Deep thoughts by Dan.....

On Mel Gibson and the Jewish people:
Mel Gibson said anti-Semitic remarks (WHEN HE WAS FUCKING DRUNK!) and apologized for it. So what do the Jewish people do? They say that his apology is "not good enough." What the fuck do they want? Do they want him to say that he never said those remarks only for it to smack him back on his ass? I have nothing against the Jewish people but man, when a person apologizes for his actions you must forgive him for it. His apology was sincere and genuine and all these people do is fucking piss on it. Shit, when people are drunk they say things they don't even mean! I think that's what happens when these people only think about money, money, money! They even said "now, he's showing his true colors." Um, yes, people show their true colors when drunk!!!!!! Yippeeee!!!!!! I'm going to drink now and say I hate all people!!!!!!

Why Lady in the Water was a flop:
Because of that fucking commercial where the voiceover by a girl had to whisper or the world might explode. God I hate that commercial.

Why Superman Returns was a flop:
Because no one wants to see a pussified Superman who stalks an ex-girlfriend and doesn't even fight once in the entire movie.

Why I hate that new Miami Vice movie:
I hate Colin Farrell. I got no problem with Jamie Foxx but there's something about Farrell that I hate. "This is breakfast, lunch, and fucking dinner, INDEED!"

Why Entourage is the motherfucking shit:
Jeremy Piven. "Miller/Gold! We sound like a motherfucking beer!"

TV shows that are currently the most awesome shit in my mind (aside from Entourage):
Mission Hill and The Oblongs. I don't need to fucking tell you about these shows. Fucking wikipedia that shit.

Stuff and other shit

My brother Wency had a post about the Fountain. Man, that movie looks like it's going to be fucking awesome. Darren Aronofsky has not failed me yet. He has only made two films and they both have been fucking great. Now for a rant.

I am beginning to hate Netflix and Blockbuster for their petty ways on how the DVDs get to my house. I paid for 4 DVDs at a time but instead they give me 3 at a time. Blockbuster on the other hand gave me the wrong disc of the Memento: Limited Edition. I was so fucking pissed. I don't know why but you had to take all these fucking tests just to get to the fucking main menu. In the end, it turned out to be the frickin' second disc of the set.

On the other hand, I am still pondering whether to go to the Philippines. I do have the money but I am still pondering whether to go. Should I go or not? Hmmmm......the decision. Maybe I shouldn't go. Maybe I should.......hmmmmmm.

As I said before, Entourage is now one of my favorite TV series. Man, I went through 2 1/2 seasons in two fricking days. I had a disdain for the show until I decided to rent it. But during the first episode, I already knew I was gonna love it due to the catalog and if you know how Hollywood works it is even funnier. And man, this must be the only show on TV that has so many hotties in EVERY episode. I now have a huge crush on Emmanuelle Chriqui. Man, she is so beautiful to the point of s-s-s-smoking. I'd tap that shit.

I have another show I'm now addicted to: Entourage. Shit, that show's good.

My friend gave me a CD to listen to the other day. It was Elliott Smith's "Either/Or" and I was struck at how good it was. Smith would always in a child-like whisper rather than warble or scream like today's assholes (Dashboard Confessional's Chris Carrabba or Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump (isn't that right Jorge?)). It was like he was trying to say something with his music but instead of screaming it he would sing it with a delicate desperation that is only equaled today by Sufjan Stevens.

Sadly, Smith killed himself in 2003. Like many great musicians, he was a drug addict but he eventually succumbed to the thing he said "would be a great failure."

Here's a music video of Smith playing "Angeles":



Gotta love that beginning guitar picking!

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Man oh man oh man.

After the disappointment that is "Superman Returns" I hoped that the sequel to POTC: COTBP at least was entertaining. But Jesus Christ, I never expected it to be THIS GODDAMN FUN! This is what summer movies are all about: turning off your brain while you enjoy the rush. Dead Man's Chest was 150 minutes of pure bliss. That's right, 150 minutes of pure action, comedy, and jaw-dropping (literally) visual effects. And the ending.....OH FUCK ME AND CALL ME SUSIE!!!! This film has one of the best cliffhangers/twist endings EVER! When the ending came up I could hear a collective gasp from the audience. I can't wait for the 3rd one (being released next summer)

Oh yeah, the Transformers trailer before the movie KICKED MY ASS!

Movie reviews:

The Fast and the Furious - Tokyo Drift: This movie was actually pretty entertaining. The performances were pretty bad with the exception of Sung Kang who plays the bad ass Han. The main actress had such a strong Australian accent that it was bothering the hell outta me. If she lived in Japan all her life, why the fuck does she have an Australian accent? The lead wasn't charismatic and his Texan accent also bothered me. But all in all, an entertaining movie. I think the ending is great though.

Click: Two movies in one, people! The beginning of the movie started like every other Sandler film, hilarious! When the remote started going crazy the film got jolted into drama territory and it just felt.....awkward. Still, it's a really funny movie! Kate Beckinsale has a rockin' body man. My cousin couldn't stop gawking at her body throughout the entire goddamn movie.

Superman Returns: Oh, why did I hate SR?
Wooden acting? Check.
Stupid action sequences? Check.
Stupid characters? Check. The kid was cute but man did I hate him towards the end. If he was just a kid it would've been great but man, did they fuck up!
Stupid villain? Check. Kevin Spacey is not to blame for this fuck up. It's Superman's fault. Sure, they have Kumar as a villain but they kill him after he runs from a fucking boulder. BAH!
What the fuck went wrong? They tried making Superman Returns into Batman Begins but there's a problem......Superman has no flaws. He is completely the most invincible superhero known in the comic world. Save for his weakness in the knees for kryptonite, he is flawless. That is what was great with Batman Begins and Spider-Man 2.....the human element. Bryan Singer was trying to inject some humanity into Superman but failed miserably.

Dare I say it? I think Superman Returns is so far the worst film this year!
