Everything&Nothing: A Collection of Thoughts

I am a huge fan of anime so naturally when they started making Dragon Ball Z for consoles I was immediately intrigued. Obviously the game changed throughout the years which the addition storylines and characters that game had to evolve.  Eventually the game go to the Xenoverse version of the game which I enjoyed a lot. I enjoyed the game because it had a little bit of an open world feel to it, but it still had the traditional fighting genre feel. Same goes for Xenoverse 2, so when the newest one, Dragon Ball Z Kakarot, released I was again intrigued.  The Game was a disappointment When I first saw DBZ: Kakarot I the game play looked solid and the game overall looked like it was going to follow the traditional story arc, but what I didn't realize was that it changed from the fighting genre more to an open world RPG.  When I started the game up, I thought the initial phase of the game was like a tutorial which is why you couldn't go to the main menu, but after about 10 minu...

I like Matthew McConaughey. He seems like a good guy and he has been in several movies that I love, so his recent string of interviews have be really interesting and for the most part I haven't really heard him say anything to make me change my opinion of him. His recent interview with Russell Brand was interesting and what really caught my attention was their conversation about politics, specifically the 2020 election.  Brand makes a comment in which he says that he doesn't like to hear people say that others are stupid for voting for Brexit and Trump. To which McConaughey replies with his point of view about how it's hypocritical for people to expect Trump supporters to accept the results of the election when in 2016 people reacted much the same way when he won.  Essentially the conversation gets to a point where McConaughey suggests that people should reframe their conversations about politics in order to find a way to meet in the middle.  I didn't find anything over...

We all remember that one time JaVale McGee missed that wide open dunk and everyone knows he’s got 3 championship rings (2 with the Warriors and 1 with the Lakers), so it’s safe to say we all know about his basketball career's highs and lows, but did you know he’s a Grammy nominated music producer as well? Back in February of this year, JaVale McGee tweeted about a song he worked on with Justin Bieber. McGee helped write and produce the song ‘Available’ on Justin Bieber’s newest album Changes. McGee tweeted that 2020 is a year of growth and that it was a dream of his to be a music producer. Working with Justin Bieber isn’t his only dabble into the music business though. Back in April 2018, McGee released his own album entitled Pierre and in that following September he let it be known that he was working with one of his teammates at the time, Lonzo Ball, on some other music. McGee has said that keeping his basketball life and his music life separate is hard because on the one hand y...

If you haven't seen the Umbrella Academy on Netflix, you should. It's a really good show if you're into comic books and super heroes.  What is it? The Umbrella Academy is a show on Netflix about a group of children that were all born on the same day. A man named Sir Reginald Hargreeves, went around the world to find these children because they had special abilities. Out of the 43 children born that day, Hargreeves was able to obtain 7. He raised these children to harness theirs powers and work together to save the world.  Hargreeves is a hard man and seems very eccentric which translated into a poor father figure. The children had their disfunctions, but instead of helping them deal, Hargreeves would push them harder with training teaching them that those were just hard life moments.  One of the character with issues stemming from childhood traumas was Vanya. Hargreeves seemed to exclude her from the rest of the children making sure to let her know she was just average co...

  I have always been a huge Johnny Depp fan; to me the man is the epitome of cool. He has this swagger about him and I think for me when I watched Pirates of Caribbean for the first time it is when I really saw how cool he was. I mean, to be able to go from Edward Scissors hands to Jack the Pumpkin King to Jack Sparrow was just this awesome transformation through some of my favorite characters and then he was a freaking pirate! It's like how much cooler can this guy get?? You could almost go so far as to say I have a man crush on him. The dude is fashionable, trendy, a rock star, and a phenomenal actor, who doesn't have a crush on the man?? (You're a liar if you say you don't and I'll no discussion about it.)  "Alright, but what does that have to do with anything???" Right, glad you asked. I woke up this morning and I was lying in bed scrolling through my news feed when I saw an article about how the Animaniacs new season had a joke in there about Johnny D...

  I love stand-up comedy and Kevin Hart is one of my favorites, but last few specials kind of missed the mark for me. Don't get me wrong, I think he is a great stand-up comedian but his last few specials were kind of flat and while they were entertaining because it is after all Kevin Hart, they weren't as funny as some of his earlier stand-up specials.  I can't say I was overly excited to hear that Kevin Hart had a new special on Netflix, but within the first few minutes of the special, I could this one was different. The first thing you can tell is that he is a lot more comfortable which he attributes to doing the show in his home versus some large venue. That smaller more imitate feel really helped his storying telling and confidence. In some of his prior shows I felt like he was trying too hard to retool some of his older jokes to make them a little bit more broad audience friendly but in this special he actually takes time to address the changing relationship between fa...

Not gonna lie, I haven't seen Hubie Halloween and as I much as I don't want to, I know my curiosity will get the better of me because I do love old school Adam Sandler and I am hoping that he can either find something new that makes me excited to have seen it or at least make me feel like he isn't shameless money grabbing. I have followed Sandler's career since I first saw Big Daddy. Then I watch Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. Since those days I have seen every thing from Little Nicky to Uncut Gems and even Spanglish (F*cking loved it. Such an underrated movie) but most of his work sort of just feels like a shameless cash grab. Far be it from me to say that it is not hard work coming up with new fresh ideas. I know it's hard to please every one but at what point do you say maybe it's time for me to stop being the star and find someone else to play the leads in the movies I write? Sandler has always used essentially the same team to do his movies and I love tha...
