A few videos Prolonged Death Star scene : I got a laugh out it. Btw, I like the newer Death Star explosion compared to the one in the old version. AIG’s Butterflies ad : I love this ad. So, the people behind AIG just thought about Butterflies while they’re company went down the tubes. Youtube Poop Nah-roo : I watched this with a friend and we got a kick out it. It’s not for everyone.

Steven Seagal is the man Old school wisdom from Steven Seagal Comment: I just love how he just loses interest in what he’s actually saying and ends the story. Steven Seagal Runs like a girl I have to agree he has a very wimpy run. BTW, after watching this clip , I’ve come to conclusion that he’s crazy. (I guess making his own energy drink didn’t reveal that fact.)

TLC-Creep (Mega-Remix post) TLC is one of those groups that came out with some interesting songs in their first album. I felt their crazy acting wasn't that amusing in their first album. That all changed with Crazy Sexy Cool . With their second album, TLC proved that moving beyond their early gimmicks and making a mature, smooth, and jazzy album was the way to go. They showed that sexually could be handle with some maturity, such as Red Light Special, and that jazz could be mixed with hip-hop and R&B (Such as Waterfalls) . On their first album, Baby-baby-baby was an indicator where the group was heading. Creep was a prime example of the smoother style they perfected on their second album. While the actual message isn't morally sound, you can look past that for the sheer smoothness. It is just a good song period. The music video is simple visually, but the fast editing with the music fits into each other nicely. The quick fades to black are a nice touch. ...

Random Stuff ~ The Samurai Frog list his top ten GI Joe characters : I agree with him. I love Roadblock (The human version of Jazz or Blaster from Transformers) Destro would also be on my list too. I'd put Big Lobe on the list, he was the basketball player that never received a toy. I still think the new movie will probably stink, but man thinking about watching that show back when I was a child brings back fond memories. Yo, Joe! ~Watching Sex and the City movie, I noticed how rough Cynthia Nixon looks in the movie. She used to be rather attractive in the show. On the other hand, Kim Cattrall surprisingly looks better than she looked the later years of the show. I'm not saying she ever looked good, but she certainly has a good body for a 50-year-old. ~ Kentucky fires Billy Gillispie : Two seasons and gone. I’m not a sports fan. This isn’t a sports blog, but I wanted to bring this up. Kentucky chased Tubby Smith away, and he was a good coach. They brought i...

Battlestar Galactica: Daybreak (Series Finale) (Review part I of II) This will be a spoiler filled review. Daybreak is an action packed finale that also has some nice character moments. For a show that has always had a bleak outlook, I was delighted to see a more hopeful ending. Sure some people don’t make it, but it is good to see the fleet actually make it to the end. With only the mini-series and a handful of regular series episodes under my belt, I can safely say I’m not a hardcore fan. However, I am a fan of Ron Moore. With the mini-series freshly in my mind, I have to say I am really impressed with what Moore and his merry ban of writers accomplished here. They’re not going to give you all the answers but they’ll give you enough to keep you satisfied. I am really pleased the way the show ended and watching the LOST-like flashbacks were handled fairly very good. I remember Prison Break also used the Lost-like flashbacks as well to great effect. I know s...

Right now, I'm working on a review on BSG's series finale and should have it up by the end of the day, I hope. I enjoyed it a great deal

Word of the day Pwned I just love this video. It is short and to the point. Pwned!

Vince Offer vs. Billy Mays Round III (The Hooker Bust) http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0327092sham1.html Just after writing about the Shamwow, this came up on the Digg site about his arrest. Smoking Gun reported that his real name is Vince Shlomi, which is a goofier name than ‘Offer’, and that he’s 44. Funny, the guy doesn’t look 44. ((Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room. According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex." Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue)) Here are a few...

Billy Mays vs. Vince Offer II Shamwow vs. Zorbeez The War has begun. They’re both just rags to me. Taken from popularmechanics.com, ((In a radio interview on Feb. 10, 2009, infomercial superstar Billy Mays claimed that the popular Shamwow has trod on the turf of Zorbeez , a super-absorbent towel he promoted in a separate infomercial about two years prior.)) They tested the two rags and Shamwow came out on top. I think this has something to do with the fact Xenu is a friend of Vince Offer. The power of Xenu is strong with this little overpriced dish rag. Taken from their site, ((The Zorbeez measures 19-1/4 x 27-1/4 inches. The Shamwow, at 19 x 23 inches, soaks more despite its smaller size. A cold-water rinse of the beer-soaked rags caused heavy saturation of the Zorbeez, but the Shamwow sprung back after wringing and seemed to have already shed most of the moisture. Dry times in the sun proved otherwise—after 5 hours in cool air, the Zorbeez had become dryer than the damp Shamwow,...

"Nice Try" Random Thoughts ~ Top Ten deadbeat athletes : Some of the people on the list aren’t a surprise. I had no idea Karl Malone had a few little Malones running. Here’s the kicker, NFL player Demetrius Bell is supposedly Karl Malone’s son. And it gets weirder; Bell’s mother had him at the age of 13 when Malone was in college. ~ Pharrell just got cooler: Something tells me singing and dancing won’t make McDonald’s open up any earlier, but nice try. I try this next time I’m standing in front of a closed shop. ~ Square Enix eats Eidos : This is big news. Keep in mind, Squaresoft at one time was a business partner with Eidos. Eidos would publish some of Square’s PC games (Such as Final Fantasy VII on the PC). It’s kind of funny that they’re buying many of the shares of Eidos. Here’s hoping they can improve the Tomb Raider franchise. ~ Reason number 700 not to like Twitter : So, 50 Cent doesn’t write his own Twitter shit. Do you really want to follow every mov...

Watchmen writers Q&A Make sure to click here and download the podcast . David Hayter and Alex Tse go into great detail into how they developed their versions of the screenplay. Hayter explains how he became a writer, which is very interesting. Heck, he even does the Snake (From MGS) voice.

The main reason Steven Seagal sucks and is cool at the same time… Back in his “Out for Justice” days, he would have merely jumped into the chopper and took it down with his bare hands. Here, an overweight Seagal waddled out of his ride and shoots down a damn chopper with a handgun. What? He’s so out of shape that he doesn’t even move anymore and it is all done with slow motion. Now, how does he kill the main bad guy in this clip and how does the guy bleed on the wall? Man, he’s just sleepwalking through all his scenes. By the way, just how did he get out this exploding truck in this scene below? Teleportation or poor editing combine with no stunt double?

Random Stuff ~ Bike Riding: I really can’t wait for some drier weather to come around. Anyway, I was traveling through the city on my bike and I entered a rather large park. I attempted to ride up a huge monster hill and I thought I was doing a good job, when a professional bicyclist blew past me. I mean he was smoking by at a great speed. He really showed me up. Even though a fellow classmate told me they saw me flying by as they walked down the Highlands. ~ China Bans Youtube? : What are you protecting your people from, vblog from teenagers, youtube poop cartoon? Oh, you didn't like that video with the soldiers supposedly beating Tibetan monks. ~As I watched LOST on TV tonight, a new ad for a comedy show came on during the break. It is called “In the Motherhood” . It's based on a web series of the same name . I can't sit through the episode because Jenny McCarthy is in it. I don't get it, but then again this is not my Demo. ~ Where the Wild Thi...

Alex Gaudino’s “Watch Out” video Man, that was hot. It combines videogames with very fit and tanned women bouncing around. What more can someone ask for? Okay, the music wasn’t that good to begin with, which is the reason to throw as many hot women into the video to distract you from the music. I think Americans would get into soccer (Football) if they played the game like this. If you can look beyond the T&A I really like that the video does have a videogame feel to it. ( MC has a post about a Music Video that has striking resemblance to Wipeout ) If you remember, Alex Gaudino did another similar video with a female marching band . While Gaudino's videos are sexier, I think Michael Gray's The Weekend video is more stylistic and has a better music and singing in it.

Top Ten worst videos http://shortattentionspan.net/10-worst-music-videos-ever-made/ This list is pretty good and the number one video is really bad (I wanna love you tender) -Plus, every David Hasselhoff song needs to be on some worst list. -Wham made the list and and no one didn’t know George Michaels was gay after this video. I’d nominate this little gem. He’s channeling the Hoff here. And, while I love this freaking Michael Jackson song, the music video is lame. It just has Michael Jackson standing behind a laser and smoke. We all know that he’s made bigger and better videos later on in his career. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hK3Y1Ehv9c

Role Models Not exactly the best comedy in the world. That doesn’t matter because I had a lot of fun with Role Models. There are many lines and scenes that made me laugh and that’s all I need for a raunchy comedy. But, there is more to the movie than gay and poop jokes, there is heart too. The story is simple, but the actors are the real reasons the story works as it does. Like Zack & Miri Make a Porno, there is a fun little message in this film that is full of nudity and cussing. And also like Zack & Miri, this movie feels like a Judd Apatow movie, even though he has nothing to do with it. Hell, I half expected Seth Rogen to have a cameo in this movie, though it didn’t happen. The cast is full of Apatow actors. When two f-ups are court-ordered to enroll in a Big Brother type program, they receive two of the worst kids in the bunch. As they go through the motions to fill out their court-ordered days in the program, they start to like the kids. Director David Wain does ...

Pulgasari: The North Korean version of Godzilla movie ! While reading the entertaining post on North Korea on Crack.com , I came across the story about film-freak/communist dictator Kim Jong-il wanting to make his own Godzilla movie. I guess he sat around and looked at the old Godzilla films and said, “Hell, I can make this.” And, he failed. So, did he look for ‘talent’ in his own country in order to make the movie? Nope, he decided to kidnap South Korean film director Sang-ok Shin . That’s right Kim Jong held him captive for many years before escaping and living in the US. He forced him to make this reimagining Godzilla film. Sang-ok Shin died 2006, but what kind of movies did he direct and produce before his death? The 3 Ninjas franchise. That’s right the last movie he directed, according to IMDB , was 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up . He also produced a few of the 3 Ninjas movies. I blame Kim Jong-il for this. Anyway, Pulgasari doesn’t hold a candle to the far superior Godzilla fil...

The newest Priceline Negatiator ad is great Oh, man this actor has all of William Shatner’s mannerism down to a T. In many ways, Priceline is the reason Shatner has the career that he has now. The ads poke fun at him and his bad acting. And, Shatner is willing to make fun of himself. The actor in the ad seems to be channeling Shatner of the 60s than the Shatner of old. Hell, he does a better job with Shatner than Shatner does today. While the above is my current favorite, the one below is still funny. This is because Shatner always felt upstaged by Nimoy and complained to Gene that Spock always received more fan mail than he did. And the reason he even got a directing gig on STV is because he wanted what Nimoy had. So, this ad is a play on that. And here is a bonus re-post of the Shatner Remix of Whoo!

Random Thoughts ~I seem to find myself around mentally unstable people all the time. And, I'm not even sure why. They seem to always want to talk to me and interact with me . ~ Coolio's Tour canceled : I didn't realize he still had enough 'juice' to even have a damn tour. He's canned his touring in Australia. While Coolio doesn't have much of a career here in the US, he's really popular around the world. But, crack, come on? ~May the Internet Gods bless Keyra Augustina and her fine booty (NSFW): She was one of the earlier webcam girls that danced and bounced her way into many computer screens. The only problem I have with her is that this ushered in some women that have no business shaking their thangs for the whole world. ~I've watched the first part of the series finale of BSG and will watch the second part whenever Hulu.com puts the second part online. I hope to have a review up too.

Uh, Best Buy DVD players come with porn DVD ? Where's the closest Best Buy? ( The Original flickr post not safe for work ) I guess this is way to keep customers buying your product. If a DVD magically popped out of my newly bought DVD Player, I’d give a fist-pump. (Poor choice of words.) The new owner of the porn-ready DVD had this to say about their bonus purchase. Lisaya, ((To the Consumerist: This is my photo and my husband and I really did find this DVD in our player. We bought it at the Best Buy next to Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara/San Jose. If anyone returned a DVD player there with Buckets of Cum in it, contact us and we'll give you your DVD back!! Yes, it was pretty funny! At first my husband was thinking, "Sweet!!! Score..." when we opened it up. We got a good laugh, but then I started thinking, "Wait a second, we bought it as a regular item, not open boxed. Why is there a DVD in there then?" We were going to complain...

Liam Neeson: He shows up to pay tribute to his wife. ((As Broadway paid tribute to Natasha Richardson Thursday night with a symbolic one-minute dimming of its marquees, the late actress's husband, Liam Neeson, her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, and her sister, Joely Richardson, were comforted by Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick as well as fellow actor Ron Rifkin. )) I really feel bad for him. I can’t imagine what is he is going through. He just lost his wife, but he’s able tot show up Broadway for a Tribute to his wife. Broadway dimmed the lights on the streets. I always enjoyed Neeson's work. My heart goes out to him over the loss of his wife

R andom Things ~What is up with OctoMom? She seems to have drama everyday, and she keeps ending up in the news. T his time over Gloria Allred . She called the cops on Allred. That's crazy woman on crazy woman action. Listen, If I had an Gloria Allred in my house, I'd call the cops too. Those Allred's are hard to get out. What is funny is that now she's had second thoughts about her decision to create a tribe . ~ NBC's Jeff Zucker just doesn't get it : He's little upset with John Stewart's attacks against D-bag Jim Cramer. I find Zucker’s remarks just plain stupid. Doesn't Saturday Night Live this kind of stuff too? You don’t like it on the other end of the table, Zucker. And, I still think having Jay Leno on at 10PM makes no sense. John Stewart's big boss defends him though. ~I'm noticing a trend in radio stations. Talk radio seems to be phasing out all together. I'm no fan of Opie and Anthony, but the station they ...

Stan Bush Returns for Transformers II? Slash Film is reporting that the missing in action rocker Stan Bush might return with another 'rocking' version of his song The Touch . I know all is right in the universe when a Transformers movie has a little bit of Stan Bush in the soundtrack. Now, what about Lion? From Slash Film, ((According to Bush, “The Touch” will be featured on several of the toys for the new film and might even be featured in the movie itself. Stan says he has recorded a new “killer version” of the song, and submitted it for the film.)) This has my fanboy emotions all hyped up now. But something tells me that Michael Bay won’t have his song in the film. Bay isn’t exactly an expert in the Transformers and I think he won’t have any thing connecting to the 80s film. Anyway, Stan Bush (Not exactly a great last name to have right now) has a myspace page and make sure to check out his 'rocking' songs that sounds like they're from the 80s . Oth...

Seth MacFarlane on The Adam Carolla Podcast Like him or hate him, Seth is an interesting guy. I loved listening to him talking to Adam. -Seth talks about religion -He goes into the story about missing the flight with the airplane that went into the tower on 9/11. That would have freaked me out. -He goes into the reason why Norm Macdonald was replaced with Adam Carolla .

Not Worf's best moment... _________________________________ Worst Star Trek TNG episode ever Holy crap, this clip is horribly funny. Somehow, this old woman shape-shifts into a cheap TOS style creature and threaten to kill a sick crewmember. I love the fact Worf gets punked by this creature and only attempts to hit her when she changes back into the old woman. This episode is called The Dauphin . Taken from the IMDB page, ((A pretty girl, Salia, comes aboard the Enterprise with her diminutive guardian. She is to be taken to her home planet where she will fulfill her duty as the one to bring peace to the warring factions. Wesley falls for the girl and is no good to anyone as he woos her. Later we find she and her guardian are allomorphs, what in later sci-fi series are called shape shifters. Her guardian transforms into a monster that takes on Worf, and wins. Salia's natural form is something not as attractive to Wes, souring his ardor. )) In other words, W...

Leonard Nimoy's Star Trek Memories video (1983) This is purely a fluff piece, it is interesting to watch something vintage. One thing that Nimoy doesn't mention is the fact the NBC Network didn't want Spock back for the second pilot because his character looked too demonic. Part Three : He tells the story about the origins of the Vulcan Salute. Part Four : The Star Trek The Motion is mentioned here. Nimoy softballs the story about the transition between TMP and The Wrath of Kahn. The studio forced Gene Roddenberry out of his producer duties and brought in Harve Bennett and Nicholas Meyer . The studio demoted Gene to an executive consultant where he couldn’t do anything about the second movie. __________________________ Deforest Kelley visits the set of TNG This is another fluff piece, but it still rather entertaining. I loved the original series, but I felt TNG is a better written and crafted series, mainly because Gene was pushed out of the show and...

Shepard Smith is goofing on Glenn Beck Smith is a total badass. He simply doesn't care what FOX things about him and says whatever he wants to. Hey, Glenn Beck is such as dick that he's on the site Dickipedia. Check out his entry .

I guess I should be happy that my school is the number one seed in the NCAAA Tournament, but I really don’t care. But, I do like Rich Pitino and it just pisses off the stupid UK fans. (UK fans are calling for the school to fire their coach.) ______________________________________ Random Things ~Lex Luthor wants a Bailout too : What happens when Lexcorp needs a bailout like the rest of the companies. Superman can't bring down Lexcorp but the economic downturn can. I guess Superman can spin the world around in reverse and stop the economic crisis. ~ I’ve re-watched Higher Learning . It is a good movie, if a little unfocused at times. Tyra Banks is annoying, but very attractive in this movie. I keep thinking about the fact she dated John Singleton and probably did it to further her career. ~ Ron Silver dead at 62 : Wow, I didn't even know he was sick to begin with. He was good at playing villains if I remember correctly. ~I fell completely asleep in class...
