Allrighty, my birthday and Christmas is coming up, so with a little bit of shameless self promotion, I started a page for things that I really need and would be great gift ideas! Hint hint, nudge nudge, wink wink.
For all you cheap bastards out there, this is really intended for my mom and my bro, so you all can continue cheap… and bastards!
So, check out my list here. It will be changing regular the more I think of things I need, so keep tuning in!
Over the last little bit, I’ve been turning my music collection into a lean, mean, grooving machine!
First off, I removed all doubles from the singles directory, so if they are already within the album they don’t need to be on their own. (Although, I did back up the whole singles directory and called it playlist, because there are some wicked tune in there. Eventually, I’ll just create a playlist with all those tunes.)
Next, I when through each compilation album (soundtracks, etc.) and checked the compilation flag so now they just show up as one album instead of multiples for each artist. It was such a pain in the ass to view the cover flow with multiples of the same album.
Once I did all that, I am now getting all of the album art and embedding them into each mp3. I’m pretty far right now, and only have about 300 more albums to do (From over 6000) woo hoo!
I probably missed a few compilation albums, and some tagging here and there, so those will be updated as I go along.
There are also about 400 tracks that do not have an album or a year associated to them so I’ll be fixing those up as I go along.
Pretty soon, this collection will be rockingly complete!
That’s my news :P
I caught up on a ton of movies this weekend. Thank you long and lazy weekend, which of course is not quite long enough, cause I’d still like to be lazy right now.
With the time I did have to spend, I ended up seeing Super bad, Fantastic Four 2, Bourne Ultimatum and Live Free or Die Hard.
Super bad was super bad ass! So many funny moments and I highly recommend watching this. I won’t spoil anything with this movie, you need to watch it yourself.
Bourne Ultimatum again rocked, continuing it’s trilogy of awesomeness. I hope they don’t continue making these films though and should end it as such. It fits in nicely with the last two installments and of course has wicked fight and chase scenes. No spoilers here… watch it yourself!
Live Free or Die Hard… it didn’t feel like a die hard movie to me. It was pretty good, but I wouldn’t say amazing. I would have called it generic Bruce Willis action film. For some reason, he really didn’t feel like John McClane to me. I love the Die Hard series and they all have a certain feel to them that this one did not deliver. Action scenes were good and had a couple of funny moments. I still recommend watching it, just don’t expect it to fit into the series.
Now, here’s where the *Spoiler Warning* comes from, cause I want to talk about this running, greasy pile of crap! I’ll tell you this, it is pretty true to the comics, but then I’ll ask you this. How many people do you actually know that collect The Fantasic Four?? Exactly!
The stupidest thing about this film was their largest obstacle they had to face: A Ferris Wheel! Yes! That’s it… a freakin’ Ferris Wheel. And ya know what?? They had a hard time doing it too! This was supposed to be the moment in the film where they really decide that they need to work together as a team, and only as a team they can stop the evil dreaded ferris wheel. Ok, so i wasn’t evil and it was just collapsing, but that’s pretty sad!!! It would have been better if it was an Evil Ferris Wheel. 10 extra cool points if it was, but instead, it gets 30 extra shit points!
Just like the first one, they rarely use their powers and they end up talking for most of the film. Once there were fight scenes, they didn’t last long or nothing cool really happened! They didn’t even fight Galactus, it was the Silver Surfer who took him out. Which is completely lame, especially since Galactus was just a giant cloud and not his giant purplely crazy helment awesomeness of the comics. So, the Fantastic Four didn’t really do anything. They were “nice” to the Silver Surfer, so he decides “What the hell??? I’ll just go fuck up my boss cause these guys aren’t so bad.”
I could keep going, but I hope you get the gist of it. Oh, one last thing. Could they have picked a worse actor to play Doom? Seriously, when I envision Doom, I pictured him menacing and terrifying, but when this actor speaks, he sounds like he’s still going through puberty. Thanks for ruining one of my favourite villains. Oh yeah, cause in the first film, they didn’t kill him… oh, and instead of locking him away in some secret vault to make sure he can never escape, they just mail him back to Latveria where he mysteriously comes back to life. I know it’s a comic, but come on!!!!
So, that’s my rant. 3 pretty good films and a shitty one. Not a bad record.
