The Adjustment Bureau
Romantic thriller with a brilliant metaphysical and religious twist-and the voice-over at the end captures it all:
'...Most people live life on the path we set for them-too afraid to set any other. But once in a while people like you come along and knock down all obstacles we put in your way. People who realise free will is a gift you'll never know how to use until you fight for it. I think that's the 'Chairman's' real plan....'
Basically, you can take the lemon life offers you or you can turn it into lemonade B-)
Another good flick! (Matt Damon and Emily Blunt had chemistry-they nailed that scene in the men's rest room!) It's only a matter of time before Matt Damon gets the acting Oscar his performances deserve.

10 Changes Mark Zuckerberg Really Should Have Made With Facebook
Labels:

Follow @ballistic70
Just had to share this very funny hit-the-nail-on-the-head post from (arguably) my favourite blogger- The Champ (Damon Young) of verysmartbrothas.com. Enjoy!
Like deez.
It’s been a couple weeks since Mark Zuckerberg’s seemingly random changes to Facebook left the entire nation in an extended pout. To quote Nat X, I haven’t seen that many white people upset since they canceled M.A.S.H. But, while it seemed like each of the hundreds of millions of Facebook users didn’t hesitate to express their displeasure, I, on the other hand, didn’t think he went far enough.
Here’s a few of the changes I’d enact if I were King Zuck for a day.
1. Extended Options for Relationship Statuses
While “single,” “in a relationship,” “it’s complicated,” and “married” are cool, they’re not descriptive enough to fully cover the myriad types of arrangements we find ourselves in. Wouldn’t it be great if you could actually say things like “Joan Jenkins is just getting unenthusiastic post-clubbing head from Bob Sanders” or “Rachel Sanders has been a virgin since March 26th” or “Craig Smith is a non-motherf*ckin factor in Kim Jones’ life“?
2. Filters for Friends and Family Members with Made up Middle Names
Since you can’t go around deleting and blocking your too-young-acting for 51 aunts and predicate felon cousins, how nice would it be if you could finally put all the people named Joy “BlackBarbieBitches” Williams and Frank “MaybackWang” James on their own separate list so all their bottle poppin, baby-momma drama, and anal rape of the English language can all be in the same place? You can even call it the Ratchet Reader.
3. Status Message Bullsh*t Detectors
Useful for when the next time the “urban socialite” on your friend’s list posts a “Just left Vegas. Next stop, dinner with Drake and Carol-Moseley Braun at the Congressional Black Caucus!” message, Facebook automatically responds with “N*gga, stop playin. You know you just left Bobby’s House of Naturals and Waffles in Youngstown, Ohio and the only reason you’re in D.C. this weekend is to suck John Wall’s d*ck”
4. Real Time Profile Pics
Incorporated whenever someone posts a super flattering picture that just happens to be 12 years old, the Real Time Profile Pic prompt will take details from your page — age, favorite movies, education level, etc — and extrapolate exactly what the person should look like today.
5. The Favorite Thing Aggregate Taste Rate
Instead of having to look through a person’s page to find out their favorite movies, shows, books, etc, there could just be one prompt at the top of the page that says something like “Don’t even bother f*cking looking at that depressing ass list. Their “taste” game is on E, and you should be ashamed that you’re considering dating them because of their profile pic.”
6. A “Dislike” Button
Long overdue, the dislike button would be my single favorite thing about Facebook. Hell, it might even be my single favorite thing about the internet. Seriously, I’d go on disliking sprees at night, trolling people’s pages for pics, messages, and posts to dislike the hell out of.
7. People I Just Don’t Want To Know
I wouldn’t even have to change anything except for the name of the existing People I Should Know sidebar. I mean, if we’re not friends already and we have 79 friends in common, isn’t People Whose Asses I Just Don’t Want To Know a more fitting place for you to be?
8. A Spam Susceptible Alert
Used to alert you to those internet use-deficient people who always manage to either spam your page with Cafe World logos or spread viruses.
9. The Clever Status Message Timer
If you’re a person like me who hates it when he’s thought of what seemed to be a perfectly clever status message, but no one actually replies to it because you posted it at a bad time (Lets just ignore the fact that it just could have been corny as hell too), the Clever Status Message Timer will let you know when’s the best time of the day to post it.
10. A Tag Taser
Easily the most expensive and potentially controversial of my suggestions, the Tag Taser would be a device that jumps out of the monitor and actually hits the people who are reckless with the pic tagging with a police taser. Now, I realize that the technology needed for this hasn’t actually been invented yet, but since we’re not doing the space program thing anymore, who’d have a problem with investing a couple trillion dollars into researching this? I know I wouldn't'

Chelsea's Kalou-moment of madness
Can someone tell me what Salomon Kalou was thinking of when he handled the ball in the box with a few minutes to go (in Chelsea's game against Valencia) today? There was no way Valencia was getting an equaliser in open play in that game. I can only blame the Gaffer for giving the nod to Kalou over Drogba in this instance. We were defending a 1-0 lead and you chose to bring in Kalou rather than Drogba-with 5 mins left!!. We all know the latter is awesome at defending set pieces and would have also been a bigger threat at the other end(compared to Kalou)
In the end our profligacy in front of goal- cost us this match :( (just like in the match at Old Trafford) We need to work on this.
Good News-Tevez suspended for the next 2 weeks by City-pending a review. It is the least the guy deserves for bringing the game into disrepute!

The Hangover 2-If it ain't broke...
The idea behind this sequel is similar to that of the initial flick-lads getting together before a wedding, spiked drinks, collective amnesia,utter mayhem, comic relief and a Mike Tyson cameo. Only this time it happened in Bangkok rather than Vegas. You know what? It worked!! :D If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Good flick! B-)
You need to watch the first part to really enjoy it, though

Tevez-a disgrace to the game!
'El Apache' refused to play
-when he was called upon by Mancini-in Man. City's 0-2 loss to Bayern, at the Allianz Arena earlier today. Apparently, he's still sulking at being left out of the first team. I'm not a fan of Mancini but you've got to respect the Gaffer!. Tevez's disgraceful behaviour is unacceptable! 
I hope the owners stand behind Mancini on this one. In my opinion, Tevez should never wear a City shirt again!! He's stuck with the club until the January transfer window. With this appalling behaviour, who's going to buy him anyway?
Also, thumbs down to Edin Dzeko -for giving a sarcastic thumbs up to his Manager after been substituted! :( What's wrong with the overbloated egos in that club? Who is Dzeko and what has he achieved in football?

Just saw Bridesmaids-aah! what a breath of fresh air in the romcom genre. The plot is unusual but brilliant-with characters we can identify with (because we know people like these in our day-to-day lives). Superb chick flick, a romcom with a difference!

It appears as if it is for both Samuel Eto'o and though :) Otherwise, how can you explain their baffling moves to football obscurity-perhaps more pertinent in Gyan' case ( at least Eto'o has won everything in football bar the World Cup)

Manchester clubs-raising the bar in the Premiership
Man U and Man City are really showing all comers how to do it in the Premiership this season. Both have won all their matches so far-putting in stunning performances in the process. It remains to be seen if such high standards can be maintained. First real test for Man U: against Chelsea next weekend.

Just watched Source Code starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Preposterous but brilliant! . You've just got to doff your hat to the scriptwriters. What must be going on in their warped but clever minds!
Using the brain's last 8 minutes of life to affect events in an alternate timeline. Ingenious! B-)

John Boyega-Nigeria's Own
British-Nigerian actor, John Boyega-put in a stand out performance as Moses in Attack the Block (May 2011)-a funny, frightening action adventure movie. John kinda looks a bit like a young Denzel Washington too!
I hope he gets the roles to make him as great as his illustrious lookalike. His next project is with Spike Lee/Mike Tyson in the boxing drama, Da Brick. Y'all need to go see Attack the Block- if you've not already(particularly if you live in Britain). You'll identify with the mannerisms of the London youths. Great flick

Jada Pinkett-Smith is renowned for playing hot steamy scenes in movies-remember Jason's Lyrics and Set it Off?. But that was before Mr Smith (and 2 kids) came into the picture.
Did 'life imitate art' following this steamy scene with Marc Anthony in (the now canned) Hawthorne?; and was this responsible for the rumoured rift in her marriage with Will?
