Why I liked the Movie 13 going on 30 with Jennifer Garner

Despite the cheese factor, 13 going on 30 allowed someone to do what is currently impossible. That is, giving someone a preview of their life before it happens. I did not have interest in watching this movie. However, CSI was not on and Jennifer Garner is a favorite, so 13 going on 30 is where I landed. In the movie, the girl gets to go back and make her life the way that she wants it. In reality, we do not get a preview of our lives. Surely, that would be something good, as it could prevent people from making a lot of mistakes that could have taken their lives in different directions.

Adults can only look back on their life and try to make changes for the present and the future. In the movie 13 going on 30, Jennifer Garner had a chance to go back in time and make changes at the point where everything went in a path that she would end up regretting in the future. If you are following this, it shouldn’t be too confusing. If it sounds confusing and you have not seen the movie, go rent it. We live in the real world, where we cannot go back and make changes to our lives in hopes for the outcome that we desire.

If only it were that easy, I would sit next to a doll house and chant repeatedly until I flash forward to age 40. That would definitely help me out a lot, as my decisions that are made today would be much easier.

Have you seen the movie 13 going on 30? If so, leave your thoughts about it , Jennifer Garner and going back in time below in the comments section.

John Singleton involved in Car Accident...jaywalker killed

Yahoo news recently reported that film director John Singleton drove the vehicle that killed a jaywalker in California. The woman has been identified as 57 year-old Constance Russell. She was pronounced dead yesterday morning. The accident happened on thursday night when the woman stepped in front of John Singleton's SUV. A police spokesperson stated that John Singleton identified himself and was not under the influence of drusg or alcohol. The director was questioned and released. John Singleton has produced popular films of late, including "Hustle & Flow" starring Terrance Howard, "Black Snake Moan" with Samuel Jackson and Justin Timberlake and the upcoming film "Illegal Tender".

I am not too familiar with Illegal Tender, but have checked out some recent press clips that covered the film. The aftermath of fatal car accidents have not gone well for celebrities (R&B singer Brandy is going through a lot of legal trouble and drama as a result of her accident on the road). Hopefully, this does not affect John Singleton's career much, because he makes good movies. While it is NEVER a good choice to hit anyone on the road, we have traffic lights for a reason. Excuse me for possibly sounding rude here, but why is anyone walking in front of a moving vehicle. From the news report, John Singleton was driving an SUV.

That is a large automobile. Many of us probably have crossed streets and roads despite a clear red light or stop sign. However, this accident is one reason why that kind of behavior should stop. The same goes for drivers too because I have witnessed some very impatient and rude drivers on the roads who ignore traffic signs just as well. This needs to stop. How many people are going to have to die or get in trouble with the law for citizens to stop being careless?

Rather than go on about what should or shouldn't be considered appropriate road behavior, I am curious to know what you all think about this situation. Do you jaywalk? Are you a driver who "occasionally" ignored traffic signs? Are you going to see Illegal Tender? Are you a fan of John Singelton? If any of the abive applies, post your comments below.

Along Came 50 Cent & Justin Timberlake with AYO Technology

It is refreshing to hear something new from 50 cent. A surprising twist to his new AYO Technology single is the addition of pop start, Justin Timberlake. This new song is hot. It has catchy tunes and music fans will know 50 Cent when they hear him so, there is no surprise that AYO Technology will be a hit. Justin Timberlake has shown many different sides of himself since his debut solo album. The new Futuresex/Lovesounds was not easy for me to get into at first.

However, the album has become a favorite. Justin Timberlake’s new collaboration with 50 cent may boost his “street cred” (as they say) and he may possibly become more popular among the male audience. A posting on Obtusity earlier this month suggested that 50 Cent’s AYO Technology song (or the video at least) is about men masturbating to porn. It is not unusual to hear about people being addicted to cyber porn. Therefore, this is an interesting angle for 50 Cent to address in his music. Now if AYO Technology is about cyber porn, I wonder what the rapper’s next single is going to be about.

The AYO Technology music video is nice. It is dark, and covered with lots of digital fun facts to enjoy. Based one the cyber porn angle, the AYO Technology video does a great job of showing Justin Timberlake and 50 Cent taken over by their fixation. They are spying on women with binoculars and the like. That gives off the impression of a porn addiction gone too far.

Excuse me while I joke around for a minute, now, won’t a man addicted to cyber porn eventually get tired of jacking off to some digitized woman and then want to go and find the real thing? If that is the case, what is all of the fuss about? Now on a serious note, the AYO Technology video has a moderate amount of women sprinkled throughout the song. It is a typical depiction of the average rap music video these days. However, the content and action in 50 Cent’s AYO Technology video is relatively fitting for this kind of song and genre. Some do not agree with some of the content on the AYO Technology video. Some of the reasoning for it has gone too far and will be addressed in my next posting.

Have you seen the AYO Technology video or heard the song? If so, leave your thoughts on it below. Do you agree or disagree with the song/video being hot or not?
