Star
Trek V went through many different revisions. The behind-the-scenes
drama made Shatner cut entire scenes and even cut subplots from the
movie. Even though a bigger budget and a longer cut would have
helped the movie greatly, the movie sits on a flawed premise of “what
if Kirk met God?”. That is always an issue. However, the movie
would have been at least 30% better with some scenes added back in.
The Nimbus III deleted scene would have helped.
I
think this scene should have stayed in the movie.
Okay,
I wasn't too thrilled about Kevin Smith going back to his Jersey
universe. However, I sort of like the meta take on reboots and
remakes. The movie within the movie is being remade and Jay and
Silent Bob are going back to Hollywood to stop the remake...just like
the first movie. I think that is clever in the age of Ghostbusters
2016. I am hoping that Smith gets his mojo back after making some
not so good horror movies in Canada.
I love that the "old" actors from the fake Jay and Silent Bob movie are shitting on the remake. Sounds familiar.
Are Method Man and Redman playing their How High characters?
Plus,
it is good to see my girl Shannon Elizabeth back. I had a huge crush
on her for years.
I always find this relationship
between Chris Chan and his brother Cole to be an interesting one.
Cole, despite being a pretentious asshole hipster, is a somewhat
successful film critic, whereas Chris is...Chris Chan. Cole spent the better half of his life avoiding his Virginia roots by living in LA
and New York. Generally, Cole views everyone in the between states as
MAGA-wearing unwashed masses. The problem is that he grew up with
one of the worst mothers in the world. And, she wasn't able to ruin
Cole like she is Chris Chan.
Then there is the controversy about
Cole's father. Barbara, Cole and Chris' mother, was known as being a
bit "open" with men. That's not the problem. The problem is that
Barbara lied and counties to lie to Cole. He desperately wants to
know who his father really is. And, she'll take that lie to the
grave.
Cole and Chris no longer talk and Cole simply ignored Chris. Chris will beg for money from his brother from time to time. As if out of spite, Chris and his mother sold off many of Cole's things he collected over his teenage years. And, they didn't get permission.
Side Note: Despite losing a lot of backers and money, Chris Chan still makes more
on Patreon than Cole
Smithey. And, both of them make more than I. It must burn Cole up that people would rather hear what Chris has to say about a movie than Cole who is a professional critic.
I love the Danny Elfman score more than anything else. It is dark and brooding. However, the Prince stuff is rather entertaining too. I think they should have carried over Prince for the Batman Returns soundtrack too.
Midnight's Edge did a story
about the story behind Prince's Batman soundtrack album. One of the
best side marketing things WB ever did was have Prince connected to
the Batman 89 movie. All the songs fit within the Joker's troll-ish
attitude. Now, I had no idea about the MJ thing. It would make a sense that WB would want to connect MJ and Prince to the album.
I do believe Midnight's Edge
is wrong about one thing. The Bat-Dance song is in the movie. In
the beginning, you can hear a slowed-down version of it as a car
drives past the family walking the alleyway.
As far as the unreleased
Batman song that Prince wrote, listen to it below.
It is a neat track that has
a Joker feel to it. It seems Zimmer took some inspiration with his
Joker theme in TDK.
Side Note: There are
allegedly tracks of Prince making songs for Batman Returns which
Burton rejected because he wanted to move away from Batman 89.
What is interesting about this Prince/Joker character is that it is a take on the Two-Face character. Two-Face was only hinted at with Billy Dee Williams. If Burton hadn't change the plans of Batman Returns, we probably would have gotten the introduction of TF. Prince being a Batman fan threw in that little Two-Face cameo because he wanted to.
Ron, it is 2019, it is okay to come out of the closet. You don't need a beard any longer. Heck, gay marriage is even legal. All joking aside...
This is a new breed of nerdom. While geeks and nerds from my generation weren’t the most physical. We didn’t spend our time venting on one subject such Toye does. This Starbucks-drinking new breed of geeks is just strange to me. The squeaky voice and the strange grins are a bit strange even for me and I am a strange cat.
I like how Ron refuses to even reference the one story from Polygon that supports his claims because he’s in the “I don’t remember/recall” mode. Ty Beard even gives him a second chance to give a “yes” to the Polygon story on Vic.
While I think Vic is a bit too touchy frisky, you have to have solid proof that is a sexual monster. We’ve learned from the Chris Hardwick moment that you have to have receipts. I still think it will be hard to get money out of these people. I think they'll try to reach an agreement with an apology.
Like I said, I have no dog in this Kickvic fight. However, this deposition of Ron Toye is amazing to watch. I always wanted to see someone addicted to Twitter. It is funny to see a guy that got himself in trouble via Twitter. You can tell he’s lying a great deal midway through the deposition. The best part is Ron has his tweets protected. He should have done that before getting sued. Ron just rubs me the wrong way. There is something strange about this guy.
His lawyers need to tell him to stop tweeting at all cost. I’ll watch the second part soon.
Short Man, short
temper… (Short guy in bagel shop)
Tell me if you
heard this one; A short guy walks into a bagelshop…
Yes, just because
you are short, you’renotentitled
to pussy. Shut the f’ up, shortcake. Anyway, this
little prick decided to have a meltdown in a bagelshop
From what was reported, Shortcake decided to be rude to all the
females in the shop. He decidedto challengesome
of the males to a fight and got what he asked for…an ass-beating.
Thewhite knightdude
made short work of Shortcake. (Pun intended). Shortcake
got short in the stick. Perhaps, you shouldn’t buck
up to people when you can’t fight. Anyone can make short order with you.
Yes of being an
INCELfor all his lifemust
have erupted at that moment.Anyway,
this video made my day.
Anyway, what
an entitledlittle bitch. This
INCEL movement perplexesme more
than the pickup artists or third wave feminists. INCELs
have this sense of entitlement. So, women find you unattractive.
Big deal, I dealt with that my whole life, so that doesn't entitle me
to yell at every woman.
Anyway, one more
thing...From
NY Post,((To
top it off, the wacky customer didn’t pay for his order—a whole
wheat bagel with one egg white and Swiss cheese.))
During the height of the culture wars of GG, this gem of a song came out. For some stupid reason, I was bored and looked up Peter Coffin, the “comedian” that created his own Asian, and looked up his recent videos. He did this collaboration
I am not sure if the song and video are supposed to be a spoof or a “bat signal” to all soyboys. After watching this video, my glasses turned into horn-rimmed glasses, my pants turned into skinny jeans, and my shoes turned into sandles.
Coffin I see as that clown that hops on whatever hot thing at the time because he hates having a real job. Other than spending hours with Zoe Quinn, Coffin is mostly harmless. Mann, on the other hand, is that douche bag that brings his guitar to a rave or party in order to bang chicks. He’s that creeper that is willing to cock block you to get the chick.
In a strange soy way, I actually like some of his tracks.
Lee is one of the
TCAP guys that are known as a living meme in the same way as Sokoland
Stacy. He brought a double cheeseburger with no pickles to a
girl he believed was underage. He is that simpleguy
that doesn't think beyond getting something to eat. Unlike
the Pizza Predator, I find Greer to be patheticand
amusing in a clown sort of way.
Looking at Greer,
you would think he would realize no woman would want to go to bed
with him. The kicker is that he actually has/had a wife.
He threw away his life because he wanted to get some underage tail
and cheat on his wife. And, his chatlogsare
rather disgusting. He sent some nudes, which I recommend you don't see. I've been scared for life.
Beside his goofy
appearance, he is known for his "Oh, Lord" remark and the
"no pickles" comments. I am certain he wishes for no
pickles in prison.
So, what happened
to Lee Greer? Did he get his pickles?
He spent
two-three
years in prison. He worked for a family bike shop for a while.
Today, he is looking pretty bad. I can't find any info on the current state of his marriage. Side Note: Why was the decoy into so
into catching Greer?
As some people
know, I have an unhealthy crush on adult star Riley Reid. I used to
have a big thing for Aurora Snow, but she is retired. So, I moved
onto Miss Reid instead. I've also noted that she has a woman that
looks a great deal like her in the form of Melissa
Moore. Her pixie look is adorable.
I looked up her
post on Adult DVD, and her
early photos popped up. I laughed because she looks so different
from the current Riley Reid. This Riley Reid wasn't known for her
numerous Blacked videos or her gangbang work. This was before her
stupid ra[ career. She was literally a fresh-faced starlet getting
into the jizz-biz. I am guessing she been working and squirting for
about 8-9 years. In porn years, that's 20.
Part of the charm
of Miss Reid is she has that true girl next door look. She could
dress normally and people would think she just works at the mall
selling you shaved ice. And, unlike our man Rusty, I don't demand she go on a date with me and threaten legal action against her. (Shout out to Rusty Greer, you flea-bitten bastard.)
Someone at the Kiwi Farms discovered a hidden Chris Chan attempting to get in with some bronies. Someone at the Kiwi Farms zoomed in and revealed his awkwardness. It is sad when the most awkward people in the universe want nothing to do with you. While the gay community has begrudgery let him in, the Brony community generally hates Chris and have actively tried to get him kicked out of CONs, and rightly so.
She literally breaks character and stares at the camera for a really long time. That gaze is on someone realizing that they're in a Neil Breen movie. The best part is that she breaks the fourth wall and Breen doesn't even bother to cut and reshoot the scene. He just keeps the ruin take. Brilliant. Breen doesn’t even bother retaking the take. Is she trolling the production?
Other than surviving a Neil Breen movie, Danielle Andrade, the actress in the clip above, has been busy. She has been in many things and being in a Neil Breen flick was just a brain fart in her career. (Actually, she WAS in a movie called Brain Farts) I’d love to interview her and get behind the story of Neil Breen.
I was reading up
on everyone's favorite comic book goblin Mark Waid and the story
of famed art-swipe-er, Rob Granitocame
up. I wrote about Granito some ten years ago. Not only was he
stealing art and selling it off as his own, he was claiming he worked
with some of DC Comics greats as well. When he got called out, he
wrote this “wonderful” song for himself.
Yes, this song is
very much supposed to be real and from the heart. This wasn't
supposed to be a spoof. The Internet being the Internet made a great
spoof song that sounds 100% better than Rob's version.
