Littering is a battlefield

Image
Littering is a battlefield Man, the guy that threw the trash out was a total ass-hat. In the US, this type of d-bag would be driving a Hummer instead of the car in the video. Ask yourself this: Have you ever seen a nice person driving a hummer? The guy throwing back into the car is a hero in my book.  In Russian, trash throws you!!! Anyway, I love that the other guy joined in the “giving the trash back” pitch in. Here's the full video

Random Things Kim Jong-un:  "Okay, which one of you just farted?  I mean talk about weapons of mass destruction, geez.  We you use your ass as weapon."   ~Kim Jong-un's ex-girlfriend dies by firing squad: Well, that is an extreme way to break up with your ex. Supposedly, her and other artist broke one of the worst rules in North Korea...porn. It was death by firing squad. NK doesn't play around when it comes to porn, though I bet it was because of something else entirely.  Even the most heartless BF will send a text or tweet saying "we're done".  ~ New Villain in Avengers II : Behold, James Spader is the next super villain in Marvel's movie universe. He is going to play Ultron. Ultron is an AI with a robotic body . (Think Legion from Mass Effect II) He can also mind control people and has super strength. He's kind of like what Brainiac is currently for DC. I think Spader has enough a “bad guy” vibe in him to play the characte...

Tropes vs. Men

Image
Tropes vs. Men Parody sometimes is best form of flattery. I don't like the Damsels in Distress series, because she likes to twist the facts to her whim like Fox News. But, this video also makes fun of the guy gamers that truly feel games aren't for girls.

About that Indiana Jones Gun scene...

Image
About that Indiana Jones Gun scene... This was one of my favorite scenes in the “first” film where Indy stands there facing off with a sword swinging bad guy. And Indy just shoots him. The production planned an big fight between Indy and sword guy but later changed it to the “just shoot the guy”. Rumor has it, Ford had the shits very badly and didn't want to run around swinging his whip, so he suggested he just shoot the sword guy. (I've heard other stories too.) They repeated this scene for Temple of Doom with a different ending. There is an interesting discussion about the fact Whedon mentioned the problem with scene in an interview with EW and it was further discussed in the Huffington Post . And, it is a problem I had with Temple of Doom for years now. Flash to Temple of Doom, Indy is in the same situation where now there are two sword swinging guys. He pauses and smiles (almost to the camera) and grabs for his gun to shoot them. He lost his gun e...

George Zimmerman: Yeah, he's an a-hole

Image
George Zimmerman: Yeah, he's an a-hole Yeah, going to the gun factory that made the gun that killed Trayvon is a bit of a dumb move. The smiling picture is also a bit much. Does he not feel remorseful that he killed an unarmed man regardless of the situation? If I just found not guilty of the crime, I'd lay low for a few months. Yet, the man is walking around as if he's a hero. Check out the TMZ story . It is also upsetting that people are cheering him on as if he's a hero and giving him money. Even if I knew I was in the right, I'd feel a bit of guilty about the fact I killed an unarmed kid. A freaking teenager that was just walking home. I also love that his lawyers even said it was a stupid decision. From Yahoo News , (( “ We certainly would not have advised him to go to the factory that made the gun that he used to shoot Trayvon Martin through the heart,” Shawn Vincent, a spokesman for attorney Mark O’Mara, told Yahoo News. “That was not par...

Ben Affleck as Batman? Huh?

Image
Ben Affleck as Batman? Huh? Ben Affleck aka Daredevil as Batman in the new Superman movie... I am not sure what to make of this news. First off, everyone thought WB would go much, much younger for the role of Batman. I even thought they'd go young with a Batman Year One version of the character. It would be interesting to see a young Batman square off with a new Superman. But, it appears they're going with a seasoned older Batman with the casting of Ben. Ben Affleck has become a good actor, director, and writer, but it just seems like strange choice for the role. And, I am not as pissed as other fanboys about this news, I just find it an odd choice. I am willing to give Daredevil a chance as Batman. There seems to be a trend of actors playing more than one role as a superhero.  Looking Ben now, he does have the Bruce Wayne look down of late.  So, might just work.  Look at him. Now, I just hope they find a way to bring in Power Gir...

Star Wars End Titles remix

Image
Star Wars End Titles remix I've been listening to this guy's geek remixes over the past weeks and this remix is sweet. Somehow, he's made the Ewok song (later cut) from Return of Jedi better. He also mixed the end title theme song with the prequel version seamlessly and it leads right into Duel of the Fates and into Empire Theme.  Check out the rest of his remixes here on his channel GeekRemixed .

 Random Things ~I've been on edge a bit lately. I guess with school starting up soon and dealing with my shitty job it has been making me a bit edgy. I am having more bad days than good. But, I think I can get over the hump once I get back into burying my head into school work. Last semester probably produced some of my best work. I hope I can put everything into this semester too. ~The Patriot: I watched that movie recently, and I have to say it still holds up. While they make the British into really evil people, I do like seeing the side of the Revolutionary War from the Southern side. And, I don't think they sidestepped the slavery issue at all. I know that Spike Lee has to be mad about something. Mel is brutal in that movie and a total bad ass. Fred:  "Great, The Marine showed up in my house?  I guess he wants to go 12 Rounds with me." ~F red from that annoying Fred franchise is gay: Wow, tell me something I didn't know all ready. ...

Well, this flash mob made me cringe...

Image
 Well, this flash mob made me cringe... While the out of place and out of sync guy was distracting, the annoying Black Eyed Peas song was worst. So, this is the song you pick to flash mob to? Note: If you look closely, there is another guy that's out of sync in the far left corner. I mean he's almost as bad as tight shirt guy on the right, check him out. The whole thing is a mess and should have been canceled halfway through.   I think a few flash  grenade  could have solved the problem of this flash mob.  

Giant Metal Deer vs. Overpass

 Giant Metal Deer vs. Overpass I love how everyone slows down just as the truck goes under the overpass. I also like that the two dudes give the truck driver shit as they pull up. I didn't like the annoying techno music playing on the radio though. Now, where was this giant deer being transported to? Why did they use a dump truck when a flatbed would be better suited.   

Jack and Jill

Image
Jack and Jill I was writing this review when Film Brain did his review, so I'll post it here. I got a kick out of it. This Jack and Jill has nothing do with the fable story. If you want to see man in his 40s walk around in drag with unfunny jokes, this movie is for you. The movie is a mess, but not a total mess. With a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes, Jack and Jill is that kid in elementary school that smelled bad and everyone hated him. Well, it isn't the worst Adam Sandler movie, but that isn't saying much. Jack and Jill are both played by Adam Sandler, so that means one of his characters has to put on an annoying and loud voice. In this case, it is Sandler's Jill character. Jill is loud and stupid. Sandler tries his best to make sure you hate Jill, but then tries to make you feel sorry for her. She goes out of her way to annoy you, but then cries when people confront her about it. She gets upset with her brother over some of the dumbest things an...

Gas N Fuel Training video

Image
 Gas N Fuel Training video: This is fake, but it is funny. Wow, this is a crazy training video. These people are too happy to be working at a gas station. The worst costumer service is always at the gas station. I've never seen employees so pissed to see you enter their store. Found this gem on reddit. It is spot on in the real training video vibe. -Mopping is exciting: They even try to make this job seem exciting. I can tell you it is not. -Gas N Fuel: Isn't that a little redundant? -Why did they throw in the sliding video with the horses? -Why is there a can of paint-thinner inside a running microwave? Who put that in there and why? I love that the training lady is perfectly okay with this knowledge. -Nails on the floor: I am going to start doing this too.

Commander Riker sits a certain way...The Riker Maneuver?

Image
Commander Riker sits a certain way...The Riker Maneuver? I've always got a kick out of Riker's sit down motions. I didn't realize he did it this much though.  I do this movement sometimes when I sit in a lower chair. But, Riker is a tall man and can swing his leg over any chair it seems.  I guess this is swagger. 

Hawaii Five O “Bing It”

Image
Hawaii Five O “Bing It” I'm okay with product placement, but this is just stupid and awkward. No one says “Bing It” when ordering someone to search for something online. They say Google it, but not Bing it. I also like that show literally stops in order for us to get a close up of the Bing homepage. Thank you for that. Bing is the Zune of search engines.  It just seems forceful to me.  Which one is worst? The Subway one or this one?

Obi Wan returning in Star Wars Episode VII?

Image
Obi Wan returning in Episode VII? Lantino Review reported that there is strong possibility that Ewan McGregor might just come back as Obi-Wan in ghost form. Latino Review has had good scoops in the past, so this could probably be true.  I'm sure they're just into talks.  From Latino Review, (( After all, Obi-Wan Kenobi appeared throughout the original trilogy, despite his death in ‘A New Hope’. I have confirmed this with three close sources that are on the project and they all confirmed to me that Ewan McGregor would be back as a Force Ghost in the upcoming sequel trilogy.  )) While Ewan has bashed the prequels in the past, but it appears he has changed his tune once Disney took over the Lucas franchise. Ewan has now stated he'd come back to play Obi-Wan. If Disney doesn't comment or shoot down the rumor, there may very well be validity to this story. Anyway, I am totally down with Ewan returning as Obi-Wan. I'd be down with a standalone movi...

Justin Bieber, You're a Strange F'

Image
Justin Bieber, You're a Strange F' I've, unfortunately, endured the totally bizarre photos of Justin Bieber strutting around his grandmother's house naked, with a guitar covering his junk. I don't know if this is a Bieber cultural thing, but we don't do this at my house. Heck, I hate seeing myself naked let alone letting my 70+ grandmother seeing my wang-chung.  I am sure she'd have a heart attack.   I have no idea how this is a treat or prank for anyone. Click if you want to see him turn the other cheek, NSFW . I'd love to stop talking about him, but he keeps doing stupid things.

Bernie Kosar

Image
Bernie Kosar and his daughter does what? I know nothing about football, but this got my attention because the porn angle. If you throw porn into any story, my ears perk up.  Doing color commentary, Bernie said something about a player stating his parents should be embarrassed. I guess Bernie has his parents trumped with the fact his daughter very well be an adult star. When you bring up parents in a stupid game anyway, I think all gloves are off . Perhaps you shouldn't mention parents and embarrassment in the same breath.  And, I am sure he's not too happy with the fact she is doing porn, either. Keep in mind that it still hasn't been confirmed yet, but it is fitting if it were true. I'm sure Laurence Fishburne feels the same same way as Bernie. Either way, she's pretty cute. Lexxi Silver, allegedly his daughter's stage name , works with Mofo.com a lot, but I won't put the link in the post.  And, hey, I am not hating, you got to make ...

The Day the Clown Cried footage

Image
The Day the Clown Cried: Jerry Lewis' crap film has some footage. Like the Star Wars Holiday Special, Jerry Lewis wants no one to see this movie. However, some of a “making of” footage has surfaced and uploaded to the Internet. Lewis directed and rewrote the movie.  Lewis made the clown more likeable in his version of the script.   No one besides a handful of people have seen the movie fully. And most of them have blasted the movie. It became apparent that Lewis' ego was in full effect with this misguided project. I'd like to see someone's pet project go down in flames (Battlefield Earth and After Earth), but Lewis and others dropped the movie. From Yahoo, ((Harry Shearer, longtime voice of several "Simpsons" characters and part of the comedy band Spinal Tap, echoes Lewis's thoughts. After seeing a bootleg copy of the film, he said (according to a 2006  Variety print article), "This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos and...

State Farm: A talking mime, baby, and The Yellow Ranger!

Image
State Farm: A talking mime, baby, and The Yellow Ranger! This ad has two things I hate, a baby and a mime. Yet, something caught my eye. I noticed that the mother is the former Yellow Power Ranger. Did some digging and confirmed it is the “third or second” Yellow Ranger . (Nakia Burrise) She looks great by the way.    I do kind of like that she seems to okay with the fact she gave birth to a mutant baby.  Talking babies are annoying, because they've done too many times by now.  I hate clowns and mimes even more, but the Yellow Ranger softens the bad stuff.  The Black Nerd did an interview with Nakia Burrise last year during a convention. Check it out.

Star Wars Binary Sunset

Image
Star Wars Binary Sunset This is one of my favorite musical cues from John Williams in the Star Wars franchise. I remember hearing the sweeping music as Luke stares off into the double sunset. It is always an important moment. It shows the frustration Luke has in mind. He's conflicted because he hears the calling on going out on adventures in space. The French Horns really sell it in this track.  This is the "force theme" first time in all its glory.   Now, this wasn't the original track for that scene. Williams wrote and conducted completely different version of this cue. It is so different that it would have changed the way people would have perceived the scene. Sounds darker doesn't it? By the way, skip ahead to the 5:00 mark to listen to alt versions of the main theme.  

21 Jump Street

Image
21 Jump Street You know what?  This movie is actually very funny.  The movie not only works on as remake but a sequel to the original TV series.  After watching a bunch of Adam Sandler movies, it is a breath of fresh air to finally a see a good comedic movie.  It handles the rauchy jokes in the correct manner, while not linger on them; I am looking at you That’s My Boy . This movie is set in the same universe as the TV series from FOX.  You will actually see characters from the old show appear in the movie while being played by the same actors.  It is a nice little treat and shows the makers of the movie are actually fans, while also parodying the franchise.  Even Channing is in on the fun by making him seem like a total idiot.  Jonah Hill  and Channing Tatum have great chemistry together.  They actually seem like brothers, one being the nerdy-fat kid and the other being the jock.  They play on these high school tropes a lo...

Random Things ~ Leah Remini files a missing person report: She reported Shelly Miscavige as missing to the police. Of course, they will pull her out when the time comes. But, you have to love the trolling by Leah. They kept messing with her and sending her little messages via twitter, and now she is even going to write a book about the Scientology. By the way, if you Google Scientology into Google News, you get a lot of hits from Leah Remini vs. the church. You f' with people long enough, they will bite back. That's what the Church doesn't understand.   I want to file a missing Money Report for renting Battlefield Earth.   Damn you, Xenu! ~ Restaurant bans kids after during dinner : I have to say that I agree with this completely, because I have no kids and kids annoy me. Your loud kids are only adorable to you and your family, not us single people. Stop having them run around and being loud. Kids be damned!   ~ This Oprah Thing : I gue...

Chris Brown retiring, make it so, Number One.

Image
Chris Brown claims that he might just leave music behind, due to the “haters”. From EW.com, (( “ Don’t worry mainstream America,”  he wrote , “After this X album, it’ll probably be my last album.” He followed that up with the statement, “Being famous is amazing when it’s for ur music and talent. I’m tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I’m cool & over it!” )) So long and thanks for all the hits, to coin and distort a Douglas Adams phrase.  It is probably because it seemed like you were really sorry for your mistake, when you destroyed an office of morning news room. While I don't but that he's going to leave music behind, it would be good for him to sit aside for a while. This was something he should have done when the incident first happened. The man has a lot anger and hostility toward women and it's only a matter of time before we hear about another attack. I hope he does “fall off the face of the Earth” for a while,...

Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star

Image
Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star This might be the worst movie I’ve seen in a long time.   It is disjointed and poorly directed that it makes the spoof movies look like high art.   I am not lying.   The movie takes everything that is bad about the recent Happy Madison movies and turned it up to a worst grade of shit.   What it boils down to is that the jokes aren’t funny.    The main character is a drip and the script is nothing but jizz and penis jokes.   I am all for that, but there has to be a good story behind the crude jokes, but there is nothing there.  Nothing here is redeemable.  The movie is a complete steaming turd, and it seems to be proud of its stinky nature.   The basic plot is Bucky finds out that his parents were huge pornstars from the 70s.  Bucky decides to become a pornstar too, but he’s penis is too small.  But, he has the ability to shot a lot of sperm without even touching the woman.  He becom...
