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
