Maria Brink’s band, In This Moment has been getting worse and worse as time goes on. This has been made up for by her near insistence of showing off her massive cleave as time goes on.
Eh, honestly, I’d trade them in for a half decent album, but, you know.
Godflesh’s entire catalog could get the “Albums You Didn’t Buy” treatment. Word is that this reunion show went so well that they may be planning more. This is good, because Godflesh is awesome.
There are movies that are so bad they’re good and there are movies that are so bad they’re bad. You’d think a movie called Mega Shark v. Giant Octopus would be the former.
Idiot.
No, no, I was fooled, too.
In Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus Debbieorah Gibson plays a cougar who drives a submarine around and has sex with an Asian guy. Lorenzo Lamas plays a bad ass who’s in charge of the military. We know he’s a bad ass because he wears all black instead of a uniform and has a pony tail. We’re never actually told what it is he does, but it’s bad ass. The story revolves around Deborahbie Gibson falling in love with a geeky, Japanese scientist.
No, no, really.
OK, here we go. Debbie Gibson and a friend steal a research submarine and find a megalodon and a giant octopus trapped in ice.
These two giants of the deep go on to do crazy shit like, eat an airliner from the sky (see, Great Whites jump from the ocean to eat birds, so obviously a giant Great White could eat a cruising jumbo jet) destroy an oil rig off the coast of Asia (I think it was Japan, but does it really matter? I think a member of the government apologized to the octopus for causing an ecological disaster) and, oh yeah, eating the golden gate bridge.
The last interesting thing that happens in the whole, damn movie
Debbie Gibson then lets the Japanese scientist put his electric youth in her and they decide that phermones will cause the Mega Shark to versus the Giant Octopus…which it does…for four minutes (I know I timed it). Then the movie ends.
I know you’re like “George, this synopsis sucks, it doesn’t tell us anything and is confusing.” Yes, it makes more sense than the movie and has imparted pretty much the entirety of it. MSvGO is the kind of movie where they couldn’t be bothered to film the stock footage of a hand on a joystick steering left, right, up and down, therefore it looks like the protagonist got a manicure 7 times in 2 minutes in a submarine. You can just imagine an actor asking the director, “If Debbie Gibson is trying to sneak into a secure, government research area on a beach, why would she wear 4″ heels and a mini skirt?” and the director looking back at him and with all seriousness replying, “Why? BECAUSE FUCK YOU, THAT’S WHY!!!!!!!!!!” It’s a movie called Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus that’s two hours long and has the title battle end in less than five minutes. It may be the worst movie ever.
Really, no, really. The synopsis on IMDB pretty much sums it all up.
I just don’t understand why this movie was ever made..May be the producer was itching to let some(Few million) money slip out of his fingers, just like that. Apart from the title of the movie, there is nothing else that is worthy of attention….
This movie was Dead dull from beginning to end and bear with me as i unfold its mysteries(as if there were any!!!)
(AGAIN SPOILERS AHEAD SO SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME AND CONSIDER THE ABOVE MESSAGE AS A WARNING AND CARRY ON WITH YOUR BUSINESS!!!!) …………………… ………………………. …………………………….. …………………………….. ……………………………………. ………………………………………… …………………………………………. ……………………………………………..
So you decided to read anyway. Never mind, let’s begin: It all begins when two scientists accidentally discover a mega shark and giant octopus buried in ice under sea.Now the ice obviously breaks due to a whale collapsing incident which our doctors were in right time to witness by the way on an experimental submarine which they had stolen for exploration( probably written in script to give the BADASS side to the otherwise nerdy protagonist i.e, Deborah Gibson the woman playing Emma)
Anyway, soon after these prehistoric creatures are at loose once again, they start hunting for food and bizarre incidents start happening all around the globe like tearing up of an oil rig by our friend octopus and disappearance of an airplane flying at 15000 feet in air at around 200 nautical miles per hour: Courtesy Mega shark(Now Come on, enough is enough!! I could digest the oil rig bit, but this is too much! The shark actually jumps i don’t know 15000 feet in the air grabs the plane by its wings and plumbs it down under the ocean,Jesus!)
Anyhoo, soon the world turns to our protagonists Emma, Her retired or i don’t know retarded professor and her would be lover Dr. Seiji Shimada for solution to this menace….So after a lot of of shots devoted to what can only be described as a high school chemistry laboratory our fellow doctors come up with a solution
heromones – To lure them as bait(only after having an intense session of love making in the so called research lab storage room: this is where it strikes them!!! What a lame excuse to put a Sex Scene in the movie!!)
The creatures however are too smart for us humans and although they get lured by pheromones(now who wouldn’t!)they eventually escape, These are troubled times as our Governments are now thinking of deploying nukes to stop these beasts and by governments i mean a guy with a ponytail A.K.A Allan Baxter played by Lorenzo Lamas, now i still couldn’t figure out which agency was he working for and honestly speaking i have no stamina or will to watch this movie again, just for that!
Ultimately Our genius doctors/ Scientist Decide that since the pheromone thing worked a little bit, they are gonna give it another try, but this time they ‘ll lure the beasts to a single location far from civilization under the abyss of ocean, so that they can kill each other off and finally finish off what they started millions of of years ago…. The rest my friends, as they say, is History….
P.S- The special effects were not so “special”…
P.P.S- If these creatures were so hungry all the time why didn’t they destroyed the submarine(which had EMMA AND VINCE on board)and ate them, when it was meters away from them when they first got loose??(My guess:Otherwise the movie would not have been made!!)
Watch it at your own risk!!!
Yup, that’s about it. That being said, I’m still so watching Mega Python vs. Gatoroid.
*The GSS posits that Godzilla is always the perfect size for causing maximum damage. that is, if Godzilla will cause more damage by running ON buildings he will be several thousand feet tall, if he will cause more damage by running THROUGH buildings he will be the “30 stories high” he’s described as in the theme song to the cartoon
Hate is a hard thing to pull off in a band. On the one hand you have successful hate. It’s no secret that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards would happily dance on each other’s graves Mick Jagger danced on Keith Richards’ grave in 1972 and Keith has been waiting to return the favor (also for the zombie apocalypse when his people will rise up and throw off the shackles of oppression). But that’s a difficult thing to sustain. I mean, David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen hate each other similarly, which ended up in Van Hagar (and if you like Sammy Hagar better than David Lee Roth please, take your dominant hand, make a fist and punch yourself in the wedding vegetables as hard as you can until you pee blood for a week. We don’t need any more of your kind around here). Similarly, anyone who saw “Some Kind of Monster” saw that everyone in Metallica hated everyone else in Metallica (hell, even Kirk – who pretended not to hate everyone because, you know, all he does is play guitar solos and there are literally millions of people who could do it better). The result of that, Exile on Main Street? No, sub-Limp Bizkit nu metal…with no guitar solos.
Also, Yoko. No discussion of hate is complete without Yoko.
So, yeah, if you’re in a band and you hate each other there’s a better chance than not that the result will be shitty.
By their third album Living Colour was deep in hate with each other. Original bassist Muzz Skillings had quit and been replaced by Doug Wimbish, who brought an almost obsessive love of the Digitech Whammy Pedal. In an interview shortly after the album was released, guitarist Vernon Reid said that during its recording he and vocalist Corey Glover were arguing to the point of disagreeing just to disagree. It’s really not surprising that the band broke up pretty much immediately following the album’s release, but if you’re going to go out (albeit temporarily) this is a good note to go out on…
Dammit if this isn’t a good slab of hard rockin’ music.
Living Colour was always a band who tried to shoe horn jazz fusion into hard rock and were often overshadowed by their race (Black people play rock music!!!!!), their image (OMG!!!! I love Corey “About the suit, no I don’t surf, I just look good in it” Glover’s hair!!!!!!) and everything other than the fact that they wrote really catchy, sometimes technically complex songs. On Stain, much of their success had already faded and it’s like they just said “fuck it.”
Also, Corey cut his hair
Both heavier and more experimental than either Vivid or Time’s Up. Stain sees the incorporation of electronic elements and “studio as instrument” production taken to a new level (this album, definitely, best experienced with headphones). If all you ever heard was the lead single, “Leave Me Alone” you’re doing yourself a disservice. The music here runs a pretty wide gamut from the pit ready “Auslander” and “This Little Pig” to the industrial funk of “Wall.” “Nothingness” – keeping in the great tradition of ballads about extreme depression – and “Postman” a track about a homicidal mail delivery guy. There really isn’t a bad track here (even the spoken word/synth track “Hemp” succeeds).
And you didn’t buy it, because you’re lame. Luckily for you it’s now available on Amazon MP3. You should go there and get it now. After you buy it, check out their new one The Chair in the Doorway, it’s also awesome.
The Mrs would like very much to have a small RV/conversion van for road trips. Such a conveyance would allow us to take all of our crap, plus all three dogs in relative comfort. Something that our current fake SUV does not allow (oh, we can take all of our crap, or we can take our dogs, but we can’t take the two).
There’s something appealing about this idea…especially if the van in question has six wheels, an all over Star Wars mural a kitchen and a water bed. Awwww yeah, bow down to the Battle Star van, y’all… (you do NOT want to miss pictures of the interior)
LAKERS, BITCHES!!!!!!
The Mrs. got me a pocket HD cam for Christmas. Haven’t used it that much, but I took it out to Settles yesterday when Steve and Todd were riding to play around with it. My current PCs don’t necessarily have 1080P editing capabilities, so long for videos may be out, but we’ll see…
It’d probably be better if my blog were wide enough to show the whole video. Hmmmm
Two BMX posts in a row..lookit me.
Look, there are constants in the world. Gravity (more or less), the speed of light (more or less,) time (more or less) and that Catfish’s bike will be an abomination against good taster and/or eyesight.
However, in an attempt to pick up on a little of the local flavor while riding for the troops in Bagdad Catfish done painted up his bike.
Can’t says I’m diggin’ the gold brakes, but the flat sand w/digital camo green highlights is aces.
Somehow, some way I’m stealing this idea, yeas, yes I am.
I’ve waxed nostalgic about my love for my first gen GT Pro Performer and my man-love of Eddie Fiola for a long long time. Sean Reid went so far as to even build up a 2nd Gen Pro Freestyle Tour and rock a classic GT uniform. At one point I was completely addicted to Guav’s Flickr because of all of the pretty, old BMX bikes on it.
So, I had smiled a bit when I saw this on the website of The Best Vert Rider of All Time
I have always wanted to own this bike. Ever since I was a kid i loved the Bike that Eddie Fiola rode at the Kellogs BMX event in England. Its not fully finished, but its looking good!
The details may not be completely right, but you can’t hate on the bike.
