What do you mean stole the scenes?

I'd love to go to Wrigley, there and Camden Yards.

Existenz was awesome, man.

Does anyone even play Portal?

It's funny, people, especially PC gamers on the internet, like to shit on Halo because they think it's watered-down gaming, but they've never played it. Bungie has more credibility than most designers out there because of their work on the Marathon games, but the people who act like they are hardcore gamers and hate on Halo for it's popularity don't know that because they didn't start playing games until the second millennium. I'm not even a Halo player, but I recognize a good game when I see it.

The Pats will destroy the Cowboys, there is no doubt. And what they did was hardly cheating, every team does it, the Pats just got caught. There was no way that video could have been used to affect the game being played at the time, so even though it was techically against the rules it did not give them any advantage DURING the game, so it's not really cheating. Even if they COULD have used it to decipher signs DURING the game (impossible), teams always change their signs mid-game. And again, the Pats are not the only ones who have done that. And, you thought a girl could get pregnant by swallowing cum you fuckin' loser.

Brain Age seems pretty cool. My brother went to buy a 360 today and every place we went was sold out of the regular, $350 version, and all that they had left were the Halo3 collector's version. So he bought one of those. They actually look fucking awesome, I thought they would be ridiculous with a big picture of Master Chief or a giant Halo3 logo, but they are slick, metal-green looking things that are very minimal, and with metal-green controllers. I'm actually kind of jealous because they put the white X-Box to shame. I saw some kid playing Halo3 single-player at the store and it looks sick, I'm definitely going to get it. It reminded me of Marathon 2 more than any of the other Halo games. Marathon was Bungie's first game, made only for the Mac in the mid-90's, and Marathon 2 was their masterpiece. The level design gave me a video-game flashback. mindvapors: If you're ever in Framingham down Route 9, check out Games Universe (1210 Boylston St. I believe). It's about two miles past the Natick Mall on Rt. 9 West, just past the Rt. 30 bridge, in the basement of a mini-stripmall. It's a pretty awesome, rugged independent store with tons of used games from the 2600 to the Genesis to the Dreamcast, every system you can think of. They have a bunch of tournaments there, too, but I'm betting those are nerd central.

So far the first three episodes have been pretty awesome, although I just hope they don't stretch certain shit (the Mexicans, Peter's amnesia, Hiro's trip to the past, anything having to do with Sylar) out too long. I think they should have killed Sylar off for good, I fucking hate him. He's too evil. I hope that all he does is suffer in this show because I hate seeing him kill poor, defenseless people. I hope that he doesn't regain any of his powers. I hope he dies a horrible death by like, episode 6. I also think that the samurai-white guy might actually be the invisible bum that helped Peter out in the first season, because he can't be killed so maybe he is actually immortal, since in the first season the guy was talking about how many he has trained before Peter. It's a stretch, but it would be pretty cool. The shit with Mohander, the cop, and Clair's dad going undercover has potential, and tonight's episode with the painting at the end was awesome. I think Claire's new uber-douche boyfriend will try, and maybe succeed, in killing her dad.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, totally wrong. You have no appreciation for fine cinema. And you see his balls only in one scene, not 10 times. I don't enjoy seeing testicles or penis on screen, but in this case it actually added to the intensity of the scene and underscored just how rotten and dirty the Chechnya mobsters were, by trying to kill a man who is completely unarmed, aka naked. Honestly, if a cock-shot ruins a movie for you, then you might want to consider coming out of the closet, because if it affects you that much, it means that you are being overly-homophobic, which quite possibly makes you gay and just trying to hide/deny it. Oh, and the Willard remake wasn't THAT bad, it's kind of a good movie if it's 2 in the morning and it comes on cable.

Oh, it also won Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing in the 1972 Academy Awards. Also nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound. Also won Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director at the Golden Globes.

So I just watched "The French Connection" and it was fucking awesome. Stars Gene Hackmen and James Woods look-a-like Roy Scheider. It was the film that William Friedkin directed just before he did "The Exorcist". Only thing was that the ending was a little anti-climactic. But the car chase scene, holy shit. Fucking best car chase scene ever.

Yup, which is why MMORPGs are generally teh suck. It's not so much RPG as it is social ladder climbing with ogres and swords.

First, the Sox will most likely beat the Indians. Cleveland's a good team, but the Sox are better and everyone is healthy. The Sox steam-rolled the Angels like they were nothing, outscoring them 19-4. Cleveland pretty much PWNED the Yankees, but the Yankees at least got a fair amount of runs in. The Sox will win, because we have Beckett and Schilling, and if Dice-K is playing his A-game (2-3 runs allowed) and the Sox can put up the same offense numbers they've been putting up, we will win no doubt. Second, the Yankees suck and they are fucking boring. There is nothing exciting about that team, and they were completely dismantled by the Indians. Thank GOD. I am so fucking tired and bored of seeing the Yankees in the post-season. I'm not jealous, because we won the division and we won in 2004. I'm not filled with hatred, although I do hate the Yankees. I'm just bored of them. They are an unexciting franchise, completely predictable. And now they got fucked, and good. Third, Boston is "completely boring" now that there is no more curse? Spoken by a kid who has never been to Fenway Park. Even in April and May, against the Devil Rays, Fenway is the most exciting place to watch a ballgame in all of the majors. I took my girl's brother to his first Sox game in September against the D-Rays. He went to college at Penn State and would go to football games there that had capacity crowds of over 100,000 fans, and he said that the 38,000+ sellout crowd at Fenway was just as loud after Ortiz slammed a walk-off 3-run homer. The Red Sox are far from boring, they are one of the best teams in baseball, better than the Yankees, tied for the best record this season, and Fenway park is the greatest field around, and Boston fans are the loudest fans in baseball. There is no place better than Fenway, and along with the Patriots domination so far, New England is the least boring place for sports right now probably in the whole nation. Except for when it comes to hockey, cause the Bruins suck. But even the Celtics managed to pick up Garnett so things might be interesting over there. You can hate the Sox all you want, but boring? No fuckin' way buddy.

There were quite a few. New England girls in pink Sox hats are generally cute. The majority of the people in stadium were wearing red and some big fat guy next to me who was talking to me for like two whole innings was wearing a shirt that said "Spank the Monkey"--refering to the Angel's "Rally Monkey".

This movie was awesome. Read a review that said the bathhouse scene does for fight scenes what the car chase scene in "The French Connection" did for chase scenes. Seeing as how I just watched "The French Connection", I have to say that critic was right. The chase scene in "The French Connection" totally blew me the fuck away, so did the fight scene in the bathhouse in "Eastern Promises". This is Cronenberg at his modern best. I still hope and pray he will go back to sci-fi/horror, but this shit he is on now is top notch. The ending seemed a little quick, but if you think about it, it completely works, because the last scene is cold and lonely, just like Mortensen's future prospects. It's also probably the ONLY Cronenberg film that would actually logically warrant a sequel, though it will never, ever happen.

Pats will crush.

Stay the fuck away from this piece of crap "zombie" film that is nothing more than Skinemax quality soft-core with a bit of zombies thrown in. Absolutely terrible and a waste of time. We started fast forwarding after about 15 minutes, then outright skipping whole scenes, then we just turned it off. If I hadn't rented it, I would have stuck it in the microwave.

I agree, so far I'm fucking bored to death with the Mexican shit and it totally does not fit. Hopefully they will integrate it much more than they did with the Nikki bullshit. I'm most interested in Petrilli and Clair's Dad and Suresh's plot to fuck over the company. Though the black shit coming out of her eyes was pretty intense, even though it was sort of a bite off "The X-Files".

So I got really lucky today. I scored tickets to tonights 4-0 Red Sox win over the Angels. Beckett pitched a complete game, 4-hitter shutout and it was fucking awesome. My tickets were fucking sweat, and I got them straight from the Sox over the phone after getting through 15 minutes of busy signals and then 15 minutes on hold, so I didn't have to get raped up the ass by scalper agencies. Went with my dad. I used to go to games with him all the time when I was younger and when the Sox games would never sellout and tickets were much cheaper. Haven't been with him in a few years and we had such a good time. The night was beautiful and the atmosphere was great, everyone was so merry and cheerful and talkative....so unlike Boston! Plus Beckett fucking pwned the Angels, my man Youkilis hit a solo homer in the first (which happened right as we were walking up the steps) and Ortiz fucking smashed a two-run homer to right field. I didn't bring my digital camera because I'm an idiot, but here's some crappy cellphone pictures of the game from where we were sitting, it looks far away but it was actually really close and we were able to the whole game from above, right above the home dugout, some of the best seats I had cause they were all comfortable and shit, but expensive. Also included is a shitty picture of Tuesday's Red Sox rally at City Hall where about several thousand people showed up and the Dropkick Murphys played a free show, whoopdeedo: The game: I bought the tickets today. When I woke up I had no idea I'd be going to a play-off game later. All the other games were sold out, which was odd cause I figured the first game would sell out before anything else. I've been going to Sox games since I was 5 years old, and this was my first post-season game. I loved it, had such a great time.

I think she's dating the younger brother, who would be her uncle in the show and I don't think he's quite yet thirty, but really who gives a shit. I don't even know the real-life name about most of these actors, I just love the show. This season hasn't blown me away, yet, but I can already start to feel myself becoming hooked. I just think it's bullshit they are bringing Sylar back, especially so soon. I fucking loothe Sylar and since they let him live last season, when they inevitably bring him back it sucks that they have done so this quickly. I'd like to see the dude gone for a while, he was too much of an asshole, lunatic and was too stressfullly annoying.

Play-offs start tommorrow, hold your fuckin' blood pressure steady boys! Get those heart pills ready!

I liked that film quite a bit, we watched it in film class today. It was funny and smart, Woody Allen's satire involving a movie director who has a rabid cult following due to his comedic films and is trying desperately to make a film that is not a comedy and juggle several women. Shot in black and white, apparently to make a statement against the current color technology that was being used to make prints that deteriorated too quickly--"Mean Streets" did the same thing. This awesome film, which I strongly recommend, especially to true fans of Cronenberg who might be angry that he is going to do dramatic films rather than sci-fi or horror or twisted-shit he so masturfully has done before, so that they can rest easy because it is so, so good.... ....led me to want to see this film: ..... "The French Connection", because I read a review that said the fight scene occurring later in "Eastern Promises" "did for fight scenes what 'The French Connection' did for car crash films". One video store I went to the copy was out, another they claimed to have it on VHS but they could not find it in the store, even though the computer said it was in. So I rented "Knocked Up" instead, and was dissapointed. I loved "The Forty-Year Old Virgin" and Apnew's latest one really wasn't that funny.

I picked up Airborne the other week and I still haven't gotten around to playing it. Bioshock really wore me out and sort of spoiled video games for me, I'm having a hard time motivating myself to play any game because Bioshock was just the most emotional, rewarding experience I've had in a long, long time and I know nothing in the near future, including MoH, will or can live up to that standard.

Do you make sure to use a pocket protector while you do that? You wouldn't want your pens to leak into your nerd shirt.
