Woody Allen's Streetcar Named Blue Jasmine







Yes, Woody Allen's Streetcar Named Blue Jasmine .. The movie is a masterpiece and one of the best films I've seen in years .. Saw it last night and just loved it .. Allen plays "Homage" to America's Greatest Playwriter Tennessee Williams "Streetcar Named Desire" set in the deep South of New Orleans Louisiana .. Not Blue Jasmine which is set in San Francisco with many flashback scenes set in New York (Manhattan) and The Hamptons ... Kate Blanchett is the lead cahracter much like Williams Blanche DeBois in Streetcar . Blanchett is Jasmine French a tragic character it turns out who like Blacnhe fancied herself stylish, sophisticated and elegant and of the privelaged society .. Unlike Blanche, Jasmine (Blanchett) was "Rich" but then fell down to next to poverty, which is a even harder blow to women like this .. Jasmine was rich and savored in it, but her world came crumbling down when here cheating husband says he's in love with another women .. Then he's arrested for a number of Ponzy Schemes alla Bernie Madoff .. Her husband is sent to prison where he hangs himself, and Jasmine losses everything and is left pennyless.
She goes to live with her sister to try and pick up the pieces .. It's not easy ...  
As in Streetcar Blanche's sister is married to a crude cave-man like Stanley Kuwalskiplayed by the late great marlon Brando .. In Blue Jasmine, Jasmine's sister doesn't have one crude cave-man but two in her ex-husband Augie, played wonderfully by Andrew Dice Clay (Barvo Dice) and nuber 2 her boyfriend Chili, with another great performance by Bobby Cannavale ..
Well I don't want to give too much away .. See the movie, it's wonderful, another masterpiece for Woody, and possibly an Oscar for Miss Kate Blanchett, an awesome performance ..


PS  I almost forgot. Sally Hawkins was awesome as Jasmine's sister Ginger "Great Performance"

Tripadvisor FUCKS UP In PIZZA DEBACLE



PIZZAIOLO MAESTRO DOMINIC DeMARCO
MAKING AMERICA'S BEST PIZZA
At HIS PIZZERIA "DiFARA PIZZA"
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK



TripAdvisor makes a major Faux Pas when with their Top 10 Pizza Cities of U.S.  The Faux Pas, TripAdvisor puts the "Undisputed Raining King of American Pizza 4th" and as if they are even more out of their minds rank San Diego # 1, Las Vegas # 2, Boston # 3, and The Champ New York # 4  ... It doesn't take much of a Genius to realize that this is one of the 21st Centuries biggest Media Blunders of all. So bad in fact, "It's a Joke," an absurdity that is beyond belief and has "Seriously Hurt TripAdvisor" and given them a major Credibility Issue.  A business that is built on credibility and giving "Advise" as per their "Name," TripAdvisor is in TROUBLE ..
Below:  "THIS IS INSANITY" !!!
The Top 10 Cities for Pizza, as determined by TripAdvisor:
  1. San Diego, California
  2. Las Vegas, Nevada
  3. Boston, Massachusetts
  4. New York City, New York
  5. Seattle, Washington
  6. Austin, Texas
  7. San Francisco, California
  8. Indianapolis, Indiana
  9. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
  10. Phoenix, Arizona
At issue here is not whether San Diego, Boston, and Las Vegas has better Pizza then New York and that they have bragging rights. "Hell No!" They don't, anyone in their "Right-Mind" knows that no city can touch New York in their superiority as far as Pizza is concerned, New York is America's undisputed Champ, we have some of the Best Pizza on Eart, and this include Italy. The only city that comes close to New York is New Haven, Connecticut, but even as great as New Haven and the towns pizza is, they are a distant second to New York, Chicago? Fougettabout IT! Chicago, that "Deep Dish Stuff" That's NOT Pizza, it's Deep Dish something, not Pizza. The balance is completely off to be called "real pizza."
The issue here, with TripAdvisor's Major Foul-Up  is when you go to Tripadvisor for "Advise" on Hotels, Restaurants, and other travel related questions to determine what is the best, and for accurate descriptions, opinions, and ratings, "Is Tripadvisor accurrate and reliable? The answer is, "Sometimes," just be careful and look to others like Yelp and articles and other info on places you are seeking accurate info and advice about. Don't solely count on TripAdvisor. This "Pizza Debacle" is a major "blunder" and one that will take Tripadvisor a good long time to recover from.

ROBERT PARKER SUCKS


Robert M.Parker Jr.


THE MAN WHO RUINED PEOPLES PERCEPTION Of WHAT GOOD WINE IS


Most Wine Drinkers may not know this, but they'd be well advised not to ever listen to Robert Parker and his ill-advised wine news-letter The Wine Advocate. Not if they want the best wine drinking experience possible and they want to choose a good wine to go with their meal, they will not follow the terrible advice and reviews that Robert Parker gives on wine. The kind of wines Parker loves the most are overly oaked, Overly-Rich, heavily concentrated wine that are crafted to be Heavy Thick Full Bodied Oaky Fruit-Bomb Wines. Wines that clash with food instead of complimenting it. If it was up to Robert Parker he'd have all the wines in the World tasting like over-manipulated, big, fat powerful wines like California Cabernets and Meritage Blends instead of wonderful food complementary wines like; Chianti, Barolo, Brunello, Beaujlais, some Bordeaux wines and the like. Wines  that go well with food instead of clashing with it as many of the so-called Parkerized Wines do. The man has ruined the publics perception to what good wine is and should be. The public thinks because he is a famous wine writer, that he knows best and what he's talking about. Maybe he does, but the style of wine he likes, well?
    If the general public wants the best wine drinking experience possible, they'd be wise to steer clear of The Wine Advocate and any wine advice dished out by Parker.
      Robert Parker's advice on wine is advice that steers and influences peoples perceptions of what great wine is, into a quite a bad, almost one-dimensional place of homogenized overly thick un-natural wines. People should stop taking advice of Robert Parker, the World of Wine would be a much better place, a place of real wine that is  It SUCKS! Robert Parker's advice reviews, and Ratings of Wine that is.
     If you want to is true to the local terroir of whereever any particular wine might come from. In other words, Chianti should taste like Chianti, Barolo like Barolo, and Bordeaux like Bordeaux and not like a "Big Fat" California or Autralian Cabernet or Meritage Blended Wine and such.

 People should drink Wonderful Wines that go great with food and are "Real Natural Wines" the kind of Wines that were made for 100 of years and still are except for those wines made by owners who have fallen into to whole Robert Parker "Spin Doctor" realm and make "Overly-Concentrated Wine" that taste fake and un-natural, they are manipulated and are the kind of wines that Parker likes and gives High 90 Plus Ratings to.
   Drink real Chianti (not any that contain Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot), drink Barolos that have been aged in large gentile Slovenian Oak Cask instead of small 225 liter Barrique Barrels that make many wines taste more of Wood (the way Parker likes them) than beautiful unadulterated with natural fruit (Grapes). Wines like; Brunello, Cote du Rhones, and just about anything other than overly-concentrated, overly Oaked, minipulated overly-oaked wines from Australia and over-powering Californian and Australian monsters and you'll be doing OK.
   "Just DON'T Listen to anything ROBERT PARKER and his highly popular but we say awful newsletter "The Wine Advocate" has to say or Write about Wine." The man almost single handily Destroyed what Good Wine "is" and should be.
Be "Anti-Parker" you'll be glad you did. "Do."



Daniel Bellino Zwicke



Philip Ulanowsky on Parker

"Mr. Parkers "illigitimate" reign as wine-oracl and suprem arbiter of taste and quality has not only addicted a generation of Yuppies to his mythical 100- Point rating annoucements, but has played a major role of leading many of the world's great winemakers to compromise "their art" to make wines to suit the ratings, in order to sell, rather than making wines that will do poor early in early tastings but will mature into masterpieces over decades."

Every Man Deserves a Great Watch

DON'T YOU ?






A Good Watch. It's something every man needs, but few have, well, percentage wise anyway. I'm not talking about a Timex, or "God Forbid" one of those nasty looking Casio watches. A Rolex or Omega are the most popular top end standards, not everyone can afford to spend $3,00 for a Omega or $5,000 and up for a Rolex. If you can afford it, there is nothing like having a Rolex Submarine or GMT Master. The classic look of these two great watches is timeless. ONE look at the Submariner and you'll notice it's all business with classic yet simple design, that is "Timeless." The Submariner is a sport watch but because of its timeless design can be worn with a suit for business or Tuxedo.
This watch made of the fine stainless-steel with a classic black face, black dial, and Mercedes style hands. It is waterproof to 300 meters and is powered by a World Class movement. Believe it or not, a Rolex at $5,000 is a bargain. Considering that there are watches on the market that go for $10,000, $20,000, $100,000 and even 1 Million Dollars, which as much is I love watches, feel that anything over $20,000 is absolutely insane. Obscene even. A Rolex will give you instant cache, no matter how rich the group you are amongst. So the the cache a $5,000 Rolex gives, even comparable to a $10,000 to $100,000 watches, the Rolex Submariner or GMT Master is a bargain.
So back to everyman needing a good watch and what one can afford to spend. As stated, if you can afford the Rolex, you've just got to get it. If you can't afford the Rolex or Omega, you have other options as their are great watches available for $350, even less that have the look of watches cost $3,000, $5,000 or more. I bought a S. Coifman Dive Watch that can almost be put in the same league as the Submariner or GMT Master. My S. Coifman has the same top tier stainless steel, saphire crystal, and Swiss Movement as the Rolex watches. It is 100% Swiss made from a famed Swiss watch company that has been in business for some 150 years. This watch is practically every bit the equal to a Rolex from a quality and style point of view. The watch normally retails for $1,500, though much cheaper than the Rolex it is total equal in terms of quality. I paid just $299 for the watch that looks every bit the part of a $3,000 plus timepiece.
If possible, if you decide you will buy and were a good quality time piece, the first step would be to get a great Dive watch, such as a Rolex or Omega if you've got that kind of cash? If not, and you can get your hands on something like my S. Coifman Diver for $500 or less. you can even get a Invicta Pro Diver for $200 or less that looks pretty much like a Submariner, and the quality is pretty good.
So you get a great looking Diver, your next step would be to get a beautiful looking classic style dress watch with a great Crocodile, Alligator, or fine Leather Strap. A company called Sturhling Original makes some amazing looking dress watches that look like $5,000 and $10,000 time pieces but can be had for $250 or less at Amazon. No Bull. It's true, some of these Sturhling watches look just like $100,000 ones.
Men, get yourself a great watch, put on some Levis, a great shirt, good leather shoes and belt, and you are set. Add a good sport jacket and you'll look like a Million Bucks. A lady killer.

LEVIS "The Cadillac of Jeans"






Why do people wear inferior overpriced Jeans when they can buy the "Best" top of the line, Cadillac of Jeans, LEVIS for less?
Answer: They are followers who do not have their own style, nor minds of their own. Followers who are easily brainwashed by companies who know how stupid and foolish many are. Make a product that cost just a few dollars, package it and market that product to the weak minded followers and you can make 10, 20, 50, 100 times what the product cost you to make.
"Easy Pickins" The only reason that millions of moronic followers bought so many dumb ass Von Dutch hats, T-Shirts and what not, why people buy the mundane ugly overpriced Northface jackets and coats and why people will buy inferior overpriced jeans that cost $100, $200, $300 and more when they can get "Thee Only," BEST, Coolest Jeans ever, LEVIS for just Forty Bucks. Yes fust $40 for The Worlds Best Jeans. The people who buy....
