Movies

This past weekend on the STARZ channel, they've been airing Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez's movie "Grindhouse". The first movie is called Planet Terror and the other is Death Proof.

I remember seeing some previews online when it was about ready to be released but forgot all about it since then. This shit is so funny yet kinda gross in the gore dept. if you like any of these two guys stuff.

I like the idea behind of how they filmed it. Kinda hard to describe unless you watch it.

Planet Terror had a shitload of known actors for cameos (Bruce Willis, Sayid from Lost, Fergy, Josh Brolin, etc) the list goes on. The story poked fun at the whole zombie (aka sickos) situation like most zombie movies have. You can't help but laugh out loud with some of the stupid shit they did that of course, is so obvious. I thought it was neat to have Freddy Rodríguez (6ft under) be the main guy and Rose McGowen's role for it suited her.

Death Proof had Kurt Russell as being the bad guy which was amusing too to see him in this setting. One good thing about the movie is the mmmmm.....hot muscle classic cars. What kinda threw me off a bit was that it felt like the first part of DP was in the 70's just cause of the vehicles being used, the music, the clothes but yet they were using reg. cell phones. The car scenes before that part ends had my jaw dropping on the gore scene. The 2nd part of the movie that takes place a few months later, I laughed my ass off as to the turn of events.

If you read the synopsis of what happens in both movies, it pretty much tells you everything that went on without having to watch it but you lose the artistic side of it by not seeing it for yourself.

Music

Bubba was pretty impressed with NIN's new stuff that he said to go ahead and place an order for the cd (which won't arrive till April when it's finally released). When you do that, they send you a one time link to dl the full cd and the pdf file as well as some extras like wallpapers and icons. By burning all the music on disc instead of trying to find time to listen to it online, gave me time to really listen to it since it is instrumental. It's a pretty good cd, pretty sad when this cd is and sounds better than what Year Zero turned out. There are some parts that would sound good with vocals but no biggie.

I like the idea of what Trent did when it came to listening to the whole thing on the website or hearing just the first vol for free. I think some bands should do this. That way if it's a new band that ppl aren't sure of the sound, they can preview the full album and if you like it, buy it. OR if you aren't fond of the whole thing and just want certain songs, offer whatever song you want for a price.

Right now the only thing I have up for grabs is the wallpaper that came with the extras. Choose whatever size you want by the folders listed:

Widescreen

Standard

I'm sure peeps are getting tired of me talking about certain bands but when I'm hooked into something, it has a lasting affect for quite awhile. Anyways, I finally got around to watching what I had recorded of Later with Jools Holland (on the FUSE ch). Before I go any farther, I think that is a pretty good show. You can showcase about 4 bands in one show and each one gets to play two sets. Muse was on one time, damn good too!! I'll have to find that clip on YT since I deleted what I had recorded two months ago.

So this one that I taped had Foo Fighters. Their 2nd set just wowed me. It was only Dave playing the acoustic guitar for "Razor" and I got hooked on that song when they played it on the Skin & Bones cd. Something about the guitar chords for the song draws me to it. Speaking of Skin & Bones, they should've released a dvd for that live set.




I have made it my goal to see this band next time around DAMN IT!!!

Bleach

It's not often I get in this mood but this past weekend, I wanted to write something for IchiHime but I just couldn't think of what to write about (nothing long mind you). I guess for all the hate still going around with Orihime recently makes me want to write something for her and Ichigo (yeah, still have a dislike for Ichigo but will write him for Orihime's sake). So here's where you peeps come in, or at least I hope someone will come through for me.

I need 5 prompts for IchiHime and while I'm at it, 5 prompts for RenRuki. I want to try and just stick with something small, like I used to write 120 words and still make sense. Or maybe even go as far as 500 like I did a few yrs ago for two things I wrote for GW.

Anyone can reply with 5 prompts or just 1 or 3, whatever comes to mind. I'll take as many as I can that way I have a variety to work with.

I'm not even sure how many ppl even KNOW of this movie but it was soooo worth going to see it. Last night bubba and I went to see Waiting. OMFG!!!!! Talk about a hilarious movie. Tis a shame that the critics gave such horrible reviews for it, then again, if you don't have a lick of a sense of humor, don't like swear words, sexual innuendo, or drug reference, of course your not gonna like it. For you cock lovers out there will get a kick out of their penis game.

This chick was fucking hilarious. You would think she had turrets for the way she cursed so much.

Mmm...Dane Cook (in the middle). Wished they would've showed the cooks more cause they were a hoot! Though I wouldn't want them for my cooks wherever I ate at. *shudders*

Bubba thinks that maybe it got bad reviews cause the movie was too short and it focused only on one day but oh well, I liked it either way. I can't wait for it to come out on dvd. I think you'll get a kick out of this movie too scarbie.

GUH! I'd so kill to see some full naked pics of Ryan Reynolds, god damn if that man doesn't have a body on him. *melts* His new movie coming out called Just Friends seems like it will be pretty funny as well. (I can't believe he's engaged to Alanis Morissette O__O)

YAAAAAAY!!!! Today is the day for NIN!!! *squeebounce* I also took tonight off of work and will TOTALLY do a write up about the show tomorrow. I will definitely think about you guys tonight that aren't able to make any of their shows, including you Julie (though the kidnapping of Trent might become a hassle, he might take ME down with his buffness *giggles*)
