Greetings,
Hey guys Austin's own Bobby Bones made his national TV debut on ABC's Live! with Regis and Kelly. Bobby far exceeded the competition finishing in a comfortable first place out of the thousands, allegedly, of men up for the spot. So great job to all the listeners for kickin' butt with the voting. He, accompanied in the audience by his faithful entourage/ co-hosts: Lunchbox, Amy, and Carlos, did a most excellent at representing Austin and The Bobby Bones Show. Bobby and Kelly had excellent chemistry with their back and forth conversation, and they found common ground with embarrassing childhood stories of seventh grade.
You can see the interview below.
Bobby on Live! With Regis and Kelly
All in all Bobby did great. He looked very dapper, was very in his element, and carried himself in a very professional manner. I think the audience responded well to him. Now I am going to make a prediction. It might be overzealous of me and I'm probably way out of touch to the situation, but I think that Bobby might be considered as a Regis replacement. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but he would do very well and he's young and able. He has excellent charisma, is very likable, and he has a great way of relating to the people and speaking for them because he is the people. This, of course, would mean that we would lose The Bobby Bones Show :(, but we want our Bobby to be the best Bobby he can be!! Again, ladies and gentlemen this is all my prediction and in no way represents the views and opinions of The Bobby Bones Show or it's affiliates.
Great job Bobby!!!

The Sinner!!
Hey there,
Ruffhouse Studios has a new action induced flick coming out called The Sinner. It's a story about a man named "Fisher Rood" who helps lost souls and dispenses Divine justice. And all the while out running the law and the Agents of an evil global corporation called "The iV Corporation".
I'm a big fan of your vigilante, ass kicker in the name of God, but God's not home type flicks. Like your Boondock Saints and your Desperado type cinema. It shows good promise of being a fun ride to hell and back. Check out the teaser trailer The Sinner!

Kevin Smith's Red State
Howdy,
So, I have always been a devote Kevin Smith disciple. Always preaching the good word that is Kevin Smith. Now he is entering into a genre that I have always loved, Horror. And, in typical Smith fashion, he is doing it his own way. Red State will be premiering at the Sundance Film Festival this year. And already, similar to Dogma, Smith is already making friends in the religious community. The film, which centers around christian fundamentalism, has already attracted some it's first picketers from the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas. This is the group responsible for the "God hates Fags" website.
“To me there’s all kinds of horror, and killing someone’s not the absolute worst thing you could do to another human being. The death in a horror movie has always been the money shot in a very exploitative manner. Stabbing somebody and splashing blood all over them is the equivalent to some dude exploding over some broad’s face,” Smith told Rotten Tomatoes.
Smith goes on into more detail about the film.
“The movie’s called ‘Red State’ and it’s very much about that subject matter, that point of view and that position taken to the absolute extreme. It’s certainly not Phelps himself but it’s very much inspired by a Phelps figure,” revealed Smith. “And to me, too, the notion of using a Phelps-like character as a villain, as horrifying and scary as that guy can be, there’s even something more insidious than him that lurks out there in as much as a public or a government that allows it and that’s the other thing that I’m trying to examine in a big, big way. It’s weird because for a few months I’ve been saying ‘horror movie’ and technically it is, but it’s also not a very traditional horror movie in the sense that people have been asking me, ‘Is it a slasher movie? Is it like the Japanese horror flicks?’ It’d be much easier to just show it to them when I’m done and be like, ‘This is what I meant.’ At which point I’m sure there’ll be people saying, ‘This ain’t a horror movie!’ But to me, it is.” From Slashfilm
Minor plot spoiler from News Askew:
The film follows a trio of high school boys whose online invitation to a gangbang leads them to a murderous pack of religious crazies. Michael Angarano, John Goodman, Melissa Leo and Michael Parks highlight the ensemble cast. Smith compares it to “Race With the Devil” and “Rosemary’s Baby,” insisting (despite its title) that it’s not political and, though it contains some “gallows humor,” not a comedy.
Everything that Smith has came with, especially Jersey Girl, I've enjoyed. He has the thinkers point of view on subject matter. Coming from a Catholic background as well, Dogma really spoke to me on a more spiritual level. Looking past the dick and fart jokes, he has a real good idea on religion that I can relate to. Red State is undoubtedly his more political project to date, aside from his film with Prince on the Purple Rain Ranch, I think that this will be a thinking man's horror movie and be in it's on sub-genre of it's on.

Cats and Boomsticks
Okay,
So I'm not one who normally gushes over video games but this one takes me back. It's none other than that beer swilling, alien killing, ass kicking renegade Duke Nukem. After fourteen years since first being announced, the blonde brute is FINALLY making his epic comeback in Duke Nukem Forever. 2K Games and developer Gearbox announced Friday that the legendary first-person shooter will be released for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 in North America on May 3rd and internationally on May 6th.
The moment fans all over the world have been waiting for is almost here," 2K prez Christoph Hartmann proudly proclaimed in a statement. "May 3, 2011 marks Duke's return as he unleashes his brash and brutally honest wit on the world. His return is going to be epic and one that will make video gaming history!"
The last thing to leave us hanging this long was, of course, was Guns and Roses' Chinese Democracy. And even though being a decent album, it wasn't over a decade great that it should've been. Big weight on the developers shoulders at 2k. All eyes are on you.
The next big news I have was also published on Yahoo. It's seems our favorite vigilante cape crusader is coming back with an unlikely villain. Not only will we have our ever so sultry feline Catwoman, played by Ann Hathoway, but we will have Bane. Bane who will be portrayed by none other than Tom Hardy.
You might remember Tom in Bronson, a true story about a crazed 19-year-old British prisoner named Michael Peterson who wanted to make a name for himself. Who, after 30 years of solitary confinement, the person known as Michael faded away and the super ego Charles Bronson emerged. Tom plays a most excellent psycho path which gives me hope for Bane.
This, as we know, will be the last Batman written by the Nolan brothers :(, but we might as well enjoy what we have while we have it. They, unlike most of their predecessors, took Batman to where it belonged. They made it true to what Batman was intended to be, dark and aggressive. They treated us like adults and didn't try to distract us from bad story lines with big name stars and pretty colored special affects. It's what every superhero movie should be.
So, in conclusion ladies and jelly spoons, there's a lot of good things coming our way. Let me know what you think, or I'm going to find something fluffy and shoot it. Js

Reality TV And Vodka
Ello,
So reality TV. It has become a booming aspect in Pop Culture today. So much so that it even has it's own award show. Which will eventually have it's own reality show about how it's a reality show about reality shows. What's up with that?!?!
Believe it or not, the reality show was spawned in 1973 as an education TV show originally called Get Real. The idea was to follow 4 different families from 4 different parts of the country - the West Coast, the Midwest, the South, and the East Coast, and document the "Real American Family". It was filmed over a period of over 4 weeks. As production proceeded, it was determined to nix the four family angle and focus on The Loud Family. That was done for the same reason they would've today, it made for better television. Just look at the facts: the Louds' marriage was in dire straights and they had a openly gay son. And remember the time in America, it's 1973, this was first openly gay teenager the country had ever seen. As the series progressed the Louds' marriage chaos eventually peaked with Pat kicking her husband, Bill, out of the house and asking for a divorce. But when An American Family finally premiered in January 1973, more than 10 million people tuned in. America was addicted from the start. The More You Know...
I personally hate to admit that I have indeed given into America's crack a.k.a. Reality TV. Not all, but still a lot. I love the daddy issued filled narcissistic driven girls of The Bad Girls Club, to the paranoid back stabbing goodness that is Big Brother. I'm a twisted little monkey and I constantly find pleasure in others getting punched in the face in a drunken stupor. Maybe a little too much pleasure ;p. That's why, even though I hate to admit it, I am a Jersey Soar viewer. Btw that was not a typo ;). When it comes to weight loss shows, like their food habits my thoughts are, gimme gimme gimme. With Biggest Loser to documentary type weight loss shows, such as MTV's newest I Used To Be Fat, I tune in every time. Cause I myself could stand to loose a few belt loops. So I make sure to always have a cheeseburger in hand when viewing these programs, in memory of the cheeseburgers and tacos lost in the making of that program.
I also am a big Dr. Drew advocate. I praise his ability to find the most entertaining group of addicts in Hollywood and put them on display for my amusement. It gives me that warm fuzzy filling inside, or it could just be those 4 muscle relaxers I took with a vodka chaser. Regardless, I can always depend on a narcotic dependent celebrity to brighten my day.
I cannot, however, condone anything Sarah Palin related. Seriously people, how can we keep doing this to ourselves? I don't want her advice on dealing with in-laws during the holidays or see her roughin' it with a rifle while looking at Russia from her house. Her daughter is the ONLY contestant to have gained weight on DWTS. The only reason why we've, as a whole, have tolerated her for son long is cause she's a MILF. So at the end of the day, if she was a senile old person, I might look the other way while she wondered into traffic. Js

Introduction
Hello all,
My name is Jesse and I'm from Austin Texas, hence The Blogstin Mexican. Although I must admit saying the name out loud kinda sounds like strangler would tack on pretty easily at the end. So I'll be sure to keep my hands to myself. I'm not saying I touch myself, okay maybe sometimes when... I digest. I might write about movies, music, and possibly about the little bathroom soaps you get at hotels. I have a family. I have much more talented wife, especially when it comes to writing and myriad of other things. I also have four kiddos. I know what you're thinking, Mexicans living up to the name, and well you're right. I don't know if anybody will actually read this at all, but if you do I appreciate it. And if don't read this and follow an angel will get The Clap. I don't make the rules.
