Michael Clarke Duncan passed away today at the way too young age of 54 according to The Chicago Sun Times. The actor suffered a massive heart attack back in July and he never recovered from it. The big guy with the bigger smile and heart made his mark in Hollywood in the movie The Green Mile back in 1999. To this day I say he was robbed of the Oscar for that role because he was just so amazing in it. There was something about him that just made you instantly fall in love with him. Even though he was the size of someone you should be afraid of, he was more inviting than scary.
Although he made us cry in The Green Mile, he made us laugh in The Whole Nine yards. He was versatile actor who started out in this town as a bodyguard, but became so much more in short time. So today honor him and watch one of his many great movies like Planet of the Apes, The Scorpion King and of course The Green Mile so we can keep his huge spirit alive.
I debated whether or not to use that clip from TGM, but then I said that is how we all felt when he heard he died. You can watch that interview from The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson to remember him with a laugh, but the tears we shed for him should come from the role that made him a standout star in his first leading role.
Summer family vacation time is over and if you thought your trip was bad, it ain’t nothing as compared to what happened to the people on Nat Geo Wild’s An Animal #$*% My Vacation! Tonight at 10p when you watch this show that is as brilliant as its name, you will realize that your trip wasn’t that bad. That’s because one woman got dry humped by a dolphin, another guy got a tic on his dick, while another man had a sea lion jump on lap while he was kayaking and the sea mammal thought the guy’s crotch smelled like fish. But it wasn’t only about the crotch area and animals, there was couple who was in South Africa when a baboon opened their car door and decided to jump in. But at least he remained in the back seat unlike the bear in Lake Tahoe who broke into a family’s Prius and wound up driving it away when he couldn’t get out. Oh yeah and did you know that a goat has really huge testicles when he gets excited? All of these awful holidays were caught on video and the people involved relive their tales that seem more like something out of National Lampoon’s Vacation than real life! If ever there was show that appropriate on a Labor Day, it is this one and it is just as fun as when you get home to your own bed after your awful family summer outing.
Tonight is already the season finale of Hotel Hell and Fox is giving it a two hour send off starting at 8p. In the first hour Gordon Ramsay goes to the River Rock Inn in the Poconos that when he uses a blacklight in his room it looks like an episode of CSI. Not only are the sheets covered with stuff you don’t want to know about it, there are also living and dead bugs all over the place. In fact a roach does a dance for him as he sits on the toilet. It is so bad, that you think this might be the hotel that does Ramsay in. Will he be able to turn Hotel Hell into a place you will want to stay at, or is this Inn that just can’t be saved? You have to tune in for an episode that will make you bring a blacklight with you whenever you go on a vacation.
Russell Crowe had to be rescued by the Coast Guard yesterday when he got lost 10 miles off of Long Island on a kayaking trip with a friend according to The NY Daily News. Now I was all prepared to make fun of him for doing a meat head thing like getting lost at sea, but then I saw the picture of him with his rescuers and I thought he looked more like Rob Reiner than he does himself. So I had to make fun of him about that. Seriously doesn’t he look like Meathead with that slicked back hair and bushy beard? Not a good look for him, but then again which recent look has been a good one for him?
The Oogieloves got absolutely no love at the Box Office this weekend because the film had the worst three day opening in US movie history. According to EW it only earned total of $448,131 from 2,160 theaters it played at throughout the country, that is a whole $207 per theater. Then they added if the average cost of a ticket was $7 that means that only 30 people saw it at each theater. That is even more painful than the movie looks.
Now having said that, why do I so desperately want to see that movie now??? Who is with me? I mean we should have the whole place to ourselves. So I guess you can say that Oogieloves is a great place for couples to get some oogie love if they want to cross movie theater sex off of their bucket list. Let me tell you it is so much fun, but I will deny that if I am asked about that in person…
