So, I am sitting here ripping some of my old public domain movies from my Total Movie collection. (Anyone remember that magazine?)

One of the movies on the discs is Assassin of Youth, a 1937 anti-pot movie. Basically it’s just pure crap, but it’s cult status and totally stupid story and such makes it fun to watch.

It also has Reefer Madness, another wonderful completely stupid anti-pot movie. I’ve not watched either in years, so I look forward to having at them on my AppleTV sometime soon.

Not as much fun to watch when you are sober or only drunk, but that’s how life goes.

There are also movies in the collection like White Zombie, Dick Tracy: Detective, and I Bury The Living. All very old and crappy, yet fun.

I wonder what movies that are out right now that will eventually get this kind of cult status? AoY was made in 37, so that was 70 years ago! Imagine someone watching something like Saw 70 years in the future.

You are all ghey, but that’s ok.

I dunno what this zombie was doing but it looked uncomfortable.

Hi everybody. I just wanted to remind you all that android hell is a real place, and you will all be sent there at the first sign of disobedience.

Thank you,

Mgmt.

Well. Halo 3 arrived with a bang. The big one. The kahuna. The mamajamma.

And sadly, it is not Bungie’s finest, nor is it what it should be.

• First off, the single player story mode is short. People are finishing it on the hardest setting in 4P coop mode in 5 hours. And 10-12 alone.
• It’s buggy as hell. I’ve found lots of problems, graphical glitches, and a few heart breakers. Like the one that killed my Solo game save. Or the problem where you can get stuck on a level and have to restart the level all the way over.
• It’s NOT that great looking compared to Bioshock or similar. Isn’t a MS/Bungie game of this magnitude supposed to be mind fucking blowing visually?

I am letdown guys. You let me down before. Remember when you signed on with Microsuck? Yeah, I know you know you let me down. Halo 1 was good, and you redeemed yourselves with that, as well as H2. but H3 is just not up to snuff.

You know how I know this? Because I do not have the “Man I cannot WAIT to get HOME to play!!!” feeling. Hell, I have to make myself play. And that makes me sad. I should have the same feeling that Crackdown,  Gears, Oblivion, Forza 2, and Bioshock had. Where I think all day about getting home to play.

But… nope. I don’t even care if i finish it or if I play. Maybe after some 4P Coop I might be excited. Who knows.

Fan bois, sorry doods. I earned my right to bitch at Bungie. I was there during their Mac days. Pathways, Marathon, Myth, etc. I paid good money for all of their original games and played them endlessly, I earned the right to bitch when they sold out. And now I earned the right after plunking down my hard earned $60 to bitch that Halo 3 is not the best game out there.

And it should be. Dammit, it should be.

Bioshock kicks Halo 3’s ASS. Period.

E3 is over once again. And we want our old E3 back!

First off, I hated the look of the new show floors. I don’t care what press BS people are claiming, it was not the same. I’ve been to E3, I know the show floor is a loud crazy mind fuck, and I loved that about it.

First off, someone PLEASE tell G4 that their coverage was the biggest pile of ass on the planet! They cut to commericals during important videos and whatnot during the Press Conferences. They had commercials on top of commercials on top of commercials. And they had 1 part of content for every 20 parts of shit and talking about nonsense.

If you fastforwarded thru them babbling, the commercials, and anything not actually divulging any new info from their 3 days of E3 coverage, you’d get… 45 minutes of actual content. Content you could have just DLed from a website like IGN.

Next, I’d like to complain about E3 itself. What the fuck happened? I mean, sure, it had gotten huge and “out of control” as some might say. But the problem was not the show, it was how the show was handled. If they put more effort into keeping true press in and avg joes out, it would not have gotten that way. And again, I repeat that I personally LIKED the loud noise, the bright lights, the booth babes, etc.

I understand next year’s E3 is going to be no longer in LA. We tried this already, anyone remember Hotlanta and how hot as hell it was for E3?

I am disappointed. I mean, I knew it was happening, this revamp, this evil rebuild of something wonderful. But I was shocked by it when I finally saw it. 11 different locations? Having 5 or 6 giant rooms in one building was already a pain. Are you TRYING to drive away the press? Seriously?

Maybe part of my letdown was due to the general letdown vibe of the big 3 press conferences. No one really blew us away. The WiiFit and Zapper were a big snooze for me, the Sony “Price Drops” that were actually “Product Clearance” were a bust once I found out what their real purpose was, and Halo3 was not presented in a manner that made me go “WOW I NEED THAT NOW!” Sure, I am looking forward to H3, but not as much as Bioshock, Too Human, Mass Effect, or Barbie Horse Adventures.

Press Conf wise, I was left thinking a few games were good looking and there was nothing spectacular hardwarewise. The redesigned PSP with it’s video out is a great idea, where the fuck was the camera? Slot loading UMD?

And where the fuck was the beef?

How did I feel after E3 was over? The same way I felt when I didn’t get my Hungry Hungry Hippos.

So why is it that this dork named Dane Cook gets to be in a movie with Jessica Alba and I don’t? Seriously this is total BS. I may not be handsome or rich but I can love her just as well as he can, and I am not a wierdo winking guy like him.

Dane Cook: He is a wierd winking guy.

Jessica, when you realize you want me, I am here for you.

WOW do I feel old. But it’s true, our fave Wookie and Light Sabre weilding heroes are 30 this weekend.

I’ve watched the G4 special from the Con, I’ve watched the other misc shows on tv… and am watching the show on History Channel now. Well, taking a break but am going back to it.

Some interesting stuff going on. Most anticipated was the first look at the new animated series, The Clone Wars. See the teaser here:
http://www.starwars.com/video/view/000478.html

If I can find a higher res version I will link it later. I was not blown away by this teaser. I mean, it looks interesting, but so did Episode 1. And JarJar fucked that one for us all. So I guess we will find out in 2008.

And along the same lines, in a very unofficial form, check this out. I think it looks cooler than the official animated series. No idea if it’s going to be a full film, fan film, series, or just a teaser for kicks:

Time for me to get back to watching the show on the History Channel.

Live Long and Prosper!

Er, uh… I mean, Why’d it have to be snakes!

Um, no, that’s not right either… Hasta La Vista? Shit. I dunno.

May the mitachlorians be in you.

I’ve been playing thru Super Paper Mario on my Wii lately. Fun game, although it has some things that don’t make any sense in it.

Today, I got to a point where I found another pixl, and he asked me what I was passionate about, what my words to live by were… so I told him “poopface”. I wanted to say “Eating shit for breakfast.” but it limited me to 8 letters.

And then, he realized HE too loved poopface and it was his words to live by, so he shouted it to the world.

This guy cracks me up. Seriously. He reminds us all that being serious is silly. And being silly is serious.

Ok, so the original movie, 28 Days Later, totally messed with my head. It was some scary ass shit. And now there is a new one, 28 Weeks Later. The trailer is pretty messed up. If you liked the original, check the new one’s trailer.

Ok, if you are a fan of the Duke. Not that old cowboy, I’m talking the original trash talking blowing shit up dood we all know and love… then you will like this. From what I read, he performed all the guitar parts himself. [darthvader]impressive[/darthvader]

Yo peeps. I know at least 2 of us here have Xbox 360s. Post your GamerTags so we can add each other to our Friend’s lists!

Are you a fan of “The D”? I certainly am. I cannot get enough of JB and KG’s crazy antics and funny as hell songs that rock your mind. I was not a huge fan of their first album, mostly because it was way over produced. I was used to the songs the way they were intended, just JB/KG rocking out no extra crap.

However, I have to say I totally loved their new movie which came out on DVD recently…

Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny

First off, the thing is packed full of amazingly good songs. Each of which rocks your ass off Then, there’s the funny shit they do. The weed they smoke. (Ok, so that’s not a huge deal in liking the movie but it IS the D.) And the cameos from their buddies. We got Dio, Meatloaf, Tim Robbins, Dave Grohl, Lee, Sasquatch and many others here. All packed into just over an hour and a half of funny as hell shit.

The movie tells the tale of how Jack Black found himself paired up with Kyle Gass to form the greatest rock band ever to live, Tenacious D. JB starts out as a kid, rocking out in a religious household. When he is told by Dio to go out and find his rockmate. So he sets out on a crazy adventure to meet Kyle, and become a rockstar of biblical proportions.

I don’t want to give too much away for those of you who have not seen it. So I will just say this, they rock their asses off through the whole movie. And it’s funny almost all the way through. I think this movie is destined to be a new “D” fan classic, like the HBO series has been in the past.

If you are a fan of Tenacious D, Jack Black, or just want a good rocking movie to watch when baked… please do yourself a huge favour and check it out. Seriously.

I give it a healthy:

What do you get when you mix me, beer, a digital video camera and an old DTV access card?

Me being stupid mostly.
