Check out this video about a gay boy named Shannon who wished for a planet full of unicorns. And these are not just any ordinary unicorns, they are named Feathers, Cadillac and Tom Cruise! What's funny is that one of the unicorns sounds like Fez from That 70's Show, and Tom Cruise sounds, well, you know, GAY!



Enjoy!

It's weird that after having a bit of time to slow down and unwind... (aka not work and bum around the house) this weekend, I suddenly recall a few things that happened that week. It's all very odd. I don't remember that exact times and actual days but these all really happened: Monday morning, during my commute it was traffic at coastal road --- Coz there was an accident... it was a a pretty trashed up van (or a truck can't remember exactly) and was in a pool of blood. Tuesday, during my commute to work at edsa --- an fx and car --- got smashed up badly --- traffic again for me (Not that I don't care about the people in the accident but just stating a fact lol even if it sounds kinda cold waheheh...)... Wednesday on my commute home... the bus stopped near the turn of Macapagal avenue... at first I didn't know why.... during all this time in my commute i got lost in my own world and barely realized what was happening around me till a few moments later. This time it was wierd that the bus had stopped so long... I saw people looking out the window. There were cops... and a guy laying on the walkway like a dead frog.... the cop was actually laughing (the passengers were disgusted at the cop as he did this.. I think he even nudged the guy with his foot... like mildly kicking him)... The cops were talking to the driver or conductor.... I really didn't know what exactly happened.... did we hit that guy? was he drunk and the bus driver knew him? he fell off the bus while going down? I have no idea...

Then on Thursday on my way to work... just meters up the bridge in edsa towards magallanes... the bus broke down.... we were stuck in a very awkward place where you couldn't get a ride... and the bus seemed like it was gonna fall apart... It was nothing super serious... but the engine was slightly smoking and the driver said something... a wire of some sort had given out... nyways won't bore you with the details... it took a while... but the bus was able to temporarily move... barely get up the bridge... in fact it broke down again when it got into the middle of the bridge... but we eventually got to the other side... where the conductor got us to go to another bus...thankfully...


It's so odd... all this time... I was lost in my head... and almost missed all of these things happening around me... Just always kinda preoccupied of how i'm gonna have to do good at my new job and try not to get fired. XD lol... Feels kinda lame lol... when there were some interesting stuff going on around me.... or bad omens maybe...

What happened on Friday you may ask? Well nothing much... car accident wise... but I did like totally goof and had to do revisions over and over agian... lame revisions that I shouldn't have missed for that newpsaper ad.... and had to stay like up to 7pm for my incompetence... Hahhaha.... not really as bad as the other days... but.. sure felt much worse.... nyways... It was all good as I had to go to a little College reunion of sorts at 8pm so it all worked out, I didn't have to be bored and waiting and all that had I gotten off work earlier wahahaha!

I wish I had gotten more information from all that had happened and paid more attention though.... I still keep wondering what exactly happened to that guy... and those other traffic accidents.... and the bus engine... I was like... just behind the driver... didn't see what happened..

Oh well hahahah! ^_^ It's too late now :P

Now I'm gonna go be all bored again! I hope you guys were at least mildly entertained!

BTW... Vice... its Dj Jamie! Jamie Aditya! That guy rocks!

I wish it was the '90s again. Full of entertaining music videos, Beavis and Butthead, Migraine Boy, VJ Nadia, VJ Donita, VJ Sonia, VJ Carlos Macapinlac (can't remember the name, Dijay Aditya?). I mean, what can you watch on MTV right now? Crappy music, that's what.

I mean, the only reason I watch MTV right now is to watch Pimp My Ride. How low can MTV go? Hmm... maybe if they put the lyrics of the songs below the screen...

Anyway, here are some music videos from the Foo Fighters that I have either never watched or just watched once.

Learn to Fly

This video includes Tenacious D members Jack Black and Kyle Gass as drug smugglers. I didn't even know they were here until I watched it recently.



Breakout

Ahh, one of my favorite FF songs! This was from the Me, Myself, and Irene soundtrack, so you get to see the lovely Traylor Howard (Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place), Anthony Anderson (from most of the Jet Li movies), Jarod Mixon (is he the guy from Old School?), and the black midget.



Monkey Wrench

Ok, so this isn't really the music video for Monkey Wrench, but this guy's really good.



There you go. I hope you enjoyed it.

Well nothing much to say really hehehe, just thought I'd share two songs I like to hear as of late. ^_^ Enjoy!

This one is the 3rd or 4th opening credits of the very popular anime show Bleach, but I looked for the MTV of the Jap band "The High and Mighty colors", so it's the longer radio friendly version (I wonder if there is a longer prog version... which could be the case). This is entitled "Ichirin no Hana" it's english subtitled so if you're curious to know what the song is about well, there you go! XD:



This one is Love song by 311, hahaha yeah.. mushy crap lol but ei 50 first dates was a good movie afterall and this is great song! It's not a video but pffft who cares!



So there you go! Have fun you @$$w!p3s hehheh!
The dogster is outta here! I need to go to the rooftop and watch dogs doing it in the street! WUhahahah!

This day, May 7th, Americans are celebrating an unusual, yet popular occasion. Today is National Masturbation Day!

This is a glorious day to appreciate the art of self-stimulation. Most guys do this, maybe once, twice, thrice (?) a day, so it's already a part of our routine/day.

So, if you have the urge to "jimmy your crank", "choke the chicken", "flog the dolphin", "play ping-pong with your organ", "clean your heavy equipment", "peel the wolverine", "strain the meat", "tease the snot out of Rotney", "pull the one-eyed monster", "cuff the ham", and others, always remember this day; the day where we can be proud to do this!

It is under your discretion to look at it if you haven't seen the movie. If you feel that you need to see my opinion before you go watch it, then go for it. Otherwise, look at Mark's post below.

And here we go...................................

I just woke up, so at least my mind is clear now. But let me get this thing straight: Spider-man 3 is such a disappointment, you might as well spent your Labor Day watching another movie (Gray Matters, perhaps?).

Now, let's start nitpicking. Here's the stuff that I really HATE:

Opening Credits

If you're a follower of the Spider-man franchise, you'd easily notice how the editors had used old clips from Spider-man 1 and 2. Others would argue that it's merely retelling what happened on the previous movies, for the sake of new viewers; for me, it's just the editors having no CREATIVITY at all to come up with a Previously..." type of summary. Come on, the credits to Spider-man 2 was creative, using comic book sketches to portray what happened on Spider-man 1. All I can say is, WHAT A LAZY AND COMPLACENT BUNCH OF *SSES!!!

Storyline/Plotline

This one was actually very surprising for me, because this was the one I liked during the previous two movies. Peter had lots of interactions with the main antagonists, sometimes Osborn and Octavius are portrayed as icons/father figures of Peter. This made the fight scenes between them memorable, because there's one side (that's Peter for you) reluctant to engage another in battle, because of the deep respect Peter has for the other.

This time, it's different. It's like they put too many characters in this movie that there is no time for character development. It's like the writers just had to explain why these new characters are there, and how they are actually connected to Peter Parker. It's just a waste of talent for actors such as Topher Grace (Eddie Brock), Bryce Dallas Howard (Gwen Stacy), James Cromwell (Chief of Police Stacy), and yes, even the alien symbiote (although it is not actually an actor).

For example:

***SPOILER ALERT***

Gwen is introduced as Peter's cute lab partner, who he eventually upside down kisses her, making MJ ballistic and eventually led to Peter and MJ's breakup. Peter also used her to get back at MJ.

Eddie Brock is introduced here as the new upcoming photographer for the Daily Bugle. He took out Gwen once for coffee, already assuming that he is already dating her.

Gwen's dad was introduced when Gwen was attacked by a very intelligent crane that actually lacks the accuracy needed to kill Gwen. IF THERE WAS ANY CHANCE OF KILLING GWEN, THIS WAS IT!!!

We go to Peter and MJ doing some PDA over a web in a park. As they were kissing, a shooting star appeared containing the alien symbiote. YES, THIS IS HOW WE GET INTRODUCED TO THE ALIEN SYMBIOTE: WHILE PETER AND MJ ARE MAKING OUT!

***END OF SPOILERS***

You see how they were actually introduced? It's like they just popped out from nowhere.

Pacing

Because of the multitude of characters, there was little plot development. Which means less time in actually connecting one storyline to another. This was another major flaw in this movie, as it just flows from one big thing to another, without even providing a very meaningful background as to why it happened that way.

And that's not only my main gripe here. Even though there was less time in connecting these storylines, there are parts that were longer than I would expect. These parts made me fall asleep! True fact: there have been only three films in which I actually fell asleep, and I ended up being disappointed with all of them. #1: Constantine - the end part was very wordy. In other words, boring to the point of sleeping. #2: Da Vinci Code - enough said.

***SPOILER ALERT***

#3 Spider-man 3: The part where Spidey and Harry where fighting in midair, up until the part where Harry got clotheslined by Spidey's web. Maybe it's just me being sleepy, but I think that fight was boring compared to the other fight scenes Spidey had in the previous movies. Or maybe it's just because the scene was in the dark.

One other lengthy part would be the way Peter Parker changed once the symbiote got into him. The loser type, dancing part took too much time in the movie, that it could have just shown how incredibly strong and agile Spidey is, instead of showing how great of a pianist and dancer Peter Parker is.

***END OF SPOILERS***

Now, I don't hate everything about Spider-man 3. I loved the Venom costume. I loved Spidey's fight scenes with Venom, although I still felt that it was not long enough. I loved Topher Grace's portrayal of Eddie Brock, as I still see a little Eric Forman in him. His that sarcastic, insolent tone, the same tone you love on "That 70's show" was there, it even made you hope his dad came out of nowhere just to say "You jack*ss!" Bruce Campbell as the MaĆ®tre d’ was exceptionally funny. Thomas Christian Haden's Sandman portrayal was exceptionally done, yet it comes out as shallow because his interaction with Spider-man was minimal. Only in the end did they actually talk to each other with any human emotion.

I think the main problem of the movie is that there was not enough time to weave all these interacting storylines together to fit in three hours. I mean , little things such as Peter actually discovering that sound affects the symbiote and can help remove it from him would have helped. I really cannot imagine someone such as Peter to just go to the bell tower and just as he's trying to remove the costume, hits the bell, which led to the belltolls, and eventually the symbiote moves away. Peter's a scientist; the least you can do is let him discover how to actually remove the symbiote.

Here is what I would have done if I were Sam Raimi: I would have just developed the Stacy family storyline and Eddie Brock's character in Spider-man 3. You know, Stacy flirting with Peter to MJ's disapproval, of course, and Eddie just doing anything sleazy just to get the upper hand in getting the photographer job over Peter. Continue with the black costume Spidey for the whole movie, and just fighting the Sandman over avenging his uncle's death. Spidey realizes how evil he's gonna become. So he finds a way to remove the symbiote, which is sonic waves, and then proceeds to the bell tower, where Eddie Brock was coincidentally there wishing for Peter Parker to die. Drop goes the symbiote, and we've got Venom. Then Spider-man 4 could be dedicated to Spider-man vs. Venom, which would have been very entertaining if they could actually recreate the fight scenes Spidey and Venom have in comic books.

They could have at least done what Quentin Tarantino did with the Kill Bill series. He actually thought the movie was too long for 3 hours, so he split it into two volumes. Alas, I have to assume this is the final chapter of the Spider-man series, as there is closure (ugly closure I might add) in the movie.

I hope comic book fans don't get too disappointed like I did. Because I believe that that's not the way to end a series, even a comic book series.

4.5 out of 10 stars


It might as well have been called that. If and when you watch the movie, you'll understand.

Oh boy, where do I start. This movie was just tried so hard to pack in so many stories into one movie. Don't get me wrong, the movie wasn't terrible, it just wasn't worth waking up at 8:30 in the morning to catch the first showing for.

There's just too many stories in it. The Sandman angle. The Harry Osborn angle. The Venom angle. The Gwen Stacy angle. Mary Jane (are they together? are the done? do we still care?). So many stories that the way the closure was put feels rushed. It really does. So you're left with lots of different storyline angles and too little time (which is saying a lot, since this baby ran for more than 2 hours) to put it in. So those different sides of the story weren't really explored fully.

Saying all that however, I'm not going to say that this movie was a complete disaster. Far from it actually. The fight scenes, as per usual, were well done. And, um, well... Oh! There was the emergence of a new and entertaining character: Peter Parker's apartment door. Also, we get to find out that even when he's Venom, Topher Grace still talks like Eric Forman. It's also revealed that Pete probably carries a spare mask all the time!

So go ahead and watch this movie. Even though it's probably a 5/10 movie, it's still worth watching. But don't go out of your way just to see it. You're welcome.

Ayos!
