Luke Dunphy---Genius!

Those who watch the hit TV show Modern Family are familiar with odd ball Luke Dunphy and his somewhat "dumb" persona.

But I bet many didn't know that the actor who portrays him is anything but stupid. 

In fact Nolan Gould (Luke Dunphy), 13, has already graduated high school and is going on to pursue college courses. He is also a member of Mensa, with an IQ of 150 and plays an array of very different instruments; including the banjo, didgeridoo and is now learning how to play the sitar.  

This may not be new news, but its new to me.

I was completely shocked and every time I look at him now I don't see "dumb" Luke Dunphy. 

Its a charade now. I almost wish I never found out he was a genius.

I'm also quite a bit jealous and wish I had the focus he has, but instead I feel as though I identify more with Luke Dunphy.

What a conundrum.

Taken 2

Last night I was invited out to go see "Taken 2", but am unfamiliar with the first installment of the film "Taken", so I 'IMDB'ed it.
Immediately as I started watching the "Taken" trailer I bursted out laughing! I had practically already seen it.
How so, you may ask: Family Guy!
"Family Guy" had done a parody of the film in a 30 minute slot, one of many I have seen and loved.
Aside from that I decided to go see "Taken 2"; though I feared that I would only see "Family Guy" while watching the film.
Luckily that wasn't the case.
I really enjoyed the movie.
It was fast paced. Action packed. and had not just myself, but others in the theater visibly on the edge of their seats.
I recommend that people who enjoy action cinema to go and see this thrill based sequel  that has Liam Neeson go from "old guy" to action packed hunk.
