Weekly Update:
On Tuesday I went to the premiere of the Starz show "Spartacus: War of the Damned" as they launch the new and final season of the series. I didn't stay to watch the premiere episode but I did manage to grab some pics with some folks:*Joel McHale - from "The Soup" and "Community" and a pretty cool guy.
*Simon Merrells - From the movie "Wolfman" and an OK guy.
*Daniel Feuerriegel - From "Spartacus" and SUPER nice guy.
*Barry Duffield - also from the show and really cool guy.
*Viva Bianca - from the show as well and incredibly sweet.
*Peter Mensah - from the show and both tall and cool guy.
*Manu Bennett - from the show and loves his fans!! So accommodating.
*Dustin Clare - from the show and a pretty nice guy.
*Lucy Lawless - from the show but of "Xena" fame and nice.
*Liam McIntyre - Star of the show and a really cool guy.
Then on Wednesday I attended the premiere for "Movie 43" which was ... odd. But the party was pretty awesome as it was at Madame Tussuad's. It was both very cool and very creepy as I kept thinking people were staring at me at out of the corner of my eye! But while there, grab some pics with folks:
*Zen Gesner - known best from "Shallow Hal" and a super nice guy.
*Will Sasso - MadTV and "Three Stooges" and a nice guy.
*Michael Lerner - I know him best from "Elf" and an OK guy.
*Brett Davern - from the show "Awkward" and a great guy.
*Patrick Muldoon - from "Starship Troopers" and a super nice guy.
*Patrick Warburton - from "The Tick" and "Seinfeld" and a nice guy.
At the movies:No surprise again at the #1 spot this weekend for the box office as the new storybook heroes take the crown, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters pulls in a decent 19 million. Standard drop to #2 is "Mama" with another 12.9 mil, just sigh of 50 mil but I am sure it will get there within the next day or two. Small drop to #3 is "The Silver Linings Playbook" with an additional 10 mil. Also slight drop to #4 is "Zero Dark Thirty" with 9.8 mil more as it closes in closer to 100 mil but I think it will end up just shy of that number. Rounding off the top 5 is the new action film Parker with only 7 mil to open.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as the very disappointing "comedy" Movie 43 opens to just 5 mil. This number is pretty sad considering the amount of amazing talent in it.
Quote of the week:
"The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have to complain. I'm going to press on." - Barak Obama
Here is a list from Forbes.com that took research from TomTom navigation on the 10 most traffic-congested cities in North America, most (if not all) is not surprising. #10) Chicago, IL - residents can expect on average 24% longer to getting where they want to go. Public transportation is really good in this city though having experienced it first hand. #9) Montreal - Like Chicago, they spend the same amount of time in traffic. #8) San Jose, CA - They spend 25% more time in their car. #7) New Orleans, LA - Same as San Jose and I would think the traffic is more due to the sheer number of people walking around. #6) Toronto - 26% for them as this is probably one of their most populated city. #5) Seattle, WA - in the wet city, they spend on average 27% #4) Honolulu, HI - being stuck on an island, they average 31% but how much of that is tourist from around the world? #3) San Francisco, CA - spend about 33% but the city is narrow and roads are tight. #2) Vancouver - 34% longer in traffic as this city keeps growing and growing. #1) Los Angeles, CA (pictured) - no surprise here as we spend 34% longer in our cars but in our defense, the past 2 or 3 years have faced a lot of construction that is supposed to alleviate the traffic when it is done ... which I think by the time it is done, they will need to redo it again!
Facts & Tips:Before mercury, brandy was used to fill thermometers.
"Well you are only half right, apparently you need me but it's not going to happen. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. And don't worry about mama and I, we'll muttle through somehow. Just finish your drink and get the hell out of here." - Patrick Duffy as Bobby Ewing in the TV series "Dallas."
