Lost Ending – Disappointed? Pure Stupidity

I wanted to start a hateful Facebook campaign concerning the stupidity and  the end of Lost. I did… but it got “lost” in the mix and firestorm of internet chatter in disappointment of the finale.

Get Lost

That show was some of the best TV I have ever seen. Unfortunately the producers must have decided that it was the last season, so, who cares?
A friend of mine made this observation right after the finale:
“Dude, If your anything like me, the “Light in the cave” was truly cringe inducing, I’ve got a totally easy way to explain that – All Jacob & Man in Black’s pseudo-mom had to say was… the light fell from the sky eons ago… boom, suddenly, it like is it from Heaven, is it extra-terrestrial?? Whoa! That light is heavy, not some freak-show mother nature new age feelgood light in a freaking hobbit hole”.
Hollywood continue to mix  spirituality and science fiction
Uh… Give us a break man.. They just don’t seem to do it very well.
Perhaps and  ending of  Hurley and Ben siting on the beach looking out at a passing ship would have been better.
Ben: One day I’m going to kill you.
Hurley: I know
LOST – The End.
The first 5 season’s where awesome. But the 6th. Thumbs down  🙁
Remember: “They are NOT in purgatory…We promise“..

The Shield a Violent Look at Dirty Cops.

The Shield on FX  is a violent look at dirty cops. I watched every show since stumbling upon it one night while channel surfing. I was a amazed at the level of violence and downright hard core action happening on TV.  Isn’t this regular TV?

Vic Mackey is a good cop/dirty cop with a “heart”..

Uh… Yeah… He seems  bent on fighting crime but also likes to reap the benefits of the criminals he fights against. Then, try’s to justify his behavior by “doing the right thing” for his kids, family and society…

He’s a rather twisted guy. But you gotta love em’

His side kick, Shane, is simply a dumbass.

What else can I say… How did that guy pass his police exam? He cares for his friend Vic deeply (he worships him?). But Vic is usually disappointed in  Shane. Shane just can’t seem to stay out of trouble.  Poor guy.

Then there is this  “gay” black cop.

He is also a Christian and attempts to suppress his gayness by going to church and being religious. This was an interesting story line when it first happened.  Then they  let his character drift off into obscurity. What happened?

The single chick that got pregnant during a fling with Vic. She hates him now and therefore is trying to keep him out of her Childs life. He just kept trying to be a father to the kid but she knew better.

Lastly there’s Dutch. He is a “regular” nerd cop with a big brain.

He’s the guy always getting picked on in school But he is smart and is able to make some big cases by his logic and placing himself in the mind of the criminal. His partner is became the chief of the police station she’s a good cop too but is always sick with lupus. Oh my..

Damn, I really got to know all those cats.

The show is long over but I kinda miss them guys.  Threating and beating up people. Robbing trains and double crossing and all that good police work.

It’s a dirty job but somebody’s gotta do it.

Check out some of the R-Rated Action

2 Reviews: Revolutionary Road & Taken

My bro Dean D. Gives his hip review of 2 movies. “Revolutionary Road” and “Taken”  Que em up at Netflix and see if ya agree 🙂

Revolutionary Road

Did you know American suburbanites of the 1950s were often

Taken to Revolutionary Road

desperately unhappy? It’s true.

Know what else?

People today are often desperately unhappy as well, and many, many of them are secular liberals. What’s to become of them?

The frustrating Sam Mendes directed this movie. It’s even worse than his “American Beauty and “Road to Perdition.” Not only is it dated and banal and leaden, it is also written in such a way that it’s impossible to care about the characters. Pity those poor American suburbanites.

Taken

For a suspenseful action flick, Taken, which pits Liam Neeson against sex-slave traders who have kidnapped his daughter, is inferior to the TV series, “24.” This doesn’t mean it isn’t exciting or well-made, though.

It’s both. However . . .

Most of the violence the criminals receive at Neeson’s hand they absolutely deserve. On the other hand, the film glorifies a murderer.

Did Jesus Die on a Cross?

You ever heard the story that Jesus really didn’t die on the cross? I was waiting outside this coffee shop one time and had this conversation:

Jesus

Hey, how’s it going?
Oh pretty good.. I’m blessed today. (me)
Blessed? You believe in Jesus don’t ya?
Well sure, Uh.. Yeah..
I don’t believe in Jesus.
Hmmm? Uh….
See.. I know what really happened.
You do??

Let me tell ya a story:

Those guys’ back then in Iraq. They were monk’s and stuff. They were good at meditating and could put themselves into a deep trance.  You know what I mean?

They would get so deeply into a trance that it would literally mimic death.

See, that’s what Jesus did.

When he saw the coming horrifing death he came up with this plan. He was a young dude and starting to get famous but he was tired of the limelight.  So when they nailed him up he started meditating…And went into a deep trance.

They thought he was dead.

They took him down off the cross and put him in that rich guy’s tomb. He was all part of the plan you see.

Now, the diciples didnt’ know what was up. When they discovered what had happened they met with Jesus over at Peter’s crib.

They told him:

Jesus, if you don’t get the heck out of town right now they are going to cut your freakin’ HEAD OFF!

They snuck him off to Somalia somewhere and hid him out. He slowly assimilated back into society there and lived out the rest of his years.

You ever heard a story like that?

Hey, I’m quoting his story almost verbatim. Sure I used a little creative license but I’m sure he wouldn’t mind.  It’s a strange world huh?

Hipster Dating Sites

Hipster dating sites! That would be the place where you meet all the hipster’s online for a groovy date.  You meet each other there. Hold cyber hands and think pure thoughts.

(I reach out and take your hand.)
Let’s go to a art show!

(Looking at you and smiling)
Rite-on, I think they have a new Constantine Andreou exhibit Link here

Think of the possibilities?

I'm In Like With You.

2 hipsters  hangin’ online. Sharing opinions on modern art, popular culture and the effects of dogmatic socialism.  It would be like a dream come true for all the hipsters down at the cyber cafe.

Well I was looking around and I found one.  www.hipsterdating.com

I didn’t bother  linking to it.

It’s a domain somebody own’s with a parked page with ad’s. Gee, why didn’t I think of that?  Sound’s like some easy money.

It worked, I clicked an ad.  Go figure.

Being a single dude I just have to contend with my now infamous POF profile.

I wish that site had stat’s for me to check. It would be interesting to know if my profile get’s more hits than the next guy.  Heck, I put all kind’s of work into it.   If I had put as much time into blogging as I did that site I’d probably be on the A-List for bloggers.

I’m thinking about adding a dating extension onto the Hip Opinion.

Like I said, Imagine the possibilities.

The Flintstones Theme Song

I like theme song’s for  TV show’s. They are  well written and very catchy. One of my fave’s is the song for The Flintstones.

I just like The Flintstone’s. Even the one with the silly alien that came to be their friend. The Great Gazoo  was his name… I think. He was always helping them out of trouble. Rather they wanted him to or not.

Anyways I was surfing the TV the other day and it happened to come on and I was checking out the theme song. I was following the the songs words.

Let’s ride with the family down the street.
thoo tha la da da la ca ta ta eet.

What? Uh I didn’t quite get that?

Throo tha la da da la ca ta ta eet.

It’s one of those song’s ya know?

I just can’t seem to make out the words. This has been an issue of mine my ENTIRE LIFE! Knowing a song well… But there is a lyric in it I just can’t make out…I’ll think about it for a minute. Then it goes away and I don’t think about it anymore.

Then I hear the song again!  I’m BACK.. What did he say?

Sure I could Google it. But what fun would that be?
(Heck) Couldn’t help myself. Wait, I found the original theme song.

New WordPress Theme installed.
Oh yes, my homey and computer mentor did the kid a favor and worked up this new theme for the Hip Opinion. It’s a theme that any hipster can dig.

That’s right. Don over at UILabs is a professional web and graphic’s designer (as well as programmer) has  come up with something I can finally be proud of . He makes a living working on computer and also doing side projects for many local companies for  Tulsa web design.  He owns the company 🙂

My adventures in finding a suitable theme has been driving me up the wall. How does a kid have time to blog when he’s so busy studying wordpress theme’s and trying to “make” them work..  Tired of it.

I’m still tweaking at as of writing this post but you get the idea… It’s looking good 🙂  FINALLY

Thanks Don at UILabs (User Interface Laboratories) for redesigning my blog. I’m moving to the next level… You know all the A-Lister’s recommend a “professional” theme… I got it…

Ti’s groovy

JJ Abrams – Star Trek Review

Enterprise NX-01 of Star Trek Enterprise
Image via Wikipedia

The original crew of the Starship Enterprise as young men and women is what we get from director J.J. Abrams and his writers in the ’09 “Star Trek,” a stirring adventure flick. Chris Pine (Jim Kirk) could use some charm and the plot could use a little less nonsense, but I thrilled at this-and-that–at some of Abrams’s action footage and the clever interaction between the Enterprise’s people.

The film is adeptly directed, edited, photographed and production-designed. It is a nice, fresh scene when Spock (Zachary Quinto) enters the ship elevator, then Uhura–Spock’s girlfriend! (Zoe Saldana)–enters, after which the dark-skinned officer sweetly comforts the quiet Vulcan now that evil Romulans have murdered his mother. Cropping up, too, are a couple of interesting images of planets being destroyed through implosion. Although lacking in charm, Pine is hardly uncompelling, while Quinto is merely okay. I’m not very assiduous about looking for cinematic sexism but, as often happens in movies, a woman–Saldana–gets half-naked for a brief while, but no man ever does. Maybe next time. Be that as it may, “ST” is almost as much fun as Abrams’s wacky TV series, “Lost.” As dramatic entertainment it means business. Permission to come on board.
