JP Morgan Pizza...Mmmmm...Mmmmm...

I guess with Wall Street under fire from the Big O some of these firms are realizing they need to further diversify their interests. In the case of JP Morgan their Chase banking division has gone into the Pizza business. I guess in a strange way this makes sense. They have locations all over New York & are if you break it down a cash business. Now, not only can you go to Chase to get a loan or money out of an ATM you can get some pizza. Now I'm not sure if it's pie only or if you can get it by the slice. I haven't actually seen it at any of the locations yet...but a girl in my building did have a personal size pizza with CHASE plastered all over it. I mean it's not like Chase would start advertising on Pizza boxes...right?!? You tried the rest...now bank with the best!

Please note...I bank with Chase, have done so for years & have been very happy with them. However, I would appreciate it if they stop buying out every single corner location in NYC for a branch making it impossible for small businesses to afford to start up in Manhattan. Make good solid loans to them....Let guys named Joey & John slap their names on pizza boxes...

ET...V?

Is there life out there among the stars...I would argue yes & I'm no Steve Hawkings. However, I don't think it takes a genius like Hawkings or an MIT mathematician to figure that considering how many stars we have identified http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/space/universe/galaxies-article.html that there is a good chance...that we are far from alone. Now while we would love to meet them...would they be friendly? Would like like to meet us...or eat us (Twilight Zone classic: To Serve Man...aliens come down...we get our hands on book...titled to serve man..turns out to be cookbook!)?

Hawking believes we are best off to hope they don't find us because most likely they would be out searching for resources & be more likely to take ours vs. giving us Healthcare & Unlimited Cold Fusion Pollution less power. He comes to this conclusion basing it on our past. Whether alien life forms would look anything like us, need our resources or think anything like us is anyone's guess.

I've always believed that aliens are out there & they travel among the stars as we travel around the planet. I think they observe places where they find life & most likely visit. Now if they are so advanced as to travel from star system to star system one thing would be fairly obvious to them about us. We are bloodthirsty killers & best to keep away from. They would have seen that from our ancestors...they would see it watching us now. So unless they have a way & desire to vaporise us & still get the resources they want...for the time being we are safe. If they do...we could be gone tomorrow & never know what hit us. If they are good natured...they would be smart enough to keep away from a bunch of stupid apes that would shoot whatever they had at them. If vicious...you may just get to meet a real live alien...right after he selects you off the menu & has you plucked out of the tank for his/her/it's dinner...

LA LAW:WALL ST SPECIAL EDITION

After a 20yr stretch for insider trading Gorden Gekko is back out on the street..Wall Street...of course that's just in the movies...in real life the NY courts showed us that it's not just in LA where celeutards can get away with crime. In all fairness I've always been a big fan Michael Douglas & an even bigger fan of his father Kirk. However, that doesn't give his spoiled rotten drug peddling son Cameron a free pass in life for dealing drugs. Not just using them...but selling them. Not just mostly harmless lets just legalize it & tax it weed but highly addictive Meth & Coke(not the highly addictive soda that makes us fat & destroys our teeth). If you or I dealt the drugs poor young (31)Cameron dealt we would get a minimum of 10yrs. He got 5 because a bunch of celebrities cried to the judge & he ratted out on the other dealers. Great message there for the rest of us.

Of course we should look at this from poor Cameron's point of view. Just imagine the horrors that he has had to deal with his entire life. A life growing up in mansions with not a want in the world. Never having or needing a job. Any toy as a child or adult without asking. Traveling the world, going to Hollywood premieres...the horror...the horror! Yes, there was growing up in the shadows of his Father & Grandfather...how was he able to deal with it?!? Then on top of that his Dad rubbing salt in the wound of his ego by marrying one of the most beautiful woman in the world Cathrine Zeta Jones...it most have been unbearable! Guess she had no friends for him.

Who wouldn't turn to drugs?!? Who wouldn't turn to dealing drugs?!? Who...just about anyone else you spoiled rotten shit! Sorry I have no mercy for a spoiled rotten brat born with a platinum spoon up his nose. It would be sad if he took to drugs himself for being so weak & fragile...but to sell drugs to others to add to their misery! What creates such a weak pathetic creature? Hollywood...or just being spoiled & never having anything expected of them. I'm sorry, I just have no mercy for people like Cameron. He had access to everything & choose to be a total screw-up & worse screw up further the lives of others. He shouldn't have received half the minimum he should have received double the minimum! The poor kid who grew up without a chance & without one or both parents... maybe if they showed promise... should maybe get some leniency...not some spoiled rotten Hollywood brat. Since I"m not much a fan of America's greatest action hero actor the one & only Shia I was close to not going to see the Wall St sequel as is. Now, sorry Mr. Douglas but I'm boycotting your movie. I know it will accomplish nothing...but it's my little message to you & the pathetic establishment that enables people like you & yours...

A Star is Born...Kicking A$$!!!

I laughed, I cried (from laughing so damn hard) I don't think Matt Vaughn could have made this movie better if he tried... I'll try as usual to keep this as Spoiler Free as possible. Please note this one is NOT for kids*! It more then earns it R rating between it's graphic violence, profanity, & sexual content(sorry...but no nudity...so yes you get to see blood but don't worry no nipples) The premise of the movie Kick Ass (based on the comic) is a regular geeky kid in High School ponders the thought why has no one ever dressed up as a Superhero to fight crime**. He decides to give it a try...with less then spectacular initial results. Turns out...he is not the only one who came up with the idea. Others...have been let's say more successful. No one has super-powers, so it's about as grounded in reality as it's gonna get with one possible exception...

Matt Vaughn does a great job of mixing the humour with the violence & tragedy. Not easily done but he does. You may know him from Layer Cake which is a movie I love & was a screen test for Craig to play Bond. Vaughn was a protege of Guy Richie but I think the student is becoming the master. I really think that after Sam Mendes does his take on Bond Vaughn & Craig need to re-unite...but I digress for once.

The action sequences in this movie are awesome, well choreographed, & I'm fairly confident like nothing you have ever quite seen...Great performances across the board. Nic Cage so needed this movie, Aaron Johnson the lead will be stealing roles from Toby & Jake soon, McLovin was pretty funny, Lyndsy Fonseca the female lead was great & she is oh so damn cute & hot! Mark Strong did a good job as the "bad guy" but it is young Chloe Moretz that steals the show from everyone! She was amazing!!! One of the best characters in a movie ever...I want the action figure! It could just be that she reminded me in certain ways of my niece. Cute, angelic looking...but with the Devil in her. I remember how when she was just learning to talk...how much she used to love to wake me up when I crashed over (or on the couch) my hitting me. My brother would say Jilly...soft...nice when you wake up Uncle Steve...she would reply..No...hard! & keep hitting me. Chloe's performance really conjured memories of the young actress in the classic movie Leon The Professional. You saw immediately the star power that little girl had. That little girl was Natalie Portman. Let's hope that Chloe follows in her footsteps both in her professional & personal life. Natalie has had a great career so far & is a class act in her personal life. The film does have some great lines on a certain celeb-retard who has not...

I don't think you need to like comics to like this movie, you just have to like action flicks & have a dark sense of humour. Of course if you do, then you will catch plenty of the comic references...everyone else will get all the POP references that include the you-tube-ification of our culture & video game influences. This one really is a must see...go see it...don't make me slap on my costume & deliver some whoop-ass on you!

*The guy sitting next to my friend was there with his 8-10yr old daughter...I can only give so much grief due to the fact my Dad used to bring my baby bro & I when we were even younger to Martial Arts & Cop flicks...but he would never have taken my sister his little girl...

** Actually there are some out there...a handful patrol Washington Sq Park confronting Drug Dealers http://www.reallifesuperheroes.org/archives/tag/dark-guardian

Geek Trivia question...Who is the actress that plays Ms. Amico(the bad guys wife) & what superheroine did she play on TV? See IMDB for answer... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000319/

Some Tea Alice?

While I am not referring to the Mad-Hatters tea party here, at the rate things are going lately it might as well be...feel free to insert your own choices of politicians & business leaders at the table...Having said that the Tea Party movement is picking up speed...regardless of if you are a fan or foe you may want to consider some quotes below...


"Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government. Whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights."

"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."


"Delay is preferable to error."



"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty".



"History, in general, only informs us of what bad government is".


These quotes belong to one Thomas Jefferson. He wrote them over 200 years ago. They sound like they were spoken yesterday. Is Thomas Jefferson the Great-Grandfather of the Tea Party movement? Would you call him a loon, a racist, a Nazi? It is our job to question government & for our government to properly inform us. Yes, there are matters of National Security that should be kept secret. However laws of the land should not be in 2,700 page bills that nobody can understand!!! Our officials are elected, not born into it. None of them are "The One" they are one of many. If they are not doing their job we can fire them. Regardless of your party affiliation keep that in mind this November. There are plenty on both sides of the aisle that need to go.
