Lakers Fan - Do you think the NBA Cheated on Behalf of the Lakers in 2002?
Since most of us are in Lakers playoff mode these days, let's talk about this.
You all know about NBA referee Tim Donaghy's allegation that Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals between the LA Lakers vs the Sacramento QUEENS was rigged.
He claims that NBA commissioner David Stern himself, told two of the three referees (Dick Bavetta and Bob Delaney) that "It would be in NBA interest to add another game to the series."
First watch the allegation video
Then watch these conspiracy videos that I came across...it's been featured on national sports radio and by Jim Rome...the videos may be a bit biased, but interesting nevertheless:

WBC Woes: Let's Drink Away at Le Cercle (Thu) & Encore (Sat)
Umm...so yeah, regarding WBC (World Baseball Classic) finals between Korea and Japan...sigh...the loss is very hard to swallow, but I'm proud of Korea for their valiant effort. A huuuuuge mistake for not walking red-hot Ichiro with 1B open...In the words of my hyung Scooby, I too blame the management. But hindsight is always 20/20 I guess...it still hurts though...fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!! DAE HAN MIN GOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, so let's drink our sorrows away, particularly this Thursday (Le Cercle) and Saturday (Sketch Comedy Show + Party).
And ladies, FREE promo tables at Cercle this Thu if you're interested...
Gyeah my boy Quinton "Rampage" Jackson came through this past Saturday with a win over "The Dean of Mean" Keith Jardine. I'm such a fan boy, hahaha.
What was more eventful was the trash talking that occured right after the fight between Rampage and current light heavyweight champ "Sugar" Rashad Evans. I don't need to explain any further, the jawing below (video #1), then Rashad's thoughts on their upcoming fight (video #2), then Rampage's thoughts on what occured (video #3).
Did Rashad just say I'm gonna dig in that ass? What the fuck does that mean? Like he's gonna dig Quinton's asshole with his index finger??? He can't even trash-talk right. What a fag.
LOL....Rampage is so fuckin funny. How can you not love this guy? But as much as I like Rampage, I can't fuckin stand Rashad Evans. He is the most un-charismatic MMA champ in the history of mixed martial arts! He's such an ass...he fronts like he's all professional with his suit and shit but all he can say during the trash-talk was fuck this and motherfucker that. What a poser. I hate the way he fights too, all he does is back-paddle and look to counter punch. Boooooring. I also hate the way he showboats in the ring disrespecting his opponents.
My prediction? Rampage victorious by KO in the 2nd Rd.
OK back to the local stuff...come party with Ktown213, Entitled, and Spotlight this Thursday at Le Cercle. Korea's ever-popular Gambler's Crew will be their along with our local talent, Tier2. Don't miss it!
So I've been catching up on lot of movies lately...some by torrents (yeah im a pirate), some by Netflix, some at AMC. So today I'm going to be a self-proclaimed movie critic and grade all the flicks I've seen in the past few months. Don't try to figure out what my criteria is for what makes an awesome movie, 'cause there's no logic in that ahahaha.
So here it is...in no particluar order...
Seven Pounds So my coworker comes to me and says "You know you're in Seven Pounds?" I was like STFU...and he says "No I'm being serious...you're wearing that red striped polo shirt." You see, last July the film crew did shoot downstairs of where I work, first floor of the Macy's building in downtown. There's this scene where Woody Harrison plays the piano in the lobby, and Will Smith watches on from an outside window of Victoria Secrets.
So I quickly download the movie and fast forward to the scene, and son-of-a-bitch wha-da-ya know...I AM in the fuckin' movie LOL....it's a crowd scene, where I have my arms folded watching Woody play the piano, and I turn around...then the camera cuts out. Man I don't remember hearing "Action!" or "Cut!" or anything...I didn't think they were just continuously rolling the film like that, you know what mean? But I can't complain...I mean my measly 4 seconds of big screen exposure is still kinda cool. Hey am I entitled to any royalties for this shit?
Anyhoo, going back to the movie, actually I've yet to watch it from beginning to end LOL. Sorry it's one of those movies where I have to be in the mood to watch. But from what I hear, it's one sad fuckin movie, a real tear jerker. But besides all that, heck I'm in it for 4 seconds so I give it an A+.
Beverly Hills Chihuahua Hey STFU...if it's free to download, so why not right? Besides the trailers made me chuckle here and there, so I decided to give it a chance.
Remember that taco bell commercial with that lil' chihuahua, where the only fuckin' thing he said was "Yo quiero taco bell?" Remember how amused you were the first time you watched that commercial, then it got really old and obsolete? That's how this film is, at first you're like "Haha look at that dog talking like a Mexican wetback," but after a while it's like watching 50 different takes of those taco bell commercials, only nonstop.
It made me wanna puke out a fuckin' 7-layer burrito. Fuckin' shit. I give it a D.
Death Race Jason Statham is one cool motherfucker ain't he? If God told me I can be reborn as any balding actor, I'd be him. Yeah he's not very versatile, and yeah every character he plays seems to be the same fuckin person...you know that guy? The I'm-a-English-bad-ass-and-I-can-kill-you-and-dodge-bullets-and-drive-cars-really-fast guy. But hey I love his movies for what it is. Dodging bullets, kicking ass when he's outnumbered 50 to 1, and driving really REALLY fuckin well.
This movie reminded me of my childhood days when I used to smash two micro-machines into each other making explosion sounds...like kaboom...and shit. Then my transformers would come and annihilate all them sum-bitches. Then the GI Joe's would come out and try to dominate the ransformers....but I digress. C'mon bitches, you know you can relate. I give this movie a B.
Eagle Eye First off, from what I hear Shia LaBeouf is a lil' bitch. This is coming from a very good source...my friend who owns a yogurt shop in Burbank, where Shia comes in all the time. Everyone that comes up to him for photo ops or autographs, he turns them down with a hand to their face. What a bitch.
And holy shit, what a coincidence...in this movie he acts like a lil' bitch too. He just bitches and spazzes out, running for his life. Doesn't he do that in ALL his fuckin movies? Spaz and run? Well it's no different in this film...he just bitches throughout the whole fuckin movie, running away from the mother of all computers, which happens to have every audio/visual equipment in the whole fuckin United States "eagle-eyed" on him. What the fuck? I give this movie a C-.
Gran Torino This movie is pretty fuckin intense. Clint Eastwood plays a hard-nosed grandpa who don't give a fuck after his wife dies. I think he's like 80 or something but he's still pretty fuckin' gangsta in the movie...like Snoop Dogg in his LBC days...only he's white, and old, and all wrinkly...
In the beginning he hates us chinks/gooks/nips (to him we're all the same) but soon takes a liking to a Hmong teenage boy. He cultivates him to a man and later on Mr. Eastwood fights the boy's fight, going Dirty Harry on all the Hmong gangstas. For those of you that don't know what Hmong is, here you go stupid - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hmong_people
Anyways, I give this movie a B+.
My Sassy Girl (American Remake) The Korean version is an A+ of course. This American version absolutely fucking sucks donkey balls covered in elephant cum. Why didn't they just bring original movie over and put subtitles on that motherfucker? Are you fuckin kidding me? No wonder this movie went straight to DVD. You just can't transpose behavioral comedy, a Korean one at that to an American film. It just doesn't work.
In this crappy version every scene is rushed, and there's like zero chemistry between Jordan (girl) & Charlie (guy). You know in the OG version if Jun-Ji-Hyun had asked her guy to lick the asshole of a giraffe, he would've made that ddong face (shit face) but still would've soldiered-up, know what I mean? In this one I think Charlie would've told Jordan to go suck a fat jaj.
I give this movie a big what the Fuck - F
RocknRolla If you're a big Guy Ritchie fan (as I am) then you're automatically a fan of his past films like "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch". And if you liked those films you'll definitely like RocknRolla. This film is fast-paced with witty dialogue, filled with gut-wrenching action, with a dash of comedic twist.
By the way, did you know I dig the English accent? I think it sounds pretty fuckin money...well not as money as a fobby Korean accent, but nevertheless still pretty fuckin cool.
And I love how all the English guys end their sentences with a question. Like - "Well he just got his head blown off, hasn't he?" "Well you're real fuckin special aren't ya?" "Well this is one fucked up situation, innit?" Hahaha...I love it when they go innit? innit? innit?
So my reviews are pretty fuckin cool innit? Anyways, I give this movie a solid B.
Welp, that's it for now...but I have a lot more to review, like Mall Cop, Slumdog Millionaire, Street Kings, the Wrestler, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Valkyrie, Benjamin Button, Transporter 3, W, Zack and Mari, and on and on and on....
So it looks like BJ Penn will face Ken Flo (Kenny Florian) next. But BJ doesn't appear to be too happy about Kenny deciding to train with GSP for the upcoming fight. Penn is saying that Kenny is a turncoat, that it was actually Kenny that tipped off BJ's camp about GSP's plan to grease himself, and more seriously that GSP takes roids...and now he's gonna train with him?
Penn and Kenny have gone back and forth with some words, BJ through his website and Kenny with his TV time on ESPN.
Some Quotes:
BJ PENN "Oh, that's funny, he's going to tristar? He's the who who tipped us off that GSP was going to be greasing, he actually emailed me and tipped me off."
"Kenny if you're going to call me a liar on stuff I'm going to call you out. You're right it was not an email, you texted someone in the camp and told them that GSP is a big roider and big greaser to watch out for him. Kenny, I'm just calling a spade a spade."
KENNY FLORIAN “I’ve never emailed a fighter about anything like that. I don’t even have B.J. Penn’s email, I’d love to see that email. I would say print that email and show it to everybody. Where’s this mystery email?”
“I haven’t spoken to B.J. besides 'hello' since January of 2007. I’ve never trained with St. Pierre in the past. I have no motive in saying that. Even if I knew, would I say that? I know of other fighters who have greased and I don’t say anything to anybody.”
“I was a little worried about a St. Pierre-Penn rematch coming first. From what I heard, it did really well with the pay-per-view and a lot of people turned up for it. The UFC certainly could have made a lot of money doing the third one, but I think the overwhelming response was...I didn’t realize how big of a fight it would be between me and B.J. until I saw the polls and people talking on the Interweb. People want to see me fight B.J. and it feels good to know that.”
When asked about his motivation behind going to tri-star (GSP's camp).
“He’s trained everyone to fight against me. He trained both Sam Stout and Roger Huerta to fight me...and obviously, he got a first-hand account of fighting B.J., twice. He’s gone seven rounds with B.J., so that’s some good information to get. Hopefully Georges will forget about the email I sent B.J. Penn and share it with me.”
So is GSP the A-Rod of MMA? Is BJ just looking for excuses? Is Kenny a turncoat?
Oh the MMA drama...I love it. Either way, Kenny is a legitimate #1 light-weight contender, and I think it'll be an exciting fight. I look for BJ to kick Kenny's ass though...
