Drummer version of Corridors of Time I wanted to share this on the blog, because I mentioned that Corridors of Time is one of my favorite tracks from Chrono Trigger. Here are some other covers I haven't posted before.

Tekken 7: Lucky Chloe Yes, this sort of character caused an uproar in the Tekken and Video Game community recently. Not too surprisingly, this cute anime-ish character is causing some outcry. From YouTube Comments, (( Mobarak AlShamsi : I feel you man! How could those monsters include a character that you have a choice not to play as!  )) Thank you. Are people so butthurt over Tekken taking the piss out of those fans that dress up in Japanese animated characters and being cute all the time? Or are people considering this game to be sexist? I'm not sure yet. Please tell me people don't have a problem with her “sexy” outfit given the Dead or Alive series is far-far worst. Allegedly, one of the programers has tweeted that North America will not have the “honor” of getting Lucky Chloe. Instead, we'll be getting ((He described the typical Western character as a "well-muscled, skin-head [with a] very powerful attack... )) Yep, that...

Beyonce: 7/11 I don't think she talking about those convenient stores that sell you 40oz beers and lottery tickets. Or, maybe she is...   Okay, the song is total shit. I mean it is robotic clapping shit that Beyonce is way above because she actually knows how to sing. And, this is just catering to the crowds that like this shitty version of hip. Why are people in this form auto-tuning, which really distorts the voices of the singers? How did this get popular? It is just another song that gives you instructions into how to dance. Thanks, but no thanks, Beyonce. It just repeats over and over again.    Now, the video is actually not that bad. It probably has to do with Beyonce shaking her well-formed booty and seeing the other dancers bounce around in their underwear. Is the video “sexist”? I don't care, I like it. Is this what good-looking women do when they have a sleepover? 

Guy gets “knocked the f' out” Actually, the guy that did the knock out appears to have done one of those wrestling punches. You know, the open hand arm attack. The part that really shocks me is the friend of the knocked out dude just walks away from his friend. What a way to look out for your bro, dude. I also like that one woman comes into frame and looks, “Yep, he's knocked out.” You don't have to fight the other guy, but at least make an attempt to help the guy on the floor. The guy knocked out is in really bad shape. From Local 10.com, ((Hussein was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center, where he remains in a coma. Police said he suffered bleeding to his brain. )) Yes, the man is in a coma. WTF? This of course happened in Florida.

Sony Leaks: Someone doesn't like Adam Sandler that much...  Sandler might be the George Lucas of comedy. Meaning he's lost his touch, but still makes movies. I didn't want to link to Gawker, but damn they have some highlights from some of the leaked memos from Sony's hack (I am not sure why they're not in trouble with Sony over printing the links, but anyway...) It seems Sony is very upset with its contract with Sandler's company. And, it's not really making much money from his movies, plus all the strange demands put on the studio. I also should note that through their Marvel deal with Spiderman, they don't see any profits from merchandising. I'll probably get a takedown notice while Gawker stays clean. From Gawker, ((Need to improve the creative staff in Motion Pictures. Seems like we just reboot old product instead of coming up with new ideas like the Hunger Games. We need new fresh ideas that can drive franchise pro...

Samurai Cop 2: I guess we're getting another one  I wasn't sure there was enough people out there to make it a crowd funding thing, but here it is. It met his goal and more in the kickstarter fundraiser. The first Samurai Cop movie was a “cult” hit and a notoriously bad movie. The reason I even discovered they were doing another Samurai Cop movie was because I was rolling around Lexi Belle's Twitter Page and came across a crew photo . (What was I doing on Belle's Twitter page? Research?) My first thought was, “Wait, they're making another one?”  The first movie was infamous for being a bad movie...a really bad movie.  The Shaq Fu and Samurai Cop 2 kickstarters just go to show that you can put anything up for crowd funding. I am not knocking it, but fascinated by crowd funding. Shit can get funded. The follow up movie has a bunch of pornstars and character actors from the b-movies from the 90s...plus, Tommy Wiseau . Yes THAT Tommy. T...

Fourth of July Interpretive Dance Interpretive Dance, yep the founders really envision this tribute. I actually like this strange little kid. I hate Interpretive Dance, but it is so strange and goofy that comes around to being good (in a bad way). This is basically a mixture of The Room and that CathyMay15 girl . Now, I tried looking for more information on this bumpityboo guy , but it seems this little guy has disappeared from the Internet. 

Newsroom latest episode (thoughts)   I have a love/hate relationship with this show. There are times when the show works brilliantly like the second and thirds season, but also is a little shaky like the first season. I think Aaron Sorkin's disdain for the Internet and Internet culture is being laid on a bit thick, but I also understand his hatred of sites like Gawker Media. He's done a better job conveying his political views in a narrative this season than the first season. I think the show has done a good job giving us a discussion of what journalism, journalism activism and ethics. These are things we are discussing right now in the media, clearly he foreseen much of this. This has been a good season overall. This is also the last season. -Sam Waterston played his scenes extremely well: If you go back and notice, Waterston's character looks tired and worn down in every scene. However, Charlie Skinner was on edge the entire episode. -Char...

Robert Orci off Star Trek III as Director  Kirk:  "I sense a great disturbance in the force.  It is like a great evil thing has just been dismissed." From Huffington Post , (( Orci will no longer be directing the upcoming third installment in Paramount's "Star Trek" series, according to Deadline, but he will be staying on as a producer. Orci's reps confirmed to HuffPost Entertainment that he's not directing, while Paramount had no comment. )) I didn't hate Orci like the other Trek fanboys and I didn't really hate him when he had that Kevin Smith-like rant against his detractors . However, knowing that he is off the gig of being director of the next Trek film is okay in my book. I thought it was extremely poor judgment on Paramount's part to even hire an untested director on their still growing franchise. I'm sorry, but you can't follow JJ with an untested director. Okay, it worked sort of with Nicholas Meyer, but...
