48th Post!!

Life On Mars

ABC has came out with a few mega hit TV show over the past year, shows like Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and etc..glad and sadden to say this shows are still on going. Started off with a bang but its somewhat crappy now..especially Lost..now the show really is LOST..

..and so in 2008, ABC picked up a pilot of Life On Mars, which of course used to be a hit British TV series..much like NBC's The Office.

The show stars Jason O'Mara, Harvey Keitel and the former New Jersey DiMeo family mobster Michael Imperiolli..its a shame that the show only made it for one season due to the lack of viewers, but then again..how can you determined the "no" viewers based on some research company basing it on a few thousand fellas (although they do it very frequently..I still think its crap)

The show wrapped up after 17 episodes very cleanly and neat according to an atricle I read online..This show is memorable for alot of funny reasons..they came out with jokes like this

How do you know that Jesus is black??

'He likes the cosmic..he calls everybody brada..and even he couldn't get a fair trial'

Hunt "You couldn't find sand even if you slid off a camel"

Carling "I will crawl through half a mile of broken glass just to kiss the last man who sucked her toes"

Pretty damn impressive jokes for a drama..

its also a real shame that so many great shows limp or get cancelled because of bad ratings..just because an average American cant understand the joke or the concept; shows like

1) Arrested Development (Cancelled after 3 seasons of limping)
2) Scrubs (after limping on NBC season after season now in ABC for its final season)
3) 30 Rock (Lack of viewers every single episodes but sweeping TV awards like no tomorrow)
4) Life (great concept but lack viewers)
5) Life On Mars
6) Day Break (Cancelled)
7) The Inside
8) In Justice

I would prefer that any of this 8 shows survive than to see Meredith and McDreamy drama on Grey's anytime of the day, or how lost Lost is in translating the show to the viewers or how 4 almost 200 years old combined, housewives struggling with life, or how the flowchart in House works..

Patient get sick --> get sicker--> get better --> get seriously sick --> House come out with idea --> Patient is cured

..even if all this show actually do make it pass the 5 seasons mark..how many will be memorable..like..Friends, Frasier, NYPD Blue, The Shield, Sopranos..maybe House will but the rest dont stand a fucking chance. So to my American friends...please get a little smarter and get shows like Heroes..and 4 camera comedy out of the TV screen and start being smarter by watching more single camera comedy..with no "HA HA HA HA" assist.

47th Post!!

Dragon Ball (Movie)

...and so I went for the screening of Dragon Ball Evolution (DBE), without expecting much I went into the cinema with a smile cause I somehow sense that the movie was gonna be bad shit..

Again..I don't make movies, I don't know how to make movies..we will get back to this later..

Dragon Ball is one of the best manga / comic that ever made it out of Japan, with such iconic characters like Goku, Vegeta and etc etc..with such a heavy burden on the shoulder those Americans making the movie had to live up to the heavy expectations.

They casted a white guy to play an Asian character (Goku)..remember the white Chun Li on the previous post?? but I was fine with it, the made Picollo looked like a Halloween costume..I was still fine with it..they made the so called Capsule Corp gadget looked like Transformers..I was fine with it..they casted a white girl as Bulma..I was fine with it..they gave the stupid Yamcha role to some Asian American..I was fine with it..

But what I was not fine with is the way the movie was presented..fair enough the acting was bad..apart from Chow Yun Fatt who played Master Roshi to perfection..

I was telling you all how bad Chun Li was..but at least Chun Li had a flow to it..they showed A to Z...the flow of DBE is like;

Start---A---G----M----B----Y----F----X---Y---The End

The movie actually made Chun Li looked good..it did not help with that Kamehameha, so fake..so ugly..and when He (Goku) was Kamehameha-ing..it seem as though he had a bad cast of constipation..

Even this shit is better..SERIOUSLY..



The only thing DBE was better compared to is this..



But do support the movie though..do not support piracy..you sure in hell do not want to be seen by your friends with a pirated copy DVD of DBE..

Calvin... just Calvin

As a child, I grew up with Calvin and Hobbes. He lived in a world I could almost identify with (being only bested by Jason from Foxtrot, but that is a different tory for another time), with his imaginary and very real toy tiger, Hobbes. By the time I was old enough to process all the subliminal messages and hidden jokes that Bill Watterson had to offer, it's run as a comic had already came to an end. In a very nice way.

But recently, I came across a fan-made creation, which would've actually qualified as a finale for Calvin and Hobbes. One which would spark riots in every country where Calvin and Hobbes was syndicated, and tear-jerked every reader. For a character we are so attached with, this is really heart tearing. So if you still cherish that memory, you might wanna skip below. Otherwise.. cry your heart out.



I warned you.

If I Were A Boy

This song is dedicated to the princess we all know. Toughen up :)



If I were a boy
Even just for a day
Id roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
Id kick with who I wanted
And I'd never get confonted for it
Cause theyd stick up for me.

[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear Id be a better man.
Id listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause hes taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would just turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they think that I was sleeping alone
Id put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that shed be faithful
Waitin for me to come home

[Chorus]

Its a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think Id forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

But youre just a boy
You dont understand (Yeah you dont understand)
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You dont listen to her
You dont care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause youve taken her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But youre just a boy

Legend of Chun Li

I don't know how to make movies..I don't make movies..nor have I been in a set of a movie, but for the first time in many years, a movie actually made me thought to myself that I wasted 1 1/2 hours of my life.

The movie is Legend of Chun Li..
in addition to casting an Asian girl (Chinese) role (Chun Li) into white (Kristen Kreuk), they manage to make the movie so memorable for being bad that I actually think the original Street Fighter was better..the little girl called Chun Li started the movie as an Asian..as she grow 2 or 3 years older..she became a white girl -.-

The movie can be made in a 45 minutes flick if the minus all the draggy horse shit and stupid narration..the plot of the movie..

Daddy got kidnapped ---> I want revenge ---> I grew up (becoming white in the process from Asian) ---> Got my revenge

To summarise how the movie actually looked..



It looked like that..and when Chun Li did her "helicopter kick" my balls nearly fell off and it looked similar to this..



Good job people!

Unleash the whirlwind of our Wrath, Our Guns Never Tire, We have Beaten back the Foe.... Sent them Running

If there is any speech in a video game that is considered EPIC, this would probably be it. Nationalistic, Hitleresque, and chilling.



"My people. Sons and daughters of Helghan.... For many years, we have been a broken nation... Shunned, oppressed, and conquered by those we sought to escape. ...Ten years ago, I asked for time, and that time was granted by you. You, the strength in my arm, the holders of my dreams.... Our forefathers embarked on the greatest exodus in the history of all mankind... An exodus for freedom. Helghan became that freedom... Our new world changed our bodies. At first, it weakened us, but in fact, we were growing... stronger. In the time you have given me, I have rebuilt our nation, I have rebuilt our strength, and I have rebuilt our pride!... Our enemies at home have been re-educated. We have given them new insights into our cause. On this day, we stand united once more. On this day, those driven to divide us will hear our voice! On this day, we shall act as one, and we shall be ignored NO MORE! Defenders of the Helghast dream, NOW IS OUR TIME!"




"My people... Sons and daughters of Helghan. This much I vow. The history of these days will be written in blood. By crushing the armies of our enemy, by seizing the weapons they thought to turn against us, we are fighting for our very existence. But if there are those who would deny us peace; refuse us our rightful place in the universe, then we will unleash such terrible vengeance that generations yet unborn will cry out in anguish![...]The enemy may shatter our bodies, but they cannot break our spirit. Even now they advance on our home world, to seize by force what they cannot claim by right. They cannot imagine what awaits them. WE WILL SMITE THE INVADERS FROM OUR SKIES. Though they sweep over our lands like the sands of winter; never again will we bow before them; never again endure their oppression; never again endure their tyranny. We will strike without warning and without mercy; fighting as one hand, one heart, one soul. We will shatter their dreams and haunt their nightmares, drenching our ancestors' graves with their blood. And as our last breath tears at their lungs; as we rise again from the ruins of our cities... they will know, Helghan belongs to the Helghast."
