Well, what about this dude that stole a plane while he was drunk and flew it around for a bit? Not to mention he didn't even know how to fly...well, that would explain the crash at least.

In the news

The Mars Rover has discovered evidence of water on Mars, which is good because if I'm going there at some point I better get to go fishing. Also in the news millions of America's overweight artery cloggers will mutiny when they find out that their beloved McDonalds has betrayed them by beginning to eradicate the option of super-sizing, my dear God no. I guess they'll just have to order two of everything. New nickels will be finding their way into pockets everywhere, I know none of you care but I think they're fun, all shiny and shit. And lastly, you think you have pest problems? All I want to know is is Mr. Meyer available for parties?

Destination : Somewhere

Ah yes, Spring break is drawing near, what will you do? DeRusto, I and some more of the DS crew may or may not be traveling somewhere, we have yet to construct any coherent plans, we may be going to a quaint little town called Whitey, or Whiting , or something like that, anyway, DeRusto and I found it way off to the left in an Iowa Atlas and decided it was a definite future destination.
Bring on the Games! Seriously, this should be a game show! I�ve got it! A game show that�s all movie trivia! Brilliant!

Hm, been a while here, let's see if I remember how to post news. Okay, not that anyone loves doctors but damn, this guy had some kind of complex, "fell and couldn't get up," those were some great commercials weren't they?
And in my area of expertise we have two promising releases this Friday. First off, if you liked Meet the Parents or Zoolander Stiller and Wilson are paired in their fifth movie together Starsky and Hutch, reviving that great '70's cop duo, which I believe should be worth more than a few laughs. The real treat is of course Hidalgo, based on a true story of a man, his horse and one badass race, I'll be seeing it, you'll be seeing it, and all of those people who now permanently will label Viggo Mortenson as Aragorn will be seeing it, probably some fans from Seabiscuit to, you know, because... of, the horse... thing...
That said I am looking forward to next Friday as well when the man himself returns to the screen once again in The Secret Window, featuring the every creepy John Turturro as a plagiarism accusing psycho, running alongside the Deppman may help Turturro escape the downward spiral of his recent affiliations with Sandler, and since we're on the topic of Depp and Turturro here's this and this. That's all for now folks, tune in at some point for possibly more news.

Ok, the stormtroopers are back and they have some pretty crazy accusations goin' on. Festus is supposedly getting better, so he should be back on here posting like old times pretty soon. He may have lost all use of his arms, but he has become quite the nose touch typist!
In other news, Microsoft is planning on releasing a refreshed edition of Windows XP before the real new OS comes out. Lo and behold, it is currently dubbed Microsoft Windows XP: Reloaded. That is a link to the slashdot article..which has a link to the Cnet article. If you feel so inclined there are some comments on the slashdot page that are somewhat humorous, at least in a geeky way.
Excerpts from Slashdot:
You are correct. The actual planned product name is "XP: Return of the King"
...the bomb. No, I mean: ...for jokes galore. Consider:
"Like the original, except everyone's disappointed with it."
"Reloaded? More like reBOOTed! BURN!"
"Here comes Desktop Agent Clippy Smith! 'It looks like you're trying to type a letter, Mister Anderson...'"
"XP has you!"
...followed in 2006 by Longhorn, aka "Microsoft XP Revolutions"
This reminds me of a phrase posted here on slashdot about the movie " How about I give you the finger and you give me my 10 dollars back!"
Got it already, I already reload it twice a day!
Gives new meaning to "a glitch in the matrix", doesn't it?
Does this mean it will have lots of pretty graphics and effects with little actually substance and meaning behind it? Like other things titled "Reloaded"?
It WILL boot up, but the boot-up sequence will be 150 copies of Clippy fighting the Windows logo.

Hey all, got a little movie news here for ya. First off, The Dark Backward, damn, possibly the worst movie I have ever seen, watching it actually seems to have shortened my life. Anyway...
On a lighter note, Dawn is drawing near, but will it live up to its predessecor? I can assure you all I will probably go see it at least four times, and probably a few more after that if it's any good, as you may have noticed I am a little bit of a zombie movie fanatic, which means I am going to be one happy little clam in September with RE: Apocolypse hitting the screen, hell, the trailer alone was enough for me.
Moving on, Superheroes seem to be making a comeback as well. With Batman Intimidation (July,2K5) casting the ever badass Christian Bale as the newest Batman, giving me and excuse to post this link, fuck you RT.com. Superman V (TBA,2K5) remains Supermanless but the fact that both Johnny Depp and Bruce Willis are rumored in the cast is reason enough for me to consider watching and waiting. The Coe de gras however is this little gem, all I have to say to that is... actually, I have nothing to say to that.

Damn Infirmity
|

|

Yes, it is true, I am still alive, I have pulled through my three weeks of dehydration of the body and mind thirty pounds lighter and feeling as though I have aged the same number of years. I have not much to say to you except damn this virus! My multiple doctors are unsure as to the name or origin of said virus but the lovely little bug began by invading my inner ear and cerebellum, causing terrible headaches as well as a fever somewhere around 104, after this my little friend meandered down to me stomach and large intestines, yelling out �Stop the presses!� and single-handedly shutting down my upper digestive system. This all in itself has been a definitly unfun experience, but I have yet to delve into the plethora of medicinal and medical mishaps. My first doctor decided I was having muscular migraines, giving me what I have dubbed pill A. After the fevers decided to intensify I was progressed to pills B and C, one for the fever the other as an anti-nausea pill for the hours of morning bile pyrotechnics I was being subjected to. Anywho, I was beginning to notice some slightly more than moderate discomfort in my esophageal area, this was investigated by doctor number two through the use of a scope and it was decided that pills A, B, and C had decided to work together in causing a charming little thing known as ulceration. I was then put on pill D, this lasted a few agonizing days with no relief, upon returning to doctor two I was introduced to doctor three, who had me incarcerated in the bad half of a midget�s nightmare of a hospital room, alongside an emphysema victim who made sure to announce very eloquently every obstruction in his tar-blackened throat. Upon entering into this sterile hellhole I was taken off of pill D and hooked up to bag E (which I had been hooked up to two and four days prior on temporary visits) which was a new experience for me that became very old very fast, over the next three days I am not completely sure that I remained in the hospital, I am convinced I was abducted by aliens, in that the various proddings, pokings and nuclear scans seemed reminiscent of the X-Files. After wasting nine hours in the process of my dismissal I am now cursed to a diet limiting me to various liquids and semi-liquids including jello and something called turkey paste. I am sure I could go into even more detail but I am also sure that there is probably not anyone left still reading this far down, I am tired, I will now go take pill F and lay in bed struggling to find a position that doesn�t bother my stomach, neck, head, chest or arms, thank you and goodnight.

RIAA/MPAA horseshit
|
|
|
|
I know this is usually Slambs area of expertise, but I'm gonna bring you some news on the RIAA peoples.
Alright, first some bad news, the MPAA has won a suit ruling DVD copying software illegal. Yeah, so it is now fully 'illegal' to make a copy of your own DVD. Not that there would ever be a legitimate reason for doing so in the first place.
Now for a little good news. Illegal music downloads in the US are on the rise. That's good news if I ever heard some. It means people are slightly closer to telling the RIAA to fuck off. Anyway, that's all the news I have for now. Stay tuned for the local weather forecast.

Mayhaps you have seen this stuff called..what's it called?? Axe body spray? Yeah, that's the stuff. Well, I guess today's strip is some sort of 'parody' like device. The main reason for it is to get that Ash guy a bit of screentime, ya know?
Apparently some dude in Germany nicknamed "Turbo-Rolf" forced a woman off the road while driving at 250km/h on the Autobahn. I guess there is a minor consideration about placing a speed limit on the Autobahn now.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicals
|
|
|
|
Let me first say this game rocks. I bought it last tuesday and I havent stoped playing it. For a final fantasy game the style is different. Instead of a command menu like every FF game in exsitance, but it has a style that some what simlar to secret of mana and then some. With some nice combos in single player.
as for multi-player on saturday I bought a GBA just to play with Tempest and his little brother, because each player needs a GBA to play in multi-player. The gameplay is a bit different from single player. First off you better off playing all your chars on one memory card for the reason if you import the only thing you get to take both ways are your starting equipment and any artifacts your find. Spell casting is strange and hard. you have to do crack timing and sometimes you pull of a kick ass spell and you cant ever cast it again because you dont know how it went off in the first place. but anyway the game is great. Worth buying, or renting if you dont trust me.

I guess this is old news, but its new to me. I just went to check on the release date of Kill Bill Volume 2, as I just now, yes now.. got done rewatching Volume 1. Its never too early for a blood-spattering treat, in my opinion. Anyway, back to the reason I am posting. It has come to my attention that Volume 2 has been delayed until April 16th. This is FAR longer than I anticipated waiting and now the withdrawal symptoms are creeping up on me. I know I just watched Volume 1, but c'mon man, I needs me the rest of it!! You could expect a Gollumesque moment right here, I won't type it all out, but you can just imagine me crawling around, disheveled looking as I am, pining for my lost and wondrous "precious". I needs it bad, I may kill some hobbitses to gets to it.. you get the idea.
While I was at movies.com, viewing the tragic news of the delay, I noticed some news about the ever rumoured Simpsons movie. Yes, it would appear it is actually in the works. Someone on the site mentioned the particular episode involving Scorpio. Ah yes, that brings back memories, perhaps the greatest episode of The Simpsons ever. I would pay $7 to go see that episode in the theaters. Which gave me an idea, what if they made a movie revolving mainly around the happening with Scorpio!! Yeah, I know they wouldn't be able to pull it off and make it work, what with the deterioration of the writing crew, but it would be great if it happened. And what the hell, I'm gonna make a thread in the forums for you guys to talk about just how great the Scorpio episode was, now get your little asses in there and say shit!
