Save some cash, watch the OG movie — Bloodsport
6 Apr
After someone at our office nearly wasted their cash on the movie “12 Rounds” (until he found out it wasn’t about boxing and it starred WWE’s chunk of muscle, John Cena), we’d like to give everyone a recession-friendly (whatever that means) alternative to blowing a bunch of hard-earned loot on a sure-to-be-awful film, “Fighting.” If you haven’t seen the trailer, you can find it below.
Our request: If you must see a bad movie about people getting into fights, check out Jean-Claude Van Damme’s 1988 masterpiece, “Bloodsport” instead. By far, it’s one of the best films of JCVD’s lousy acting library (although “Timecop” is a close second on the list) and will surely be better than “Fighting.” That’s a Max guarantee. Would we lie?
Early guess: No Van Damme = no reason to bother seeing “Fighting.”
Inside the mind of The Max, part 7
31 MarHere’s the newest set of questions that have been occupying our every
thought. Let us know if you’re thinking what we’re thinking.
- Don’t you think Spring Training is about three weeks too long? Whaddya say we kick off pitchers and catchers around March 1 instead?
- Was anybody really rooting for Melky Cabrera to win the Yankees’ center field job?
- Is anybody else confused with the Heat retiring Alonzo Mourning’s number? In our mind, that’s akin to the Yankees hanging up Jason Giambi’s number, or the Knicks retiring Larry Johnson’s jersey.
- Is it rude of us to proclaim the NCAA Women’s Tournament as unwatchable?
- Is John Calipari the least likable NCAA coach right now? We’re hard-pressed to find somebody we dislike more.
- Why the heck didn’t Guitar Hero put Bob Knight in his signature sweater for this ad? That would have been funny:
The latest fashion disaster in sports
30 MarFrom wearing too much eye-black to sporting goofy pastel-colored shirts (Tiger!), some dudes just don’t have good sense when it comes to fashion. Pulling off the aforementioned while keeping your dignity intact can be a stretch, but there’s just no redeeming qualities to this blockhead’s tennis racquet hat.
Even Andre Agassi’s Def Leopard headband and floppy mullet were cooler than this guy!*
*On second thought, maybe not…
How is your NCAA bracket doing?
29 MarWe sincerely hope your NCAA picks are working out better than this guy’s… the Binghamton Bearcats, really? No, seriously — the Bearcats? Come on, pal.
Anyway, let us know how your brackets are doing, who’s taking it all and remember to check out Max Madness and vote for the best MLBlog.
