Stating the (Not-So) Obvious

If you watch that Michael Jackson special (that originally aired on Fox) I hear VH- 1 has been running into the ground, you may notice that Mike is wearing a wig. Not only that, but there’s a sharp complexion change right where his wig starts. Is Mike bald??? I don’t know, but cuz seems to have little to no hair when you really look.

Marvin Gaye is the illest! I was listening to a variety of Marvin’s body of work, when I came across the rendition of The Star Spangled Banner he did in ’83 at the NBA All- Star game. Son made the joint sexy. Never have I heard the national anthem sound sexy.

I told ya’ll back in 2002 that Twista was one of the greats in the Sound Committee’s list of the 15 greatest. Let’s see if my analysis holds up after this LP is on the market for a bit.

Aisha Tyler is damn sexy. I personally lost interest The 5th Wheel once she left. Although I didn’t miss the wardrobe they put on shorty. They seemed like they wanted her to be unattractive. Unfortunately, she is yet another would- be- wifey ™ that is red- shirted and ineligible due to marital status.

For those who do not know: Once Upon a Time in Mexico sucked! Do not spend your money on this DVD! Instead, you can cop the first two installment of the story in a double- pack for the same price. Yeah, yeah, Johhny Depp did his thing; but when does Johhny Depp not do his thing?

Charlize Theron is fly as hell. Wild she gets an oscar nod when she’s all made down…a la Monster. Shorty looked just like the lady she was portraying in the movie…scary resemblance.

The Rock is the next big action star. With Arnold becoming governor, and not having had a really good movie in ages…Vin Diesel’s acting ability and choice in scripts…and Sylvester Stallone refusing to let go of the tired gravelly mumble of Rocky/Rambo/Judge Dredd/Pick a Damn Movie…The Rock has absolutely no opposition. With a good debut in The Rundown, and a promising- looking follow up with Walking Tall due this spring, the Rock is set to be the next big kid on the block. It also doesn’t hurt that the Rock can actually act, which Arnold could never do and Vin can’t seem to do consistently (Stallone got an Oscar for Rocky I, and can act when he does straight up drama a la Copland).

Speaking of The Rundown; it featured my boy Ernie Reyes, Jr (the little kid in The Last Dragon & the 80’s tv show, Sidekicks) looking like ready to get back into Hollywood. Dunn may be able to give Jackie Chan and Jet Li a run for their money; son has always been nice with it. Since infancy son!
