Bro Time

Well it's been awhile, but Bro Time is back with another gripping tale of victory, greedy screen actors, and the crowning of a life lost.

Let me first begin with the gripping tale of victory, as the Steelers played host to their longtime rivals the Dallas Cowboys. These two teams have squared off in the Super Bowl 3 times, Pittsburgh having the upperhand 2-1. The game began slow, as far as offense goes. At the half the teams were tied at 3. Then Dallas finds a way to get ahead 13-3 in the third quarter, but the Steelers used momentum from the defense to eventually grind out a touchdown, and within 24 seconds of gameplay the defense intercepted and ran it in for a second touchdown that went on to seal the win for them, making their record 10-3.

The Screen Actors Guild is calling all members together to decide if they want to go on strike when their current contract expires with Hollywood moguls. One problem with the SAG's plan to strike is the major issue of the economy. How can the Screen Actors ask for better contracts when the economy is in shambles? If they do decide to go on strike, it would be before the Academy Awards on February 22nd, so that the strike would disrupt the event. Many SAG members have publicly criticized the Guild for asking so much, including Danny Devito, Rhea Perlman, and former SAG prexy Richard Masur.

Down under, the Australian Film Institute bestowed the late Heath Ledger with the international award for actor. His work in The Dark Knight, out this Tuesday on DVD, won him the award. Heath is expected to be up for Best Actor at the Academy Awards in February. I watched the film about a week ago and I'm still amazed at how talented of an actor he was. I wish I could have been on set to see him between takes staying in character. I'm not even a real fan of Batman movies, comic books and stuff kinda bore me, but The Dark Knight wasn't even a batman movie, the show was stolen by Heath Ledger who created one of the most terrifying creatures in recent film history with his role.

That's it for Bro Time, Balls yeah!
