Something to think about

"A woman can never be considered to be a genuine "player" because it generally requires very little or no effort at all on a woman's part to recieve attention from and/or have sexual relations with a man. Conversely, it is exceedingly more difficult for a man to accomplish the same feat with a woman, largely due to the inherent social/historical structure of the courtship process. Consequently, men are lauded for their comparative accomplishment--a cunning display of wit, charisma and sexual dominance--while a women may exhibit little more than inane promiscuity to achieve the same result, subsequently drawing scorn for being shamelessly "loose" and "easy". Concordantly, the overwhelming majority of these self-proclaimed female "players" are, in fact, little more than audacious whores. "

Somewhere Jackie Christie is saying "I told you so!"

Aw, Kobe.

You dumb muthafucker!

Your wife is fine. What is wrong with you?

I'm mad at you.

Because when the story of your arrest first broke out and you finally spoke out to the L.A. Times you said:
"You guys know me, I shouldn't have to say anything. You know I would never do something like that."

Then, after you get charged, you admit to adultery.

Um, the Kobe I know would never cheat on his fine-ass wife.

So you have got some 'splainin' to do, homey.

And all the sports fans who are all the sudden experts in rape. I listen to ESPN radio and some of these callers are insane. They are thisclose to saying, "You know this bitch wanted it and she's trying to set up Kobe".

You are innocent before proven guilty BUT give this girl a break.

Give her her day in court. The DA of Eagle County thought enough to give it to her.

The sad thing is, if this woman was black, we would not be having any of these conversations.

We would assume she was a gold digger.

Such is life.

Breasts

Is God a man or a woman?

Who knows but I am sure of one things...

The Breast factor should be considered in the debate.

Has anyone done a study on the effect of breasts on the male psyche?

They are every heterosexual males' kryptonite.

If an opposing army of naked, moderately in-shape woman came charing us with guns, we would lose..easily.

I wonder if lesbains feel the same way hetero males feel about breats or does having your own set take away some of the obsession.

Ladies, if you are talking to man and you don't catch him checking out your breats, give him you munber.

You don't have a grasp for how hard he was trying.

Ok...I owe y'all some reviews but first, a MAJOR annoucement.

After much negotiation, I have gotten THE SITH PIMP to return to melanism.com

I've convinced him to continue his writings-Blog style.

On to the reviews...

The Hulk



I was debating for a while whether to give this three stars or not because I DID like the movie a lot.

Yes, the Hulk looked fake but what people who were bitching forgot about is it is not so much about how he looks but how he interacts with the environment and betweeb Hulk vs. Gamma Dogs and Hulk vs. Army. Those scenes are worth the price of admission alone.

BUT...

As far as seeing the Hulk do what we wanted to see him do, there is very few of that.

This is film

An Ang Lee Film

And Universal studios went to great length to make sure you knew that without realizing this what this entails in the commercials and advertisments.

This is more about the characters than the big green machine but the one thing that drove me crazy with Ang Lee films, that I learned after watching this, is his movies have a theme and he pounds it into you relentlessly throughtout the movie.

Yes, I know this movie is "the sins of the father" being passed down to the children.

It was too long. and the end was too rushed.

But I still enjoyed it.


28 Days Later



Let me get this out of the way.

This movie is not scary.

Not scary in the sense of The Ring or The Blair Witch Project (if that movie scared you)

This is the best DV movie I have seen thus far where the fact that it was shot on DV enhanced it.

I can't see this movie being done Hollywood-style.

This movie was more intense than scary. I was genuinely worried about the characters because they were more developed than you expect in a movie like this.

Yes, the ending was kind off and there were scenes of "What are you thinking?" but it did not bother me in the least.

The Hulk

Well...

I liked it but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.

It's one of those movies you like bu then you think about your friends seeing it them sayoing how much it sucked and how could you like it and blah blah blah.

So while I liked it for ME, for you it may suck.

Think about this..

While Marvel is thriving in the movie arena....

Warner Bros were heavily pursuing Josh Harnett to be in a Superman helmed by McG?!?!

The Batman franchise may be saved now that they have decided to follow Marvel's cue and go with respected indie directors like Darrewn Aronofsky and Christopher Nolan. And the talks of Guy Pearce as Batman/Bruce Wayne are kind of encouraging (as long as he's willing to dye his hair)

But then I read that Warner Brothers is thinking about ASHTON FUCKING KUSHTER!?!?

Sigh...

Warner Brothers is looking to return DC Movies to the dark ages again.
Oh Ang Lee, what have you done with The Hulk?

I'll have my review tonight/tomorrow.

For The Radiohead fans
Paperbag Writer is one of the B-sides to the "There There" single. Yes, they still make singles.

Enjoy.

A couple of Days until The Hulk

People are reluctant to see this movie

If I was Universal, i would be worried.

I am sure The Hulk is a good movie but is it a marketable movie.

Let's look at the facts:

1) People don't like the CGI. Even if the CGI is as amazing as I think it will be (no one spends three months doing CGI alone and it ends up totally shitty). That Super Bowl commercial with an incomplete Hulk was Bad Idea Jeans

2) The Hulk television show is working against this movie HARD. I think this has been greatly underestimated. Especially with women who are borderline. Women whom I have talked to who are not interested in seeing the movie are comparign it to the television show they grew up watching. They have absolutely NO idea that the show is nothing like the comic book the movie is based on.

3) There is nothing sexy about The Hulk. No sexy romance (ala Peter and Mary Jane & Matt and Elektra). Again, another strike that might keep the ladies away.

We shall see. I hope this movie does $200 million at least. It would suck if this movie tanked (anything less than 200 million for a 150 million is a bust)

I FINALLY updated the Music page.

Go listen to and buy what I tell you to.

You know, in my non-updating of this place...I haven't really talked about the summer movies, i have seen thus far.

X2: X-Men United


A great movie. Was boring a little stretch but I had few complaints. This showed that the first X-Men flick was just a set-up.

The Matrix Reloaded


If you asked me a day after the movie came out, I would have given it four stars for the freeway scene alone. If you asked me after I saw it the second time, I would have given it two and a half bceause of the boring ass scenes in Zion and my brief obsession with how pompous a character Morpheus really is (Can this guy engage in any conversation without sounding like Othelo?). But as time has gone by, I have settled on three stars because of my appreciation for the story and twists that I am still wrapping my head around. How far does the rabbit hole go indded?

Finding Nemo


The visual presentation by Pixars always top-notch. You go in expecting no less. But how come the writers at Pixar so much better than the writers at Disney. That is what they should be wholly concerned about losing. Disney these days cannot not create a viable character. On a side note, this movie was intense at moments and I heard a child in the back scared to the point of tears. Ellen Degeneres is the best.

The Eye


Granted I missed the first 25 minutes of the movie. It was more intense at times than scary but I must say this, i hate the score during romantic moment s in Asian films. When it's suposed to be scary tjhe music, while overwhelming, is fine but in those dramatic moments, it's horrible and really takes away from the movie. That being said, the scene in the elevator was great. It will be interesting to see the inevitable American remake (the rights have altready been secure by Tom Cruise production company)

So far that's all that I have seen this summer. Next up, The Hulk. I will be back to talk about the assholes bitching about the CGI

Scary thing I learned this week...

I'm sure somebody knew this already

But I was watching TV this weekend and on E! that has this "Child Stars of the 80's" crap so I watched for a little bit and they talked about Head of the Class and what some of them are up to.

They got to the girl who played Maria



Leslie Bega...

For some reason that name sounded familiar to me.

HOLY SHIT!!!

That was the BANGIN' girl who played Valencia in Sopranos..

THIS Valencia

I guess I don't read my Maxim articles...like I should

Daredevil review (alternate title: I Wish I Was Blind Too)

The Good:

Colin Farrell as Bullseye: Does this surprise anyone? The man is a great actor and even though he is hamming it up, the movie is 10X better with him on the screen than without it

Jon Favreau as Foggy Nelson: Comic relief done to perfection. Maybe the writet-director should stick to comedies.

Daredevil's sonar: I thought this was by far the best thing about the movie from a comic book fans perspective. To see how Daredevil sees was cool as shit adn it is a shame they didn't use it enough.



Bullseye vs. Elektra: Nice attempt to recreate the defining battle in Daredevil.

Daredevil vs. Bullseye: Colin Farrell at his best.

Kingpin's intro: We got a good laugh out of Kingpin being introduced to N.E.R.D's "Lap Dance"

The Beautiful:

Jennifer Garner as Elektra: Just stunning. There is this one dress he has on that even I said "God Damn"


The Bad:

The Story/Movie/Character Development: Aside from Daredevil, all fo these characters were woefully underdeveloped. It was as if they decided to do a movie about Daredevil and would just include the only good villians he has and say "go". Even if I wasn't a reader of Daredevil (which I am going to have to read a bunch of to recover from this movie). Kingpin was hardly used and they didn't use the "body mass is completely muscle angle" which would have shown Daredevil get his ass kicked a little more. I was just disappointed that this movie came from a guy who said he grew up on Daredevil.

The Hideous:

Secret Identity: Matt Murdock was pretty careful about maintaining his secret identity but in this movie: He engages in playful open combat with Elektra as Matt Murdock. By the end of the movie, Kingpin, Elektra and Ben Urich know he's Daredevil

Spider-Devil?: Now, if they had included Matt's training with Stick, even via brief flashback, MAYBE I could acept that Daredevil could leap off buildings and shit like Spider-Man. But they didn't, so I don't. Elektra either. Her sire-fu moves were worse than Ethan hunt in MI:2

Ben Affleck: He wasn't in shape. and I know I am nitpicking now but fuck it. If you are supposed to be a superhero who fights crime every night, even if you didn't lift a fight, that is some cardiovascular work out for your ass. He should be in shape. I know Daredevil doesn't have superhuman strength but I know Daredevil ain't an average joe in a leather suit. He didn't have to be diesal but at least get a little ripped man. Me and my boy were like does "Daredevil have a little gut?"

Wrapup: So basically, as much as I wnated to like this movie, I couldn't. If I didn't read the comic, this movie would be decent. Maybe. I would have still wanted more.

The Hulk is Here



Watch the trailer Super Bowl Sunday...Amazing

Tuesday, January 21, 2003

So the Super Bowl is set...

The only sports event where women can determine the winner based on their color scheme.

The only sports event where you will hear "Hurry up, the commmericals are coming on..."

Anyway, it's the Raiders vs. the Bucaneers a.k.a. The Pirate Bowl a.k.a. The Gruden Bowl.

I'm picking the Bucs to win.

Because if everyone is right about The Raiders unstoppable offense, this is going to be a boring Super Bowl.

I think if the Bucs can slow the Raiders offense (or throw them for a loop like they did the Eagles), it will be a good game.

Of course, if the Raiders completely destroy the Bucs, I will erase this entry from my website.

The beauty of a blogspot.

Monday, January 06, 2003



So, i was sitting in the parking lot of IKEA waiting for my friends and I reluctantly turned on the radio to hear the Giants score.

It was 14-14. Then, all of the sudden, The Giants reeled off two quick TDs to make it 28-14. I turned the radio off.

When we were driving back to Harlem, I turned on the radio and it was 38-14. I turned it off again.

So when we were parked in front of my friend's apartment, i turned the radio on to see if it was over.

38-30.

Right there, i almost lost my mind.

I knew we were going to lose.

I knew it.

When Matt Bryant missed that first FG in the fourth quarterm, I knew he couldn't hit the game winner.

What a bunch of screw-ups.

That first half was the greatest offense half the New York Giants have ever played. They looked like the fucking Cowboys. Unstoppable.

I will stop crying now but I am as ashamed as anyone short of Jim Fassel can be for being a Giants fan.

And I will end it on this note.

Jason Sehorn Must Die
