You can rest assured that more attention will be paid to communication and outfit coordination for Senior Ball. But who will get to be the lucky boy who gets to wear the tuxedo of the future? Who?!

Critics schmitics!

Learning to use Geese in Capcom vs SNK2. Its tough enough trying to kick the shit outta some guy shooting fire outta his hands and ass when you're named after a fowl. Whats up with SNK anyways? Duck King, Geese... uh, Duck King Geese. Sheesh, thats like 2 and a damn half characters named after birds that dont so much ATTACK as just BE. No, ducks and geese would rather make a whole ruckus of fucking noise and float around all day long than shoot fire outta anything. I dont get it. Well, obviously.

Movie: Matchstick men

Nicolas Cage. Obsesive-compulsive. Im pretty sure, even before Matchstick', the last 8 or nine times i even mentioned the latter of these it was coupled with the former. The very last movie he was in that i saw was Adaptation. Before that - Bringing out the Dead. He seems to make it fresh every time he plays a wierd ass. Even though Ridley Scott's take on the insides of a con are slick just the undertow of Cage's frailties makes each con just that much more tense. Funny as hell.

Movie: Underworld
Ok, critics. Though this movie and The Matrix have many things in common it is still silly to compare the two. And AGAIN, The Matrix DIDNT invent wire-work or CG or leather or slick camera work OR fucking kicking people in the head (read: GungFu) so STOP saying it bites too much offa Neo's Big Adventure. Fuck. Anyways... This movie hit home with me. Not really deep in any way, shape, form plus it tried to make up for it by throwing all sorts of sloppy twists and turns but fun to watch. Not as "deep" as something of this material could offer but not mindless like Equilibrium. Noted: i DO indeed like Vampires (the idea not the asses who think they are them) and Warewolves and guns and Kate Beckinsale and i did indeed enjoy Equilibrium but i dunno, i was expecting something more while i was watching it. With that being said - it was worth the 9.50 in the ninja opinion.
GBA: Boktai

Metal Gear Fantasy Arms w/ Sun Sensor. Whew, there. Next.
... Ok, so that wasnt meaty enough? How about... This game packs a decent amount of puzzle solving with gun modification action mixed with a dash of Metal Gear Solid. Its so obvious that Hideo Kojima had his magic hands in this when you first see a zombie do this: "!" You MGS fans know what im talking about. Due to lack of actual time in my days i opted to bring back Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, or "Ehfftahvee" for short. Correct me if im wrong but isnt there like over 12 hours of sun in a normal day like lets say in California? Where the hell do i FIND it? Ya see, this game has a little UV (thats "über visualnessly") ray sensor on it's backside used to "collect" the sun's POWERFUL rays of ...sun. There are a whole bev of things you can and cant do while you are under the harmful array of the sun's full spectrum arsenal. Mostly, though, when the sun is basking on the OTHER side of the earth letting all the other good boys and girls with Boktai to play you are left with a slightly more limited approach to working through levels. You cant even BEAT a dungeon without the sun. Kinda stinks but its life. Life with Boktai. Ive gotten a little taste of the multiplayer modes. Aside from being able to trade items and schtuff two to four lucky SP owners can "fight it out" amongst each other. Sure beats hand to hand combat. PLUS you dont have to find a broken bottle! See, Boktai is ALREADY a time saver. Buy it.
The new Resident Evil trailer is grrrrrreat! No link on Apple yet.

    So much random stuff is going on right now. I was asked to co-produce this pilot called "Left Turn" written by my bud, Cas. Quite a fellow. The script is pretty well laid out. Funny. Irreverent. Written in about a day. Right as im writing this post im working on the production sched' for principle shooting and rehearsal. Ive worked on a few shows now and i must say this is the first time im sure a winner will come out. Might by the uppers, i dunno. Speaking about drugs, ive been hooked on this fucking gum from Starbucks. Yeah, i know... But they come in litle tin cans and fucking utterly DESTROY all smell from your mouth except the one that is the flavor. Awesome shit. Sorry for the loooooong hiatus. Classes started up for me too. Ugh.

    Comics: Alias (not the official site)

    Everytime i pick up a few of these i tell myself im only going to read a few then go back to working on whatever im working on be it something tedious like cleaning something or something important. But the same damn thing always happens. I keep reading until i see what time it is and (curse) find out that im way behind. These books are published under Marvel's MAX Comics due to a whole lotta swearing and adult situations. Every ish has a fucking amazing collage-cover and great art inside. Check em out. I think there about 25 of them altogether. Kinda old and Marvel doesnt back issue anymore.

    DVD/ActionSciFiMovie: Predator 2

    This is a damned classic. Every male should own this. Cheap.

    DVD/Film: The Meaning of Life SE

    Worth the making of and alternate versions of the songs ALONE. My all time favorite Python flic. Yes, even over 'Holy Grail.
    Gamecube: F-Zero

    Some games claim to be fast. Some games claim to be intense. Those games are the Snickers candy bar and F-Zero is the quadruple-layered, fudge with fudge atop the fudge, sprinkles with sparklers sticking out the sides and an oversized, shiny, metal spoon. Its good. The car edit and the multiplayer wasnt enough for Sega's AmusmentVision to stuff in no... It had to include arcade memory card support. Thats one of the ways you can unlock new parts and new tracks. You bring your memory card to your local F-Zero havin' arcade and you plug that bad boy in and TADA! Ok, so ive not done it so that was more of a "uh... i really dont know what it does" 'TADA'. Still this game begs to be played online. Maybe next time.

    Sega's AM2 are making the next Macross game. Yay.
    So i have to post this again.

    DVD/Anime: Heat Guy J

    Very well animated fight scenes and pacing. Uh, robots. Stuff. See it.

    TRAILERS!!! MOVIES!!! YAY!!!
    - Something's Got to Give (ok ok so i dont know anything about this one. Nicholson is in it!)
    - School of Rock (Jack Black headbutt's this kid. 'nuff said.)
    - Pieces of April (i dont know why i bookmarked this one... eh...)
    - My Life Without Me (Ahh.. French American)
    - Human Stain (I dont know whats going on here but it..uh, looks good)
    - Duplex (why am i not sick of Ben Stiller? or Danny Devito's direction? :)
