A review of Jerry Maguire
by B

Jerry Maguire used to be a typical sports agent: willing to do just about anything he could to get the biggest possible contracts for his clients, plus a nice commission for himself.  Then, one day a kid tells him to fuck himself and suddenly he has second thoughts about what he's really doing.  When he voices these doubts, he ends up losing his job and all of his clients, save Rod Tidwell, an egomaniacal football player.  Can Jerry resurrect his career while still staying true to himself?  Yes.  And along the way he can also complete himself and show Rod Tidwell the money!  It's a hilarious romp through the human psyche with a retarded midget boy who seeks to cement his education superiority.


I'm starting a new article, and the fish are coming with me.
Call me sentimental, but the fish are coming with me.


LittlestVampire90: D'you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?
Destinys2ndKid: Did you know that Jumbo Tsuruta was the first Five Crown King, winning the Triple Crown and the World Tag Team Titles?
LittlestVampire90: D'you know that bees and dogs can smell fear?
Destinys2ndKid: Did you know that you were on that Bronson Pinchot show "Meego" that made me want to lift you high into the air and then bring you down across my knee, to which a spear has been duct taped, so that I can devour your still beating heart from the end of said spear as your impaled body flaps like a fish and dies like said fish below?
LittlestVampire90: No.
LittlestVampire90: D'you know that my next door neighbor has three rabbits?
Destinys2ndKid: Get out of the city.


Don't worry, I'm not gonna do what you all think I'm gonna do, which is, you know, FLIP OUT!  I'm going to rave about Oscar Academy of Awards Winner Cuba Gooding Jr.'s performance as Rod Tidwell.  He is the most acclaimed and renowned "junior" since Arnold Schwarzenegger told his sperm to get to the chopper Louis Gossett's son made us learn to love again, sternly, in An Officer and a Gentleman.


A Factually Inaccurate Biography of Cuba Gooding, Jr.


Who's your motherfucker?
my dad lol

Cuba Gooding, Jr. was born to Cuba Gooding, Sr. in New York in 1968, and then starred in the Nickelodeon show Wild and Crazy Kids.  WHOA WHOA WHOA WAIT JUST A MINUTE winking emoticon


THE HORRIBLE PRE-OSCAR FILMOGRAPHY OF CUBA GOODING JR.

"Boyz N the Hood" (1991) - This saga of a group of childhood friends growing up in a Los Angeles ghetto is arguably one of the greatest African-American films ever made, featuring Cuba as the horribly named "Tre Styles" in a performance showing unlimited potential.  Laurence Fishburne acts his ass off because he is Cowboy Curtis and Cowboy Curtis fucking rules you.  This movie goes in the "horrible" section because of two very important contributions to the entertainment landscape:

1)  Ice Cube stars as "Dough Boy."  This is what I feel lead every other rapper in existence to believe that they are goddamn Laurence Olivier.  Directly responsible for Jet Li being appropriated by black people, the scene in "8 Mile" where Brittany Murphy gives Eminem a handjob, and the 20 movies where Master P smokes weed and pretends to act.

2)  John Singleton blows his wad.  His first film, at age 23, is a crucial gem of black cinema.  Singleton has gone on to direct "Poetic Justice," "Shaft," "Baby Boy," "2 Fast 2 Furious," and the Michael Jackson video where he awkwardly kisses Iman and cums by turning into a giant pile of gold. 

"Judgement" (1989) - A movie about a gang.  You can tell it's great because they misspelled the title.

"Gladiator" (1992) -  A movie about boxers.  At my signal, unleash box office Hell.

"Judgment Night" (1993) - A movie about people on their way to watch boxing who get accosted by a gang.

"Lightning Jack" (1994) - Cuba stars as a mute taken hostage by Paul "Crocodile Dundee" Hogan.  Makes everyone involved feel like they've been punched in the face and accosted by a gang.

"Outbreak" (1995) - The movie that ushered in the era of the "disaster movie."  Betsy the monkey shows up and gives everyone a horrible disease.  "Dante's Peak," "Volcano," "Deep Impact," "Armageddon," "Independence Day," "Twister," "The Perfect Storm,"  ...I'm looking in the piles of debris and dead celebrities that used to be YOUR direction. 

"Losing Isaiah" (1995) - A hilarious movie about Halle Berry being a crackhead.

Then the man WINS AN OSCAR for Jerry Maguire in 1996.  Since winning, Cuba's achievements are as follows:

- Being gay and assumedly corn-holing Greg Kinnear in "As Good as it Gets" before Kinnear is beaten to near-death by Skeet Ulrich.
- Piloting a deadly ice cream truck with Skeet Ulrich in the ice cream-centric drama "Chill Factor."
- Defending "Pearl Harbor" with a bunch of soldiers who look like Skeet Ulrich.
- Pretending to be gay to win a girl in "Boat Trip;" inadvertently ends up gay by being in "Boat Trip."
- Being gay and assumedly corn-holing Skeet Ulrich in "Snow Dogs."
- Playing a retard in "Radio."
- Playing a retard in "The Fighting Temptations."


IMurdrCrowz: I feel for you, man.
IMurdrCrowz: But a real man wouldn't shoplift the pootie from a single mom.
Destinys2ndKid: I didn't shoplift the pootie.
Destinys2ndKid: All right. I shoplifted the pootie.
Destinys2ndKid: Your courage makes me a champion, asshole.

RATING THE DRUGS THAT WILL ALLOW US TO NEVER

STOP

FUCKING

KELLY PRESTON

I will never stop fucking you using:  Viagra
Comments:  This medication is used to treat male sexual function problems (erection problems).  Viagra is taken by mouth as needed between four hours and one-half hour before sexual activity (about one hour before is most effective).  Take only as directed, usually once daily as needed.  Sildenafil works along with sexual stimulation to help achieve an erection.  Here is a funny joke:  What does Rafael Palmiero get when he takes Viagra?  A-ROD.  Oh stop being such a fucking woman and get your cock to work, you fucking woman.

I will never stop fucking you using:  Levitra
Comments:  Levitra® is a new impotence drug that treats male erectile dysfunction, ED. According to a recent news release by Bayer/GSK, ninety percent (90%) of men reported improved erections. Each Levitra pill may work in as quickly as 25 minutes and may work for up to 24 hours.  So I hope you enjoy stiffing an old lady for a whole day.

I will never stop fucking you using:  Scientology
Comments:  The full body of knowledge that comprises the Scientology religion is contained in more than forty-million spoken and written words on the subject—all by L. Ron Hubbard, the source and founder of Scientology.  The experiences of millions over the course of several decades show Dianetics and Scientology to be the most effective and practical path to spiritual improvement of any religion this world has seen.

And in the end, it is truly Scientology that will never stop fucking you.


Help me help you finish this article.

PROGRESSIVE BOINK MISSION STATEMENT

The key to website success is personal relationships.

The people I write with here at this site are legitimately like my family.  Emily is my best friend.  Nick reminds me of the joy I had when I started writing online.  The guys and girls on the forum make me want to celebrate or punch humanity, but nevertheless get an emotional response from me, as I value their thoughts, opinions, and feedback.  Jon Klammy Justin is like the lover who tells me that he'll show but never does, but keeps me waiting by the phone on Saturday nights.  And above it all, my mentor, the reason I got into this business, our Big Boss Jon, gave me this advice:

Exactly two years from now, B, you will write an article about how "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is more like "Ferris Bueller's GAY Off".  This will propel you to superstardom.  On June 13, 2006, at approximately 8:43 AM, your phone will ring.  Whatever you do, do not answer it.

Oh, and B.  I know you're looking at a Volkswagen Passat right now.

Buy the Passat.


And that's what Progressive Boink is all about.  Personal relationships.  Battling through writers block.  Writing entire paragraphs devoted to FORUM MEMBER EMMALENE, who is easily the coolest vagina possessor on the planet.  FORUM MEMBER EMMALENE makes these things worthwhile.  EMMALENE is the child looking up from my windowsill requesting a second helping of the funny.  Entire paragraphs to EMMALENE is what this website is about.  Personal relationships.  Fewer jokes.  Fewer entertaining posts.  Fewer hits.  More paragraphs about FORUM MEMBERS like EMMALENE.

But for all of you -- the readers and the forum member, the friends and the inspirations --  I am out here for you. You don't know what it's like to be ME out here for YOU. It is an up-at-dawn, pride-swallowing siege that I will never fully tell you about, ok?  I will not rest until I have you holding a Coke, wearing your own shoe, playing a Sega game *featuring you*, while singing your own song in a new commercial, *starring you*, broadcast during the Superbowl, in a game that you are winning, and I will not *sleep* until that happens.

We live in a cynical world. A cynical world. And we work in a business of tough competitors. I love you, Progressive Boink. You...complete me.

And now, what you've all been waiting for.


SHOW ME THE MONEY

SHOW ME THE MONEY

SHOW ME THE MONEY AS WELL

MONEY SHOULD BE IN FRONT OF YOU AS WE SPEAK

OH HERE IS THE MONEY THANK YOU I SEE IT

WHAT A PLEASANT ENDING

BRB ALL THE OTHER SAMURAIS ARE DEAD
