No Bubo, No ticket!
that's what i'm sayin'.
Bubo will NOT be featured in the upcoming remake of Clash of the Titans (2010)
How do you expect to make a decent remake without one of the greatest elements!? Bubo the mechanical owl from Clash of the Titans (1981) was more than a medieval R2-D2esque sidekick, Bubo was the attempt to link the Greek gods through time and space!

boo to you Louis Leterrier, boo.
and yeah to Bubo.

here's what they deserve...

*UPDATE! since this blog started, confirmed that Bubo WILL make a cameo in the movie... I'd like to think that my protesting had something to do with it... i guess you can see it now if you want.

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of Hogwarts
I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
Cause I've been zappin' and castin so long that
Even my ma'ma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never zapped a man that didn't deserve it
Me, be treated like a geek, you know that's unheard of
You better watch what you wavin, and what you castin
Or you and your homies might be turned to chalk
I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc'-
As they grew I see myself in the magic smoke, fool
I'm the kinda Z the little homies wanna be like
Waving wands in the night
Sayin spells in the street light

possibly the greatest one i've seen since the "Thundercats" movie *fake* trailer

if you can't see it (sorry) there's some pretty sweet pairings, start with Silver Surfer with Stitch (and Wall-E), then Iron Man and Gizmo-Duck, there's the Incredibles (Mr. with Thing, Mrs. with Mr. Fantasic, Violet with Susan Storm [& Venom morphing Goofy trapped in Iso-Bubble], and Dash with Quicksilver), Wolverine with Capt. Hook! This is great! But the BEST are Namor and Ariel, and Belle and Beast (X-Men)! too many more to list but you get the idea.

Genius.

The map shows the entire galaxy divided into sectors of star systems. Production is carried out by nano-assemblers to create starships and world-sized weapons. Units include combat and colonization ships, control groups and leaders. Units have two types of combat values: weapons and morphogenetic systems. Weapons destroy the enemy, while morphogenetic systems change them into friends. Loyalties switch back and forth depending on the situation.

The Empire also shows unwavering stability in these genuinely difficult economic times. The First Galactic Bank provides these services to those in need. How can this bank remain so stable? Simple really, the Imperial dollar is based on the strength of the Dark Side of the force, not in any tangible trinkets:

Ultimately, with the world in hand, there is little else to reflect upon...

"Ash" Wednesday

2009-02-26T05:47:00.010-06:00

Traditionally I watch a Bruce Campbell movie every year for 'Ash' Wednesday. This year the movie was

If I ever create a drinking game it would have to never include "take a shot for every reference to another movie featuring Bruce Campbell" because you'd be wasted in 15 minutes! Not a great movie, but BC directs and stars in

“My Name is Bruce” is liberally peppered with references to all things Bruce. There are familiar faces in the cast, memorable props are plentiful, venerated quotes are rehashed, and in-jokes abound. This is pretty much a love it or hate it film…it all depends on how you look at it. Bruce is a true caricature here. He hauls in the personalities of some of his more notorious character portrayals combined with a few of the worst possible stereotypes of big-name actors to create a walking parody. He is arrogant, annoying, smarmy, lecherous, vulgar, whiny, and pathetic. He is also not afraid to poke fun at himself and his career throughout this movie, which is one of the reasons he is such a legendary fan favorite and why this movie is already on the way to becoming the newest notch in his cult-status belt. Groovy!

Here's the story in song-form (from the movie)

This weekend I watched Taken.
It. Was. Awesome. He can take Jason Bore(ne) any day.

Roughly adapted:

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career (as a JEDI MASTER). Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you (and SITH LORDS). If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you (with my LIGHTSABER). "

Liam also (in my opinion) should have been Bond in the 90's instead of Balki from Perfect Strangers (with facial hair).

wait, that was Remmington Steele. I digress.

How dare you Roger Ebert. How dare you!

a.k.a. Jerk-off

The last paragraph of the above blog has incited a sort-of uprising amongst the faithful. Don't be surprised if in the coming weeks there is an assault on the callow, pompus tool. i have always loathed this clown since Sneak Previews (before At the Movies) and would love to chairface this ass monkey... not because he's inept at actually forming his own opinion on movies (b/c he only likes movies that he's "supposed to" and probably paid to like), or because he doesn't like my kind of movies (okay, mainly because of this) but because he's an arrogant prick of a human. He wants to make fun of ppl who camp out to be first in a movie? Hey Dillhole, you get PAID to see movies BEFORE they get released! I'm sure if there was a Grand Opening at Dunkin Donuts, or Ponderosa/Shakey's you'd be first in line for that with you're gold trim bib and you'd have to park right up to the buffet to gorge yourself... wanna know how i really feel? anyway...

From Ebert's "Answer Man" column in the Chicago Sun-Times (this guy's question is great, first sentence is everything Ebert could never be)

Q. As a high school teacher, father, husband and "Star Wars" fan, I must register my offense at your "Fanboys" review. My involvement with the "Star Wars" fandom lifestyle has brought me countless memories and friendships. It has opened the door to relationships with my students and colleagues I would otherwise been ignorant of. I am among a legion of "Star Wars" fans. It's time you stopped posing for your fellow critics.

You've obviously caught a lot of flak for your favorable review of "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace." Perhaps you're slinging mud at what appears to be an easy target as a means of earning back some credibility. Look at the breadth and depth of the community you alienate. We are doctors, lawyers, teachers, priests, authors, actors, accountants, custodians, social workers, construction workers and more. We are too big to be dismissed.
Matthew Schnaare, via e-mail

A. I have received a lot of unhappy feedback from that review, in which I wrote: "Anyone who would camp out in a tent on the sidewalk for weeks in order to be first in line for a movie is more into camping on the sidewalk than movies." I have now learned many things about myself, most of which I cannot print here, although they solved the puzzle of what I would do with a third thumb. I was unfair in referring to all fans, when the ones I was thinking of were the heroes of "Fanboys."

...in other words,

One of the most common fears, but still senseless, even Adolf Hitler was triskaidekaphobic. There a specific fear of Friday the 13th as well, called paraskavedekatriaphobia. Tetraphobia is the fear of the number 4, more popular in China, Japan, and Korea.

Random Thoughts II

2009-02-07T20:35:00.002-06:00

-I have beheld the power of cheese. It does not burn very well.

-My wife proudly handed me one of Jordyn's drawings tonight. She asked, "What do you think this is a picture of?" to which I replied, "I am not sure, but it looks infected." Based upon her reaction, I failed to correctly identify the subject of my daughter's artwork.
(It was supposed to be a train - in case you were wondering.)

-Near my sister's house there was a sign in front of a roadside store. It advertised "Apple Cider, Live Crabs, & Mulch." Talk about a lifesaver if you need to pick up those three items, but don't have time to make three stops.

I used to play "Oregon Trail" on the old Apple computer we had at school, but was not very good at it. As a result, I had to watch all my friends and family (I named my family in the game after them) either die of dysentery or drown. Mostly, it was dysentery. Imagine the horror of a young boy when he goes to the library and actually researches dysentery. After that I began naming the members of my family after my mortal enemies in school. Sometimes they made it all the way, but most often they were buried in shallow graves many miles before bloody diarrhea finished me off as well.

How Much Would A Death Star Cost Today?

Welcome
One Death Star for $15 Septillion? What a deal!
Written By: Ryszard Gold
Edited By: Jayson Joynt

Yes, Septillion, that is a 1, followed by 24 zeros.

A very, VERY large number, especially when it concerns money. And why is it a deal? Because that figure ignores a lot of very important costs. Cost for what? Why to build a Death Star of course!

One evening sitting on my rather run down couch, channel surfing, I came across Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. The scene I happened to tune in too featured multitudes of little space ships flying in and around Darth Vaders behemoth of a killer space station, the Death Star.

Thanks the the magic of ILM and the imagination of the series creator George Lucas, we get the scale of this phenomenal construct. You see “spacescrapers” towering over the surface of the moon-like station, valleys that would put the Grand Canyon to shame, and a virtually level horizon line.

While watching this, an odd question popped into my head, “How much would it cost to build the damn thing?”. Impossible to figure out? Truthfully … yes. A complete and utter waste of time, absolutely! So why not try and find out!

Judging by the figure up there, you’ll know why The Emperor was so pissed when the rebels destroyed his monstrosity, and why he was clearly running low on his budget for the second!

So, the “yes” part up there; there are way to many variables to take into consideration to get an accurate cost on a God-like project like this. Hell, it’s science fiction, it could have been constructed by the snap of some Q-like entities fingers. But lets forget Q’s, Darth Vaders, and an entire bag of impossible things to calculate, and answer what we can.

After boiling it down, I ask this question: “In US dollars, what would the cost of materials and delivery to space be for the Death Star?”

So there we go, and yes … I’ve completely ignored such pesky things like cost of ground transportation, cost of construction in space, variety of material costs, time of construction and change of economy over time, gravitation effects, weather or not slave labour was used, why did Darth Vader wear black, and many, many other things. If you care to try and take a stab at any other aspect I’ve otherwise ignored, be my guest! This was for fun, not accuracy …

So, first off, what do I base this all on? How about some educated, but none the less arbitrary numbers? Lets say that the Death Star is 1/10 mass for volume. That means 1/10 of the total volume of the DS is something other then empty space or air. And lets say, 6/10 of the total volume is pressurized, livable space. If that sounds off to you, to bad, write your own article, otherwise, keep reading.

That gives us a volume of 17.16 quadrillion cubic meters. At 1/10 volume, we’ll need 1.71 Quadrillion cubic meters of steel, weighing in at 134 quadrillion tonnes. In 2008 steel products, from wire to ingots were selling for an average of $962 per tonne, so our cost of steel alone is $12.95 quintillion.

Now, how about getting that into space? According to the numbers I could find on the internet, it costs around $95 million to ship 1 tonne of materials into space, so that means we’ll be cutting NASA a cheque for $12.79 septillion. (Remind me to order larger cheques from the bank please.)

Now how bout the air? Air is largely Nitrogen(80%) and Oxygen(20%), and rather conveniently we can ship it compressed. How much are we going to need? 8.23 quintillion m³ of Nitrogen, and 1.65 quintillion m³ of Oxygen. These compress by a very large factor; we’ll only need to ship 21.06 trillion m³ of Nitrogen, and 1.96 trillion m³ of Oxygen. (Credit 1)

Our Nitrogen is going to weigh in at 17.03 trillion tonnes, and our oxygen will tip the scales at 2.24 trillion tonnes. Cost of delivery? Get that pen out and write one of those oversized checks for $2.81 Septillion, and $212.46 quintillion.

Add it all up, and we have a figure of exactly $15,602,022,489,829,821,422,840,226
and 94 cents. Tell you what, I’ll pitch in the 94 cents.

That is a lot of money. Wait, no that’s a disgustingly large sum of money.

How much exactly? $15 Septillion, I told you. But how can we conceive of that number? Well, the figures I could find for the World Economic Value were pretty general, around $14 Trillion USD. In other words, the DS would cost 1.11 TRILLION times the amount of money available in the world, that’s not even including the fact that the majority of that is digital and not physical.

How about something else? Say, how much is the Iraq war costing? You see all sorts of calculators out there, but one figure says $343 million per day, and that is a huge waste of money! But you know what? The Iraq war would have to last 124 TRILLION years, or 9,730 time the age of the UNIVERSE to equal the costs of building one measly Death Star. I mean, come now … it’s only one...

Star Wars Theme Song Sing-Along

2009-01-06T19:35:00.002-06:00

Somewhere between Star Wars and opera, comes Golden Tusk’s latest grand musical effort - The Star Wars Theme Song, put to lyrics.

New for 2009, this encapsulates the original trilogy in one enormous 5 minute sing-along that starts with some very dodgy sound mixing but gets better and better.

It makes some great points along the way, eg - Why on earth didn’t Luke’s Uncle change his last name if they were in hiding?

And the Yoda section is amazing. That guy never disappoints.

Favorite Chistmas Movies!!!

2008-12-20T00:01:00.001-06:00

I have always wanted to post my favorite Christmas movies so here goes!
*(in no particular order, and I appologize if I missed one)

Christmas Vacation - plain and simply hilarious

A Christmas Story - NW Indiana Christmas in the 1940's pretty much the same in the 80's

The Year Without Santa Claus - these two Miser Brothers ROCK!

here they are in action

Gremlins - okay, you may not think this is a "Christmas movie" but watch that and tell my YOU'RE not glad your Old Man doesn' know any Crazy Old Chinese dudes!

The Nightmare Before Christmas - Hell's YES! Halloween AND Christmas. it's like they live in my head...

It's Christmas, Charlie Brown - just b/c of the song and dance during Chuck's poor attempt at directing.

Lucy Van Pelt: Say, by the way, can you play "Jingle Bells?"
[Schroeder proceeds to play "Jingle Bells", which sounds like a traditional grand piano]
Lucy Van Pelt: [interrupting] No, no. I mean "Jingle Bells." You know, deck them halls and all that stuff?
[Schroeder begins to play again, with the piano sounding like an organ]
Lucy Van Pelt: [interrupting again] No, no. You don't get it at all. I mean "Jingle Bells." You know, Santa Claus and ho-ho-ho, and mistletoe and presents to pretty girls.
[gazes lovingly at Schroeder, who then out of frustration taps one key of the piano while playing "Jingle Bells," which sounds like a child's toy piano]
Lucy Van Pelt: That's it!
[Schroeder turns a few unplanned flips from Lucy's reaction]

... and who could forget this guy!!!

Lastly... the rest of the classics

Don't know how or why, but my computer decided to crash... hard. Wasn't bad until i tried to recover window. Yeah. If you have ever connected to the internet then your windows has updated. This means that your disc to reinstall/repair is OBSOLETE. It will do more damage than good. Don't understand... so i made this blue screen of death my desktop background :)

ANYWAY i'm back, i hope all my fans didn't miss me too much, and since i'm off almost the rest of the year i hope to bring minutes of enjoyment to all your lives!

Why couldn't i have gotten this message instead?

Well, it's Thanksgiving time again and time to give thanks. Of coarse they mean give thanks superficially. If you're one of those ppl that says "oh, i give thanks for" my health, or my family, or Whatever then U.R.Lame. What i give thanks for this year?

Thank you for this fine piece of awesome!

Speaking of awesome... like awe-smacking awesome. Watched Kung-Fu Panda of all movies and really liked it. It encompassed several of my favorite things 1) Kung-Fu & 2)Jack Black. There are like TONS of stars voicing characters on this show and overall it's a good movie.

Which reminds me. Chop Socky, my place sometime early next year. It will be a Saturday afternoon/evening event. I have like a dozen Kung-Fu movies that are all dubbed Engrish so the mouths don't match up... the only way to watch them.

Made famous from the unbeatable Guitar Hero finale, always kinda thought it was a joke. Well, sufice to say, i was a bit wrong. This is actually GOOD SHTUFF. For those less fortunate, Dragonforce is the ultimate result of what would happen if a plane full of snakes crashed carrying the members of Europe (the Final Countdown band) and Avenged SevenFold and the strewn dismembered parts were put together by some Dr. Frankenstein and his assistant who resembles Jack Black. Okay, that was a little extreme, but you should get the picture...

i dig it

Diablo!

sorry i have not been on recently, seems i've caught a bit of a bug. Not sick, just stuffy/sinus-y. Seems that this started earlier in the week. Could it have been brought on by the 14+ hours straight of the original Diablo i played last Sunday-Monday? i believe that the original Diablo marathon (Joe & i played til dawn the weekend it came out in 1996) was awesome, but i proved my endurance once again. Last weekend i was bit by the nostalgia bug and broke out some old school hack and slash'n.

Weekend Schedule

Saturday:

started out like any other lazy day... til i had this brain bust of watching the movie Speed Racer. Anyone who has seen this knows it is beyond tripped out, so what do i do? i decided to watch this movie wearing the 3-D glasses acquired from Journey at the Center of the Earth w/ Brenden "Bedazzled MonkeyBone Mummy Dudley Dowright Scrubs and yes, GI Joe" Frazier *how's that for a Blast from the Past?

well, needless to say the glasses didn't work too well. no, just left me with a massive headache and my eyes felt like they were being pry'd out by spoons...

Racer X was pretty cool though, confirming the fact that he has and will always be a Bad Ass. Only one thing, his character was played by Matthew "from my Vantage Point I Lost my Party of Five, but Behind the Mask We Are Marshall Smokin' Aces" Fox (wow).

Later... i got a couple movies from a friend @ work. The one i watched was a cool little film called Saved! Big recommendations for this film from me. Possibly one of the most BELIEVABLE movies i've seen in a 4-really long time! nice job, Jesus...
oh, and BTW my goalie Roberto Luongo just got his 5th shutout of the season (3rd straight)... and now...

Troopers!

A long time ago, this was supposed to come out!

2008-11-03T17:51:00.003-06:00

so i've been waiting for like 8 years for this movie to come out! finally a 4real trailer. AND it features one of the future Ghostbusters in Ghostbusters 3 (possibly)

"The movie follows four "Star Wars" fanboys from the Midwest who drive across the country to honor the wish of their dying friend: to see the yet-unreleased "Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace" in its most optimal setting, George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch."

i know, stupid right... YES!!! that's one reason why i love it!!!

After driving ~10+ hours from the "Happiest" fookin' place on Earth (which i will tell you about @ some other time), we stopped in Chattanooga, TN for the night and THIS was advertised like flippin' crazy! best way to describe it.. WTFTW *no, this isn't the only thing i'm bringing back from my vacation, it's just the one thing i couldn't wait to post!

Random Thoughts

2008-10-25T11:47:00.004-05:00

first a fact about myself. i don't dream. never have or never have remembered any i have (highly unlikely). had a roommate aspiring to be a psychiatrist tell me i don't acheive dreamstate. i just don't think he liked me staring at him while HE slept...

A friend of mine had this nightmare where he was locked in a warehouse. That's not very frightening, but here's the kicker: hair was quickly growing out of the floor and he was using a razor to shave it away. (i guess to keep it from overwhelming him.) i'd love to hear Freud's thoughts on that...

i wonder if someone had a nightmare about being eaten by the Michelin Tire man what would it mean? That one is not in any of the dream books.

Vacation!!!
