AskMen Announces Top 49 Most Influential Men Of 2009

AskMen Announces Top 49 Most Influential Men Of 2009

Posted on 06 Oct 2009 at 1:56pm

After More Than Half A Million Votes Cast, Don Draper #1 on AskMen.com’s Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2009

Los Angeles, California (October 6, 2009) – AskMen.com the world’s largest lifestyle portal for men with more than 11 million visitors monthly, revealed its highly anticipated 4th annual reader-voted list of the Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2009 today.

The list assembles a diverse collection of men from around the world and from a variety of industries including entertainment, politics, technology, and sports. All the honorees had a direct effect on the way men see the world, and notably in 2009, many reflect classic values that are most meaningful to the male identity today.

“In a turbulent 2009, men are seeking the stability of tradition in the masculine qualities that they imagine their fathers and grandfathers to have had,” says James Bassil, Editor-in-Chief of AskMen.com. “The character of Don Draper brings all these traits together, and in doing so speaks directly to the modern man. He’s a man whose time has come.”

Others on the list embody a host of classic qualities; Usain Bolt as the personification of competitive and athletic ability, President Barack Obama asthe male portrait of classic statesmanship, Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs as pillars of entrepreneurial spirit and determination.

For the complete list of 2009’s most influential men head on over to AskMen.

Max's 'Beer' Goes Down Easy

Max’s ‘Beer’ Goes Down Easy

Posted on 23 Sep 2009 at 12:06am

After reading some of the reviews floating around the internet, I was a bit skeptical coming in to see Tucker Max’s new film “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell.” Entering the Arclight Dome, I nearly ate shit trying to climb up to the press section on my crutches. Great start. Luckily a cute usher came to my aid, and I got a healthy view of cleavage for my efforts with none of the guilt. And handicapped people think they have it rough.

Without giving too much away, the story centers around three friends Tucker (Matt Czuchry), Drew (Jesse Bradford), and Dan (Geoff Stults) who set off to the holy grail of strip clubs to give the soon-to-be groom, Dan, a bachelor party before he exchanges vows with his adorable fiance Kristy (Keri Lynn Pratt).

Jesse Bradford absolutely stole the show. Drew’s constant barrage of one-liners reminded me of a nerdy, woman-hating Don Rickles. His quick wit is matched only by stripper Lara (Marika Dominczyk) who seems to be the only one to effectively put him in his place.

Czuchry and Stults equally delivered with their performances, the latter carefully acting to counter-balance the former’s raging narcissism. Though most college men wish they could be Tucker, more probably identify with Dan who manages to have fun while being in monogamous relationship.

What I soon learned was that critics who had reviewed the film neglected the most important part of the viewing experience. Was the film funny? Absolutely and undeniably. It accomplished what it set out to do: make the audience hurt with laughter, rarely leaving time for them to breathe.

Max has already caught the attention of feminist groups on his premiere tour. The ironic part about their insistence to protest a film they haven’t seen is that their viewpoint of Max is clearly articulated and framed within the narrative. Many of the female characters reject and call out Tucker for being a misogynist asshole. Two in particular get their sweet revenge, leading to one of the most epic shit scenes in film history (an oft-ignored cinematic staple).

The one disappointing aspect of the premiere experience was the question and answer session. Some of questions had to be among the worst on tour (”Do you get emails about Tucker Max death mix?” “Can you re-enact the Tucker/Slingblade dialog from the book?” “Can we see your ass?”… asked by a dude). Luckily M.C. Bill Dawes was able to save the sinking ship by humorously deflecting the lame requests.

I wanted to hear Tucker expand more on the unique approach to making and releasing the film. Few times has an independent film with broad comic appeal seen wide release and even fewer have seen box office success. The fact that he’s opted not to go the traditional distribution route but instead chosen to self-release makes it all the more remarkable. But make no mistake, if Tucker is successful in his approach, he could be to film what Trent Reznor is to the music industry.

Tucker and Nils mentioned that they had plans for sequels with everyone in the cast signed on with the exception of Bradford. I can’t really blame Jesse though, his role made the film and he’s going to be looking for a huge payday after the final box office receipts have been tallied. He’d be worth every penny.

Additional highlights include:

-Drew Curtis of Fark referencing the Glenn Beck 1990 rape joke of which a handful in the crowd got.

-Mark Ebner’s catcalls from the press gallery.

-An Armenian apologizing for the existence of Glendale. Long overdue, I might add.

*It’s a well known fact that every movie review title must contain an oh-so-clever pun. Hey, I don’t make the rules.

An Open Letter to In-N-Out

An Open Letter to In-N-Out

Posted on 15 Sep 2009 at 2:36pm

Dear Demagogues of In-N-Out,

Since moving to California in the summer of 2001, I have had the pleasure of experiencing your restaurant unlike many of my fellow compatriots along the eastern seaboard and flyover states. Though I am an atheist, I have never batted an eye about the Bible passages emblazoned on the cups and wrappers. Who has time to pick up a Bible and read when you’re busy choking down food like it’s the last supper meal you’ll ever receive? Full admission, In-N-Out is the closest I have ever come to touching god, a god covered in cheese and saucy spread.

But upon my last visit, I had a revelation of my own. I ordered my typical double-double animal style with a strawberry shake when it hit me. Bacon. The bacon didn’t hit me literally, for I would’ve been the first ever to be hospitalized by deliciousness. Nay, like a peyote desert vision, it came to me. What could possibly improve an In-N-Out burger more than bacon? Like all things in the universe, the answer comes back to bacon. And 42. 42 strips of lightly crisped pork.

This doesn’t need to be a permanent addition to the menu. You may tease us with its presence seasonally, like a spring breeze lightly billowing a skirt on a pair of tanned California legs. You could make it a seven day affair, like ‘Shark Week’ on Discovery Channel with ketchup substituted for chum. Quite possibly, you could only allow it for only a day, like the celebration of the birth of your Lord and Savior. Merry Baconmas.

If the worry is freshness, fear not my carnivorous friends: bacon can be refrigerated up to 2 weeks. Not that you’d have to worry about storing the bacon for long, since every red-blooded American will request demand those strips of salty swine faster than you could keep it in stock.

Below, you will find other patrons of your restaurant who have signed an internet petition, which is about as worthless a communications degree from Arizona State. Nevertheless, you will find that support is far-reaching and open like the legs of a communications major at Arizona State (Just kidding, you know I love you, ladies).

Deliciously yours,
Sean

Kanye West Dethrones Taylor Swift At MTV VMAs 2009

Kanye West Dethrones Taylor Swift At MTV VMAs 2009

Posted on 14 Sep 2009 at 12:26am

Not that I’m really surprised Kanye West’s dumbass decided to act himself, grab the mic from Taylor Swift during her award speech at the 2009 MTV VMAs and embarrass just about everyone in the building (besides himself) by suggesting Beyonce should have won the award for best something instead of Taylor Swift, I just hoped that when he did it, he would not be, for once is his life, wearing sunglasses indoors.

I used to do that when I was fifteen and I stopped because I learned you can’t wear sunglasses inside and not be a d-bag. Then again I could afford expensive ass sunglasses when I was fifteen… I guess when you just start making money you gotta flaunt it all the time like an uneducated bastard.

Here’s the video.

If you’ve been to Vegas but have never been to the Hard Rock Hotel to party at Rehab, you haven’t really seen Vegas.

You’ve been called on by prostitutes roaming the strip, you’ve puked down the straw of your 80 oz. margarita filled guitar and woke up at 6 am. next to a blond and an empty bottle of Don Julio at the Bellagio pool despite your engagement to an unhappy woman waiting for you to come home to your room at Mandalay Bay, but unless you have gone to Rehab, you haven’t seen the scantily-clad women and the excessive debauchery that make the Hard Rock pool on Sundays the greatest party in Las Vegas.

If you are this unlucky person who is yet to attend the hottest party on the strip, you’re in luck because TruTV is bringing the sex, the booze, the fights and the babes of Rehab directly to your television set every Tuesday at 10p/9c – and the best part… no hangovers.

Because your sorry ass can’t afford a flight out to the shining city, trvTV’s Rehab is your chance to live vicariously through the lucky guys who are getting the sexy tail you should be getting too. And no, this isn’t your scripted reality MTV-The-Hills-Of Lagunaport-Harbor b.s. this is real life television where the camera crew follows and records the sexy action as opposed to creating the action.

This is the real deal. Check it out below.

Does Rehab sound appetizing? Join the sweepstakes to win a chance to party like a rock star at Rehab at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino pool. You can enter by clicking here.


Official Trailer For Heath Ledger's Last Film

Official Trailer For Heath Ledger’s Last Film

Posted on 08 Aug 2009 at 11:57am

From Trailer Addict, “set in the present day, director Terry Gilliam’s fantastical morality tale follows the traveling show of the mysterious Dr. Parnassus — a man who once won a bet with the Devil himself, and possesses the unique ability to guide the imagination of others.”

The international trailer for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus shows the first footage of Colin Farrell, Johnny Depp and Jude Law who co-star in the film.

Looks pretty intense, despite the fact that it reminds me of that Travelers Insurance commercial… Not that that’s a bad thing.

A Day Without Megan Fox

A Day Without Megan Fox

Posted on 28 Jul 2009 at 1:50pm

Our good friends at Asylum.com have asked us to take part in A Day Without Megan Fox on August 4th, 2009 and we’re delighted to do so.

Sure she’s one of the sexiest young female actors, but in order to preserve both her sexiness and her freshness, we need to tone down the over foxposure.

She’s like the Will Ferrell of hot young actresses and she’s at the Old School point of her career. Preventing her overexposure is like Will Ferrell retroactively declining roles in Semi Pro and Blades of Glory. Had we done this earlier, we might have been able to save her from assuming Jennifer’s Body – sorry Megan.

The premise is simple. No Megan Fox news, pics, boobs, reviews, or hideous tattoos for a day.

Also participating: AskMen, Boobie Blog, Whip It Out Comedy, Double Viking, On205th, I Heart Chaos, Yep Yep, Just a Guy Thing, The Bachelor Guy, and Asylum UK, Australia, France and Germany. If you are a member of the media who would like to join the Day Without Megan Fox movement, or you have a suggestion for the next starlet to take over the Internet, email Asylum.com

For the complete details and original Day Without Megan Fox Video, head to Asylum.com
