Fuck Dennis Miller


I really can't believe this. I guess I always assumed Miller was on the good guys side. When I say good guys I mean the lesser of two evils: Democrats. Oh well, he's not that funny anyways.

"I spent an amazing couple of hours with Dennis Miller," Bush said during his Los Angeles speech after Miller's routine. "He keeps you on your toes."

Like that's saying much. A ball of yarn would keep him on his toes. Fuck them both.

Spike Jones Joins TNN


"I find it frightening that a court would allow Spike Lee to appropriate and acquire an exclusive (and free) ownership interest in the name 'Spike' in the television and entertainment field."

1st International Love Hotel Moblogging Conference


This seems like it will be fun to watch how it turns out. I need to get me a phone with a camera so I can start doing a little mobloggin. Here's the link to the real Moblogging Conference.

"The Strip"


Spike TV (The New TNN) premiered it's new adult cartoon programming block aptly named "The Strip" last night. They opened with the new Ren and Stimpy show. It's been years since I watched Ren and Stimpy back when they were on Nickelodeon, but I recall fond memories of them. They were never great cartoons but they were entertaining if slightly gross. The new show is exaggeratingly sick. It starts with them living in a homeless man's mouth where Ren has trouble sleeping. Stimpy tells Ren he has needs but Ren is to tired to fulfill them. So instead of kissing Stimpy he has Stimpy close his mouth and places a rats asshole up to Stimpy's lips. There's more homosexual innuendo between the Chihuahua and cat when Ren gets molested by the bum’s uvula (that thing that hangs in the back of your throat) and thinks it was Stimpy. He slaps Stimpy and tells him "I'm the pitcher, you're the catcher". They end up moving out of the homeless man and into a spittoon in a bar. They dine on tobacco spit, vomit, and snot. They eventually get kicked out and move back to their original quarters. This episode was very disturbing, too many gross body fluids eaten, Ren doing Stimpy doggy style (under the sheets), etc. There was no real story, and felt very drawn out. One dirty joke to the next. Not as good as the Classic Ren and Stimpy.

The second show "Gary the Rat" was a little better. It's about a lawyer who is so sleazy he wakes up as a rat one day. This episode is about him defending a tobacco company from a class action suit brought on by cancer patients. The story was kind of slow and boring, but I see potential with this cartoon. Kelsey Grammer does the voice of the rat.

The last half hour is taken up by "Stipperella". Stan Lee has done it again. This is a nice parody of superheroes, featuring Pamela Anderson as the voice of Exotica Jones. Exotica is an exotic dancer at The Tenderloins, where she is the patron's favorite stripper. She has a vibrating belly ring that alerts her when she is needed at headquarters where she is known as Agent 0069 aka Stripperella. This episode was about a plastic surgeon placing exploding breast implants in models. It was fun to watch and had good dialogue. You have to remember it's a parody or else it comes off as stupid. The girls look very hot, Jessica Rabbit hot. Me like it a lot.

In an update on Spike Lee's case against Viacom over the name Spike TV, director Spike Jones Jr. has spoken out in defense of TNN saying that if they can be sued for using it, what's to keep Spike Lee from suing him over a movie on his father titled "Spike". It's a fucked up world out there boys and girls.

L'AUBERGE ESPAGNOLE


This is the best movie I have seen recently. Sure I loved Hulk, X2, and a few others, but this movie just hit all the right buttons. It's funny, it's sad, it makes me want to move to Barcelona. It moved at a good clip through the entire movie and when the end came I wished for more.

I've always wanted to travel, and I've always been told to go to school, get a job and then travel when you've retired. Right, when I'm 65 I doubt I'll be able to enjoy the wonders a foreign city has to offer. I need to travel now, when I can live it up. That's my new goal, fuck school, it can wait. The world can't.

A revised edition of Stephen King's The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger - Resumption is being relesed, to be quicly followed by the last three books of the series. All this over the next 17 months. Wow. I'm so used to waiting a minimuum of two years for the next chapter in a series (that bastard Robert Jordan). At least King has a good excuse for taking so long, I mean he did almost get killed, but the waiting is finally over.
The reason I love this series is that it is very different from others that are around. It is definitely fantasy, yet it is not set against the same backdrop everyone uses. Instead of dungeons and dragons, we're in a western, set in the future. After reading these books you have to go back and read all of King's other books to see if he's laid out any clues or references to the Dark Tower. A very engrossing read.

I must also mention (incase you haven't heard) the new Harry Potter book is out. While not as deep as the Dark Tower books it is quite enjoyable. It takes me back to my younger days when I firsted journeyed into the world of magic and fantasy with such delights as The Chronicles of Narnia and Edward Eager's Tales of Magic .

A small update on what's going on with Spike TV and the bullshit lawsuit filed by Shelton Lee. Overnight the station was able to change it's ad campaign from pushing the name to pushing the idea. They also claim to have lost approx. $17million because of the lawsuit. They get their chance to appeal in September, meaning they lose even more money. Hopefully they'll win and slap good old Shelton with a countersuit to get back their lost income. ARTICLE

I just watched The Hulk and absolutly loved it. Finally a comic book movie that looks like a comic book. The transitions Ang Lee uses from scene to scene and the superimpostion gives the affect of looking at a comic book page with live action instead of stills. Other movies have captured the essence of the characters and stories from the comics but Hulk really captures the entire comic book feel.

I was impressed with CGI. I agree Hulk doesn't look as good as Gollum from the Two Towers but I got what I expected: a big green monster in purple shorts. The only times I even thought about the CGI was the few times the camera did extreme closeups of him and then it was only a fleeting thought in the back of my head.

This is not an action film, so don't expect it to be. It's a dramatic movie by an art director. If you love great stories, love the Hulk, or love comics, you'll love this movie.

p.s.
Thank you Ang Lee for not making him say "Hulk, smash!!!"

I posted the following at the Six Shooter Comix Forums page. They're the awsome guys that bring us Free Comix every month.

All the good stories have already been written.

Is that statement true? How original can something be these days? When you get an idea for a story that sounds great, do you look around to see if there's already something similar or do you just go ahead and write it?

For example a friend and I were brainstorming on characters. We both know a girl named Raven who we decided to base a character on. We read up on Ravens, mainly the Native American mythology. Raven is considered a trickster, shape shifter, greedy, etc. We then did a write up of this character. A few days later I’m reading the new Mystique book and realize her name is Raven and she's a changeling. We in no way copied her character but still came out with a very similar character (except for the blue skin).

Example #2
We're sitting around again, brainstorming. (More writing and less talking would probably be better) He starts setting up a scene for me "This person does this, then that happens, and she kills so and so blah blah blah" "Didn't we watch a show last week where that happened?" "What? Huh yea I think we did" "Fuck" "It was cool though" "Yea". Unknowingly he had fused 3 different shows into one scene.

Are there any stories left to write?

TNN wants to change it's name to Spike TV and bill itself as the first network for men. I guess they haven't heard of ESPN, but that's not the problem. The problem is egomaniac director Spike Lee. He say's they're trying to capitilize of his name. His real name isn't even Spike, it's Shelton. Fucking Shelton. He's won a temporary injunction preventing Viacom from changing TNN's name to Spike TV. Jesus Christ. He even has Johnny Cochran representing him. And to think there's a judge in this country that agree's with him. I don't believe it. Lee and Cochran need to team up and do some group suicide.

Sorry for my outburst. Included in the fine programming that will be offered by Spike TV is a new animated program from Spiderman creator Stan Lee. Striperella follows the adventures of a striper who fights crime. Come on, it's Stan Lee, you have to give it a shot. Did I mention she's voiced by Pamela Anderson? "Exotic Dancer by night, Crime Fighter later at night" Super powers, yes sir, glass cutting nipples.!!! OK, it's cheesy as shit, but atleast they still have Star Trek TNG.

Japan has always represented the future to me. Crowded, new technology, less censorship, more freedom, etc. I don't know if it's all in my mind, but it sounds so cool in so many ways. But I guess instead of being liberated the people are really just sheep who follow the next manufactured fad. Suicide as a fad? That's just mind blowing. It sounds like they're not used to doing anything alone. As an individual. Even to commit suicide they have to be part of a group. Maybe Japan doesn't sound so cool anymore.

I'm all over Kazaa right now checking out some music recommended by Joshua Ellis of Zenarchery fame. In his Citylife column he talks about the musical soundtrack for the 21st century and he lists a few albums that he would include. So far, with the exception of David Bowie, they all feel to slow, to laid back. Don't get me wrong, everyone of the albums mentioned is a great one, they just don't fit my vision of futuristic music. I imagine it faster and harder, visions of the bloodbath club scene from Blade dance in my head. Or Mos Def and Massive Attack 'I Against I' , Rammstein 'Feuer Frei', etc. Mean music. Fighting music. My view of the future is a dark, post apocolyptic one. Two different futures require two different soundtracks.

I use a cable modem and that means sharing a network with people in my neighborhood. I always thought it would be cool to chat with them or atleast be able to see who was around me. Now, Trepia allows you to do just that. It works like a buddy list that automatically adds other Trepia users that are in a nearby location. Unfortunatly it only works if you have an 802.11b (Wi-Fi) card, which I don't, so i'm SOL on trying it out. I'm going to look into Wi-Fi to see what it's all about. ARTICLE

I found a great blog today via Peter Maass's column at MSN. I enjoyed reading about Iraq from the point of view of someone who is actually living through it. Salam Pax is not just going to pack his bags in a week or a month, and move back to his cushy condo, and onto the next news story of the day. His story is real, and doesn't have the anti or pro USA bullshit attached to it. He just tells it how he sees it.

He had a quote on his site that brings together everything I've always thought about the West.
      

"the West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion
but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often
forget this fact, non-Westerners never do."
----------

Samuel P. Huntington

I've had conversations with friends on why the West (whites) came out on top of the East (everyone else). I've always said it's because they had the bigger stick. That was the only thing going for them. This quote just puts it into more academic terms.

6.01.2003

This is just cool. You know how you have conversations that start with "What would you do with a million dollars?". After going through the Star Trek Experience a few years ago I actually replied with "Turn my house into the Enterprise." I guess someone beat me to it.
I found a good looking MT Tutorial over at Tokyo Shoes. I feel like I'm using the geocities version of blogs. I know I could pay and get the ad off the page and I"m not against paying, but MT sounds like it's where the big boys blog. That's where I want to be.

I feel so used today. I spent around $140 on a record player. Only $40 on the actual turntable, but then I needed a new stylus and an phono amp so I could use it on my home system which doesn't have a phono jack. That doesn't include records, which are cheap at $1. So I bought a few that I consider classics: Michal Jackson's Thriller LP, Moody Blues Day's of Future Passed, Beach Boys Endless Summer, and a few others. They're great albums but couldn't I just of bought them on CD or more likely, downloaded them from the internet? Oh well, if I get tired of it I'll sell it on ebay.

God, it's hot as hell outside. Peace.
Hello everyone. I've been reading blogs for about a month and I've decided to give it a try. My goal is to have a decent blog that people will actually want to read on a regular basis. If not I'll at least have a sort of journal. The coolest blog I actually check every day belongs to Joshua Ellis at Zenarchery.com I heard about it through his column in the Las Vegas City Life. I really enjoy his writing.

I was going to post a photo taken a few months ago at the Phoenix Comicon with a really hot model/porn star, Cheyenne Silver. But alas, I figured out you can't post images to blogspot. Once I get my own web space you'll definatly see it. I don't know why since I rarely look good in photos, but I'll put it up.

This is a good test post in my opinion. I'll try to publish it now and see what happens. Laterz.
