The Building Blocks of Mark Wahlberg's Block Building

For starters, I am dealing with the Marky Mark not Mark L. Walberg; although, I was a huge fan of him on “Russian Roulette.”

Here are four random moments in Mark Wahlberg’s chemical analysis, that will determine analytical things about his manly chemistry.

Only picking four……

The Lovely Bones
Jack Salmon



People who have read the book, told me this movie was terrible. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. One reason was the eerily striking performance of Stanley Tucci (former s/s award winner), and the other was the subtle grieving nature of Mark Wahlberg. This role had something so honest. He was a father in mourning, and he played that well, but also, there was an intriguing almost mystic quality about his character that he brought into the world(s).

The Italian Job
Charlie Croker



To be honest, I despised this film. I thought it was cocky and smug. I even created a word to describe it, “smocky.” I just felt it was so synthetic, and so many disagree with me, but Mark Wahlberg put on a character that was full of hot air.

Boogie Nights
Eddie Adams/ Dirk Diggler



When I took Business Writing at Edinboro, I pretended to write my project letters to Paul Thomas Anderson, who makes some awesome movies. He and MW went well together. This is a high floor for Mark Wahlberg, and if I called his character in the Italian Job hot air….this role was all HOT DOG. It had depth, and it had strength. He almost made every man on Earth seem incapable.

Fear
David MacCall


I saw this movie in 1998 or 1999. I was around 10 years old, and I knew nothing of the subject material. At the time I thought his freaked-out inner demon character was so righteous. I just remember being in awe of his bizarre madness. I saw it several years later as a teenager, and I didn’t really remember the same level of fascination, but I guess if I ever have to show a movie to preteens, it would be this one.

Other notes:
In 2013 he will star in the “The Brazilian Job,” which as many say sounds more like a wax.

More notes:

Unlike some, I enjoyed “The Other Guys” to an extent.
I did not enjoy him in “The Happening.”
“The Perfect Storm” could have been better.
I have never seen “Invincible” and many others.
He had an awesome scene at the end of “The Departed.”

QATFYG:
Who wants to throw around some more Mark Wahlberg moments?

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it...

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement ...

An Open Letter to the Actress: Milena Govich

Dear Milena Govich, Hey, how are you? What is up? Well, I assume you might get 5-7 fan letters a week, but I hope the glitter on my envelope stood out to you. In all seriousness, I have not been the most loyal fan of your filmography, but in the opening credits of the 2006 show, “Conviction,” I got to see you in your underwear. Ever since then, I have been one of your most active online stalkers (not a crime in all states I think). In the next letter, I promise to include an underwear photo for you, so we'll be even. Milena, I remember even back to the days when you worked on one of those other 200 Dick Wolf projects you did...what was the name of that show? “Law and Order.” Yes, that was it. You made history as playing the first female lead detective on the “Law and Order” original franchise for your role as Detective Cassidy. However, I will have to note your performance was strongly tainted when Chevy Chase guest-starred and gave you the nickname, “Detective Sugar-Tits.” At leas...
