Pirates of the Caribbean parts 2 & 3?
Wednesday, June 29, 2005
Kingdom Hearts II
I don’t know if anyone ever played Kingdom Hearts, but the first game was really fun for a Disney/Square Enix game. It took characters from many classic Disney films and brought them together with Final Fantasy Characters. The cool thing was they actually got most of the voice actors from the Disney movies to reprise their roles. Besides, what’s better than seeing all the Disney Villains work together.
Well, Kingdom Hearts 2 is coming out and I have good news. It looks like the Characters from Pirates of the Caribbean, and Mulan will be in the game this time. And YES, Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush and Orlando Bloom will be reprising their roles in the game! This is very cool.
Guess who else may reprise his role? Eddie Murphy as Mushu from Mulan. (this one is a big IF) There are many more famous people listed to reprise their roles in the game, here is the list.

I just can’t wait to play this game.

Then they will wipe out all the human-like people throughout the galaxy to make sure nobody will ever repeat the mistake that is Shatner singing.
I could watch this crap for years to come. This is pretty bad.

BibleMan (Somebody tell Batman to sue)
One day I was clicking through the sea of TV channels, but then I saw something strange catch my eye. Quickly, I turned back, and I saw it. Is it a plane, bird, or a Jackson, no it’s Bibleman. I was drawn to this poorly acted episode like a fly to crap. Somebody decided to make a Superhero that would fight the deadly sins. The quality is really bad, and the FX is near Doctor Who style. The Acting is beyond awful.
Whenever he fights, he pulls out a light saber (it’s not called that, because I’m sure Lucas would sue. I would). Here is why he’s called Bibleman, he speaks random passages from the bible while he fights EVIL. Each sin is a villain in the show. He has a sidekick as well; I forget the loser’s name.
The best part is when one of the deadly sins (bad guys) breaks out with a music video! He starts to dance and rap about his Sin. (I forgot which sin it was, aren’t they all alike.)
Please try to watch one horrific episode of this trash if you can. Below is the IMDB link.

Star Wars Ep 3 track by track review (part one)
Part one of the long Review of Star Wars Ep 3 CD.
I figured it would be fun to review each track in the review style as I hear it. Enjoy.
Track 1 Main Titles/Revenge of the Sith
This one opens with the normal Star Wars Fanfare. After all these years, it still sounds great. I love this theme so much. However, on the CD, it doesn’t have the normal fade to the actual score. Usually, the main theme fades to the beginning music for the film. This score changes it with a quick jump into action music and we hear the Force theme in a military style. The snare drums in the first few minutes brings that military theme to mind
Quickly, the score changes to huge base drums thumping through the music. This is when the actual music from the CD is used in the opening scene. You hear this music when the rockets are fired at our two Jedi heroes.
You see this is part of the problem of the CD; some of the score heard here isn’t used in the film in the correct spot listed. The opening portion of the music after the main theme is different than what is used in the film. The film opens up with the usual fade out of the main fan fare, and smoothly going into the score just like the rest of the movies. The music used at the beginning has a very loud drum cue as we see the Jedi Fighters pass over and under capital ships into a grand space battle. This is a much smoother cue than what is on CD.

Land of the Dead
Review by James
First off, I am not a huge fan of zombie movies. I just never really cared for them that much. Heck, I’m more of a Silent Hill fan than a Resident Evil fan. However, I can watch them and enjoy them on a basic level. The movie is a direct sequel to the other Romero movies. It’s set in a time when Zombies pretty much have free reign of the planet, except for zones where humans live. People from the zones from time to time have to raid local towns for supplies and food. In this movie, the Zombies have learned to evolve, and think more freely on a basic level. Some even learn how to use weapons.
There is humor in the movie, of the gore kind. The movie is full of sight gags, so try to catch them all. The movie is full of no name stars except for Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo. Both are fairly good, but Dennis Hooper really steals the show. The action is good, and so is the gore-level. This is no wimpy PG-13 movie folks, it’s straight up R, with a bit of nudity thrown in.
It should be known that the movie has many flaws and logic issues. For one, there is the “ Big message”. Zombie aren’t really that bad “they’re just looking for a place.” What? The movie has no ending what so ever. It was as if the writers ran out of time and simply said, “Okay, let’s call this an ending.” Not a great movie, but entertaining, but do you want anything else from a Zombie movie?

Hero worship is fine. Heroes are fine. Police and Firefighters are heroes, servicemen are heroes. However, politicians are not. Despite their past record, when they become Politicians, they’re not heroes. We shouldn’t look up to them, let alone make Action figures. Unlike the Rep and Dems, these Police, Firefighters, and Servicemen, don’t take huge hand outs from big business and unions. These people do their JOB despite politics, and put their lives on the line for us. Please make Action Figures for real Heroes, not money-grubbing politicians like Bush and Clinton.
__________
Despite this rant, here are the Action figures I want to in Toy Stores.
Pretzel Choking President Bush Action figure
This one will be a hot seller during Christmas. The doll will come with its very own “action” pretzel that will fit into his mouth so he can choke.
Clinton Sitting at Oval Office Desk
This one is a complete replica of the oval office of the White House. Everything is exactly how it was back in the 90s during Clinton’s term. Even comes with a Monica Lewinsky “action” doll that sits right underneath the President’s desk. Cigars are sold separate.
Newt Gingrich (family values) Divorcing Doll
This former speaker of the House doll comes with an older wife, which then can be divorced after the wife doll grows older. If you show three proofs of purchase to the company, they will then send you a much younger Wife doll for Newt (Family Values).
The Bush Daughters Collection
These dolls come with beer cans and two toy kegs. The set is complete with secret service dolls to bail friends out of jail.

Beyonce says its not really a break up (huh?)
http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/23/people.beyonce.ap/index.html
Comment: Why does EVERYTHING need to be spun now? A break up is simply a break up. Some reason Beyonce doesn’t want to call it that. Trust me, this break up is because of Beyonce and nothing more. She has outgrown her fellow singers, and she wants to boost her solo acting/singing career. But, after the poor treatment the Pink Panther remake is getting from the studio, she might want to rethink that.
Tom Cruise drops the squirting mic charge.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movies/06/23/cruise.prank.reut/index.html
Comment: Surprising, I side with Tom on this matter. I would be pissed if some jerks did that to me. I would have lost my cool and went after them, but Tom kept his cool. These guys did it for a “reality show” stunt. Can we end these “reality shows” now, please?
Has HBO lost its edge?
http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/06/23/apontv.reinventing.hbo.ap/index.html
Comment: Nope, not at all. While the crappy big four networks fill their time slots with “reality shows”, HBO has been bringing some of the best dramas and comedies on TV. And, HBO let’s the showrunners run their own shows with little interference. However, other cable networks are coming up (FX, USA), taking a cue from HBO and are trying to push the envelope. If I ever wanted to create a show, I would take it to HBO first.

Chrono Trigger/Cross (the story) Part 3
Story Behind Chrono Trigger Part 3
Lavos is an alien parasite from space disguised as an asteroid. Chrono and gang at some point make it to the distant past, 65,000,000 B.C.
In this past, reptiles rule the planet. They have large kingdoms and some technology. They stand up-right and can talk. While on the other hand, humans are basically cavemen living in tribes in the forest. Chrono befriends a cavewoman by the name of Ayla, who is the chief of one of the tribes of cavepeople. After a little adventure, the reptiles and Chrono clash. After defeating the reptile leader, the leader says changes are on the way. The rule of the reptiles is about to end, and nature on the planet will soon be off balance.
After the reptile leader dies, the sky grows dark and then a fire ball in the sky comes hurling toward the surface of the planet. The ground shakes violently from the thunderous impact. Ashes and dirt fly into the atmosphere, shielding the sunlight from the planet. The planet grows cold, and most of the intelligent reptiles begin to die off. The humans are able to cope with the weather change. Thus, Lavos’s arrival starts the Ice Age.

Fortune Cookie Jam
I went to a Chinese restaurant a few days ago. After eating tons of food, I received a fortune cookie. I snapped open the cookie, as if there was gold at the center. In fact, the strange magical pieces of papers in the center should be worth a gold chip. With these nuggets of wisdom, you can learn Chinese and get an insight into life.
Here is what my fortune said; Fearless courage is the foundation of Victory.
Now I know a new Chinese word, Student=Xue-sheng!
When I really think about it, I want to become Fortune Cookie writer. Here are some I want to write up.
1 If you’re reading this fortune, you suck.
2 Hey you, yeah you. See that hot woman over there at the table, well she likes you. Nah, I’m just joking.
3 Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
4 Don’t read this fortune, it’s cursed.
5 Your girlfriend is cheating on you right now.
6 That shirt you’re wearing is ugly, don’t ever wear it again.
7 You are about to get some bad news.
8 Buy stock in Fortune Cookies. Trust me on this.

Short TNG review.
I re-watched the episode “Justice”, the one where the Enterprise crew beams down to a planet filled with sexed-up half nude aliens. Oh, did I mention that the sexy aliens all run whereever they go? I believe this planet is every fanboys’s dream, (certainly mine). And there is a subplot about Wesley tripping over some flowers and given the death penalty. Picard is talking to a wind chime-like god. There were at least three episodes crammed into one. This one is right up there with “spock’s brain.” This ep won’t get a F because the women in the ep are hot. Man, these early episodes of Star Trek: the next generation are not very good.

I was bored and looked up blog on Urban-dictionary.com. These all sound like my piece of crap blog. Boy, do I have an ego…
Blog
Blog
Short for weblog.
A meandering, blatantly uninteresting online diary that gives the author the illusion that people are interested in their stupid, pathetic life. Consists of such riveting entries as "homework sucks" and "I slept until noon today."
a place where people bitch about their daily activities which nobody is interested in. topics like why they argue with boyfriend and how they end up together at last, daily aneroxic activities like drinking blended organic fruits and vegetable for breakfast, lunch and dinner, talking about cutting themselves with a razor blade and how good they felt, bitch about their shopping activities and what they got.
just another way to seek attention and sympathy from other people.
A web log that no longer has useless personal moments of one's life that nobody cares about, but instead has stuff in latin, chinese, spanish and italian, and when in english, is usually about hair care products, condoms, newspaper headlines, or cut+copy+paste jobs from wikipedia or nationalgeographic.com.
Basically a load of shit you never want to read.
head over to blogspot.com and keep clicking on next
n. (short for weblog) 1. summary of webmaster activities in the form of a journal, hosted on a website
2. short writings on the internet of poor quality
"Nobody gives a sweet Christ about your website, let alone your blog"
Short for weblog. Blogs originally had purpose when the few people who had them actually had interesting and/or informative things to say. These blogs still exist, and are quite enjoyable to read, however the advent of blogger.com and livejournal.com has changed this once meaningful application into utter shit, allowing every day idiots to write about how shitty their lives are and why everyone should care.
Good Blog: Informative news, real humor and entertainment. Often build and published by someone with a brain.
Bad Blog: "School sucks", what you had for lunch, why your depressed because your 14 year old boyfriend dumped you and its the end of the world.

Gas Station+James=Heck
Why I hate people, reason number 247 (Gas Station Blues)
I swear that every time I leave the house, I regret it. Gas stations are the worst places in the known galaxy. First, I park my car at a gas pump and realize it is out of order. So after finding a pump that works, I entered the station to pay for a pre-set gas amount. However, I noticed a long line of unhappy people on both ends of the counter. My first thought is to turn around and go to another gas station, but I was already here so I stepped all the way inside.
One line was usually longer than the other line, plus I knew the clerk that was working in that line. He’s known as one of the slowest clerks on Earth. He used to work for Wal-Mart, and I remembered standing in his slow-a** lines back in the day. Plus, he does that annoying thing where he licks the end of his thumb with his nasty tongue. Then, he takes that nasty thumb and touches MY change with it, yuck! You don’t see me licking his casher-machine do you?
Well, I head for the second, shorter line. However, there is craggy man that is kind of standing there kind of off to the side, so I don’t have a clue if he’s in line or not. He’s wearing a white t-shirt that is more yellow than white, and he has poorly grown beard. He has brown-dusty dirt on his arms, so I surmise he worked in construction. He had a long can of some type of beer in his hand and a cup in the other. I let him kind of get in line in front of me, that was me being nice.
Fairly quickly, the line moves up to the dusty guy in front of me. I look across the counter and see that the other line with the slow-a**, thumb-licker hasn’t moved an inch. I smile slightly, knowing that I made the correct choice.
The dusty guy in front of me places his “junk” on the counter. The old clerk scans his junk, and says, “Is that all?”
The guy mumbles, “Let me have a pack of something cigarettes.” His voice is so low and so garbled I had a hard time understanding the dusty guy myself.
The old clerk has to lean in to understand him. After nodding to his garbled request, he looks around the millions of cigarette boxes and packs.
Let me step out of the story for a second and say how bad Gas Stations are. Not only are they one of the leading causes of gas use and environmental damage, but also they sell more tobacco products than any other place. It’s like your one stop, death store.
The old clerk can’t seem to find his special brand of cigarettes. It takes the old clerk a LONG time to realize that he has to open a box from a supply place from behind a shelf. I start rolling my eyes, because I’ve been in the damn station too long.
After a few minutes, dusty guy leans over to me. “My bad, Dude.”
Through tightened teeth I say, “It’s okay.”
With his cigarettes now on counter, the man then mumbles, “Could you get me some numbers?”
Lottery Numbers, one of the things I hate the most. They slow the line down even longer. I generally have a problem with people that play the Lottery. It seems people want to get rich quick, instead of working for it. They hope they’re the one person that gets lucky, and never have to work at their crappy job again. I am not against gambling, just lottery numbers. Don’t slow down the line for foolish dreams.
It takes the old clerk forever to understand the garbled numbers, and he finally gets it right. Now, I’ve been in this damn store for TSG long. The dusty man finally leaves, with me cursing his name.

Many faces of Robin part 3
Robin IV
Stephanie Brown was her name. She was a teenager with an already established superhero past, known as The Spoiler. For a time, she was Tim (robin 3) Drake’s girl friend. She would go out at night with Robin and help him on cases. I believe she gave up a baby she had for adoption.
After Robin III left the position, she filled in. Batman was impressed with her skills. But, she disobeyed a direct order and was fired by Batman. Trying to impress Batman, she tried to take on one of the meanest bad guys around, Black Mask. She was severely beaten and left for dead. Just like Jason Todd, Batman found her broken body and rushed her to the hospital. Later, she died from her internal injuries with Batman looking over her bed.
With his own father killed, Robin III came back and joined Batman again.
Robin V (Not really, this is set in a alt-world, so she really isn’t a part of the current storyline.)
Carrie Kelly was a nerdy 13-year girl who lived in an alt-world future Gotham city. She was bright-eyed young girl that believed in doing the right thing. All her life she grew up as a huge Batman fan.
With Batman retired, the bad guys pretty much won the war, and Gotham is in shambles. The US pretty much has become an Empire and Superman is an agent for this “NWO” empire. Even though an old man now, Batman comes back and takes control. This has a ripple effect and people start standing up for what they believe in. Of course, the Government can’t have this and sends Superman in to fight Batman.
She doesn’t die, and actually is taken in by Batman. She looses her innocence when she sees the bodies of an entire group of dead boy scouts. The Joke killed the boy scouts with Poised cotton candy. She later becomes Catgirl, and still is by Batman’s side.
Note: none of this version of Carrie Kelly is in the real DC universe. That doesn’t mean she won’t show up.Skullmonkeys
This is Klayman from the strange videogame Skullmonkeys. A very strange videogame from the makers of Earthworm JIM. It has some of the coolest and funniest music for a videogame ever.
Klayman has showed up in three games over the years. Boombots, NeverHood and Skullmonkeys.
Strange facts
~Klayman has the ability to “Fart” a green clone of himself. This clone of Fart gas can move around and think just like him. However, the “normal” klayman can’t move during this time.
~One of the lvls is named “Worm Graveyard”. That’s because you are in a worm graveyard and you’ll see ghosts of worms flyby, lots of them.

Here's a little bonus room, because I know you've had it tough
Here's a little bonus tune, about collecting real cool stuff.
Yes, here's a little bonus room, where you can play.
Don't be frightened, don't run away.
You can linger, 'cus I'm your video friend.
Think of me as a father figure, with a hand to lend.
Here's a little bonus room, where you don't have to worry.
Take your sweet time, you need not hurry.
Oh, you're looking incredible, you're the bomb!
And me, I'm kind of like your dad, and a little like your mom.
There are no Monsters here, hey wait, look over there.
I was just kidding. don't be scared.
And when you turn this game off, in the real world once again,
You won't have to play make-believe, or try to pretend.
'cus I'll be right there when you open your hand,
'cus I'm your little invisible musical friend.
So, show me to your pets, or show me to your pals.
You really will impress every nifty guy and gal.
Show them you are individual, show them you are BOLD!
Besides, I get residuals for every game that's sold.
I'm your little invisible musical friend for life.
I'll never leave you.
If you have time, try to find this little game, very cool PS1 game.
Wooden Nickel
Way back during my early blog days, I mentioned wooden nickels.
Well, it looks like people will actually pay for wooden nickels.
http://www.wooden-nickel.com/50 cents, wormholes and TSGs
Mad am I.
Okay, I’m kind of mad. I went to the Kroger Store up the street, and I left the store feeling thirsty. I looked to my left and noticed the Coke and Pepsi machines shinning like a lighthouse to a wayward ship in a stormy sea. Reaching into my pocket, I noticed I had enough change and pocket lint to get a soda. I went up to the machine and slid two quarters into the tiny slot, and nothing happened. I pressed every button on the machine, and still nothing.
It was as if a small wormhole formed within the coin slot and sucked up my 50 cents, sending my coins to the far reaches of another galaxy. The coins then fell to an alien planet. This was where they were worshiped as the Twin Silver Gods, TSG for short.
Anyway, I should have tipped the machine to get a free coke. Then again, it might be tip proof. Now, I’m 50 cents poorer.Wednesday, June 22, 2005
X-Men 3 in trouble, might be
Ain’t it cool news has a review of a early script of X-Men 3. This movie might be heading into development hell.
http://aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=20443
Comment: There have been bad things going on behind the scenes, that don’t sound too good. With Bryan Singer gone to direct Superman Returns, no one seems to have a vision for the new X-Men movie. They really should scrap the whole thing and let Singer direct X3, with HIS writing team.
The only problem is Singer and FOX departed on not so good terms. It was all political on FOX’s part. FOX settle the beef and let Singer finish his vision, please.
Please read the whole thing it is a very good read.Batman Begins Again!
Some News from a message board, Batman Begins 2 looks like a go. Link below…
http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050622e.php
Comment: Looks like Katie Holms is out of the second movie, Freeman, Caine, Bale are coming back. The links says there are two reasons for Katie’s departure. One, the fact she is on every news channel talking about her marriage proposal. Tom and her are taking away press from the movie with their public display of love. WB knows that people are getting tired of seeing them on newspapers, news channels and magazines. Lord knows I am. Two, her bad performance was one of the few things most reviewers agreed on.
This is all good news to me.Tuesday, June 21, 2005
Shatner EGO
((I remember how I felt when William Shatner dismissed me on the set of Star Trek V. humiliation and disenchantment is easy for me to recall, and I do everything I can to ensure that I don't inflict it on another person.))
Wil Wheaton said these words about what happened one-day. Wil Wheaton played the crappy Character Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: the next generation.
This is a famous story among trekkers. Shatner has been known to have a huge EGO. One thing I always found funny was that William Shatner always felt threatened by the Next Generation Crew. He didn’t like the fact that a new group of actors were moving in and taking HIS screen time. Whenever he spoke to the press, he would go out of his way to bad mouth TNG people. I always found this type of behavior from a grown man funny. I nearly laughed when TNG lasted 7 seasons, even though William Shatner felt the show would never last. Yet, Shatner claimed he NEVER watched the show.
One day during the shooting of the movie Star Trek V, which Shatner directed, Wil Wheaton decided to take a trip to the set of movie, which was right next door to the TNG Set. Wheaton was a huge trekkie and saw Shatner as his childhood hero. Like me, Wheaton grew up watching the old show on reruns. Shatner played a selfless hero named Captain Kirk, THE Captain Kirk. Well, Wheaton introduced himself to Shatner. When Shatner found out he was from the TNG show, he treated the young boy like Sh*t. Rumor has it, Shatner said loudly, “I would never let a boy fly MY Enterprise.” He made sure Wheaton overheard it. Rumor goes that Wheaton was seen running from the set, upset.
What kind of grown man would do such a thing, Shatner EGO!
I was a little upset with the fact that Rick Berman asked Shatner to reprise his role as Captain Kirk for Star Trek: Generations. The man has been had been putting down TNG for years, and then he ASKED Shatner to join the movie.
Another thing, Shatner hated TNG, but had no problem using many of the sets from that show for his poorly received Star Trek V. What a Klingon azz.
