Flavor of the Week: Donnie Yen

Now I know, this is a little out a character for me because this dude isn 't particularly hot, he isn't particularly young and he clearly isn't particularly that famous. In Hollywood. But apparently he is in Hong Kong. Or with Chinese boys. I really don't know.

Anyway, yesterday my siblings and I watched Ip Man at 1U. It is about Yip Man who was a martial artist who practiced and taught Wing Chun. Bruce Lee was one of his students. In any case, the movie traces Yip Man's life in Fo Shan, China and the Japanese occupation of China. Needless to say there is a lot of ass kicking in this movie and the choreography is probably the best I've ever seen. Now, I have never properly watched a Bruce Lee movie so I can't be comparing stuff. But Donnie Yen, who stars as Yip Man, is amazing.

DONNIE YEN


So for this week, Donnie Yen is my flavor of the week. All average looks, old man, super crazy talented martial artist that he is. The movie has its flaws but the fight scenes are just beautiful. Anyway I would recommend everyone, unless you're really not into ass-kicking-but I mean that's crazy because everyone is, to go watch this movie when you can. It's really quite inspirational. I mean after the movie I was all like - yeah I'm going to go-learn some crazy shit and whoop some ass! And I'm sure you'll feel the same.

Flavor of the Week: None

I've got zip this week guys, probably because I'm actually doing work, work when I should just be sleeping. Then I tried to upload that Luda, Chris Brown, Sean Garrett video and it didn't happen so... No flavor this week! Next week though I'll figure out something/one great. In the meantime, I could not upload this but check it out nonetheless. This song is so catchy I can barely stand it.

Flavor of the Week: Fruitcake

I have no time for beautiful people anymore. Plus I saw/watched nothing that made me feel particularly inspired. And no one in politics/world has done anything cool that I am aware of. I did however like the fruitcake at the office Christmas party.

FRUITCAKE

So.. fruitcake is my Flavor of the Week. It's good, sweet and filling. It's basically perfect. Except when there are maraschino cherries in them. Then it is disgusting because maraschino cherries are a nausea inducing food.

Flavor of the Week: Cam Gigandet

So I know, this used to be the Flavor of the Month but then... I tried watching interviews of Robert Pattinson. He is really boring. And he's hotter with an American accent. In addition in this one interview he looked a little, well, unwashed and also his chin kept making me think about my Latin American lectures in uni about the Hapsburg jaw and how it was a sign of the royal family's inbreeding. Not that I think he's inbred or ugly, just maybe in certain lighting...

Maybe Preetha's right. Maybe he really is just a PWB (Plain White Boy). And what's the only thing better than a PWB? A DWB. A Dirty White Boy.

CAM GIGANDET

So here is Cam Gigandet, the quintessential I-had-an-abusive-childhood-and-now-must-beat you looking actor. As you can see he's pretty much super hot. He's not actually dirty literally, he's more like dirty, figuratively. And I (and other people I'm sure) have had him picked out as a hottie since he played the baddie, Volchok, on the O.C. and then in that subsequent gem of a movie, Never Back Down. He was also in Twilight but then he had long hair and was really pasty - so don't check that out for his good looks.

Unlike Rob Pattinson, he's charming in his interviews albeit a little wasted sometimes. Plus his body is sick. And Preetha I know you must be lamenting but I can't help it I'm a sucker for unsuitable asses. In any case, enjoy Cam this week and I'll be back soon with the next Flavor of the Week!

Flavor of the Week: Robert Pattinson

I know most of you are familiar with how intensely shallow I am and how infatuated I get with different fake people and things. Like footballers, actors/actresses, movies, songs, etc. etc, I don't discriminate... So in keeping with that I've decided to introduce a new "Flavor of the Week" regular blog post. My choices could be determined by if someone is really hot and famous at the moment, or if something really cool happened or if... I make up a reason in my head. This week it is the lovely:

ROBERT PATTINSON

This picture is taken from the movie "Twilight", he is not usually this white or angsty looking. But I like him this way best.

Now I know what you're going to say, "Dini... that's so OBVIOUS. He's like on every magazine!" And I agree, I definitely thought the exact same thing about him since he was such a blah Cedric Diggory. Then I watched Twilight and I decided that it didn't matter what anyone said. I am in LOVEEEEEEEEEE. Like in gut wrenching, 13 year old teenage madness on the verge of watching Twilight more than the 2 times I've already watched it - loveeeeeeeeee.

I know what you're going to say Preetha, that he's just so white. And he is, there's no denying it. I may be too old for this kinda nonsense but hey it's the way I've always been and I don't want to change! Also since I'm really flaky about this kind of stuff my love probably won't last, so check in next week for the Flavor of the Week!
