I’m flexible if Mike is, but from my understanding he’s got some fucking whirlwind tour of the northeast. Just so I’m clear, would you and Liza be willing to host us in boston the weekend of the 8th. Would that work out for you?
First of all, I should preface this with where I stand on the illegal immigration issue; I’m of the opinion that there needs to be some control over it, the system is broken but it’s the only one in place at the moment. If it is unfair to Mexicans, then they should do what every other immigrant group in America’s history has done: the ones who are here already need to become active in their communities and government and change unfair policies from the inside. I’m sorry your country sucks, but it doesn’t give you a right to break our laws. I understand the cartels have a stranglehold on the Mexican government. This is no different than any other migration in history. Mexicans are not the first immigrant group to experience this, they’re just the latest. My ancestors had to leave Ireland because the English were going to sell them to the Dutch as military conscripts. Then they came to this country to be greeted by NINA signs at every job they tried to get. But they did not swim across the Atlantic Ocean and refuse to even attempt to gain citizenship through legitimate means.
Danny Trejo was the man and the action was balls out insane., but it was preachier than a Rage Against The Machine Album. Basically 10 minutes in I’m like “I get it, illegal Mexicans are all wonderful people and anyone who gives two shits about the boarder is a lousy racist. It’s seriously that preachy. Spo and I were saying “Is it wrong that I want to vote for the corrupt senator?” It was like a collection of ass-kickery sandwiched between hamfisted attempts at social commentary. And let’s just say that Jessica Alba’s stirring speech isn’t going to win her any Oscars. Robert Rodriguez generally is very conscious about the strengths and weaknesses of his actors and will use them to great affect, he even makes Lindsay Lohan watchable. But his attempt at letting Jessica Alba do some theatrical heavy lifting went beyond laughable, into me actually feeling bad for Ms. Alba. On the plus side Michelle Rodriguez has given me a fetish for chicks with eyepatches. Suffice it to say, I’m of a split mind on this movie.
Because neither is exactly my cup of tea. I’m willing to bet it’s a site better than whatever sackless indie bullshit iTunes is telling you to like this week. And that woman’s ass was magnificent, you’re just hating because your penis is too tiny to properly do anal to it.
Ever since Action Widow started becoming more active in the cosplay community, I have been dwelling on how awesome it would be to have a flame thrower. So much so that I have compiled a list of activities that I think would be rad as fuck with a flame thrower involved. The following are in no particular order.
If you hire Machete to take out the bad guy, make sure you aren’t the bad guy.
Pants. I’ve recently found that one of my most hated things in life for me is pants. I find them generally uncomfortable… They just wind up getting stained… and they keep me from seeing girls genitals. Pants suck. I also wish it was socially acceptable to drop trow and take a whiz at a urinal. Instead I have to unzip the fly, fish out my junk, let ‘er rip, try and expel all the whiz, pray to ceiling cat that I don’t have any left over pee left in my ding dong (which is possible because depending how tight your pants/unners are, your wang may be compressed slightly, think a kink a garden hose)… hopefully I haven’t visibly pissed myself at this point. Fuck pants.
Mike’s Rant about flash. Fuck you. Flash is the industry standard for streaming video right now. Deal with it. Are there better technologies? Yes, but I don’t see them being adapted by the public. Betamax was a superior recordable technology. Laserdisc was the crispest audio/video experience of its time. The Atari Jaguar had super slick 32 bit graphics, years before the Playstation. Just because a technology is better, doesn’t the public will back it, and if the public won’t get behind it, you ain’t got shit. Some companies just can’t deal with the fact they don’t live in a vacuum, where only tech they approve of exists and is used by the public. Flash rulez and I can view it on my netbook at any time.
Upper respiratory infections. I’ve been fighting this bastard since late December. I’m starting to worry I caught the Gay Cancer like Freddie Mercury. Me and Jim Henson are going to be the only ones in the last 40 years to die of pneumonia.
Anyone who knows that I’m loud and obnoxious should try sitting next to my seat-mate at work. I actually bought ear plugs today and I’m pretty sure she still won’t get the hint to shut the fuck up.
Nice overhaul. I still don’t see why you need to leave facebook over it though.
Better then Bronson.
Back in 1991 my dad and I sat down from a trip to Tommy K’s to watch Troll 2. We were both pretty jazzed because Troll was pretty kick ass. We were then both mortified when we saw the sheer crapitude of Troll 2. Right then and there, we both knew that we had seen the worst movie we would ever see. Flash forward to today, Troll 2 has amassed a large internet following and even has conventions. It took almost 20 years but the rest of geekdom has caught up to the realization that my father and I reached. He’ll get a chuckle out of this.
I just watched Leprechaun in Da Hood the other day. Leppy is indeed in the hood up to no good.
