Surviving the Week, Getting through Friday

Work today is retarded. So I'm doing anything. I dont know if its because i feel lazy or because i just dont want to try for no reason, but I'm not even really in the mood to write.

So this is today's half-assed attempt at a decent post by someone who has definately not slept enough this week. Thank god for Bullet Points

• My little Selection piece for the weekly was published in this weeks edition. It for tonight's Get Mental at Sky 60. Read it Here
• Orlando's very own Pauly Crush got a mention in Rolling Stone Magazine today for a, ahem, Miley Cyris Remix
  

Miley Cyrus - See You Again (Pauly Crush Stutter To Think Remix)

• So You Think You Can Dance is over, and I am slightly saddened that neither Katee, nor Twitch won, since, in my opinion they both deserved it more than Joshua.
  
• If Satan ever loses his hair, there'll be hell toupee.
• I found a fun little website. Deceiver is fun because its bitchy. It's fun because it details the hypocritical actions of stupid rich people. It's fun because I said so.
• Found an amazing little article about how Pandas are evolutions big fat mistake.
• Found a cool comic about Flight Attendants
• Totaly Want these shoes
• Totally digging this song
  

Anyways I should probably get back to work or something. I know i have to make a quote for some guy in Dubai and this retard on the phone with me stutters so much i could punch him.

Movie: The City of Violence

Sometimes, I wished lived in a twisted city where everyone was ready to fight all the time. It would be a world with lots of dark corners, and a still deadly quiet, crawling with ninjas and their amazing ninja babies, gangs in every alley.

In this fight club land, I'm this super awesome fighting machine that can like, see the future or something. I fight like a pro. I have the agility of a spry feline.

Basically,I am the female version of this guy:



And i rock so hard you have no idea.
oh, and also, don't try to chase me, cuz in my ninja world, I can do this shit:

Review: Hancock and Wanted

Hancock

On Freeze Dried Movies SimSandwich gives a pretty damn good explication of the Movie's General plotline, so good in fact that I get to be lazy and just ctrl+c:

John Hancock, an alcoholic, irritable, and burnt-out superhero who technically protects Los Angeles from every day criminals. As the film begins, he more or less accidentally stops the escape of a car full of robbers, and in the process destroys countless buildings, sections of the freeway, and vehicles.

Right, Drunk superhero, destroys more than he protects. Just what the trailer said. Moving Along:

Meanwhile, our other lead, Ray (Jason Bateman) is also on the outs – he’s a PR rep who wants to save the world, not his client’s bottom line. As luck would have it, Hancock saves Ray from near death when his car gets stuck on the train tracks, and to repay him, Ray decides to take Hancock as a new client, working to repair his image. Ray takes Hancock home to meet his family: a young son, and his beautiful wife (Charlize Theron), who is automatically suspicious of Hancock’s intentions.

Her suspicion can clue the attentive watcher on what is going on. While the newer trailer spills the beans on the secret that Hancock carries with him, it doesnt really hint much towards what that secret is. A smart move on the studio's part, although I'm not too sure where I sit with this. The secret changes the story's ultimate meaning, as well as the ultimate significance of Hancock as a character, not only in the movie itself, but in our ass-fucked little world. The twist hints at a higher calling for superheros, and forces you to consider them as angels, or god. To get really heady, the movie ultimately forces you to evaluate what your own damn role in this world is.

I'v heard mixed reviews of how this plot 'twist' has made people feel, but me personally, i liked it. As Sim said

at the end of the day, the film is about all three characters, not just Hancock.

And the necessary change in the story line not only adds substance to an otherwise vapid film, it ultimately makes the movie what it is.

I would recommend it if youre bored on a tuesday, if you want to see drunk people fly, and if youre an arrested development fan who wants to see Jason Bateman do his thing, or if you've seen everything else already. If you own a t.v. the size of Tecas, you may as well just wait for DVD.


Wanted

Did you see Crank? Did you love it? cuz if you did, then youre gonna flip over backwards and piss yourself in excitement over Wanted. A Dick Flick at heart, this movie packs an awesome punch with hot women (or woman, really), secret soceities, Morgan Freeman, car chases, explosions, even rats with bombs on their backs.

Really, though, the special effects make this movie. I mean, bullet rewinds, rats that crawl up peanut butter covered tracks into a dump truck by the thousands, bending bullets?? You know that shit's not real. Still, its pulled off very well.

For the Post-Production afficionados out there, I can say that there was some wonderful post work in this movie. Colors, effects, lighting, were all near perfect, but you really shouldnt expect anything less from big budget hollywood.

To sum it up, let me say this: It is not often that I go to a movie and say "That was fun, lets do it again" when the credits start rolling. This time I did just that.

Oh, and one of my fav NIN songs is in the movie. I couldnt find it online for download. but here's a vid.


Love me. Sing my praises.

Movie: Rocknrolla

A good friend sent me this preview today. I had never heard of it or seen anything about it until she did.

Rocknrolla, slated to come out some time in 2008 is an Empire film production starring (to name a few)Gerard Butler, Gemma Arterton, Jeremy Piven, Thandie Newton, Tom Wilkinson and Ludacris.

According to Wikipedia, the premise is:
When a Russian mobster sets up a real estate scam that generates millions of pounds, various members of London's criminal underworld pursue their share of the fortune.

The preview makes it out to have something to do with a painting, which they mention like 37 times in the 3 minute trailer. Yet another movie i need to get a screener pass for.

Hummm, How to make this happen?
