Who with a What!!!

I must say that I am a fan of movies that have an in your face attitude when dealing with social and cultural temperament. Such as how Planet Terror deals with the ideas that we all live secret lives and are even effected by the secret lives of others. This is a reference to the exploitation films of the 70’s such as Coffy. Often times these films are presented in such a way that most don’t appreciate what is really being said. The latest diamond in the rough film that I am looking forward to viewing is no exception. Hobo With a Shotgun is a new movie written by newcomer Greg Guy, according to (IMDB, 2011). These types of movies seem to carry a tone of what some people feel society has become already. In this new film Rutger Hauer plays the vigilante Hobo that plans to clean up the streets with his shotgun. Early reviews call this movie bloody fun. However many have seen some of the scenes as too long, and never really developing the main character to the full his potential. The trailor below is from Filmschoolrejects



All in all I believe that people seeing this movie will not go to look for a message, or even expect to see a particularly well-written script. What most people will go to see is the gory action, and to release that urge to see things spiral into chaos. This film should be great fun for the moviegoer who does not expect too much, but can enjoy seeing a writer’s commentary on society, and also enjoys the occasional gory action film that seems to say nothing about anything in particular.

What is the future of televised sports

Sports have always been a source of entertainment for the masses. As we marvel at athletes and their amazing performances, I think to myself what the future of sports entertainment holds. We have always loved to see others fight and battle each other. Even from the ancient times, when emperors provided gladiators as entertainment for their subjects. It seems that the more brutal the sport the better. Now with a looming lock out of the NFL, Whatever will we do? I will tell you in three little letters WWE. This week the Georgia Dome plays host to WrestleMania 27, and as I sat thinking about the sport itself, I wondered how a sport that started in rented out halls, as an oddity has turned in to the billion-dollar industry that it is today. We have seen this industry explode from television to encompass video games to movies. So what does the future hold for sports entertainment? What will be the sport that we love to watch in the future? Many could make the argument that there will be no difference between organized sports and wrestling with it’s scripted story lines. As the sport becomes less about extraordinary talent and more about the brutality and the bottom line, who knows what the future will bring. Maybe we will have a new sport take shape that combines our blood lust to see each other do battle and our love affair with commercialism. Maybe we will see some new extreme sports like execs fighting each other for that new commercial account. Soon we may even have fans taking part more and more in the creation of their own teams. Who knows? Whatever the future holds for sports you can be sure that it will revolve around violence, or simulated acts of violence. The fact of the matter is that as long as people continue to tune in and spend their hard earned money, on entertainment that can cost upwards of 69 just for a couple of hours producers, programmers and writers will continue to manufacture the story lines of wrestling, and possibly other sports.
