New Shot of Bane

Here, ladies and Crabs, is a good shot of Tom Hardy's Bane in the Dark Knight Rises. I'm still unsure how I feel about it, looks pretty OK. Oh well, make your own calls. I don't think it will touch either of the first two; I just remember how excited I was at the end of the first one when commish said "he calls himself the Joker". Good land those were great times. Can't believe the Giants lost to the Eagles tonight...dang that sucks. PACE

Rumored: Jurassic Park IV


Obviously, anyone who even has half the IQ of a Boston fan likes the Jurassic Park franchise. Sure, the third one was kinda lame (no Goldblum? Fail.) and the second one wasn't as good as the first, but I think that was expected. With the new technology these days, a fourth installment could be visually amazing and a great film experience. Rumored on IMDB.com are Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum reprising their roles as Doctors Grant and Malcolm. In my opinion, bringing these iconic characters back is a must. Throw in a half decent story line, new dinosaurs (including water creatures, please), and people getting eaten and you have a huge blockbuster hit. I know this movie has been rumored on and off for years, but apparently it is actually being worked on now. Spielberg announced at the 2011 comic con that they plan on releasing the film in the next 2-3 years. Also, I heard that the beautiful Keira Knightley was rumored to have a role. I don't know why they wouldn't make at least one more of these movies. Now would be a great time for a come back; and there are so many different directions you could take a film concerning dinosaurs. Cool Beans? Head over to IMDB.com for more information even though there isn't much.

The Book Of CRAB

To whom it may concern,
On the latest CRAB journey, Crab Pitt, Len Crabitz, Leonardo DiCrabrio, and Joseph Gordon Crabitt sailed across the forsaken seas to a forbidden land of death and plunder. Whilst slaying countless souls, Pitt, formerly the Crabtain, lay his eyes on the very bindings of CRAB history. What we set out for, we found. And we read. And we wrote. And now, we share with the world:

the ancient CRAB writings. This is not for the faint hearted. Many men had to die for this collection of "guidelines" and accounts to be brought forth to your eyes. Before we present to you the wonders in the work, we must finish copying over the original transcripts. We want to make sure every story, historical event, rule, period, comma, and drawing is accounted for and transported properly. As soon as we can reveal the information we will. Have a Crabby night, afternoon, and morning. PACE!

Schaub Down; Favre In?

So as you all have probably heard, Houston Texans QB Matt Schaub is out indefinitely with a foot injury of some sort. This leaves the AFC favorites (in some eyes) in a bit of a jiffy. Matt Leinart will be replacing him and what we've seen of him so far hasn't been too promising. I find it interesting that he got the boot in Arizona and didn't play a game for Houston last season (is this historically accurate?) and yet they are relying on him to get the job done. Profootball talk had a post today about the Texans possibly bringing in all-time great Brett Favre. Yes, I know I talk about Favre a lot on the blog but it is not enough. And this time I am dead serious; Favre to Houston could be a possibility. Bring Favre in with Andre Johnson, Foster and Tate with a revamped Wade Phillip defense and you might just get to the superbowl (and lose to the packers). I think it would be a brilliant move. Who could stop them in the AFC? Not the pats or ravens...maybe the steelers but I doubt it. The Jets won't make playoffs (at least I don't think so...but I am overly critical because I analyze every game), and I don't see the Bengals stopping them or the Titans if they come close. Raiders and Chargers are both hit-or-miss teams. I don't know, I just think they'd go to the house. The world would hate Favre more for coming back but don't count the idea out, the man is still a player and would beat out more than half the QB's for a starting job. Best Ever.
BTW- The movie "The Punisher" with Thomas Jane and Travolta is horrible. Couldn't watch more than 40 mins.

What Happens if Rodgers Gets Hurt?


With the NFL's most elite team ravishing and astonishing every week, its tough to say what would happen with their MVP quarterback going down with an injury. I'm sure they'd still make playoffs considering they are 8-0 and therefore undefeated in the division and conference. Anyway, do you think they would sign somebody else or hope that Flynn could lead them to a somewhat decent playoff run? Would they give up on the season or sign Brett Favre (that is what every team should try to do). I just would be really interested to see what would happen to this team. They are the sure choice in the NFC, and pretty much the sure choice to win it all this year. Who in the shaky AFC could take them down? I think the Jets Pass D could slow that offense down; but the Jets offense couldn't win it. I don't think the ravens are any good; they lost to the Jaguars, struggled against the cardinals, and only beat the Jets with takeaways (no offensive accomplishment), lost to the titans, and beat St.Louis(goodone...). This ravens team can only beat the steelers because it is a heated division rivalry. The panthers can beat the saints, the vikings could beat the packers. It really doesn't mean much. So I just wanted to do a quick post and influence teams to resign Favre because he's the greatest thing to happen to football. Ever. PACE.

The Best Soda's

Today we're talking soda's, and boy is it important to me. I have always been an avid 'pop' drinker since I was a wee lad. I can remember my mother bringing home a two-liter of mountain dew once a week as well as the knock off band 12 packs of Coke and orange soda. Being the soda connoisseur that I am, I have tasted nearly all the flavors roundabout the world. Today I will rank the top 5 soda's, and if you disagree with them then you have horrible taste. Just Kidding.

5). Orange Soda (pick your brand)
This is an old stand-by for the CRAB family. I feel like it is almost a promise that one of us will drink and orange soda with our meal, usually Len or DiCrabs. There really isn't any way to go wrong with orange soda, I'd have it with breakfast.

4).Mt. Dew
This originally would have made number one on my list. Me and Len grew up chugging the stuff like a biker chugs water or Goldblum pounds absolute on ice. Since then, however, it has fallen, but it has fallen to itself in two ways.

3).Vanilla Coke
I love coke. That's why I love the movie American Gangster.
But I also love Coke products. I will take nestea over brisk, mello yello over dew, (spoiler alert), Barq's over any other root beer, and of course, Coca-Cola over Pepsi. The addition of vanilla into this drink = great success. Hard to argue that one.

2). Mello Yello
I tell everybody that this is my favorite soda, only because I oft forget about my number one choice and its rarity. But Mello has such a great, smooth taste when its cold and your thirsty. Would I drink it warm? Nah. The only soda I have ever chugged warm was orange soda, and I didn't enjoy it all that much. This is the soda I buy the most and am highly considering getting tattooed on my face.

1). Mt. Dew: Baja Blast
This is the best soda out there. Too bad you can only get it at Taco Bell, and I am not at Taco Bell enough. Absence makes the heart grow fonder that is for sure, but even if these were sold in 12 packs my heart would still beat for the liquid gold. If you haven't tried the blue-green goodness, bring yourself out for mexican food and order a large soda. And refill it multiple times before you leave. They don't even put this ish in a can.

Honorable Mentions: Mt. Dew White out and Grape Soda. Also, Stewart's Root Beer because it is in a bottle

Reservoir Dogs Review


Hey CRAB people,
Just saw Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs for the first time the other night, and saw it on bluray. Pretty cool, not gonna lie. The bluray part I mean. Not so much the movie.

Tarantino's style is so unique and I don't know if I'll ever be a fan of it. It's just weird; like the weird where I sit there and just think "this guy tried way too hard to be unique." You can be unique without being weird, hence Inception, Boondock Saints, ect. Anyway, I dislike how the plot works. I dislike the long and boring beginning scene and I dislike the way the whole movie moves in general. The acting was pretty good, no complaints there. I just really couldn't get into this movie. Not the greatest character development and not really any likable characters. The idea for the movie was very cool, I just don't like how we're thrown into the middle of it with little clue to whats going on. It would be a lot more enjoyable in my opinion, if instead of flashbacks to tell the stories, they just told the story. I wish we saw the cops, the robbery, ya know, the important stuff. And I understand that Tarantino wanted to do the movie this way and good for him for doing it, it just wasn't my style. Fact- this is not a bad movie. I am just stating that I did not like it. I feel like it could have been a lot better and for all the hype it gets I was very disappointed. But hey, it happens. And hey, my 11th grade teacher ruined fight club for me. Great job! Anyway, see the movie if you havent, then see if you agree with me. Peace out Crabby peeps its been way too long a day.

ACTING:7
CAMERA WORK: 6.5
PLOT:6
REPLAY VALUE: Moderately low
OVERALL(Out of 10, not an average): 5

If you're wondering why I gave it such a low score, its because I couldn't think of other categories to rate; but I'm sure they would be lower than 5's because I didn't enjoy the movie much.
