Ricky Gervais Vs The Golden Globes

When the Golden Globes aired this past Sunday Ricky Gervais came out swinging.

As much as people in Hollywood love to put out hits, it would appear that many of them can't take a punch, a punchline that is.
Gervais held nothing back as he threw out his best shots starting with a dig at Charlie Sheen right off the hop about his excessive drinking and the whole fiasco with the porn star. I mean really, Sheen's behaviour pretty much screams to get ribbed.
He continued on with shots at Ashton Kutcher's dad aka Bruce Willis who looked like he wanted to throw Gervais off the Nakatomi Plaza, Hans Gruber style when he came up to plug his movie Red.
Yippie Ki-yay British Joker!


I personally thought Gervais was right on point and for an out of shape British man I thought he did  a great job on taking on all the elephants in the room.

A lot of the crowd looked awkward and some really seemed to take the roast personally. I mean what were you expecting? I peronally am in Ricky's corner and don't think he did anything wrong.

Learn to take a joke Hollywood, even funny, former bad boy Robert Downey Jr seemed to have some thin skin at least in the defense of others. Next time he may have to wear his iron suit and be less sensitive.

All jokes aside there was some great triumphs that were even Fight Blog esque.

Christian Bale won for his best supporting role in The Fighter.

Robert Deniro was honored for his myriad of unforgettable roles....such as Jake Lamotta

And all good actors would get lost with out proper direction.
And the Golden Globe for best Director goes to......
David Fincher

Never take yourself too seriously!
You are not the elephant in the room!

Crimefighters go Green in 2011

Did Superman go to CreComm? Did he have a Professor V (Vogelsang)?
I mean he must have, in order to get Clark Kent's gig.
Vogelsang ( who although I think may be indebted to Peter Parker)  says we are all Supermen and women in training; thanks to CreComm, Superman can throw trucks and train cars at least 40 metres and apparently make some pretty tough deadlines to still keep his job while he juggles saving the world and wooing the girl.

While we are all getting great at being Super, no one did it quite as well as Christopher Reeve as  the convincing nice guy and force not to be reckoned with, as he stepped out on to the screen in 1978.

Over a span of 9 years audiences saw Superman become  more humanized through Reeve's portrayal.

This was the beginning of the growing trend in Comic book movies.

After Reeves donned the red cape for the last time in 1987, things went dark as we got to see things through the eyes of a bat in 1989.

After being played by three different  Hollywood leading men and going from black to whack.... a new letter donned the new millenium.

X became the new S!

 

 In 2000 a Mutant-ny began and since then we've seen a slew of webslingers

 A

Daredevil

War experiments gone bad....

Technology gone good....

So with this becoming one of the latest trends in movies these days every year we wait to see what next hero will emerge, and in 2011 Crimefighters go green....

 

Not quite...

Canadian boy Seth Rogan goes from fighting off the munchies in Pineapple Express to fighting off bad guys in the Green Hornet which is in theatres today. This movie got a half star review out of 4. Although I will still want to be the judge for myself,  I can expect that it is mostly gags and gadgets that make it mildly entertaining. This not-so dynamic duo has some big shoes to fill especially for Jay Chou who takes the role that once belonged to martial art legend  Bruce Lee.

Six months from now we can anticipate yet another Canadian Boy to bring green cheese to the screen.

Ryan Reynolds a boy from Van brings Wilder to his imagination as he wears the power ring and suits up as the Green Lantern.

                                                            

  Hornet                               Versus         Lantern 

                    

The Hornet has Kato with fists and feet of fury but Lantern has crime fighting skills wrapped around his finger.

After seeing both funny Canadian boys out of their comfort zone and literally in action I will do up a follow review as to what Canadian sell-out kicked more ass.

That's right sell out....two Maple Leaf Men playing American Heroes.....

What about this guy, eh?

I want you to tell me who is your hero???

One of the rules of Fight Blog is you must comment on Fight Blog

Putting on a mask and cape does not give you Super Powers.

You are not your fruity tights.

My Fights of the Week

Monday: Chadd VS Reality

Ding!  The bell rang on  December 10 th  as I fought to relax but like many I found myself on a working holiday. I danced around the ring as I fought to relax and avoid the uppercuts of responsibility. As I was just beginning to let down my guard and put up my feet. Reality sucker punched me to bring me back to it.
The next day would bring... ....

Tuesday: Out of our comfort zones and thrown into the rocky unfamilar, and new surroundings, you can yelp and howl about change all you want but it is best not to try and fight it.
Change is Chuck Norris!

It will knock you off your feet unless you stand your ground and embrace it.


Students Vs Bladder Control

Just as many of us thought we were fairing well in the fight against change, Bladder Control reared it's ugly head after a water main break at the school. 
Ding!
A win for for the Water Main and the students as school was called at a half day. The ones that needed a little more conditioning before embracing  change were relieved, while some were off to relieve themselves.

 Later that night.... the Under 17 World Hockey Championships Team Ontario fought the USA for a win.  




Whistles were blown sticks were raised, their were tears of pain and joy as Canada raised their cup in triumph!                                  





Wednesday: Fighting to get back into routine and.....

In term one messes were made that I need to clean up as I fight off anxiety and concern for what is on the horizon for term two. Holding myself back not to hit the panic button.

 Thursday:
Chadd Vs Bus driver
As the week began, I was about as sharp as a butter knife, not paying attention to all the small details, I thought I would get a jump on buying a bus pass on the Monday and went to Shoppers Drug Mart to do so. I showed my student card and and asked for one, little did I know that they sold me one for high school, perhaps it could be argued that my boyish charm might have made the cashier make such a mistake if one was not privy to the fact they do not sell them there, as I was not being primarily a self driven man, vehicular and otherwise.
I had to fight with the driver to let me stay on the after he called me on it. 

Chadd Vs The General Manager at SDM
Ding!
She threw the first punch. No refunds!
I jabbed back a few times with my wit and reasoning.
She threw in the towel, but I paid the price of an adult fare that is....

 I guess it's a better alternative than being out 

 PLUS.

 Friday:
Me Vs I Vs Myself

Like many I beat myself up more than any other as I fight through what challenges lie ahead I want to make sure that I'm not only dancing in the ring giving everything my best shot, but that me, myself is in my corner, being my own biggest fan.


We all must take pride and believe in ourselves while enjoying our up to date accomplishments.

 
You are not your anxieties!
You are not your past mediocrities!
