BOONDOCK SAINTS

I Love this Movie

Recently while cyber stalking Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus...which is a small(yeah right) part of everyday. I came across Rotten Tomatoes review of the movie, 20% and I was like WHAT!!! THE!!! FUCK!!!!


Now, I had seen a clip on youtube where the guys talked about the review but, they just kinda blew it off...I had to read it to find out what these people had missed....I mean, I watch this movie all the time...I "know" lots of people who do and while I will admit some of it is just us ladies drooling over the brothers....

I know a LOT of dudes that love the movie, also.  SO after reading hte CRITICS reviews I gather they are upset because it didn't have enough moral content whatever the fuck that might be for them. Well I say ....





Now the audience reviews are 90% on Rotten Tomatoes and IMBd  7.8 out of 10 which equal cult classic..

So let me break it down....
1. The Brothers: Trying to clean up the scum, I mean who hasn't watched the news and thought about the world being better if some people weren't in it.  I know I would kill for my sister, hell I would kill for my best friend.

2. Agent Smecker: OMG, how could you not love Willem Dafoe's performance as Smecker...it was both beautiful and hideous all at the same time. Again law enforcement has to at least every once in a while want to turn a blind eye when the bad guys get what they deserve.




3. Boston's finest...Dolly, Duffy and Greenly...  Sure they are a little clueless but how can you not love them in their totally ineptitude.




4. Il Duce: Two words Billy Connolly.  In a behind the scenes short he talks about how Troy Duffy and the movie are like Rock and Roll ....you hear it and you are like this is for me ...it reaches in side you. Maybe that is why I love it so much I love Rock and Roll.



The reasons I love the first are the reasons I love the second but I must also throw in a couple new characters. 

5. Romeo..What can I say he is their Mexican which while not politically correct it is funny.

Romeo add comedy and dare I say a little emotion..since he is always crying but like he says they are a colorful people.

And by the way I seriously want to rock his hair someday!!

6. Eunice Bloom: Hot smart and rocks some killer shoes....I really like that she totally messed with Dolly, Duffy and Greenly, too!




So there is talk of a 3rd and I am waiting patiently....and I say

Welcome to the Twempire

O Captain, My Captain

 Sean Patrick Flanery

 

Ok it has been awhile folks, and I am sorry but......life got in the way. Today I want to introduce you guys to a wonderful person....I would hope that you know him already but in case you don't let me tell you about Sean Patrick Flanery.


Now, I first "met" Sean in Powder...that's right folks he played Jeremy...ya know Powder...not that he gets recognized for because I mean face it he was pretty unrecognizable in it but man what a performance. 


Then I really fell in love with him in Young Indiana Jones my teenage heart couldn't handle his cuteness...and so I followed his acting throughout the years. Imagine my giddiness when he was in Boondock Saints with my other love Norman Reedus...it was like the stars aligned in my favor..best day ever

Now he is in Dexter and doing an amazing job...makes me sorry it is last season...I want to see more.

But enough of that I want to talk about Sean as a person. Don't worry I am not suddenly delusional and think we are in a relationship
Man is he fast..ha ha

Sean is a great person and he writes a blog and post videos that inspire people everyday.
His website http://www.seanflanery.com/ has links to his blog and other information. I really wanted to talk about his blog, it is personal and he lets us in and by doing so he lifts us up.  Sean believes in physical and mental health.  He also believes in person accountability, that in most cases, you are the reason you are the way you are.  Now I workout EVERYDAY  but I still am not where I want to be but....

Now recently as in a few days ago..I was having one of those days of why bother...you know the.... I have been doing this forever and not seeing any huge change and if I am not going to then why not sit on the couch and just eat what makes me "happy"...ok I know it doesn't make me happy but you know what I mean.


and suddenly on my twitter feed Sean popped up with a video ...and it was just what I needed
Everyday I see the people he touches, who have changed their lives with the help of his words. Christmas 14 is his charity to help kids get into martial arts because of how it helped him...for more on that read his blog.  Hell read it anyway for inspiration.

I will also warn you he is funny...and a little bit crazy but I love that about him.


Also, of course it goes without saying he is part of Flandus(Flanery/Reedus) and their friendship makes me smile....maybe because it reminds me a bit of me and my bestie.


even though we don't see each other all the time when we do ...well you know




and I can't forget his love of Donut


So Thank You Captain for the inspiration and the motivation.....
