This section, previously known as the weekly complaint, is where I bitch about whatever the hell is on my warped mind. I changed the week because I realized it was no longer weekly since I'm a lazy bum.
First of all, I have no real problem with rap itself. what I do have a problem with is when the rich, preppy, posers at my $40,00 school start calling themselves a gang and riding around in their $10,000 red Jaguars blasting "It's a Hard-Knock Life" on their $5,000 stereo systems. Do they not to realize that THEY AREN'T BLACK?! I mean it's one thing to like rap but it's a completely different thing to go around speaking Ebonics and acting like the songs are about you as you sit in your $90,000 "crib" in the most exclusive suburb in the city. I thank you for listening to this weekly bitch.
My problem with the backstreet boys is a simple one, really. First of all I believe that they are pure evil. Second they opened the floodgates for every other group of five guys who shave off all their body hair and sound exactly the same. I mean can anybody but some obsessed teeny bopper tell the difference between Five, N'Sync, 98 degrees, and the backstreet boys? I didn't think so. And another thing, why don't they all just stop pretending that they are different groups and admit that they are all the same five guys. I mean has anybody really seen any two of these groups in the same place at the same time? I didn't think so. I thank you for listening to this weekly bitch.
Erekose, the guy who runs The Core, has constantly been pestering to update my page. He just doesn't understand that I just got the Brood Wars expansion set for star craft. Well, it's updated now isn't it you bastard?! HAPPY?!
Come on! How can anybody NOT like Star Wars!? The trilogy are the best movies ever made. For several reasons, which I will put in a top ten someday. For one thing the science fiction elements are excellent, the plot and script are terrific, the musical score is incredible, the special effects are great considering the time in which it was made, and the casting was perfect. But most of all Chewbacca. Can any other character in a movie put so much emotion into a line? I don't think so. Thank you for listening to this weekly bitch.
PLEASE! Who in their right mind acctually thinks that the "Y2K bug" will acctually bring the world to an end?! If any of you reading this think so, YOU ARE FUCKING MORONS!!! WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!? I swear that when Y2K comes around ant that damned bug doen't turn off a single freaking light bulb i am going to find some of those jerkasses who build Y2K bunkers and laugh my ass of at them because they spent their entire life savings building a shack in the desert and stocking up on dehydrated water that some genius thought up to sell to these morons and get rich. Hey, wait a minute here.
For my last birthday my sister got me a Sony discman and a certificate to buy a cd. The next day I got a cd put some Energizers in and it's lasted pretty well up until now when they died and e replaced them with Duracell batteries. within 3 days a fresh pair of duracell batteries was completely drained. THREE DAYS!! Am I the only person who finds that strange?! What is going on here?! Have Sony and Duracell come together in some sort of unholy alliance to waste my money on batteries that die before you can finish listening to Korn?! Damn you Duracell!! Damn you Sony!!
Now just for the information of those who don't know me personally or may somehow have found this site in another country, I am an American. I am some mixture of proud/shameful about that fact. One thing I am proud of is American movies. Honestly can anybody say that the Star Wars movies are bad movies? This however is not my point. Perhaps I am horribly uninformed but I have never heard of a movie from another country. Now I know that there are dozens of artsy, pretentious french films and i'm sure there are others but I have never heard of say, a scottish adventure movie, or an Italian sci-fi? Even Dark Horizons, a movies page based in Australia with listings movie openings in Australia and the UK only has American movies from months ago in those areas. What's going on? Do we American's have the monopoly on Adventure, sci-fi, or horror movies? This can't be possible. I would frankly love to see a sci-fi with a scottish accent that wasn't some American doing his impression of an accent. Maybe it's just me but that's all I care about. I thank you for putting up with this unusually long bitch session.
A few weeks ago, myself and a few of my friends went to see 'Stigmata'. For those of you who have not seen it the movie is about a girl who lives in New York and suddenly starts having a religious experience known as the stigmata, where a person recieves the wounds of Christ on their hands, feet, head, back, and eventually a spear wound through the side. The point is, this is a very good movie and I reccomend you go see it. But last week I was surfing around looking for movie news and I stumbled across the Film.com review for Stigmata. It was scathing! Nothing but bad things to say. They compared it to 'The Exorcist' which is unfair because they are completely different. The review said that the director 'pulled out every cliche in the book' citing the scene where Frankie tries to seduce the priest sent to investigate her. This is a key moment that illustrates the severity of her stigmata(one of the other "symptoms" is demonic episodes and greater succeptability to temptation.). What's the problem here? This is a very good movie and if the person who wrote this review actually watched the movie, which i doubt she did, she probably heard a description from some overly religious friend of hers or maybe she's the friend, she would know this. All that being said, Stigmata rules and the woman who wrote this review, you know who you are, should be fired.
Okay, so this complaint is a little late, but better late than never, well, not always I guess. I mean it would be better if armageddon never came wouldn't it? But I digress. The point here is Thanksgiving, the day when all Americans celebrate the arival of a bunch of puritanical prudes, whose greatest contribution to American culture would be 'The Scarlet Letter,' which sucked. And how do we celebrate it, you ask? Why with a ritual sacrifice, of course. Of course noone calls it that, they call it 'Thanksgiving Dinner,' but it's a textbook(don't ask which textbook) ritual sacrifice, the killing and eating of an animal to commemerate a past event. What the hell is the bloody point? Ah well, thank you for enduring this outrageous bitch.
This is a topic that has had me pissed for some time now. Ever since the dawn of 'Next Generation' consoles the gaming world has been fraught with games that have fancy, beautiful graphics and zero substance, negative ammounts of gameplay or replay value. What happened to the good old days when gameplay or story was the key design element? Does anybody remember Legend of Zelda on the NES, how about FFIII, by no means were these technological masterpieces but their story and gameplay have made them household names among gamers. And what about innovation, honestly how many RTS's can one make before they become annoying as hell. Thank God some designers actually seem to have some sense and are developing halfway innovatinve games or the entire industry would be shot to hell. Wow this is better than therapy.
That's right folks, HYPOCRITES! Think about this for a second and you will see the truth. First off, they claim to be a bunch of good anti-capitalist revolutionaries trying to pull the wool off the collective eyes of the masses, very commendable guys, but what about YOUR SECRET AGENDA?! Aren't they in one of the most bloated commercial effegies of capitalism in the world, the music industry? Where has most anti-free speach been coming from lately, The MUSIC INDUSTRY in the form of them trying to squash MP3s because they're afraid they'll lose a few thousand dollars in sales, PLEASE THAT IS CRAP TO ANY MUSIC EXEC! Now you're saying, 'But Denoi, RATM doesn't do that its the evil record lables!' who the hell do you think puts out those CDs you buy?! The Compact Disc Gnomes? 'Fraid not chummer! It's EPIC Records, a company owned by SONY, know what else SONY owns. . .? SWEATSHOPS!!! THAT'S RIGHT, CHUMMER, RATM IS FUNNELING MONEY TO SWEATSHOPS! If that isn't proof enough, how's this, RATM always dresses in ratty clothes like they just woke up in a van outside in the arena parking lot but guess what? THEY'RE LOADED, RICH!! WHERE DO YOU THINK ALL THE MONEY FROM THEIR RECORD, MERCHENDISE, AND CONCERT TICKET SALES GOES?! AT BEST 30% GOES TO CHARITY BECAUSE UNCLE SAM TAKES HIS 10% EPIC AND SONY TAKE THEIR 20-30% AND RAGE TAKES, lets be kind, 40%, that still leaves only 20% to charity! and of that 20 percent at least 5% goes to administrative costs, so in the end 15% of what you spend on that T-shirt, CD, bumper sticker, or Ticket actually reaches the Zapataists or Mumia Abu-Jamal. wanna know how much 15% of $17.95 is kiddies? NOT MUCH! SO DON'T BE FOOLED BY RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!
That's right friends, i have zero respect for the man anymore. What the hell is his problem with Napster!? 'Oh, they're stealing our music that's copyright infringement!' Fuck you, Lars, it's only illegal if somebody makes money and napster is a free damn service, jackass! If you go after Napster then you had better go after the companies that make CD-R and blank casettes because it's the same damn thing. Besides, MP3 has been around for years and you decide to complain NOW? And i am NOT badmouthing Metallica: gods of hard rock, just lars and anyone else with a problem with napster. I say to you, my friends, support Napster, visit their site and take part in the buycott by purchasing cd's from bands who support it like Billy Corgan and Limp Bizkit. And as for you, Lars, CRAM IT JERKY!! NOBODY LIKES A WHINER!
Where did we go wrong, somewhere along the line we went astray ald allowed these no-talent hacks to gain control. In the past we kept a tight leash on these gay little groups but now they pop up like weeds. Personally I believe there can be only one solution: the cancelling of Bevis and Butthead. that's right, no matter how much you hated the sophomoric humour of that show they provided a vital service they would watch music videos and say either 'huhuhuhuh this sucks huhuhuhuh' or 'heheheh this kicks ass heh heheheh.' this vital service kept countless morons in check and their absence has hur us all. I am not saying they should be brought back, they sucked(huhuhuhuh) but we need something to fill the breach and lead the mindless sheep to good music like punk or metal.
Whoever said violence never solved anything should be beaten. The following is a list of all the times violence has solved something:
The American Revolution The Scottish Revolution The French Revolution The War Between the States World War I World War II Star Wars Every single superbowl & the time i kicked that annoying poseur in the nuts, solved my problem of him poking me in the stomach all the time in 8th grade. So if anyone still thinks violence doesn't solve anything i'll beat you with a baseball bat wrapped with barbed wire. And now that problem is solved. SEE?!
