[...] to me, I started to get very concerned about my health. I began a regimen of yoga and adopted a plant-based diet and felt a little bit better. But what I was hoping to get from yoga didn’t really come. As [...]

Thanks so much, Jason. I hope your 2012 is great, too. I know it’s at least going to start off great because of The Dying Horse!

That’s great, Roxane! The health benefits definitely happen pretty quick, that’s for sure. Most meat that’s sold in this country has a lot of toxins in it, so getting those out of your body surely makes a difference.

I made the choice to go vegan for several reasons, but having my body feel “cleaner” is probably the best part of it.

I became a vegetarian a few months ago and although I love love meat and have no problems with meat, I’ve gotta say, I feel great and don’t regret my decision at all. I told myself I was doing it until 2013 but I think I might do it longer. I don’t know but so far, so good.

[...] Last week I reported that Transformers: Dark of the Moon was one of the laziest, most unentertaining films I’ve seen in a long time. After subjecting myself to that, I needed a palate cleanser, and I got it big time. [...]

Wow, rehashed shots AND music? He’s doing a Tarantino-style homage to himself!

This movie was so the worst. He also lifted scenes and SCORE DIRECTLY from Armageddon. He was so comfortable making it clear that he does not give one single fuck about this movie.

Comment on Movie Review: The Hangover Part II by Steven

I did see that article, Blake. And I agree with what A.O. Scott says, especially at the end of it. I think there’s room for all the different tastes in the cinematic diet. I don’t know if it’s a menu that the masses are willing to order from though.

If you look at the films that gross the most, it’s always comedy or action for the most part. So maybe American moviegoers are defining what is boring to them as a whole and they’re not really all that excited about trying new things, which is a terrible shame, because there are a lot of really amazing films out there that should have wider audiences. I guess it comes down to business and what the companies have seen working in the past though, hence another Hangover (and now, maybe even another Hangover). I wouldn’t say that movie was boring to me, per se. But I do think it was phoned in from the very beginning. Again, though, Warner Bros. saw the success of the first one and know they’re strike gold again the second time around. (This is a trend I noticed the other day when I walked by the movie theater down the street and all four of the movies they were showing were sequels)

Maybe it’s that America doesn’t want to vary their cinema diet because the studios don’t want to make the other, cheaper options on the menu as visible.
