Ventrilo Harassment: Young People are annoying
Hey, Daralon
I don't understand why the second kid did just mute him. Btw, Everquest II does suck.
What is up with the racist remark?

Leslie Nielsen passed away at 84
I still laugh at the Naked Gun series of movies. And, the movies have aged fairly well. Nielsen started out as a serious actor. From the 50s to the mid-70s, he played mostly serious roles in features. It was Airplane that boosted his popularity and that was when he made the decision to “flip the script” and turn into a comedic actor. Most people from my generation and younger mostly remember him from his comedic roles.
Everyone knows about his Naked Gun movies.
Nielsen will be missed.

Irvin Kershner RIP (April 29, 1923 – November 27, 2010)
Irvin Kershner (Director of Empire Strikes Back) died at 87
From CNN, ((Filmmaker Irvin Kershner, who directed the 1980 Star Wars sequel "The Empire Strikes Back," died Saturday in his home in Los Angeles, California, after a three-and-a-half-year battle with lung cancer. He was 87. ))
The sci-fi community lost one of its great directors on Saturday. George Lucas entrusted his franchise into the hands of this guy way back in the 80s with Empire Strikes Back. And, most non-super fans have no idea Lucas DID NOT direct the second the third films in the first trilogy.
Kershner with the late Leigh Brackett and the still living Lawrence Kasdan were the ones responsible for the added maturity in Empire Strikes Back. Where as Lucas wanted to just keep the series in its old serial roots with campy-ness, Kershner turned the series into a character/action movie with real problems. Many SW fans still consider Empire to be the best out of all the SW films.
George Lucas had this to say about the guy.
From NY Daily News, (("The world has lost a great director and one of the most genuine people I've had the pleasure of knowing," Lucas said in a statement. "Irvin Kershner was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. ))
Never Say Never Again: This non-continuity James Bond film is kind of looked down upon. But, it is interesting that they went a totally different route for Mr. Bond.
RoboCop 2: I think fans of the first movie often frown upon this movie, but I think he gets a bad rap. And, Frank Miller’s original script is that much better.
Kershner, you will be missed.
Edge of Darkness
Edge of Darkness
We get to see Mel Gibson run around behaving badly, punching people and yelling in this movie…just like in real life. Except, in this movie he has a reason to act like an asshole, because someone brutally murdered his daughter right in front of him. His character, a police detective, goes after the answers behind his daughter’s murder. And, we don’t have to hear minutes of him breathing heavily on the phone.
Edge of Darkness is a brutally violent and dark film that will make you uncomfortable with of the death scenes. EOD is a remake of a British miniseries from the 80s. Martin Campbell directed both the miniseries and the American remake. Campbell’s directing is sharp and his editing is fairly quick for a conspiracy driven movie.
Spoiler: It should be noted that many of the people that reveal secrets to Gibson’s character end up in bad places. One person has something really awful happen to them other than death. No one comes out unscathed and I mean no one.
Mel Gibson is in top form here as a distraught father that just witnessed his daughter shot-gunned down right in front of him. Yet, there is a warmth sensibility to his character whenever we see him talking to his daughter at the beginning or another other young person. It is real shame the real Mel Gibson isn’t more like some of the early attributes we see in the movie.
I also enjoyed the score by Howard Shore, which is interesting because he had to write a replacement score after re-shoots, because the producers dropped the original composer.
If I had one negative thing to say about the movie is that it tries to be a little too preachy with some of its moral messages. You’ll start to say, “We get it; big companies are evil.” But, the message doesn’t hit you over the head. And, these people are truly bad people.
Edge of Darkness is a dark and gritty drama that has some good moments throughout with a compelling Gibson performance. There are a few minor problems with the script, but don’t let that stop you from watching the movie.
Grade: B+

Four Loko: Way too extreme!
Four Loko: Way too extreme!
The alcohol energy drink Four Loko is often discussed in the news as a menace to society. People in the media are acting like this whole energy drink alcohol mixture is a new thing. People have been mixing Red Bull with alcohol for years.
I guess this Four Loko is more like suicide in a can, which is fine for me because I don’t drink alcohol. Perhaps, people desire death in a can.
There seems to be a running count of the states that have or are going to ban the drink with a map here. While I don’t think the drink is good for you, I don’t believe it is right for the government to bring the ban hammer down on the damn thing. Some people aren’t capable of handling such an “extreme” drink, and should know that. Now, the makers of this Extreme drink will remove the caffeine portion from their formula. So, will it be called Three Loko?
I personally don’t know why anyone would want to stay up after getting shit-faced drunk anyway. Do you really want to remember spending the night with that drunken emo-chick at the party? Part of the charm or curse of alcohol is that it makes you fall asleep and forget. Four Loko would make you remember every sloppy moment of that event. Enjoy…
I would make a sexual comment right here, but I won't. The picture speaks for itself.

Mark Wahlberg is Nathan Drake (And the other shoe dropped)
This is your hero for Uncharted the movie, enjoy.
___________________________________________
Uncharted movie receives it main star…Marky Mark Wahlberg…
From MSNBC, ((The actor and star of movies like "The Departed," "Boogie Nights" and "Date Night" confirmed to MTV Multiplayer that he will be starring in a forthcoming movie based on the "Uncharted" games for the PS3. He will play Drake, the swashbuckling treasure hunter from both "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" and "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves." ))
Any hope of this movie based on the popular videogame series just went out the window with the clock and the baby with the bathwater. Attaching the former underwear model/rapper to this upcoming movie will certainly help doom the project, simply because Mark (good vibrations) Wahlberg has a problem with acting.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune will be the name of the 2013 movie, but it should be renamed Max Payne II: Going Uncharted. Did anyone in the production see Max Payne or The Happening? When he’s not ruining Hip-hop songs, he’s turning okay movies into crap movies.
A lot of people, myself included, wanted the character of Nathan Drake to be played by Nathan Fillion. There was strong support for Fillion to play the role because he is a dead giveaway for the wisecracking adventurer. And, I just don't know why they would pick Marky-Mark instead.
No word if Marky’s Funky-Bunch will make an appearance.
From those that don’t know, this is how the game looks.
Black Friday: Stampede at Target Store (this is the Christmas Spirit?)
Black Friday: Stampede at Target Store (this is the Christmas Spirit?)
Black Friday is dumb, and this is why. I know parents want to get that popular toy that children want and will discard in 4 months, but is waiting outside for five hours in a cold parking lot really worth it? How about the sheer insane violence that happens once the doors open, is that worth it?
You have to love the people that still make a dash for the “savings” after they clear the doors of the injured. You will never see me stand in line for anything related to Black Friday or any of those videogame releases. We as a society have all become obsessed fanboys. People call in sick to work to buy and play the latest Medal of Honor game or the next installment of the Call of Duty series first. People push and shove people aside so they can separate the hard earn money from their hands on something they really don’t need. This type of behavior was only seen in the geek subculture. Now, everyone behaves in such a manner, and it sickens me.
Part of the blame has to go to the department stores creating this buzz and event into what it is today. “If you don’t campout for Black Friday, you’re a loser. And, you sink.” The other side of it are the people that feel compelled to “get there first” at all cost. They should consider not falling for the Black Friday trap, and simply wait a few days.
So, what about some of the injured?
From CNN, ((Keith Krantz told WIVB that he was pinned against a metal door support and was shoved to the ground. Shoppers went over him until staff pulled him to safety. "At that moment I was thinking I don't want to die here on the ground," he said. ))
Yeah, I would want that to be my last view of the world, people stepping on me and over me to get to the flat-screen HD TVs and Nintendo Wii systems. People can't say I was doing what I loved as I got crushed.
Enjoy that Wii or TV while staying in the hospital.
Could have used a V8?
Note: This was one of the guys that ended up at the bottom of the human cornucopia. He also got right back up and went on shopping. (WTF?)
It’s Complicated
It’s Complicated
Well, yeah it is kind of complicated. This rom-com is basically an older version of all those teenage comedies about romance and awkward situations. It is neither bad nor that great, but is certainly better than many of the other bland romantic comedies that plagued the box office this year.
The movie is about two divorced people that were formerly married having an affair behind their loved ones and family members’ backs. All heck breaks loose when they try to cover it up.
Meryl Streep is actually very good as the woman who falls back into the arms of a remarried Alec Baldwin. Baldwin’s character is remarried to a young woman with a child. Baldwin actually is a step away from the characters he’s been playing for the last seven years, so that is kind of refreshing. However, there is one thing I could have lived without...
Seeing Baldwin nude and shirtless throughout the entire movie. We get numerous shots of Baldwin shirtless or nude throughout the movie that it makes me kind of sick. Look, I’m not a good-looking guy, so you won’t see me walking around shirtless unless I have to. We also get a shot of Baldwin's bare ass for good measure. I just think the joke of Baldwin being out of shape just wears a bit too thin.
Another joke that wears itself out is the whole joke about Streep getting high off of weed. Steve Martin gets high as well. The joke just runs too long for its own good. Old people like weed, and we get it.
Writer/Director Nancy Meyers doesn’t really do that much to make the movie stand out from the rest of the Rom-Com movies, but she does know how to make Meryl Streep look breathtaking. Streep hasn’t looked this pretty in years.
There are times when the movie does lose its way and aimless jumps from one scene to another without much story progression. And, that might turn some people off. The movie becomes boring toward the last 20 minutes.
The movie is lighthearted and not really deep or meaningful, and it doesn’t want to be. I’m fine with that because I am a popcorn movie kind of guy, but I just wish the movie tried to be bit more funny and focused. The movie merely comes across as a missed opportunity to for a better movie.
Grade: C-
Meryl: “Did we really need to watch The Shadow five times?”

~Date a Bank Teller? There is a rather cute female bank teller at one of the local banks I go to every Friday. I always talk to her and thought about asking her out. (Without the Boyfriend Card being played from the bottom of the deck), however there is a problem with that notion. She knows exactly how much money I have in my bank account. That is a dangerous thing. I talked to her today for a while and that popped in my head.
~Grand Theft Booty Workout: Wow this woman has an amazing body and she is cute too. This could be my future wife. Her name is Charlie James. Keep in mind that Miss James is not the same woman that you will find in the Google Searches. That woman is a pornstar, this Charlie James is not.
~Willie Nelson has been caught with 6 ounces of marijuana by the US Border Patrol. Nelson has probably smoked more weed than most people in the most of the US combined. At this point, Nelson should be grandfathered into the law. (Everyone can be arrested for pot except for Willie Nelson). Why are we even wasting time with these foolish marijuana arrests when there is a major drug war going on near the Mexican border?
~Watching the Larry the Cable Guy Roast: Holy crap, this is probably the funniest thing he's ever been in. I am not a fan of this guy, but everybody making fun of him is funny. I still hate Larry the Cable Guy.

DuckTales Theme!
DuckTales Theme!
This is full version of the song. Most people had no idea the song ran over 3 minutes long. Mark Mueller wrote the theme song and Jeff Pescetto actually sung the song. Here's an interview with Pescetto talking about exactly how he got the gig for singing the popular theme song.
They start talking about Ducktales at the 6:16 mark.

Congo movie score (Spirit of Africa) and Ghost and the Darknes
Congo movie score (Spirit of Africa)
Jerry Goldsmith was known for scoring music to awful movies and actually elevating the stupid movie to another level. This is favorite track from the Congo score. It brings back some of the Africa themes that Goldsmith introduced throughout the film.
By the way, the Africa voice you hear in song doing the call and response is Lebo M. He was famous for helping Han Zimmer in writing the Lion King score and Tears of the Sun. Lebo M has an interesting voice that adds to the richness of the song.
Ghost and the Darkness came out around the same time and Goldsmith did the score to that African themed movie as well. It has a similar sound to Congo. However, I like both scores.
Listen to the 2:50 mark to find the similarities.

Sarah Palin strikes back at Barbara Bush
I'm usually not a political blogger, but this story caught my attention.
Yes, Palin thought it was necessary to strike back at a little snipping comment that Barbara Bush made about her. Barbara kind of hopes Palin would stay in Alaska. So, Palin decided to mildly attack the former First Lady. Instead of letting it go and ignoring it, Palin goes after an 85 year old woman. That sounds honorable.
I've always liked Barbara because she's been outspoken about issues and usually makes slightly unpolitical statements. It would be interesting to find out why Barbara doesn't like Palin.
So, what was Palin's comeback to Barbara's insult?
From Politics Daily, (("I don't think the majority of Americans want to put up with the blue-bloods," Palin -- who is considering a run for president in 2012 – said. "With all due respect, because I love the Bushes, the blue-bloods who want to pick and choose their winners instead of allowing competition." ))
Palin is trying to form a wedge between the old school Republicans and the new school Tea Party guys. I just don't think she should represent that group. Truth be told, Barbara Bush or George Bush haven't been relevant since they left office. Why waste time even bothering to forming a counterattack? It almost seems as petty as that time she marked out a McCain hat and then made sure people knew about it.
I just hope someone else wins the nomination. I'd love to see some of these more seasoned Republicans rip her apart.
End of Line...
Side note, make sure to check out these amazing parody pictures from Zina Saunders' web site for more great pictures. I really love the way she draws Palin. She's has some wonderful drawing skills.
Yes, Zina actually made Palin Bazooka from GI Joe. She made Palin look just like the character from toy package drawing.

My favorite hate comments...Part One
My favorite hate comments...Part One
While I don't get a lot of comments on my blog, I do receive a lot readers from Google, mostly from people looking for naked pictures and looking for Sarah Palin quotes. But, what I do lack in number of comments, I get back ten fold in just hate comments from people that dislike what I have to say on a subject or person. I always find it amusing that people are willing to take time to leave comments on a blog that isn't that good or well written to begin with. Every time I receive one of these comments, I get a huge kick out them.
Here are a few of my favorite ones below.
1. Comment by AndrAIaSprite : ((I'm disgusted by self-appointed critics like you, who think only the Hollywood machine can make a satisfying movie. The Squeakquel, like everything featuring the Chipmunks, is powered by the Bagdasarian family's love for their late patriarch (played by Jason Lee in these most recent movies). If you prefer corporate marketing-driven films like Disney's crass attempt to expand its Princess brand, well then I guess that's your taste -- but I don't have to swallow it.))
First, I wrote a post complaining about sheer suckage of the Alvin and Chipmunks “Squeakquel”. I rather like having the title of “self-appointed critic” that she bestowed upon me in her hate filled rant. I also like that she gave me a lecture about the deep meaning of three damn pop music sing chipmunks. It should be noted that she came looking for Chipmunk comments through the Google search.
2. Comment by Anonymous: ((Semag - semaj whatever that is for a name(foreigner). If u didn't like it go home. ))
This one came about when I wrote a rather mean review on the Love Guru. I tracked where the comment came from and it originated from LA California. I'm really under the impression that it was actually Mike Myers that left the comment above, because he's very sensitive to criticism. That is one of the reason he disappeared from live action movies for a few years because of the sharp criticism he received on Cat in the Hat. But, would a Canadian comedian call me a “foreigner” and tell me to go home? Now, granted he probably thought I was Middle Eastern because of the screen name. I still hold firm that the comment from left by Mike Myers. Who else would defend The Love Guru so much? MC thinks it was probably someone else that worked on the movie.
3. Two comments by Anons: ((I don't know where you got your information about becca, but you are incorrect about so much of the story. I was her roommate and if you don't knwo what your talking about, you really should have a blog about it. This story doesn't need to be in the news, this story needs to go away. she is a wonderful girl and doesn;t deserve any of this! ))
Anyone that's read my blog for a long time knows about my run-ins with a certain Cheerleader post. It is the post that pretty much put me on the map as far as Google searches go and I discovered just how popular Digg was back in the day. Now, the comment above was from one of her friends and she took displeasure to my bashing of the young lady for taking off her clothes and having sex, while taking pictures of it. I'm the one that receives the blame for it.
This one below is even better.
((Jeez... Not one scrap of tangible fact. Not one reliable or known news source covered this "story." This is an urban legend...aka complete bunkum. ))
This one is even better because he thinks the whole thing was made up. It wasn’t
Anyway, I’ll have a second post about some other hate comments that I found amusing.
Madonna: My Grand Diva!
I remember the first time I heard her voice. It was in the middle of a karate class when I was seven years old. Out of the radio speakers sprang a vibrant, exuberant voice full of life singing over a gentle piano melody. I was transfixed. Sure at the time I was knee-deep into my Whitney phase (I was living for The Bodyguard soundtrack my mama played constantly at the time) but this was different. I didn't know the song's name was "Borderline" or that its singer was a white chick from Michigan named Madonna, but I knew I liked it.
I heard her again late at night, but this time it was a ballad. I can still remember the first time I heard the chorus. It was like being wrapped in silk. "I've always been in love with you/I guess you've always known it's true," she sang, her voice surrounded by romantic strings. As a little black boy growing up in a small southern town, Madonna wasn't on my radar. My musical world consisted mostly of the aforementioned Nippy or Anita Baker, and the old Al Green, Earth, Wind and Fire and Stevie Wonder records my dad would play in the evening.Occasionally the classical music I learned in music lessons made its way onto my sonic palette. Gospel music was another dominating sound, along with the occasional dose of homophobia served up in church. The closet was calling. It would be a few years before I heard her again.
"You're frozen/When you're hearts not open," her voice rang out over the school bus speakers. This was supposed to be the new Madonna, the serene New Age thinker who preached spiritual enlightenment and reflective introspection instead of sexual exhibitionism and eroticism. And I didn't like her. At 12 years old I loved Aaliyah, The Spice Girls, Mariah Carey, Usher and TLC. I wanted to dance along to "Are You That Somebody," not think about the state of my soul. I wasn't ready to go there yet.
Junior high came and with it the beginnings of adolescent alienation. My older brother and all my friends were all about No Limit, UGK, Jay-Z, Cash Money and screwed/chopped up rap that was pouring out of Texas. I bought a few rap albums like the Chronic 2001, 400 Degreez and Ghetto D, but for the most part I was feigning interest, nodding my head to keep from arising even more suspicion that had been peaked with my previous musical choices (did I mention I danced to Janet's "I Get Lonely" too?). The music was cool to dance to, but I didn't feel it. Something was missing.
"Haven't we met/You're some kind of beautiful stranger," she sang to me as she gyrated across the screen. Now this was the voice I heard on "Borderline." Full of cool energy with just a hint of smart-ass wit. Something about "Beautiful Stranger," captured me in a way "Back That Ass Up" Or "Forgot About Dre" never did. I had to know more about her.
Luckily older fans had created websites full of old interviews, photoshoots and videos for me to discover (even though this was still during the dark ages of dial-up). I devoured everything Madonna. Looking back I think was unconsciously drawn to her take-it-or-leave attitude, her brashness, her support of sexual liberation and the way she challenged gender stereotypes.
Even though at 13 years old I was nowhere near ready to say the words "I'm gay" something about Madonna's world--full of theatrics, catchy pop hooks and fun--felt safe. Listening to The Immaculate Collection and Like A Prayer provided a daily antidote to the awkwardness and isolation I felt at school and home as my difference became more pronounced. Dancing to "Music," "Vogue," or "Into The Groove" and watching the "Express Yourself" video went beyond simple fandom. It felt I was learning something important, character traits I would need to survive.As I entered high school and enveloped myself in a cocoon of self-loathing and depression, she continued to be my guide. My musical tastes expanded to thrash, goth and heavy metal. Harsh, dark music that acted as a shield against the hell of high school. But Madonna was still there, the Erotica and Bedtime Stories albums reflecting a deeper maturity that spoke to my vulnerable emotional state. Of course you know the rest. I woke up from the haze, came out and left my delusions of becoming straight behind. Other artists may have tried to take her place--Marilyn Manson, Metallica Green Day, Kanye, Alicia Keys, Mary J--but have never succeeded.
Sorry Whitney. I'll holla Mariah and Beyonce. Love ya' Janet and Aaliyah. But Madonna is my Grand Diva. I admit it. I'm a complete Madge stan. I believe in 100 years her work will be studied by cultural scholars and historians. I feel a sense of total liberation and joy when I listen to her music. It's almost spiritual. "Vogue," "Holiday," "Rescue Me," "Ray Of Light" "Deeper and Deeper," "Hung Up"--the songs not only make me want to get up and dance and always put me in a good mood. Meanwhile the ballads--"Oh Father, "Live To Tell," "I'll Remember," "Bad Girl," Inside Of Me" "Love Tried To Welcome Me," "Drowned World"--make me think deeply about my relationships, my family and life in general.
Her live shows, often full of multiple meanings, extravagant staging, glamorous costumes and irreverent antics, leave me breathless. Her photo shoots can be fun and flirty or dark and provocative, depending or whatever mood this clever chameleon is in.Madonna inspires me with her work ethic and her inner strength to overcome tragedy and adversity in her life. I love her constant artistic growth, how she can pull inspiration from virtually anywhere and present it to her audience in an alluring, engaging way. She is my favorite female artist, if not my favorite artist period. In short, I love that bitch!
So who's your Grand Diva? Tell me in the comments:).

Axl Rose sues Activision over Guitar Hero.
From Reuters, ((The Guns N' Roses frontman has just filed a $20 million lawsuit against "Guitar Hero" maker Activision claiming its use of the GNR song "Welcome to the Jungle" violated a deal not to include any imagery of ex-guitarist Saul Hudson (aka Slash) in the popular game. ))
First off, Axl doesn't deserve 20 million for anything these days since he's been milking off the Guns and Roses' (GNR) lifeforce for ages now. Second, what is this deep hate for former band-mate Slash? I know that the entire band helped create what GNR was back then. Does Axl want to rewrite history?
From Reuters, ((In an amusing lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, Rose and his Black Frog Music claim Activision Blizzard fraudulently induced Rose into authorizing "Jungle" for use in "Guitar Hero III" by telling him during negotiations that it wouldn't feature any reference to the former GNR member or his subsequent band Velvet Revolver.
" began spinning a web of lies and deception to conceal its true intentions to not only feature Slash and VR prominently in 'GH III,' but also promote the game by emphasizing and reinforcing an association between Slash and Guns N Roses and the band's song 'Welcome to the Jungle,'" the complaint states.))
Axl, I hate to break this to you but no one cares about the current members of Guns and Roses. People want to see the old band playing “Welcome to the Jungle” on GH3, not a washed up band leader with imposters playing the music that made the band great years ago. Axl, it is time to get over yourself.
Oh, and then it gets better. Axl hated that Velvet Revolver songs are being featured in the game too. I don't understand why Axl feels threatened by the former members his band. It's been a long time since the original members of GNR broke away from Axl, so it's time to get over it.
I think at this point, Axl knows that he's not going to make much money from his new GNR group, so he's going to sue Activision for 20 million to cash in.
Let me be the first to say, "F' you, Axl."
Bill Gates, you're lame. Please stop.

“4 Strength 4 Stam Leather Belt”
“4 Strength 4 Stam Leather Belt”
This is probably one of my favorite Ventrillo Harassment video. The amount of nerd rage and pure strangeness of the sound effects coming for this kid was enough to make me laugh. Why would someone get so excited over a 4 Strength 4 Stam forest leather belt…level 18? Then I looked at the full stats of the belt and it is pretty sweet. I wished they had these in real life.
Anyway, the clip from above got so famous that there is a Know Your Meme page of the 4 Str 4 Stam belt guy. The WOW player is called Joe and the best part is when he gets upset with the constant harassment. I have to wonder how Joe feels about his Internet fame?
There have been parodies and remixes from the video source.
