Culture: Bret Michaels realizes he’s a lucky bastard, plans to live that way

  • As painful as this experience has been, I was given a second chance, right? I don’t want to sit around every night worrying this is going to happen again.
  • Poison lead singer (and lucky bastard) Bret Michaels • Regarding his brain hemorrhage, an experience which nearly left him dead. As it is, he suffered short-term memory loss but is expected to make a full recovery. Given a second chance, he plans to take full advantage of it. “What I want to do is make a positive bucket list and say ‘I’m just gonna go for it,'” he said. Our take? It’s kind of like an inversion of the philosophy behind “Every Rose Has its Thorn.” Every thorn is attached to a rose. Bret Michaels seems to have taken this to heart. source

Culture: Happy Cinco de Mayo. Here’s the awesome “Machete” trailer

    What a perfect movie for the current political climate. “Machete,” originally a fake trailer in the “Grindhouse” double feature, has a new trailer with a lot more stars (we now have our Lindsay Lohan and Robert de Niro connection for “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon!”) but a plot that remains true to the original, funny, awesome idea. Danny Trejo is still Machete, and this film is still a quote-unquote “Mexploitation” film directed by Robert Rodriguez. For the win. source
