Smeagol

I absolutely hated Tweener when he first came on the show. His stupid accent dialect just really got on my nerves and I was hoping that T-Bag would rape him and he would get killed off "Oz-style". But this season, they really turned his character around and I really started pulling for him. When he showed up at his girl's house and said what he said, it officially put him over as my favorite character on the show. And then they killed him... Damn...

I think it was necessary though for Agent Mahone to do something drastic like this though to make viewers hate him, as up until this point, he was almost a "good guy" and it was turning into a sequel of "Catch Me if You Can". I figured eventually Mahone was going to start looking into the Burrows case and unravel the big conspiracy that sent Burrows to jail, but this episode shows he's only got one agenda on his mind: Taking Schofield down. And he will stop at no cost, not even the bounds of the law.

You should go here. It tells you all about the different types of electronic music, and should help give you a better idea of what you like and are looking for.

It's not that it's a particularly bad song (though it is), because there are lots of bad songs out there. The thing is, it's a freaking ring tone! A ringtone so popular that they made it into a song. And there is actually an entire CD full of Crazy Frog songs. The second single, Popcorn, has already been released in the UK. This is the dumbest thing since the Hampster Dance CD.

From Billboard.com:

Crazy Frog Descending On North America

By Greg Prato, N.Y.

Having already conquered the U.K. singles chart with a remake of "Axel F," computer-animated creation Crazy Frog has his sights set on North America. Following its July 25 U.K. release, Crazy Frog's first album, "Crazy Hits," will arrive in North America in September via Next Plateau/Universal. A new U.K. single, a remake of Gershon Kingsley's 1972 hit "Popcorn," is due Aug. 15.

Crazy Frog began life as a ring tone, which, according to BBC News, has earned nearly $18 million to date for the Jamster company. The character crossed over into the world of music after being inserted into a dance remix of "Axel F" by producer Wolfgang Boss; the cut spent four weeks at No. 1 on the U.K. singles chart and has sold 450,000 copies in the territory, as well as 500,000 units in France.

Speaking exclusively to Billboard.com, Boss explains how he became responsible for the first hit single that began life as a ring tone (and not the other way around). "We produced 'Axel F.' as a product trying to serve both industries in the best possible way -- the 'standard' record industry by trying to produce a song that would be successful as a record being played on the radio and in clubs," he says.

"In addition, we wanted to appeal to the mobile phone industry," Boss continues. "We deliberately tried to produce a product with every intention to make it a hit for ring tone companies, and, at the same time, the music could benefit from the additional promotion provided by the technology."

Beyond "Axel F" and videos for that cut and "Popcorn," "Crazy Hits" will include remakes of everything from Tag Team's "Whoomp! (There It Is)" to the Human League's "Don't You Want Me" and Technotronic's "Pump Up the Jam." In North America, the track list will be slightly different but is not yet finalized, according to a spokesperson.

Not everybody has jumped on the Crazy Frog bandwagon. In the U.K., the character goes by the unofficial name of "The Annoying Thing," since its commercials are constantly aired during the evening on Channel 4 TV. BBC radio personality Chris Moyles has also taken to playing the song repeatedly to rile up listeners during his morning show.

Here is the international track list for "Crazy Hits":

"Intro"

"Axel F"

"Popcorn"

"Whoomp! (There It Is)"

"1001 Nights"

"Bailando"

"Don't You Want Me"

"Dirty Frog"

"Magic Melody"

"Pump Up the Jam"

"In The 80s"

"Pinocchio"

"Wonderland"

"Dallas (Theme)"

"The Pink Panther"

"Crazy Sounds" (a cappella)

While a PG-13 would most certainly make for a more entertaining movie, should they really be targeting PG-13 movies towards kids?

Has anyone heard that new dance song to the tune of Beverly Hills Cop, with the Crazy Frog making random noises in it? Apparantly it's quite the rave over in the UK, topping the charts for a month. I hate to say it, but it's actually kinda catchy. I'll probably hate it in a week though. For anyone who doesn't know, the crazy frog is that annoying ringtone thing.

Maybe I shouldn't say this, but... I've never even heard of this movie...

I don't think it was blown out of proportion at all. It was on CBS during a football game. Little kids watch that shit. I can only speak for myself, but I wouldn't want my kid to be exposed to that.

But I agree, it is in no way George Bush's fault.

Has anyone heard about the new movie the South Park guys are making? It is basically a parody of the old British television show "Thunderbirds", with the little marionette puppets. It's supposed to be incredibly violent. I don't know too much about it, but it is due out in October, and honestly, I doubt it'll do too well, but I'd expect it to become a cult classic before too long. Anyway, it definately looks like something I'll enjoy and I can't wait to see it.

Honestly, I'd have to agree that GTA games have good replay value. I wouldn't go so far as to say that I play it every day, but I do find it fun to simply drive fast, get my wanted level up, and see how long I can run from the cops before dying/getting arrested.

How will Fallon do? Dunno, but considering how poorly SNL alumni usually do after leaving (with the obvious exception of the originals)...

I have to completely disagree with this statement. I agree that not all of them do too hot, but I'd say over half of the people that leave to seek better options, do in fact, do better. Look at Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Mike Meyers, Chris Rock, and Will Farrell, just to name a few. Who's failed? Although people like Chris Kattan and Norm McDonald never really got huge, they certainly did decent. Both have been in starring movie roles since leaving. I don't claim to be an expert, but I bet they got paid more for their movies than they did for doing SNL.

Someone should bring Plankton into this discussion. IIFC, he is a big Ninja Turtles comic fan.

It just seems weird to see Goldberg lose his first match to someone like Fit Finlay. He IS a heel, though, so I guess that's all right.

Yeah, I went to work and was telling people about how he died, and out of the few people who had even heard of him, most only knew him from the Chapelle Show. I mean, everyone's heard the song Super Freak, but even I wouldn't have recognized the name had that show never been made.

Oh. I just figured a bad guy poisened him or put a spell on him or something.

When I was little, my mom used to buy me this Ninja Turtles comic book thing. It wasn't the size of a regular comic book, more like one of those Archie comic things. Anyway, all four of the turtles were in it, but one of them, Rafael if I recall, was completely black. I don't mean African American, I mean the color black. Does anyone else remember this, and, even better, does anyone know why his color changed? I've been looking all over Yahoo and haven't been able to find anything regarding it. If no one knows, it's cool. I'm just curious.

Yeah, Brosnan is a good bond, but people will see Bond movies regardless of who stars in them. And they could probably save a lot of money casting someone lesser known. I mean, Tobey McGuire was relatively unknown before Spiderman, now he's a household name.

Yeah, Spiderman is awesome, but I beat it after four days and haven't played it since.

If you can make it to the 16th, you should be fine. I remember that the reason he died because he was out celebrating his recent push (as Jericho's lackey) and it was also around his birthday. He hasn't really been used much in your diary, so he doesn't have much to celebrate. Or did you just give him something to celebarate about? Could there be a swerve coming?

I think if anyone should get their own show, it should be Spike.

I just beat it. The ending was decent, but now I'm at the level where you have to get 50,000 points. At the rate of about 100 points per hero event, I may just say screw it and stop playing. I don't have the attention span for something like that. What happens when you do get the 50,000 points? And are there more levels after that? I read something about a Mary Jane Chronicles or something.

I have been stuck in the theatre trying to save the people from burning for a few hours now. I can't seem to get up to the balcony.

Where could I find a program that makes voices like that? I downloaded SayIt, but it doesn't have that female voice Mary Kate uses.

That game is fuckin hard. In the second level, I died over fifty times before finally just giving it up. The people talking was indeed funny, though.

I'm glad the one Olsen twin started dying her hair brown. They need something so people can tell them apart.

I think it's funny. Funny that Nelly thinks so low of his heritage and culture that he expects them to buy two albums.

And a little off topic, but I've always noticed something:

A rock group, or any other type of music, really, will make, let's say, fifty songs. And then they take the very best of them, about ten or twelve, and release an album. They will do this every few years. It seems like rappers will make 20 songs, 19 of which are mediocre, stick all twenty on an album, and then four months later, after they've written another twenty songs, they release another. They don't care about quality at all, just quantity.

If Nelly has that many songs where he has to release two albums, rather than release two CD's with only two good songs each, he should just release, let's say, just one CD with nothing but good songs on it. Maybe then he would gain some of his fanbase back.

But then again, if that many people are dumb enough to buy his albums, then I guess it was a good idea afterall. Not a very respectful idea, but a profitable one.
