Midweek entertainment report 8/20

A DMB founding member died, No Bigfoot in GA, We get two Hobbit movies and MLK's kids living off his dream.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's the midweek entertainment report!
CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP!

Sadly saxophonist LeRoi Moore of the Dave Matthews Band died from complications from a June All-terrain vehicle accident. He had been released from the hospital recently but apparently he took a turn for the worse and passed away last night. Terrible and sad. I saw DMB several times and he will be missed. I hope the band can stick together.

The Bigfoot finding in Clayton County, GA, turned out to be, wait for it, A HOAX. Shocker. Apparently a used car dealer (shady) and a cop (shady) "found" bigfoot frozen in ice and a few fools from California flew the two AND the hunk of ice out to the Left Coast to examine the find, but the ice melted and the losers from CAL figured out it was a rubber monkey suit. DID YOU REALLY THINK BIGFOOT WAS REAL? I am not trying to defend the two idiots from GA who gave the state YET ANOTHER BLACK EYE, but did the people from the supposedly intelligent state of Cali REALLY think that there was a Bigfoot? Maybe they were smoking a little too much of that hydro sticky icky icky. OOOOOOWEEE!

Apparently the slovenly director Peter Jackson (who forgot to tuck his shirt in at the Oscars a few years back. I am guessing he was using the shirttail as a napkin?) has decided to make The Hobbit by JRR Tolken (spelling?) in TWO movies. I guess King Kong zapped all of his money from LOTR and he realizes that in order to REMAKE the money, he will have to prey off the losers that dress up like elves and make the LOTR PrequelS. Oh well, it gives Roomie and Myself a chance to MST the two movies to aggravate Sean enough to cry like we did for that Two Towers movies that ripped off Neverending Story. But the funniest part of the story is that PJax "looked around" for some writers to come up with a screenplay before deciding that...HE HIMSELF would do the screenplays. Duh. Did you REALLY think a guy that shows up to the Oscars looking like he has just worn his tux to cut his grass would let someone else try and seize his glory? No, he would lose all his LARP cred if he did that. And if you don't know what LARP is, that's OK. You likely didn't go to GaTech. Live Action Role Play.

Finally, I saw that Dexter King, son of MLK,Jr. is suing his brother and sister have established foundations that compete with the MLK Center and then used the Center for personal gain. SHOCKER! From what we've seen from this family, they are JUST like Selena's survivors in that they have devoted their lives to "honor" the deceased person, but really just suck off that person all that they can. Hey kids, have you EVER thought of turning the foundation over to people who KNOW how to run foundations? Then you can go out and make a name for YOURSELF and have YOUR OWN LIFE!? But that wouldn't be the easy way out I guess. It's just easier to NOT do real work and pretend to care about what your dad stood for. Quit being shady about what you do and get real jobs. COME ON. If you REALLY want your dad's legacy to live on without getting sullied by your own petty acts, then let someone ELSE run his center. You know, someone who KNOWS how to properly honor his memory. And you kids try and live by the standards he set.

Thanks everybody and RIP LeRoi Moore.
