Working the Weekend with Luke-7/6/14-Intro, Hating on GoT and Wes Anderson, Loving on Rocky and Nintendo

Welcome to the latest ripoff, er…weekly feature in the Binge Media universe, Working the Weekend with Luke. This will be unlike anything you’ve ever seen come from this website, I mean besides Monday Morning Moreno, Jack Attack Tuesday, (Working on a Title) Wednesday, Bob’s Thirsty Thursdays, and Friday Night Law. Otherwise though. Honestly, only the weekend was left and I wanted to play too.

As it pertains to this website, you’ve only known me as the Binge Media Sports guy, and no need to worry, I’ll still be doing that as well, with all the previews and polls and whatnot. Actually, check back later in the week for previews of the World Cup semifinals. I’ll still dive into some sports here as well, just not as in-depth as I do there. But hey, I know about the other things as well, you know, the movies and the music and all that shit these drunken fools yap about.

Now, it might take a few weeks to get my exact format down, but I just wanted to at least give you a little introduction as to what I’ll be doing here. It actually may be a little different than what you’ve seen from the others. To be completely honest, I don’t watch some of that shit the other guys do. For example, I don’t watch or read GAME OF THRONES.

Nope. Sure don’t little fella. I’m not knocking anybody that does enjoy it, but it’s just not for me, much like THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy wasn’t for me either. I think they’re fucking awful. Sorry, but nine hours of walking just doesn’t entertain me. A big part of the problem: this guy.

I don’t know what it is about Elijah Wood, but I just want to punch him in the face. Even though I’ve seen every single commercial ever made for WILFRED, and they were all fucking hysterical, I’ve never watched one episode due to my problem with that guy. I hear I’ve been missing out. In time maybe, in time.

I don’t like Wes Anderson movies either. Let the hating commence.

I don’t really like to play video games either, unless Golden Tee at the bar counts. There’s just too many goddamn buttons these days. Give me an “A” and a “B” and a directional pad and I’m fine (in my finest Jeff Spicoli voice).

Now that’s a controller. So if you do see me write about anything in the video game world, you’ll see pictures like this.

Admit it. If you spent a weekend playing MIKE TYSON’S PUNCH-OUT or EXCITEBIKE, you’d be fucking jacked.

Now, despite my hatred for LORD OF THE RINGS, I am a big movie guy. Yes, some of the movies I like are terrible, but at least I honestly know that when I watch them. For Binge Media Sports, I just did a revisit of NO HOLDS BARRED for God’s sake. Yes, the 1989 one with Hulk Hogan. But my all-time favorite is and forever will be ROCKY.

I’ve actually got this poster framed in my basement along with a tattoo of the silhouette of him up there on the steps. Yeah, I love it that much. My “favorite movies” list is actually much like my music collection. I enjoy a little bit of everything.

And much like the rest of the boys, I do enjoy an adult beverage or two, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

It’s also no secret how much I love women, all of them. Well, most of them. I don’t have a start date for it yet, but sometime in the future, I will be bringing a “300” list to this column. It’s a list I made about five years ago after a very interesting debate in a bar, so stay tuned for that. I’ve actually lost the original, but it probably needs to be updated anyway. Hint/Preview: this chick was the source of the argument.

So we’ll just start with that. Hopefully, you had a nice holiday weekend and didn’t blow your face off with some cheap fireworks. If you’ve recovered from your hangover, make sure to check out MONDAY MORNING MORENO tomorrow and come back for the rest of the crew all week. Once again, remember that I’ll be back with more World Cup previews for Binge Media Sports this week. If there’s anything you’d like me to discuss, let me know in the comments section below. You can also find me at The Luke Norris Experience or follow me on Twitter @THElukenorris. I’ll be back next weekend with more nonsense.
