My thoughts on the "Punisher War Zone" movie...

This Saturday I went to see "Punisher War Zone" at my local theater. I had been anticipating this movie ever since I saw the first trailer as I am a huge Punisher fan. So to get myself in the fanboy mood and to make sure that I would NOT have any reason to leave the theater, I put on my punisher skull emblem t-shirt, and did not eat or drink for 2 hours before the movie. After sitting down with my friend Genesis and my step son Eric, we b.s.-ed until the previews started and right away we were off and running. The trailers were a good start- Underworld 3, Friday the 13th, and My Bloody Valentine 3D. And then.....the Punisher War Zone joygasm began.


There are some minor spoilers as to the first 5-10 minutes of the movie, but I WILL NOT REVEAL THE REST OF THE FILM. The movie started with the usual Marvel logo, only difference this time is that it said Marvel Knights instead of just Marvel. For those of you not aware, Marvel Knights is the Marvel Studios new division for mature movies. Anyway, the movie started with a comic book montage of Frank Castle(a.k.a. The Punisher), working on his armory and listening to a television report of how a mob boss got acquitted because the main witness was murdered and the police didn't have the evidence to put him away. We then cut to two cops sitting in a car who we soon find out are Detective Martin Soap and another cop I don't remember the name of. They're siting outside the mob bosses house as he hold an enormous party to celebrate his acquittal, we meet Billy Russotti, who is aiming to become boss of the mobs and is not happy with having to wait. The cops are waiting for The Punisher to arrive, and seemingly have differing opinions on whether or not Castle is a good guy or a bad guy. Well arrive he does and with an incredible amount of violence and gore, fucks everyone up at the party, thus setting the tone for one of the goriest most bad ass comic book movies EVER.

Now with that said I was surprised at how well they captured the comic books. There were f-bombs dropped with amazing regularity, graphic gore in the deaths, no real sexual stuff as it wasn't really necessary, but there were appearances of major punisher characters, the backstory was intact, and the movie WASN'T an origin story. It takes place six years into Castle's war, and shows not only how much damage he's done, but how hard it is for the police to catch him or the mob to kill him. I have to say as a Punisher fan, this is the BEST Punisher adaptation I have ever seen. Better than the 1988 Lundgren "classic"(eww), the 2004 Thomas Jane version, and if they never make another Punisher movie I will be unhappy, but I am satisfied with what they have given me in this one. Hands down the BEST movie I have seen all year, bar none. On a scale of 1 to 10 I have to give this a 1,000,000. Go see it, just leave the kids at home, cause likeI said, this IS a very gory, very violent, f-bomb extravaganza that is rated R for a reason. A billion stars, go check it out!

MADTv R.I.P. (1995-2008)

Fox, the grand wizards of douchebaggery, have decided to cancel the ONLY sketch comedy show worth watching, MADTv. Thanks FOX, now I have to watch SNL. I think I would rather have my nuts removed with a rusty hacksaw. First you kill off Married with Children with no respect for the show, then King of the Hill and now MADTv. FUCK YOU FOX. If you ever touch the Simpsons I swear to fucking GOD I will hunt you all down and kill you. END OF CONVERSATION. BITCHES.

YouTube removed one of my videos!

After over 300,000 some odd views on YouTube, "Bobby Brown - On Our Own from Ghostbusters II" was pulled due to some douchebag complaining of copyright ownership. So I posted the following on my main account info page:

"As of today, someone, and I don't know who, complained that this video was copyrighted and had YouTube pull it down. I will not dispute the fact that it was copyrighted back in 1989. Whether or not the original copyright holders kept up the copyright or not I don't know. As a great deal of my content is copyrighted material(i.e. Ghostbusters, Transformers, etc.), YouTube could conceivably receive more complaints about my alleged "illegal" content and have it removed. If this does indeed happen, I will of course abide by the decision of the lame-o's who run YouTube, and pull them down, and I will not replace them. Once all of my content has been flagged and removed, I will no longer have anything to do with this page, so if there is something that you liked on my page, please feel free to grab it with whatever vid grabber you have, as when it's gone, it's gone. I apologize to all of the people who joined my friend list or subscribed because of the content that may end up gone, and I hope that you have enjoyed all that I have been able to bring to all of you. And to the copyright holders who piss and moan over 10 - 20 year old music videos or commercials, that they aren't even making money off of anymore, well I hope that you are all happy that you are making the internet a little less free. Thanks to all who befriended me and subscribed. You guys made Bobby Brown - On Our Own from Ghostbusters II" a great success and I really appreciate it.

Peace!"


I truly cannot understand what goes through the mind of some of these copyright holders who cling desperately to an old commercial or music video some 10 to 20 years after it's money making life cycle has ended, and deny fans the right to show their love for said property. I mean Jesus Christ, how was I exploiting the copyright on a 19 year old music video, that was being watched for purely nostalgic reasons? YouTube is a bunch of pussies, that capitulate to alleged copyright holders faster than the French to the Nazi's in WWII. Fuck Youtube.

"He's Gonna Take You Back to the Past.....

"..to play some shitty games that suck ass. He'd rather have, a buffalo, take a diarrhea dump in his ear. He'd rather eat, the rotten asshole, of a roadkill skunk and down it with beer. He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard, he's the Angry Nintendo Nerd. He's the angry Atari, Sega Nerd, He's the Angry Video Game Nerd." Yes the lyrics to the Angry Video Game Nerd theme definitely describe filmmaker James Rolfe's creation. I found The Angry Video game Nerd on Youtube way back when he was the Angry Nintendo Nerd. (He had to change the name to prevent lawsuits from Nintendo when he started selling merchandise). I had never seen anything like him before. A grown man playing old NES games and screaming his fucking head off to profanity that would make a sailor blush. And all of his points were valid. As each review came out, he added and added to his reputation for being hysterically funny , clever and very much on point on his criticisms of these old games.

Mr James Rolfe is a filmmaker who produces his work through his film company Cinemassacre. He has done many other projects and continues to do well at his craft and the few movies of his that I have been fortunate enough to see have been excellent. His documentaries, most notably "Rocky Jumped a Park Bench", have been well done, full of nostalgia and great production values. James created the AVGN one night as a private joke for his friends, a story of a nerd who has been through the hell of playing Castlevania II - Simon's Quest, and can't believe all of the bullshit in the game's flaws. So as he reviews the game and it's many shortcomings, he chugs a Rolling Rock beer and looks appropriately depressed and angry. His friends liked the video so much that they kept telling him to put the video online. Relenting, he placed the Simon's Quest review on YouTube and the rest as they say is history.

His awards on youtube include:
#13 - Most Subscribed (All Time)
#5 - Most Subscribed (All Time) - Directors
#51 - Most Viewed (Today)

The AVGN's music is done excellently by Mr. Kyle Justin, who in the latest nerd video got to come from behind the couch and out of his theme song duties to help the nerd review Battletoads. In addition to the kick ass opening theme for the Nerd, Mr. Justin is also a musician in his own right, who has a great deal of excellent music on his Myspace and can be purchased through his website. All of the artwork for the AVGN is done by Mike Matei, who is also the person portraying all of the "guest" characters that come and harass the nerd. From Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, to the Cowardly Lion and Bugs Bunny, Mike has portrayed them all. His art work is excellent and can be viewed by clicking HERE.

As with all success stories come tons and tons of imitators, some good, some bad, and some who are just Douche bags. I refer to the Irate Gamer. A man who not only rips off the AVGN, but claims he was doing this first and that James ripped him off. Irate Gamer, you should be ashamed of yourself. You're a liar and a hypocrite and need to just go off somewhere and do your thing quietly and without bothering others. As to other similar game reviews, Armake21 and Spoony One are the cream of the crop when it comes to game reviews outside the world of AVGN.

So, go to www.gametrailers.com/screwattack and you can see all of the AVGN videos. GO to see Armake21 for fun game videos and to The Spoony Experiment for even more fun game reviews.

And for you Irate Gamer.....FUCK YOU.

*sigh* Why do these people exist?

Maybe it's just me, but I wonder sometimes.... Why do people like this exist? I mean really. I've been watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians for the past half-hour mostly due to there being nothing on the damn DirecTV,GOD help me. And I wonder why do rich spoiled fucking whores like this get their own tv show? Kim is a slut who released a sex tape with some black dude using her in every conceivable way and then pissing on her. I guess she's supposed to be a role model, eh? Her sister Khloe was sentenced to community service and a rehab course for a DUI, and when she didn't bother to do either was convicted and sentenced to 30 days, of which she only served 3 hours. She was released due to "overcrowding" in the only female inmate center in LA. A couple of questions come to mind, first, when the fuck are they going to build a new prison for the ladies to relieve the "overcrowding" problem, and how many blowjobs did she have to pass out to the cops in this prision to get out early?

Maybe I'm jaded, but when people like the Kardashians, the Lohans, the Spears, and all of their ilk roam the street of Los Angeles doing whatever the fuck they want and as far as I've seen they are untouchable by the law. Either they get busted and spend a small amount of time in jail, usually amounting in a small few hours, or they do things that are illegal in full view of cameras and the public and nothing happens. Police like Sherrif Lee "Chewy" Bacca are a disgrace to their badges by letting the celebrity of their inmates blind them to both the law and the orders of Judges. Too many celebs skate by on their so called "fame" and get away with murder(See "o.j. Simpson case, circa 1990's). Someone once said that if O.J. had been a buis driver and not a famous former athelete/actor, then the "Trial of the Century" would have been another day in court andhe would have been put in jail for life or on death row. Same thing with Paris Hilton. If she had just been another hooker on Hollywood and Vine, then she would have been locked up for a couple of monhts to a couple of years. And don't get me started on Lindsay Lohan. How many times has she been busted for drug use, possession, DUI, etc., etc., etc., and not served more than 75 minutes time total? What the FUCK happened to the idea of justice? Maybe I should become a millionaire so I can get wasted and kill people too.

In closing, all I can say is that Hollywood is full of parasites that can get away with whatever the fuck they want and I cannot stand it. I just read that Christian Bale was charged with assault on his mom and sister over in England. I don't know the specifics of what happened but if he did in fact assault them he should do some time for it. But the interesting part is that Mr. Bale made an appointment to meet with police to turn himself in and did it quietly and without having the cops come get him. What's shocking about that is that he's in the highest grossing film of this summer, maybe of all time, and he could have hiddwen behind his lawyers or agetns but instead he did the right thing, withous fuss, without press releases, without drawing attention to how "unfair" the police are. He did the right thing. He may have made a mistake, but he did the right thing and is currently sitting in a London jail, awaiitng his day in court to tell his side of the story and face whatever punishment is in store for him if he's guilty. I respect that. He is, by doing what should be done, showing that he knows that NO ONE is above the law, and that he accepts that he has done something wrong and is willing to face the consequences. He sets and example that NO ONE in Hopllywood would ever do as unlike England, Hollywood is full of the elite who are apparently NEVER responsible for their actions, and are NEVER to be held accountable for what their self destructive lifestyles do to others. Fuck the Kardashians, the Lohans, the Simpsons(Jessica and Ashlee), and especially the Hiltons.
