Category: TelevisionHighlander is one of the greatest stories ever told, period! i don't understand all this hatred from the Bleeders, i mean, is it the monthly loss of blood that makes you unable to comprehend the genius behind this story? and calliander, well you've always been an honorary bleeder so im not surprised at your business as usual flip flop on a subject.
lets take a look at xx(i assume the "x"'s are because your so edge) list
black hawk down, i saw this in theaters, it was a good movie, if not completely and utterly depressing i would not label this as an action movie though, much more of a drama set in the background of war.
Rules of engagement, another Drama set to the backdrop of war, this one with a lot more flash backs.
Three Kings, a comedy set to the back drop of....you guessed it war.....im seeing a trend here.....
Star wars, war is in the tittle of this one so it must be good right? while a little broad considering this comprises 6 movies ill give you they qualify fro action most of the time, though the new ones are more like dramas.
Band of Brothers, i happen to love this mini series, but again its a drama.
now that we have figured out xx likes dramas set to the back drop of war we can move on to actual action movies.
here are 6 actual action movies in no particular order
- Drunken master 2
- The Rock
- Die Hard
- Predator, this one is kinda about war so you should like it.
- The Rundown
- Terminator 2
It Truly Saddens Me That This Passes For Entertainment...
Category: TelevisionWhat up fuckers! It's been pretty silent on this bitch for a while so I'd figured I'd open my giant fucking yap. So, I'm talking to my fellow coworker the other night and he goes to me "Oh, dude! Did you see Fear Factor last night? They were eating stink beetles and cow eyeballs!" At that point I had a saddening and depressing epiphany. When did the general public become so brain dead that this horse crap is considered entertainment?!?
I personally blame this reality TV rage on "Who wants to be a Millionaire". Now I know what you're saying: "Lio, this wasn't reality TV". No, but it proved to the networks that they could have a number 1 tv show with just the promise of shelling out a million bucks every so often (it may sound like a lot, but keep in mind that's what each of those Friends assholes gets for one episode, even that douche bag David Schwimmer). No paying those costly writers, directors and people with actual talent. Of course "Millionaire" spawned a number of bastard children. My personal favorite was "Which One of You is the Biggest Gold Digging Whore"... I mean... "Who wants to marry a Millionaire." However, the most culturally significant show that Millionaire spawned was Survivor. This shitbag of a "show" proved that you could drop some camera equipment and a bunch of the most annoying people in the world on a desert island and still turn a profit. After that... fuck... The flood gates for reality TV broke. God, remember when TV had writers, and plots... and... and, meh... screw it.
While we're on the TV and the fucking albatross it has become, I was watching the boob toob tonight at 1 am, as I usually do because I'm pathetic, and I happened upon Sex 2k on MTV. Now for those not in the know, this show showcases deviant lifestyles and displays them on MTV so that our children can be exposed to them and be tolerant of perverts that should be cured of their sickness by FIRE!!! Any hoo... the topic of tonights episode was "Furries". It turns out there are wacked out fuck jobs out there that get their jollies off by dressing up like giant stuffed animals and fucking eachother in the ass. And, supposedly there is this huge internet community out their that gets off on erotic anthropomorhic cartoons and strives to be like them. I'm sorry, but if you like to spend your time whacking off to Looney Toons with Genitalia, you should be dragged out into the town square, put into a pillary and have hot coals shoved up your ass. And then get castrated. I can't believe they are showing this shit on MTV (The average viewer is what 12? 13?) as a choice of sexual lifestyle. I'm sorry people, but sometimes tolerance goes to far. Sometimes you have to say, "You fucking deviant shitbag".
On that note I'd like to announce that I am running for pope and will be starting a new inquistion that will hunt down Furries and TV execs that cram This horse crap down our throats. It's time to burn some heathens and heritics. Hail to the king.
Videos
Category: TelevisionWell, to answer Calliander's question, the music used in silly01.mov is made by Moodlex (www.moodlex.com). I highly recommend you pick up a copy of his CD (Moodlex Sessions). The music I used is actually from an upcoming release.. hopefully he won't mind.
People who know me, know my video camera. I haven't used it much at all in the past 12 months, but I used to use it a LOT. I will probably start using it more again since I do miss it.
But most folks seem to think I do something weird with the footage. In particular, arcee has been the most vocal about it. One reason people don't understand is because I generally don't show anyone the footage.. but you know what? I don't even look at the footage. I went through 2 or 3 tapes in the past few days, and with the exception of the old school tape from 1994, I had NEVER EVER watched the footage. NEVER.
I now have a computer powerful enough to use Premiere without wanting to scream.. so I'll probably put more clips online and go through more of it. I really want to catalogue it all as well.. I have 50+ hours of tape, and I've watched < 5 hours of it.
Some of the most interesting things I'm finding are audio clips. The mic on the camera picks up lots of audio.. including lots of things that I know were not meant to be heard, nevermind recorded. Again I bring up Arcee because the tape I was looking at last night happened to be from her birthday party in Boston. We definitely deserved the comments made for the most part tho.. I still dont understand how Wilson and I were so wasted for so long.
Anyway, I at some point will splice together clips of folks complaining about the camera and talking about what I do with the footage. Every time the camera is out, someone says something.
Anyway, traffic to this site has basically died off which is fantastic. Except for a surprisingly large amount of traffic from Saudi Arabia..
Hoyt
Category: TelevisionI thought it was really cool how they handled Hoyt getting "possessed" like Kirk was. I would've been really pissed if he'd just been like, "FUCK YOU MUKADA! I AM THE DEVIL!" Hoyt is still pretty cool now, though, he's just like, "I see the devil... he's right over your shoulder! Hahahahaha!"
He whipped his cock out in one episode. That was pretty scary. I hear he's a really friendly, intelligent guy, though, in person. Odd. =)
Knaa'mean?
Son of a bitch!
Category: TelevisionWell, they killed Hill on the last season of Oz. Prior to that, they killed Adebisi. Adebisi was replaced by Burr and Hill is still narrating the show from the grave with other dead inmates helping.
They killed Said tonight. It'll be interesting to see, now, if O'Reilly and Beecher get it. Beecher would probably be the last, since he represents the viewer and was introduced first. Weird.
Knaa'mean?
INSULT RIPOFF!

Gatekeeper, you know exactly what to do with a clone of you. He stands by your bed in your house until you get destroyed by Lavos, then you get the Time Egg and go back to 10,000 B.C. and switch him with you at the point you got destroyed.
Jeez, sometimes you're so dumb.
OZ Complete First Season DVD
Category: TelevisionWhat a great DVD set. It's so weird to be able to notice the difference in picture quality and filming styles between the first season and the stuff we've been seeing on the more recent seasons. The first season was definitely much more gritty and more like Law and Order than it is now.
I also realized, watching the first episode again, that we can't really get mad at the Luke Perry thing from the fifth season since Rebadow knew Beecher's wife's name and said that God told him all about it.
I forgot that Alvarez got shanked before he even got into Oz.
Man, so phat. Such a good series.
Eh, whatever... Some thoughts on Oz
Category: TelevisionHehe. You make sound as if I wholeheartedly cared as to whether O'Reilly or Kenmin prevailed, Lio. All I'd said was that the preview made it seem like Jia was kicking his ass. You silly man.
I haven't seen the finale, but I knew that I was right. It was Hill. Who's going to narrate now? I honestly don't think he's gone for good, though because of Tom Fontana's "system". Each of the five "Untouchables" is labeled so for a reason. Beecher is there for alcohol abuse. Hill is there for drug abuse. Schillinger is there for ignorance. Saed is there for abuse of power. And O'Reilly is there for selfishness. All terrible things in Fontana's book. It doesn't have anything to do with black, white, asian, hispanic. Anything else that happens to anyone else is a preamble to whatever changes any of the five. Hill kicked drugs early on, he was humbled by the loss of his legs. Beecher got over the alcohol abuse, he was humbled by the loss of his wife and children. Saed got over his abuse of power this season by taking on McManus' charge of straightening Omar White up. White humbled him. Schillinger is on his way, but keeps getting sidetracked and I think this Winthrop thing will help. What about O'Reilly, though? Will it take the death of his brother to realize the depths of his selfishness?
Well, Season 6 better happen, that's all I have to say. And March 19th can't come fast enough. It's been a while since season 1, folks.
OZ
Category: TelevisionThis message goes to Calliander... So my dear old friend, how does it feel to be SOOOOO wrong about the Jia Kin Min vs. Ryan O'Reilly dispute. I can't believe you thought that arrogant little bastard could ever get one over on O'Reilly! Nobody fucks with that fly Irishman without ending up in the boneyard. Better and meaner men have died trying to defeat him. Dino Ortolani, Nino Shibetta, that russian Jewish guy, Andrew/Verne Shillinger, Everybody in the boxing tourney, that pigfucker that raped Dr. Nathan and now Jia. And do you know why? Why he has lasted so long? Not because he was the strongest. Not because he had the crew with the most clout. Simply because he was the most evil man in an evil place, and he will do whatever it takes for he and Cyril to survive.
