"The number of U.S. service members who have died in Iraq since the
end of the major phase of the war now surpasses the toll in the first phase
of the conflict. ... The number of war dead after the major conflict was
declared over May 1 by President George W. Bush is now at 139, surpassing
the 138 U.S. service members to die during the first phase of warfare."

 Comics: Jim Lee's Batman
 
Hot damn, some hot comic readings are to be had for one and for all when
Lee's in the saddle under pen and pencil. Great stories even for the uninitiated.
A good starting point for someone who's been outta bat's universe for awhile
and wants to just read from here. Ok, so not SO great given the books garner
almost 20 bucks sometimes online. At least for the first few. The set starts
at Batman #609 and concludes in a 3-cover finale at 619. Thus far we have
been taken back and revisited classic bat-villains. Ish 618 JUST came out
yesterday but ive not picked it up yet. I can tell you right now though,
if there was a 24/7 comics shop around here id be there.
XBox: Ghost
Recon: Island Thunder
What is there to really say now that ive not said about this amazing game
before? Well how about a dozen new multiplayer maps, many new and returning
weaps and a handful of maps that were fan favorites from the original.
Namely the Embassy. W00t. Oh, its also 39.99 which is rather nice of UbiSoft.
Id have to say that the single player, though i knew it was short, wasnt
as much of a challenge as i thought it was going to be. What i really dig
is the fact all of the levels are better online as scimage maps than they
ever were as campaign modes maps. A few bugs here and there are also fixed.
Noted: the bug where dickheads
are online at the same time as cool players seems to still be a problem.
Stats are now kept on each account.
DVD/Film: Punch
Drunk Love
Why is it that Paul Thomas Anderson makes great fucking movies every once
and awhile yet gems like well, everything the Olsen twins are in turns
gold? Amazingly well thought out and nothing is left to chance in this
tight romance story that could only be told right by PTAnderson.
DVD/Film: Adaptation.
Wow. See it. I cant really say anything about it. Just see it. Have you
seen it yet? Then GO!

Good hot damn. Now this

DVD/Anime: Macross Zero
I know, i know, its another anime prequel of a legendary series but this
time its decent! CG mixed with cel animation seems to be the norm these
days and Shoji Kawamori dances the two same mediums into amazing choreographed
flight scenes. Really good stuff. Roy Foker is nutz in this.

- Ok, im a little confused. Ok. Wait. Yeah. Ok... So Elvis had this kid,
right? Her name is Lisa Marie and shes quite the hottie. Ok. Backup. Wait,
shes HOT, right? I mean. Its WEIRD cause she looks like a female version
of ELVIS. Then theres this shit about her and Michael Jackson being married
and stuff. I mean shes amazing looking but it feels so dirty to think about
it... Like i just watched a Mary-kate and Ashley movie but on not against
my will.
CD Album/Music: FooFighters:
One on One
This one hasnt left my CD player all month.
Gamecube (import): F-Zero
GX (first impressions)
Theres this friend of mine who just picked up Z-Zero on the import. To
keep his identity a secret ill call him 'Frank'. Frank has been known to
splurge and buy games import just before they come out in America [bb:what
about viewtiful joe, ninja? hmm?|]. F-Zero while being a damn near perfect
racer is only a week and a few days away yet he made it a point to pick
it up at a higher tag just cause waiting was unbearable. He shelled out
70 bucks to pick up a game that will be under 50 when it comes out on the
26th. Well, after playing the game too i would have done the same thing.
Hell, 70 bucks seems kinda low! But nobody is complaining. Amusement Vision/Sega
and Nintendo did us one proud with this worthy addition among a bevy of
other classics reborn on the GC. While adding the ability to customize
your own racer to our own specs and taste the harder to find parts and
upgrades will only be available at your local arcade. What you do is bring
your GC memory card to any F-Zero AX machine, race with your custom car,
save new stuff to your memory card, bring home, finish customizing car,
eat occasionally. The FMV cutscenes are well done and a treat between levels.
The action is faster than its ever been in the series so the time it takes
inbetween challenges is fairly quick but satisfying. There were a bunch
of other modes too which i didnt get a good look at but one thing is for
sure, i cant wait for this one.
OK, so its like this - I recently
found out that True Crime, that one spossed to be better than GTA3 game
for XBox, GC and PS2, also happens to have a stellar voice talent cast!
Christopher Walken, Michael Madsen, Russell Wong, Michelle Rodriguez, Ron
Perlman, CCH Pounder, James Hong, Mako, and Keone Young!! Ok, so i dont
know who the hell CCH Pounder or Mako is but everyone else speaks for themselves.
(insert stupid voice actor pun here). Designed by Luxoflux those blokes
who put together Vigilante8 and that horrid StarWars Demolition game, this
game looked like it would play better as a frisbee but now with WALKEN
and OLDMAN on the roster... FUCK, ill playa the dumb game just for THEM.
Oh, and im sure there shooting and looting and whatever else you do in
the game will be swell too. Whatever.
Ohdeargodyes!
Who here doenst have a NeoGeo pocket Color yet, one of the best handhelds
for the hardcore? Well, here is your chance
to redeem yourself. EB games is going to start reselling the system
and games in bundle packs. All, i repeat ALL of the games in these packs
are MUST owns too. 39.99 for a pack of 4 games. 79.99 for the system and
6 games.

Good dumb fun. Maybe worth owing. Lots of un-needed stuff thrown about.
Fun to watch nevertheless.

- I always thought that Dog training was suppose to help, you know, train
your dog or something. What it does turn out to be is a place for your
dog to just run around hog--ass wild instead. The first thing the trainer
said when he saw Koko, the canine of mass destruction, was "Oh my
GOD. I didnt know he was THAT big!". I want my hindered bucks back
too. While you are at it could you ask Bioware and Lucasarts to give me
my life back too? Knights of the Old Republic is so chock full of interesting
shiny things that it takes the place of sleeping AND eating. Amazing. Put
me down for two. Got a chance to play some SNK vs Capcom: Chaos at the
arcades and ive learned one thing and almost one thing only: Mars People
requires little to no skill to make it's user a total fucking penis. The
game seems alright, but like the first CapSNK its rough and unbalanced
in places. That is unless you are using an SNK person. This must be SNK's
"Fuck you" to cap for castrating alot of the SNK people in CapSNK2.
Ive seen all the hidden people except FireBrand and Athena and everyone
and everything is super animated.
DVD/Anime: FLCL
vol 3 Collectors Box (eps5 and 6)
So what if i already own the HK version and seen this series a few dozen
times through? I had to have this one. The collectors box offa DVDBoxoffice.com was about the same price
as the vanilla version at Best Buy too :) Limited to 10,000 copies i really
thought it would be more difficult finding one. A buddy of mine pre-ordered
two copies just in case. One for he, one for me. The print on this disc
is excellent - suffering very little artifacting that cel animation has
an affinity for. THe liner notes are of course excellent and the director's
commentary is always a joy to listen to. If i havnt recommended this series
to you guys a hundred times yet then im doing a disservice to Gainax and
KGI. Concluding the 6 episodes these two have to be my two favorites after
the first.

Hard as hell. Youve never seen cel shading till you've seen this game.

DVD/Anime: His and Her
Circumstances vol 1
Ah man, where's Yoshiyuki Sadamoto! Still, this anime is interesting. Someone
said that HaHC(kareshi kanojo no jiyo) is a "relationship dram-medie"
as Neon Genesis Evangelion is simply a "Robot Anime". It has
that same early 80's esthetic to it like Evangelion. Only with CG here
and there. A little drawn out from time to time but interesting. I really
got hooked into the characters about 3 eps in. It took that long. Though
there are 6 eps on one disc it seems like its not enough.
Movies: Bad Boys 2
Things explode sometimes without reason but its one hellava watch. The
usual wit and repoire between Lawrence and Smith still shines. Note: Bitching
level in dialog is surprisingly high. Bring along earplugs. Altogether
a fun watch and as a fan of the first this one didnt disappoint. Bruckheimer
to the core.
