Movie Review : The Mist

There hasn’t been a movie that wasted my time this much in a long while. I could sum up this movie in 4 words : “steaming pile of crap.” It actually made me angry. The worst kind of movie is the one that keeps your attention for hours, only to have an ending that makes those 2 hours pointless. It’s infuriating. Don’t drag me along for 2 hours just to go, “Gotcha! We got you invested in the characters and their responses to the situations in which they were placed for no reason!” This was an entertaining movie for about 98% of it, and then the ending totally nullifies that 98%. I don’t know why I keep giving movies based on Stephen King novels a chance. The only good Stephen King movies are the ones based on his non-horror short stories: Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, The Green Mile, etc…

Parody of ABC Democratic Debates

ABC SHITHEAD: Senator Obama, are you a racist elitist Marxist who hates the flag?
OBAMA: No, and what does that have to do with anything?
CLINTON: I’m not saying that Obama is a racist elitist Marxist or anything, but boy, doesn’t he sound like a racist elitist Marxist?
ABC SHITHEAD: Answer the question, Senator. Which are you? Racist, elitist, or Marxist?
OBAMA: You realize this is retarded, right?
ABC SHITHEAD: But you didn’t answer the question.
OBAMA: It’s a stupid question. You know it’s a stupid question.
CLINTON: I’m not saying we shouldn’t be discussing actual policy issues, but wow, how about all the bad people Obama has met at one point or another?
OBAMA: This is idiotic.
ABC SHITHEAD: Let’s move on. Senator Clinton, I note since we’ve spent so much time discussing Senator Obama’s ties to terrorism and how he hates America that you haven’t had nearly as much chance to talk as he has. Would you like to make up that difference in the policy section later?
CLINTON: Yes, please. I’m all about the issues.

I found this on another blog that is quite entertaining HERE.

Extreme Reunites with new album, and a new tour

Extreme has reunited and recorded a new album. They plan to go on tour in the spring. Why the sudden reunion? Nuno explains why…

“Rock and roll famine. I know it might sound crazy, but there is a massive shortage of rock and roll on this planet. It’s almost extinct. I mean the true spirit of quality rock and roll—you know, musicianship, when you would give up every moment of your day to master your instrument and create your own identity and sound so as to respectfully outdo all your past heroes whilst proudly wearing the badge of their influences.”

“Passion,” says Bettencourt, “is what drives Extreme. To do whatever it takes, with integrity, to bring music to the people, not because of fame…but just cause you simply couldn’t wait to share it with them. We realized,not only are the people starved for rock and roll. So are we. Let’s eat.”

I for one am really excited about the reunion. I consider Extreme to be one of the most underrated rock bands of the 90s, along side Living Colour.
