The Pacifier - Vin Diesel
Vin Diesel is multiracial like myself and so I always support movies that star multiracial leads like Vin and Halle Berry. From the first time I saw the previews I wanted to see The Pacifier. Sure it looks like a bad sequel to Kindergarden Cop, but actually it was really good. There were lots of parts that were super cheesy, like an episode of Power Rangers. I am not kidding, these ninjas bust in through a window wearing full ninja gear and they have these batons and they start tag teaming Vin Diesel and it is all choreographed to perfection. Unrealistic? Yes. But I could hear the small children around me ooohing and ahhing and that made me smile.
The critics on Rotten Tomatoes said, "It will give you a few chuckles", but I laughed hard and loud many times. I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised - unlike Man of the House with Tommy Lee Jones where I was bored out of my gourd...
So, if you want to watch a light-hearted movie that you can take kids and parents to and not feel akward at any time, then check out The Pacifier.
About the South Beach Diet
On the way in to work this morning the Nestle Crunch bar was STILL THERE and there were these cute little mockingbirds feasting on it for breakfast - it was the first time I was ever envious of a bird. However, I continue to lost weight on this diet despite the fact that this week I have cheated 3 times! Can you believe that, I ate popcorn and cashews for dinner last night at the movie, I had fried okra yesterday at lunch and earlier in the week I had a bag of M&M's! I have been on the diet for 19 days and I have lost 15 pounds. When I started dieting I weighed 360, it took me 4 months to lose the first 7 pounds, then I started South Beach and now I have lost another 15. So I am down to 338.
Last night after watching Vin Diesel strut around on screen with his big muscular chest I went home and did some Power Yoga. Wednesday I did a chest workout and so my chest was still sore so I really just wanted to stretch it out real good - Yoga is good for that. Yoga also works up a serious sweat in about 30 minutes, and when you are done you feel good, not beat up like you do when you finish running.
Well, I am off to see Robots tonight at the IMAX with Amber and Joe, I will tell you all about that one on Monday...
Love.

eddie! blogger comments are working! i am so excited that i'm commenting on as many sites as i can before it goes back down again!
i ate popcorn for dinner last night too. Two bags. Smothered in caramel.
it was sooooo delicious! :)
Eddie - you changed your template?
That really wasn't a question so replace the ? with a . and then follow it with a Why?
blogger let me in! blogger let me in!
yeah, eddie. you changed your template? and i meant that question mark to be there.
the dragon comment doesn't make sense without a picture of the dragon.
unless you're saying that YOU are a dragon.
which, of course, you are not.
Yeah, it was a snafu caused by playing with my template settings, I just wanted to view that templates code for 2 seconds so I could see something and then suddenly it is on my home page and man, it was a wretched baby crap brown... so sorry!
gross. you're right. it was the color of a diaper dud.
i'm glad you have this one back.
ok is it sad or funny that Jessica and I are distressed about your template. She just emailed me to let me know you changed it back. We are good blogger buddies
i was vin's stunt double for that scene with the ninjas. i wasn't happy with the coreography either -- i wanted to actually kick their butts -- but glad to hear the kids enjoyed it.
338 pounds? American pounds? or British money? I don't understand how you weigh that much. are you just this huge solid workout guy? do you fit in your car? are you seven feet tall?
if someone asked me on my site "how can you weigh that much?" i would throw my shoe at them. please don't. i am just surprised cause your picture looks like a regular guy with a regular sized body.
please forgive me. i know not what i do.
Great Blog! I'm hooked...
lol...amanda. you made me laugh out loud with your comments! and EDDIE! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN'T RESPONDED TO HER YET.
so, i will: eddie is a 6'5" hunk of man. he's built SO ENORMOUS. bigger than a bodybuilder. but he's NOT. and it's NATURAL. his calves are the size of my head, and in a perfect heart. they're natural too. he doesn't even do anything to make them that way, and i'm jealous of them. when he comes to my home, it's required that he wear pants so that i won't see his calves and envy them.
when he came over saturday night, Roger noticed his arms and said, "dude. your arms are as big around as my thigh. maybe bigger."
and it's all muscle! eddie could bench press more than two of me!
jessica,
thanks for responding to my comment. i am sure eddie won't because i am sure i have hurt his feelings.
please vouch for me that i am always uncouth and unrefined. i don't know how to communicate in a delicate way. it is a result of my upbringing in a cave.
I saw Vin Diesel on the Conan O Brien show the other night and he had me laughing. I think we're going to check out The Pacifer tomorrow. :) Have a great week!
I have been looking for sites like this for a long time.
