Joey, uh I mean, Matt LeBlanc is sick of people calling him Joey.

Image
Matt LeBlanc hates being compared to his character Joey. From IMDB.com, ((The 38-year-old is fed up with fans who think he is like Joey and can't stand fans using "Joey" catchphrases on him)) Okay Joey, uh Matt, get over yourself. If I met you, I wouldn’t say any Joey remarks, because I’ve never watched Friends or Joey . I would ask you about kissing Lucy Liu , and how you felt about co-starring with two monkeys in two films ( Lost in Space , and Ed ). And if we look at his career, we can see that he’s pretty much played a Joey type character all his life. Come on Joey, er Matt, who you fooling you are Joey. Now, shut up Joey and dance for the crowd.
Image
Joey: “Hey you! Do you want to be known as a hack? Follow two steps I follow. Step one; always play the same damn character in every movie and TV show you star in, because you’ll make millions. Step two; act like you’re tired of people calling by your character’s name. Hey, if it worked for Shatner, it can work for me. I’ll be doing Priceline ads in no time.”

God of War Movie?

Image
God of War coming to a Theater? http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=20854 Comment: It looks that way. This videogame is really cool. One of the best action games out there. I just hope they keep the R-rated style of game play in the Movie.

Movies for all

This guy is cool Hard to tell, but Ann Coulter is the one on the left. Ann Coulter Not knowing her Canadian History http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2663937 Comment: Ann Coulter tries to make something up about Canadian troops in Vietnam. Of Course, she was wrong, but stands by her statement, because admitting you’re wrong is “ treason ”. Super Mario Piano http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2671873 Comment: Really cool guy playing all the tunes of Super Mario brothers. This guy is beyond cool. He plays the first song blindfolded. This is a treat for all Super Mario Brothers Fans, a must see and hear.

Funny Family Guy clip

Family Guy clip where Chris ends up in a 80s music video. http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2676204 Comment: Freaking funny as heck. I loved what he says after he re-enters the normal Family Guy world. This one is funny.

Tucker keeps messing up

Image
Tucker Carlson being an idiot http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2676617 Comment: Will someone please tell Tucker that the bowtie is so over? Time to drop it. This guy sucks. How can he get another show after John Stewart pretty much P’wned him on his own show?

The Girls of X-play, GamespotTV, Extended Play

Image
I’m tore between two videogame female TV hosts. I just got done watching an episode of X-Play, and I came to one conclusion. I actually kind of like Morgan Webb, I think she is kind of active in a Fangirl kind of way. Sure, she has extremely broad, manly shoulders, and her face is somewhat funky, but she has extremely large cans. You can’t take that away from her. There are times she looks hot, and I dig tall women. On the other hand, there is the geeky fangirl Kate Botello. She was the first Fangirl on TV that talked about Videogames. Her best skill was to contort her face in ways mere normal humans could not fathom. She left Gamespot TV and Morgan Webb took over. (Note: Adam Sessler was solo for a time, when the producers realized they needed a female on screen to keep the Fanboys from turning the channel to Cinemax or Showtime.) The other Co-host was a little known woman by the name of Lauren Fielder . I found her to be the prettiest and the smartest o...
Image
See, I told you she had mad skillz contorting her face in strange shapes.
Image
Adam Sessler with the nerdy Kate Botello . I actually like her too, because I find her face contortions kind of hot. (Note: Watch as Adam’s spiked hair slowly starts to disappear, because of male pattern baldness.)
Image
Stay focused on her face…don’t look down. Damn, too late.

Elektra Unrated DVD

Image
Elektra Unrated cut, coming soon. http://dvd.ign.com/articles/637/637836p1.html Comment: Well, it looks like the Box Office Bomb Elektra is getting the Daredevil treatment. I wonder if they’re going show the Ben Affleck scenes that were cut from the film. I actually liked this movie, unlike the rest of the world. X-files and Terk director Rob Bowman helmed this film.

Chrono Trigger/Cross (the story) Part 7

Image
Chrono and the gang end up locked away in a holding cell, waiting to find out what their fate will hold for them. The Prophet enters the cell and tells them that they’ve banished by Queen from entering the Zeal Kingdom. After being force through the time portal, the gang regroups and knows that if Lavos is awakened, it shall destroy the planet as it happens in 1999. They decide this is their opportunity to defeat Lavos and stop the apocalypse from happening, and they go back to 12,000 BC. They sneak back into the Zeal Kingdom with the help of Princess Schala. Schala tells them that she believes her mother is being controlled by Lavos. When Chrono and the gang get within the kingdom’s mainland to stop the Queen Zeal from harnessing the power of Lavos, they notice most of the soldiers and scientists have disappeared. The Three Gurus have also disappeared; these are the three wisest men among the kingdom. Deep under the sea, Queen Zeal begins her test runs on the M...

Superman The Movie (thoughts) Part one

Image
I really should review Superman the Movie, but I'm too lazy. So instead, I will give you some of my thoughts about the movie. This movie is THE best superhero movie ever created and I would like anyone to disprove that statement. Before there was Batman, Spiderman, there was this movie. A movie that took the source material seriously enough that comic book fans today still think it’s the best film.
Image
The movie opens up with a child reading the comic book of Superman, telling the moviegoers this is a comic movie. I like this beginning even though it has nothing to do with the story. It does feel a little disconnected.
Image
The Salkind family paid and produced this film. At first, WB had very little to do with the movie. Later the Salkind brothers would have a falling out with Director Richard Donner, and would fire him before he completed Superman 2.
Image
Marlon Brando plays Superman’s father, Jor-El. Brando gets top billing because they paid a LOT of money for him to show up in the movie. Brando was suppose to be in Superman 2, and even filmed scenes, which were later cut due to lawsuits by Brando. Please note Brando was not the star of this movie.
Image
Gene Hackman Plays Lex Luthor. Unlike some people, I like the way he plays the character, I’ll have more on this guy later.
Image
Really cool streaking effect that makes the extremely long movie credits really enjoyable to sit through. John Williams’s main theme bellows out of the speakers as the FX sounds come crashing in with every name. I wish more movies would do intros this way, Spiderman kind of does this.

Curse of Monkey Song

Image
Curse of Monkey Song The Monkey Island series is one of the funniest computer series out there. In the game you have to pick the right lyrics to make the characters stop singing. Here are the lyrics This comes from this site h ttp://www.cheatsgame.de/wfiles/curseofmly.htm Haggis: We're a band of vicious pirates! Edward: A sailin´ out to sea. Bill: When you hear our gentle singing... Haggis: You'll be sure to turn and flee! Guybrush: Oh, this is just ridiculous. Guybrush: Come on, men! We've got to recover that map! Bill: That pirate will be done for, when he falls into our trap! Bill: We're a club of tuneful rovers! Haggis: We can sing in every clef! Edward: We can even hit the high notes! Haggis: It's just too bad we're tone deaf! All: A pirate I was meant to be! All: Trim the sails and roam the sea! Guybrush: Let's go defeat that evil pirate! Edward: We know he's sure to lose, ´cause we know just where to fire ...

Wedding Crashers Review

Image
Wedding Crashers The basic plotline to this movie is that two guys go around, sneak into weddings, and pick up chicks. They do it every year around wedding season, however this year is different. Owen Wilson ’s character starts to grow tired of banging countless chicks (I wouldn’t). He reminds Vince Vaughn ’s character that they’re not getting any younger. Of course, Vaughn doesn’t think so. Things start to change for the two of them when they crash the ultimate wedding, Secretary Cleary’s daughter’s wedding (one of his daughters, he has three.) The wedding crashers encounter something they’ve never experienced before, love . This movie is R-rated, and proudly states that it’s R, which I like. There is nudity in this movie. There are many flashes of bare breasts in a montage where we see the two Crashers bedding many women. Well, besides the breasts, we also see the two of them actually have fun crashing the weddings; they really enjoy being there. This pa...

Owen: “When you see a movie critic, shoot to kill.” Vaughn: “What about Harry Knowles?” Owen: “He’s a Critic?”
Image
Old people with guns, some reason this is suppose to be funny. I find this dangerous.
Image
So Owen Wilson wouldn’t mistaken himself for his brother Luke Wilson, he has his name written on the woman’s head, so he wouldn’t forget.
Image
It doesn’t matter what kind of wedding, they still show up.
Image
Vaughn: “Want to swap? I like short chicks.” Owen: “Good, because my back is killing me.”
Image
Total MILF, trust me. She is the wife of Secretary Cleary, but wants to give Owen a try.
Image
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think this scene is in the movie, not sure.

The warmth of Fantasy

Image
As I play many RPGs during my time, I’ve thought about writing a more Fantasy based story. There is something warm and spiritual about fantasy. There is something special about throwing out science and simply focusing on the characters. Yet, there isn’t much science in my current novel.

Scion Junk

Image
Scion Junk About a year ago, I was in a Toyota dealership and noticed a huge display of promotions. They were promoting a new brand of cars and vans called the Scion. I watched the Widescreen digital TV screen for all the flashy ads. There seem to be a hip-hop angle to all the commercials and posters. They were aiming for the “hip” generation to buy these cars, promoting the fact that you can custom make the cars in anyway you want. Now, I think the Scion vans are ugly. They’re just huge squares with wheels. Freaking ugly-ass vans. Now, maybe I’m not hip, but I don’t think the ladies would like to see themselves sitting in the passenger side of an ugly Box. I have one word to describe these things when I see them, ugly. (Uh, the van not the ladies.) I Just don’t get it.
Image
Please somebody tell me why this Box is supposed to be cool? Anybody…
Image
For the junior Mobsters in your family, the trunk space is just big enough to put a body inside so you can get rid of it.
Image
Scion from the inside, wow, looks Ugly from here too. Note: you can customize your interior as well.
Image
The small car looks like a compact version of that Boxy van in the background, sorry still not buying it.
Image
Come on, by putting wood (fake?) on the sides, are older people suppose to buy this crap? By adding the brown wood favor, it looks even more like a box. Lame…

I am going to check this out

I'm going to see this movie today.

Yojimbo From FFX2

Image
I’ve been playing Final Fantasy X-2 lately, and loving it too. But, I am kind of stuck. Every time I keeping doing a Calm Lands sidequest, I keep getting Pwned by Yojimbo. He reduces all my characters to 1 hp and then kills them before I can heal them. I find it kind of funny that he was an Ally, very powerful one at that. But, in X2 he’s a bad guy. Yojimbo is a great Aeon that you have to pay to fight for you. The more you pay the more damage he dishes out. I always like using him, because he wasn’t doing it for the good guys, but for the money. I was surprised he returned for X-2. He has the coolest intro of all the Aeon. Plus, he has a cool little ugly dog that fights as well.
Image
Why am I putting a pic of Rikku in this post, because she's cute that's why.

The Bitter Worker

Someone told me I am the most irritate and bitter worker he’s ever seen. I felt proud. It takes a lot of hard work to keep anger consistent. People just don’t know how hard it is to hate one’s job as much I do. But, it’s good to know someone is noticing. All truth be told, I’m not sure I can hold out another year at this place.

The Big Ron Moore Interview

Image
This the link to Ron Moore (the creator of the "Battlestar Galactica" ) interview where he talks pretty raw about Rick Berman and Braga his long time friend. They had a major falling out, which seems to have healed over the years, because they have done two commentaries together. IGN: Ronald D. Moore please note its about 18 pages long but a good read about the creative process of writing. I really look up to this guy.

Joel Schumacher, this is for you

Image
Okay, I feel a little bad about Bashing Joel Schumacher. He was a good writer and director back in the day. He wrote the excellent cult classic Car Wash . He helped write a strange take on Oz called the The Wiz . I feel that somewhere along the way he lost his edge and gave in to money. He started to play it safe. It happens to many people, such as Lucas. One of the things that humbles us is our failures, such his Batman and Robin movie. It knocks us back down to our basic levels, because sometimes we forget where we came from and how hard we worked to get to the top. Here is a list of his good movies and bad ones. Good Movies The Lost Boys , Flatliners , Falling Down , A Time to Kill , 8MM , Phone Booth Bad movies The Phantom of the Opera , Bad Company , Batman & Robin , D.C. Cab (yes the movie with Mr. T)
Image
Smile Joel, things are looking up for you. Then again, please don’t I haven't forgiven you for messing up Batman like that.

Batman Begins Review (day late and a Penny short)

Image
Batman Begins It’s been many years since there has been a Batman movie. Thanks to Joel Schumacher and WB, the last one was complete and total crap. Well, many years have passed and a new team of creative people has come in taken charge of the project. These people seem to understand the long history behind Batman, and they respect that rich history. And, you can tell these people are fans of the comic books, unlike Tim Burton and Schumacher. I went saw this movie again a few weeks ago. The movie was even better the second time around. Unlike the 89 version of Batman, this movie is an origin story. In a way, it’s more about the growth of Bruce Wayne, than about Batman. David Goyer (writer of the Blade Series) weaves a dark tale of how Bruce Wayne comes to believe the things that he believes in. Goyer has one central theme to his story, and that theme is fear. Many reviewers hated the early 89 movie because Bruce wasn’t really a character in the film, because...
