WATCH: Crazy Condom Lady At UW Milwaukee Tries To Convince Students To Use Jimmy Hats

Crazy Condom Lady UW Milwaukee

Crazy people on campus spouting all sorts of hateful Jesus freak stuff is kind of par for the course these days, but I have to say that this “Crazy Condom Lady” at UW-Milwaukee is probably the strangest preacher we’ve seen. Like, we’re totally on board with the subject matter and the importance of using condoms, but we get the feeling that she’s part of some sort of religion that worships condoms.

She refers to condoms as “almighty condoms,” asks the students to be a “true believer,” and observes that some of the students have “lost faith.” Also, she’s walking around with a condom out of the wrapper and waving it around as though it’s some sort of sacrament. The humor in that it’s a Trojan Magnum condom is not lost on me, btw.

But despite her weird gospel and doubtful students, she immediately regains their love at the end of the video when she responds to their question, “How high are you right now?”

Quick side note: Yes, this woman obviously is insane and crazy and all that, but if you actually look closely at her I’d bet she was pretty hot back in the day. It’s a safe bet that she wasn’t a dead fish either, especially if you were carrying a condom in your “billfold.”

Ken Bone’s Twitter

It was love at first sight between America and Ken Bone. As soon as his goofy looking, undecided voting, red sweater rocking ass appeared on our TVs during the second Presidential debate, we were all in. Memes, T-shirts, sexy Halloween costumes, you name it.

We couldn’t get enough of Mr. Bone, and he seemed to enjoy all the attention he was getting too, as he went on a bunch of talk shows and got a cushy endorsement gig from UberSELECT. But with all the press he was receiving, Ken got a little careless. After Ken did a Reddit AMA, Gizmodo reported that users were able to dig up some old comments that he made on the site that has everybody seeing him in a whole new light.

Here’s Ken commenting on some pornographic images. He really wasn’t lying about the Bone Zone.

Ken also opined on the joys of being able to raw dog his wife after his vasectomy. Get some, Ken!

While all this stuff is obviously embarrassing for Ken, I don’t think it’s a big deal. So Ken likes Brazilian curves and dropping fire Zoolander references. If that’s a crime, lock me up and throw away the key.

But unfortunately for Ken, he apparently did commit a very real crime in his past.

Jeeze, Ken making big forgery moves like Leo in Catch Me If You Can. Definitely didn’t see that one coming.

And finally, Ken had some less than stellar opinions on Trayvon Martin’s killing and Jennifer Lawrence’s leaked nude photos.

This is like finding out that Santa Claus isn’t real. I thought Ken Bone was a beacon of all that’s decent and good. The one guy with a true moral compass in this crazy world. But I was sorely mistaken. He’s just some random dickhead who got famous because he looks funny and has a cool name. What a goddamn shame. This whole election can go straight to hell.

Villanova point guard Adrianna Hahn is gaining Instagram followers like a woman possessed in the offseason, making it a serious possibility that the Women’s Team could be more popular than the reigning NCAA Champion Men’s Team by the end of the season.

Before arriving at Nova, Adrianna was the Gatorade Delaware Player of the Year for three straight years in a row. Once at Villanova, though, she started five games, averaged 10.6 ppg and 25 minutes a game–which is pretty nasty. As a sophomore, there’s going to be a lot more pressure on her to shoulder more of the offesnive burden, but it looks like she’s more than ready for that.

Speaking of looks, we’re sure that you’ll probably follow her on Instagram once you start checking out her gallery of pictures below.

Restrictions On Cuban Cigars & Rum Are Finally Lifted

Barack Obama is finishing up his second and final term as President with a bang. He just came through in a major way by lifting restrictions on the amount of Cuban cigars and rum Americans can bring home. Here’s USA Today with the details.

The Obama administration announced Friday a new round of executive actions designed to increase trade and travel with the communist island. And this is the one many Americans have been waiting for — no more restrictions on the island’s famed rum and cigars.

Under the new rules, which go into effect Monday, travelers can purchase unlimited quantities of Cuban rum and cigars in any country where they are sold so long as they are for personal consumption. Sorry American couch potatoes: You can’t order Cuban rum and cigars online and have them shipped to your home.

The old limit was $100 worth of Cuban cigars and rum for Americans that traveled directly to Cuba, so this is absolutely fantastic news. I might bring an extra piece of luggage on my next trip abroad strictly to fill that sucker to the brim with Cuban cigars. I still have a messy relationship with rum after a disastrous tango with Captain Morgan as a 17-year-old. Time apparently doesn’t heal all wounds.

I love my Cubans, though, as there’s nothing better than ripping a cigar after a long day. Talk about living the high life.

Jhonquis Compton Shooting

Jhonquis Compton, a 19-year-old man, is critically injured after being shot in the head at a Tennessee State University (TSU) dorm early Friday morning. Police claim eyewitnesses saw a man with gold twists in hair shoot Compton and run from the scene in a Pontiac sedan.

What Happened?

Around 1:00 A.M., Nashville Police responded to a shooting at Jenkins Dorm, a property owned by the House of God church but rented out by TSU. There they found Compton with a gunshot wound to the head.

Police believe that the shooting may have been a drug deal gone wrong.

Who Is Jhonquis Compton?

Jhonquis Compton is 19-year-old with a murky history of possible criminal activity. He is not a student of TSU. A quick Google search reveals that Compton was wanted for questions involving the assault of a convenience store clerk. He was also wanted for questioning in the murder of 33-year-old John Sykes. At the age of 15, he was also accused of beating up and mugging an old man with a cane.

NFL Week 6 picks

Ah the NFL, such a love-hate relationship I have with it. I love it because I love football, even with its declining ratings, but I also hate it because there are times I find it impossible to bet on; but as a man of the people, it is my duty to give everyone this week’s slate of picks, even if I’m not a big fan of any of them. Side note: This would be the week to fade all of my picks, so kudos to me for owning my mistakes before they happen.

[Editor’s Note: These picks will not necessarily “get you rich quick.” In fact, they could just as easily make you poor as f*ck as they would make you rich.]


Jaguars + 2.5 @ Bears

Jaguars vs Bears

I don’t know much, but here’s what I do know: both of these teams stink. They’re both sitting with one win on the season, but I think Jacksonville has shown more promise this year than Chicago has. The Jags have played teams pretty tough this year for the most part, and I think they have much much more skillful positions than the Bears have. I also think that Chicago may be the worst team in football this year, and are a pretty miserable home team. Jacksonville will come back from the Midwest with a W.


Steelers -7 @ Dolphins- Lock of the Week

Steelers vs Dolphins

I previously stated that the Bears may be the worst team in the NFL this year, but the Dolphins are right down there with them. Ryan Tannehill has regressed as a quarterback this year, which isn’t what you want to hear as a Dolphins fan, especially after you just gave him a pretty big contract just last year. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, is one of the best teams in the league and has been scoring left and right this season. Ben Roethlisberger is in the MVP discussion this season, and I look for him to pile up the stats as he goes up against one of the worst defenses in the league on Sunday. I actually feel pretty damn good about this pick.


49ers +9 @ Bills

49ers vs Bills

I will fully admit to you that this is arguably one of the dumbest picks that I’ve ever made, so go ahead and feel free to oppose this one, but for all of those who are intrigued to hear why I’m going with San Francisco, buckle up. I’m well aware that Buffalo is riding high in the midst of a three-game winning streak, and San Francisco is a bottom five team in the league, but amongst all the controversies that he’s stirred up, Colin Kaepernick is the quarterback that Chip Kelly has needed since he’s gotten to the NFL. Yeah, he hasn’t been great the past few seasons, but this is a fresh start for Kaepernick in an offense that is built around his strengths. The Niners may not win this game, but I think they will at least make it interesting and cover the eight-point spread.


Cowboys +3.5 @ Packers

Cowboys vs Packers

I hate the Cowboys and hope they lose by 100, but I think they’re unfortunately going to pull off the upset on Sunday. Lead by their unbelievable offensive line, I think they’re going to do a good job keeping the ball out of Aaron Rodgers’ hands throughout most of the game, and their defense may make enough plays against a Packers offense that has struggled in the second half of games this year. Although Green Bay has the best defense against the run this season, I think the offensive line of Dallas will open up enough holes for rookie running back Zeke Elliot (F me for not taking him in fantasy) to continue his success from this season. I’m still waiting for Dak Prescott to turn the ball over, but he still continues to make all the right plays, and the Cowboys should be heading back to Dallas with a 5-1 record.


Texans -3 vs Colts

If it wasn’t for Andrew Luck, I don’t think the Colts would ever win again. The team they’ve built around him is laugh out loud funny. That’s not to say that I think the Texans are a juggernaut (spoiler alert: I don’t), but I think they have a much better team than Indy, and they should win this game at home pretty handily. I will also admit to you that a big reason as to why I’m picking Houston is because I have DeAndre Hopkins on my fantasy team who’s currently sitting at 1-4, and I need him to put up some numbers because I desperately need a win.

Let me preface this article by saying that I get all of my points spreads from Scores and Odds, and I’m really not the best gambler. I’m a pretty terrible gambler actually, so if all my picks are bad just start fading me and win a ton of money. I’d also like to point out the point spreads change closer to game time, so these spreads are when I first see them.

Week 7 of College Football, boy oh, boy do we have a great slate of games. Gamblers everywhere are licking their chops to get to Saturday, and this is the first time all season I feel great about these picks. Now because there are too many games for me to give a description for each of them, I’m going to do you the pleasure of picking my five best games, as well as my lock of the week. Now, onto this week’s picks:


West Virginia -1 @ Texas Tech

West Virginia Texas Tech

I’ll admit that this is the game I feel least confident about but I still feel pretty good about this. This is WVU’s first road game of the season so they will be tested against the Red Raiders’ high-scoring offense, but I think they’re going to be able to put up points as well and walk out of Lubbock with a win, and stay undefeated on the season.


Nebraska -3 @ Indiana

Nebraska Indiana

Nebraska football is back baby, it is so, so back (I think). I know Indiana had a big win against Michigan State a few weeks ago, but I think the Spartans are down this year compared to years past, and the scheduling Gods were pretty brutal to the Hoosiers making them go from Ohio State right to Nebraska in back-to-back weeks. I think the Cornhuskers should win this game fairly easily.


Vanderbilt @ Georgia OVER 42.5

Vanderbilt Georgia

Georgia may hit that point total by themselves. I think Nick Chubb is an awesome running back who is going to run wild on this Vanderbilt defense. Although he’s had his ups and downs this season, freshman quarterback Jacob Eason should have a few touchdowns of his own on Saturday. Vanderbilt is by no means is a good team, but I think even they will be able to put up a few points on an average Bulldogs defense.


Arkansas +7 vs Ole Miss

If there’s one thing you need to know about me, it’s that I LOVE home underdogs getting more than a touchdown. I don’t think either team has that great of a defense, and Austin Allen should be able to match touchdowns with Chad Kelly. Ole Miss may win this game, but I think it will come down to a last-second field goal.


Ohio State -10.5 @ Wisconsin-Lock of the Week

Ohio State Wisconsin

I know I just said that I love home underdogs, and ten points is a lot to give to a Wisconsin team who I think has played very well this year and has a great defense, but this is just a mismatch for them. Ohio State is arguably the best team in the country with one of the most explosive offenses out there. I have been very impressed with the way the Badgers have played this year, especially going to Michigan and only losing by a touchdown, but their offense won’t be able to keep up with the Buckeyes, and I think Ohio State will win by at least two touchdowns.

Jackson County Circuit Court Judge John McBain doesn’t tolerate any nonsense in his courtroom, and one creep just learned that the hard way. Jacob Larson was in a Michigan courtroom because he wouldn’t stop harassing a woman on Facebook. While pleading his case to McBain, Larson kept digging himself a deeper and deeper hole by mouthing off to him. This was a tactic that Larson would immediately regret.

“Tase his ass right now!” Larson picked the wrong dude to mess with. I always thought that Judge Judy was a tough cookie, but she’s got nothing on this fiery son of a bitch.

I love how quickly McBain took his robe off and sprung into action too. He ripped that thing off instantly like he was an NBA player getting ready to check into a game. No hesitation. No fear. Just a commitment to keeping order in his courtroom by any means necessary.

And Larson 100% deserved everything that happened to him. Disrespecting a judge, cursing, resisting, and being an overall jerk is a perfect recipe to end up getting embarrassed in a viral video. Enjoy the clink, ya jabroni.

DrugsLab MDMA Episode

DrugsLab, the Dutch YouTube show where three hosts take different drugs in order to “safely” document the effects of the narcotics, is quickly becoming my favorite YouTube channel on the web.

Last week, the guys/girls over at DrugsLab took some Ketamine to describe to people exactly what it did to them. As someone who was always interested in the effects of Special K, but with no desire to actually take it, that was right up my alley. But this week they pulled out all the stops and gave Nellie, the cute girl in the crew, a dose of MDMA. The sneaky bastards even put her Dutch blue eyes as the thumbnail, which is pretty much guaranteed to give this video over a million views.

I don’t need to tell you that MDMA, (what should be) the active drug in Ecstasy, is extremely popular among the yoot dem. So I think it’s pretty great that these guys are talking about the positive and negative effects the drug can have on you.

Russia Unveils New Statue of Very Terrible Ruler

ivan-the-great

Something terrible has happened! Russia revealed their first-ever monument for historical bad guy Ivan the Terrible. At today’s ceremony, officials unveiled a statue of this 16th-century czar as an exalted figure; sitting horseback, with a shield in hand and sword wielded high up in the air. The sculpture of Ivan is located in the city of Oryol and was officially uncovered October 14, marking the 450 year anniversary of Oryol, where the terrible czar built his fortress and founded this southwestern city of Russia.

A crowd of 1,000 attended the event, some as protesters and others as supporters.  Natalya Golenkova, head of a protest group disgusted by any presence of an Ivan statue, wrote on the social network VKontakte.”In almost 500 years NO ONE has erected a statue to Ivan the Terrible: no tsar, no emperor, no general secretary, no president,”

Ivan reigned with an iron fist from 1547 to 1584. Here is a man who met resistance to his rule with swift and brutal action; a savage dictator who gladly ripped through the nobility and populace. He is responsible for initiating the Novgorod Massacre and is known to have killed his very own son. So, after reading all of this: why would anyone want to commemorate this man?

One reason as to why this country would want to honor such a savage tyrant is because of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who reportedly encourages a great reevaluation of his country’s history. This newly-enforced narrative won’t gloss over the violence and brutality of former regimes and dictators, but instead, will accept it as necessary actions in the nation’s past, whose intent was to improve the Russian state even if you have to get your hands dirty or soaked in blood. Even seemingly-inexcusable crimes ordered by Josef Stalin will be excused as a means to an end for a greater Russia.

Activists in Oryol had tried to block the creation of this Terrible statue, but their protests and any court attempts have all failed to stop this bloody czar of Russia’s past from appearing in the city of Oryol, just 225 miles south of the nation’s capital, Moscow. But people who were for the statue also showed up for the unveiling; Alexander Zaldostanov, the macho leader of the pro-Putin biker group Night Wolves, came to the event to show his support.



You may ask yourself: how could someone respect someone with the moniker of “Terrible” in their name? Well, that’s because in Russia this word doesn’t only have a negative connotation, but it also has a meaning, which is quite positive.  Terrible can mean “terrible,” but it can also mean “formidable.”

Vadim Potomsky, the regional governor of the Oryol Oblast, compared the Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to the infamous czar Ivan the Terrible. “We have a great, powerful president who has forced the whole world to respect and defer to Russia — just like Ivan the Terrible did in his time.”

But protesters of this statue have nothing but disdain for Ivan and for the officials who chose to honor him. Natalia Golenkova informed the Associated Press that one night she had been assaulted while walking home, where she was warned to immediately stop opposing the statue.

“Who was a fan of Ivan the Terrible? Stalin,” she said. “Tyrants love tyrants.”

Well, speaking of Stalin… His statues have been popping up in Russian cities as well. Publicly celebrating brutal dictators seems to be a reoccurring trend here (sound familiar anywhere else?). In early May of this year, 400 people showed up to the town of Ozrek in the Kabardino-Balkaria region to witness an unveiling of the great golden bust for this former Soviet dictator. A man known for mass death has been immortalized in gold.

But now, Russia has dipped its ink further back into their past, some hailing Russia’s former rulers as heroes of the state, atrocities and all, while others speak out and tell government officials to look into the mirror as “Tyrants love tyrants.”

Take a wild guess as to who was the victor in this slap contest. Was it the super jacked guy in a tank top? Or, was it the malnourished looking guy in a black shirt? Let’s go to the tape.

There would be no Cinderella stories today. Goddamn, that was a brutal slap to the side of the head. My ears are ringing just from watching that brain-rattling contact. If only the guy in the black had 100 more bandages on, he might have been able to pull off the upset. Real missed opportunity there.

It was nice that they had someone Johnny-on-the-spot to catch his lifeless ass, though. They laid him down gently like he was a toddler getting put down for a nap. You know it’s a problem when goddamn slap contests have a better concussion protocol than the NFL.

Here’s an example of how you learn from your mistakes and evolve as a sport. Take some notes, Roger, you deceitful scumbag.

University of Nevada Is The Softest School Ever For Cancelling ‘Sausage Party’ Screening

University of Nevada Sausage Fest

The University of Nevada was going to pull a serious bro move and show a free screening of Sausage Fest, the funniest movie I’ve seen in years… Until they pulled it from the schedule because of the softest reason ever.

The school’s student film committee decided that because of the one scene where a giant animated douche “rapes” a juice box, the movie shouldn’t be shown on campus. I don’t want to insult anyone’s intelligence by suggesting that this scene isn’t a “rape” scene because it clearly is. The whole “if you tell anyone about it, I’ll deny it bro” and then slapping away the juice box’s hand when it tries to stop the douche is 100% a reference to rape.

But this movie is animated, it’s over the top, and the douche ends up biting it in the end.

I am not a rape victim, but to me, removing this film from the list is just the softest move ever. Ultimately it’s committee’s decision to make, but I think that they’d be hard-pressed to find any movie that doesn’t have some sort of terrible moment or violence in it. Sh*t, I mean even Bambi had the mother die in cold blood.

If you haven’t seen the movie yet, I urge you to find a way to watch it legally this weekend. It’s incredible, crude, and so funny I guarantee you that you’ll listen to my next movie review. If you can’t wait until then, though, here’s the scene in question.

ESPN Baseball Writer Keith Law Demolishes Tim Tebow In Scathing Article

The odds were always against stacked Tim Tebow becoming a legitimate Major League Baseball prospect. After a decade away from the diamond, no amount of hard work, prayer and sexual abstinence was likely to turn him into a respectable baseball player.

But in case you were holding out hope that Tebow might add to his mythology by exceeding expectations for his baseball career, ESPN baseball writer Keith Law today published an ESPN Insider article today about Tebow’s baseball future that began, “Tim Tebow is in the Arizona Fall League. He might be better suited to playing in an Arizona high school league. His presence here is a farce, and he looks like an imposter pretending to have talent he does not possess.”

That was just the tip of the iceberg.  Other quotes from the scathing article include the following:

“His swing is long, and he wields the bat like someone who hasn’t played the sport in more than a decade, which he hasn’t.”

“In left field, his routes look like those of a wide receiver, although he managed to eventually make his way around to a fly ball in left.”

“The Mets’ decision to sign Tebow for $100,000 … was a craven, mercenary move befitting an independent-league team desperate for the added revenue from ticket sales, not something a major league team with postseason aspirations should be doing.”

“The Mets had to use one of their AFL roster slots to send Tebow here, and he’s playing 3-4 days a week — because this is a part-time job for him — in place of, well, players who can actually play.”

“This is all in service of adding jersey sales, but if MLB and the Mets were being honest about this, the front of Tebow’s jersey would say “Avarice” in Comic Sans.”

Absolutely roasted. This has the tone of an ESPN employee who was so fed up with his company’s infatuation with the former Heisman Trophy winner that he decided to try to nip the Tebow Mets hype in the bud before it got out of control.

The best part about this article is that Tebow remains an ESPN employee. So after his attempt at a baseball career fails like Keith Law seems to think it will, I’d love to see these guys’ surely awkward interactions on ESPN’s Bristol campus.

Then again, if Tebow actually turns out to be at least a passable minor league player in the aftermath of this article, then ESPN will be able to sell his baseball career as a success. Life is all about managing expectations, after all, so maybe that’s the thinking behind allowing an ESPN writer to take a sh*t all over Tebow.

Alex Trebek called Nerdcore fans ‘losers’ on Jeopardy and now is feeling their wrath.

I- like many others- had no idea what nerdcore hip hop was before I heard about this but I definitely had the exact same intuitive response as Trebek when Susan Cole explained that it was a subset “video games, science-fiction, [and] having a hard time meeting romantic partners.” The longtime Jeopardy host responded condescendingly, “losers,” and unintentionally started a war with the only group of people nerdier than Jeopardy viewers.

Check out nerdcore Mega Run’s hellacious response that ends with “suck it, Trebek.” This guy actually has pretty good flow and has be considering doing a nerdcore deep dive to see what it’s all about. I’m not going to do it though, because I’m a winner.

And WWE Tag Team Champion and unabashed nerd Xavier Woods- whose real name is Austin Creed- took the time to cut a promo standing up for nerdcore.

Let’s be honest, this casual putdown is exactly the type of publicity that nerdcore rappers have been dreaming of. Trebek is putting a spotlight on something that most people didn’t know existed. No one likes to be called a loser, but if you rap about having a hard time meeting romantic partners, you can’t be surprised when it happens.

 

 


Wisconsin Basketball Player Nigel Hayes Uses Clever College Gameday Sign To Criticize NCAA

College Gameday is famous for its hilarious signs by college students, but Wisconsin basketball star Nigel Hayes opted to use his sign to make a serious point.

With the Gameday crew in Madison for the #8 Badgers showdown with #2 Ohio State, the senior forward displayed the following sign:

The sign was a parody of a Gameday sign in September that read “Hi Mom! Send Beer Money” and gave the guy’s venmo account. That sign went viral and received hundreds of donations.



Hayes, who averaged 15.7 points as a junior, is hoping the sign will renew the conversation about whether the NCAA should pay college athletes in revenue-generating sports.

While I’m on the fence about whether NCAA athletes should be paid or if them getting to attend college on a full scholarship is sufficient compensation, I applaud Nigel Hayes for using his platform to make his views known.

Because NCAA athletes aren’t allowed to solicit money, Nigel Hayes gave a fake Venmo account. But he (and the lucky bastard with BrokeBadger1) are both receiving money.

A Los Angeles restaurant gun battle has left three people dead and 12 wounded early Saturday.

There were about 50 people inside the restaurant in the 2900 block of Rimpau Boulevard in the West Adams district in southwest Los Angeles when an argument broke out, according to a LA Times report citing Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Frank Preciado.

Three men left the restaurant and returned with firearms and began shooting at another group. Others at the restaurant also opened fire, and some diners were caught in the crossfire, Preciado told the LA Times.  He described the scene as  “a bloody scene with shell casings everywhere.”

The shooting continued in the driveway of the Jamaican restaurant, which is located in a converted house.

About 50 LAPD officers and a comparable amount of firefighters arrived onto the scene. The police took 2 people of interest- one man and one woman- into custody but remain looking for other suspects.

 

 

Quentin Groves Cause of Death: How Did The Former Auburn & NFL Defensive End Die

Former Auburn and NFL defensive end Quentin Groves died today at the age of 32 of a heart attack.

Groves, the all-time leader in sacks at Auburn, was diagnosed with the rare heart condition Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome at the 2008 NFL Combine before being selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome causes rapid heartbeats, and consequently Groves had what was described as a minor heart surgery between the Combine and the draft.

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a congenital heart defect, something you’re born with. From WebMD:

People with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome have an extra electrical pathway. It causes the abnormal heartbeats. And it could lead to a very serious arrhythmia called  supraventricular tachycardia. This is when the ventricles (the heart’s lower chambers) beat very quickly.

In his NFL career Groves spent time with the Jaguars, Raiders, Cardinals, Browns, Texans, Titans and Bills.

Groves is survived by his wife and two children.

Every week we bring you the best movie trailers Hollywood has to offer, and this week is no exception. Among the trailers this week is the second trailer to the upcoming Star Wars movie ‘Rogue One’, the Matt-Damon starring ‘The Great Wall’ and several other promising flicks. Watch the trailers and decide which movies you’ll want to see in theaters and which ones you’ll wait to stream at home.


Bleed For This

Hollywood has over the years given us a slew of fantastic boxing movies over the years, and Bleed for This looks like it’ll carry on that tradition. It’s a good time to be a 80’s middleweight apparently because not long after the Roberto Duran biopic Hands of Stone arrived in theaters, this Vinny Paz biopic starring Miles Teller follows suit. As you’ll see from the trailer, Paz was in a serious car accident during the prime of his career. I was skeptical Miles Teller would be able to play a realistic boxer, but from the looks of the trailer it seems like he pulled it off. Bleed for This hits theaters on November 18th, 2016.

Keanu Reeves has been in a lot of mediocre movies since The Matrix, but he was able to quiet his critics by giving perhaps the best performance of his career in John Wick. Now we have the trailer for John Wick: Chapter 2 and it looks like it might be the case where a sequel isn’t as good as the original.  Hopefully I’m wrong though, and we’ll get to find out on February 10th, 2017.


Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

It looks like Star Wars is going to pump out a bunch of movies over the next few years, and after the smashing success of The Force Awakens who can blame them? This is the movie everybody is going to be seeing this holiday season regardless of how it turns out, but at least from the trailer it does look like another incredible addition to the world’s most valuable movie franchise. You’ll be able to see it in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D on December 16th.


The Great Wall

The makers of this film already are catching some grief for starring the very white Matt Damon in a movie about the Great Wall of China. But Matt Damon is on the shortlist of best actors on the planet so I personally can overlook the whitewashing and enjoy him kicking ass in this intriguing-looking movie. The Great Wall will be released in theaters on February 17th, 2017.

Michael Orchard imaginary fire

(WNYT)

Michael Orchard showed extraordinary bravery on Thursday night when he saved a dog from a fire while high on LSD. Sure, he was hallucinating there be a fire, but you still have to commend him for putting his life on the line. It’s always better to save a pooch from an imaginary fire then to hold back because of the off-chance it’s all in your head.

From WNYT in Albany:

Troopers say 43-year-old Michael Orchard of Inglewood Drive told them he mixed LSD with cough medicine Thursday afternoon and they found him, standing heroically with a dog in his arms outside of what he thought was a giant inferno.

God bless your soul, Michael Orchard. The article continues:

[Orchard} went around the neighborhood banging on doors yelling about a fire. Since no one would help, because there was no fire. The animal lover took matters into his own hands to save the dog, allegedly driving his black BMW sedan through the fence. Troopers say once Orchard got through this fence with his vehicle, he got out, went up to the back door, smashed through it and went inside to save the family’s large white dog.

Despite his valiance, Orchard was charged with second degree burglary and third degree criminal mischief and put in county jail on $15,000 bail.

Unbelievable that his neighbors would snitch like that after he put his life on the line to save their pet.

And these cops need to mind their own damn business. Like they’ve never mistakenly broken into their neighbors’ house while hallucinating. Jeez, I thought this was America.
