That Show Sucks

For the second time this year, rumors flew that Eddie Murphy was dead.  Well, that’s just plain false.  Quite spectacular how fast news can fly on the web, eh?

Well, what is a true rumor is that things are in the works for a 4th Beverly Hills Cop.  I suppose this could be terrible news, however.  There have been a few sequels in recent movie years (the Bourne series) that have been great, perhaps even better than the first.  But more often than not, the sequel or “fivequel”–whatever you want to call it–just suck. What readily comes to mind is the 4th Indian Jones.

The original “Beverly Hills Cop” grossed $316 million worldwide and led to two sequels, the last of which appeared in theaters in 1994.  The series has grossed $712.9 million.

I really hope Eddie Murphy does it right this time.  His recent film have either been too childish or too boring (or both) for me to enjoy.  We’ll see what he can do.

I watched the season premier of Shaq Vs. last night and I wasn’t impressed. The show’s premise is that Shaquille O’Neal, “the supreme athlete”, must take on other professionals in their own sport.

The premier of Shaq Vs. featured Shaq taking on Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers.  The first 45 minutes were rather boring, spent watching the two talk smack about each other and getting ready for the big showdown.  There was one very humorous part, however, when Roethlisberger actually schooled Shaq in a game of Horse.  Shaqdaddy never did have a good jumper.

Well, it was an hour-long program that easily could have been 30 minutes.  It had too much of a reality TV show feel and too much commentary.  The last 15 were worthwhile however, especially to see a 7-foot 1-inch giant parade down the football field.  You’ll have to watch it yourself to see how it all went down.
