Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » Guardian: Pretentious Moi? — Suffering With ‘Actor-Speak’

Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » Guardian: Pretentious Moi? — Suffering With ‘Actor-Speak’

This is a very funny article about the "non-skill" of "acting". It really mirrors what I have been thinking and saying recently. I am a big fan of movies in general, but I can't stand it when they act like acting is something more than it is.

FTA: “And, lo, they kept a-coming: there was “our craft” and “the journey one goes on”. To finish, actor Christine Baranski announced that “acting is like creating life”. Considering this comment came straight after the clip showing her in the sitcom Cybill, that seemed a pretty awesome claim. Shrieking onset at Cybill Shepherd v being God –I guess it’s six of one, half-dozen of the other. …"

I do have respect for actors and  some are definetly better than others. There has been a place for actors in human societies for thousands of years, just don't pretend like its a skill.  I recomend reading the entire article.

Military Surplus

I could look at sites like this all day.
ArmyNavyDeals.com is great.
Any place where I can buy, with just a few clicks; a machete, a gas mask, a parachute, a grenade, camping gear, and a canteen so I don't get thirsty while parachuting with a machete and wearing a gas mask; has got my approval.

Big Hollywood, Jews and Guns

This article discusses how the Jewish faith views guns, gun ownership and self defense and how these rights have been taken away by power hungry people and groups throughout Jewish history.
A few months ago the author wrote his first-hand account of being in LA during the rodney king riots. A strong line from the story is when they are trapped in a theater and people keep saying that the police will be there any minute, of course they don't come because they are overwhelmed. That story is linked within this article and should be read if someone has not seen it.

Friday and Fall

Valet is a good men's blog I read sometimes.  As with most fasion blogs and mags in general just because they say something is a trend or looks good doesn't mean it is or does.  That being said, here is some of the better essentials for fall they have featured recently:

Old Suits and Shirts?

I have some old suits I inherited that are waaay too big for me, some old shirts that have good plaid still but I will never wear again and some old blankets that are too dingy or worn to use anymore.  I was going to get rid of all these things until I came across these pictures of pillows made from various plaid material.  The site that listed them was selling them for $140 each.  Now Im going to have some $140 pillows for cheap, as long as I can find someone who knows who to sew.

The boot I will have very soon:

The Collection - The Montgomery Garrison




I have been watching their website for months for this boot and they are finally coming out this month! A great boot company making a great vintage style WWII combat boot that is good enough to wear anywhere. Its good to see more and more companies going into their history to remake the classics.

Preserving Freedom and Federalism: What's at Stake for Americans in the Health Care Debate

"Abstract: "Federalism" is no outdated concept. The founding fathers of the American Republic are the authors of a brilliant design of the distribution of political power between the national government and the states. Under the Constitution, the federal government is responsible for the general concerns of the republic; the state governments are the custodians of the people's trusts and are authorized to address their particular concerns. This is the essence of federalism -- and precisely what is under attack in the massive health care bills currently under consideration in Congress. Former U.S. Representative from Florida Thomas C. Feeney explains what is at stake for every American."

Hunting Slide Show at Men.Style.com?

Im not sure whats going on at GQ. Either, someone is getting fired for letting this slip through the cracks, or they are starting to wake up to what normal red-blooded Americans like to do.

Guns? Hunging clothes? Hunting trips? I have to give them credit though, they actually found some good, useful peices. Not too sure about the $600 gun case though.


Game on: GQ Hunting slide show



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The (New) Conservative Agenda: GQ Features on men.style.com

Stumbled upon a good feature on GQ's blog about two things that interest me, men's fashion and politics.
There are some great looking suits in the slide show, now I just need to win the lottery so I can buy them. The Glen Plaid is my favorite, might have to find a cheaper version of that one.

Guns and Skulls

A new post on the firearm blog about a new Remington ACR (Advanced Combat Rifle), which is a great looking and functional weapon system, had a video by the folks at Advanced Armament Corp who were showing the rifle and a silencer they are making for it.  But of course the first thing I notice is the t-shirts they are wearing in the video, skull and crossed rifles as bones, so I had to go check out what they had.  And I have to say, I will most likely be ordering 1 or 3 of these:


 
 

Any combination of skulls and guns and Im sold.
I might have to start reading their blog too, it looks pretty good.

Bobby Jindal - Some Republican Ideas for Health Care Reform - washingtonpost.com

Im trying not to make this a political blog, but I keep finding things I want to save for myself if nothing else. I keep hearing misinformation from the agenda media about certain sides are holding things up or don't want to help the country.

I think for the most part, as evidence by a previous article posted here, that most of our representatives are working more for themselves than for us, We The People. Thomas Jefferson argued for strict term limits because he believed that if being a representative became a life long career, they would cease to keep their constituents ideals at heart and work more toward their own re-election. We are firmly in that situation now.

Back to the point. Here are a list of Conservative ideas to reform the healthcare system, since they seem to be non-existent to the agenda media. A fact that also seems to be left out of the argument is that America already has the best healthcare in the world.

Super 80's Awesome Movie!

Can't wait for this.  It's probably going to be bad too, but bad in a super awesome 80's kind of way!
Just look at this line up:


We can only hope it will be in 3-D!

Congressional leaders fight against posting bills online | Washington Examiner

Congressional leaders fight against posting bills online | Washington Examiner

Shared via AddThis


Our so called 'representatives' are fighting a bill that would allow us to see the contents of the bills they are passing?!!! Time to throw out any and all who vote against this, they are obviously not working for We The People anymore. They are working hard to take power away from us, we should work just as hard to replace them with representative who do work for us!
