Rumors and Speculations: The Stories Before The Story



Rumors and Specs!!! 

I wanted to start this new program with Sean on our YouTube channel because I know that it can be a lot of fun for us movie fans to guess what is to come in the next installment of our Beloved the universes. We go to the movies to escape reality and to become a part of something amazing. Even if we lead amazing lives ourselves or just punch a clock with a metal lunch kit and eat the same grilled cheese everyday,  there's something about the world of movies that we all have a connection to.


With the rise of the internet speculating and spreading rumors went hand-in-hand with the
click of a mouse. People love to tell their friends what they assume will happen with a sequel or an upcoming film that we know nothing about because we're not in the production team. Why do we do it? It's because of the characters, the story, the history? You name it, whether it's Spiderman or a regular movie like the eighties classic Clue. Fans love to be a part of the story before the story. We tell ourselves it would be amazing if this happened or it would be awesome if that bad guy did this. Sometimes were right sometimes we are way off. I personally do not like it when people pass off things they know nothing about as the truth. Nine times out of ten it's based on good hunches but if you have nothing to back it up from the actual creators of a film and you pass it off as fact then it's just clickbait and that's what's making things get weird.

Fanboys of all types of genre from westerns to comic book movies take things so personally and we become so ingrained in the development we feel like the purchase of a ticket entitle us to our demands to sway the director to bend to our will. Sometimes producers we'll listen to the fans and you'll see improvements or a switching of gears based on pure fear. We trick ourselves into thinking they're doing it for the fans. No they're doing it because they don't want to lose money. If movie Producers knew that they could put out anything and make a billion dollars even though it will enraged hardcore fans of that source material they would live in a world of pissed off fans happily.

If it doesn't make dollars it doesn't make sense, if that makes sense. Really you'll get writers and directors who listened to the fans and want to make calls and decisions based on the love of the history of a certain piece of material such as a comic book movie. Usually that is because the writer themselves or director are fans as well. Whether or not a movie producer listens to the fans or goes their own way something amazing still can happen when the movie begins. You can watch a movie that goes in a direction you never would have dreamed of and it can become the greatest thing you've ever seen. Sometimes our speculations and are rumors that we here and spread might not match at all what we get. And that's okay. Sometimes we get something better and sometimes we get something worse. Most of the time we get something somewhere in the middle.

This YouTube show called Rumors & Specs will be about speculating ourselves and discussing the rumors that surround. Because whether or not something could be spot-on or complete bull, it's still fun to say "what if". I hope you guys enjoy the show.

P.S. Did you hear that Spiderman might have his own cut scene at the end of civil war that would lead into his stand alone movie with Sony? I could be wrong but wouldn't that be cool? LOL

Rowdy Ronda Rousey Is The Current & Next Big Thing





I'll keep it just as short as Rowdy Ronda Rousey

did in the octagon.



This woman is the most dominating female version of Brock Lessner in ring image. If she became a WWE Super Star Paul Haymen would go nuts to become her Advocate in the Diva's division.



Come on Stephanie make it happen.

Entourage Movie Review: Same Old Boys with New Toys and more Drama

May Have To Jerk It!
You know you're in a bro movie when that's the first piece of dialog. delivered by Kevin Dillon (Johnny "Drama" Chase). The movie theater I was in only had me and three other people at 3 pm, bad omen?  I was a tad nervous to see that there was only three people in the theater, but then again, it was 3pm and I forgot the movie came out on Wednesday. I'm more afraid the movie wouldn't feel like the show or only felt like the TV show and not translate to the viewer new to the crew. by the time i saw my first naked lady just walking around just for the sake of, lets call it "art", all that went away. Let's do this!

Vince Got Married?Wow.
They really played the here's what we've been up to game right in the beginning, especially with Adrian Grenier (Vincent Chase). Some stuff I forgot about others brought me back to some of my favorite episodes. For the most part it was just filler so the none TV show watchers wouldn't be confused when certain people from the past made references. I thought it was quick and painless and made the movie move along so we could get into the meat of things.

Vince still searching for more out of life.
Just like every episode the main man want more. This time to be a director and take his art to the next level. Johnny drama still trying to get the world to take him seriously as an actor, while Kevin Connolly (Eric Murphy) is trying not to fall in love with the next woman he's dating after Sloan or the woman after than, typical.  Turtle (Jerry Ferrara), he's pretty much made it to the next level but won't tell anyone how high that level is, the best part of the movie.

King living under queens rules
Arie Gold is now the King. At first he seems calmer and more in control of his anger. Doesn't take too long to get the classic ranting of a crazy boss to remind you he'll always be a jerk and we'll always love him for doing it so well. 

Traditional opener
The movie kicked off with the theme song of the show. This time it showed parts of Hollywood with the names of the stars within key landmarks. It was a new take, but still fit with the traditional opener.

Finally got to see Viking Quest footage.
I've seen Johnny Drama in the costume but to see actual footage of Viking Quest, and  Johnny's Banana's was so awesome. It felt right. I was so curious what that stuff looked like. Even though it was just a taste I'm sure it was giving the fans what they probably was asking for even if it wasn't out loud. 
 
Sloane gone for six months
Eric and Sloane separated and preggers. Didn't like that but the explanation of why made me think "Damn Eric, didn't think you had it in you. He's too much of a nice guy to be that much of a jerk". I know they've had rocky roads but Sloane and Eric was a great fit. I could have had this done with them not having any of the drama but it didn't take me out of the story. It turned out to be one of the best ones. Especially when Eric has the biggest scare of his life happen to any man.



Stress Balls
We're bringing everything back. Even the theropy sessions in the marriage counseling with the Golds. You guys that watched the show know how much of a treat this was each and every time. This time we learn that pills to keep your anger in check keep you going all night long with the wife. Why are they still in need of theropy?






This Party Was Starting To Get Boring


Rhonda playing herself was a much better improvement than the performance she gave us in Furious 7. She was actually funny. The 60 second line was a killer. I've never seen her fight in UFC but if what she did to Turtle is any indication, Don't Mess With Rhonda!

6 Senses
Haely Joel Osment played  Travis McCredle son of Larsen played by Billy Bob Thorton. He worked out as the protagonist, although I don't know if his Texas accent really worked for me. It was good seeing in a film again. I know he took some time off and people said his career was over but I'm thinking comedy is going to be his nitch. I'm now curious to check out his other role in the film Sex Ed. He killed during the big party where Vince was going to give an advance screening of this movie. I thought that is a nice house that Vince has now. Surprised to find out it belong to Turtle. How much money does that guy have? All the celebs were there from Andrew Dice Clay to Jon Favreau. Evil Bob Saggot returns wanting Vince to do him a favor by playing interference for these two hot girls who say they went to school with his daughter, middle school. Of course they want to have sex with him. Maybe Saggot is not feeling well because I thought his character from the show would have done it.


I won't go any further. This movie was totally worth the money for a true Entourage fan. Its basically a remember these TV and movie stars who once appeared on the show kind of movie but it does still deliver a fun story. It won't be for everyone but it will defiantly not disappoint any fan of the show. It may even bring in enough to constitute a sequel. I'm just saying if we can get two Sex In The City's we can get a trilogy of this awesome group of guys and the tell of the girls they always get to bang. 

Go See It Bro's! 

Oh. . .Can someone tell me what I missed. I saw Common make an appearance in the movie but I didn't get why he needed that dramatic close up.
