Blart?

Ummmm, this is getting out of hand. I know there weren't really any big openings this weekend. Well never mind that, Notorious opened which should have been #1, at least its about something cool and you probably hear some sweet music. But no, a bunch of morons had to go and see "Paul Blart: Mall Cop". Really people? are you all buying the new Joaquin Phoenix album too? (apparently he's a rapper now in case you haven't heard: check out his sad skillz here, if thats not embarrassing enough, he busts @$$ after he's done rockin' da mic:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F_Ikksg40U).

This is related to something I discussed yesterday, about artists hitting it big and then they immediately become terrible. And I think a big part of the problem is that the same idiots who rushed out to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop this weekend, are the same ones who would be easily convinced that they should listen to a Joaquin hip-hop album. Two truths must be realized if we are ever to be brought back to salvation: #1 - Kevin James is not funny, he has never been funny, and while The King of Queens may remind you of yourself, and your boring regular life, its holding you back. You can do better than that. #2 - Joaquin Phoenix is not 'Hip-Hop', he's a rich, white, vegan actor with an ethnic sounding name and millions of dollars. He does not identify with the kids of today. Hmmmm, maybe I'm wrong, what do these kids watch now anyways?.... The Hills? Gossip Girl? The OC? I don't know, I don't have cable, but maybe thats the thing. Its all about being a rich white a-hole that was born into money....The Paris Hilton syndrome.

This is no good. When I was a kid, I wanted to be badass and hard-core like Guns-n-Roses, Tupac and Biggie. Guys who were tough, came from nothing, and worked their ass off to get to where they are.
