The next Harry Potter movie was pushed back from Nov 2008 to Summer 2009…. WEAK!!!

That’s supposed to mean 3 and a half stars but to be honest it’s completely arbitrary… I don’t even have a real rating system so it isn’t even for certain if it’s out of 4 stars or 5 stars.  So here’s a better rating system-

Forgetting Sarah Marshall + Superbad > Knocked Up > Pineapple Express

I saw Pineapple Express last weekend because I wanted to see it opening weekend because I’m that guy that likes to see movies (& get albums) asap… but I wish I would have waited. I had a terrible toothache during the whole movie that forced me to get up a couple of times, which I hate doing during movies, so I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I normally would have.

I did like it though & thought it was good for a weed movie. A lot of parts seemed like they would be funnier if you were high but there were still enough laughs if you were sober. James Franco exceeded my expectations & Seth Rogen did his thing. All in all, it was entertaining but not Judd Apatow’s finest work.

(pretty clever title for this post huh?)

Seriously though… Eazy-E was my first favorite rapper. I vividly remember when a friend up the street introduced me to his music, along with N.W.A. It’s when I first fell in love with hip hop. This was back when I had to hide the tapes (ya tapes) from my mom & try to come up with logical explanations of why they were positive role models for me:-)

Unfortunately, he passed away way too soon (it would have been great to see him & Dr. Dre squash their beef & make music together again). However, the company he founded, Ruthless Records is still running strong and is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year… so big ups to them & Eazy’s wife for keeping the ship afloat!!

Seriously I didn’t think I would really get into the olympics this year but I drastically underestimated my love of competition…

Michael Phelps is an absolute beast!!!! …& he’s a fan of the homie Lil Wayne & hip hop.

Nastia Liukin is the ish & so is Shawn Johnson & even Alicia Sacramone (despite her misfortunes she has cute eyes & is a fan of hip hop, so she gets a pass).

…& China is really stuntin’ as a host nation. Unfortunately, I missed the opening ceremonies but I hear they were insane & you gotta love the showmanship.

…& the U.S.A. basketball team is actually doing what they’re supposed to do this year and demolishing the competition.

All in all it makes for a great olympics.
