John Ottman’s score to X2


John Ottman’s score to X2
I fondly remember hearing this amazing score to the second film in the X-Men series.  For once, they actually had a stronger set of themes for the film unlike the first movie. 
My favorite part of the suite is the Phoenix/Jean Grey theme in the middle of the track.  The use of the piano beginning the theme was a nice choice.  There is a sense of wonderment and sadness to it, with a hint of darkness. 
While I like the Phoenix theme in the X3, I felt they should have carried over Ottman’s Phoenix theme to that movie, but then again we’re talking about Brett Ratner.

About this Perez Hilton thing...

Image
  Anyone who has read my blog back in the day is fully aware that I hate, no, loathe, Perez Hilton.  He was the large turd of the blog world.  He would draw these stupid things over famous people's photos, like penises and things even more childish. There being mean and rude, but the drawings really pissed me off.  He would attack all these celebrities, but refused to go after other famous people.  Hilton was a piece of shit.   I sort of lost interest in him, and he sort of faded away from my attention.  For many, he was a relic of the early 2000s, like me (yikes).    Better and nicer gossip vloggers and bloggers started to rise up and replace him.   Today, I actually feel sorry for him.  I am certain you have heard of his serve meltdown/sucide appemt.  He went live on TikTok, cut himself up, covered in blood, and threatened to self-delete himself.  I could only get through the first few seconds before turning it...

The Knightfall trailer, hmm

Image
  The Knightfall comic series was the story that got me into comic books in the 90s, that and the death of Superman.  In the 90s, DC went dark, really dark.  They pushed, destroyed, and rebuilt their iconic characters just to see what they were made of.  During this era, DC's heroes looked different after they were torn down.  What kind of person are you when they strip away everything?  Are you still the person you were before the fall? The Knightfall series brought Batman to his knees, literally.  Bane broke Batman physically and mentally.  With his back broken, Bruce had to step down from Batman.  Another, darker Batman had to take over.  After the new Batman went crazy, Bruce and his team had to take down the new Batman.  This new DC animated series has me worried.  The comic book story is great, but can we trust DC animation after The Killing Joke and Hush versions?  They made major changes that severely harmed the ov...

Snooki receives a book deal…

Snooki receives a book deal… From Reuters , ((The 22-year-old, better known by her nickname "Snooki," will publish a novel, aptly titled "A Shore Thing," in January 2011, Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, said on Wednesday. )) And, my head is on fire too.  This is a woman that can barely speak on a 2 nd grade level and someone is giving her a book deal.  No, she didn’t earn a book deal; they’re just giving her one.  This is truly an insult to every aspiring writer out there that hasn’t gotten a book deal.  I bet this Snooki hasn’t ever entered a bookstore or library in her life other than to use the public bathrooms.  I went on a rant about this Jersey Shore cast claiming that the show is a simple enough idea.  Just gather a bunch of stupid people and throw alcohol at them.  Stick a camera in from of the mouth breathers, and it will be a hit.  Now, they’re taking it a step further by giving this little hobbit a book deal. ...
