Hmmm...

You guys seen Pirates yet? I saw it Thursday and really enjoyed it. I was just wondering how you guys liked it. Apparently it has more backlash against it than Spider-Man and Shrek combined, which I feel is waaaaayyyyyy less deserved than Spider-Man. It seems that people have set some kind of outrageous standards for summer action movies nowadays, which I really don't think applies to the Pirates movies since they've done the unthinkable and added history/mythology/sea-lore to an otherwise brainless franchise. It really irritates me. Oh well. I guess people want to have to think, but just a little.

HOLY FUCK THIS IS COOL AS SHIT!

This shit is for real motherfuckers! I can't fuckin wait for this goddamned movie now. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

DOUBLE REVIEW EXTRAVAGANZA!

Alright, so I'm going to have a double super awesome review post tonight.

First: I picked up the new Bright Eyes CD hoping it would be as good as I'm Wide Awake It's Morning and Jesus Gawd is it good. In the same trajectory that Wide Awake set, Oberst has continued with his Alt-Indie-Country style and produced some song which would not be unwelcome on CMT. That is however if CMT would be ok with song against the war, criticizing the bible, and the other Bush-Era liberal mantra that fuels our hate. He then shifts on a few songs to Digital Urn-style material, but that might only be two songs. One of my personal favorites is "Make a Plan to Love Me," a Gershwinesque tribute to 70's string ballads. Other notable features include backup vocals from Z Berg of The Like, Rachel Yamagatta, and the two Girls from Eisley, as well as some of the most singing slide guitar heard in years. All in all, I highly recommend this album for later Bright Eyes fans who get excited about Oberst's slow transformation into Gram Parsons.

Second: 28 Weeks Later. This might be my ne favorite horror movie. It is not only the prettiest horror film I've ever seen, but one of the prettiest films I've seen period. It looks like a French art film with rage zombies. I must admit I wasn't a big fan of the original, but this one blew me away. This was one of the most emotional, intense, and depresing movies I've seen. Plus it has the honor of taking one of the most ridiculous scenes in Grindhouse and making it not only plausible, but even more gory and exciting. I highly recommend this to fans of horror, zombies, disguised political statements, the song "London's Burning," and pretty film in general.
Till next time,

Ask and you shall receive

Where do you guys get random photos with captions such as the one above? I found this via google, but that's often not reliable. Are there websites/blogs out there that deal solely with these?

And also, Spiderman 3 for me was better the second time around. Less time going, "Hah-oh, wait, was that supposed to be funny?","What the hell?", or drooling - and more time actually absorbing things.

You laugh, you lose.

Post moar pics in this blog!

Spidey 3 Verdicts

Okay, in case Dr. L hasn't seen it yet... keep the discussion to the comments section.

Here It Is...

I thought you guys might enjoy this. It's the real Iron Man suit from the movie. Entetainment Weekly just published it. It looks pretty fuckin badass. Sorry it's a little blurry. I think I've said enough.
