Cee Lo Green is on another plain of existence with his voice, space-age suave and well THIS VIDEO. Not a few nights ago we saw the man dressed like some sort of War Cockatoo alongside the lovely Gwyneth Paltrow but now a new video and single has sprung up for our enjoyment of his new song “Bodies” directed by Mikael Colombu. “They say that chivalry is dead, then why is her body in my bed?” The video was shot completely with a Nikon Camera, has some cameos of Hall favorites: Janelle Monae, Raphael Saadiq and even Common… there is a bit of James Bond in there, some TRON and Cee Lo Green in a purple tint, collecting bodies in his bed. Watch for yourself and enjoy:

Many times on this site we present a side of macho that is super traditional and biased in its stance. The idea of “man” that we normally present is mistaken for the brawler athlete jock who goes to parties, gets the cheerleaders and grows up to inherit daddy’s company. We realize that it can be seen that way but it is far from the ideal that we want and that ideal is to give you that James Bond edge. I don’t mean the Roger Moore slapping women and taking the booty swagger but a bit of that Sean Connery / Piers Brosnan flair. Since it’s hard to explain to a person how to channel Bond without him trying to actually “be” Bond, we offer you some steps to get you close to the ideal for which we strive. The 007 Steps of Cool will put you on a higher level of the game in being… [Read more]

There are times when a man will find himself in a situation where he must choose between appearance and comfort. The standard of our time is to choose the latter especially if there is no need to impress a female (the man is either married or in a lengthy relationship). While this standard may seem ideal and “comfortable”, it goes away from the warrior standard. The ancient Samurai known to be the most impressive of warriors stressed appearance as well as skill on the battlefield. An unseemly appearance before and after being cut down in battle was shameful. For this an ideal Samurai would have his armor clean, and beautiful, his nails clipped and together, his hair tight and his appearance solid prior to joining the ranks to do war. Men of today use the logic of “I am going to die anyway so who cares” which is a lazy and tired outlook. A man… [Read more]

Okay look, Die Another Day left much to be desired in a Bond movie. I mean it had the debonair Piers Brosnan as 007, token black (kiss my ass colorists) Bond girl hawte Halle Berry and one epically cheesy Ice Palace that turned the first decent half into a laughable kickback to the Roger Moore smear on the series. It left fans with a bad taste in their mouth for James Bond but I remember the buzz about Halle who kicked ass as the sexy Jinx. The beauty went on to star in a movie called Cat Woman which featured a badly animated version of the villainess doing Capoeira in a designer cat suit. This abortion for lack of a better word made Batman nerds very angry. And let’s not forget that she was miscast as the African bombshell Storm in the X-Men trilogy which made nerds wince even more than Cat Woman did. Halle… [Read more]

Rule #31 (Get your own drink honey!): This should be common knowledge but since Hollywood writes it into these modern day movies, I am thinking that guys believe it to be okay to do. What am I going on about? Buying random women drinks to break the ice, this is simp activity, bitch-made guy actions. You DO NOT buy a woman a drink unless you know her prior to going there. Let me ask you this, how many times have you seen James Bond offer to buy a drink? I’m waiting, and I’ve seen all the episodes several times over, dude is always in a bar in some woman’s face. When has he bought a woman a drink? That’s right, he doesn’t do it. 007 strolls up the bartender, scopes the room for his prey, orders a Vodka Martini (shaken not stirred) and takes his drink over to her to chat her up. In Casino… [Read more]

I fear for the future, I really do and for frequent readers of my blog, this will seem like a dead horse that has been kicked, molested and kicked again but I have legitimate concern and so I write. It seems that the strong surge in feminism has caused men to tuck their tails and run for the hills in this new age. Common sense would decree that a woman can be treated fairly, be allowed the same freedoms as men and fight for respect and understanding without it imposing on a man being a man. Yet somehow it has become evident that as women succeed in these endeavors, outperforming, outmaneuvering and outdoing former women in terms of salary, success and equality, the men have resolved to dispose of characteristics, roles and behavior that at one time classified them as men. To put it bluntly, we have turned into a bunch of little bitches who… [Read more]

It is better to appear teflon to people than it is to appear vulnerable. No-one likes a malcontent who bears the weight of the world on his shoulders, but everyone respects James Bond. What does 007 have to do with this? Well he is a master of “the cool”, thus his famous words “shaken but not stirred”. To the average guys defense though, I would say that if half of us could score prime quality tail as much as Bond does, we would be aloof to stress like he is… or would we really? Mastering the cool starts with wearing a mask, it was the hardest part of the lesson for me being that I am not a liar. I have spent a lifetime trying my best to be upfront and honest with no need for facade with the flawed thinking that this would make me a “man of honor”. I took it too literally, since… [Read more]
