Emperor Fuckshit

How would one go about throwing?

Godfather II (I started watching it, but I was with a friend with no attention span) Lost Highway (ditto) Pulp Fiction (not my type of film, but it's so popular I'd have thought I'd have seen it by now) Rocky Films (they sound shit, but I'm a boxing fan) The Matrix III (I hated 2, liked 1 mildly, but I'm suprised no-one has dragged me to this yet) Eternal Sunshine (if the goddamn cinema printed their goddamn times goddamn correctly, I'd have goddman seen it) The Piano Teacher (HMV never has it, my local video store never has it)

1) There's no direct correlation that can be proven between the game and the murder. Maybe the killer mimicked what he had seen in the game, but for someone to do that, they'd already have to be pretty fucked in the head. Banning the game won't solve that. 2) If you're the parents of the victim then you're biased. Sorry their son died and everything, but it really isn't up to them. Of course they want the game banned -- in their minds it was directly responsible for the death of their son. But I don't believe that to be the case. 3) Zelda and FIFA sell well without decapitation, huh? Well, one's an RPG and one's a football game. What the hell do you expect? 4) It's an important point. Of course it matters.

The kind of people who commit murder / assault 'because of a video game' are not balanced people. They are obviously potentially violent people, with little capacity for humanism or ability to tell fantasy from reality. Video Games don't make these people who they are.

I don't see what makes you an authority on what is and isn't punk. Generally, people consider punk to be most rock that conveys a social / political message in its lyrics. The idea that all punk is 'anti-government', or anarchistic is a myth born out of the characature age of the Sex Pistols. But then, I'm sure your real agenda was to show that despite being young, you're a conservative, and very wacky and whatnot, or whatever.

Because that was the point of punk. That's how it started... There are two good bands (Bad Religion, International Noise Conspiracy) and two decent ones (Op Ivy, Rancid). But the Op Ivy song sucks. So it pretty much sucks.

Surely the person most likely to know if you're on crack or not is you?

You should've consulted YOUR MOM before saying that.

Ordered. ← If you need someone to practice on, I'm right here, baby.

Really enjoyable game for Sox fans yesterday. We got the game in England, so that ruled. THE PASSION IS ON FIRE~! And apparently, A-Rod's version of the dialogue during the fight, where he clearly tells Arroyo 'fuck you' is 'throw the ball over the plate'. Bwahahahahahaha!

ZING~! Take that Slipknot! ← *takes a bow* I'll be here all this week, and try the crab cakes in the foyer!

Even at that price, it's daylight robbery

Bosox get Terry Adams from the Jays for John Hattig, 3B prospect. Meh. Minor deal, but we always need new arms in the bullpen. I would say that losing Hattig is a shame, because of how thin our farm system is, but I think it's so thin that it doesn't matter. What negative effect would losing one more prospect have? Not much.

Franz Ferdinand I guess. A decent album with a few beautifully kitschy singles, dragged down by uninventive indie dross. But better than the rest of that sheeyat. Belle & Sebastian -- not my thing, really. I like some of their stuff, but they're just not my boat, and they struggle to float it. Snow Patrol. Spitting Games is the only good song I've heard from them. They're just 'meh' kind of music. But better than Cold(grandad)play. The Zutons - If they were any more sugary, they'd give us all diabetes. The Streets - Decent hip hop. Then again, I'm not particularly into hip hop. And Skinner is a Kev. Keane - The fact that these people are popular makes me want to kill myself. The rest of the list are people I don't know (Winehouse, Ty, Wyatt), fucking dance/trance/whatever/I don't give a fuck (Basement Jaxx), pop (Jamelia) and Joss Stone, who is Joss Stone.

Police Academy: Mission to Moscow. There are probbaly worse, I just haven't seen them. This was TERRIBLE though.

Million Dead - Song to Ruin I just can't get over this band. It's like someone looked at me and said 'let's make a band for this guy...'. They're MY band!

If he gives up, he doesn't deserve a relaxing time around a swimming pool. CHAIRMAN LMAO~!

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo da Emp is all up in dis hea' reviewin' hizz'ouse! Strangers on a Train Picking up where we left off whenever I last reviewed a Hitchcock film, here's a review of a Hitchcock film. This is the relatively famous story of two men 'criss-crossing' murders, and doing-in the object of the other's kill-fantasies, avoiding suspicion due to percieved lack of motive. However, whilst the crazy douchebag character Bruno Anthony goes through with killing Tennis star Guy Haynes' unwanted wife, Haynes is reluctant to commit murder. And stuff. Really great film, with excellent performances from the male co-stars (the guy playing Bruno in particular). Plenty of suspene, and, you know, stuff. Great ending. Good...film. There was more I wanted to say, but fuck me if I can remember it now. Score: 8/10 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon This film recieved rave reviewes upon release, and, for the most part, I can see why. However, I can't help but feel this film is overrated by Western audiences. The thrilling tale of betrayal, love, and a big sword is pretty engaging, and reasonably light. The script is decent, and filled with pearls of Chinese pseudo-wisdom. It lives by its atmosphere, creating the old-world, noble, honourable feel of ancient China nicely. It was praised for its invention in Britain, but it's really just a Westernization of standard Chinese / Taiwanese dramas of this sort (there's a name for them -- if I was less lazy I would check). It's true that CTHD is captivating, but behind the aura of classic civilization and nobility, lies a fairly standard film. The performances are OK, but its flaws annoying. For example, the twenty minutes of tenuous exposition randomly inserted half-way through the film feels exasperatingly out-of-place. I'm bored with this review now. Score: 7/10 Platoon It's a big Vietnam war, with action and Charlie Sheen is good, and there's tense action action action. This is probably THE war film. Not as graphic as SPR (although it had its bloodshed) it relies rather on getting inside the frail psyches of front-line soldiers. The most famous 'affecting' scene in the film (the caving in of a Vietnamese teenager's skull with a rifle butt) is rather tame these days, and despite the soldiers' talk of 'the brains' its not at all graphic. However, this film is better than SPR by some distance. Sheen's ocassional descent into nihilistic madness 'DIE MOTHERFUCKERS! DIE MOTHERFUCKERS! DIE!' are well acted and believable. The feud between warring commanders Barnes and The Other Guy is very well played out, and the village scene is one of the best war-film scenes EVER! Score: 8.5/10 North by Northwest Hitchcock! Suspense! Swerves! Mistaken Identity Shit! Good Acting! Witty Dialogue! It's all in the hat, Mr. Kennedy. Score: 9/10

I see you are the EVIL NO-HTML VILLAIN! GRRRR! PLAIN TEXT! GRRRR!

At the Drive-in : 27 Songs Capdown : 19 Songs The Vibrators : 14 Songs The Smiths : 13 Songs Pixies : 12 Songs Gang of Four : 12 Songs Sonic Youth : 11 Songs Agent Orange : 10 Songs Bad Brains : 9 Songs Johnny Thunders : 9 Songs I don't download that much music, and also prefer to get loads of bands, and then maybe get more of the bands I really like. I also clear out / make new playlists regularly, so this list doesn't really give that good an idea of what I listen to. A lot of my favourite bands don't even make this list. Plus, this was very half-assed, because I didn't count up all the bands.

Those lyrics aren't even mildly amusing, and are just lame attempts at being edgy / controversial. 'I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix'. Ooooh, hilarious. And so edgy, considering he ONLY DIED ELEVEN YEARS AGO. Do something about Marlon Brando or Pat Tillman, then you can say it's edgy. I listen to music because it's good music, not to hear some dumbasses who think they're being edgy to prick around.

Fletch I mark for Chevy Chase! And the 'Fletch' character! Whoooo! This is a really good comedy, that hits waaaaaaay more often than it misses. Chase is excellent, his delivery of the deadpan wisecracks is absolutely perfect, and I 'lol'ed many times throughout the film. Basically, he infiltrates a police-run drugs ring on the West Coast somewhere, and in particular the lynchpin Police Chief and Wealthy Smuggler Guy. The plot is decent enough for a comedy movie, and everyone around Chase gives perfunctionary enough performances. HUMOUROUS FILM, I SAY! Score: 7.5/10

Gah! I liked Scum. 7/10. The anal rape scene is very well done, and suitably disturbing, and it's just generally a good film.

No...not Belgium...this isn't fair...no...that's not fair...there was time now!
