Blog Update

I stop by my own blog every day to see what’s going on. This isn’t some crazy way to say I’m nuts and I’m expecting there to be an update when I haven’t updated, but I stop by to see how many hits I’ve had and what pages are currently the most viewed.

It’s amazing to me how many hits I’m getting lately, especially for what people are searching for. My movie reviews have been hot lately, and I don’t know why. I mean, I know my reviews are awesome, because I write them. And since they’re of my opinion and my opinion rocks, it all makes sense.

But where are these people coming from? Hey, hey you, where are you coming from?

I’m delighted that I’m getting more views and I thank you all for stopping by. I’m not sure why you continue to come back, but I appreciate it.

I’d like to send a special shout out to a new follower of the blog, Klangspektrum, who has two awesome blogs (one in English and one in German) and a love for Pink Floyd, which I share. Thanks for stopping by Klangspektrum, I’ve checked out your site and loved it. Of course anything Pink Floyd I’ll love.

With that said, thanks for the visits and the support. I’ll try to bitch more in the upcoming days, but things have been slow inside my head lately. But I do have some more horrible movies to watch and review, so at least you viewers have that to look forward to.

Movie Review: Mutant Chronicles

Oh dear God how did this come to be? I have witnessed yet another movie that was worse than the worst movie I’ve ever seen.

The worst movie I’ve ever seen was Night Train To Terror. I own it. I had to. I wanted in my collection the worst movie ever made.

And now I’ve seen two movies that were worse than that, and Mutant Chronicles is one of the two. I can’t remember the other, but it was the same type of movie, a SyFy channel movie, only I lasted longer in the other movie than this one before shutting it off prematurely.

To sum up the movie, I’ll begin with one of the single worst opening monologues of all time, word for word.

At the end of the Ice Age the machine came. It came from outside. It came from space. It came with one purpose, to change man into mutant.

Yeah, and I’m pretty sure Ron Perlman is reading that. And it’s SO HORRIBLE, which fits, because the movie is just as horrible.

And it has fucking Hellboy in it! How can anything with Hellboy be bad? I just don’t get it.

"I'll never be in a bad chump-change movie again!"

"DAMMIT!"

This kind of shit is being turned into movies and I’m still unpublished.

By the first commercial break fifteen minutes into the movie, I was wondering if the movie was ever going to get started, and then I realized I had bypassed watching it to write this.

There was only one good thing I got to see in the twenty five minutes I actually watched of the movie, and it was their over abundance of blood. People dying were doing so with a splash. Blood at every turn.

How bad was this movie? It fucked even that up. I love that much blood, but it has to be somewhat realistic. If someone gets his head chopped off and fifty gallons of blood spews out of his neck hole, SURE that’s not going to really happen, BUT people can bleed profusely out of their neck holes. So it’s somewhat realistic.

In this movie, the mutants have giant spear-like arms with no hands, just a sharp ass spear, and they’re stabbing guys through the bodies with them. Mostly around the neck and head area. One guy gets cut twice, like as if with a knife, just-a-flesh-wound-cut, on his face. Apparently it’s not only bad enough to kill him, but he immediately vomits a gallon of blood in between getting slashed and dying. And then a guy gets stabbed through the head and brain with one of these arm spears and he, too, vomits a gallon of blood.

I’m no doctor, but I’m pretty sure that would never happen. Ever. Thanks for the blood, but it’s unrealistic in EVERY way. I need for it to only be unrealistic in one or two ways.

And then I heard Mr. Ron “Hellboy” Perlman (I’ll never forget you were Hellboy Ron! NEVER!) speaking some more horrible lines about “THERE’S ALWAYS HOPE!” and trying his damnedest to act his way through the horrible script, but he couldn’t do it. I’m glad he kind of picked it back up in Conan (at least he wasn’t too bad in it) but damn, can’t we get a third Hellboy? I guess I’ll just have to wait for the fall for Sons of Anarchy. At least I know I can count on that.

Oh shit, I almost forgot. I give this movie NOTHING out of 10 stars because I couldn’t even finish it.

New Site

Ladies and gents, please feel free to check out my newest site, Spew Puke.

That’s right, it’s a picture/video blog showcasing people losing their lunch. It’s something I’ve been working on for almost a decade now and finally I’ve found a good place to put it.

So if you’re not the squeamish type and think you can handle the disgusting, check it out!

Call Center Suckage

Some of you may know, I work in a call center. We take orders for people who want to order the products we sell. In some instances we call people, but for the most part they call us. My current problem is with those people who call us.

I had a call today where the guy told me “I don’t want to listen to your spiel, I just want to place this order and go. I got things to do.”

All I wanted to say to him was, “You called me. If you got things to do then do them, don’t call me talking about how much time you got.”

What the fuck is wrong with people? Others complain about the same thing. Another problem we have is people who don’t want to use their credit card over the phone, afraid we’re going to use their card to rack up tons of charges. Well if you don’t want to use your credit card, for one, don’t fucking have a credit card, and two, DON’T FUCKING CALL US.

I just don’t get it. This world is full of idiots, so why do they have to call us? We’re not calling and harassing them, they’re calling us. I swear I’m going to lose my job one day when I’ve had enough of their shit and I go off on one of them. Seriously. I have a limited amount of “deal” that can go around. Once I can’t deal with that shit anymore, the gloves come off.

We also have people who call us to prank us. You see, the number one product we sell is a male enhancement tablet. I won’t say which one, but you can imagine the types of prank calls we get.

Well guess what pranksters, there’s nothing we haven’t heard before, you’re not original. Don’t do it. All you’re doing is wasting my time, but more importantly, your own.

If you’re going to prank call us, at least try to be original and/or funny. My latest prankster started off like the rest of them. He asked questions about the product. I could tell right away he was a prankster because the questions are all the same. “Is it going to give me a giant cock?” Real original dipshit.

Like with all the pranksters, I answer every question perfectly. This guy in particular couldn’t handle that his prank wasn’t working so he became flustered and finally ended the call with “WELL FUCK YOU THEN MOTHER FUCKER!”

Wow, way to lose it like a champ. I could hear his buddies behind him laughing, probably at him for being such a douche. I just shook my head and hung up the call.

You see pranksters, I used to be a juvenile as well and I used to make prank calls. Mine were epic, not used and old. But even then I would have never thought to call a male enhancement order line to make a prank call, because even at 13 years old I knew that had been played. These assholes calling me to prank me have got to be my age, still juveniles though, and are unoriginal.

For the love of God, if you’re reading this and you’re one of these people, do us all a favor and take your own life. You’re obviously not right in the head and you probably have issues that stretch out farther than just calling us with your idiocy. You’re an unproductive member of society and you’re a waste of the flesh you’re printed on. End it all now.

Movie Review: The Legend of Chun-Li

I just caught this movie on TV and was thankful for the outrageous amounts of commercial breaks it had.

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li was more of a bad movie with some Street Fighter references thrown in than it was a good movie about anything. Chun-Li witnesses her father being kidnapped by bad guys, run by M. Bison. She grows up pissed off and eventually decides to kick ass.

She goes on to beat the crap out of a lot of guys in some decent enough fighting scenes, although in some parts you can damn near see the ropes holding her up while she does her flips.

Bison is using her dad to run his business, and he uses his daughter’s (Chun-Li) well-being to get his services. As long as her dad cooperates, she’ll be fine. Naturally she has other plans.

Eventually she runs into Liu Kang, ahem, I mean Gen, a dude who teaches her how to be a better fighter. Much like the plot, the story and the character development, little time is given to show the process.

Eventually she finds M. Bison and kicks his ass and then kills him in a very anti-climatic fight. She doesn’t get her father back, though, as Bison had already killed him right in front of her.

The only acting I can say was worth a damn came from Michael Clarke Duncan who plays Balrog, whom you might remember from the second Street Fighter game. Another notable appearance was made by Vega, who seemed to be badass but was easily beaten by Chun-Li. Once again, not enough time in character development.

The rest of the cast was sub-par, although they did well enough, except for Chris Klein who played a cop named Nash, who sucked hard. Klein deserved to be in the movie, though, because it was a direct to video low budget movie and that’s exactly where he belongs.

To make his part better they could have used a much better actor, like Steven Weber, or Shaq. Instead they got what they paid for.

All in all it was a decent movie, but it told nothing of any legend, let alone Chun-Li’s. It was just a back story. The girl they got to play Chun-Li, Kristin Kreuk, wasn’t even right for the part. Chun-Li, as far as the video game is concerned, was a fit, but sexy chick with a chip on her shoulder and some nice thick legs. In the movie, they couldn’t have got a skinnier girl to play the role. Compare.

They don’t even look alike. Kristin Kreuk is hot enough even though I really can’t stand bean pole women, but look at her. She doesn’t even look like Chun-Li, who is quite obviously a cartoon. But damn, couldn’t they have gotten someone with a better set of legs? Like her?

Now THAT’S a Chun-Li I could get behind. Speaking of Chun-Li’s thick legs, I saw this and thought it was funny.

Hell, I could even go with that chick. At least she’s in the proper garb.

All in all, I didn’t mind watching the movie and I’ve seen a lot worse, but as far as recommending it, I really don’t think I can. So if you decide to watch it, do so at your own risk. Just make sure you have absolutely nothing, and I really mean nothing, better to do.

I give this movie 4 stars out of 10.

New GM

In all the years I’ve been writing, one of the things I used to write about for a Professional Wrestling news site, was indeed the sport, or sports entertainment, of Pro Wrestling.

I grew up a fan, watching it as far back as I can remember with my father. On the weekends we would go to his father’s house and we would watch it there with my Grandfather and my Uncles. It was something I was born into.

At 18 I took classes to become a Pro Wrestler, which unfortunately never transpired. More recently for a span of almost 2 years I provided play by play commentary for a local independent Wrestling circuit in Dayton, OH for their TV broadcasts and DVD’s.

Quite frankly, I love Wrestling.

For the last year I haven’t been able to watch Wrestling, and for the most part I really didn’t care to. To be honest, it has sucked since the WWE bought out everything and decided to run a monopoly on the business. Being forced to watch their ever-growing-stale product really pissed me off. With no competition, the product didn’t have to excel and it suffered.

So the good times were scattered amidst a ton of bad times. What to do, what to do. I decided to give TNA a chance and for the longest time they were dominating the WWE, but they decided to hire one of the worst people to ever work in the business to run their show. Goodbye ratings, good product and my viewership.

Recently, I’ve been able to watch Wrestling again so I bypassed TNA at the request of a friend of mine and stuck with old faithful, WWE. I’m glad to be watching Wrestling again, but only as much as I haven’t seen it in a while.

Now that I’m basically caught up again, I’d like to speak on one thing the WWE is now doing, and that is the GM situation.

Basically, Raw has no GM and is using an interim GM named John Laurinaitis and Smackdown still has Teddy Long running things. I’ve never really cared for Teddy Long, and Laurinaitis reminds me too much of JBL to give more than a shit’s worth of interest in him.

Now they’re fighting to see who will not only control one of the two shows, but both as GM. Wrestlemania, which I do hope to view this year, will host a match that will determine the fate of the two shows. Each man gets to pick several of the wrestlers to represent them in this match, and the winning team will give the power to that particular man to run both shows.

Personally, I hope neither wins, but I know that can’t happen. Since there are no other options of who should run the show (and quite frankly the GM is obviously just a gimmick position and I think they should try to run things for a while with no GM in charge of either, but my opinions don’t matter so much) I think that I would rather see Teddy Long running both shows.

Typically, I tend to find the heel the much more entertaining entity in the world of Pro Wrestling, but in this case I think both shows would do so much better with a face GM in charge. Things tend to be more entertaining all the way around when a face GM is in charge. Typically with a heel you get a ton of BS and the world of Pro Wrestling could do with a little less of that right now, but with the WWE, you should expect a ton of it.

For now, I’m happy to be watching Wrestling again, and I may even continue to write about it. I used to love doing it, and think I could continue to love doing it. The only problem with that is, in order to be an efficient writer, I’d have to consume as much as I could, and that would include watching TNA and Ring of Honor, which I just discovered is on TV. Again, quite frankly I could do without TNA and ROH isn’t really happening for me either. Who knows? The writing bug is definitely in me, and this could be the release I need.

With all of that crap out of the way, are any of my readers fans of Pro Wrestling?

Movie Review: Taking Woodstock

I finally got around to watching Taking Woodstock and while I wasn’t really in the mood to watch it, I had nothing better to do so I gave it a shot.

Since I wasn’t really in the mood to watch it I felt that the beginning of the movie was sort of slow. It was good, and it’s telling the “true” back story to how Woodstock got on its feet and it’s pretty informative and it is interesting to see how it all took place. But as I said, I wasn’t in the mood for this movie at this time, so it seemed slow to me.

I was watching it on the USA Network, so I was catching the TV version of the movie, although I was getting the gist of everything, and that’s all TV versions of movies are, aren’t they? The “gist” of the real thing.

Anyway, the movie tells the story of how the music concert phenomenon Woodstock came to be, but more so, the story of the guy who caused it.

It’s an interesting movie and one I would recommend if you’re interested in Woodstock at all. Otherwise, you might want to pass it.

I give this movie 5 of 10 stars.

5 Things You Think About (While Taking A Crap)

First of all, for shits and giggles (no pun intended), I still say you’re not taking the crap anywhere, you’re leaving it somewhere. But for all intents and purposes, we’ll keep up with today’s slang of taking your junk and leaving it in someone else’s trunk.

I’m sure all men who take their craps think about a million different things. After all, this is their alone time. Even for a hermit who loves to see people like New Orleans loves to see a hurricane, taking a shit is still their alone time. It’s when all men sit down on their throne, and embark on many adventures inside their head.

Women, on the other hand, I know nothing about. I polled no women for this post. So who knows, maybe they think of these things as well.

For men, however, here is a list of five of the millions of things they think about while on the john, at any given time.


5. Writing a blog piece about shitting


I was sitting on the throne the other day and I came up with this idea. I mean, how many times has this topic been taken on? I’m sure not many.

I actually think about this one a lot because the idea is a good one, but I don’t want to fuck it up, you know? So I think a lot about it. Naturally this means I shit a lot. These are all true things.

Sometimes I go take a shit just so I can think about this one blog post. I know, I must not have a lot going on in my life if I schedule shits in my day just so I can write about this topic once. What can I say? I’m dedicated.


4. Writing a series of blog pieces


You can go to some blogs where this particular thing happens a lot. Like the Stuph Blog, for example. They have a whole series of posts there that come directly from the throne. Check those out. You’ll get a whole lot of direct-from-the-source examples of exactly what men think about while taking a shit.


3. Sports


Let’s face it, the game is on, you’ve eaten a ton of game-day snacks, and after the final buzzer has sounded and everyone has gone home, those spicy nachos and BBQ mini-wieners are coming back with a vengeance. You head to the head and you begin delivering your children to the pool. The only thing on your mind? How much your ass is burning. What do you do? You compare it to the game you just watched.

Two different things can be said in this time, depending on how the game turned out.

Your team won: “Oh God my ass! At least my team won!”
Your team lost: “Oh God my ass! It sucks just as much as my team!”

Even if you don’t talk to yourself in the bathroom, you’re still going to be thinking about the game, and chances are good you’re going to be comparing it. Don’t judge me, I’m not the only one.


2. The Water Bill


If things have gone well, you’ll probably have to flush several times. Now, you may be thinking that things can also go horribly wrong and you’ll need a courtesy flush or two just to get through it, and I understand that. It just all depends on how you decipher the term “gone well”.

I don’t mind a courtesy flush in public restrooms because the owner of the restroom is covering the water bill. Hell, I don’t even mind them at home so much just for the cooling breeze caused by the swirling water beneath my ass, helping to soothe the inferno BM caused by the dozen hot wings I just shoveled into my gullet. Now I know where the prestige of owning a bidet comes from.

But that water usage at home can add up. So what do you do? One thing’s for sure, don’t stick a brick in your toilet’s reservoir. Experts have said that’s not good for the normal operations of your toilet. Basically, with less water you have less pressure, and less pressure means your shit isn’t being swept away like it should be, which could potentially lead to backups. And do you really want your shit backing up?

So don’t worry about that bill. It’s gotta get paid one way or the other. Go ahead and courtesy flush yourself to ecstasy. Nobody is going to stop you.


1. Their out of control dreams


Every man does this. They get their ten minutes to be alone with their thoughts, and they come up with some amazing shit. Again, no pun intended.

Also, you can take shorter or longer in the bathroom, I used ten minutes as an average. I typically take half hour shits, just to make sure everything comes out nicely. That and I really enjoy my alone time.

Besides, I have a ton of crazy dreams to go through. What if I had a different job? What if I had made different choices in my life? What am I going to do when I win the lottery? What kind of cars would I like in my collection? How many acres of land would I purchase? How big would I want my swimming pool? What if I built a space ship resembling the Heart Of Gold and could travel to the furthest regions of space and be the first person to discover alien life?

The thoughts, the questions, the dreams are endless. Every man does this. Hell, I’m sure even women do this one. But whatever the case, chances are good that your mind is going while you’re shitting. You have that time to yourself, so why not multi-task?

With all of this said, what do you think about most while shitting?

Movie Review: Demon Knight

This movie has only been out since 1996 or so, but it’s one of the greatest movies ever. This isn’t so much a review as it is a homage.

This movie came out when I was 16 and for some reason I felt the need to see it. I think it was because I was such a huge Tales From The Crypt fan.

I went to my local mall theater and bought a ticket and sat down to watch one of the greatest movies I had ever seen up to that point. I didn’t even find it odd that they sold a ticket to me, considering you had to be 18 to see it.

I went back with some friends and watched it again. Once again, getting tickets when we were only 16.

I told some other friends at school about it and we planned to go on a Friday night. That night, one of the two friends had his parents take us all up to the mall, including his own younger brother and his brother’s friend.

The parents and the younger brother with his friend got to the ticket window and purchased tickets to the movie. The parents weren’t going in to watch, they were going shopping. We got to the window and we were denied tickets because we weren’t 18. We walked around the entire mall trying to find my buddy’s parents. Eventually we did and they went back to the ticket window with us. They were going to buy us tickets for the next showing, but it was sold out and it was the last showing.

The parents left and we purchased tickets to another movie that had already started and were going to sneak into Demon Knight. For the first time ever, the theater had people checking tickets at the individual theaters.

Depressed, we sat down in our own theater and unhappily watched Stargate. Every now and then one of us would get up and check and eventually halfway through the movie the guy checking tickets at the door was gone. We decided since the movie was half over it would be pointless, so we finished our movie and went home, pissed.

Overall I got to see the movie 6 times in the theater, the most times I’ve ever seen any movie in the theater. I just didn’t get to see it that one night.

As soon as it came out on video I bought a copy and watched it dozens of times. How could I not? It features some of the best actors in roles that seemed to be designed just for them. William Sadler, Jada Pinkett Smith and Thomas Haden Church as well as everyone else all put on a great performance, just like Billy Zane who dominates the screen with his own.

There’s Billy from the movie, just before he slices open his hand with a giant nail on his other hand and a green liquid seeps out of it onto the ground, where demons emerge from the bubbling puddles of ooze.

It was his performance in Demon Knight that made me a huge fan of his. He even made Titanic not so bad. He treated Rose exactly how she deserved to be treated. Awesome.

There should have been a sequel to the movie (Demon Knight, not Titanic), except there never was one. Tales From The Crypt did put out another movie called Bordello Of Blood, but it wasn’t nearly as good as Demon Knight, and as far as I know, Tales never put out another movie.

As it stands, though, Demon Knight will always be one of my favorites. I’m not sure how it didn’t make it to my Top 10 list, but never mind that, if you haven’t seen it, check it out. You’re sure to love it, especially if you love demons ruining people’s shit. And Billy Zane.

One of my favorite scenes from the movie, featuring Thomas Haden Church and Billy Zane.

I give this movie 10 of 10 stars because it rocks.
