Good-bye 2008 here’s what I thought of the year in films, people and economy, if anyone cares?!
I am a movie nut so of course I went with major anticipation to be left thrilled by many and so disappointed by few…
The BEST of 2008 in my opinion not in any particular order:
- 21
- Appaloosa
- Eagle Eye
- Step Brothers
- Street Kings
- The Bank Job
- Body of Lies
- Bolt
- The Dark Knight
- The Day the Earth Stood Still
- Death Race
- Wanted
- Get Smart
- The House Bunny (Yes, it had some good moments, made me laugh)
- Iron Man
- The Rocker (Dumb but funny if you like stupid funny like I do)
- Miracle at Saint Anna
- Madagascar 2
The really bad ones, in my opinion:
- The Happening (So awful, OMG!)
- 88 Minutes (I was so disappointed)
- Burn After Reading (Why was that even made)
- Forgetting Sarah Marshall ( No scenes from the trailer, it was just so bad)
- The Mummy 3 (Ag! and I loved the first 2)
- Rambo 4 (2 & 3 were bad why was there a 4?)
- X-Files 2 The Movie ( I am a huge X-Files fan how could they insult us with that awful film)
Movies were the only thing that seemed to be bearable this past year as the economy fell apart. Gas prices crippled us as oil companies cashed in at all of our expense. Now it’s dropped and they are freaking out! Give me a break they made so much money off this past summer they can buy private Islands. Just proves that big oil and large corporations enjoy watching the public suffer and have to chose between food or gas to go to work to make a dollar. I give you a big kick in the ass for 2008! Big oil you nearly destroyed our economy! If you get your way you will!
Who else gets a kick in the ass from me for 2008:
- Bernard Madoff (Ripping off charities, God will deal with you!)
- Governor Rod Blagojevich (Is that a wig, and it’s time to go)
- Nancy Pelosi (Are you awake? It’s time for you to step down you’re just dumb!)
- Neil Cavuto of Fox Business News (Shut up, let your guest speak and your jokes aren’t funny! I did like your dynasty family sucks monologue, but that’s it!)
- Jessica Simpson (Your day has come and gone, who cares if you have a boyfriend, your lucky someone puts up with you!)
- Lindsey Lohan (You should be blackballed from Hollywood you spoiled whacked out brat!)
- Elisabeth Hasselbeck of The View (Just shut up, your just annoying!)
- Mark Cuban (You know I would not leave him off the idiot list! I am so glad we see so little of him these days!)
Borderlines, very close to getting a kick in the ass for 2008:
- Sarah Palin ( I once had respect for this woman but she’s so full of herself now, today when I got a email to buy my “Sarah Palin Calendar” I almost upchucked! Tone it down if you really want a chance in 2012) I ask how many future President have had calenders out prior to running, huh?
- Carolyn Kennedy (You are not Senator material, you are a women of class and highly respected don’t blow it getting in over your head!)
- Al Gore (Your trying to take credit for solving Global Warming and well, we haven’t yet, back off a little…)
- Brad Pitt & Angeline Jolie (Can we go through one day without hearing what saints you are.)
- Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes (Your drama is boring! Who cares if Katie has a new hair cut!)
I have to say I was impressed by a few this year:
- Laura Bush (She carried herself like Jackie Kennedy Onassis, I can only Hope Michelle Obama will follow her lead)
- Warren Buffet (He’s just a smart business man and a good person)
- Hilary Clinton (I am surprised she made my impressed list but in the end she is good for women and the future of women in politics)
- Michael Phelps (All I can say is WOW!!! You are a great athlete and hold yourself with grace and dignity. Congrats Michael! You worked hard and earned it the old fashion way!)
- Tiger Woods (Always a class act!)
Stupid decisions:
- Bail Out Bill aka TARP (LOL)
- Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Act (LOL)
- Automaker Bail Out (LOL)
Well that’s my wrap up of my thoughts on 2008. I bet I come back and add to it. These are just my thoughts but I know I left many things off both good and bad.
Happy New Year! May 2009 be better for all, it can’t get any worse then 2008, we can only go up from here!
