Goodbye Bruce, hello Caitlyn.  And you know what, she’s beautiful.

Over the last few months, every medium of media has been bombarding you with stories about Bruce Jenner’s transgender shock announcement.

In the beginning of 2015, there was plenty of denial from the Jenner-Kardashian camp as to what was going on.  And rightly so.  This is an incredibly personal story and one that takes a lot of courage to deal on a personal level, let alone, the international stage.

Superman… shouldn’t he be fat?

Many of you are already infuriated that I have the audacity to even question Superman’s awesome rock hard body, let alone imply that he’s fat.  I’ve thought about it long and hard and this is what health magazines, television, movies and the gym has taught me:

  1. Superman eats like a normal person.
  2. Superman does not require a huge amount of caloric intake when he’s performing crazy Superman feats. He never stops for a burger when he’s travelling at the speed of light.  He can run/fly around the world without even breaking a sweat.
  3. Superman rarely, if ever, lifts something that’s actually heavy for him. And even then, it’s like an aeroplane which is travelling at 300+ miles an hour right into him.
  4. Superman never actually exercises for the sake of exercising. He does perform manual labour, I’ll grant you that.
  5. Humanoids only build muscle through resistance training. Your muscles tear and repair in order to build.
  6. In order to get larger muscles, you must continuously lift weights which are heavier for you.
  7. There comes a point that your “natural” body will no longer get any bigger, irrespective of how much weight you push, pull or lift.

Can I have a multiplier with my vote please?

voteSex, politics and religion are the three taboo topics in any office and often, social gatherings.  You have your differing views and beliefs, and when you get a passionate person onto the topic, it’s like you wish a black hole would open up and swallow you whole.  That’s right, you, not them, as inevitably, their rants (let’s call a spade a spade) will bring forth another’s rant.  It’s like a never ending cycle.  It’s just easier to remove yourself than them really.

Why oh why, oh why?  I’ve been so intellectually stunned by this news, I couldn’t bring myself around to ranting about it until now.

Where have you gone wrong America?  Continue reading “CSI CYBER – Another season?!!! Come on!”

KUNG FURY : So tragically bad that it’s incredibly good

Triceracop and Kung Fury

The best worst movie of the 80s that’s been made in 2015. Boom!  Never taking itself seriously and always fun, Kung Fury is the must see of 2015.

This movie is the epitome of a good bad movie.  Now, if you’re confused, you won’t be once you’ve seen it.  Laser Unicorns has produced a gem of a crap heap.  From its bad 80s music, convoluted plot line rip off of every movie ever made, weird stiff acting, awkward pauses, incredibly awesome bad special effects and strange nonsensical dialogue, this movie has it all and you want it and more.  Writer, Director and star, David Sandberg, took every cliché from the 80s movie making world, chucked it in a blender, and made this awesome piece of fun crapolla.

Peyton Manning? Who?

I was new to NFL and had no clue who was whom when it came to the sport.  With a partner who is not quite obsessed, but burgeoning on it, I decided that perhaps it was time to take an interest.

So yes, I have been living under a rock, and I know nothing about the sport.  All I knew was that Tom Brady was the luckiest man on earth.  Being one of the best quarterbacks of the game and married to one of the hottest woman on earth, the envy of men all around the world.  In my mind, David Beckham has nothing on Brady.  And not being American, I was unfamiliar with how prolific the Manning boys are in American pop culture (especially in commercials).

Bruce Jenner : thank-you for being you

Message 02I never thought I’d ever say “Thank-you for being you” to anyone who was on a reality TV show.  But I truly mean it.  Thank-you Bruce.

Bruce Jenner, the long suffering patriarch of the Kardashian/Jenner clan has officially come out in the recent months as a transgender.  And he’s currently in the process of transforming himself into a woman.

Mannequins – skinny is out!

Adidas: Powerful. Inspirational. Achievable.

Sports stores have never been much of a favourite of mine.  It was just somewhere I would go to buy shoes.  And even then, it was neither here nor there, nor did I have any brand loyalty.

With the recent Fit is Sexy movement, the sports stores have become more and more prominent. With more choice than ever, brands are now vying for your dollar in more creative ways than ever before.

TOMORROWLAND – So very MIA

Tomorrowland
Tomorrowland

George Clooney… mega movie star, sex symbol, political activist, but most importantly, former box office draw card.
Clooney’s fan base are aging and are no longer between their late teens and early 30s.  The majority of his fans don’t want to see him in action movies or movies with other old men, they want to see him in a romantic comedy or a drama with some heart in it.  But mostly, he’s no longer the cool drawcard that he once was for the younger demographic, which the action movie is targeting. Don’t get me wrong, I still adore the prankster, I just am not going to pay to see him in a movie that doesn’t tell me much.

AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON

Avengers Age Of Ultron

I am definitely a minority when I say this, and please, do not shoot me for it: I am sick of super hero movies.

Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, The X-Men, Batman, Superman, Spiderman, The Fantastic Four… and these are just the ones that I can name off the top of my head.  Let me surmise the general gist of all these movies:
