Bad Movie... oh, forget it

Apparently Bad Movie Fest 06' is going to run for the rest of the year and then become bad movie fest 07', since we have so many bad films to watch. added recently to the list that we have yet to watch, but now inexplicably own, is the crapfest that is Gigli. i enjoy pronouncing it as jig-lee, but supposedly that is not the "official" way. Anyway, on to other things. Spider Man 3 is filming, and it has added Topher Grace, of that 70's show and other stuff fame, as Eddie Brock/Venom. Now, I have found that Topher Grace is funny, and that Tobey Maguire is, well... not so much. This could likely translate into people (i.e. me) liking eddie brock better than peter parker in the movie. What?! Liking Eddie Brock more than Peter Parker?! What's the point in living in such a world? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

Bad Movie Fest '06 Day Two

Oh, how can something so wrong feel so right? The Mod Squad isn't the so-bad-it's-good type, oh no, it's so freaking awful, so utterly wretched, that it transcends everything to become amazing. I was astounded by the movie's sheer ability to be bad. The movie was essentially a 40 minute tv show stretched into an hour and a half of total mindlessness. No basic plot was given for the first hour. One of the earliest lines was, "How's that for police brutality?" It was given by Claire Danes as she jumped onto a cops' back. This movie made very little sense, and was beautifully bad. If you ever want to make a nonsensical, bad film, just watch this. The Mod Squad is marvelous, just unexplainably woebegone. We followed up The Mod Squad with Dracula 2: Ascension, Double Team (with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dennis Rodman) and to cap off Day 2, Demolition Man. Dracula 2: Ascension was a delightfully bad vampire film, as you may have guessed from the title. Double Team amazed with Rodman's hair color changing in almost every scene, along with Van Damme fighting a tiger and Mickey Rourke, and Demolition Man, with Wesley Snipes, Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock, inspired one to think, "Why, oh why, am I watching this? Make it stop, make it stop!" That movie is bad, just bad. But I think it gives some good fun with it's silliness. All in all, an absurd day of merriment.

Bad Movie Fest '06 Day One

We kicked off the film fest yesterday, and already have seen what might be the best bad movie of the festival. An old Michael Douglas/Kathleen Turner movie called Romancing the Stone. Ohhhh.... that was pure comedy gold, sheer entertainment. When one of the characters was kidnapped by a small child using a silly rope-with-a-knob-on-it "weapon" that had to be just like one that was used by an ewok in return of the jedi, knocking her out into her phallic shaped red sports car followed by the kid jumping in and driving her away to the people who would ransom her, one of which was played by Danny DeVito, I knew then that the movie was going to be great. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed watching a movie so much, it was hilarious. Then of course we watched Wargames with matthew broderick when he was a kid. That movie was just awful and painful to watch at times, but it had it's funny moments. I especially enjoyed him impressing this girl with the "advanced" technology of the 80's computer with it's floppy disks. Oh, that was glorious. It was a solid bad movie, but probably won't contend for any of the awards. Romancing the Stone, however, will definitely win something. I mean that movie is just awesome. I suggest you all immediatly watch it. Great, great, great... unabashed amusement abound. I almost don't want to call it bad, it was so good.

No Sleep... Just Bad Movies

I've decided to forego spending time on cross examining the kobe-mj games, in order to prepare the movie selection for Bad Movie Fest '06, hosted by myself and my friend jake, our motto being, of course, "No Sleep... Just Bad Movies". We have locks on 14 or so gloriously bad films that we now own copies of, have about 15 more on their way via the library, and several available via rental. We went through hundreds of movies at EverdayMusic's vhs section and got 12 beautifully awful ones that were each 2 dollars. I figure that the final total should be about 50 movies. Bad Movie Fest '06 is also Bad Movie Fest Number 1, and is basically only going to be viewed by us and our friends (who else would want to?). I intend to have posts reviewing each day of the fest and a list of the movies watched. We have divided them into categories, some have more than others and might take more than a day, and some have few and a couple categories can be watched in a day. There is a broad range of movies. If anyone has any movie suggestions, feel free to suggest away. I expect this fest to be wonderfully and horribly entertaining.

Why MJ's 63 was more impressive than Kobe's 81

I don't really want to take away from the incredible game Kobe Bryant played a couple days ago, but scoring 81 in the regular season against a piss-poor defensive team like Toronto just isn't as astounding as when Michael Jordan scored 63 in the playoffs against the Celtics who defended him with players like Larry Bird, M.L Carr, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, and the like. I don't see too many people remembering that David Robinson game against the Clippers where he dropped 71 points on them as possibly the greatest game ever. Anyway, I intend to go into this further after I do some research and find my scorecard from that Bulls-Celtics game on 4-20-1986, the day before I was born. Believe that I'm not trying to say Kobe game wasn't amazing, I just want to write something counter to claims like this guy's.

Stupid fucking Denver Broncos...

Damn those Denver Broncos for beating my New England Patriots, that was one of the most depressing football games I've ever watched. So many turnovers and even when it was obviously over, they still didn't put in Doug Flutie for some of that Flutie magic one last time. I'm fucking dejected now, but at least baseball season isn't far away and then I'll get to see the Boston Red Sox back in action. Baseball season is like eating good n' plenty, that delicious licorice candy that gives me pure deliciousness before all that chewing pops my jaw out of it's socket for that oh-so undelicious agony, only it lasts about 8 months, I just hope that the sox don't break my heart again like so many times before. Awww, who am I kidding? They'll break my heart one way or the other, even in 2004 when they won the World Series they still traded Nomar, but they won, so I can forgive them for that. I hope Big Papi (David Ortiz) can win the MVP this year by having such great hitting that it overpowers the fact the he is a designated hitter.
I started biking a lot again.
My legs feel funny...
good times.

Celebrity Jeopardy Here I Come!

Are you ready to be amazed!? I recently started this blog, and yesterday I checked my profile views. 147 over 11 days! Oh yeah, woohoo! I'm like a online blog male version of Paris Hilton, but without being a skinny coke-whore(the opinions of this blog do not neccesarily represent the writers' opinions or make sense and is therefore not libel, so pffft to you :). Yes, yes, yes, it's true, my astounding rise to fame over the last 10 days has been a roller coaster of emotions, and well, I think it's about time I thanked all the little people for the incredible popularity of this blog. They didn't used to be little, but since my fame grew like mighty Zeus, they have shrunk to mere peon size.
Oh, you sarcastic wit you.
Anywayyyyy.... I'll try to make my next blog have some kind of merit to it. Until then read the blog below(with pictures!) about my incredible trek across hill and dale... well maybe just hillsdale... and council crest. Boo-ya.

A day of icy and snowy goodness

It's pretty cold here, there was freezing rain and snow yesterday and the roads iced over. So obviously, a friend of mine and myself thought it would be just oh-so super awesome to go on a long walk/hike/march. We tried to recruit others, but for some odd reason they declined. Our trek took us to the "top of the city" council crest, and damn if it wasn't a long assed trek. It did indeed, turn out to be quite awsome, with the exceptions of pain that developed in my feet and legs, and the falling down because of icy roads/stones etc., (we both fell twice, my last fall was about as completely on my ass as could be). Coming back down, we practically skated down the steep hills on our boots, at one point I skidded about 30-40 feet, having absolutely no control, terrifying, but also sweet, sweet like candy. I wish there had been more snow though, it probably would have been a lot prettier. The 15 or so mile round-trip felt more like marathon distance. But good times all around. Here is the shape of our travels;

Relaxed and unaware
of my arduous trek
that lay ahead


Guy didn't come on our walk, but he did
show us some badass swordin'


On the way to the top, "enjoy" is a must visit


Where are the rest of the people enjoying a
good walk in the freezing cold?


Dance of Victory atop council crest!


Our travels are almost over, but the
snow and ice has been compacted to
form the even deadlier, sn-ice of doom


Yay! The journey is complete, although the
travelers "might" just be a bit delirious
Time: 2: something a.m.

And thus was the journey some might have
called foolish, but others might have called...
daring and spectacular!

First Blog... whatevs...

Like The Punk Group opening for Mindless Self Indulgence said, "Alright, let's get this over with." Why did I start this blog? I couldn't think of anything better to do right now, something for my friends to read and to snag the title of said blog before anyone else did. (but why would they want to?) Who am I? Some guy. What am I going to write about? Stuff.
Ooohhhhhh... I bet you've got the chills now, just knowing you're reading the start of the bestest, most specialest blog ever!
Well, that's enough sarcasm for today, soon there will be links to some other blogs by some friends of mine that I think you will find interesting if you are into anything political(and even if you're not), they are very well read on many subjects of politcal science, philosphies etc. etc. good writings on other stuff too.
Now it's time to sit back and await comments from "people" writing things like "hey douche-bag! i don't give a crap about you're stupid little blog and those friends are probably morons cuz they're your friends"
Ahhhhh....... good times....

P.S. I guess it wasn't enough sarcasm for the day, anyway a blog has to start somehow, and I might as well start it by handing out low expectations. Oh and pre-apologies for this in advance, but it has to be said,

"In Soviet Russia, blog writes you!"
