I can't wait for the Lego movie this weekend. Looks awesome

 

[rck3sactown]

I really want to see the Lego movie as well

 

[venom lyrix]

Lego movie is getting so much praise. Can't wait to see it

 

[macbk]

I'll definitely give the Lego movie a watch. Looks awesome .

HYPED to see that Jonah/Leo news on a new film.

 

[Master Zik]

I notice all of the new late night hosts have their own thing comedy wise; Fallon has his games which are fun and imo saved him through his awkward transition, Conan kinda started it all by being his weird loser nerdy self which wasn't the traditional stuff Leno and mostly Letterman gives you, and Craig does his whole mocking the entire format cuz he doesn't give a **** but I notice Kimmel goes hard on trying to benefit from internet vids.

Any cutesy funny America's funniest home videos type stuff he sees online he tries to capitalize on. I don't care for it much and it all seems like it has such a short shelf life and transparent. I don't care for it. He made out good with celebs reading hateful tweets about themselves but most of the other stuff is meh.

Just caught the latest series of Sherlock

Needs more of that mental sparring with Mycroft.

I'm tight I never got a mind palace. I heard about memory exercises and methods to visualize and better remember things when I was a kid but never stuck to it.

The end of the last case

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the Judge Dredd remake. It ended up being a decent popcorn flick. I'm expecting slightly better with this RoboCop remake because of the cast, especially Gary Oldman.

Interested in one of Matthew McCaonaughey's next project with Gus Van Zandt called Sea of Trees also to star Ken Watanabe. McCaonaughey plays someone that set to commit suicide in the Aokigahara Forest at the base of Mt Fuji which is an infamous place where people go to commit suicide in Japan.

Watanabe plays someone McCaonaughey finds in the forrest that is also trying to commit suicide but is having second thoughts... Sounds pretty existential...

Vice had a nice doc on the subject matter (suicides in the Aokigahara Forest)

so who knew about this?

[h2]Tim Allen was Arrested for Trafficking in 1978 and Almost Spent Life in Prison[/h2]

If you already knew Tim Allen had an awesome mustache  and was cuffed and stuffed for trafficking…then why  didn’t you tell me?

I can’t figure out if this is common knowledge or if I just happen to stumble upon a great Yahoo! article about where celebrities were when they were 25.  More than likely the former.  For Warren Buffet, he was an investment salesman for Buffett-Falk & Co in Nebraska.  Good old Mark Cuban was a bartender in Dallas and Martha Stewart had just quit her Wall Street job to be a stay at home mom.  A year later she started a catering company that did pretty  well.  All are good stories but Tim Allen’s really shocked me.

In 1978, when Tim Allen was 25 years old, he was detained at an airport in Michigan after he was found to be in the possession of a lot of cocaine.  The biggest problem for Allen was that he was in possession of over 650 grams of the Columbian bam bam.  As Michigan law stated, he was potentially going to prison for life for possessing a pound and half of cocaine.

The law was passed to teach people a lesson. Selling more than 650 grams of cocaine got you life in prison. They thought it would be a deterrent. It wasn’t. I was put in a holding cell with twenty other guys — we had to crap in the same crapper in the middle of the room — and I just told myself, I can’t do this for seven and a half years. I want to kill myself

Instead of spending the rest of his years in the joint, and subsequently depriving us of a major piece nostalgia, Allen agreed to roll over on the people he was associating with at the time of the arrest.  He wasn’t just giving up one or two people either.  Allen gave the names of 21 individuals who he had worked with to bring his sentence down to 5 years.  Allen claims that comedy saved his lifewhile in prison.

When I went to jail, reality hit so hard that it took my breath away, took my stance away, took my strength away. I was there buck naked, humiliated, sitting in my own crap and urine — this is a metaphor. My ego had run off. Your ego is the biggest coward.

That’s when the comic in me appeared. The comic said, “Have you ever killed yourself before? Do you know how it works? Let me tell you how it’s going to end up: You’re gonna get it wrong and end up hanging a few inches off the ground with your shirt just over your ears, going: ‘Oh, ****. Somebody help me …’ You’re gonna hang like an idiot for an hour with everybody just looking at you.” The image of my head straining with the shirt over my ears made me laugh. The comic in me showed up, the purest form, and saved my life.

After prison, Tim Allen **** dropped his last name and appeared on stage as just Tim Allen.  He crafted his routine around an inept man with power tools.  Sound familiar?  In 1991, 13 years after his arrest, we were all introduced to Home Improvement.

What if Allen didn’t roll over on those other guys?  We would have no Home Improvement, no Buzz Lightyear, no Jonathan Taylor Thomas and no AL BORLAND!  Seriously though, I feel like this is something I should have known about for a long time but I never came across it.  Perhaps that is exactly how Tim Allen would like it?  I wonder if there is a day that goes by where he doesn’t think about the guys he put in the clink…or…more importantly, are the guys in the clink thinking everyday about how Tim “The Toolman” Taylor put them away by snitching?

Meh... Was the movie going world really screaming out for another Jurassic Park?

Tim Allen looks like Thomas Jane's character from Boogie Nights.

[licensed to ball]

I failed miserably.

There were multiple layers of security.
Couldn't even get past the first line of defense.

To be honest it was so crowded i could barely see them as they were going in

I guess my dreams of chillin with Leo on a yacht sippin on Cristal, chillin with Sports Illustrated models will have to be put on hold
