Random Stuff

~Miley Cryus, I am getting a little sick of your tabloid stories. It seems she being known more for her wild nights out drunk or her completely panty-less short-shorts. Really, you actually make sure to bend over in front of the photo guys to show off your ass. Come on. We get it, you want to show that you're not the Disney girl anymore. Now just start making music again.

~Pretty good Game of Thrones impressions.

This is the way!

~Final Fantasy Tactics: I've played up to the Deep Dungeon (side quest of the game). And I've gotten every side character with exception of the one from the DD. DD is a very hard side quest to play because the monsters are very strong. I don't remember exactly how I beat the DD back in the 90s when I beat the game the first time. This game does make me want to play the undated version of the game. (PSP version or the fan made versions) Side Note: The Deep Dungeon has some strange random battles in it if you play around with them.

~Bethany Benz: Somehow, this woman took the path from being a reality star to hardcore pornstar. She went from being a magazine model (for black themed magazines), to music video girl to reality star in that Ray J show. Then, she threw herself right into hardcore porn. (Bangbros) Usually, women get into porn (and usually failing) as a stepping stone into mainstream work. Going from being in porn to music videos and actress is usually their dream. This Benz girl did it the opposite way. Why? Don't get me wrong she is damn sexy.

the weakest and wimpiest fight

This is probably the weakest and wimpiest fight I've ever witnessed

Was it the skinny jeans restricting their movements?

There are girls that fight better than these two.

Lisa Marie Presley: So Long and thanks for all the thetan bills?

Lisa Marie Presley: (The other departure?)

Because everyone is watching and listening to the whole Tom and Katie thingy, people overlooked a somewhat other famous Scientology member named Lisa Marie Presley that may have left the Church.

From The Village Voice, ((Last month, we noted that Lisa Marie Presley's single "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet," which she released ahead of her new album, Storm and Grace, came with lyrics that read like a kiss-off to the Church of Scientology, even using some of Scientology's jargon -- like the very telling word suppressive. (For several years there have been rumors that Presley was disillusioned with the church.)))

Here are some of the damning lyrics from her song.

((This here is a city without lights
Those are all the people without eyes
Churches, they don't have a soul
Soup for sale without a bowl
Religion so corrupt and running lives
Farewell, fair weathered friends
I can't say I'll miss you in the end))

Tell us how you really feel, Lisa.

I remember there was a lot of talk about her distancing herself from the Space Church years ago. However, she really seems to mean it now. Maybe she can give Katie some tips.

Any woman that can survive being married to Nic Cage and Michael Jackson has to be a strong woman.

 Even the damn ad is creepy.

Medal of Honor: Underground (Returning to Paris)

Medal of Honor: Underground (Returning to Paris)

This is one of my favorite tracks from the Underground score. I think Michael Giacchino did an amazing with this track. It has a “march” feel to it.

Prometheus (part 2)

Prometheus (part 2)

Besides the great directing, one of the best things about the movie is the casting.  While the cast isn’t as blue-collar as the Alien cast.  There are more characters to deal with in this movie.  The ones that the story decides to focus on are very cool. 

-Noomi Rapaceplays the lead character and she goes through some major stuff in this story.  I liked her naïve outlook to her findings and her loss in her faith when she realizes that her findings are more sinister than they were led to believe.  There is a great scene involving a piece of machinery that is both disturbing and interesting to watch.  I couldn’t believe how horrifying it is. 

-Michael Fassbender: Fassbender plays David the android.  David steals the show in every scene that he is in.  David is a very complex character with different motives.  I really loved the way Michael handles the character.  David is a great character that is both a villain a bit of a hero in a manner of speaking.

- Charlize Theron:  Theron is also interesting to watch as the cold corporate CEO that is supposedly there for the bottom line.  Is she an android?  Theron isn’t saying.  I believe she is.  Some say she isn’t.

- Idris Elba:  He plays the seasoned starship captain that has more to him than we are led to believe.  Elba is great as always.  He has a southern accent in this one. 

The score by Marc Streitenfeld is more atmospheric than being a structured score.  It has a few standout moments with a strong main theme.  Harry Gregson-Williams helped create the main theme in the film.  There is clear homage to Jerry Goldsmith’s main Alien theme, and a bit of James Horner’s Aliens theme. 

As I stated before, the music is more in tune with Scott’s original intent with Goldsmith’s music that being more theme heavy. 

Overall, I really enjoyed Prometheus immensely.  It didn’t disappoint at all.  While it is more of a standalone story sprouting a series of movies for a new franchise, the Alien franchise begins from this series indirectly.  And, that is very fun to watch.  “Hey the Alien series can go on while we deal with the threads from Prometheus.”

We learn whom that alien belongs to in the Alien movie, but it doesn’t completely tie directly to that first movie.  I enjoyed the fact the movie doesn’t answer every question and adds more questions to the story by the end.  It is certainly good to see Scott working on sci-fi again.  It has its flaws, but damn I love this movie. 

Grade: A-
