Housewarming / 4 Loco Party!

Posted by Regs

I know I have been talking about it for awhile, but I wanted to remind everyone that I will be having a little get together for all Kai's and lady kai's on Saturday April 2nd at my new house.

The 4 Locos will be free, anything else is BYOB. I have a large backyard so I will accept any cornhole boards. I will also be showing the basketball games as well.

I am thinking about having people over between 5 and 6, but that isn't set in stone.

My address is :

5569 Oakworth Place
Sanford, FL 32773

The best way to get here is 417 to Lake Mary Blvd, take a left on Ronald Reagan. Take a left on Hester (at the victory Baptist Church), Left on Myrtle, right into heatherwood subdivision, follow left to the address.

or

I4 to 434, take a right to Ronald Reagan, take a left on Ronald Reagan. Take Ronald Reagan to Hester (Victory Baptist Church), take a right followed by a left on Myrtle, right into Heatherwood, follow left to address.

I look forward to a fun and semi-wild time.

Will Zack Snyder ‘Sucker Punch’ The Man of Steel?

Posted by Koko

Other than personal dreams and fantasies, movies are a common and effortless escape from reality. And when a dream or fantasy is the direct subject of a film, the only bounds it can be held to is the limit of the creator’s imagination. In the case of Sucker Punch, it’s the imagination of director Zack Snyder that demonstrates just how deep the rabbit hole can go. This film however, is not only being surveyed as Snyder’s first original creation. It also holds the caveat as a possible blueprint for what anxious comic book fans can expect from his current and very high profile project Superman: Man of Steel, due for release in 2012.

In Sucker Punch, Emily Browning (The Uninvited, 2009) assumes the role of “Baby Doll,” a nickname given to the character inside her own fantasy. The real-world “Baby Doll” is hauled off to a 1950’s all-women insane asylum after being committed by her evil stepfather in an attempt to cover up his murder of “Baby Doll’s” younger sister. In the asylum, “Baby Doll” quickly learns that she has only five days to escape before the finishing piece of her stepfather’s plot arrives in the form of a doctor who specializes in lobotomies.

In order to cope with the hopelessness of her situation, “Baby Doll” breaks with reality, creating multiple fantasy worlds comprised of dangerous missions against stone samurais, zombie nazis and dragons, promising the ultimate reward of real-world freedom. Along the way she befriends some of the other inmates who unknowingly join “Baby Doll” in her delusional adventures.

Zack Snyder’s auteur has become one of the most recognizable in modern day film. His stamp of ultra stylization engulfs Sucker Punch perhaps even more than any other in his catalog. The pertinent difference with Sucker Punch though is that it’s Snyder’s premiere original story. Previously, Snyder had used his high contrast and hyperrealism only to bring adapted works to life such as Dawn of the Dead, 300, and Watchmen. And visually, Sucker Punch steps right in line with those films and provides all the oratory overload one can handle. Unfortunately, this time around Snyder did not have the rich story and character depth to help bring validity to his fantastic visionary talents. Snyder’s script is littered with two-dimensional characters, suffers from incredibly weak dialogue and is propelled by a non-cohesive story.

On the Superman front, fans would not be labeled as paranoid if Sucker Punch stood as the lone example of what to expect for the future of DC Comics’ flagship character. This not being the case, and Snyder’s past work categorically proving his ability to direct adaptations of stories laced with deep characters and strong plots, should provide devotees some solstice. Also in a recent interview with i09.com, Snyder further distinguished his past films from Man of Steel by explaining “ . . . I've said to the studio that this will probably be the most realistic Superman movie ever made. It takes place in the real world much more than [my previous films] . . . everything I've done up to this point really has the benefit of existing in a stylized world.”

Imagining a Zack Snyder film without his signature polish could be like biting into a cheeseburger and tasting pizza. Not necessarily bad, but at the very least bewildering. However, these comments from Snyder may bring elation for many fans of the "Big Blue Boy Scout" who have vehemently expressed their fear of a Superman film produced with little more substance than slow-motion action and a loud soundtrack.

Snyder’s Sucker Punch may be little more than predictable eye candy, but his perception and directing talents alone manage to salvage it into stimulating art. And considering the story for Man of Steel is written by consummate comic book screenwriter David S. Goyer, The Last Son of Krypton should have no trouble flying very high through the "super vision” of Zack Snyder.

I guess he really is a great student. And if you remember the scene when Miyagi was trying to teach him the driving punch and Daniel started to goof off, he did have some pretty fancy footwork up until Miyagi swept his leg.

The Not Ready for Prime Time Players

Posted by Koko

"This is painful for every single one of us to go through this, there are couple of guys crying in the locker room right now, it is not a matter of want." That’s the quote from Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra right after the Heat lost another tough game, this time a 1-point heartbreaker to the surging Chicago Bulls.

No matter what you may think about Spoelstra’s competency as a coach or his ability to lead a team that already has too many leaders, it is now painfully obvious that the Heat’s young coach is in dire need of a course in Media 101. How he could actually let those words leave his lips at a post-game press conference and not realize the reaction it would spur could be a very telling microcosm of Miami’s on-the-court woes as they try to fulfill their own prophesy.

It was crystal clear before the season began that Miami was excited and ready for a makeshift championship basketball team. They were ready for the superstars, they were ready for the around-the-clock coverage, and they were ready for a parade at the end of the season. However it is now clear the one thing they were surprisingly not ready for and are handling quite poorly is the amount of pressure boastfully requested by the Heat to begin with.

LeBron James set up the kindling with his “Decision” on ESPN, but the Heat organization is the one that struck the match when instead of holding a normal press conference to introduce the "Big 3," they decided to produce an episode of MTV’s “My Super Sweet Sixteen,” sans the birthday girl.

When a champion and consummate pillar of stability like Dwayne Wade can sink to a level of self-pity and utter, “Outside, the Miami Heat are exactly what everyone wanted, losing games. The world is better now since the Heat is losing,” it’s a sobering sign that this team can’t cash the checks they wrote in last year’s off-season.

The Miami Heat is currently in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference and is only 4 games out of 1st. It is not at all out of the realm of possibility that LeBron and Wade can figure out a solution to the teams close-out woes before the season ends and recapture the #2 spot or even take home court in the East altogether. And even if they do enter the playoffs as a #3 or #4 seed, it would be highly unwise for anyone to doubt the ability of a team to catch fire during a playoff run, especially one with so much talent on their roster.

Although what is undeniable right now is that Wade, James, and Bosh were not ready to support the weight of the world on their shoulders when they concocted this team during their tenure with USA Basketball. They will now have the opportunity to show the sports world just how much resiliency they can muster while trying to make good on an implied promise they may not have intended to make in the first place.
