Is The World Ready For A Black James Bond?

Puff Daddy/Diddy
No, no, hell to the no! Bond is not for you, Mr. P Diddy Puff Daddy Puff Combs!

There have been rumors circulating for a while now that actor Idris Elba could be up for the role of James Bond when Daniel Craig leaves the franchise. Now I know that there will be those who consider a black Bond to be the greatest affront to life, liberty and the Queen since the rise of the Spice Girls. This is especially borne out by the alarming racist reactions to the casting of black actors in the HUNGER GAMES movie. I personally say balderdash to the naysayers because there are 3 black Brit actors that I think have all the necessary joie de vivre to pull off the role of Bond successfully.

The 6 Best Movie Performances By Wrestlers Turned Actors

Derek
Tor Johnson in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE
Old school wrestler Tor Johnson in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE showed true range. He went from playing a stiff, lifeless cop to playing a stiff, lifeless cop in bad zombie make-up.

The common opinion on professional wrestling is that it is just a soap opera for the male population.

But there are a few rasslers who have proven to have “The Stuff” when it comes to acting outside of the ring and I have decide to list my top 6 sports entertainers who made the transition to the big screen successfully.

The 5 Suckiest TV Deaths

Derek

Death is a pretty regular occurrence on TV shows. It is used to boost ratings for sweeps or to increases interest in a waning show, or just because some creators like to rip the hearts out of their viewership (condemning side-eye in your direction GAME OF THRONES!). Sometimes these deaths are so amazingly written, acted and produced that they propel the show into storylines that create wonderful TV like The death of Mrs. Summers in BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER or Col. Blake on MASH but then there are the deaths that seem to be the results of bad writing or a show that has become creatively bankrupt. These bad deaths result in horrible episodes of what were previously wonderful shows. And it is with this thought in mind that I give you my list of the 5 Suckiest Deaths in TV History!

Samuel L. Jackson’s Most Awesome Hairdos

Derek

As great an actor as Samuel L. Jackson is there has always been one thing that has made me look sideways at the dude in some movies and that is the various wigs and facial hair attachments that he has utilized.

So here is my list of Top 7 hair don’ts that Sam has had to overcome in his movie career.
