The first time I heard Jets to Brazil was in Little D’s car driving home from a Buckshot show circa ‘98. That was 10 years ago… Geeez.

Blake Schwarzenbach has a new band, here’s videos of them playing at that punk house in Crown Heights called The Fort. Sounds good, poppy like Jawbreaker.

It reminds me of when I lived at the punk house in Santa Cruz and after the Jets to Brazil show my roommate Chas’ friend though it would be funny to start a rumor that Blake was coming to the punk house after the show. There were people hanging at our house but not Blake, and of course groups of young emo kids were outside lurking and trying to play it cool. Chas had to burst their bubble by telling them “Do you guys think Blake Schwarzenbach is coming here, because he’s not” which of course they thought was a trick. But when people left and we went bed the kids outside finally gave up. That dude’s got some diehard fans.

This is one of the funniest Ali G episodes I’ve seen probably. It’s a shame that this kind of stuff can’t happen anymore since everyone knows about Sacha Baron Cohen. Ali G show had some pretty genious writing. I heard an interview with Seth Rogen talking about writing for Ali G and how you have to guess what the guests are gonna say and write different jokes for different possible responses etc. That shit was on some comedy writing 2.0 choose your own adventure style. Excited to see how the Bruno movie turns out, though after the success of borat it’s gotta be that much harder to film anything without people realizing.

Finally got to see Dark Knight the other day, and I have this to say. Mind you, my favorite movie is Boat Trip so you shouldn’t listen to my whack opinion, but like to hear it here it go. Best Script this summer. The movie itself was rad, and I kept leaning over to Jen and whispering, “That was awesome” every 20 min or so. Half way through, I was loving it, and at first I thought it was on par with Batman Begins, which is one of my favs. *STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET! STOP!* But then Rachel (Maggie G) gets blown up, and I am like yes! It was a little better than Begins, a little darker. I loved the whole fear of bats and ninja thing in Begins. I don’t read comics so it was all a suprise to me. How come when Bruce Wayne puts on the Batsuit his voice changes? Starts talking like Tom Waits. Christian Bale has that gleek thing when he talks. He is dashing, and by far the best fit for Batman. Batman has become like James Bond. Not really. Heath was rad, not as rad as Jack Nich in the OG, but man… Heath came a long way from Knight’s Tale to Dark Knight. Shannon Sossamon as Rachel? Nah, she sucks at acting. Heath you were legit son. Batman also had a trailer for a Cop movie with Bobby De Niro, Pacino, and Brian Dennehy. YES! I think its gonna kill.

Humyo fuckin kicks ass.  Nuff sed.  You know how my reviews go.  It either kicks ass or it doesn’t.  As my comp sci professor used to say back at UH, KISS (Keep it simple stupid).  The game is changing mang.  The game is changing rapidly.

First up…Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I was so amped to see this. Like all of you, I grew up loving Indiana Jones jumping around thinking i could swing anything “whip like” at a tree and it will lock on and I can swing…still can’t. So when I heard this was coming out this summer, i decided i would come out also…of the closet. I am officially gay for Indy. I waited a few days to see this one, which I am glad I did, because i got to hear the opinions from many of my friends (whom i have a similar movie taste and love of indy) All of their opinions were identical (by all i mean 3) “It sucked, don’t see it, if you love old indy movies you will hate this one and you will wish you were dead blah blah blah”…..so I went in expecting to be bummed. I even caught myself forcing myself to be bummed, but I wasn’t bummed, I was amped. I was like little kids at lyles work when the blue angels were doing test flights over honolulu yelling COOOOOL! the entire tim I was stoked, even the cheesy parts made me stoked. it was a fun movie, sure corny at times, but George Lucas writes shitty dialogue so big surprise. It was non stop action, harrison looked rad, Shia was fine as a motha fucka and that queen elizabeth broad killed as a russian. So I highly recommend it, it made me wanna go home and practice closing the garage door and trying to make it time before it closes, while reaching for my hat at the last minute. I told my friends that didn’t like it that they need to regress a bit and go see it again with the mindset of a kid…just stoked…and yell COOOL! when you hear the music…it feels good.

Next Up….Speed Racer

This one I thought looked cool in the previews, but had a weird feeling about it. For one, I knew the details of the cartoon, but i could give a fuck, I never gave a shit about Speed Racer, so why would I now?

The answer is because it is fucking AWESOME! I was so amped on this movie. this time I was having to yell over all the kids in the theater yelling COOOOOOL! It was such a rad movie, it took place in another awesome dimension of acid and willy wonka. It was mostly CG stuff, but the cars looked rad, and Christina Ricci kept making IT move….mmmmm, forehead. You know a movie is fun when the kid next to you is making those machine gun noises with his mouth we used to make, and was fake driving the entire time…Ok, the kid next to me was me, and I was fake driving with my Mario Kart wheel for my Wii…Big deal. The story line was cool, the comic relief was good enough, and it was so perfectly comic book, the lines were delivered perfectly comic book, it looked like comic book, even John Goodman’s Moustache was comic book. The whole thing was FUN. Another action packed flick to get my summer sweat on. The driving sequences were so cool to watch. It made me think of those glow in the dark electric race track with jumps and loops from the 80’s. Just a good, fun movie. it made me amped to come home and play Wii Mario Kart like a skate video makes me wanna throw big 360 flips, not land 360 flips…THROW 360 flips…Those Matrix brothers know how to use a computer, WHEW! shit was trippy. GO see it, don’t expect to be moved, expect to yell COOOOL! and not check your email on your iPhone in this one. All the kids after the movie came running out pretending to be racing. I acted uptight and Haole like their Parents need to control their kids…but its only cause I was jealous, and that one kid with the Kool Aid moustache cut me off. I SAID I WAS GONNA BE SPEEEEEED!

Ok, sure I gushed over both of these movies, trust me I don’t always do that, I love to hate, but lately these action flicks are getting me amped. I also saw Iron Man, also very awesome, so rad…not gonna write a review, just go see it, be stoked and laugh, cause Robert Downey kills me, witty frikka. 

Next movie I might see is The Strangers, I dunno why…those bag head peeps creep me out.

Check this Trailer when you get a chance…. #mce_temp_url# (messed up link name…it works)

its for the new coen bros movie…this time a comedy. It reminded me how awesome Brad Pitt can be when he isn’t shoulder deep in Angelina’s Ass.

I recommend everyone watch this documentary if you haven’t already. It will probably piss you off, but in a good way if you know what I mean. Get mad, smash your Nintendo Wii, punch your friend in the face, blast Franco Un-American, and up tha punx!

You can watch No End in Sight streaming online if you have a Netflix account.

Alexis Dziena in Sex and Breakfast. Despite the crappy reviews I read about this movie, I just watched it anyway online through my Netflix account and I enjoyed it. Probably because I could relate to where the characters were at in their lives and relationships. Oh yeah and Alexis Dziena bringing the heatery helped me enjoy the film as well. Dudes night out!

intense brah! Awesome action movie. The only crappy thing was all the donkeys in the audience who kept moaning when it would rewind and go to someone else’s point of view. The movie is called Vantage Point you frikken dumb asses! Ever heard of Run Lola Run?!

Saw Definitely, Maybe last night for Valentines Day. All smiles coming out of the theater. Blastyojaw recommended. However, if you don’t like movies like Serendipity, The Last Kiss, Love & Sex, You’ve Got Mail, etc etc, then you probably won’t like this movie. eh, no laugh!! hahaha so what if I like all of those movies.
