I saw “The Passion of the Christ” last night. I really liked it alot, it was genuinely a good movie, even though I never was overly interested in the bible or any of that stuff. I knew the general story since I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school and all, but I’ve never seen it presented with such intensity. As I’m sure most of you have already heard, the violence in the movie is pretty ridiculous. Some of the scenes go on for a good fifteen to twenty minutes and are just downright brutal. The imagery used to represent the demons that drove Judas to suicide, and the character of the devil were both really well done, and pretty damn cool. I found people reactions to the violence to be nothing short of ironic, though… They’re sitting there going “Oh, Jesus Christ!” Have some fucking respect, haha. And I’d say over half of the people in the theater were crying. The movie was definitely “moving”, but I can’t really see being brought to tears by it… But that’s just little old desensitized-as-shit me. Anyway, I still feel that all the controversy and reports surrounding this movie about it being anti-semitic are ridiculous. Is the bible anti-semitic? Because this movie is based on the same story told in the scriptures. Morons. Anyway, that’s all I have to say about that.
I’m not sure how many of you do power hours regularly, or even know what a power hour is. If you don’t know what it is, you basically take a shot of beer every sixty seconds for an hour. It’s alot easier to keep track of the minutes if you have a power hour CD (a CD where a new song comes on every minute, so you know when to take each shot). Unfortunately, the majority of the power hour CDs that I’ve seen in circulation consist of Jay-Z/Ja Rule/Sisqo type shit and aren’t much fun to listen to, and to make your own power hour CD, you’d have to take 60 MP3s and cut each one down to a minute, which would be a pain in the ass. Which is what makes Power Hour for Winamp so awesome. You load up a playlist of 60 songs (or 100, if you want to do a Power Century) and then hit start on this program to begin. I use this thing alot at school, it’s such a simple program but I seriously love it.
John Kerry - Hung like a horse?
“But your honor, I couldn’t have been driving the car that caused that fatal crash in 1999, because… I was giving the driver a blowjob!” Seriously… Well, whatever works.
What the hell happened to Slipknot? This new track, “Don’t Get Close” seriously sucks.
I definitely wanna make some absinthe… And I guess it would be cool to homebrew sake, too.
Hey, look - a free sample of anti-hangover pills… I bet they don’t do shit though. But they’d give me an excuse to get ridiculously blackout drunk just to test them out! Also, you can get a free spanking paddle here. But guys, seriously… They’re only for good homes. Not to be used out of anger, but rather, out of love. But this guy won’t know if you beat the shit out of your kids with it, so why not just order one regardless and just play it by ear. I bet having a paddle in your hand is alot more effective after 7 or 8 beers. Let’s see, what other free shit do we have… Free USB memory stick, free condom and lube, free “Hogleg” (looks like a lame Jackass ripoff) DVD, free adidas beat-off lotion, and uh… I guess that’s it for now.
Read this article, and then go put all your $20 bills in the microwave… Be sure to wrap ‘em in tinfoil first, though. You do wanna destroy the super secret government tracking devices, right?
I’ll tell ya, video games are just getting cooler and cooler. I don’t really follow them too well anymore, most of my “video game time” is spent tearing other people new assholes in Tony Hawk Underground… Yes, I could probably beat you. But there are two games I’ve heard about that sound particularly interesting. One is Konami’s “LifeLine”, which comes out this month for Playstation 2, and is “the first completely voice actioned” video game. Apparently it doesn’t just rely on basic commands like jump, run, etc, you can say things like “I love you” and “take off your clothes”, and you’ll get responses. So that sounds mildly interesting… You can read more about it here. And the other game is one I’m a little more excited about. Why? Well how many other games can you smoke crack and do speed? Midway’s “NARC” sounds cool as shit, read more about it here.
I’m not sure how many of you remember hearing about musiccdsettlement.com, a site where you could go and file for a settlement due to overpriced CDs, if you were someone who had purchased a certain number of CDs over the past few years - I don’t remember exactly what the specifications were, but I filled out the form for the hell of it, and the other day I got a letter in the mail from Gerald J. Pappert, the Attorney General of PA, and a check for like $13 or so. Nothing spectacular, but still, that’s pretty cool if you ask me. Anyway…
Plugs: Check out 100 Magic Bunnies. Yeah, I know, that’s a pretty strange name for a site, but whatever, check it out anyway. Oh, and if you’re looking for the new In Flames, Fear Factory, Soulfly, Clutch, Damageplan, or lots of other new albums, be sure to hit up #altrock on EFNet.
