  1. Marvel to "Old Man Logan" fans: Go fuck yerselves and watch the movie a 2nd time. Your arc ain't gonna be done anytime soon! Apparently this is old news, but I just found it out when I saw issue #73 on stands and online but could find no trace of issue #72 (the penultimate issue of the "Old Man Logan" arc). Issue #72 already 2 months behind schedule is put off another month...at least. Marvel puts out issue #73 instead. Wha, wha, what!?!?
  2. ^^^ Yes, as a rule LOST is usually a far superior show.
  3. To: "Darlton" Re: Season 5 Finale Fuck you in your stinky arseholes with a fist full of superglue and razor blades. SIncerely, Mr. Hakujin
  4. What if Liam Neeson trained Christian Bale as a Jedi instead of a ninja? The results are kinda cool and pretty funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w4Q_y47w78
  5. Welcome to the greatest drama ever! Heh, and definitely avoid the spoilers in here. If memory serves McNulty seems to get less airtime in S3 &S4, but both of those characters get great stories in S5.
  6. ^^ I wonder if the idea came after he grew the beard or vice versa?
  7. X-Men Origins: Wolverine B- Really this film is a “C,” “C+” at best, but there were just enough fanboy friendly moments that made me geek out enough to overlook the film’s horrible shortcomings. It was a disappointing film for several reasons, mostly because it broke the cardinal rule of superhero films: have a villain that’s just as interesting as the hero. Sabertooth was never shown to be the truly evil monster that he is (there was a surprising lack of violence in this film). Wolverine himself is never shown being a true badass either—Logan had more exciting action scenes in X2 than he did in his own movie! Also the third act of the film is fairly anticlimactic and rather than the ultimate Wolverine vs. Sabertooth battle fans have been waiting for, we get Victor & Jimmy battling a totally new character, which while this guy has some cool powers the battle with him lacks any emotional weight at all. The film was not without its highlights though. The all too brief encounter with Gambit was (aside from some ridiculous wire-fu moments) perfect. The origin of the “Blob’s” name was a surprisingly good scene, Sabertooth vs. Wraith and Wade/Deadpool vs. a room full of bad guys with guns was also pretty spectacular. Fans of the comics and X-films also get a few more cool little moments sprinkled out through the film that I won’t spoil here. The bottom line is this film definitely has flashes of brilliance that are too short and too brief to keep Wolverine from being the weakest and most disappointing addition yet to the X-Men film franchise. Paul Blart: Mall Cop C- This film made Observe & Report look like comedy genius. The nonsensical plot (guys on skateboards and BMX bikes take over a mall) seems aimed at the 10-18 crowd who are meant marvel at the cool yet totally ridiculous stunts and to laugh at the different ways Kevin James can make fun of the fact he’s obese. Plus there’s an over abundance of bad late 70s/early 80s rock songs. File this one under: Avoid & Evade. The Children’s Hour B+ This 1961 film based on a play by Lillian Hellman stars Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacClaine as two young women who run a small all girl’s boarding school. Their lives are torn apart when a young girl (played with wicked perfection by a young actress named Karen Balkin) spreads a rumor about them being lesbians. This engaging & tight paced drama doesn’t so much focus on lesbianism as it does the crushing power of gossip and lies. This Oscar nominated film just misses that mark of “cinema classic” due to several reasons including some predictable turns for Maclaine’s character and one inexplicable “What the hell did she do that for!!?!??” scene with Hepburn’s character and co-star James Garner.
  8. I was talking about Prelude. I listened through the whole album once last night and dug it. I was surfing the Net as well, so the lyrics didn't really sink in all they way. I've only heard their previous 2 albums and liked them both. Infanta is one of my favorite songs of theirs. The 2nd vid was awesome! I like that song and the video was genius--like a 5 minute Rushmore. The 1st vid you linked is gone though--pesky Viacom and their copyright claims.
  9. Anyone else freak over last night's episode [s5Ep13 "The Variable"]? Dan's mom is an eff'n cunt!
  10. Hmm, never was much one for concept albums, but I like The Decemberists well enough, so I guess I'll have to DL this one and give it a listen when I find the time. Although the 1st track did nothing for me...
  11. Divison of Joy = for those xoxo leah pics
  12. Why is it the guys w/ the smallest schlongs always behave like the biggest dicks?
  13. Damnit son I ain't got time for searchin' no links all up on previous pages n shits. New review=new link, ya lazy fuh.
  14. No link? Fuckitall, man but you've gotten lax.
  15. ^^^ I loved that! I'm off to find some more of their music now! OK, your happy pants over FLOGGING MOLLY (one of the greatest bands in the history of ever) wash away any musical inequities you inflicted upon me w/ that previous clip.
  16. In Theaters: Observe and Report C+ Writer/director Jody Hill seems to be able to write one character fairly well: the delusional, socially inappropriate, male misfit. He did it for a judo instructor in his debut film Foot Fist Way, for a washed up MLB pitcher in the HBO series East Bound & Down, and now as the bizarro-Paul Blart in this new film starring Seth Rogen. As someone who’s enjoyed Hill’s previous work I was disappointed with this film and its reliance on formulaic film contrivances (lame montages, trite one dimensional love interests), and the strip mining of his previous work for this film, which left me with a “been there, seen that” feeling. ON DVD: Downfall A This is a gripping and unflinching look into the last days and hours of the Third Reich based on several books—including one by Hitler’s personal secretary, Traudl Junge, who stayed with him in the bunker in Berlin up until the Russian overthrow of the city. The film focuses on Hitler and his followers as real people who had real beliefs and ideals. It doesn’t attempt to excuse the actions of these Nazis, but it does do an excellent job of helping explain some of their motives. The direction and performances were stunning and only lend to the film’s hauntingly authentic tone. This film is a must have for any WWII film buff’s library.
  17. Seriously? You're not fuckin' with me here? Nothing appealing in the least bit about that performance for me.
  18. Quite possibly the greatest youtube video of all time. Ever. In time.
  19. ^^ Yeah, okay, get fuckin' technical on me why dontcha. Sure you can do that w/ a phone, but you can also set that bitch to vibrate and duct tape it to a nun's nib until she cums, but that ain't what it was meant for, now is it?
  20. um, yeah, but it like totally can be updated form your phone and junk. duh. seriously though, twitter is a bottomless whole of suck.
  21. I know, dude! Then he starts crawling to the car as the bombed out zombies persue him. And BAM! out steps Locke and puts a Bowie knife through zombie Ben's head a split second before he can begin chewing on Carl's bloody stumps. Priceless!
  22. That's where I get all mine. You can find single issue torrents, but they're usually listed in "group" torrents like a DCP release or something. I think it's up to issue 28 or 29 now. And wait until you get caught up with WD. Some f'd up shiz happens in the 50s. Hope you're not a big fan of Carl . . . *ominous evil laughter*
  23. episode 1 was fantastic. heavy on the comedy and much less soap opera drama type shit. haven't seen all of episode 2 yet, i've got the torrent though to watch it tonight.
  24. WTF? No one watching S5? Second episode of the season was on tonight!
  25. ^^ agreed! that was brilliant! much better than what i listened to last: "the stanky legg"
