A joke I like compliments of Comedy Central

Hollywood Lessons It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts: your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one, dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors. Honest and hard-working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before their retirement. All beds have special L-shaped sheets that reach the armpit level of a woman, but only the waist level of the man lying beside her. At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil. Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communications system of any invading alien society. All grocery bags contain at least one stick of French bread. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their arch enemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley systems, deadly gasses, lasers, and man-eating sharks, which will allow their captives at least a half-hour to escape. You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds. If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear. Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off, but luckily you'll always blindly choose to cut the right wire. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty. Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.

Runway Mania

Here is a little sample from Rock N Runway. Kenley gets a bit lippy with the judges. I am surprised that she has made it so far into it with her attitude. I guess that is because it does heighten the drama for the show.

The finale at Bryant Park is looming and I can say that I am getting really excited.

Runway Mania

Suede is Auf'd, um couldn't this have happened forever ago.... not only is he wierd but he never did anything that amazing. But I am getting ahead of myself.

The challenge which set up the final four was titled Rock N Runway where the designers created outfits based on a certain genre of music. Instead of models for this challenge, the designers used each other.

I think this challenge could have been so great but her is what we were left with.

Here Suede's losing Rock oufit got him the Heidi kiss of death.

Jerell's Pop design for Kenley looked like Amy Winehouse on crack (is that a contradiction?)

Leanne, my favorite, and pick for winner did a great job capturing country

Kenley definately dropped the ball with her Hip Hop look

Did Korto really deserve the win for this Punk inspired ensemble??

The next challenge had the designers find inspiratiion in the garden, where Kenley seemed to be more intrigued by the reptile life??? check it out.

So with all four designers set to compete in the finally, it looks like a Runway Finale to never forget.

Sorry For The Hiatus

Sorry for the delay in postings, I have had a busy week. Last week I went home to visit my family, it was my parents anniversary and I took them out to dinner. It was nice being back home for and visiting, especially this time of year when the seasons start to change..... but I digress.

First order of business the week in review (well the past two weeks actually).

America's Next Top Model:

Fierce Eyes: Eliminated: Isis - our favorite preop tranny has finally been eliminated.

Winner: Clark

Natural Beauty: Eliminated: Clark, guess the eyes weren't fierce enough

Winner: Samantha, from the bottom to the top

Top Design:

Bachelor Pads: couldn't live with Shazia's design

Zen Challenge: couldn't live with Teresa's design

So with Top Design what is better than the rooms the designers create is the outfits the judges wear, especially Kelly Wearstler. I mean the bitch can decorate a room but how about her decorating herself look at this crazy ensemble.

So I am guessing she was channeling Honey Combs, with that silly beehive???? And maybe she needs lighten up on the foundation!!! On the other hand their is the impeccable Johnathan Adler who is my style icon! Look how adorable he looks with this sweater/tie/shirt combo.I leave you now with new of an awesomeness only true nerds will understand, X-men Evolution is now available free at Marvel.com. here is just a small sampling.....

Bryan's Guide to Style

The 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards took place on Sunday September 21st.

Here is a roundup of my pics for the best and the worst dressed on the Red Carpet.

Best: Mariska Hargitay wearing Carolina Herrera
she always looks amazing and this year is no exception to that. The color is great and her hair is awesome too.

Best: Christina Applegate in Reem Acra

Love, love, love her she is so talented and funny and who would even guess she is recently recovered from breast cancer.

Best: Heidi Klum in Giorgio Armani Prive

Heidi always looks flawless and here she is wearing a great gown that will most likely usher in a great deal of new trends.

Best: Nicolette Sheridan in Angel Sanchez

I love Nicolette Sheridan always have ever since Knots Landing, and here she looks great purple is making a comeback! (and to delve into superhero world for a tick I think she would make an amazing Emma Frost)

Worst: Christian Siriano in ???

and those question marks sum it up, he just looks so bad, not to mention I still think that Jillian should have won "Runway" his year.

Worst: America Ferrera in vintage

makes her look short and a bit on the chubby side, she should know to watch for things like this she is a bigger girl

Worst: Eva Longoria-Parker in Marchesa

Eva always looks dazzling, but maybe she is just a too dazzling in this shiny number, which doesn't help her hide that "not so babyish" bump.

Watchmen: Chapters I-V

Recently, walking the aisles of Target, I noticed the little ditty you see below (the picture on the right that is). This, for those of you who do not know, is the cover to Watchmen, the acclaimed Graphic Novel by Alan Moore.

Within these pages lies the supposed greatest graphic novel of all time. Being a fan of all things nerdy (minus video games I know) and with the current status of being Point Park's resident expert on the subject, I decided it was time to pick up this "Holy Grail" of Superhero lore.

Upon first glance through, which I usually do with every graphically inclined medium I pick up, this book did not seem that different from any other comic I have read. These differences have faded fast. The writing for the story is phenomenal, the way Mr Moore weaves several plots together, while propelling the story forward is amazing.

The characters fall into your basic archetypes, yet they shatter the mold that they are placed into as you read further. The most compelling character in the mix is Dr Manhattan, who at first seems like typical hero, gaining his power through a freak accident, yet Moore describes relates the story of his origin through such an amazing and different way, all the while not losing the reader with complexity.

The artwork for the book is also great, the characters are shown to look human with imperfections very different from today's super buff, mega busty heroes. The coolest thing the artist (Dave Gibbons) does is the ever changing ink blot mask of Rorschach, the anti-hero of the book. Dr Manhattan again comes to forefront in this category in the sense that he is rarely shown to wear clothing yet the artist makes this seem almost natural.

With only the first five chapters under my belt I am pleasantly surprised. This book makes me even more excited for the movie, due out next year. If you click the link below you can see the trailer, which makes me even more exited to read the rest of the story.
