Revisiting The Channel Awesome Document

I found this dude on a KF page.  

This commentary is very good.  I used to like and respect the Channel Awesome crew.  When I was younger, I wanted to be like these guys.  As I have gotten older, I have seen them as entitled and out of touch with reality.  These kids who got out of high school made it big in the salad days of the Internet.   While flawed, CA did bring some attention to these reviewers.  They would come around and attack the very site that helped them become Internet famous.  

A great many of these guys never had a real, butt-kicking job, so the old CA document seems petty and foolish.  These CA content creators needed to get their hands dirty with real jobs to be thankful for the great jobs they had during the golden years of the Internet.  

As I have gotten to more about many of these former CA, I find them to be annoying.  I think it has more to do with social media.  Even when their fame is waning, they look down upon getting a real job. We all have to do it.

Remember Spoony.

Side Note: My favorite entitled former CA member is Film Brain.  I liked his negative reviews, but he’s changed into a more positive reviewer and moved away from what made him amusing, funny, and popular.  His old videos were getting between 90-150K, and now they are between 2-9K views.  It reminds me of my shitty ass blog.  This blog was getting crazy numbers in the 2000s.  Good thing I didn’t make this my living.  Right, Film Brain?  

Die hard 3| Water Jug Puzzle

At work, I mentioned the water jug puzzle from Die Hard: With a Vengeance.  It was one of those puzzles that I could not figure out even after the scene.  We discussed it and came up with the solution after the time limit.  This scene is one of the reasons I love Die Hard 3 so much.  

The movie wasn’t supposed to be a Die Hard movie.  Jonathan Hensleigh wrote the script Simon Says as a standalone movie.  Wanting to go in a different direction, they commissioned the script for the Die Hard franchise, with some major changes to the second and third acts.  When you go back and watch DH3, please take notice of the tone shift after the explosion in the subway.  The movie goes from a mystery thriller to a full-blown Die Hard movie.  It even reveals its connections to the first movie. 

Tina Peters 2 of 2

Why throw away your entire life over a lie  

County Clerk in a county in Colorado.  There was an audit done in her county and no issues were reported.  She started to believe there were problems with the voting machines and took it upon herself to look into matters.  In stealth mode, she brought in a spy to copy hard drives and other information.  Get this, when it happened, she ordered the cameras to be turned off during the heist.  

She let a former pro-surfer/CEO into the building to record and copy sensitive documents.  Yes, she brought in a former surfer for a heist.  The data ended up on the Internet with passwords and names.  In this orgy of stupidity, the fellow clown, My Pillow CEO, is mixed into this mess.  

During her sentencing, she went completely off the rails. You have to see that video because she talks more about the fake votes than about herself. Despite the facts, she still believes she is a hero.  

While she is sentenced to nine years, I don’t think she will be there that long.  Plus, she will attempt to do right-wing interviews and podcasts in prison.  Trust me, grifters are sweeping for her.  The best part is that she is going to a state prison and not a federal prison.  That means she can get a pardon from Trump if he gets re-elected.  

Did Juliette Lewis leave Xenu?

I am finishing up Peters' story, but I wanted to add a post about a Scitenotist or a former one.  Juliette Lewis, an actress who has been in hundreds of things, has left Scientology.  She fled that stupid religion back in 2021 and I didn't know it.  Given it was Covid season, it was overlooked.  Lewis was a hardcore Scientologist right along with Danny Masterson and Jason Lee.  She probably spent millions to reach a high level of OT on their bridge, and she walked away from it.  

Can she leave?

However, some people claim that she has not left Scienigyu.  So, is all this a lie?  

Tina Peters part 1 of 2

"Get out of my pants" Tina, no one wants to get into your pants.

Tina Peters is a misguided and entitled person.  The video above is of her being arrested. She goes full Karen in her arrest. The more I look into this crazy woman, the more silly shit I find about her and the big lie.  The story is insane and payback is a bitch. Her story is so unreal that I have to break it up.  She is the model of people believing in bullshit. As much as I have problems with the left, the right has just as many stupid people.

Even her freaking age is funny.  She just turned 69 (hee-hee).  

Taken from her Wiki, I learned she received a non-credited degree in holistic nutrition.  Red flag one.  Her degree comes from a correspondence school—red flag two.  Her fake-ass degree came from the fake-ass school of Clayton College of Natural Health.  It was so “natural” that it went out of business in 2010 with many lawsuits.  The school was a joke, so she fit right in there.  She took the right-wing version of gender studies that is plaguing the left.  

Oh, did I mention that she was also involved in multi-level marketing too?  Yep, a flimflam woman. 

Darrell Brooks 2.0

What a clown.  This guy went completely nuts and drove through a barricade to a parade.  He was trying to pull a Darrell Brooks.  Luckily, he didn’t hurt or kill anyone.  The best part is that he recorded the entire incident on his dashcam.  

This guy, who looks like a skinnier Alex Jones, is named Sidney Mecham.  Yes, it is a stupid name.  He is also a sexual predator.  This makes it strange because Darrell Brooks is also a predator, a child predator.  

I love that he calmly takes hits off his vape while evading the police.  This POS got five years in prison.

Star Trek: The Next Generation 1x1-2 Encounter at Farpoint

Watching these young people watch old-school Trek brings back memories.  I love that new people are entering one of my favorite universes.  While I can’t get through Discovery, I like some of the new Trek stuff, but the Berman and Gene Star Trek has a warm place in my heart.  I left a long-winded comment on a first-time watcher of TNG about all the issues BTS on the first two seasons of TNG.  

TNG was my way gateway away from the terrible childhood I had.  Because I had so many issues growing up, TNG was a shining moment that kept me going, and I love that younger people are starting to get into the deeper meanings of Trek.  

Gene screwed that show over with his ego, drug abuse, and decaying health.  It is lucky that TNG even got a second season.  As much as he tried to protect TOS, Gene became TNG’s worst enemy.  

I just love watching these people watch Trek for the first time. 

FULL Sarah Boone on Nickelodeon Game Show- Florida Suitcase Killer

I haven’t talked about the suitcase killer, but she is close to my age.  

Here is a young Sarah Boone, the suitcase killer, in a Nickelodeon game show back in the 90s.  This bright-eyed, fresh-faced, high-wearing blue jeans girl would become a bitter and entitled killer. In the video, you can tell she just wants to shove the game show host into a purse or a travel bag.  Maybe, it is her thing.  

Anyway, this game show was called Nick Arcade.  It was a video game-based game show.  You’d answer questions and play VGs.  Not a bad gig.  I remember this campy little game show, it is a tone-down Double Dare with stranger kids.   

I have so many questions.  Who was the chunky kid on her team?  Did she attempt to shove him into a suitcase?  Could he even fit?  I want to know. By the way, her partner seems to be on the spectrum. In the 90s, she liked to “check out guys and spend money”.  Now, she likes killing guys and firing lawyers.  

If her 90s counterpart saw her today, she would be highly disappointed.  She would mutate into this horrible person with no self-awareness. 

Rogue One Vader Scene Voice Fixed. #starwars #darthvader #disney

One of the few problems I had with Rogue One was James Earl Jones's voice was a bit too old and weak for the movie.  Keep in mind that Rogue One happens right before Episode IV.  The cool thing about the movie is they reconstructed the bulkier Vader suit and mask from Episode IV and not the sleeker black one from V and VI.  They even restored the brown lens that he wears in IV, which isn’t there for the other two.  However, it seems Disney didn’t modify his voice as much as the original movies.  

The people making RO went through everything to make sure it fit with Episode IV aesthetics.  This was a bit of an oversight.  Then again, a bunch of Vader scenes were added at the last moment.  

This YouTuber changed that and made his voice more in tune with the voice we know from IV.  It is heavier and more robotic.  It works with the IV suit and mask.  Well, done.  

I don’t know why Disney didn’t bother doing this, kind of like Orson Wells in Transformers the Movie.  

BTW, this scene uses both Imperial Marches from IV and V.  

RIP James Earl Jones. 

Ali Abulaban Game over, Yeah🎵🎶

Like most TikTok stars, JinnKid is an entitled asshole.  He was known for doing pretty good impressions of famous characters and video game skits.  After moving to California, Ali started using drugs and attacking his wife.  She had enough and separated from him.  He started spying on her and caught her with another man.  Ali could bang any slut he wanted, but he got angry when a man would look at his estranged wife funny.  

He ended up killing her and her guy friend.  He planted his dead wife’s head in the guy friend’s lap. After acting like a clown on the stand, He was found guilty.  His reaction to the cheering at his verdict is something to behold.  And, his behavior during sentencing is even funnier, not realizing he looks like a big spoiled baby.  When the crowd cheers for the life sentence, he claps mockingly.  Bitch, you’re clapping at your life sentence.  

Then, he pissed me off with his YouTube channel.  Someone, not him, uploaded a video five days ago.  It comprises a bunch of edits claiming, “You don’t know the whole story”.  Even in jail, this guy is uploading videos trying to get views.  

I hate this guy. 

Wubaduba-dub is that true? Nope

Yes, the meme is legendary.  It is interesting because there are rhythm-based games that are more complex today, like the FNF series.

STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK:Was "Woman In Cafeteria" Janice Rand?

A person and I disagreed over a certain cameo in Star Trek III. Was Janice Rand in Star Trek III?   When I was a child, my mother and father pointed out that the woman within the Spacedock scene watching the Enterprise enter was Janice Rand.  In the credits, she is listed as “Woman in Cafeteria”.  The late Grace Lee Whitney is playing the woman in a Star Fleet uniform.  Director Nimoy added her to the scene because he wanted to include her, and she showed up in his IV.  I think Nimoy felt bad for the way Hollywood treated her.  

Anyway, since that moment, I always felt it was Rand.  But, I had no idea some fans didn’t believe it was her.  Whitney is just playing another character.  For me, I believe it is Rand.  If you look closely, “Woman in Cafeteria” gives a disapproving look and shakes her.  The head shakes and her expression says, “There they go again” as she looks at the damage.  Rand was in battle aboard the Enterprise, so she knows its reputation.  

Now, her rank is all over the place in the movies.  She was a commissioned officer in the show and TMP, but her appearance in III shows she is an officer.  However, she wears a noncom uniform in IV.  Yet, she is a high-ranking officer in VI.  

Side Note:  I’ve been looking at old photos of Whitney and her post-TOS days.  After cleaning herself up and getting more close to fans, she seemed happier.  She hated her experience during the filming of TOS but loved the Trek universe.  She even came back to Voyager with a larger role.  Google her convention photos. She loved how kind the fans were.

RIP, Grace, you were the best.

The not so Mighty Zoe Quinn

Just think: GG would have died on the vine if she hadn't made a false copyright claim.  

I went through Zoe Quinn’s KF with GG being ten years old.  Since her grift on GG, she keeps stumbling upward and downward.  She had an anti-harassment site, which she lost interest in and abandoned.  She decided to become a professional wrestler, realizing the hard work, lost interest in it and abandoned it.  

Furthermore, she got 85K to do a stupid FWV videogame based on some Chuck Tingle books.  Get this, she lost interest and abandoned it.  She hasn’t even bothered to log into her Kickstarter account since Feb 27, 2021.  So, yeah, 85K for a project that went nowhere.  You have to love the irony that her backers were some of her defenders during GG and have been thrown aside.  I won’t get into Alec Holowka’s suicide, but she was involved in that too.  

Given her post-GG history, Zoe has done more damage than even GG could imagine.  It is like she is one blue-haired tornado campaign of hate.  She was a carpetbagger who duped some people out of money, and no one from her side would take her to task for it.  

She's burned more bridges than a retreating army.

Happy anniversary, Zoe.
