MORE CELEBRITY DOUCHE BAGS

will-smith *Peace to all douche bags out there.

Will Smith

I’m still furious with the Fresh Prince because of this arrogant “I can remake Karate Kid with my son playing the lead” horseshit. Believe it or not, I still don’t mind the guy and actually always enjoyed his attitude and charisma. But when you’re plugging your son (favoritism, anyone?) to play a part immortalized by Ralph Macchio in a movie immortalized by Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi), you are now officially a douche bag. Until this remake of Karate Kid comes out, gets slammed by critics and fans alike for a giant piece of humble pie, you ain’t off the hook yet, Fresh Prince.

tom-cruise *Thumbs Up! You’re a douche.

Tom Cruise

Speaking of complete douche bags, Tom Cruise is one of the biggest. In fact, he’s part of Douche Bag royalty as anyone with Scientology connections usually will be. In fact, it might be worth considering to change his classic movie Top Gun to Top Douche. At least, it’d be more fitting for him and we’d know immediately who the leading role is. If you really want to observe how absolutely looney Mr. (Mrs. is more like it) Cruise is, just watch him during a Lakers game sitting on the bench. Look at all the strangely maniacal expressions and twitches he gets on his face. Weird shit, my friends. And very, very douchey.

lebron-james-witness *Witness you getting bounced from the playoffs?

Lebron James

Boy, do I really want to like Lebron. He’s an awesome basketball player, a good teammate and seems to enjoy poking fun at himself whether it’s in commercials or as host of Saturday Night Live. Watching him go one-on-Orlando Magic was fun but only if you were rooting for the Magic. Lebron is a beast but he can’t do it all himself and the team around him was so overrated that everyone thought they’d cruise through the Eastern Conference playoffs instead of getting their ass handed to them by Orlando. However, after the Lebroneers lost game 6 in Orlando, LBJ stormed off the court without congratulating his buddy, Dwight Howard, or anyone else on the winning team. That’s self-serving, pompous, disrespectful and insulting bullshit. Every time Lebron wins a series, he walks over to get his respect from the losers. When he loses? He’s a little poor sport child. Sad. So sad that King James will now be Queen James of the Deaf Sage’s shit list until next season.

will-ferrell *I’ve got my douche smile on

Will Ferrell

Mr. Ferrell, your head has gotten way too big. First of all, you’re not funny. You’re silly. There’s a difference between the two. Funny is when you say funny things and write funny things. Silly is when you do funny things but never really say anything funny. Another comic actor who really hasn’t done a good movie. Old School isn’t his movie, it was written and directed by someone else. That’s probably why people think it’s so funny. Land of the Lost looks like another shitty Will Ferrell movie that will kick ass in its first weekend at the box office and trail off badly for the second week. It may be that Ferrell is a nice guy and everything but when it comes to movies, he sucks and is becoming far too douchey for my taste.

STOP WATCHING THIS CRAP

STOP WATCHING THIS CRAP:

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian & Terminator: Salvation.

Screw Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Put Terminator: Salvation to rest too. Movies that overdo trailers usually aren’t good for a reason: the trailers show all the good parts.

As I always like to do, I’m here to help out and provide you with some alternatives to the corny and soulless movies that try to manipulate the box office these days. 

time-bandits

Time Bandits (1981)

I pick this for the sake of the children, if you have the balls to let yours watch this. It’s PG but we’re talking PG in 1981, the same as some R movies get today. 

Being that it’s British, the humor here is dryer and the undertone of the is much darker, something that wouldn’t stand in American adventure movies for children.

It’s the story of a 10-year-old British boy named Kevin who awakens one night to a room filled with six dwarves looking over an old map. This map is the driving force behind the whole movie.

Basically, the dwarves work for the “Supreme Being” who is pissed at them because they’re supposed to be using the map to repair the space-time continuum. 

This special map shows the locations of holes in time and space. However, the dwarves have a labor dispute with “Supreme Being” and are using the map to steal treasures all across history.

Pretty cool, huh? 

It is. 

Rent it, kick back and enjoy yourself.

bloodsport

Bloodsport (1988)

If you’re a guy and you’ve never heard of Bloodsport, you may want to check your sexual orientation again. It is Jean Claude Van Damme’s first and best movie by a longshot.

It’s the story of Frank W. Dux, an American trained in the martial art-form of Ninjitsu. He is invited to fight in the Kumite, an underground full-contact martial arts tournament that is sometimes crippling and deadly. 

His buddy in the movie is none other than Donald Gibb (Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds) who’s trying with Dux to become the first Westerner ever to win the Kumite. 

Chong (Bolo Yeung) is the main villain of the movie, the reigning Kumite champion and absolute bad ass. He’s been known to kill and has a look that’s a cross between a psychopath and a deranged cat. It’s scary and I don’t know how many martial arts villains you say that about. Bad ass, yes. Scary, no. Chong is one scary motherfucker.

The little back story where Dux is being trailed by military police because he went AWOL to Hong Kong for the Kumite is as good as moot but all the other fighters in the Kumite tournament are fun to watch because there’s so many different characters.

What could have been given to the plot was obviously given to the fighers, displaying a vast array of martial arts from around the globe. It’s worth a watch if you like fighting movies, action movies or just a good old fashioned kick-ass movie.
