I.N.L.T.O.D Part III


3. Weeds, totally down hill.

4. Ben Stiller movies.

5. Boy bands. 
Jonas Brothers, I do not sweat you.

6. Robert Downey Jr. 
Uuuh that freakin' mustache! 


And let me be clear. These were things that I really enjoyed. Now it's like a world with no laughter. No more repetitive choruses with just a liiiiittle bit of mid-drift showing, and I'm talking about N'Sync not Britney.

On second thought, the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus do offer the same kinds of things as 1999 era Britney Spears and I guess the reason I'm not interested is their age. Which should be a red flag. Celebrities are getting younger and younger. Hasn't everyone heard about that 12-year old who blogs? 

Instead of eating our young we're going to be eaten by our young. I'm scared. 
 

It's not like the old days... II



2. Action movies
Out of all the best action movies — Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Speed — let's take one as a case study. Predator. Has Carl Weathers in it, Arnold Schwarzenegger covered in mud fighting aliens and Bill Duke shaves in the jungle without shaving cream. And if action movies are judged on a manly scale, which clearly they are, Predator totally owns today's action movies. 

Take this year's Jumper. Jamie Bell and Hayden Christensen are kind of cute, but is cute what we want in our action stars? I say no! Arnold would have ripped the ears off these teddy bears with his teeth! 

Action movies these days are just about skinny white guys getting with pretty girls. Look at him. He's wearing a peacoat for god's sake. Our generation needs deliverance.
