I’m not a Big Adam Carolla fan, but this looks fun.

The Hammer Movie Trailer | /Film

Jerry Ferro’s (Adam Carolla) 40th birthday has brought his life into sharp relief and it’s not a pretty picture. A once-promising amateur boxer — who quit so he wouldn’t risk his perfect record of underachievement — Jerry has been knocking around from one construction job to another and spinning his wheels in an unsatisfying relationship, all the while with an eye toward eventually getting his shit together.

When venerable boxing coach Eddie Bell (Tom Quinn) asks Jerry if he’d like to spar a couple of rounds with Malice Blake (Harold House Moore), an up-and-coming pro, Jerry reluctantly steps into the ring.

Finally, someone with a photographic memory using it for good, not evil.

Kevin’s also a serious Hulk fan,
and he gifted me with this list of EVERY reason that Dr. David
Banner was driven to Hulk out. It makes very funny reading.

• Locked in a drunk tank with a crazy person who insists he is Ernest Hemingway and then beats the stuffing out of David

Medical Adoptions Home

Finding high-quality organs in a timely fashion can often be a problem. You can’t buy them for any price legally, and attempts to do so often end in the disasters only afforded by the underground, black market of illicit organs.

If you need a lifesaving organ transplant, you have to meet strict, often unfair criteria, and then wait for your turn to come up on the list, regardless of urgency. You might get the pound of flesh you need to continue your life, and you might not
