk which inhibits people's decision-making abilities, but that doesn't mean you stick around when monsters are a few feet away attempting to kill each other.  And to top it off, Vanilla Ice not only didn't run, he started the concert back up so the turtles and other monsters could fight to a beat.  I am not okay with that.

"The fact that I still don't know what the one in the middle is supposed to be.  A dog?  Werewolf?  What?"

Stupid State Laws - Hawaii 3

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Hawaii

"Men from the Orakama tribe are not permitted to eat their second wife."

Now hold on just a minute.  You can EAT your first wife if you are part of the Orakama tribe?  Holy fuck, that's insane.  But it's just as insane that they made it illegal for them to EAT their second wife.  However, is it possible that some lawmaker though that "eat" meant something more....perverted?  That would make this law make a lot more sense, but at the same time, kind of make husbands selfish in the bedroom, if you know what I'm saying.  If this law has nothing to do with munching the muff, then Hawaii really has some weird priorities when it comes to marriage.

"Alright, rookie, the plan is easy.  We wait until he eats his first wife, remarries, attempts to eat his second wife, and then we bust his ass."
"Sarge......uh......sigh......great plan.  Wait, is he even part of the Orakama tribe?"
"Good question.  We'll go with yes."

Saturday's Video of Saturday

Here is our weekly funny video post.  Let's see what we got for you guys:

Set up:  Here is NBA player (and former Clemson Tiger) K.J. McDaniels blocking a shot:

Summary:  Now, what was so impressive about that block?  Nothing at first, but what if I told you that he hit a fan in the head so hard that they suffered a concussion.  Pretty impressive now, isn't it?

Even More Celebrity Heights

Awhile back I wrote a couple of posts about some celebrities and their surprising heights (click here, here, or here).  Well, I found some more interesting ones, let's see what I got:

• Judy Garland (4'11) - Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz may be famous for that iconic role, but I doubt she would have been able to ride any roller-coasters in her day.  Then again, those things were death traps back then and anybody could probably ride them.
• Nicole Richie (5'0) - I'm still not sure why she is "famous".  At least, it's not because she made a sex tape.
• Dolly Parton (5'0) - Do you think Dolly is taller from head-to-toe or from back-to-nipple?
• Kristen Bell (5'1) - I always assumed Veronica Mars was short, but not this short.  She's married to Dax Shepard, that guy who used to punk people for Ashton Kutcher, who is 6'3.  Think about that.  Now, get your mind out of the gutter, pervert.
• Christina Ricci (5'1) - Apparently, Wednesday Addams forgot to keep growing.
• Ellen Page (5'1) - They don't call her "The Little Canadian" for nothing.
• Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen (5'1 and 5'2) - Does it piss you off that these two are worth $300 million?  Also, if they are identical twins, how is one taller than the other?

"Twins?  Or aliens?  Tough call."

Random Movie Trivia - The Dark Knight Part 1

Here is the next edition in our weekly Random Movie Trivia post.  Enjoy:

The Dark Knight Part 1

• Takes place roughly nine months after Batman Begins ended.
• In preparation for his role as The Joker, Heath Ledger hid away in a motel room for about six weeks. During this extended stay of seclusion, Ledger delved deep into the psychology of the character. He devoted himself to developing The Joker's every tic, namely the voice and that sadistic-sounding laugh (for the voice, Ledger's goal was to create a tone that didn't echo the work Jack Nicholson did in his 1989 performance as the Joker). Ledger's interpretation of The Joker's appearance was primarily based on the chaotic, disheveled look of punk rocker Sid Vicious combined with the psychotic mannerisms of Malcolm McDowell's character, Alex De Large, from A Clockwork Orange.
• During the scene where the Joker crashes Bruce Wayne's party for Harvey, when he first appears in the elevator Alfred was meant to have some lines, however this was the first time Michael Caine had seen Heath Ledger with the Joker make up on, you can even see the shocked expression on his face as the Joker walks past him.
• In the early minutes of each film in the trilogy the main villain (Ra's Al Guhl, Joker, Bane) disguises himself as one of his own henchmen and there is a conversation about said villain in each scene.
• The first comic book movie to ever win an Oscar for achievement in acting (Heath Ledger).
• While the movie was filming a chase scene on Lake Street, the Chicago Police Department received several calls from concerned citizens stating that the police were involved in a vehicle pursuit with a dark vehicle of unknown make or model.
• Made more money than Batman Begins's entire domestic run in only 6 days of release.
• Whilst filming in Chicago, Wanted was the neighboring production, and Morgan Freeman worked concurrently on both films.
• Paul Bettany, Lachy Hulme, Adrien Brody, Steve Carell, and Robin Williams all publicly expressed interest in playing the Joker, little knowing that Christopher Nolan always had Heath Ledger in mind.
• The first Batman movie that does not feature Bruce Wayne's mansion, although it is mentioned.
• Even though Christopher Nolan offered her the part, Katie Holmes decided not to reprise her role as Rachel Dawes. Instead, she opted to co-star with Diane Keaton andQueen Latifah in Mad Money (2008) that same year. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Isla Fisher, Emily Blunt, and Rachel McAdams were all considered for the role before Maggie Gyllenhaal stepped in.

Who Is This? Part 35

Alright, I know without a doubt that you know who that is.  NO?!  What the hell, man (or lady, can't forget them)!  Would a crappy hint help?  Of course it will.  She has only done one thing that you have probably heard of.  I know, I know, I did say it was going to be a crappy hint.  I'll give you the real one now.  She was the title star of a show about an orphaned girl who could be described as "Punky".  Yup, that's Soleil Moon Frye, or as you know her, Punky Brewster.  She grew up to be a nice looking woman even if she doesn't look anything like you remember her.

So, what has she been up to lately?  Believe it or not, but she has been working steadily since Punky Brewster left the air.  She does a lot of voice work, especially on something called Bratz.  Also, she was on 66 episodes of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.

Great Directors, Weird Movies

Here is a fun list of movies directed by famous directors that make no sense based on the rest of their work.  Trust me, it will be fun:

Francis Ford Coppola

Known For:  The Godfather movies, Apocalypse Now

Weird Movie:  Jack

-Nick Cage's uncle has made some of the greatest movies ever.  But he also made Jack, that movie where Robin Williams ages four times faster than a normal person.  It wasn't good and might have the most depressing ending when you think about it.  Robin is still friends with his childhood buddies, but he is definitely going to die before they even graduate college.  Sad, isn't it?

David Fincher

Known For:  Fight Club, Se7en, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Weird Movie:  The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

-David has made some really solid movies, but Benjamin Button is such a weird movie compared to his other work.  I'm going to admit I've never seen it, but it looked nothing like Fight Club other than starring Brad Pitt.

Sam Raimi

Known For:  Spider-Man movies, Evil Dead, Army of Darkness

Weird Movie:  For the Love of the Game

-This guy started out doing purposely bad horror movies, but everyone loved them.  Later, he made the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies.  But in between, he made a romantic baseball movie starring Kevin Costner.  Now, I will admit that I really like For the Love of the Game, but it is the complete opposite of what this guy is known for.

Peter Jackson

Known For:  The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Hobbit movies

Weird Movie:  The Lovely Bones

-Have you ever seen The Lovely Bones?  I haven't, but I do know there are exactly zero hobbits, wizards, elves, dwarfs, or orcs.  None.  Sure, maybe Jackson was trying to branch out, but it is still a really random movie for him to direct.

Tim Burton

Known For:  Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Batman, Anything Johnny Depp has been in recently

Weird Movie:  Pee Wee's Big Adventure

-Seriously, go watch Pee Wee's Big Adventure again and you will totally notice the little things that seem to be Tim Burton's trademarks.  This isn't so much a weird movie on Burton's resume as it is shocking when you realize he made it.

Today's Celebrity Birthdays - Jan. 19th

I decided to start up a new post where I list the "celebrities" that were born on this day and then either praise them or mock them.  It will be fun, so let's do this:

• Katey Segal (61) - Who?  She was Peg Bundy, the voice of Leela on Futurama, and currently stars in Sons of Anarchy.  That's who.
• Logan Lerman (23) - This is the guy who played Percy Jackson is those crappy Harry Potter rip-off movies.  However, I will admit I enjoyed them because of Alexandra Daddario.  Look her up, super hot.
• Jodie Sweetin (33) - Remember Stephanie Tanner?  Yup, she's 33 today.  And guess what?  Apparently, there is a Full House "revival" in the works.  About time.
• Dolly Parton (69) - How do you think she feels that whenever anyone thinks of her, the first thing that comes to mind are her boobs?
• Paula Deen (68) - Everyone's favorite racist is still going strong and still trying to kill her viewers, one artery-clogging dish at a time.
• Drea de Matteo (43) - She played Christopher's girlfriend on The Sopranos and is currently on Sons of Anarchy with Katey Segal.  I've never seen that show, but I heard it's pretty good.
• Edgar Allen Poe (Deceased) - The original goth would have had a birthday today if he hadn't have passed away.  Oh, and was able to live to 205 years old.  It's possible, right?

"Stephanie Tanner sure has grown up.  Look at those.....uh.....eyes."

Stupid State Laws - Hawaii 2

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Hawaii

"Coins are not allowed to be placed in one’s ears."

I guess this makes sense, in a "that would kind of hurt someone" kind of way.  But once again, we have a law that sure never have been made and should just be chalked up to common sense.  How many people had to go to the hospital with coin-removing injuries before some idiot decided to make a law outlawing coins being placed in someone's ear?  I can only assume it was at least a hundred.  And if it was that many, don't you think it would have been easier to just arrest the crazy person that was committing this act instead of making a law?  Sure, you couldn't arrest him if that law didn't exist, but you could arrest him for injuring people.  And yes, I'm pretty sure it was just one guy, otherwise Hawaii really has some weird fetish involving coins and ears that I don't want to know about.  Way to go, Hawaii, you would a law that really didn't need to exist in the first place.

"Arrest that man, rookie!"
"Um, I'm pretty sure that's Batman and I'm also pretty sure he will kick my ass if I try."
"Really?  Batman, you say?  Cool.  Instead of arresting him, ask for his autograph."

Saturday's Video of Saturday

Here is our weekly funny video post.  Let's see what we got for you guys:

Set up:  Do you enjoy watching things getting destroyed?  What about really big things?  Good, because this is the video for you:

Summary:  How cool was that?  I've always found it amazing (and slightly disturbing) that with a dozen well placed explosives, you can take down a structure like that.

Lawyers

Question:  If a lawyer knows their client is guilty, and lawyers are supposed to uphold the law, then why do they always seem to do everything they can to prove their client is not guilty?

Am I missing something here?  Is this just a TV/movie attribute of lawyers?  I would say yes, but we all saw the OJ Simpson trial (and I'm not racist, it was just pretty clear he did it).  His lawyers had to know he did it, but they still proved he was "innocent".  I understand that he paid them a lot of money to defend him, but that still doesn't seem right to me if they know he is guilty.

Then again, maybe when a lawyer takes on a client, they tell the guy not to tell them whether or not they are guilty.  Instead, they just listen to their side of the story and work things out from there.  On the other hand, if their client tells their story which invokes their guilt and the lawyer still tries to get them proven innocent, that seems wrong to me.

And what about lawyers who get their clients off on a technicality, like improper handling of evidence.  But at the same time, the rest of the evidence clearly proves the guy was guilty, how does that make any sense?  The guy was guilty and yet he gets off because of some stupid loophole?  What?!?

Basically, I'm just trying to point out that our legal system might be broken.  It could be worse, at least we don't work like the legal system in Game of Thrones where they allow you or someone on your behalf to battle to death against someone of the court's choosing and if you win, you're off the hook.

"However, I'm perfectly okay with the rule against incompetent lawyers."

Top/Bottom 5 Movie Roles - Al Pacino

Here is where I pick a random actor or actress's Top 5 and Bottom 5 Movie Roles (I assume the post title gave that away).  This won't necessarily be the chosen actor or actress's best roles, but a combination of their best and my favorite.  In other words, if there is a tie, I'll go with my favorite.  Also, I won't actually be ranking them, they will be in a random order.  Lastly, this isn't these actor's or actress's best movies, but their best characters.  Let's get started:

Al Pacino

Top 5

Michael Corleone, The Godfather 1 and 2 - This is a list of the best Al Pacino characters, of course Michael Corleone is on it.
Tony Montana, Scarface - This movie is right up there with Dazed and Confused for best movie drinking games.  Every time he says "Fuck" or does cocaine, you drink.  Usually, you don't make it past the first hour before passing out.
Lt. Vincent Hanna, Heat - Great movie, great role.  Although, I honestly don't know if I've ever watched this movie from beginning to end, I still love it.
Tony D'Amato, Any Given Sunday - I still think this is an underrated movie and Pacino nailed his part.  Just watch the locker room speech before the big game and tell me you aren't pumped enough to kick someone's ass in any sport.  I dare you.
Big Boy Caprice, Dick Tracy - I included this role because unless you knew it was Al under all that makeup, you never would have guessed it was him.  On top of the fact that he was really good in this role.

Bottom 5

John Milton, The Devil's Advocate - Everything about this movie was dumb....except getting to see Charlize Theron naked.  That was pretty awesome.
Starkman, Gigli - This is considered one of the worst movies ever made (I blame Jennifer Lopez, but I blame her for a lot of things wrong with this world), so just by association, Pacino's role sucked too.
Jack Graham, 88 Minutes - Watch this movie and then tell me what it was about.  I dare you, because it's impossible
Himself, Jack and Jill - Never saw it, never will, but even if this was Pacino's best acting job ever, it would still end up on the wrong end of this list.
Michael Corleone, The Godfather 3 - Can we all pretend this movie never happened?

Hotter Sports Sideline Reporter?

Erin Andrews v. Samantha Ponder

First up, we have Erin Andrews.  She used to work for ESPN until she got a bigger contract from FOX.  She certainly has a classic beauty about her.  Great smile, nice eyes, very natural looking, and we've seen her naked (look it up).  Definitely a hot lady and I was a much bigger fan of hers before she went to FOX, where we rarely see her anymore.  But that may have more to do with the fact that she doesn't cover college football as much anymore, and I watch college ball way more than pro ball.

And then we have Erin's replacement at ESPN, Samantha Ponder.  Super cute, easy smile, beautiful eyes, but no naked pictures that I know of.  I would say her only flaw is that she seems to think she has to dye her hair blond for some reason.  Go natural, there's nothing wrong with a hot brunette.

Verdict:  Tough call.  But I'm going Samantha because I like the cute "girl next door" look better.  Maybe it's just me, but I would pick those dimples over Erin's hot body any day.

Who Is This? Part 34

Alright, whadda ya got?  I'll make it easy on ya and give you an awesome hint.  The only movie he has been in that you know of, he played baseball.  Great hint, right?  You disagree?  Well, screw you, I thought it was great, but I'll give you another one just to make you feel better.  In that movie I mentioned, he played baseball and then was caught in the parking lot by Ben Affleck and his friends and got paddled.  Yup, that's Wiley Wiggins, aka Mitch Kramer from Dazed and Confused.  You see it now, don't you?  The glasses threw you for a loop, but that's definitely him under there.

So, what is he up to now?  Well, in the past 20 years, he has been in nine movies and only one of them I have heard of (The Faculty) in which he played "F'%# Up #2".  That makes me believe he has not been doing too well in his acting career.  I guess that means he is living off of Dazed and Confused royalties, which can't be all that bad.

College Football Championship Prediction

The 1st College Football Playoff Championship Game will be played tonight.  Well, that's not true.  Every level of college football but the best one has had a championship for years, so technically this is like the 100th College Football Playoff Championship Game (I did zero research on that number, but it sounds correct).  Anyways, here are our predictions:

Sambo

-The funniest thing about the new playoff system is that if the BCS still existed, the championship would have most likely been between Florida State and Alabama.  In other words, Suck It, SEC!!  As for my prediction for this game, I picked Oregon to win the whole thing before the season, so I'm sticking with my guns.  Also, my original playoff teams were Oregon, Florida State, Alabama, and Ohio State, but the day before that post went up, I changed Alabama to Auburn because I thought Lane Kiffin would poison the team and Ohio State to Oklahoma because the Buckeyes lost their starting quarterback to a season-ending injury.  Who knew that Kiffin would actually be good and that Ohio State's backup QB would finish 4th in the Heisman voting.  So close.

Oregon 45, Ohio State 42

Alex

-I do not like Ohio State.  I do not like the Big 10.  I do, however, think Ohio State will win this game.  OSU will be one of the better defenses that Oregon has faced all year.  They won't shut down Oregon but they will be able to alter what Oregon does best.  If they can force a mistake out of Mariota or slow the Duck's offense, OSU can outscore Oregon.  The other seemingly secret thing in this game is Oregon's defense.  They have been decent but when FSU has 5 turnovers and you still give up 20 points something is wrong.  Ohio State also has the mojo on their side.  They are the underdog and all they have heard for over a month is how they aren't good enough to win a championship.  OSU will play big with a huge chip on their shoulders.  Plus it appears that the OSU QB has a laser rocket arm.

Ohio State 41, Oregon 38

"FOOTBAWWWWWWWWLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

Stupid State Laws - Hawaii

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Hawaii

"No child can be given the name “Charles”."

Okay.....well......ummm......WHAT?!?  Why in the fuck not?  Sure, I could see why maybe the original inhabitants of the island would want to have more traditional names for their kids, but what about the rest of the residents of Hawaii?  Do they not get a say in naming their children?  And why only "Charles"?  This makes no sense.  Damn Hawaii, you have baffled me on the first stupid law we have covered, so I can only assume there is more stupidity to come.

"Look at that smug bastard, rookie.  He is in for a world of hurt!"
"Sarge, I think his name is Charlie."
"Rookie?"
"Yes."
"How many damn times do I have to remind you to leave the thinking to me?"
Sorry, Sarge."

Saturday's Video of Saturday

Here is our weekly funny video post.  Let's see what we got for you guys:

Set up:  In honor of the trailer for the new Star Wars movie coming out last month, here is a little video that I found funny:

Summary:  Anything involving Weird Al is always gold in my book.  Plus, you have to love seeing Reggie Watts dressed as R2-D2.

Movie Trailer Review - Taken 3

This is not a review of the trailer, but a review of this movie based entirely on this movie's trailer.  I have a special talent of being able to figure out whether a movie will be any good based just on the trailer and I'm finally putting that talent to good use.  Screw you, it's a real talent.

Taken 3

I saw the first Taken and didn't think it was, well, worthy of not one, but two sequels.  On top of that, Liam Neeson has killed an entire country's worth of people, how many enemies could he possibly have left by now?  Also, his teenage daughter is played by Maggie Grace.  Do you know how old she really is?  31 years old.  31!  She's a teenager twice over by now.  For some reason, that really irks me.

As for the trailer, it looks like another Taken movie except this time they kill his wife and frame him for the murder.  Who are they?  Who cares.  You kill Famke Janssen and I'm not going to see your movie.  Oh, and if you think a 31 year old playing a teenager is ridiculous, do you know how old Liam Neeson is?  62 years old.  62!  They are trying to make us believe that a 62 year old dude can beat up everyone he comes across.  Come on.  I don't care how good Liam looks for his age, that is just stupid.  So, should you go see this thing?  Not unless you are really really really bored and have money burning a hole in your pocket.

Estimated Opening Weekend Box Office Gross - $40 million

What Kind of Fart This Movie Will Resemble:

The Did An Angel Speak Fart - This is any loud fart in church. This fart was first called to my attention by my father. He probably read about it somewhere. For fart watchers who go to church, this is a good one to watch for as this is the only place it can be found.

Random Movie Trivia - Independence Day

Here is the next edition in our weekly Random Movie Trivia post.  Enjoy:

Independence Day

• The President's speech was filmed on 6 August 1995 in front of an old airplane hangar. The hangar once housed the Enola Gay, which dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima exactly 50 years earlier on 6 August 1945.
• Roland Emmerich admitted that during the movie's premiere at the White House, he gave his seat next to President Bill Clinton to Bill Pullman, fearing Clinton's reaction to the on-screen destruction of the White House.
• The film was banned in Lebanon under pressure from Hezbollah, because it included scenes where Israeli and Iraqi soldiers joined forces.
• Jeff Goldblum uses one of his lines from Jurassic Park in this film: "Must go faster, must go faster!"
• Shot in 72 days, an unusually short period of time for such a big blockbuster.
• The character of President Whitmore was originally intended to be a Richard Nixon-like figure. The role was originally written for Kevin Spacey, co-writer Dean Devlin's friend from high school. An executive at Fox refused to cast Spacey, insisting he didn't have the potential to be a big star. The part was re-written and Bill Pullman was then cast in the role.
• Producer Dean Devlin said that well over half of the dialogue in the scenes Jeff Goldblum shared with Judd Hirsch and Will Smith was improvised.
• Director Roland Emmerich was notified one day that Robert Loggia was very upset and refusing to leave his trailer. Days earlier, producer Dean Devlin accidentally suggested to Loggia that he watch Airplane! (1980) for inspiration when he actually intended to suggest Airport (1970). Not familiar with either film, Loggia rented Airplane! and after watching it thought that he had unknowingly been participating in the production of a "spoof" movie.
• Matthew Perry was originally offered the role of Captain Jimmy "Raven" Wilder but pulled out at the last minute.
• Originally Russell Casse (Randy Quaid) flew his crop duster in the final battle, because the military had rejected him as a pilot. He appeared with a missile attached to the crop duster, then flew the crop duster into the alien ship. But when it was screened to test audiences, they felt it was too comedic, so they re-filmed the scene.

Who Is This? Part 33

Alright, whadda ya got?  Something, anything?  No!  Okay, a hint then.  You would never guess who her dad is.  Good hint?  Of course not, I never give you a good first hint.  Ha!  Here's the real one.  She's now considered one of the sexiest women alive and stole her husband away from America's sweetheart, oh and she's an actress and her dad is Jon Voight.  Yup, that's little Angelina Jolie.  Guess what, I just learned her full name is actually Angelina Jolie Voight.  I feel like that is kind of obvious, but somehow I didn't know that.  Also, I have never seen her sex appeal, unless you are into that whole "crazy hot chick" thing, than sure, but not me.

So, what is she up to now?  Well, she just directed some movie I'll never see and she has Kung Fu Panda 3 and Salt 2 in production.  Oh, and she's still banging Brad Pitt.  In other words, she's doing just fine.

Where Are They Now? Part 2

Basically, this will be a new post where I take a popular TV show that is no longer on the air and see how said show's cast is doing these days.  Enjoy:

The Cast of The O.C.

• Ben McKenzie (Ryan Atwood) - Ben has probably done the best out of anyone else in this cast.  He did four years on some show called Southland that I never saw, but did see plenty of commercials for.  Now, he is playing Jim Gordon on the Batman origin TV show Gotham.
• Mischa Barton (Marissa Cooper) - Mischa pretty much dropped off the map after her character was killed on The O.C.  (oh yeah, spoiler alert).  However, she has nine movies set to come out in the next year, but it looks like a bunch of B-movie garbage.  For example, she's starring in something called Zombie Killers: Elephant's Graveyard with Billy Zane.  That should pretty much wrap up her career as of right now.
• Adam Brody (Seth Cohen) - Adam played my favorite character on the show (and yes, I actually did watch this thing for some reason), but sadly, he really hasn't done much since it went off the air.  I don't know why he hasn't gotten any bigger roles, he seems stuck playing bit parts right now on a lot of stuff I've never heard of.  Such a waste.
• Rachel Bilson (Summer Roberts) - After the show ended, she starred in a couple of crappy movies like Jumper.  More recently, she is in her fourth season of something called Hart of Dixie, so I assume she is doing just fine.
• Peter Gallagher (Sandy Cohen) - The patriarch of the Cohen family has been getting steady work ever since the show ended and is currently doing a show called Covert Affairs that my mom watches.  So, he has that going for him.
• Kelly Rowan (Kristen Cohen) - Sandy's wife and Seth's mom really hasn't done much until recently when she landed a role on another show I know my mom watches called Perception.  Coincidence?  Probably not.
• Melinda Clarke (Julie Cooper) - Marissa's mom has been busy since The O.C. left us, but she has done absolutely nothing I have, nor will ever see.  I consider that a good thing because I hated her character on the show and refuse to watch anything she is in now.

"I don't care what people thought, Rachel Bilson is way hotter than Mischa Barton and I salute her for that."

Today's Celebrity Birthdays - Jan 5th

I decided to start up a new post where I list the "celebrities" that were born on this day and then either praise them or mock them.  It will be fun, so let's do this:

• Bradley Cooper (40) - Every time I see this guy, I always remember him from Wedding Crashers.  Such a dick in that movie, but it turns out that first impressions are not true.  Pretty cool dude.
• Marilyn Manson (46) - My favorite thing about this guy is that people think he is the nerdy kid from The Wonder Years.  Nope, but I can see why people think that though.
• January Jones (37) - She plays Don Drapper's wife on Mad Men and played Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class.  She's easy on the eyes, but not a particularly good actress.
• Diane Keaton (69) - Remember when she was in classics like The Godfather and Annie Hall?  Yup, over the past decade she has made us forget all about those years with movies like Something's Gotta Give and The Family Stone.  What happened?
• Robert Duvall (84) - Another Godfather alum but this one is still giving us good work.  He recently starred opposite Iron Man in The Judge.  Didn't see it, but heard good things.
• Vinnie Jones (50) - Love this guy.  He hasn't done much worth a shit recently, but did you know his first three movies were Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Gone in Sixty Seconds, and Snatch?  That's pretty damn solid.
• Kristin Cavallari (28) - I'm never seen The Hills, but if I did, she would have been my favorite.  Why?  Easy question, she was the hottest.
• Oscar Isaac (35) - I can honestly say that I have never seen anything he has been in that I know of, but I still know who he is for some reason.  The good news is that he will be in the Star Wars movie, so that streak will end soon.
• George Reeves (Deceased) - The original Superman suffered a similar fate as Christopher Reeves, except George died via a bullet.  Does this mean Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill are doomed, too?

Stupid State Laws - Georgia 16

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Jonesboro, Georgia

"It is illegal to say 'Oh, Boy'."

Oh, Boy!  This is a good one.  I want you to think of the last time that you said "Oh, Boy" and it offended someone.  You can't, can you?  That's because there is absolutely no reason that saying "Oh, Boy" should be a bad thing.  The only reason to say it is if something good happened.  However, I did just think of two reasons it might be considered bad.....wait, make that three.  1)  A redneck is referring to a black guy.  2)  Some redneck is about rape an unsuspecting guy in the woods.  And 3)  A redneck was happy that his fat girlfriend just had another little boy and not a little girl.  Only those first two might, a big might, be offensive enough to make the saying illegal, but even then, this law is just stupid.

"Rookie, he said 'Oh', now we wait until he says 'Boy' and we can arrest this punk!"
"Sarge, I'm pretty sure the law says the offender has to say 'Oh' and 'Boy' back-to-back."
"Interesting interpretation, but I disagree.  Oh Boy, he said 'Boy', let's mace this bastard!"
"Ah, Sarge."

Saturday's Video of Saturday

Brainfart's Crush of the Month - January

At the beginning of every month, we here at Brainfart will be bringing you our Brainfart Crush of the Month!  Sometimes it will be someone you have heard of, sometimes it will be just a random hottie you may have seen before, and sometimes it might be my neighbor.  Who knows!  Let's see who we picked this month:

This is Danielle Panabaker.  She currently plays Caitlin Snow on The Flash and you've probably seen her in various things over the years.  While she may look really young, she's actually 27 years old and still totally hot.  Does that make me creepy?  Maybe, but I don't care, I'm into that "Girl Next Door" look she puts off no matter how old she looks.  Wait, I take that back.  I meant I don't care how old she looks as long as she looks old enough.  You know what, just disregard everything I just said and please don't report me to the local authorities.  In any case, congrats Danielle on this incredible honor.

Happy Boobs Year

"Happy Boobs Year, Everybody!"
