Casino Night

"Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha!" Every (Asian) child growing up during the late 80's and early 90's knows the phrase that made a dimwitted monkey child famous. A boy who collects 7 different pieces to make a wish. It seems pretty innocent.



'Dragonball: Evolution' butchered it all. I was channel surfing and came across the single star movie. Chow Yun Fat plays Muten Roshi, James Marsters plays Piccolo, Emmy Rossum plays Bulma, and ... Justin Chatwin plays Goku?!



There was some uproar over the cast selection, but I think they did a good job. Well, I guess if people never saw or heard of Dragonball, or know what real acting is like.. But Chatwin and Rossum have made up for their terrible performances in the new show 'Shameless'. The show is about a dysfuncional family with Rossum as the oldest sister/mom and Chatwin as the guy who chases after her. So far, so good. But to go back on track, Jamie Chung starred as Chi Chi in the live action movie. She must be a random Asian girl filling in for Goku's crush, right? Nope. She's starring in the most anticipated movie coming out this summer as Stu's fiance?!



Holy crap! What a transition from Heather Graham. No offense to her, but it's a huge switch with the movie taking place in Thailand, with Liam Neeson rumored to be a tattoo artist. Even Bill Clinton, the former president of the U.S., is making a cameo in the sequel. I hope Ed Helms doesn't fail to live up to the hype.



I enjoy watching The Office a lot. Andy Bernard's character was one of the most unique additions to the show. I would say the biggest loss had to be Karen. But I guess she had to leave in order for Jim and Pam to ever get together in their love story. I guess.



There have been some murmur in the news about Ricky Gervais, one of the original creators of the Office. I guess he shat on Hollywood at the Golden Globes this year and now has no intention of returning as the host. What a badass!



In other news, a recent study showed that alcohol ruins marriages. I guess we study things to re-affirm what we already know. Other times, not so much though. Smoking kills! But not as much as the government can! Why would you downsize police in a dangerous city? Slowly, we're setting up measures to keep the peace. I'm glad that people are able to learn from history and move forward with the bright future ahead of us!

I can't wait to go on vacation! The glass pyramid at the Louvre awaits.
