Here is DME's thought for the day: silent vomit?

MORE ON DYLAN'S ARSE LATER!

Hello!
The post today:
To start, hello, it's Katie! Ozzy and I (being a] students b] skint c] without jobs and d] oggling people) can't really afford to buy games, and so, we go into Zavvi and steal their games machines. By this, I mean we play the games they put on the TVs. Today, we played Ironman and The Incredible Hulk. Let's see what all went down.
IRON MAN
Robert Downey Jr is now somewhat a hero in my books after the fake trailer before "Tropic Thunder"(....see here for some mindless gay fun), so having not have seen "Ironman", I didn't really know what to expect.
"Ironman? More like IronBALLS!" ~ Ozzy playing Ironman
The game also suffers (in the early stages) from "superman 64" syndromme (see here to understand), in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS SUPERMAN 64. If I remember corectly, that game sucked chronic ass.
Hold on, I'll check on wikipedia.
Yep, that game sucked chronic ass.
What I did really, really like about IronWang is that the dialoge in gameplay. It was genuninly quite funny and sarcastic, intentionaly so, I don't know, but it was good. That was the extent of my liking, and I am normaly increadibly easily pleased.
Oh, and that Jarvis Cocker seems to be IronTwat's co-pilot, which is just exteremly awesome. Common People indeed!
The Incredible Hulk
I did actually see "The Increadible Hulk", pretty much because Edward Norton was in it, and I like him. He comes across quite nice. So, I did quite like it. The game, therefore, held some minor hope.
"fuck. you. button. mashing."
BUTTON MASHING.
They come like theives in the night and take away my happiness, joined by their freinds, Mr Quick Time Event, and Mrs Lives System. They are completely unnessisary, and they are MAKING ME ANGRY JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. The first thing you do in the game is mash the X button. Why mash when you could tap it once and have the same effect? ARGH?! WHY? TELL ME WHY?!
But the plus sides of the game. EDWARD NORTON AS BRUCE BANNER! Alr
Most normal people can't though, so even though I would pick this game over Ironman, I wouldn't buy either of them, I'd just play them again in Zavvi.
Sorted.
Katie
Raise your hands if you know who they are.
No, they're not Russian.
They're a small, yet fantastic american band who play really soulful little indie rock numbers, mixed with catch beats and a piano.
They are fecking excellent.
And they are giving away their new single free (that's right, no charge, gratis!).
Get your ass over to here to download it, just right click "Something is not right with me" and save as.
It is catchy, and I love it like a cruel musical bitch.
Good God, I love them Cold War Kids.

But today it is Monday! And so tis posty post post time.
While I'm on the subject, I might as well give a frank analysis of a sleepy little website, www.kingdomofloathing.com
Now, kingdom of loathing (KoL) consists of a community of nutjobs/nerds/intellectuals, all playing the same adventure-based game at the same time [=o]. Invented by the evil mastermind Jick a long-ass time ago, it really is a great way to waste some time with some nice people.
The reason I rant about this over, say, XBOX 360 live is the fact that KoL is inhabited mainly by people that AREN'T asshats. Yeah, everywhere has the scattering of spiteful, idiotic fuckers... but in KoL they are humiliated [usually unknownst to them... muchos funny] then deftly smacked down where otherwise they would be allowed to thrive.
Another thing that shakes my bacon about KoL is the radio station, aptly named Radio KoL. Each DJ has their own individual style and taste, ranging from German techno with Lehks and his show Aural Sehks. Feckin love it. right through to good old metal with Saskia. I must must MUST big up Ailurodragon here, BEST. DJ. EVER. I'd truly like to stick it in his ears...
So yeah, KoL has regular meets all over the world. I myself will be attending the Glasgow meet August 1-3 [I stress myself as that other wang is going to berwick... it's not really a place =p] Links to the pics from that will probably appear here at some point.
Oh aye, and its free, did I mention it was free? GET ON IT BITCHEZ!

Today, reading the newspaper (yeah, I actually read the newspaper. It’s really no big deal, I normally just skip to the entertainment section.), I can across an article called “Reel Stinkers”. It was the Sun, I’m sure that was the best they could do. It was a list of the worst movie endings of all time. Now, I’m going to list all these movies, then I think you’ll see why I’m writing this.....

SO.
I got 3 things for the rate machine today.
1) THERE WILL BE BLOOD (DVD)
2) THE VINES- MELODIA
3) BECK - MODERN GUILT
So, start with number one then, ay?
THERE WILL BE BLOOD (DVD)
Maybe you know I'm an avid Paul Dano Fan? MAYBE? Dear god, that man pwns. Yes, so, on that F# (note, haha, applause, sit down), There will be Blood is a fecking great movie. It made me think, and, well, let's just say that's quite rare. So, I liked it. I have one fault, however, and that's that the extra features were, essentially, crap. I even bought the 2 disc edition, hoping for at least 25% more Paul Dano, but that didn't happen. And can I add, Daniel Day-Lewis scared me in this movie slightly. Not Brian-Cox-L.I.E. scary, but close enough. Buy the movie if you liked it in cinemas, or if you like sort of factual movies with minimum swearing and maximum message (with a little bit of male mud fighting thrown in for good measures).
THE VINES- MELODIA
I it on iTunes today. And, I must admit, I rather like it. There are a good few acoustic tracks (eg She is gone) and really upbeat songs too. To me, it kind of chucks together the good bits of all three albums (yes, NME, I DID like Winning Days, so arse to you) and adds a little bit of whatever was missing. Mainly: AUTUMN SHADE! Yeas, ladies and gents, Autumn Shade 3, aka AS III is here! A HAIGH! A HALLELUJAH!
The album's really good, whatever light you put it in. I don't think they'll ever release an album as good as Highly Evolved, but as long as they keep putting albums out, I don't think I'll care.
(GO BUY "MELODIA" FROM ITUNES NOW, OR LISTEN AT THE VINES' MYSPACE)
BECK - MODERN GUILT
ODELAY! ODELAY!
Yeah, sorry, couldn't quite help myself. Anyway, the really weird thing about this album is how short it is. I mean, beck has all these tracks that are what, 11, 12 minutes long? If I remember right, this album has a full length of 33:38 (Odelay was almost an hour long). So, yeah, a pretty short sweet number from the Beck camp, but I cannot complain. Beck is a genius, his music's fantastic. Lyricly, it's just about mental-asylum crazy, and musicly, Beck can't hold down a genre.
It's absolute fecking magic though.
Go download "Chemitrails" or "Gamma Ray" and you'll see what I mean. Utter mentalness. Buy it, buy two copies, actually, one to play, and one to hump furiously.
(ON ITUNES OR BECK'S MYSPACE)

Okay, I know everyone else saw it ages ago, but because I'm a cheap ass I waited till it came out on DVD. Also, I'm lazy. And so, this weeks review [makin em weekly, on Mondayz... just to spice them up a bit] on Sweeney Todd is just going to be a list of pros and cons. Possibly followed by a score and some sodomy.
| Pros [not prose, thankfully] | Cons [but we isn't] |
| Another Johnny Depp/Tim Burton ensemble, always good for daydreams about what they do in Burton's office. | Musicals aint really my bag |
| Johnny Depp yet again looks hot. | The sailor Anthony Hope Jamie Campbell Bower outsexes Depp, causing a fair amount of shock and outrage when first viewed. |
| Blood blood blood | I just can't take Depp seriously when he uses the same English accent as from POTC. |
| Although a bit of a drag the songs did help with more of the emotional shit. | Helena Bonham Carter, although blessed with a groovy name. Looks like a fanny. She got ovened by Depp. Good call. |
| BLOOOOOD BLOOOOOOOOD ALI G DEATH | "A wee bit too gorey for my tastes" says my maw. |
| Loved the desaturatedness... made for the dingy London thing | Fuckin hurt your eyes when they went on a picnic in VIVID colour. |
Well. Katies using ye olde colour, so I decided I'd go for an oaky tumbre myself. Hello. I've just come back from "ballet". i say " " because when Jamiroquai [sp?] is allowed near what is meant to be beauty and grace in a bottle/leotard... well, you know somethings up.
ANYWAY!!!!!
I rant about those matters too much.
This aint no review or anything else for that matter kid.
No, this is to let you know me and my associate Katie here [lol, i said ass] will be making a series of short films in the not to distant future.
Not so much FYI, just to tie Katie down to the sinking ship that is our ideas.
Word out.
OzZy
Hey...
just posting to say it's almost that time of the year where the gigs start flowing like beer into the grand City of Glasvegas (aka Glasgow, or "not Edinburgh") , and so you're going to be seeing many gig reviews from me, and much delectable shizzle from Ozzy.
The next gig I've got is Glasvegas @ ABC2 on the 19th of June, so I'll be trying not to get chibbed as I stand at the back (Interpol fan to the death) and tap me feet. I'm also trying to get a good camera to take some pictures. I'm just saying, don't count on it.
But, yeah, so I've decided on my favorite bands of the moment. List Mania!
Popup
Glasvegas
Vampire Weekend
Friendly Fires
Dartz!
The Envy Corps
The Blood Arm
Mook
Familiarise yourself with all of them. Touch them. Smell them. Love them. And whatever else you do.
Just check them out =]

Yeah, I know, I'm getting lame as hell by now, but, for the love of God, the Vines absolutely enthral me.....
The australian outfit's new single (well, in Australia, I don't know what they're going to bring out here) is called "He's a Rocker" and will be released down under on the 28th of June (it's downloadable of teh ITUNES OF DOOM AND GLITTER now). It's rocky, and hot, and sticky, and it makes me want to grab a hairbrush, jump to me mirror and AIR GUITAR FOR ALL I'M WORTH.
Not only that, but Craig Nicholls is looking fine.....which is very, very pleasant. I'm sure he's a lovely guy, but as I've never met him, the only thing I can comment on is that he's hot as hell in summer.
So, check out the video HERE>>> http://music.ninemsn.com.au/mediapo
And pwn yourselves the single. If it means going to Australia, and sleeping with every member of the Vines (you lucky bugger) then do it.
Anyway, my new puppy Jack thinks that he's Kurt Cobain, and is trashing the place.
I'm going to make him into slippers if he's not careful. Which he's not.

Apart from the fact that he survived being nuked in a fridge, the main object of the movie (a crystal skull. What the hell indeed.) looks quite a lot like they put some glitter in clingfilm and went with it.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine, there's a fridge in the back."
I think we, as a collective, found the movie quite funny, but it was so unintentional. So, essentially, it was quite good. The star of the movie is actually the semi-retarded school professor, who is fecking hilarious. All he does is gurgle and talk crap throughout, until the end when he finally musters the brain power he's got left and says something vaguely intelligent. And then there were the aliens and little monkey people. ?????? How ever much these people are getting payed isn't enough, I kid you not.
Harrison Ford hasn't shat since "raiders of the lost arc"
But, yeah, if you want a good laugh, or you (as Ozzy and I do) like to watch Shia Labeouf prance around on a screen while Harrison Ford accomplishes physically impossible tasks, then go for it. This movie was made for you. Enjoy.
