The end of LOST

LOST is finally coming to an end. I was never really a huge fan of this show, but I know the story, I'm pot committed and I'm all in. I just want to see this end. I never really got the obsession. LOST became that show that everyone who was obsessed with it, would annoy you by trying to figure out the mysterious plot with with their theories or the writers would write something so asinine, fanatics would convince themselves, "Yeah, Lost was crazy last night, but I could totally see that happening" when in reality, the writers could write ANYTHING and fans of the show would approve. I did hear in a podcast the writers wrote season 1 with an end plan but didn't know how long LOST would go, so they added some filler until they found out the show would last 6 seasons. Whatever. I'm just here for the entertainment. And Evangeline Lilly. I just wonder what happens to these actors after LOST. They will be ultimately typecasted and won't be able to be looked at the same again. This happened with actors from the Wire (Michael in 90210, awful), Saved by the Bell (they all failed, for the most part) and I guess Sopranos (if you check out any Gandolfini movie).

Anyways, one fanatic created a trailer for the series finale for sunday and it's pretty good. It took him 32 hours to make. 32. Doesn't he have a job or something? Like me. I have a job. And lots of down time. Thus this blog was born. Either way, the trailer is actually pretty good, as LOST comes down to a close.

HOPE

As you can tell from my new picture up top, I'm very excited about the upcoming John Wall pick. Strasburg, Ovechkin, McNabb and Wall usher in 2010-2011. Here are some Wall photo shops I've come across. Yes I'm giddy.

Can you find McGruber?

Two Words: John Wall

Well, the Wizards finally had some good karma come their way. Finally, for the 2nd time in their history, they won the NBA Draft Lottery. Yeah yeah I know, Kwame Brown was a bust. But that year, there wasn't really a consensus #1. This year, Wall and then Turner and then the rest. The Wizards were a joke and an embarrassment this year. Started out with promise with "the Big 3" all healthy. After a few impressive early wins, they went on a slide followed by the death of Abe, the infamous game of bourre that led to Gilby and Crittenton drawing guns on each other, suspending them both, Gilby with jail time and eventually dismantling the squad. Caron gone. Jamison gone. Deshawn/Haywood/McGuire gone. No more straw chewing. No more awkward layups. No more hand-waving in front of face.

But alas, finally some good karma. The whole point of conducting a team is to win a championship, not a first round series. And they blew it up. Today with the draft lottery win, it's a start. Now assuming new owner Ted Leonsis isn't an idiot (he's not because he patiently built the Caps from the beginning and removed these joke of what they call banners), Ted will have Ernie take John Wall. A PG for the next 5 years at least.

Now if Miss Cleo is correct, your new starting five will be Wall, Arenas, Lebron, Blatche, McGee. But of course psychics are f'ing dumb.

So Wall, Arenas, Josh Howard, Blatche, Mcgee, with Nick Young and others off the bench. The team was completely gutted, but Wall is definitely a start. We're still a long long long way away until they are even close to competing (Come home Kevin Durant!) but at least there's some sort of hope at the end of this dark tunnel.

Great things happen in 3's. DC's last 3 #1 overall picks: Ovechkin, Strasburg and now Wall. Let's hope the last two are just as awesome as Ovie.

Now get your John Wall dance on.

Update: Wizards milking that lotto win already.

Movie Review for Kick-Ass

I finally saw Kick-Ass on Sunday and I was thoroughly entertained. From beginning to end, it was not like your typical Super Hero movie. More Profane. More Entertaining. More Violent. Slo-Mo action scenes. Comic Relief. Attractive female girlfriend. Kick-Ass was original, well rounded and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I guess there's something badass about watching some 11 year old girl going on a Kill Bill-esque killing spree. Every time they zoomed into her little beadie eyes, I was expecting to hear those Kill Bill sirens to start blaring.

A quick synopsis of Kick-Ass is about this dorky comic book nerd wants to become a super hero (named Kick-Ass), but he well, sucks and gets his ass kicked a lot. As the movie goes on, he gets saved from yet another beatdown by Hit Girl and Big Daddy (Nick Cage!). Hit Girl and Big Daddy both have secret vendettas against a crime kingpen that become more apparent as the movie goes on.

Kick-Ass was a little Taratino-esque, but I should of known I would enjoy this movie becasue it was directed by Matthew Vaughn. Vaughn directed Layer Cake, one of my personal favorites and also produced Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

I would definitely recommend seeing this movie. Just a fun movie all around, especially for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

The World is About to Get Messi'd

It was another lazy Sunday at the Castro. 3 out of 4 were hungover and one is a gimp so we all watched Barcelona vs. some other team that got relegated. Barcelona clinched another La Liga Championship with a 4-0 win and Lionel Messi scored twice. With the World Cup 25 days away, here's a little preview with all of Messi's 47 goals in La Liga this year. Something to look forward to this upcoming June.

Tyler Lewis...the next Steve Nash?

Well tonight is Game 1 of Suns-Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. So here's a vid of the next Steve Nash. This kid is a high school sophomore. White people playing basketball. Makes it look smooth.

New Bravo TV Show

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is the funniest show on tv. Fact. Not even a debate. Well the waitress from the show stars in Bravo's new reality show. Ok it's not real show but this would be awesome.
