Who Ya Got
Last week, I started a new thing with the Who Ya Got lists. I’m going to throw out one or two lists each Friday in a weak, obvious and desperate attempt to stir up some debate.
This week? Time Travel. Movies. Not sure why this topic came to me but hey, it ain’t a bad one.
#5: Timecop. Damn right we’re going to open with Jean Claude Van Damme. Haven’t seen this since, well, 1994, but I imagine it holds up, right?
#4: 12 Monkeys.
#3: Terminator 2. Here’s the one rule for this list, no repeats for a franchise. Sure, Terminator should be right up here, but I wanted to only go with one from a series. And, I like Terminator 2 more. But, yeah.
#2: Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. This is simple. Maybe you could flip this and Terminator 2, but, you’d be a little crazy. Please welcome the very excellent barbarian….GENGHIS KHAN!!!
#1: Back to the Future. Obvious. Went with this one over two, almost leaned to the second, but more Huey Lewis in the first. Can’t go wrong either way, so might as well go a little more classic.
Who Ya Got?
mmm, fresh fake buttery popcorn!
Saw this post yesterday on top movie twist endings. Decided to pick out my five favorite.
#5: The Game: First time I saw this movie, it was something like 3am, TBS and I had some shit to do to get up in the morning, but this thing brought me in and hooked me. Ending was solid all around.
#4: Arlington Road: Giving this movie some dap because the ending was ambitious as hell and just not done enough in movies.
#3: The Usual Suspects: Okay, I’m putting this lower, but have to admit, this likely is not an honest assessment. This is the only movie of my five that I actually own on DVD and so I’ve seen it way too many times. Still, it’s clearly bad ass and likely should be #1.
#2: Primal Fear: Good movie, great ending. Ed Norton did a great job acting in this movie. (Most fun twist with Ed Norton: The Score where Bob DeNiro leaves him looking foolish)
#1: Se7en: What’s in the box? I don’t like this movie. Very overrated as a movie. Still, every time it’s on, I’m in until the end just to see this thing finish again.
So, Who Ya Got?
Look out, Jeter; I wanna be sexiest BB player this year! But I won't do Madonna. I have standards.
So, here’s a new thing I’m going to introduce. Who Ya Got Friday. Simple. It’s a list of five or so in a given category. I like to start fights, so why not try that here?
First list? Best pitcher in Major League Baseball. The reason for this list is that this week the Toronto Blue Jays said they would listen for trade offers on their best pitcher, Roy Halladay. Sports to start the day, and since most of the readers here are not sports oriented, we’ll close the day with a movie related list.
#5: Zack Grienke: Kid straight up dominated the first part of the season. He has come back down to earth a bit, but he makes this list because he could legit be in the top 2 on a list like this for years to come.
#4: Johan Santana: Has hit some speed bumps this season, but let’s face it, his team is garbage and it has to wear on you emotionally to go through the crap the Mets are going through with this year.
#3: Roy Halladay: This might shock some, so I tell you what, red on to figure out who is taking down Doc! Continue reading
