A must see.....


A short little comment about something that almost made me cry because I found it so shocking/ fuckin halarious. Like most, I was in denial about the new Indiana Jones flick over the fact that they actually went "there" with most of the outlandishness. I had heard through the grapevine about a new southpark episode addressing the new Indiana Jones flick and went on the hunt to find it on the internet. The overall episode is pretty good, but the Indiana Jones parts are stuff of legend. I STRONGLY ADVISE you to check out the following link:

and-the-pinball+machine-rape-of-doom

Thats just a little taste of what I found to be the funniest shit I have seen in a long time. In case your wondering, this episode is from the new season and I believe its called "the china syndrome" or "china problem". If you need to track it down, go to surf the channel.com and look under tv shows; follow the links and bingo. Lucas face at the tail end of the pinball machine part alone is worth the admission.

Again, the Indiana Jones bits; priceless!

Dark Knight Review

Heath Ledger as Joker; See you at the oscars


I can't believe I took this long to write a review for the Dark Knight. Well, to say it nicely, it sucked. Haha Just kidding! I haven't been this captivated by a movie in a long time. It really was THE movie of the summer for me and I couldn't absorb everything it had to give the first time because of the intensity. I was litterally captivated, enthralled, taken away from my seat in the theatre and put on another planet. It was an experience, to say the least. First off, lets get it out of the way. Heath Ledger was amazing. The hype of his death I am sure didn't hurt this film, but regardless it can stand on its merrit of his excellent performance. He was the appitomy of insanity and it was fun watching two people on the same wave duke it out (that being Batman and Joker, of course ;). With that out of the way....... the other performances were terrific
.

Bale was amazing as usual, although his snarl as Batman still brings on the laughs of many (I understand why he does it, but he should tone it down as it borders on halarious. He got it just right in the interrigation scene with the joker tho). The rest of the cast was a great mix of well rounded talent that let the two stars shine and complimented the film without standing out and staining it with a bad performance (no small feat with the ensemble around the stars). Chris Nolan is a genious in every sense. Alot of the camera moves he does can be questioned by the purists (was that a jump cut?!!!), but his style and the way he draws you into the plot and makes you care about his characters overwrites any mistakes he does make. He truly will be our generations Steven Spielberg (Generation Y is what Im guessing there on now).

And as for the movie overall? Amazing, to say the least. I was on the edge of my seat, literally, for a quarter of the movie. I couldn't absorb it all. When they blew up the tumbler and it turned into the pod; Jesus F'n A. The kid in me cried, it was so beautiful. The intensity and spark between those two (Joker and Batman) was right where it should of been. The soundtrack was another perfect accesorie to an already tip top machine. It complimented and exuded emotion at all the intragal spots and never took away from the movie. To all involved with the movie; Bravo. As of this writing, you are deservedly the number 2 all time grossing movie. And as you should be. I have seen this movie multiple times and cannot wait till December 9th for the Blu ray edition! Film makers, take note. This is how it should be done.
