Iron Man is Worth Seeing

iron man Iron Man is Worth Seeing

Last evening I went to see two movies, Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr., and Made of Honor with Patrick Dempsey.

I gave Made of Honor a C+. Dempsey seemed a bit awkward, and there was no real chemistry between Dempsey and his love interest. The story line was completely predictable, and finally became interesting two thirds into the movie. The only saving grace was the positive ending.

Iron Man on the other hand is blockbuster quality movie material. The story was tight, and believable. The technology and special effects were very cool, and eye popping. There was a lot of action, which kept the audience attention the entire movie. Downey did a magnificent job making his character totally believable, even when he played opposite Gwyneth Paltrow’s lackluster and boring performance, Downey made those scenes work. This movie has put Downey back on top in Hollywood.

If you want to see a good movie this weekend, Iron Man is the one to see.

Isaiah Washington Claims His Firing was Racism

isaiahw Isaiah Washington Claims His Firing was Racism

Newsweek has an interview with Isaiah Washington this week, and in it Isaiah of course addresses the "Greys Anatomy" controversy that led to his firing. While he says he regrets getting into an argument with Patrick Dempsey and then referring to cast mate T.R. Knight as a "faggot", he says the real reason he was fired is because he’s not some mush-mouthed negro. Instead he’s a 6-foot-1 black man with dark skin and who doesn’t go around saying "Yessah, massa sir" and "No sir, massa" to everyone. Newsweek says:

"Patrick and I had a philosophical disagreement that got out of hand and that I regret a great deal," Washington says.

"I said a lot of negative things that were never reported, but there was one word that caught everyone’s attention, particularly someone who wasn’t even in the room with us. It was a fight between two men that shouldn’t have happened. But someone heard the booming voice of a black man and got really scared and that was the beginning of the end for me. I see that now, but I didn’t then."

"I apologized and showed my remorse for what I said and for the pain I caused anyone,’’ says Washington. "If a black man can’t get forgiveness in this country, when so many other people like Robert Downey Jr. and the governor of California get second and third chances … I think that says a lot about race and this country where we stand."

"Well, it didn’t help me on the set that I was a black man who wasn’t a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. I didn’t speak like I’d just left the plantation and that can be a problem for people sometime," he says. "I had a person in human resources tell me after this thing played out that ’some people’ were afraid of me around the studio. I asked her why, because I’m a 6-foot-1, black man with dark skin and who doesn’t go around saying ‘Yessah, massa sir’ and ‘No sir, massa’ to everyone? It’s nuts when your presence alone can just scare people, and that made me a prime candidate to take the heat in a dysfunctional family.’’

"My mistake was believing that I would get the support from my network and all of my cast mates across the board. My mistake was believing I could correct a wrong with honesty and sincerity. My mistake was thinking black people get second chances," he says. "I was wrong on all fronts."

Hey we white guys have it hard too. Just the other day I was beating my Mexican maid and she fell down and broke my DVD player. Of course I did what any gentleman would do, I called the cops and had her butt arrested for destroying my property. Long story short, she got off. A white man just can’t get justice in this society.

Hollywood is racist. Just because I m a 6’ 1" attraktive white male, everyone just asumes I m artickelet and can spel.

Isaiah got fired because he’s a jerk, and a butt hole. If he wants to play the blame game how about including the Jews and the Gay mafia while he’s at it? The creator of Grey’s Anatomy is a black woman, so Isaiah is peeing in the wind with his racism claim.

Isaiah Washington Fired From ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

isaiahwash grani 10208843 400 Isaiah Washington Fired From Greys Anatomy

Isaiah Washington’s time on Grey’s Anatomy has officially come to an end. The actor has been in trouble ever since he made homophobic remarks about fellow cast member T.R. Knight and subsequently had a  run-in with other cast mate Patrick Dempsey.

Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes informed Isaiah of the bad news today by phone and claims that the firing was not only the result of his recent behavior, but because of a "pattern of problematic behavior."

Rumor has it Washington is not taking this lying down, so expect to hear him spit some venom soon. I’d be surprised if he gets his job back, though. No team needs a cancer in the locker room.

Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jillian Dempsey Have Twins

  Share

Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jillian Dempsey are the proud new parents of twin baby boys.

"Patrick and Jillian Dempsey have welcomed twin boys this afternoon," The actor’s rep confirms. "Their names are Sullivan Patrick and Darby Galen. The family is doing great."

In September when Dempsey announced that he and his wife were expecting, the 41-year-old actor told the New York Daily News’ Gatecrasher column, "Me and my wife, Jillian, are very excited to expand our family."

The couple have been married since 1999 and also have a five-year-old daughter, Tallulah Fyfe.

First Diddy, and now the Dempseys. I hope they get the kids together to play for a photo op. That would be totally cute.

TR Knight To Leave Greys Anatomy?

  Share

Drama Queen T.R. Knight overheard his cast mate Isaiah Washington say the word faggot to another cast mate referring to Knight, and he “is so upset about the situation and so disgusted by how it was all handled,” that he’s planning to leave the show, says a source.

“He was told not to say anything about the whole incident,” says the insider, referring to an on-set dust up in October when fellow cast member Isaiah Washington referred to Knight, who plays Dr. George O’Malley, with a derogatory word used to describe gay men.

“He kept his word, but then the whole thing blew up again at the Golden Globes, and when he was asked about it, he basically called Isaiah a liar,” says the source. “He feels that the atmosphere there is so toxic and unhealthy. I suppose things could change and we would stay, but for now, he’s planning to leave the show.”

When asked if Knight planned to leave the show, his spokeswoman said, “We’re not commenting on that.” She later called back and said that the story was “Completely, one thousand percent false.” A rep for the network also called to add that “rumors of T. R. Knight’s departure from the show are irrefutably untrue.”

Cast members spreading rumors that Knight is leaving should be fired. I can think of one female that stood up for Knight, and criticized Washington. She had better learn to stop spreading rumors or her own job will be on the line. Why would Knight leave a show that is winning award after award?
