A fucking blog!
SUP BLOGOSPHERE. So, I guess I’m going to be the first person to ever run an annual blog. Take that bloggers. Okay, so lets pour some knowledge down for the people back home.
CLICK BELOW TO READ MORE OF ME BITCHING ABOUT A MOVIE ADAPTATION. Also.. fat robert downey jr, Billy Corgan’s Moonface and some musical wanderings.
First things first! When I first heard there was going to be a Watchmen movie, I was kinda upset. I mean hell, i’m all for the graphic novel getting more attention. It is, after all one of the most awesome comics ever. If you haven’t read it, do so! It has a naked blue man! It has a dog getting beat up by a man in a hat! It has cthulu-esque hellspawns! However, I don’t think it can work as a movie. Too much plot, tons of.. just.. stuff! Like the whole story-within-the-story. Yanno how they’re handling the Tales of the Black Freighter story, right?
DVD RELEASE AT THE SAME TIME AS MOVIE KACHING
Hell, worked for the animatrix*
So here’s a trailer I guess. EMBEDDOVISION ROCK
STOP IT AT 2:15 SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO WATCH FAKE OZZIE ROBERT DOWNEY JR.
Heh. he calls himself a visionary director. But yeah, the trailer doesn’t exactly make my movie-balls throb. It fills me with nervous. This has the potential to be a real horrible mess of one of the greatest books ever. Like.. i’m sure some people on the Internet felt this kinda worry when they found out that Peter “Bad Taste” Jackson was making Lord of the Rings. That didn’t turn out to bad though, right?
So maybe, just maybe, this won’t be an over-stylized heap-o-trash where more focus is put on making sure the characters look all sharp-contrast-coloured and wallpaper-savingly-great, than having people actually know what the hell is going on.
Interesting note, he used the song from Batman and Robin for his trailer, just all slowed down and more indy-ish.. Huh. Billy Corgan must be saving up for head-shaving cream again. Rox hates Billy Corgan. I can relate, i’ll admit, I was one of those kids with the floppy hair and a tshirt with ZERO written across it in big letters but even now, his voice really can get on your tits occasionally. Like a bee trapped in a pint glass.
See that thing I just did?.. linking words and pictures? its very fucking web 2.0 kids. I’m there! i’m on the pulse! I’m Cool, Kids!
SUBHEADING
Okay, so, lets talk music. Recently I have been listening to a lot of Atari Teenage Riot, because i’m really out of the loop when it comes to digital hardcore. (pfft). After listening to a lot of ATR stuff, i’ve found quite a nice little niche of music. Kinda.. drum and bassy punky and hip-hoppery. Its a weird combo, that works. Pity that the rapper-type from ATR had to go and die. HERE BELOW IS A SONG BY THEM. SPLENDID!
Alex Empire, lead singer, is a bit of a tosser though. He has one of those “Lookatmei’mawesome” attitudes. So, while I like ATR’s stuff, I have NO TIME FOR THIS SHIT;
His later stuff is kinda lame. Shoulda stuck with ATR really.
So yeah, album recommendations this year:
Ratatat – LP3
Kleptones – anything by them pretty much
Kwoon – Tales And Dreams
Ministry – Cover Up (RADAR LOOOOOOOVE!)
Anything by Dj Shadow, RJD2 and Dj Yoda for fans of music to chill/laugh/dance to.
BLOG OFF.
I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS SHIT.
