If you like comics you need to read Jeff Lemires new series Sweet Tooth. I've only read issues 1 & 3 but I love it. I've been a huge Jeff Lemire fan since I met him in 2007 at the Hobbystar Fan Appreciation event. I was instantly drawn to his style & after reading everything he's done I can say that Lemire is an amazing artist & writer. Do yourself a favor & go check out Sweet Tooth, it's BRILLIANT. 
BRUNO - It's funny, it's basically gay Borat. Probably the gayest movie ever. GREAT
The FUGITIVE - I recently rewatched the Fugitive starring Harrison Ford & Tommy Lee Jones, & it is as BRILLIANT as it was in 1993. I love it. One of the best movies ever. 
DISTRICT 9 - When D9 came out in theaters a few months ago I had a friend tell me the whole story so i wouldn't have to watch it. My friends were watching it so I sat in and I really liked it. I like the documentary style of District 9. GREAT 
FUNNY PEOPLE - This movie started off really good, it was just too long. Rogen, Hill, Schwartzman, & Bana are all hilarious, & Sandler was better than he'd been in 10 years. I enjoyed the mixture of comedy with serious drama & the cameos by a ton of comedians (oh & Eminem). I know Judd Apatow had full control of this project and it was very personal to him, but that's exactly the problem with it. Funny People would be a lot better if it was cut & edited to make it tighter and less drawn out. PRETTYGOOD 
RUSHMORE - The first time I watched a Wes Anderson film was The Darjeeling LTD. (with the Digital Kontent boys) & I was very impressed. In fact, I was so impressed that I waited 2 and a half years before I watched another. Rushmore is great. I loved everyones performances in this movie. I love Wes Anderson's style of filmmaking. BRILLIANT. I think I will check out The Royal Tenenbaums, next.

Josh Koscheck def. Anthony Johnson by submission (rear-naked choke), rd. 2 - Kos fought a good fight & a smart one. Johnson needs to work a ton on his ground game if he plans to be a complete fighter. Rumble has a ton of potential & is very young but he always looks absolutely lost on the ground.
I liked when Koscheck called out Hardy & said he hasn't fought anyone good, even though he just beat his AKA teammate the week before. Thumbs up to Koscheck for trying to get a title shot by running his mouth. It worked for Carwin.
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira def. Louis Arthur Cane by TKO, rd. 1. - wow! I really underestimated Lil' Nog. I picked Cane to win because I thought he had the advantage in striking & Rogerio hasn't looked that impressive lately. I was wrong, Nog was lean and fast with very crisp boxing. I am excited to see Nogueira makes some waves in UFC's stacked light-heavyweight division.
Amir Sadollah def. Phil Baroni by decision (unanimous) - Baroni is Baroni, he fought exactly how we thought he would, he got the crap kicked out of him but he's tough as hell. Sadollah was not that impressive in his 3 round beating of Baroni. We'll see what happens with Sadollah but I remain unconvinced that he is a quality welterweight. I did find that Baroni's blood all over Sadollah was very aesthetically pleasing. 
Paulo Thiago def. Jacob Volkmann by decision (unanimous) - There was a lot of great technical grappling in this fight. Volkmann clearly needs to work on his striking. I like Thiago, I think he's earned his spot among the top 10 welterweights.
Ben Saunders def. Marcus Davis by KO, rd. 1 - I was blown away by Saunders knocking out Davis. Saunders looked more mature then in his fight against Swick, but what will he be able to do when he can't knee his opponent from the clinch?
Kendall Grove def. Jake Rosholt by submission (triangle choke), rd. 1 - Jake was all over Grove, throwing him around like a ragdoll. Rosholt needs to work on his submission defense & not tap the second he gets caught. 
Caol Uno & Fabricio Camoes Draw (majority) - I didn't get to see this fight. They say Camoes would've won if he didn't hit Uno with an illegal strike in round 2.
Brian Foster def. Brock Larson by submission (strikes), rd. 2 - Brock didn't look like he'd ever trained anything but top position grappling. I thought Foster wasn't ready for the UFC yet but he looked good. I am excited for Fosters next fight.
George Sotiropopulos def. Jason Dent by submission (armbar), rd. 2 - Both guys looked pretty good. Dent showed some quality striking but it was Sotiropoulos' more rounded game that proved too much for him.
Paulo Thiago (169) vs. Jacob Volkmann (170) - I was pissed that we aren't getting the Dustin Hazelett/Karo Parisyan fight, due to Karo pulling out last minute. I really wanted to see Hazelett back in action & I thought the Parisyan fight was a great match up. On the plus side, Thiago vs Volkmann has been moved to the main card. Everyone seems to be on the Volkmann bandwagon. He's 9-0 coming into this fight & can apparently take anyone down. To be honest, I've never seen Volkmann fight before but it doesn't seem he's fought anyone at Thiago's level. I've been very impressed with Paulo in his 2 fights in the UFC, I am gonna take Thiago by Decision. 
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (205) vs. Luis Cane (205) - This fight has to be the saving grace of this card. With all the changes UFC 106 has gone through, I wouldn't be as excited as I am if not for this match up. I like Lil' Nog but I have to go with Cane (pronounced Con-eh, not Cane). I don't think Rogerio is the fighter his brother is & I see Cane getting the better of him on the feet, & being able to stay out of trouble if it does go to the ground. Cane by TKO, rd 3.
Amir Sadollah (170) vs. Phil Baroni (170) - Baroni is a joke. If Sadollah loses to him then he's an even bigger bigger joke. Sadollah by armbar, rd 2. 
On Spike: 
I'm pretty happy to see that I picked the upset Aldo TKO round 2 & went 8-2 in my picks. Jose Aldo is a beast & I look forward to him defending his 145lb title. Not sure what his next fight will be but I know he'll be fighting Urijah Faber if 'the California Kid' can get by Assuncao in January. I also look forward to seeing how Mike Brown recovers & moves forward from losing his title & how he plans to improve to get it back. 
While not super excited about this whole card, I am very very eager to see one of the best featherweight match ups ever with rising star Jose Aldo vs Champ Mike Brown. here's my picks,
Randy Couture def. Brandon Vera by Decision - Like everyone, I thought Brandon Vera should've got the 'W' from the judges, but I was not surprised to see him do 'not enough' to sway the judges his way. I felt like Randy wasted too much time fighting for the takedown & not getting it. When Randy started to dirty box in the clinch in rounds 2 & 3 he started having some success. If Vera continues to second guess himself he will never be in contention for a title & will always be a 'win 2, lose 1' kind of fighter. I scored it Rd1 10-10, Rd2 10 -9 Vera, Rd3 10-9 Vera, 30-28 Vera. The judges gave the win to Randy because I believe most MMA judges don't understand the difference between octagon control/aggressiveness & EFFECTIVE octagon control/effective aggressiveness. 
Dan Hardy def Mike Swick, by Decision - I was very impressed with Hardy's improved takedown defense. Looks like 'the Outlaw' is next in line for a welterweight title shot. Along with the good majority of MMA fans, I don't think Hardy will stand much of a chance against GSP. While Hardy has great striking skills & a solid chin, he repeatedly got hit by Swick's jab, while St Pierre likes to rely on his double & sometimes triple jab. Hardy may have been able to stuff Swicks takedown attempts but GSPs double leg takedowns are second to none. I still want to see this fight, Hardy always has a punchers chance. Matt Serra did.
Michael Bisping def Denis Kang by TKO, rd 2 - I can't think of another fighter that can have early success & then just completely fall apart like Kang does. I will say that Bisping showed off some improved offensive wrestling but in reality, Kang lost that fight more than Bisping won it. 
Matt Brown def. James Wilks by TKO, rd 3 - Brown showed an improved gas tank & this fight went exactly as I thought it would.
Ross Pearson def. Aaron Riley by TKO (cut, doctor stoppage), rd 2 - Pearson is a beast & the second I saw Riley's face get busted open I knew it was over. I would really like to see Ultimate Fighter 8 Lightweight winner, Efrain Escudero vs Ultimate Fighter 9 Lightweight winner, Pearson but I highly doubt Zuffa would put that together just yet. Pearson should make some noise @ 155lbs.
John Hathaway def. Paul Taylor Decision (Unanimous)UFC 105
•Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera - This is the hardest fight for me to pick, but I'll go with Randy to push Vera up against the cage & beat him up for 3 rounds. A lot of people are saying that Vera's Greco-Roman background will help him to counter Randy's great wrestling techniques but I've seen Randy do what he always does against better wrestlers than Vera. On top of that Vera has turn into a counter striker that doesn't really counter, & second guesses himself too much. Vera should've finished Krystof Soszynski & he has all the skills in the world to stop a 46 year old Couture but I'll take Randy by Decision.
•Dan Hardy vs. Mike Swick - Another tough one to call. I think Hardy has the advantage standing up, but as long as Swick comes with a good game plan & takes it to the ground he should get the win. I like Hardy but I don't think he'll get past the more well rounded Swick. Ill take Swick by Decision.
Aaron Riley vs Ross Pearson - Riley is the lightweight gatekeeper & Pearson should get the win here. Riley is tough as hell though so I think Pearson by Decision.
