Life Lessons From Movies

Today, I present to you three more life lessons from movies:

7. "Just remember, football is 80% mental and 40% physical." 

This gem comes from the perennial favorite Little Giants, courtesy of Steve Emtman.  Obviously, the Giants needed to hear this life lesson so they could learn to beat the Cowboys.  And obviously, since its from a pro football player, it's good advice.  The lesson here is to stop getting all in your head and just focus, hit that last cup.

8. "You are defined by the company you keep and how well you keep it. Not by what you just happen to do."

I've actually impressed myself with this one.  No matter how I spin it, this is a good quote from a very surprising source.  Brink! is probably the only Disney channel original movie that everyone from this generation remembers.  I'm sure if I were to watch it now, I'll want to punch myself in the face.  But back then, it was great.  Not to mention this is a perfect segue, considering Spike from Little Giants was the lame-ass bad guy on Skater X from Brink!  Even the poster has a good quote to consider.  We here at The Alcohall strive to keep excellent company, it says a lot about you.  If you roommate's sister comes into town and is nice but particularly weird, it's alright to be worried about having to hang out with them.

9. Shoot her

It's as simple as that, don't let raptors eat your friends

Songs That Are Worse Than Reason

Ok, I know everyone has heard this song, but I just listened to it for the first time.

Fun (fun fun fun) Fact: If your going over 60 miles an hour and you roll the windows down in your car you can cup your hand and put it out the window and it feels like a boob, its pretty cool.

Suprising Geeds: Roger Goodell

I don't think there is anything cooler or more fratty than being the commissioner of the NFL. It is the best league with the highest revenue, and you get to announce the 1st round of the NFL draft. I really don't think there is a bad aspect of it. But somehow Roger Goodell thinks its a good thing to run the league into the ground and ruin everything Sir Paul Tagliabue created. Tagliabue is the man and we all know that, but how could he choose someone like Goodell? Right now Goodell thinks its a good idea for the league to have a lock-out for a season and let Bud Selig, who is the only worse commissioner than Goodell, and baseball take back its spot as the number one sport. But frankly I won't stand for it, I hope that Goodell is ordered by court to make something happen, and who thinks his rule changes are a good idea? James Harrison is a douche but I see his point. I just hope everyone can agree that Goodell is doing a terrible job, and frankly I hope that Cam Newton, who is going to get picked first, punches him in the face.

Kanye West

Nope, not a post about why he's the man.  Because everyone should know that, Kanye is the king of rap right now and I will argue that incessantly.  What I don't understand is how people don't like him still.  He has an ego? He made fun of Taylor Swift?  First, it's understandable he has an ego, he deserves it.  He writes great raps about that.  And second, that shit was so long ago that if you still care about it then you need to recheck your priorities.  Kanye fucking killed it this past weekend at Coachella.  See for yourself:

Great commercial

This guy is just the man. I would love to enter a party like this. I am not the biggest fan of  Heineken, but I am a huge fan of greeting a friend with a fake old-west style duel, that is just awesome, and something I wouldn't mind doing. Plus for some reason I really enjoy this song

Vote for Peyton

One of the most misleading headlines of all time I think, who would have though it would be Peyton Hillis not Peyton Manning fighting to be on the cover of Madden. I think this is hilarious that EA Sports fucked themselves like this, I love Peyton Hillis , as shown in a previous article, but he is not yet worthy to be on Madden. But thats not my real reservation, I really don't want him to be subject to the Madden curse. That is my nightmare. The worst part is I might rather have Vick on it, so he gets kidnapped by Peta, Thank You for Smoking style, and is forced to eat dog food and fight pit bulls or something. But if anyone can break the madden curse it is Peyton Hillis, because he literally destroys people and again he gives white guys everywhere hope that no one can tell them they can't do anything. If there can be a white running back on the cover of madden, then maybe white guys can jump.

Worst Song Ever

Everyone growing up like shitty music, it's just part of the process.  The summers we spent with MTV2 and Fuse rock countdowns in the background for great.  But every now and again, some song would find its way onto the list and just stay there for weeks and weeks.  Reason by Hoobastank is one such song.  I don't know how, but it managed to stay on the countdowns for almost for the whole summer.  And everytime it came on, I hated it more and more.  So, I nominate Reason by Hoobastank as the worst song ever.

There are bad songs, and there are awesomely bad songs- this one is in the first category.  Feel free to comment with your own nominations.
