Your wife doesn't understand you:Humor

2011-05-27T03:04:00.000-04:00

One thing my wife and I dont see eye to eye on is "what is funny?". Men and women have a diffrence on what they think is funny and what isn't. I have to say I LOVE the show "Workaholics" on Comedy Central.It is one of the funniest thing I have seen on TV in the past year or so.I am always quoting onliners from the show to my wife and she just rolls her eyes at me. This, by the way, makes me want to quote it even more. One day last week I kept telling her that everything was "tight butthole" and "loose butthole". Needless to say she didnt find it funny...but I did!!! I was cracking myself up. And thats my point...it makes me happy to laugh at stupid stuff. With all the crap going on around the world, isnt it nice to sit and laugh? My wife just doesn't get it!!

Im back!!!!

Why Your Wife Doesn't Understand You: DVD Collection

2009-08-22T10:23:00.004-04:00

I am starting a new weekly post "Why Your Wife Doesn't Understand You" where we delve into things that make your wives or girlfriends crazy trying to understand why you do the things you do.

This weeks subject is your huge DVD collection!!
Does your wife bitch about your thousands of DVDs? Does she yell at you for coming back from BEST BUY with a bag of DVDs? Does she not let you display your DVDs in the entertainment center or anywhere in the living room? Well, I know how you feel! My fiance and i were recently talking about moving out and she told me that there is no way that I will be displaying my DVDs in the living room. She told me I could put them in a cabinet or something that will keep them out of sight. Doesn't she know that I have spent years (and lots of money) to build up this library of movies? Does she understand the pride a man gets in showing off? Does she think that I love my DVDs more then her? She just doesn't get it.

Let me explain it to her and all other women...Men love movies. We love blood and guts. We love bullets and babes. We also love display our collections. We take pride in it, whether its DVDs, books, NASCAR, MLB, Or NFL merchandise and autographs, Etc. We like to show it of to other men. We love to say "mine is bigger then yours". Men love to compete against another men. Lastly, its not the you man love his DVD collection more then you, its a different love. I am not gonna marry my DVD collection...that would be weird, right? Well maybe..you think I could? Ok ok I'm kidding..yeah kidding...anyways..we love you more then our collections. Don't worry :)

So I hope I have shed a little light on why your man does what he does. I hope when he brings home a new DVD you will sit down and watch it with him. Maybe you will even let him display them in the living room?? Please?

The Hobbit...A Third Film??

2009-07-31T16:19:00.002-04:00

Talks have been floating around that if these first two Hobbit movies do well that a third film will be considered. These first two films are splitting the story of "The Hobbit" novel and a third film would be a bridge between "The Hobbit" films and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

More to come on this story....

Johnny Depp to do "Dark Shadows" Adaptation

2009-07-30T16:51:00.004-04:00

It has been announced that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp will team up for the big-screen adaptation of "Dark Shadows," the Gothic soap opera about vampires, ghosts, and monsters that ran on ABC from 1966 to 1971. Burton confirmed this last Thursday when he presented footage from "Alice in Wonderland" to a capacity crowd at Comic-Con's cavernous Hall H. He said "Dark Shadows" would be his next project, "if I ever finish this one here."

This is just one in a line of many current or upcoming remakes and adaptions of old movies and TV shows. The list already consists of movies like The A-Team, Tron, Clash of the Titans, and The Prisoner.

San Diego Comic Con 2009..News and Notes!!!

2009-07-26T15:33:00.003-04:00

-The producers of the new "A Nightmare on Elm Street" said that while its a remake they weren't slavish to Wes Craven's original by any means so expect it to have a few changes from the original. They said Robert Englund is NOT going to make a cameo though went to great pains to say he's a big supporter of it and Haley in the role. Andrew Clement's make-up design is said to evoke a more realistic take on the burn victim look with Haley calling it more "disconcerting" than the previous film's make-up jobs.

-Huge news for comic book fans out of Comic-Con today: Marvel Comics has announced that they've purchased the rights to legendary superhero Marvelman from creator Mick Anglo, bringing one of the most sought after heroes in graphic fiction into their fold.

-Heading into the sixth and final season of "Lost", there was an eager air of anticipation regarding which original early season characters would be returning in what is sure to be a mind-bending blowout of a sendoff. Dominic Monaghan showed up at the panel, right at the end to wave to the crowd. It was neither confirmed nor denied if Dominics Character will be returning but i I would say chances are good with this appearance.

-The New season of "Star Wars:Clone Wars" will have slicker animantion and a darker tone. Also news of an old favorite being added to the cast of characters....Boba Fett!!!
