Quick Rage Vent

I absolutely hate it when movies and TV shows over use the "Tarentino" start at the end technique. Sure its fine when its done right, but it seems that Tarentino is the only one who can use it right. Every one else fucks it up royally. Instead of inducing curiosity it just pretty much tells you what happens in the end. Its no longer original or "edgy" (what ever the fuck that means), instead its just annoying. In fact most of the time if you were to just cut the scene in which the movie shows you what's inevitably going to happen at the end it wouldn't even matter, no one would notice. It would surely save you from having to endure 10 minutes of "what the fucks going on".

Although this is incredibly annoying what really, really chaps my ass is when a movie begins at the end, then starts back at the beginning and then when it reaches the end again it plays through the whole start scene again as if it expects the average viewer to forget what they saw and hour and a half before. Again this can work if its done right (eg: snatch) but most of the time its not.

So to wrap this up; Flash Forward is the worst TV show idea that has ever been uttered from Satan's anus.

RIP fun

Well it seems the future is a dim place indeed. I didn't see this coming but the signs were there. The powers that be have deemed LAN play and dedicated servers unnecessary for pretty much every new game coming out. This is some kind of ass hat attempt to stop piracy but all its going to do is make the game less fun for people who actually buy it.
Take Left 4 Dead for example. I bought that game only to find out later on that LAN play is out of the question... unless you pirate it. Thats right the only way to LAN play Left 4 Dead is to do the exact thing they tried to stop by excluding LAN. In fact I'm pretty sure its easier to pirate any game than to fuck around with steam for two days trying to install it.

I am sad that they're trying to turn PC into the xbox. And I'm sad that in this losing war against the pirates all theyre doing is pissing off people who actually pay for their games and creating a situation where its easier and less of a head ache to just download it.

Farewell those fun LAN days and farewell those excellent dedicated servers.

Beats, Bears and Battlestar Galactica

Just a quick review on Battlestar Galactica, I've been watching it recently more out of a curious investigation. Every time I saw BSG on TV it was always incredible boring, and I would ask myself; how can a show about space ship sorties against evil robots be this boring!. So I've watched and discovered something amazing, BGS does intact have a complex and winding plot, full of twists and turns. The only problem is that its the same fucking twist over and over again, you see it turns out they're actually a Cylon, "They" being anyone in question at that moment. Im pretty sure at this stage there's more Cylon's than humans in the fleet, hell! I would be happy if they threw in the classic "She's been dead for 5 years!" just to switch it up a notch. I am really at the stage now where I say to myself while watching "Holy shit! Could it be, there's just no way that... they're not a Cylon. That would be far to unexpected." only to be disappointed in the last 5 minutes of episode with the big reveal that in fact they are a Cylon. What the fuck are they even doing in the fleet? Maybe it's because they're trying to blend in with man kind so perfectly that they think to themselves "Well if I were a real human I wouldn't plot the destruction of the last humans, so for my covers sake I better just flip these pan cakes."

So for the sake of the future I have designed the perfect Cylon test: Does the thing your testing have a face? If yes its a Cylon so shoot. If no then its a Cylon but someone already shoot its face off.
Happy Hunting

POST TIME!

Its been a long time. Christmas has just been and with it comes a new round of games and such to review and bitch about. One game that will not feature in the "Oh god brain rape" category is the newest titlefrom the prodigous studio Infinity Ward, Modern warfare 2. I freaking LOVE infinity ward, they have yetr to make a game that isnt at least good, if not fucking FANTASTIC. The lateset installment is set five years on form modern warfare and without giving anything away, it is another hit. The story, while stupidly short, is engrossing and suitably epic, the enviroments and characters make the game believable as well as and the new weapons are futuristic without being retarded. The only problems with the game I have found are the short story and the lack of dedicated servers for multiplayer.

Im sure SandPeopl will havemore to add but Thats all i have time for for now, so buy this game, it is worth it and extremely enjoyable.

tipsOnHair Doo's

In regard to hair do's:
When considering hair do's one must consider hair not as a "hair", instead one must consider hair on a philosophical nature, because that is hairs nature.
To begin, hair must be tamed when young and supple. When the hairs collective will is chaotic and without order, to tame the hair before its unity becomes strong is imperative.
Once the voice of the hair has been broken it is now time to start thinking of the "do" your hair shall be crafted into. The model infrastructure your hair shall be moulded towards. This is when the nature of the hair must be harnessed into your creative universe. Hair is a fickle species and also self destructive, in essence hair is as paradoxical as us if not more. These paradox's are what one must build upon to create a monumental hair do. Hair must be complex as if each hair strand has an individual opinion and yet they are simple as if they strive in a common goal. Hair must look as if you've just woken up after a night of absolved memories, a sign for all the world to see that says "yeah I know my hairs like this but hey I don't even care", yet the hair must also be refined and obvious that hours of crafting magic in front of the mirror have been sunken into the do.

REMEMBER! that this do is a dangerous road. Stick to the path and pray to the do gods and you'll have a hair do that will rip the fabric of attention asunder. But should you stray from the path or plummet down one of the many pit falls that awaits you, you will have a smoking train wreck atop your head with one casualty, one giant casualty, which is you and your life. So heed the warning and embrace your creativity... but not too much.

forTheFuture

Saying I forgot totally about my rating system I've decided to make a new one. This one will also be totally unique in the world of a reviewests arsenal; it will be so horrifically specific no two movies will receive the same. That said this new rating system will have two purposes. The first is to deliver you the some emotions and shit that are supposed to help you decide if you should see the movie or not. I have no idea what the second purpose is but I have no idea how to achieve the first so I'll think about that later. One problem at a time.

mapTime

I was really bored one day so I created a map for a fantasy world that I may or may not use one day. I made it pretty indecipherable, probably so I can leave me options open for most of it but I like the shape. So have a good gape and enjoy. I might post some history on the map in the future, drawing a simple map I cannot do without a tedious and detailed history.

I started this pic a long time ago for a snow board art competition. I restarted it a few times and got Tukoku to do some of the line work. But now months after I finally painted it. Enjoy avid readers.

ReviewPandorum

Pandorum is a sci fi horror. This genre is a little over populated but not populated well. Pandorum however is a shining diamond in a sea of writhing tigers.

And for those who enjoy a good scare but loathe the tension filled boring start that most horrors have you need not worry. Pandorum starts full of intrigue and mystery. The middle is well paced in such a way that you hardly notice the hour or so fly by. The end however is the master piece. When the final puzzle piece reveals the macabre mosaic you really do feel that you've been taken for an all inclusive ride.

I am a huge fan of sci fi, not so much for its track record of movies and more for its potential. I love seeing technology, realistic and fantastic alike. Pandorum is firmly on the realistic side of the tech with the few strays towards the fantastic saved for the most exciting concepts.

I am terribly afraid of giving too much away in this review so that it might ruin the winding maze of surprises in store, however i am equally afraid of not spending enough information leaving this review utterly useless. So before I topple over the cusp of revealment I will say Pandorum has heavy themes from other sci fi classics that have forged the genre ahead, that is not to say it is carbon copied and cobbled together. It feels more like a much needed refreshment of sci fi horror, starting where Advent Horizon and Alien left off.

So I say if you have any interest in sci fi or horror, you must treat yourself to this well crafted film. Its a great movie and will provoke a good talk on the ride home.

review For Despereaux

No soup so now it doesnt rain anymore!! BullSHIT, this movie sucks.

Long time no post

Yes our avid readers, it seems we've grown apart. Really its both our fault. It was my fault because I havent posted in months, and its your fault because nobody reads this blog.

Well lets get down the gritty and wholesome fondling of the business at hand.


....


nope still no business at hand. Ill keep you all posted.

wAGT

havent posted for ages huh. Well here it is... the new post for our dedicated fans.


altho theres no content, but im working on that.. but probably not;

I'm excited to read about some up coming sequels. (Most are will smith movies)

"I am legend" - I was very much a fan of this film (although the ending was a little dissapointing)
But I'm excited to have come across this exert about a sequel: "Francis Lawrence had confirmed that there will be a prequel and that Will Smith will be reprising his role. Lawrence stated that this movie would reveal what happens to Neville before the infected take over New York. D. B. Weiss has been recruited to write the script, while Lawrence would direct. Smith stated the film would have Neville and his team going from New York City to Washington, D.C. and back again, as they made their last stand.^[65] However, it has since been announced that after meeting with Warner Bros, the decision was made to change the direction of the film and make it into a sequel, with Smith and Weiss both still involved.^[66] It is expected for a 2011 release." source wiki.

"Men In Black III" - Loved the first film, second was not as good but still a blockbuster. MIBIII isn't confirmed but....: "

In 2005, Variety magazine mentioned that Sony was in talks with director Michael Bay to direct Men In Black III. Will Smith has expressed interest in returning for a third film.^[11]

In 2008, fresh new rumours have resurfaced regarding a Men In Black III after an interview with Walter Parkes. On September 28, 2008 Parkes told Magazine Personality Parade in an interview, "The challenge is getting the script right and finding a time when our busy stars are available." .... "Everyone, including Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, wants to do another." source wiki.

"I-Robot" - Great film, trippy cinematography and awesome FX, also not confirmed but: "In an interview with the website Collider.com at a recent Battlestar Galactica event, writer/producer Ronald Moore stated that he is writing the sequel to the film I, Robot." source wiki.

"Cloverfield" - Lets hope they show more of the monster this time? "At the premiere of the film, Matt Reeves talked about possibilities on how a sequel will turn out if the film succeeds.^[68] According to Reeves, "While we were on set making the film we talked about the possibilities and directions of how a sequel can go. The fun of this movie was that it might not have been the only movie being made that night, there might be another movie! In today's day and age of people filming their lives on their camera phones and Handycams, uploading it to YouTube... That was kind of exciting thinking about that."^[69]

In another interview, Reeves states:

There's a moment on the Brooklyn Bridge, and there was a guy filming something on the side of the bridge, and Hud sees him filming and he turns over and he sees the ship that's been capsized and sees the headless Statue of Liberty, and then he turns back and this guy's briefly filming him. In my mind that was two movies intersecting for a brief moment, and I thought there was something interesting in the idea that this incident happened and there are so many different points of view, and there are several different movies at least happening that evening and we just saw one piece of another.^[27]

Reeves also points out that the end scene on Coney Island shows something falling into the ocean in the background (pointed out by fans to be in the far right from the view out of the ferris wheel, a bit left of a boat sitting in the water seen falling just as the camera beeps), but didn't give out details.^[27] (This is, however, many days before the start of the film and shows the two main characters on Coney island before they meet again at the start of the party - as shown by the date stamp on the footage from the camera. This relates to how events began to happen and the satellite which falls from orbit owned by the Japanese media company mentioned).

Producers Bryan Burk and J. J. Abrams also announced their thoughts to Entertainment Weekly about possible sequel(s). According to Bryan Burk, "The creative team has fleshed out an entire backstory which, if we're lucky, we might get to explore in future films".^[70]

Also, Abrams states that he does not want to rush into the development of the sequel right away because of the first film's success, instead he wants to create a sequel that is true to the previous film.^[70]

At the end of January, Matt Reeves entered early talks with Paramount Pictures to direct a sequel to Cloverfield, which would likely be filmed before Reeves's other project, The Invisible Woman.^[71] Reeves now said:

The idea of doing something so differently is exhilarating. We hope that it created a movie experience that is different. The thing about doing a sequel is that I think we all really feel protective of that experience. The key here will be if we can find something that is compelling enough and that is different enough for us to do, then it will probably be worth doing. Obviously it also depends on how Cloverfield does worldwide and all of those things too, but really, for us creatively, we just want to find something that would be another challenge.^[72]

In an interview with IGN, J. J. Abrams stated that they are still in talks with Paramount. Abrams thought (in his opinion) that it would be fun to work on something different. Matt Reeves and Drew Goddard have drawn up different stories for the sequel, but Abrams is only considering the idea of continuing Cloverfield. Paramount is still trying to seal the deal for the sequel." source wiki.

"Transformers: revenge of the fallen" - Confiremed and in the making. I'm excited.

"Jurassic Park: IV" - In development.
