What the fuck? Did anyone else notice that the woman that Locke was talking to about her house was Sayid's girlfriend?

If Wency was white and 15 years younger, this would be him:



Gotta love that slo-mo at the end. Cracks me up everytime.

OH.
MY.
GOD.
This must be the greatest fight of all time. I wonder how long it took them to choreograph this fight scene!

My spring break was a bust. It was mostly sleeping and eating (preferably at McDonald's or Burger King because it's cheap). I still have numerous assignments to do and tomorrow I'll probably wonder why I didn't do the homework earlier. I've been watching a lot of movies lately and here are some of them:

Everything is Illuminated: The theatrical trailer intrigued me so I rented the DVD. The movie itself is actually pretty good. Elijah Wood (who's been picking great roles lately) gives a good performance as Jonathan but it's the supporting characters that give the film it's originality. I don't know their names and I won't spend time looking for their names on IMDB but the grandfather character was pretty funny. A great movie directed by Liev Schreiber (the guy in Scream and Kate & Leopold).

Inside Man: I didn't have high hopes for this movie. Sure, it was getting excellent reviews (a rarity this time of the year) and the tv spots did get me interested but would the film? The film was superb to say the least. All actors in this film give awesome performances (Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Willem Dafoe, Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer, and the always underrated Chiwetel Ejiofor). I especially loved the payoff at the end.

Groundhog Day: What if you lived the same day, everyday? Well, I would freak. But in the case of Phil Connors (Bill Murray), it would be hilarious. Man, this movie was funny. I think my favorite quote from the film has to be "This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat!"

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai - This movie requires a lot of patience from the viewer. It did drag during some scenes but the kills were pretty cool. It was funny to see an old guy rapping to Flava Flav.

If anyone has heard Tom DeLonge's new music project Angels & Airwaves, don't you think it sounds so much like U2? One radio DJ summed it up best, "I think someone stole The Edge's guitar." The best music you'll hear in a decade, MY ASS!

Foobar2000.org recently came out with the new version of foobar from 0.8.3 to 0.9 and it sucks. They removed a lot of shit from the last version and it doesn't even support APE files anymore. I have to install this fucking third party thing just to play APE files. I think I'll just stick to 0.8.3.

V for Vendetta was fucking awesome and it kicked my ass all the way 'til Sunday.

I have to say. 24 is the best fucking show right now. Lost has lost (no pun intended) its appeal due to shoddy writing and the dead in the water plot (which btw started to move only last week). The two episodes on yesterday's 24 were some of the goddamn fucking best television on the planet. Is there anything Jack Bauer won't do? I couldn't believe that he shot the woman from Poltergeist in the thigh so Robocop would give up information. But the topper has to go to the ending of yesterday's 2nd episode. Holy fucking shit. Now that's what you call television.

In time, this best picture winner will be considered one of the worst winners in history along with 1976's Rocky, 1980's Ordinary People, 1990's Driving Miss Daisy, and most of all 2002's Chicago (which is now even considered by numerous Academy members "the wrong choice").

A few words from my friend Chris Long about the best picture winner:

"For me, there is a big difference between a run-of-the-mill bad movie and an offensive movie. Ebert found it outrageous that anyone could call "Crash" the worst movie of the year when "Deuce Bigalow" was released this year. I can see his point, but to me a movie like "Deuce" can merely be awful. It is, at the very least, an honest film: it makes no claims other than that it is stupid, crass drivel meant for people who like that sort of thing.

"Crash" on the other hand makes claims to be "insightful" or "truthful" but is really a tissue of lies and platitudes. I realize the film's supporters do not see the film in this light, and I am not trying to convince anyone they are wrong. But understand that those who react strongly against the film are doing so for this reason (or at least many of them are). For me, it is this factor that makes "Crash" so worthy of scorn and makes it "worse" than a "Deuce Bigalow" can ever be."

The Oscars did look really really good in HD though.

As a music lover, I have been using foobar for a while. Almost everybody I have recommended it to now uses it as their personal music player on their pc. While mine looks like this:



I would like to make it look like these:





My toaster looks like the shit though.

I just watched Best of the Best. Man, I want 97 minutes of my life back. How the hell did I find this movie really cool when I was young. Man, the mix of corny music, stupid one-liners, and overacting really did it for me. I wanted to kill myself at the end of the movie. On top of that, the video transfer on the DVD was VHS quality and the sound was only stereo. I also found the film to be incredibly racist against Asians (despite written by an Asian American). Wow, the American coach speaks in a whisper while the Korean coach has to fucking scream at his fighter! And what the hell is up with all the WWII allegories?

How the fuck did I find this to be a great movie years ago?!

Movies I've seen the past few weeks:

Sonatine: Entertaining, pretty cool.

Fearless: I think this may be one of the most underrated films of the 1990s. The ending was hauntingly beautiful with the fusion of image and sound. The ending had a perfect soundtrack that almost brought me to tears.

The Last of the Mohicans: I was kinda bored with this film although it did have this scene with a Huron Indian cutting out a heart of a general. Daniel Day-Lewis looked bored in this film. It did have an amazing soundtrack.

Welcome to Dongmakgol: More reason why the Academy is racist against Asians. This movie should have been fucking nominated for best foreign film along with Blood and Bones from Japan and Kung Fu Hustle from Hong Kong.....fuck the Academy. This film is GREAT.

Beast and the Beauty: Funny, funny, funny. Min-a Shin is adorable in this film. I wish I could hug her. This movie will be remade by Hollywood along with My Sassy Girl, Windstruck, and Il Mare.

Rain Man: Very entertaining. Deserving of Best Picture many years ago.

My Left Foot: Daniel Day-Lewis deserved the fucking Best Actor Oscar for this role. I really thought he really had cerebral palsy. His performance is that good.

Overnight: Film about an asshole named Troy Duffy. It's fun to see him crash and burn in Hollywood because of his overconfidence.

Ikiru: I thought this movie was good BUT nowhere as good (it's not even close) to Akira Kurosawa's latter film, Seven Samurai.

According to my brother, Ultraviolet sucked. Thank god I saved my money from that goddamn fucking movie.
