Flattered

I called the mini seg way skywalker one time and now that's it's official name pretty much.  Wow I was just kidding around... I'm a star wars nut it's in my blood but cool... I was on the way to work and some dude was like he's on a skywalker. .. wow damn that's cool.

the hero system in battlefront sucks and here's why

Got people saying it's good because EVErYBODY gets a shot at being hero, fair enough. But you'd have that shot anyway if it was based on skill level. Just get good or wait until the system randomly chooses people at the lower level like in the original game.

Here's the real reason it's garbage. I did indeed pick up the tolken. I crouched to pray to jesus to give me hero powers, some douche shot me just when it was about to go through.

FUCKED. Now the tolken is gone and has to be found again.

If that's the way it works, it's not going to last as a good idea.

It's just lame and I hope EA has the good conscience to change it back to BF2's method. Cuz it's just worse, there's no getting around it..

Now the fact that the heros aren't just losing health on the fly is great though. I like just hanging out as luke without feeling like I got to do anything... that's the good shit.

ecto cooler is back

That's how you know there is a God. Hi-C has filed a patent renewal for Ecto cooler in september, ladies and gentlemen.

It's a done deal.

We WILL be seeing ecto cooler back on shelves most likely around the release of the new gb movie, which I'll personally love to death no matter what it is because it brought back ecto cooler.

I swear I will have an ecto cooler party mother fucker. I mean wow, I hope they get the formula right, they have to know its exact ingredients.

I mean yeah it's basically tangerine juice mixed with orange juice, that's basically it, but no, something DIFFERENT was in ecto cooler, I could taste it. something ELSE...

GOOD GOD, is this a good time to be alive, ecto cooler coming back, new star wars movies, LIFE IS GOOD.

More or less Final Thoughts on Star Wars Battlefront

I think the biggest mistake is making the hero a tolken on the map, huge mistake. That really eliminates the desire to be the best you can be in the game since there's no reward for it. And that's a shame. I used to love being granted the hero for having kicked ass in the battlefield. Now it's just a random retard who happens to stumble onto it.

I have indeed gotten used to the flying controls so I'm not too offended by them anymore. But whoever told EA making the ships and stuff an icon on the map to get was an idiot. How badass would it be to land these ships and take a post then jump back in and fly off like the old days, how sweet. And I LOVED that I could jump into a fighter jet as Luke and fly around then jump out and whoop ass. Now that shit's gone and it's painful to live with and pilot look is sorely missed. Why they leave him as RotJ luke makes shit sense. There's plenty of room for both versions and pilot luke can have his own methods and weapons etc... would break things up. Maybe in the DLC.

All I'm going to say is I'll give this game a chance to improve. It IS massively fun and I've only gotten to the tip of the iceberg. I will buy the season pass, I hear they're going to be adding shit tons of stuff, Still tons of shit to unlock, but nothing will change the horrible hero system they've gone with. It's ASS on toast and just a really bad decision. PLEASE release a mode that lets the best player get the hero, for the love of GOD.

I mean the game is glorious fun but yeah there are some strange balancing issues. I mean I'm just a rookie prettymuch and there are people in the session with jump packs and homing launchers and all kinds of shit I can't get yet, so it's NOT easy to play on the lower level at all.

The maps are indeed as people have been saying very ho hum. Nothing terrible but not the more fun maps like BF2 or even the epic huge maps from BF1. I miss the yavin map and yeah we have close quarters weapons but not one of the maps is designed for close quarters combat so why do we have those?

Don't bother using any of the shotguns, they're not going to matter...

I would certainly hope new weapons are down the pipe and possibly customizable laser colors. No doubt there's a hex value that if changed will give you any laser beam color you want, would be nice to edit it to your preferences. Read lasers everywhere is so shitty and the PT thankfully introduced the concept of laser blasters having different colors. Gotta give it to the PT weapons they were the shit.

I do indeed want some of those back for this game. Especially the elctro gun. And I hope we get to have a real jet pack at some point down the line like Boba's. The jump pack won't cut it for long... But yeah So much potential.

I know what DICE is doing. They're holing back basically. This is the appetizer. Battlefront 2 will be the big masterpiece, not this game, I get it. But THIS could have been the masterpiece. Making us wait for Battlefront 2 to get it perfect really is very bad taste on their behalf.

edit:

also where's the weather in the game? No snow, no rain, no fog, no myst? Why can Battlefront 2 do these things yet this game fails at it? Graphics too much for it I guess.

Where should they go with Indiana Jones 5?

Well I've been reading that Ford wants to do Indy 5, probably because he's had a great experience getting back into his Han Solo shoes, so of course he's a lot more confident putting the fedora on one last time...

I kinda do and I kinda don't want Indy 5. Crystal Skull is NOT an indiana jones film. It simply is not.

Tin Tin is an indiana jones film.

I can't begin to fathom how the hell the best people in hollywood, period, got together and farted out that pile of nonsense that was Crystal Skull. It makes no sense to me at all. Such a failure of a film, it's as if indeed they decided upon makiinnng Back to the Futuure 4 and it was just a garbled mess of a film with no purpose and ultimately a giant shit on an otherwise well made set of films.

Yeah Shia admited it, Spielberg admited it, only person saying the movie's still decent is Lucas himself. NO it's not. You all got together decided to coast through an indiana jones movie and you droppedd the ball in front of everyone. Time to own up to it. Time to get it right with Indy 5, the final chapter, or whatever it's called.

I demand it honestly. I refuse to let Indy end with Crystal Skull. Ya serious? We go from Indy riding off into the sunset to him fucking around with shia labeuf, oh fuck that shit...

It's NOW or NEVER. Spielberg at the helm putting everything he has into crafting an Indiana Jones Masterpiece for the fans. Or fuck it, let JJ Abrams make it, I'm sure he's got a hard on for Indy just as much as the rest of us... I'd actually be down for a JJ Abrams Indiana Jones, why the fuck not...

Let's do it, baby, let's finish INDY off PROPERLY this time...

New Star Wars on the Horizon and we got to worry about World War 3

That's hyperbole, yes. It's just a retarded little terrorist group that's trying to stir shit up and that's all it is, but good Lordy Lord are those fuckers picking a hell of a time to make our lives a mess.

Wow, didn't see this coming, just didn't. I mean all the excitement and fun is being sucked straight out of the premiere of star wars episode 7. None of this shit happened before the phantom menace. In fact Phantom Menace marked the LAST time we as a collective group of nerds on line could blissfully go about our lives without fear. Only 2 years later, the goddamn world was rocked by the twin towers falling... then everything became about that stuff, star wars was still going strong but of course Lucas even put the image of the towers burning in the movie for fucking sake... there was no denying the war with bin laden was more prominent in the media.

I'm royally pissed by this. I dare them to start shit with NYC. I will join in the military tomorrow and end a couple hundred of them myself before they take me down.

fuck it. I'm pissed. You want to fuck up my peaceful viewing of star wars? You gonna get it, motherfucker...



Comment on the whole driverless car tech

I'm going to assume it's very super smart people simply wanting bragging rights for having come up with the tech rather than hoping to one day put it into action.

I can't see this technology actually becoming a widely used thing at all. A billion different unpredictable variables are taking place as a person drives. Weather, animals, road conditions, whatever the case is.

Is Google serious with this stuff? Are we really going to see this become reality? When I was being taught to drive, they drilled it into our heads that there's no such thing as NON-Defensive driving. You have to be expecting the worst every single time, even if you're the bomb at driving. You have to always be prepared for some bullshit to happen.

When I was a kid, I did indeed ride my bike out into the street without thinking straight and if that guy didn't hit the brakes like crazy, I'd be dead.

So I'm definitely hoping Google's just playing around with this tech cuz no way do I think anybody is going to be safe if people put cars on autopilot out there.

Battlefront review in progress

The game is MASSIVE and just amazing. But despite all it's awesomeness it feels a lot to me like GTA 4 did, just as much of a step back as much as it was a step forward for GTA. I remember playing GTA 4 and just wondering why they took out all the good shit from GTA SA. And here I am again wondering why EA took out all the good shit from battlefront 2. Mind you, the new game modes are superior and much more interesting than the simplistic straight forward command post stuff from BF2 and capture the flag. Like I said, battlefront has NEVER been new or complex or done anything any other shooter hasn't done so don't expect that, but the new game modes are really different and totally new to battlefront which is a good step in the right direction...

Haven't found any traps you can set so far, so I'm kinda dissapointed, loved the lava trap from BF 2. That should be the name of the game, set up traps and wait to start them, not so in this game. Run gun and die a whole lot.

What sucks HARD the ships and flying. You got to be kidding me. Battlefield has it right even though the flying is tough to figure out. But yeah, the vehicles should be landable for fuck's sake.  If a game on PS2 could do it, this game has no excuse. Why did they make the ships something that can't be landed why?

You cannot flip and double jump as a jedi. Oh for fuck's sake. I mean why?

No lightsaber health bar at all. Wow, that's just stupid as hell. I guess they didn't want it to distract you while playing, but it would have been the cherry on top to get that back.

Playing as a jedi is still as clunky and awkward as it was in bf2 but now you can't even super double jump or float around. You run briskly and jump pretty high but can't flip like they do in the movies all day. Makes no sense.

I mean bf2 was on point. You jumped then flipped like a maniac in that game, this game wtf.

I'll get deeper into this shit and like IGN fully finalize my thoughts but be warned, some things, hell A LOT of things BF2 did better than this game so far as I'm playing it. And the ship controls are garbage. True utter garbage. I don't know how any review will find favor with them and I hope they update the game at some point to let us customize it totally to our preferences instead of the preset options which are garbage.

Not sure about the match balancing either. Some dude blasted me away with some super high level gun that I have no way of buying yet, so apparently I'm playing against people with mega weapons already even though I'm a noob just getting started.

oh and Vader's voice, wait till you have to play a match listening that shit... I mean I'll finalize my thoughts on this when I play every thing etc, but as of right now I'm leaning towards recommending you wait for the price to drop if you don't need it right away.

Shit just got real, Battlefront time

Been waiting a long time for this, too long. I mean shit, played battlefront since 2004 when I rented the original from blockbuster, yep, rented it, I was a kid, couldn't afford shit back in those days, I rented everything.


Now I'm finally buying all of my games and going to forge forward and build the ultimate gaming PC since I'm a virgin and that's what we fucking do...

I can't wait to play this shit. I don't understand what people wanted, ALL of the battlefront games are pretty shitty in my mind. I never truly enjoyed them as games, but as star wars games they're masterpieces. The easter eggs, the fun big star wars battles. I have to concede that battlefront will NEVER be a good game as far as shooters go, but the fun is setting traps for niggas, jet packing at the last minute before getting killed or some shit whatever YOU make of the experience, you won't be able to do this shit in COD or Battlefield. How a jet pack would change battlefield for the pure WIN in the end, but nah, never going to see that come down the pipe. Anyway bout to kick some ass and of course shoot first.

Woke me up...

I'm 29 now, life for me is a constant whirlwind of confusion I should say. Had no clue at all during my teen years and college days that one day some jack in the box would condemn my future offspring as if I have a damn clue about that stuff. All I'm hoping for is to experience sex for the first time in my life, this dude's trying to tell me my kids will be this or that and I'm better off not getting laid ever anyway. What a way to teach a young man about sex, just basically ruin it for him?

Good luck convincing me of that. You got to get laid before you leave this world, it's just written in stone...

So I'm on facebook and it's utterly depressing to post there these days. I enjoyed it at the start but now the constant state of the world has permeated it as celebs and just people from all over the world question why facebook is so shocked by the events in paris while the same thing and worse happens daily in poorer nations, yet no one ever hears about it. I have to agree with that sentiment. It's not that the events of paris weren't horrible and should be shown the highest level of just pure respect and sensitivity to all involved who watched what took place, but yeah no one cared when the kenya college shootings too place and more people died. Or the fact that most likely hundreds of innocent children were blown away in the retaliation against the paris massacre, or worse off the people getting killed in the crossfire of wars in all those poor nations.

Is it right to care about the disasters in higher class countries than in poorer lower class countries?

I mean just, didn't THOUSANDS die in Nepal from that earthquake that took place a year ago? I just saw all of it on the news and didn't really let it sink in but yeah, thousands went down in that disaster, THOUSANDS. The thing I was thinking when I heard about the paris thing was, oh well, yeah at least it was only 129 people at the end of the day. I seriously thought that because I remembered thousands died in Nepal's earthquake.

I felt horrible when I heard that, I mean I'm just this guy going to work every day and then in a flash thousands of people are gone... So I'm not like totally blown away by the paris massacre. It was horrible, I'm never going to say it' wasn't, but Nepal was something beyond that, I'd say.

I mean just saying I'm not ignorant to the world the way it is. My postings have been all about paris, but yeah, paris is light compared to other countries. It's just that, it's a bit of the real world spilling into an advanced, high class society, that's what's so shocking about it. Everybody knows there's war in africa and burma and such every day and bad crazy things going on there. You DO NOT go to paris and expect to deal with those people and their bullshit, you just don't.

James Marsters was like FUCKING hanging out in paris for a week on facebook talking about his love for the place. He's a LUCKY ass son of a bitch, that guy. I mean right after the massacre he post about how he was in paris hanging out for a while but left before the shootings... I mean wow, go check out his facebook and see it for yourself. Lucky guy.

I sit in a corner my head hanging...

I've lived  along life, too long. I honestly should be dead. I don't know why I goddamn keep waking up every day to plod through life anymore.

Star Wars really. As pathetic as that sounds, I love star wars more than anything in the world.

It's what kept me going through high school. I mean I never cared for high school, but the prospect of finally seeing the last star wars movie meant everything to me so I suffered through that nonsense and made it to my goal of seeing episode 3. I don't care about the movie's quality, which is well I wouldn't even call it a movie, it's more of an inevitability/party on film.

Now I'm still looking at life as a journey to see more star wars films and I hope to actually claw and scratch my way into starring as Lando for Kasdan and Phil and Chris.

I'm not going to kill him, but if they do cast someone else, you'll probably hear word of him getting a beat down from someone.

It's just beyond sad and depressing. Sure I'll be sitting content and with my popcorn and my soda as usual watching a star wars movie which has been my life for the past 16 years... But hundreds of people will not and never stood a chance of seeing it.

I understand Daniel's case and indeed he DID NOT make it to the premiere. He saw it coming and therefore desereved for all his life long devotion to the franchise to see the film before he passed away.

I only sit here wishing that those in paris could have seen it before getting shot to death by ISIS terrorists.

That's just so wrong. I mean, I dare submit, put down the guns until AFTER we've all seen the movie. PLEASE. I know it's a weird request, but I don't understand the need to miss star wars in any capacity.

By all means pop my head off while I'm on my way to work, but only AFTER I've seen Force Awakens. I know, stupid, if these guys want to kill you they'll kill you, not going to take a break and think about it, of course... but just an idea...

Paris

Just stop... we have so much good things coming. Why is this happening now.

Simon Pegg HATES the prequels

I mean I've been online discussing star wars since high school just to set the stage. I've seen EVERY single debate made about the prequels as the movies came out one by one.

Listen, hear me out. They're Lucas' babies, and they have A LOT of cool good elements, but that's all they are. Golden nuggets floating in a sea of shit and that's not what star wars deserved.

Like I said on facebook and a few people agreed with me, the prequels basically are just all the crappy parts of return of the jedi for 3 movies.

Will a little kid care about that? No. Childhood is a great time where EVERYTHING is awesome. I know, I watched shit and turned it into gold through my childhood prism.

The prequels are such a missed opportunity and that's what makes them hard to sit and watch. The biggest issue besides the really terribly written scripts is the giant 10 year gap between TPM and AotC. Because of that, we have to completely re-introduce Anakin's character a second time because we have no idea who he is by the second film.. It's a waste of time for all of us. Keeping him as one guy, one personality from the first film to the second and third would have helped us in feeling sorry for his downfall.

Instead, we get used to and get to know him as a little kid, then it's a giant new different guy we're getting in the second movie to have to accept and forget the original one making his character obsolete... Of all the errors in judgement lucas made in crafting the prequels, this was the worst one. You can't do that. You can't make a giant farting huge leap of time jump like that in between films... It's like if yeah, we skip 20 years in between ANH and Empire and we see what the characters are up to as much older different personalities. For the love of jimmy Cricket.

Meanwhile everybody else we are very much still on the same page with and continue with their story without issue or any jerky nonsense.

I've tried night and day to make the prequels work as star wars films and not some weird star wars What IF stories that they truly are and Yep, they're not working as star wars films and DO NOT belong in the same league as the original 3 classic trilogy. I find it seriously offensive when I see them being forced into the same level as if the movies all sync up and fit, it's like watching a big fat ugly chick struggle to fit in with a bunch of sexy super models, no, just no...

But this is the movies and everything is subjective, maybe the prequels don't work for me, maybe they work for YOU.

I don't know... The thing about it to me is that they really are such fx-shows more than movies and that's what really sucks about them... I mean if Yoda has to have a lightsaber, wouldn't it make more sense that it comes out of his cane that he always carries? I mean it's that level of just not giving a shit that makes the prequels seem like the big slap dash 1st draft material that they are.

But what about my interest in seeing Daniel Logan return as Boba Fett. Like I said, there's some good shit in the prequels. I mean, yeah, it's hard to find the good shit but it's there somewhere. I do like the phantom Menace and how retro star wars it feels and the jedi fight on naboo was and still is the best fight of the prequels and probably whole saga until force awakens sees Luke go toe to toe with Kylo in what most likely will be the best saber duel of the series.

The Emperor's rise to power and everything Ian Mcdirmand did is what saves the PT. If they could just be about his character and his plot to take over the galaxy, they'd be wonderful star wars movies. Instead it's about a bunch of other nonsense that doesn't matter to us as we never truly get to know these characters or care about them much at all.

Star Wars got too big for itself I have to admit. When Lucas makes a star wars movie scared shitless if people will like it and care and go see it, that's when he tries harder. Obviously with nothing but a blank check and full knowledge that he could get away with making garbage and people will see it, we got star wars films that are excessive and bloated and ridiculous over the top CGI spectacles an very little else.

We'll fix that shit do.

New Force Awakens TV Spot



Damn, that was intense. I mean that was STAR WARS right there. I can only imagine what 2 hours of that is going to be like. Already Force Awekens has crushed the prequels to pieces, already...

We will see ecto cooler return...

I'm contemplating buying an original box of ecto cooler on ebay, which hopefully isn't fake. I mean if I had one of the last boxes ever of the stuff, I'd take the best care of it you can imagine.

Thing is, new GB movie around the corner. Most likely Hi-C will bring back Ecto Cooler to honor the new film and appease long time fans.

If that's the case, I'll just buy the new stuff and save that, instead of spending 400 dollars on an old moldy box. And I do want to drink it again. I miss it. I just remember it being this constant presence, and indeed I got sick of ecto cooler i drank so much of it. I was like, NOoooo not ecto cooler for lunch again...

Wow, hindsight baby...

If they do bring it back, they will easily see their profits soar through the roof. I'm not demanding this, just suggesting politely that if they do bring back ecto, it's going to be ridiculous the money they make off of it. Little did anyone think during the 90s that ecto would soon dissappear but honestly the drink was a tie in with the cartoon, the fact that it lasted decades after the cartoon ended its run is truly amazing. We all simply thought it would be around forever, not one moment as a kid seeing a billion boxes of ecto cooler on the shelf did I think for even a second that that stuff would be an endangered species. NONE OF US DID. That's why we didn't hold on to it. It was like water...

I don't like and I don't think this new GB movie will be any good. However it is the GB movie ressurgance. ALL of the living GBS are actually knocking around in it. To NOT bring back ecto cooler and capitalize on this shit would be retarded beyond retarded for Hi-C. Even Miley Cyrus is singing the ghost busters song on facebook for christ sake.

Yanno what I want, I want them to go for broke. Make Ecto Cooler Whine, beer, energy drinks, classic ecto cooler, ecto cooler tang, whatever they can think of. Then the mission will be accomplished. Then a jedi will you be...

Fleetwood got his wish

Have to talk about this guy. I've been a star wars nut since I was 11. I just know the feeling, here we are waiting for a new movie, a new frontier for star wars, and it's just not a joke, we're standing here today on the cusp of a new era in star wars, a whole new world ready to explode. I'm hoping to get a role in the new world of star wars as I believe it's my destiny. But more importantly, it's truly a showcase of the the infinite power of star wars to transcend everything else and unite us fans as one. It's a good thing Disney did, they should not regret it and I hope Fleetwood does NOT die, and does see the film in theaters. That should be what people should be hoping for. I mean people are saying, what if he blabs about the movie, what if he makes it and lives, GOOD, the man is NOT wanting to die, nobody does I'm sure... But he's not given a choice, as are MANY people who suffer with horrible ailments. The thing I'm discovering about life, and it's truly amazing that VERY smart men and women are working to fix and aid these people, is that millions are suffering out there. I never really was aware of it, but it's true and I wish I could help them. I'm just me, this nerdy dude, nothing more nothing less. I'm probably going to wack off after this since that's what I do all day, but yeah, just saying pray for this guy, he's one of us. He's a star wars fan. Even IF I saw the movie today, I wouldn't say one word to anyone about it, and he won't either. It's star wars, either you see it a virgin or nothing. 

Good Luck, to everyone suffering out there. I mean, sucks that like stuff like cancer and really strange diseases exist. Sucks that some lady crashed a car into a crowd of people and killed 4, sucks that two cops blasted away a 6 year old. I mean this world is bananas... I'm lucky to be alive after some guy tried to kill me and to this day many want me dead, why? It's the internet, it's a circus, accept that...

I don't know. Whatever. Just happy some good is going on in this world...

random thoughts

I want to play lando, but I'm unfortunately getting old and will possibly be beyond the age range of the casting call... but with good dieting and make-up i should look fine...

We'll see. Let's do this shit now, I'm your guy, what's the delay for?

I wanted to get the pepsi perfect bttf 2 exclusive pepsi put out for sale on nov 3 but I missread the posting and thought it was the 9th that it was going on sale. Needless to say the shit is sold out and now those guys who bought a couple for maybe 60 bucks are selling them each for near 300 dollars.

Ludicrous but genius in the end... But still only at least 13,000 of these bottles were produced. If you dare to own one, you will see that thing increase in value in decades to come. So it is a wise investment. The people who bought it for 20 bucks are geniuses, and now own a bottle of fucking shitty pepsi that will be worth a fuck ton of money down the line, so even if it cost me 200 odd dollars, I'm getting one because that shit will blow up.

That and the usa today paper. It is now sold out on usatoday.com, and I got one of them for like 7 bucks off the website. If I was smart I'd have bought ten of them and sold 9 for maybe 20 bucks each. Pure profit. That's amazing what you can do with rare shit if you find it cheap.

A guy at work was telling me how he's going to buy some kanye west sneakers off of ebay from some idiot who doesn't know the true value of the sneakers and sell them back to someone else for the real price. Genius.

So I'm looking to get a bulk of those usa today bttf papers and preserve them for years and then sell them to other collectors who are looking for it.

Right now those things are easily available like toilet paper, but much like ecto cooler, there will be a very big demand for it and you can name your own price to sell it, I'm sure.

By all means steal my ideas. I see kids on the train, and they don't know shit about life yet, so I'll give you a little clue, collect collect collect. It will be valuable down the line. Don't throw anything away like I did...

I don't think Robin Williams is dead.

I just don't. It's like, too retarded to believe in my mind. Even if he was suffering some disease, he's got a daughter, no father would go down that road no matter how bad he was suffering, he had a daughter... and he's robin williams, julliard grad, tons of money, well beloved actor. He's alive, he's just had it with being famous. Wants to disappear no doubt. Same with Michael Jackson. I can't believe I went through my life just casually going along watching michael jackson make new music, never even beginning to think he'd ever die any time soon. I still don't think he's dead. It's just that he's tired of playing with the media bullshit and he's out, he's alive and probably still making music but we won't hear his voice on the tracks ever again, but it's the best way to fully leave behind celebrity life, just fake your death.


This stuff is real. If some high profile family is targeted by terrorist or some mafia group, the cops will actually fake their deaths to get whoever is after them off their ass.

I think Robin faked it. But why? Not feeling like he could handle fame anymore? Maybe he pissed off the wrong people? Owed them money? Wanted to end things once and for all?

I mean, damn, I'm always down for new robin williams movies. Such a huge loss, so stupid, now he's gone and the world is simply poorer for it...

Daniel Fleetwood

Star wars news just came in. A man dying of cancer is hoping to get an early screening of episode 7 before he fucking dies.

Disney if you have any heart left in your ass, DO IT. Give him the first viewing of the movie.

We are ALL going to die. This guy's going out quite faster than any of us, and there's nothing he can do about it. If he could, he'd survive to the premiere of the film, but he can't. And, that's just not right.

DO IT.

review of ash vs evil dead

LOVED IT.

Now that's how you make a show.

I grew up on everything raimi on tv, it's in my DNA. I watched Xena, hercules, Jack of all trades.

Whether it was intended or not, I have some connection to bruce Campbell having stumbled upon Brisco County on Irc Chat years ago in high school. Didn't know what the show was, but I did recall I saw eps of it as a kid one night and thought it was like a back to the future tv show, which it most certainly was not.

What it was, brilliant. It was a western version of sherlock holmes meets indiana jones to some degree with some scifi elements thrown in and it was awesome. Just a great underrated gem from the 90s that you will NEVER ever see made again, EVER.

But anyway Bruce Campbell is back playing Ash to shut fans up about it pretty much. What do I think about that, Awesome!

I never understood the evil dead phenomenon as a kid. I saw the movies all over those goth stores and in those movie stores all throughout my childhood evil dead this evil dead that. Apparently it was quite popular, I didn't give a fuck about it...

If you haven't sat and watched all three of those movies, you are insane. Those are how you make movies especially Army of Darkness, it's like a master class in how to make a goddamn classic film.

Oh the stuff I've missed through sheer ignorance I gotta say, what a fucking idiot. But yeah I finally decided to run through the entire series last month and was just floored by the experience. Best movie series I've seen in a long ass time. I mean let's get into it...

I did indeed watch Evil Dead 1 while at college, I did. I got that movie to give it a whirl, whatever. Shit was intense, not bad, really fun.

Now as everyone's made it clear things take a turn for more comedic and action oriented style with the next two films. I don't have a problem with that. I'm all about movies being fun and entertaining and full of humor, joyless cinema not my cup of tea so I'm glad they decided to take the turn they did.

It's much better. My personal favorite is Army of Darkness. It reminds me of like all those weird off beat movies I watched as a kid. Mortal Kombat etc. Just such a 90s era film, reeks of it. But I grew up in that time, so I'm like totally on board with that style of film making. 90s films were mostly shot with real sets, out doors, lots of actual scenes dedicated to building characters cuz fx weren't top notch at the time... so that's what I'm used to seeing, those kinds of films.

I don't know how the series makes sense of the ending of Army of Darkness that's the thing. At the end of the movie, Ash fucked up the reading of the time travel spell and brought the dead ites with him him to the future so at the end he's having to continue his fight with them. But the series says that he's been able to avoid them for 30 years just relax until he read from the book by accident one night.

I guess he was able to escape them for a long time at the end, then, what do I know...

Good stuff, can't wait for the next episode....

The business sense behind my Lando role

I don't hope for anything hollywood-wise, I'll tell you straight up. I'm just a guy who grew up watching and falling in love with the star wars movie series, that's all I am. I'm 29, me and Anthony Ingruber 26 and Daniel Logan 28, I got to talk to these guys see if I can get a little group together and we can make a pitch to Lucasfilm about us coming together and knocking out the Han Solo film.

By God, would my life make all the sense in the world if I ever got to sit and fly the Falcon, I drew that ship all day in 3rd grade, I kid you not...

Badly drew it, since it's a tough damn ship to draw, but I tried, I tell ya...

But was just thinking about it on the long walk back from work, Bus doesn't come early on sunday, had to walk back to the metro north, longest walk of my lfie. Well I was thinking in my stupid head, who the hell else on this planet looks like Lando besides me. WHO? I mean, Lando IS basically what would happen if a black person and white person got busy and had a mixed kid. It's very very rare to find people like that, that's what makes his look so unique and his character infintely more interesting, because he's so ambiguous and handsome and other worldly.

I've pitched myself to Phil and Chris on Twitter, neither of them responded or gave a shit. I have tons of views on this blog of my constant lando positngs, one of them with over a hundred views. I think somebody up there has a clue that I'm knocking around in this world.

Now, will they be able to find other guys out there that look like billy dee in his early 20s? Of COURSE!!! But I'm a perfect match, every last inch of me. I'm like if the dude was cloned and came out of a machine fresh.

We'll see. I'm more eager to see this Han Solo stand alone than I am to see force awakens. I mean yeah I'm ridiclously excited for that film, but truly am curious as to who the hell they're going to find for Lando.

At the end of the day they have two options for Han, call up JTT see if he still wants to do movies for disney... done. Back up plan, call Anthony Ingruber, the dude is legitimately serious about wanting to play Han Solo, and I've told him to fight for it, don't back down. Because I don't think anyone gave a shit about Adeline personally. Playing Han will put his name on the map as a major star, not that movie.

As for Daniel Logan, the impressive thing to me is that he still is very actively cherishing his time playing Boba in Attack of the Clones. He's not really done anything else either, just relishes that character and experience. That's great and if there's any justice in this world he'll be allowed to play him in the Han Solo movie. He IS Boba Fett, both literally, and as a fanboy of Boba, he's the biggest one of us all. And he's actualy a great guy. Wish I knew him back when we were both kids... strangely I was just a year older than him when I went to go buy Attack of the Clones on DVD, so like we were having a fun time with that movie together, I was like WTF when he didn't show up in Revenge... made no sense to me. A lot about the prequels doesn't make sense sadly...

About the business sense. I'm looking out for lucasfilm's interests here when I say that. They are all about making the big bucks and I'm all aboard with that. I mean, let's work together on this, break bread. I'm willing to give you my mind, body, and soul, to get to the end of the line here and make a great movie, and a great big pile of money on top of it. I want kids to have a great time with this movie on the same level as the OT, that's my intention. I mean, like how when I was a kid, I went and watched ID, Lost in Space, or all this sweet 90s sci fi movies. The thing about them was how cool they were and had cool characters and cool action scenes. That's what the movie should be about, just jokes, and badass over the top star wars action, nothing more. No serious drama, this isn't going to be like the other movies. It's going to be jokes, and jokes, and gags, and fun.

At the end of the day, despite all the nonsense drama I've gotten into thanks to the microscope the internet puts on all our lives, I submit, that if they want to get paid, get paid big, let's work together and make that money. I'm all for it, plus I'm sick as hell of being poor... need to get paid, brother...
