Daily random thoughts ranging from movies to sports and to even boobs. We have questions and sometimes we even have answers. Only on Brainfart Thoughts.
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:
Jackie Chan (60) - Wow, he's 60?!? I did not see that coming. I do have some good news, a Rush Hour 4 is in the works. Oh wait, did I say good news? I meant bad news, a Rush Hour 4 is in the works.
Russell Crowe (50) - Am I the only one that feels like Russell hasn't done a good movie in years? The last thing he starred in that I enjoyed was Cinderella Man. He will be playing Noah this summer and I will predict it now, that movie will suck.
James Garner (86) - If you're a chick, then you will remember him from The Notebook. And if you're a dude, then you will remember him from, uhhhh, The Notebook. We all know you watched it and secretly liked it. That Ryan Gosling is dreamy.
Francis Ford Coppola (75) - The director of all two Godfather movies (there never was a third one and you know it!) hasn't done much lately other than produce stuff. Fun fact - did you know he directed the movie Jack? You know, that dumb movie where Robin Williams' character aged really fast. Crazy, right?
Bill Bellamy (49) - This comedian and actor has been seen in things like....well....the only thing I can think of is Any Given Sunday where he played a WR. Do you know who the other WR was on that fictional team? None other than Terrell Owens.
A Bunch of Random Sports Stars like Tiki and Ronde Barber, Adrian Beltre, and Tony Dorsett.
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):
Alabama
"It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle."
This law really pisses me off and not for the reason you would think. Sure, driving while blindfolded is really really dumb, but what really pisses me off is that a state would make create this law which should be common sense and yet not make a law against it being illegal to drive and talk on your cellphone or text while driving. I know, you're probably one of those people who think they are still a good driver while talking on their phones, but do something for me. The next time you are driving and talking, try and keep track off how many times you just don't remember the last mile of the drive and still tell me you are a good talker/driver. The first time I realized I couldn't remember a five mile stretch of a drive while talking on my cellphone, I just stopped doing it. That and do you ever notice that if you try to pass someone on the interstate who is on their phone, they always seem to speed up? That drives me crazy and that's reason enough to make a law against it. But no, Alabama had to make a law that everyone should already know not to do. Then again, Alabama is full of rednecks and they have never been known for their smarts.
"There were a surprising amount of pictures of people driving while blindfolded in my Google image search."
Here is our weekly funny video post. Let's see what we got for you guys:
Set up: What's worse than a crying baby on a plane?
Summary: So Glee in intruding onto everyday life huh? This needs to stop. Enough is enough - it is bad enough Glee already takes up valuable FOX airtime that they could be using on a new comedy....or more Simpson repeats(?).
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.
This is a movie produced by Marvel and so far, they haven't let us down, so that's a good thing for this movie. The problem I have about this movie is its release date. Nothing good ever comes out in early April and the big blockbusters usually don't start coming out until early May. However, I'm hoping they are just trying to pull a "Christmas Creep" on us and releasing things earlier and earlier, you know, kind of like how Christmas seems to start earlier each year.
Anyways, on to the trailer. I used the extended trailer above because I think that gives you a better idea of what this movie is bringing to the table and that something looks awesome. The action scenes look great, Scarlett Johansson is looking good, and it looks like they are going against the norm and are only giving us one villain in a sequel. Seriously, that might be a first. However, if I had to guess based on the trailer, Robert Redford might actually be a bad guy, so don't be surprised when I nail that little prediction. Only by seeing the trailer, I'm going to recommend seeing this movie while in the theater.
What Kind of Fart This Movie Will Resemble:
The Relief Fart - Sound or odor don't matter on this one. What matters is the tremendous sense of relief that you have finally farted. Some people will even say, "Wow, what a relief." Very common.
This is more of a public service announcement than a blog post. If you have not started watching this "show" yet you need to immediately. If you like Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm then you will like this web series. The show, much like Seinfeld's show before it, is about nothing; but it is perfect. He just hangs out with other huge comedians and cracks wise. The episodes are typically 10-30 minutes long and go really fast. They also each feature a different totally awesome car. Go watch it now - he has three seasons already out so you have some catching up to do. Oh, and they're free!
"I would pay a lot of money to hang out at this table for an hour."
Here is the next edition in our weekly Random Movie Trivia post. Enjoy:
Captain America: The First Avenger
I picked this movie for today because the sequel comes out this weekend.
Stanley Tucci took the role of Dr. Erskine because the role enabled him to use a German accent, which he always wanted to do.
Chris Evans declined the role three times before finally being convinced to take it.
The wall art hiding the Tesseract at the beginning of the film shows the World Tree, the same concept design that Thor shares with Jane Foster in Thor (2011).
The villain's name Johan Schmidt is basically a German translation of the English name John Smith - a popular stock name and alias in English and US pop culture.
Chris Evans sixth comic book movie after the two Fantastic Four movies, Push (2009),The Losers (2010), and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010). He also voiced Casey Jones in TMNT (2007), also based on a comic book.
Edgar Wright (director of Shaun of the Dead) had been rumored to have secretly rewritten the film, but he publicly denied this. Wright will soon write/direct his own Marvel Studios film, Ant-Man (2015).
Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell from Game of Thrones, aka Joffrey's fiance) has a small part, she is the lady who seduces the Captain and gets him in trouble with his love interest.
Originally cameo appearances were planned in the film for Namor the Sub-Mariner, the Prince of Atlantis, but this was scrapped.
During the bar scene right after Captain America rescues Bucky and his unit, the bartender is played by the guy who is Chris Evans' double from before he takes the super soldier formula.
Originally cameo appearances were planned in the film for James Logan Howlett (Wolverine) and Erik Lensherr (Magneto), who were present during World War II (Logan was a soldier and Lensherr was a prisoner of war). These cameos were scrapped due to rights issues.
"I saw Hancock, there is no way this would have worked out."
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 Carly Foulkes. You may remember her from those old T-Mobile commercials. Sure, it has been awhile since we have seen her on TV, but she is still sexy. She had signed up to do more ads for T-Mobile, but they signed Shakira to a deal and Carly was pushed aside. In my opinion, huge mistake. Shakira isn't bad to look at, but she is barely 5 feet tall and I like my women tall and Carly is 5'8, so me likey. Congratulation, Carly, you are this month's Brainfart Crush of the Month.
