Review and Rant

Every now and then if I watch a movie or a new show I am going to give my opinion and last night a new show aired on NBC, Kings. 

 I don't know if anyone watched it but the premise of the show seems to be that a country possibly the United States is split into two countries at war with each other and there is a king in charge of one of the countries, possibly one in charge of the other but we are yet to know that.  The pilot episode basically gave us a little background of the birth of a kingdom and the war that has started since then.  

The cast seems to be solid, the main characters are Christopher Egan, I don't think he has been in anything even though he looks familiar and if he has been in anything lets be honest it obviously wasn't that good.  Next on the bill after the first episode is the King played by Ian McShane who most recently was in We Are Marshall.  Both actors are very good early in this show and I look forward to seeing where it goes from here.

I definitely recommend Kings, at least so far.  I know I will be watching at least the next few episodes and hope it continues to be solid.  Check it out and catch up on the first episode on NBC.com where you can watch the entire episode.  Or look on hulu.com where it is available.

Now onto a few rants from this weekend:

I went to the Syracuse game vs Louisville on Saturday which was the Big East Championship.  Unfortunately we lost, but that is not important to this rant. So after many beers it is time to make a trip to the bathroom.  I head into the bathroom where there are about 5 urinals, my friend also going to the bathroom takes one end and I naturally take the opposite end.  Next guy walks in and finds it necessary to take the urinal next to me....WHAT THE FUCK GUY!  Have some bathroom etiquette, you should take the middle urinal.  Why would you stand next to me, and I know many of you might think, it is a stadium a lot of people are going to be coming in, but this extends outside of a stadium.  This includes a bathroom anywhere.  You are supposed to have a one urinal distance between you and the next person.  Unless a severe circumstance or if all urinals and stalls are taken.  In which case then it is ok to post up next to someone else.  Men you are better than this if you are the person standing next to someone.  Grow up and know the rules.


Lastly on the weekend, I am a friendly guy, most people that know me would know this, but there are people that probably don't like me and same from here.  Now I am with my friend after the game on Saturday and we head to some bar when randomly some kid from school comes up to us and starts to chit chat with us.  First off I haven't had a conversation with this kid since freshman year and even though we hung out at the same places the other 3 years we never talked.  Why would you come up to us, both not really liking you and you obviously not liking us.  It isn't necessary, he came up to us.  If I haven't talked to you since freshman year I don't want to talk to you know.  Smile and nod no need for anything more.  That was a little harsh of a rant, let me rephrase, if I was friendly to you and you were friendly to me and for whatever reason we haven't talked in a while by all means I would love to catch up, but if I haven't talked to you in four years and was not very friendly with each other no need to start talking now....move on.

Before I go:

Yesterdays Movie Quote was Remember The Titans.

Todays Quote:"There's a time when a man needs to fight and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny's lost, the ship has sailed and that only a fool will continue. The truth is I've always been a fool."

Question of the Day:  Would you rather be the King (or Queen) or the Prince (or Princess)?
I know most say be the Prince cause one day you'll be the King, but fuck that I want to be the King.  Give me the crown and let me rule.

I am running a March Madness pool, it is $25.00 an entry and is being run through CBSsports.com, let me know if you want in.
