The Bradley Cooper/Louis C.K. Synchronicity

Tabloid Tableau

While waiting in line at the grocery store, you inevitably find yourself face to face with tabloid magazines.  I suppose you could always look the other direction and peruse the candy selection, but then you'll most likely end up buying some. The other day, one of the back covers of a popular magazine, "PEOPLE", caught my eye.

This is a 2012 'yearbook' collage.

Geriatric actor turned director yelling at an empty chair?

CHECK.

Blue haired big tittie pop star?

CHECK.

Child actress turned DUI enthusiast/probation collector?

CHECK.

Brad Pitt?

CHECK.

South Korean pop star doing a horse dance?

CHECK.

Screenshot from a movie where tweens & teenagers fight to the death?

CHECK.

Obese little girl known for eating melted butter 'n' ketchup?

CHECK.

Mass killer responsible for the death of 12 and injuring of 58 innocent people in a movie theater?

CHECK.

Are these sick fucks at 'People' really trying to tell us that deranged murderers go hand in hand with movie stars? Could that not, if only subconsciously, influence copy cats? Giving them some sort of false hope that if they also commit heinous crimes, they can be celebrities?

Bread & Butter

So I'm having a conversation with a friend, via texting.
I say, "...You can do that, if that's your bread and butter."
A phrase I don't use very often, but a good one none the less. Underrated even. Maybe. Kinda.
No more than 5 minutes later, while watching, "Return to Paradise" on Netflix, Joaquin Phoenix is
wheeling a janky bicycle up a hill.
His friends tell him to ditch the bike, in which Joaquin responds with,
"This is his last bike, that's his bread and butter."

Is Hollywood Spying On Me?

So let me tell you a little story.
A movie came out in 1990, when I was 4, called 'Kindergarten Cop'.

It starred this man:








The movie was about a cop going undercover as a kindergarten teacher in order to find a fugitive who was planning to reunite with his son.  The son being in this kindergarten class.

The boy's name was Dominic.
My name is Dominic.
We both had blonde hair and blue eyes and kind of looked alike.
His Mother in the film's name was Joyce.
My Mother's name is Joyce.
The movie also came out a year before I was to enter kindergarten.
Also, me and this kid had the same shirt.
