Fine Dining at the Getty.
[bay scallops pasta - photo via Jenny C.]
I never dined at the Getty previously thinking that it was some lame overpriced cafe style restaurant with mediocre food. Much like the restaurants at Disneyland or any public attraction. I was wrong. If I was an older Brentwood cougar, i’d dine here with my Sex and the City girlfriends all the time. This had all the makings of a perfect...
MJ had neverland. R. Kelly has Raging Waters.
Yes, I know what you’re thinking. You’re looking up reviews and reading ‘em twice asking yourself, why am I even considering coming here? Yes, i too fought long and hard about going to a hotel pool instead. But in the end, what’s a leisurely Sunday at Viceroy sipping mint mojitos when you can go down 30 mph on a 7 story foot slide and maybe catch a mouthful of adolescent...

Bay Cities Deli. Best meatball sub ever.
[via Mike l. of yelp]
It’s official. It doesn’t matter what time of day it is. Whether it’s the midweek lunchtime crunch or the lazy weekend, Bay Cities is a madhouse. It’s like standing in a pack of starving spider monkeys. Know what you want to order. This isn’t Subway. There’s no time for you to stand around and debate whether you want peppercinis or not....

Air Conditioned Supper Club. Strange.
Standing in line for a Soul/Funk show at A/C Supper Club proved to be the best people watching I have ever seen. The people coming out of the comedy show made me question whether I was in Venice or Corona. Have you ever wanted to date an inbred redneck (is that redundant?) who may or may not be cooking crystal meth in his basement?

Inglourious Basterds.
Hold the lights. Stop the explosions. Inglourious Basterds reminds you that it takes more than smokes and mirrors to create an excellent film. Quentin Tarantino is a film genius as proven from Pulp Fiction to Death Proof to Kill Bill. Inglourious Basterd takes on the Tarantino formula of applying healthy cast of misfit characters + fairly simple storyline and manages to make it fun, tongue in...
What you think I rap for/ to push a fucking Rav-4?...

Posting will resume 8/26 :D
Busy at work. Busy working on other projects. Busier than Jon Gosselin’s T shirts. Bad joke? :-/
He’s busy too. Working on a new reality show called Douchbag Divorced Dad’s Club.

U-G-L-Y. You ain't got no alibi. You're..nasty. :(
I don’t know. Maybe it’s cuz it’s located in the far end of an empty plaza. Maybe because it’s called Ugly Roll. Maybe because it was completely empty during lunch hours. Lack of customers = low turnaround of fish. Maybe because it’s so damn cheap. I don’t know.
Whatever the reason. My first instinct was DO NOT eat fish. Do not eat anything that was once...

Accidental Billionaires. Who will play Mark...
I’m having a Ben Mezrich week.
After rewatching 21 (Kate Bosworth, Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey) this weekend, I dove into Mezrich’s (Author of Bringing Down the House / MIT Blackjack story) newest ‘non fiction tell-all’ book titled The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding Of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal.
Though he caught a lot of flack for the...
Urban Dictionary: Definition of a Hipster.
Hipster: I won't drink at starbucks, it's too corporate.
Non-Hipster: I want a Louis Vuitton purse because they are cool
Hipster: You're such a conformist, having a Louis Vuitton purse is so unoriginal. I like my purse I found in the gutter for $4 dollars.
Non-hipster: but it's fugly
Hipster: yah, but no one else has it. It's completely unique.
Non-hipster: that bum over there has something pretty similar though.
Hipster: You're ignorant because you can't see the real beauty in life.
I don't have time for this, I'm gonna go to my cave of an apartment and listen to some indie rock you've probably never heard of....
Non hipster: You need to see a therapist
Hipster: I am my own therapist.

Orphan. Oh silly kids.
I classify Orphan as a feel good thriller. A movie where you know the bad guy will die and justice will prevail. I mean, as feel good as it can be with multiple head bashings. Orphan takes a tried and true formula and films it in a way that is reminiscent of Scream era horror. You have your female lead that is trying to convince the world that Esther is a manipulative bitch. You have the...
