FIFI'S THOUGHTS 12/17/2008 10:51:12 AM
A THOUSAND JUMPING JACKS A DAY KEEP THE DOCTORS AWAY Your heart will thank you, your blood pressure will thank you, your lungs will thank you, your chakras will thank you, your brain will thank you, your MD will thank you, your holistic spirtual doctor will thank you. You can do it in a tiny 5 by 5 room. You can do with typhoon or blizzard going outside. You can do it while watching TV or a DVD or looking at the internet. It's not sold on infomercial for 200 bucks, (BY THE WAY A LOT OF THAT STUFF IS A TOTAL WASTE OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY, EXCERCISE FOR FREE PEOPLE, EXERCISE FOR FREE IF YOU CAN ESPECIALLY IN THESE TOUGH TIMES).
I'm talking about doing the old fashioned kids excercise of JUMPING JACKS. I'M TALKING ABOUT A THOUSAND OF THEM, TAKES ABOUT 45 MINUTES WITH REST BREAKS. 50 JUMPING JACKS WON'T DO IT. A HUNDRED WON'T DO IT. 500 IS GOOD IF YOU COMBINE IT WITH OTHER EXCERCISES. BUT A THOUSAND OHHHHH THAT WILL DO IT. YOU WILL BURN A LOT OF CALORIES. HAVE YOU PEOPLE TRIED JUMPING JACKS SINCE YOU WERE IN JUNIOR HIGH? IF YOU JUST DO A FEW OF THEM AND ARE OUT OF SHAPE YOUR MUSCLES WILL ACHE TERRIBLY, YOUR FEET WILL ACHE TERRIBLY, YOUR BONES WILL ACHE, YOUR HEART WILL BEAT FAST, THAT IS A SIGN OF A GOOD WORKOUT. JUST DO IT AT LEAST 5 TO 6 DAYS A WEEK.
THE WEATHER IS CRUMMY OUT HERE IN LA SO I JUST DO THE THOUSAND JJACKS AND ABOUT 50 SITUPS AND PUSHUPS BUT WITH GOOD WEATHER I DO 500 JJJACKS AND WALK A COUPLE OF MILES COMBINED WITH THE PUSHUPS AND SITUPS WELL THAT'S WHY I WEIGH ONLY 120 POUNDS AND BELIEVE ME BEING AN ACTRESS I CANNOT WEIGH MORE THAN 120 AT MY 5 FOOT 2 INCH HEIGHT. FINALLY ALL THESE EXERCISES ARE 'FREE FREE.' JUST GOTTA DO IT. JUST GOTTA DO IT...............
I TRULYTRULYTRULYTRULYTRULYTRULYTRULY FIND IT HARD TO BELEIVE PEOPLE PAY UPWARDS UP TO A HUNDRED DOLLARS TO BUY BLUE RAY DISKS. GIMMME A BREAK YOU PAID WHAT 8 TO 15 BUCKS AT MOST TO WATCH THE MOVIE AT A THEATER AND YOU'RE WANTING TO PAY TEN TIMES AS MUCH TO GET THAT THEATER FEEL IN YOUR HOME? AND THESE MOVIES ARE SO BAD PEOPLE SO BAD. YOU PEOPLE SERIOUSLY ARE TELLING ME YOU WOULD PAY SAY THIRTY BUCKS FOR A BLUE RAY DISK TO SEE 'PINEAPPLE ESPRESS' AND 'THE NOBEL SON,' MOVIES THAT ARE A HORRIBLE WASTE WHEN YOU SEE THEM AT THE THEATER? NOW YPOU'RE WILLING TO PAY THREE TIMES AS MUCH TO SEE THEM AT HOME SO YOU CAN GET THAT THEATER EXPERIENCE? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK. IT'S A TOUGH ECONOMY PEOPLE. IT'S A TOUGH ECONOMY. I'LL USE MY BEAT UP OLD DVD AND RENT AT BLOCKBUSTER. I DON'T NEED A THOUSAND DOLLAR BLUE RAY DISK PLAYER AND BUY FIFTY DOLLAR DVDS TO WATCH A LOUSY MOVIE.
OK YOU PEOPLE KNOW I BEING AN ACTRESS LOVE TALKING ABOUT MOVIES I SEEN. OHHHHHHHHHHHHH NEXT MONTH WHEN WE DO OUR ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARD AND STINKO NOMINATIONS FOR BEST AND WORST MOVIES OF 2008 THERE WILL BE PLENTY PLENTY OF STINKO NOMINATIONS. AS FOR THE MOVIES I LIKED SO FAR IN 2008 OF COURSE THERE ARE VERY FEW BUT THIS BEING DECEMBER THEY ARE REALLY COMING OUT THIS MONTH. YOU CAN MAKE A STRONG CASE DECEMBER ITSELF HAS MORE QUALITY MOVIES THAN THE REST OF THE MOVIES PUT TOGETHER. RIGHT NOW MY FAVORITE HAS TO BE 'FROST/NIXON.' OMIGOSH YOU PEOPLE MUST SEE THIS MOVIE. SUCH GREAT DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE TWO MAJOR ACTORS FRANK LANGELLA AND MICHEAL SHEEN. I'M SORRY MAYBE I'M CONSERVATIVE BUT I THINK NIXON WHO CLEARLY WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF OUR BEST PRESIDENT'S EVER IF NOT FOR YOU KNOW WHAT WAS KIND OF RAILROADED BY A BUNCH OF EVIL CROOKED ADVISORS. YOU PEOPLE SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY THINK THE LAST TWO PRESIDENTS WERE ANY MORE HONEST THAN NIXON? OF COURSE NIXON DID GET THAT PARDON AND I GOT A KICK WHEN LANGELLA AS NIXON SAID, WHILE AT HIS FANCY SAN CLEMENTE MANSION TO SHEEN/FROST AFTER PLAYING A ROUND OF GOLF, THAT HE WAS WEARING THE CLOTHES OR UNIFORM OF A 'RETIRED PRESIDENT,' GOLF CLOTHES. A LOT OF MY LIBERAL FRIENDS FEEL A 'PRISON UNIFORM' WOULD HAVE BEEN MPRE APPROPRIATE.
OK NOW TO THE OTHER GOOD MOVIES. OH CLINT MACHO MAN EASTWOOD STILL SHOWS SOME OF THAT OLD TOUGH GUY 'DIRTY HARRY/MAN WITH NO NAME' MACHISMO IN GRAN TORINO. IT'S JUST THAT FOR MAYBE THE FIRST TIME IN HIS GREAT CAREER CLINT KIND OF PLAYS YOU KNOW A NEGATIVE CHARACTER/SEMI VILLAIN. I MEAN HE PLAYS A BIGOT/RACIST RETIRED AUTOWORKER AND SPITS OUT SLURS THAT WOULD MAKE OLD ARCHIE BUNKER BLUSH. ANYWAYS HE STILL BECOMES A HERO AT THE END WHEN HE BEFRIENDS THIS YOUNG ASIAN KID AND TAKES ON A BUNCH OF PUNKS IN A TOUGH INNER CITY DETROIT NEIGHBORHOOD.
ANOTHER MOVIE I LOVED AND BELIEVED TALKED ABOUT IN AN EARLIER BLOG IS SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE,' OH I LOVED THIS MOVIE. TOO BAD THAT THE HISTORIC CITY OF MUMBAI OR THE FORMER 'BOMBAY' WHERE THE STORY TAKES PLACE HAS TO BE TARNISHED BY THE TARNISHED EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE LAST MONTH. YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE INTO INDIAN FILM WOULD THIS MOVIE BE CONSIDERED A 'BOLLYWOOD' MOVIE OR MORE LIKE A BRITISH MOVIE SINCE I BELIEVE IT WAS MADE BY A BRITISH FILM COMPANY? I MAY THINK ABOUT HEADING TO INDIA AND AUTIONING FOR ONE OF THEM BOLLYWOOD FILMS. I MEAN I KNOW A LOT OF INDIAN CULTURE, YOU KNOW THINGS LIKE YOGA AND CHAKRAS. I MEAN FACE IT THE LEAD ACTRESS IN 'MILLIONAIRE' WAS NOT INDIAN BUT A 'LATINA.'
OTHER UNDERRATED MOVIE THAT I LIKED THIS YEAR ARE 'CADILLAC RECORDS,' A GREAT EARLY ROCK AND ROLL TALE,'THE CHANGELING.' AND 'THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES.' I ALSO AGREE WITH THE CRITICS THAT THE INDEPENDENT 'FROZEN RIVER' SHOULD BE RANKED AS ONE OF THE YEAR'S BEST. MOVIES I HAVEN'T SEEN YET ARE 'MILK' AND OF COURSE AS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN RELEASED 'DOUBT' AND 'BENJAMIN BRATTON.'
PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK, 'THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL' IS DOING WELL AT THE BOX OFFICE, BUT YOU FOLKS SHOULD SAVE YOUR MONEY AND JUST DVR THE CLASSIC 1951 ORIGINAL WHEN IT COMES OUT ON TMC. THE NEW MOVIE IS JUST A CHEAP PLOTLESS ALL SPECIAL EFFECTS REMAKE OF THE ORIGINAL. I MEAN BIG SPHERES THAT ANIMALS GO INTO AND I DON'T KNOW WHO THE ROBOT WAS. WAS IT GORT OR KENEAU REEVES?
THEY SAY PEOPLE ARE SUCKING SO MUCH WATER OUT OF THIS EARTH THAT WE MAY HAVE A DESERT LIKE PLANET IN A FEW HUNDRED YEARS OR SO. OMIGOSH MAYBE THE DESERT PLANET MARS LOOKED LIKE EARTH DID A THOUSAND YEARS AGO AND TOO MANY PEOPLE USED UP ALL THE WATER AND THERE MAY BE LIKE LOST CIVILATIONS UNDER ALL THAT RED DIRT.
SURE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WATER WITH ALL THE RAIN OUT HERE IN LA THOUGH. OHHHHHHH I LOVE THE MIDWEST. I JUST SAW A FELLA ON TV IN NORTH DAKOTA DIGGING A TON OF SNOW OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY. YOU'RE NOT A TRUE MIDWESTERNER UNLESS YOU HAVE DIGGED A LOT OF SNOW OUT OF YOUR DRIVEWAY.
SAD RECENT PASSINGs. VAN JOHNSON, THE ALL AMERICAN BOY FROM NEXT STORE. JUST LOVED HIS MOVIES, ESPECIALLY 'THE CAINE MUTINY', 'MEET ME IN ST LOUIS' AND AND 'BATTLEGROUND.' TWO OF MY FAVORITES MOVIES 'RUDY' AND 'MRS DOUBTFIRE' HAD A KINDLY OLD GENTLEMAN WHO PLAYED A NOTRE DAME PRIEST AND A NETWORK EXECUTIVE RESPECTIVELY, A REALLY TALENTED CHARACTER ACTOR NAMED ROBERT PROSKY. I'M SORRY BUT IT'S SAD MORE PEOPLE REMEMBER BETTIE PAGE AS BEING MORE FAMOUS AS A PINUP GIRL IN THE 50s FOR A BUNCH OF WOLVES AND LECHES TO LOOK AT THAN BEING A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN AND A MISSIONARY. THE REVEREND SCHUELLER EVEN DELIVERED A SERMON AT HER FUNERAL, ATTENDED BY WELL..... LET'S JUST A VERY WELL KNOWN MAGAZINE PUBLISHER WHOSE INITIALS ARE 'HH.' REST IN PEACE VAN, ROBERT, AND BETTIE.
YOU PEOPLE SEE THE SURVEY WHERE THEY WOULD RATHER FOREGO EEEEEEEEEEEEK FOR TWO WEEKS THAN SACRIFICE THE INTERNET. WHAT KIND OF WORLD ARE WE LIVING IN? I MEAN SELLING MEN'S STUFF ESPECIALLY THOSE LITTLE BLUE PILLS ON PRIMETIME TV WITH KIDS WATHCING AND SURVEYS LIKE THIS. MORE THAN ENOUGH THOUGHTS FOR NOW. DO THOSE JUMPING JACKS.
