My top 3 songs of '07

So I liked a bunch of songs in the last year. Despite the evil rein of Fallout Boy, Soulja Boy, And Boys Like Girls, (Hey, the all have the word boy in them! My prophecy is being fulfilled!) music has survived well into the new milennium. Three albums really caught my attention this year, though, and i'm gonna tell you my Favorite songs from each. Here 'goes!
#3: Doomsday Clock
Album- Zeitgeist
Artist- Smashing Pumpkins
Yes! These guys brought out their new album to show us they can still rock, and it worked for me! From the 5 second drum intro to Billy Corgan's perfectly executed vocals, this epic song about the end of the world ROCKS! And the inclusion on the Transformers Soundtrack was a nice touch, next to all that Linkin Park and crap rap. Or something. I didn't actually listen to the soundtrack.
#2- Bodysnatchers
Album- In Rainbows
Artist- Radiohead
This is the song it played when i had a dream i was a hippy hanging out with the Beatles. And then robin williams showed up and started acting like a T-Rex. Really had that dream. And this song actually did play in the background. It's so psychadelictastic, you won't know which way to turn around when you're done listening to it (which won't be until after listening to it like 10 times it's that good.). From the opening guitar part that's like "Dooj doojjitty DOOJ! doojy doojitty DOOJ! doojjy doojy DOOJ!"... (k, not all things should be translated into words. Especially Guitar Riffs.) to the trademark vocal style of our lazy eyed buddy Thom Yorke, this song rocks out Old School.
And #1 is...
STRAIGHT LINES BY SILVERCHAIR FROM THEIR ROCKTASTIC NEW ALBUM YOUNG MODERN!
So it's not as heavy as those other two, but this song's just pure genius. It was hard to choose between this and the track after it, "If you keep losing sleep", but in the end the feel good song of the year won out. Plus i'm a sucker for Piano Riffs. Dan's voice has just gotten better with age. This trio has really evolved since they were angry 14 year olds from some random Austrailian town, but it's for the better.
LONG LIVE THE CHAIR!

I'm really looking forward to some of the albums coming out this coming year, such as Coldplay's yet to be named Masterpeice in the Making. Hope it's as good as I anticipate it to be.

D-War: The aftermath.

It was the little things that made this movie suck. Like the horrible acting, Random plot holes, and Luh-Luh-Luh LAME humor. Like the fact that there's one scene in the movie where they're driving down the street. Cut to a shot of a hobo sitting by the street in his box, and a random bus comes by and splashes water on him. And then the bum shouts out " YOU LOUSY BUM!"... Cut back to main characters in the car. O...k...? Oh... I get it... the guy was a bum. Ha...ha...ha...
This movie was reportedly the BIGGEST BUDGET KOREAN MADE MOVIE...EVER!? Wow. That pretty much says it all. This movie had the best special effects i've ever seen. They wasted all their money on special effects so that they couldn't afford to get the people in it acting lessons. The director was korean i guess, and i can just see him planning this going " AMERICANS LOVE BIG KOREA MONSTA MOVIE! WE MAKE JOKE ABOUT BUM SO THAT MUCH BUM FALL OUT OF SEAT! I MAKE JOKE!" Yeah, you make bum joke. And when the dude goes to find the girl in the hospital, the lady at the desk is lik " Oh no, she's on quarantine." " Oh but i need to talk to her." Says the hero. " Okay walk right on in"... Yeah... Where did that random hole come from at the beginning? Where did that good dragon come from? WHAT oh WHAT will ever happen to that POOR BUM!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I don't know. And I never will. Seriously though, I was rolling in my seat laughing the whole time. Definitely worth a rental if you enjot making fun of dumb crap. Until next time, I'm smarter than you.

D-War: Here's the last part.

So the next day, the guy and girl get kidnapped by the FBI or something. Yep, that's all that happens. No explaination. So while they're kidnapped, some dude shoots the hero guy in the head. After the dude that shot him is randomly shot, the Hero gets up and says " I'm Fine." Without even a " Oh, it hit my pendant", they escape. Riiiiight. Everyone's frickin' FINE in this movie. So they get picked up by a helicopter and discover that the Snake's rampaging through the city. The snake starts climbing up some building for no reason, and its Pterodactyl Minions are trying to escape the multiple helicopters in vicinity. So the couple randomly jump out of the helicopter, fall 200 feet down, AND...land softly on a building. That's right, they jump out of a helicopter, and they're fine. They're FINE. At least that's more than this movie can say. So, they decide to " Escape to Mexico!"...Like jumping across the border's gonna save them from this dragon who came from Ancient Korea. But they decide to go to Mexico. So they get in the car, and drive to mexico. Next thing you know, they're in some place that looks like Mordor. (At this point my brother leaned over and said " Where the hell are they? Mars?" Yeah. So There's a random castle and a pedastal being stood on by none other than... SHRIMP THROAT VADER! "But I thought the ran over this treacherous VILLAIN!?" Well, so did I. So they're gonna sacrifice the girl (Yep, that's it. They're just gonna sacrifice her.) to the snake when... SOME RANDOM SNAKE WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF SHOWS UP AND KILLS THE OTHER SNAKE BUT NOT BEFORE HE TURNS INTO AN ACTUAL DRAGON!... WHICH IS THE FIRST DRAGON WE'VE SEEN!... THE WHOLE MOVIE! So in the end, the girl turns into a ball of blue light, jumps into the dragon's mouth, and the dragon leaves the guy there on mars. That's how it ends. The dude's just sitting there, wondering " But how am I supposed to get home?" and it just ends...Yaaaaaay.....

D-War: The Second Part.

The old man starts telling the kid he's the reincarnated form of an ancient korean (?) warrior who was supposedly trained his whole life to kill some giant snake. And he's in love with some girl who is like housing the spirit of some other GOOD (yeah...I don't get it either) snake who's supposed to do - Oh I give up on explaining this part. Anyway, when the giant snake's army comes (headed by some guy who talk like darth vader with a shrimp stuck in his throat), the giant snake comes to kill the guy, chases him and his loved one to some cliff, and the guy grabs the girl and jumps off the cliff. Yeah, so much for "Trained your whole life to kill this thing." Anyway, after that HALF HOUR of the movie was over, me and my brother were looking at each other starting to burst into tears laughing at how bad it was. We looked over, and, as expected, my other bro and my dad were also laughing. The rest of this was followed by the dude trying to find the reincarnated version of that chick from the story. He's got his two best weapons at his disposal: A fat black dude and the internet. So he finds the girl. But not before the girl has a heart attack, is hospitalized, and then the giant snake somehow shows up in downtown San Francisco. So the Dude finds her, the go walking on the beach
(all this while the giant snake's rampaging through the city) and the fall in love. This is actually how hard the story was to understand, really it was. So they're driving along in the car later, with the black guy, and the Vader with a Shrimp in his throat show up! Fortunately, he can be hurt by cars. Yeah, they slam into him. So the black guy gets out 'n' starts trying to fight the dude. And he actually does pretty good... UNTIL THE DUDE SLAMS THE BLACK GUY IN THE HEAD. So the guy and the girl just drive away. "Where's jim?" says the girl. "Oh , i'm sure he's fine..." says our Emo Hero. I'M SURE HE'LL BE FINE? This guy got slammed in the head by shrimp-throat vader and YOU'RE SURE HE'S FINE? Oh, but the next day when we see him, all he has is a band-aid on his head. He was fine. Ok, HE'S FINE EVERYONE!
end of part 2 of my description of this CRAP!

D-War: There IS a reason you've never heard of it.

So in the summer of 2007, my mom and sisters left on a road trip or something. Me and my brothers and my dad decided to do something. So we got online to order tickets for a movie. I suggested we go see the Simpsons Movie (HAAAAA! Lelujah!) but we'd already seen that. So we rolled over an ad for a movie called D-War (which I'm assuming stood for Dragon War) and thought "Hey, That looks like it would be worth 2 hours of our time!". This is where the first mistake happened : We bought tickets to see this movie. So we go to lunch first (they closed down Tony Roma's!) and then we walked into the theater. That was the second mistake. We went and sat down, and the movie started: There's a picture of a giant crater that is NEVER mentioned in the movie again. Some guy looks at it, goes back to his apartment, and says "This reminds me of something from my past!"... Ok... we waited for him to say something else, but that was it. *Wavy Flashback!...'d!*. So a kid (who apparently was the young version of this strapping lad) walks into an antique shop with his dad! And there's a creepy old guy who's selling cool stuff for ridiculously low prices ($10 for that dagger on the table? How does this guy survive!). The kid goes and opens some box. That Kamehameha's him in the face. That is NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN. Old man fakes a heart attack, dad leaves to "get help", and the old man goes over to the kid... End of part 1 of my description of this crapful movie.

'The fetch?

Hey there! I've just created a blog for no particular reason! Here I'll post my opinions on various occurences, musical experiences, movies and shows, and some other stuff I'm too lazy to type on the keys that are half an inch away from my fingers! Odds are, about two people will read this...but oh well, it makes me feel important. K I'll stop talking about random stuff. I shall type crap at thee later. Bye.
