Toy Story 3 Review by Rod Pool

August 2nd, 2010 by 87 received 1 Comment »

The story may be over, but the dream will live on. At first I was reluctant, hell, even skeptical about the overwhelming uproar of positive reviews this movie has gotten: everywhere from “it made me cry” to “it gave me closure to my childhood.” These kinds of comments are not to be taken lightly, and you know how it is… Everyone tells you the movie is gonna be so amazing and you hope that the high expectations that everyone has been building up for you will pay off. And they did.

The movie is nothing short of a cinematic master piece, and director Lee Unkrich (Finding Nemo, Monsters INC) has certainly gotten the timing right. The story progresses without ever feeling rushed or forced. The characters evolve in the same matter as well, and talk about characters!

The ole gang is back, Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Mr. Potato Head, (voiced by Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusak and Don Rickles). The story introduces new, brilliantly written characters, that in a fantastic way resemble their own quirky and eccentric backgrounds; Ken is voiced by Micheal Keaton! (Beetlejuice, Batman) The cookie cuter barbie toy who wishes everything was hip to be square. And Lotso is voiced by Ned Beatty (who never did anything remarkable for the world nerds, believe me, I checked his IMDB. The whole time, I was going, “I have never… ok… wait…. none of this is worth mentioning…” but if you must…. he played a “bum” in the 2002 movie “This Beautiful Life,” not to be mistaken with Roberto Benigni‘s “Life is Beautiful,” which was a mistake I made. I’m sorry. I’m human. I’m entitled to make mistakes. You judgmental prick! but I digress). Lotso is a pink, fluffy, huggable bear, as well as the leader of the Sunnyside Daycare Center, where he make new toys suffer.

Recently Single Al Gore Finally Able To Listen To ...

August 2nd, 2010 by 87 received 1 Comment »

NASHVILLE, TN—Finally unhindered by his wife Tipper’s 25-year-long household ban on violent and sexually explicit music, former vice president Al Gore, 62, reportedly embraced his newfound independence this week by listening to the albums of the heavy metal band W.A.S.P.

“For the first time in decades, I get to play the kind of music I like without someone nagging me about what a bad influence it is,” said Gore, sitting on the floor of his living room as he cued up the song “Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)” on his stereo. “And I get to crank it up as loud as I want.”

“These guys are kicking some serious ass,” added the two-term U.S. Senator. “Check out this guitar break coming up—it’s nasty.”

Gore, who was prohibited from hearing music with graphic sex, violence, or drug references since Tipper founded the Parents Music Resource Center in 1985, confirmed yesterday that her crusade was “total bullcrap.” In addition, Gore said that listening to the forbidden W.A.S.P. albums over and over again had not turned him into a satanic dope fiend as his wife and her associates had warned.

“It sucked because we always had to listen to garbage like Carly Simon and Lyle Lovett all the time,” said Gore, who told reporters that he was “loving” being single again. “That stuff is lame, man. If it doesn’t have big balls and bigger riffs, get it out of my stereo!”

Today in History

August 1st, 2010 by 87 received No Comments »

James Riddle “Jimmy” Hoffa (born February 14, 1913 – disappeared July 30, 1975, declared legally dead July 30, 1982) was an American labor union leader and author.

Hoffa was involved with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union, as an organizer from 1932 to 1975. He served as the union’s General President from 1958 to 1971. Nixon blocked Hoffa from union activities until 1980; Hoffa was attempting to overturn this order and to regain support.

Hoffa’s rise to power

By 1952, Hoffa rose to national vice-president of the Teamsters’ IBT union, which was on its way to becoming the largest and most powerful single union in the United States. Hoffa quelled an internal revolt against Beck by securing Central States region support for Beck at the convention. In exchange, Beck made Hoffa a vice-president

Red Dead Redemption 5 out of 5

“A Cowboy’s Life is the Life for Me”
By KC Rossman

For anyone who has ever wanted to be a cowboy, Red Dead Redemption is a dream come true. For those who haven’t, be prepared, because after ten minutes of this game, you’ll be craving the Old West. The protagonist of the game is John Marston, a rugged badass who’s been sent on a mission by the feds to capture a former gang buddy. The gamer is introduced to Marston on a train, where he sits broodingly by a window. It is at this point that you should feel stoked to have rented (or bought, or borrowed) this game. Upon exiting the train, you can figure out the controls — but be careful, as throwing air punches and aiming guns haphazardly in this game are incredibly risky things to do; just about everyone is willing to interact with you (and by interact, I mean go to mattresses).

Alan Wake Review 3.5 out of 5

“Fear n Loathing in Bright Falls”
by Rod Pool

Like the beginning stages of a crazed acid frenzy, there are instances when you know exactly what is going on and then almost immediately the trip takes an unpredictable twist, proving once again the effects and potency of the powerful drug you have just ingested. Playing tricks with your mind and deluding you into thinking that everything is what it seems, but of course, it isn’t.

Thus it begins: the journey into the dark world of Alan Wake. Set in a quiet and sketchy fictional little town called Bright Falls, Alan has to over come the darkness that he has created. The game begins in a dream, or more like a nightmare sequence that works as a tutorial level, where immediately you’re worn out by the monotonous narrative of the main character. Since he’s a writer, I suppose, he has the undying need to narrate every damn thing or event with the emphasis and tone of an H.P Lovecraft audio book. Quickly followed by vicious hill-billy nonsense that “the taken,” or bad guys, will shout at you through the entirely of the game.

Comic Con

July 27th, 2010 by 87 received 2 Comments »

This weekend, the Mecca for nerds, geeks & dweebs occurred with Comic Con. If you have access to the internet and don’t know what Comic Con is, then you don’t deserve to read this. Because I’m a generous guy, I’ll give you a brief explanation on what it is. Comic Con is a 3 day event where Hollywood and nerds collide. The movie studios go there to promote their huge summer blockbuster/comic movies and nerds go there to salivate at all the free goodies. This article will countdown the 5 things that stole the show.

5. Scott Pilgrim vs The World… In the upcoming weeks, you’re going to hear a lot from me about Scott Pilgrim vs The World. I’m not sure if you could tell from my profile picture, but I’m huge fan-boy for the Scott Pilgrim comic books. The Scott Pilgrim panel at Comic Con was everything a nerd could want. Edgar Wright moderated the panel which was unusual as typically a comic or someone unrelated to the project moderates the panels. Wright’s job as moderator added a bit more of fun to usual stale Q & A sessions. There was even a brief cameo by Wright’s long time collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (the duo from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz). At the end of the panel Wright asked the audience did they want to see a clip. The crowd cheered. Wright then asked if they would like to see the whole movie. The crowd went bat shit crazy. I think heads may have exploded. Wright told the audience that whoever was handed a 1-up at the start of the panel was allowed to go see the movie. He then lept into the crowd and led them off to a theatre near the convention. How’s that for building buzz?

Larry And The Gnomes Review 3.5 out of 5

July 21st, 2010 by KC Rossman received 5 Comments »

“Ah, gnomes. How bad can it be?”
By: KC ROSSMAN

That was my initial reaction to Larry And The Gnomes. How wrong I was to assume this would be a boring, innocent game…I expected mundane (and occasionally frustratingly long) tasks, perhaps a cute elfin girl, and tiny, scared voices. The reality is that these gnomes are vicious, and somewhat reminiscent of the Grunts in Halo. They carry weapons and genuinely want you dead.

The plot is somewhat typical; there is evil among us, so you, Larry (also known as the “chosen one”), must find the source of the problem and a) reason with it, or b) take it out. While en route to the source, you must overcome several obstacles (gnomes being an obvious opponent), including egotistical wizards, a handful of different creatures, and your own surroundings (cacti, thorn bushes, etc.). These obstacles can be particularly annoying if you don’t immediately get the hang of the controls, but eventually, you just really want to kill everything. Speaking of killing, I forgot to mention that you can pick up dead gnomes’ weapons, and even their body parts, after you kill them. That’s right, their limbs can be thrown at other gnomes, bushes, crates, etc…to further advance in the game. This is grotesquely hilarious to do while searching for health/stamina boosts, or gems in crates. I say, toss a few heads and get a good chuckle. Gnomes have no feelings anyway, right?
