I get it Hollywood is spent of ideas. HecklerSpray has an article about the new smurfs movie and that it will be live action.

It worked for transformers and Alvin and the chipmunks, so they figure what other cartoons from that period can we recreate.

• Well Thundercats?? Nah putting cats in human clothes is more effort than its worth.
• DinoRiders? They are saving that for Jurassic Park 4.
• Bucky O’Hare? Hero movies are trendy. but nobody respects rabbits.

I just picture this movie being the Blue Man Group combined with Honey I shrunk the Kids and my grandfather chasing them down with Eiffel 65 playing in the background.

If I could see one 80’s show as a live action movie it would definitely be Pirates of Dark Water. That show was awesome, but really they could only ruin it.

So I am sure everyone heard about the new 3G iPhone announced yesterday. Yada yada yada no need for a post about that, I think the real question that no one is addressing is when is the price of the Touch going to go down.

The new iPhone costs 199 for the 8GB and 299 for the 16GB, while the Touch costs 299 for the 8GB and 399 for the 16GB. Is this a discount on the iPhone like with normal phones on a new contract?

Regardless it seems backwards to me that the iPhone costs less than the Touch eventhough it’s just a dumbed down version.

Long story short I want an iPod Touch and I am whiney.

So I went away for a few days over the weekend to Harford.  I knew i was going to be going away for like 4 days so I left out the auto cat feeder and auto cat waterer. So anyways, I come home and the cats are just being rebellious. I believe they were trying to usurp me.

So I thought about it long and hard and I feel it came down to the food and water. They thought they didn’t need me any more. It’s like when animals are traveling in a pact and find a stream and plenty of fresh water they start to kill off the weaker animals, because they no longer need help and those weaker animals are going to run down the food supply. (On a side note, I assume this is what happened to Big Foot. And the Johnson family)

 So long story short once they ran out of food, they realized who was the boss.

Me.

With the release of GTA IV I really want to get an XBOX 360. This isn’t anything new, but now its in overdrive. I really want to try the online.

Here is the dilemma though, no its not that I can’t afford it, I feel like I am at a point in my life where I need a new Handle. Hans Gillman is good for certain games, but I feel i need something with more ring to it and maybe even that will incite fear in young children and old men. How am I supposed to intimidate children while playing UNO on XBOX live when my name just sounds like normal foreign guy. (Normal foreign guy in the Internet world = pervert or pedophile and no child is afraid of that). Hans Gillman can only get anger from a draw 4 wild, I want fear even on a red 2 (and I’m not talking about Wedge Antilles).

Any thoughts?

Well I am sorry about the lack of posts lately. Most people who read this know I am moving to Hartford, CT next month and have been working on my resume and trying to find a job. Apparently this takes a lot of time. BUt fear not my loyal fans, there will be more posts to heckle me on shortly.

RANT WARNING

First i apologize for the bad heading but I am not too happy with our good friends apple. I have been a big fan of apple for a while, but lately geeze you guys need to calm down.

Fist apple is suing New York city for using an apple in its logo. Are you frakin’ serious? How long has New York been the big apple?? Well I don’t know and I am too lazy to look it up, but I am going to say longer than Steve Jobs has even been alive. This is just as bad as the recent T-Mobile suing Engadget Mobile for using a similar shade of purple in their logo.

Now you want to piss me off more?? I do not want SAFARI!! If i wanted it I would have downloaded it myself. I thought about it, I really did, but now that its in every software update that apple pushes out I’m not going to download it. A software update is to, get this, update software. If i don’t have it, then there is nothing to update.  Don’t take advantage of the fact that everyone has iTunes and doesn’t notice what they are downloading. Thats an unacceptable line to cross.

Oh also whats the point of a $16,000 laptop that doesn’t have a cd or dvd-drive or a sleek touch screen phone without 3G.

Apple, this is your warning.

(NOTE: This is an empty threat, I wouldn’t even hit a child, but then again thats probably because most children are tougher than I am.)

• Do you want to be in the next Guitar Hero game???
• Do you like to quote unquote Rock out with your cock out?
• Do you like looking like an idiot on youTube?
• Do you still live in your parents basement apparently in England?

Well now you can!
Seriously enough of the terrible Guitar Hero promotions. It seems anyone who wants to throw together a promotion these days goes, “hey what the hell, lets just get a copy of Guitar Hero and let people play it”

This is not a promotion, it’s is a video game. It worked for a while, but you can’t go anywhere without seeing this now. I see it at least once a week. The ones the drive me the craziest is when they do it at the mall. At any given mall you can play Guitar Hero at a minimum of 2 stores. Why should I stand in center court and play when I can go somewhere else and there will be less of a line.

Ehh forget it I am going home to play. See you later it’s time to Rock out with my….

When I read about the remake of this movie, I have a different point of view. Everyone seems to be all against this. Saying without Keanu and whoever that other guy was, its not going to be good. NEWSFLASH: It wasn’t good to begin with, that is what made it most excellent.

I am usually against remakes, as I have told Michael Bay a few times and will soon tell J.J. Abrams, but really what are you going to ruin. I was under the impression that Harold and Kumar go to white castle was all ready a gnarly remake of Bill and Ted.

I recently interviewed the other guy from Bill and Ted and asked him a few questions about what he thought about the remake. His answers were pretty surprising. More surprising was that he now works as a telephone repair man.

Me: How is it going the other guy from Bill and Ted.

Other Guy: …..

Me: Well that’s tubular, I am glad you are so good you have nothing to say. I am sure all four readers o this blog want to know, how did you end up working with telephone booths? Were you just trying to relive your past? I mean you are working with phones and I am pretty sure you are high right now. Your life sounds like a much less exciting version of the movies.

Other Guy: ….

Me: You should try and timetravel in the phone booth now, just for fun. Or have you already tried that? Maybe you can go back to when people remembered your name. (NOTE: I don’t think anyone ever remembered his name)

Other Guy: (puzzled look)……

Me: Good talk brah, keep up the good work.

So when it came down to it I didn’t even ask him anything about the movie, but I feel like I covered my bases.

UPDATE: Apparently the other guy is dead. I have no idea who that stoner was that I interviewed, but it explains his confusion.

Yesterday, i believe, Southpark studios finally has posted every episode of South Park online for free. It’s about time some people in the entertainment business seem to get it.

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO STEAL YOUR STUFF BECAUSE IT IS FREE and easier and faster than going to the store and buying it. A legal alternative that does the same thing is a great idea.

According to Mashable the site makes money off of ad revenue and that is split 50/50 between Comedy Central and the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

So apparently I heard yesterday that even if the merger is approved the radios are not compatible to receive both frequencies?!? So you can’t have both unless you buy a whole new receiver? That sucks.
