Mark Morrison Mondays

Wrestlemania 25 is over. I survived, got to know Houston, did some basic stuff. Houston was surprisingly a nice city, though I am using 'city' loosely. There was barely anything going on downtown and that was with WMXXV in town. I can't imagine what it's like when there is nothing else happening.

I'll post a short blog account of the whole weekend with the occasional picture today or tomorrow. I'm in the middle of moving and have no internet access. The fact that the Toyota Center doesn't let cameras with any sort of professional zoom lens in the building also made my picture account of the weekend sort of weak. I'll do my best.

That said, here's some enjoyment:

Black dude, named Grafite, scores a crazy goal. The exciting point here is that it's Germany and they are cheering for an African-American. The fact that any soccer fans anywhere are cheering for an African American is notable since soccer tends to be the most racist sport in the entire world. Grafite pulls some sick moves. The fact he scores the goal by kicking it behind his back is that much more insulting.

The 'Bruno' trailer came out this weekend. This is NSFW and you have to verify your age on youtube to watch it. Let's face it, if you don't already have an account on youtube, you are way to lazy and not cool. So this should be really simple for you.

The only thing cooler than "Running Man" with Arnold Schwareznegger is if it were an actual real-life thing. Thank God we have Ted Nugent for that. From Warming Glow, it seems that Ted Nugent is going to 'hunt' humans and teach them how to survive. If that isn't the coolest thing ever thought of, then Joan Rivers is gorgeous.

Phoenix performs "1901" on SNL. SNL wasn't funny, despite Seth Rogen hosting. Phoenix, was awesome though. Fader provides the evidence.

More Fader fun with Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Common, A-Trak, & Lady Gaga "I Poke Her Face". It's a pretty fun mash-up.

'Fast & The Furious 18' made over $72 million at the box office this weekend. That's total horseshit. Vin Diesel is a weirdo, Paul Walker is an awful actor, and those last two movies were carried by, among others, Tyrese. And it had the biggest opening in April...EVER. That shows you how many losers that think drifting and asian cars with lighting underneath the body are out there.

Lastly, here's the full Wrestlemania 25 report from 411mania. It was a great event, probably 85% of what WMXXV should have been. Taker/Michaels was incredible and so was the Hardy's match. Mickey Rourke also appeared. The lackluster ending between Randy Orton & Triple H probably left a lot to be desired. The show will spill out nicely over the next few months to set up the next series of WWE storylines.

Bonus: Here's Nicole Scherzinger getting ready to perform the opening @ WMXXV too.

Bonus: Here's a story from Filmwad about another Mickey Rourke role in the upcoming future. The great news is that Megan Fox is supposedly in this film too. This excites me.
