  1. Dude, he gave the 5 to glitter as a *joke*. Read the review, and you'll see.

     

    Basically he was like, "yeah, the movie is crap and Mariah's a talentless skank but she's fuckable so I don;t care"

     

    My favorites of the reviews in his archives are Glitter, Gladiator, and Crouching Tiger (where he shows that he really does know what makes a movie good). Also Jim Carey's Grich where he gives that movie the shaft it so richly deserves.

  2. I came across this guy and thought "WOW. Finally I can get through the bullshit."

     

    I don't always agree with his analysis or verdict but the points he brings up are always spot on.

    his review of Bond 20 for example goes against everyone else's but that's good cuz nothing's perfect and balance is required.

     

    Oh yeah, he dislikes Kevin Smith and comic books too, so a lot of people on the board will be offended.

    But like I said, even though he disagrees with you as a reader, you can respect him cuz he's got good reasons for his opinions (Well except for the comic book thing. He seems to have a pathological hatred of us comic book geeks based on nothing but perception)

     

    His 'Quote Whore' sidebar is great.

    What's wierd is that I first read Rawhide kid when marvel tried to bring him back in the eighties. There was a great scene where the kid is hanging of the top of a train. I recommended the book to IC and often thought that If I got to be a comics writer I'd bring the Kid back.

     

    But this is way different from what I ever imagined.

     

    Tha article has a point about the changing the character though. I understand the original Rawhide kid was a carefree Robin Hood type (which might fit the new campy style) but the Kid I read was a bout an older cynical gunfighter.

  4. Top Ten Ways to Freak Out Your Roommate

     

    10) Collect potatoes. Paint faces on them and give them names.

    Name one after your roommate. Separate your roommate's potato

    from the others. Wait a few days, and then bake your roommate's

    potato and eat it. Explain to your roommate, ''He just didn't

    belong.''

     

    9) Move everything to one side of the room. Ask your roommate if

    he knows how much an elephant weighs, and look at the floor on

    the empty side of the room with concern.

     

    8) Draw a tiny black line on your nose. Make it bigger every

    day. Look at it and say, ''The hair, it's growing. Growing!''

     

    7) Buy some knives. Sharpen them every night. While you're doing

    so, look at your roommate and mutter, ''Soon, soon....''

     

    6) Collect hundreds of pens and pile them on one side of the

    room. Keep one pencil on the other side of the room. Laugh at

    the pencil.

     

    5) Tell your roommate, ''I've got an important message for

    you.'' Then pretend to faint. When you recover, say you can't

    remember what the message was. Later on, say, ''Oh, yeah, I

    remember!'' Pretend to faint again. Keep this up for several

    weeks.

     

    4) While your roommate is out, glue your shoes to the ceiling.

    When your roommate walks in, sit on the floor, hold your head,

    and moan.

     

    3) Make a sandwich. Don't eat it, leave it on the floor. Ignore

    the sandwich. Wait until your roommate gets rid of it, and then

    say, ''Hey, where the heck is my sandwich!?'' Complain loudly

    that you are hungry.

     

    2) Every time your roommate walks in yell, ''Hooray! You're

    back!'' as loud as you can and dance around the room for five

    minutes. Afterwards, keep looking at your watch and saying,

    ''Shouldn't you be going somewhere?''

     

    1) Talk back to your Rice Krispies. All of a sudden, act

    offended, throw the bowl on the floor and kick it. Refuse to

    clean it up, explaining, ''No, I want to watch them suffer.'''

  5. Well, that was weird and scary...

     

    I was watching some Bollywood musical numbers on TV, waiting for the Turkey-Korea game to start and I put the tv on mute and started playing some Linkin Park on the computer.

     

    When I looked up the video and the song were in sync.

     

    ANd then when another Video started and Led Zepellin came on, they were in sync again. ANd yet again with the Ozzy Osbourne song after that...

     

    I gotta try this the next time I'm on acid.....

  6. I never saw their *final* fight I did see the one in the middle of the storyline where Magneto loses. BUt because Magneto's supposed to be 1/2 strength It's very easy to see him getting beat.

     

    It was a cop out because the fight was 'fixed'. We didn't get to see Magneto lose fair and square.

    Looks: Translucent blue and glowing

     

    Theme music: Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song

     

     

    Powers: flight (Is that possible in the engine?) Telekinetic Mind Blasts, no weapons

     

    Character Classes: Flesh Eater, Blood Drinker and Soul Stealer

     

    Background:

     

    Jumbie was granted a special dispensation by the powers-that-be to return to the mortal realm and take care of some unfinished business. This was granted because of extenuating circumstances: He'd died a virgin.

  8. Has anyone seen the Pepsi commercial for the world cup with Backham and some Sumo wrestlers?

     

    It's hilarious and I was wondering if anyone's seen it online. I can't download stuff on account of my shitty internet connection.

     

    Hopefull someone can download it and hold on to it till I get a better connection. I do have a great Nike soccer commercial with Ninjas and Figo and Gunga and a whole lot of other good players I can trade you back for it.

  9. Yahve as the Idiot King. I love it.

     

    The overall quest can be to recover the sacred Goldshlager so as to end the King's curse and restore his intelligence.

     

    My character would be some kind of living dead... THat's what the word Jumbie means

     

    We need to have a muse/prophetess for our heroes... I propose HeartlessBitch.

     

    THe main villian has to be a Darkness spreading over the land, bringing ignorance, fear anf intolerance. Turning the KIng into an idiot was his first step.

     

    That's all the ideas I have for now...

     

    OH wait. Bacchus is taking a self imposed 'electronic vacation' and won't be posting for a while. IN his absence I propose his character to be a burro. A really horny burro.
