Well, it's Black Friday. Whatever.
You know what Miss Marcus thinks about that?
If you went out to the shopping malls or big box stores late last night or early this morning to save a few bucks on a lame TV: You Lost. Straight up.
Why would you do that lame stuff?
All the deals are online, and it's not even Cyber Monday, yet.
For example, see some of the Black Friday Cell Phone Deals on the cell phone review blog.
Or just go look at Amazon Black Friday 2012 sales. You didn't even have to wait til Friday:
You know, or go to just about any other website 365 days a year and find a good deal. Don't waste your life standing in line with crazy people.

Top Movies of 1995
Yes, took a bit but here it is. Was hard to pick a top movie for this, the top 2 of this year especially go down in history as two of the greatest movies of all time. Others are cult classics, and others are just awesome no matter what people say. Here we go.
10. Batman Forever
Yes, Batman Forever is on the top 10 of the best of something list. I love, love Batman. Have my whole life. Before this movie came out I had it all. I got all the Batman Forever mini posters. The collectable mugs from McDonalds. The toys, the soundtrack, all of it. Then I saw the movie and holy crap was I confused. I was prepped for more Tim Burton dark Batman style stuff. So I forced myself to like this movie, even after I had it on laserdisc. After awhile like everyone else, I wound up hating it. But today, I don't mind it so much. Same with Batman and Robin. Because most people don't like at those two movies the same way I do. They're not full on continuations of the Burton movies. They are movie versions of the Adam West and Burt Ward 1960s Batman TV show. That is it. Plain and simple. Insanely cheesy and wacky. Goofy and fun. Rewatch them with that thought in mind, and you realize they're not as bad as people say. They are what they were supposed to be. Plus the soundtrack for both movies kicked major ass.
9. Friday
Another movie with a great soundtrack. The full on arrival of Chris Tucker. One of the funniest movies of all time that is still quoted by myself and others around me to this day. Of course most people who like this movie quote the popular ones all from Chris Tucker. Me? For some strange reason the one quote from this movie that is constantly said around here is "Man dats a female!" No idea why. Sadly, the sequels that followed were worthless.
8. Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight
I loved Tales From The Crypt. Used to watch it on Fox. Never got to see it on HBO so I missed out on the good stuff. However if and when Netflix gets their crap together and puts this series up on Netflix Instant I will throw a party for that occasion. He had been around for awhile at this point but this is the movie that instantly turned me into a Billy Zane fan. Too bad he wasn't in much that was that big afterwards. Except The Phantom.......yeesh.
7. Halloween 6: The Curse Of Michael Myers
Halloween. My favorite horror franchise out of them all. Freddy, Jason, Chucky, all great, but they all had their weakness. Myers? No weakness. Not afraid of water, or fire, or so small he could easily just be kicked across a room. Myers was a killing machine. Unstoppable. Yes the whole cult thing was weird and the thorn symbols and all that but still, this awesome. All real Halloween fans know that there is actually an entirely different version of this movie out there. The Producers Cut. But after the death of Donald Pleasance, they had to change things around since the ending set up everything for a 7th movie. It was never continued in the 7th though, 4 5 and 6 were kinda just forgotten in part 7. Which is OK. That one still kicked major ass. And again, the soundtrack was awesome for just one song and one song alone.
6. Bad Boys
This should just be the year of awesome movies with awesome soundtracks. No one main song, just the main theme music alone rules. Bad Boys kicked so much ass that I used to watch this movie every single day for a good couple weeks straight. No real length description or rant about this movie, it just rules. And is proof that somewhere deep inside, Michael Bay can give us greatness.
5. Desperado
Nice to meet you Robert Rodriguez. This is the movie that introduced me to the man. Revenge movies have always been my favorite. It is number 5, because it kicked more ass than Bad Boys. And of course, the soundtrack rocks.
4. Heavy Weights
Long before he became the powerhouse of comedy that he is known as today, this was the very first feature film written and produced by Judd Apatow. I know I just blew a couple minds away with that bit of trivia. Starring the fat kids from the Mighty Ducks. Ben Still. And some dude who is still known today as Lars. This was one of the funniest kids movies I had ever seen, and still remains as such to this day. This movie kinda kicked off movies starring kids that to this day remain hilarious. More trivia, the camp counselor Tim, would later go on to direct Bridesmaids. MIND BLOWER. PUT YOUR FAT FINGER DOWN!
3. Seven
Was never used to seeing movies that had an ending like this one. Most movies I saw the endings were pretty cool and simple. But this one. Holy crap. There are probably people out there who have never seen this, but good lord. All I can say is......SHATNER.
2. Toy Story
The rise of Pixar begins here. Toy Story. Nothing to really say about this, we all know it, we all love it. But did you know that Joss Whedon wrote the screenplay, and Steve Jobs was an executive producer?! DOUBLE MIND BLOWER!
1. Braveheart
People who follow this blog know our love for all things Mel. But this is hard to be argued with even against those who hate all things Mel. True, Pulp Fiction is my favorite, but do I consider it the greatest movie ever made? No. A lot of people are like that, they have their all time favorite but they also know that there are other movies that they consider to be the all time greatest movie ever made. To me, that all time great is Braveheart. Sit there and argue this. I don't care. It is the greatest movie ever made. Done.
10. Batman Forever
Yes, Batman Forever is on the top 10 of the best of something list. I love, love Batman. Have my whole life. Before this movie came out I had it all. I got all the Batman Forever mini posters.

First image from season 5 of Breaking Bad!
The image gives us nothing. It's Walt and Jessie, standing in a field. That is all. So why is this important? Because Breaking Bad is the best show currently on TV. This is a fact. And you can not argue this, so deal with it.
The new season starts July 15th. Less than 2 months. I also added a video below, if you have not watched Breaking Bad yet and plan to, do NOT watch that video. The video is just an epic montage of the entire show so far. So fantastic.

Dog the Bounty Hunter is Being Cancelled?!
I don't know quite know what to think of this since I was under the impression that Dog the Bounty Hunter was still one of THE top shows on A&E, but TMZ is reporting that the show is set to be cancelled. It's hard to believe the show has been on for 8 seasons, but now that I think about it I did start watching the show around 2005. "Creative differences" is the official word on the reason for cancellation, but any number of things could be the real cause.I've been off and on as far as keeping up with the show in recent years, as I started watching a few episodes this year but haven't kept up lately due to scheduling conflicts. I know they've been pushing a lot of family drama on the show but a lot of it comes across as contrived since the family ends up back together after a few episodes it seems. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's just how it seemed to me. I know back when the show was briefly taken off the air due to the conversation with Dog using the "N" word leaked a few years ago, many people were immediately ready to forgive and wanted "Dog" back on the air ASAP. If this is indeed the end, I'm predicting a lot of protesting going on from the hardcore Dog addicts (no pun intended.)
I got hooked into watching Dog years ago because he looked like a bad ass wrestler busting in and owning criminal asses. He's shown a softer side over the years, and is getting up there a bit in age, so maybe all of these factors are effecting the ratings. Somehow I still feel that this won't be the end for Duane"Dog" Chapman on TV, whether it be a 9th season on A&E or on another network. Do you think Dog's day is done and the show has ran its course? Or do you want to see 8 MORE seasons of "Dog the Bounty Hunter?"
Skyfall Trailer brings back some 007 Goodness!
I loved, loved, loved Casino Royale. Quantum of Solace was pretty eehhhhhh. But this looks like things get back on the track of ass kicking James Bond goodness. Check out the trailer below.
