Dead as Dillinger.
The Flash DVD set is pretty damn good, for what it is. Hey, no commentary, no extras, no behind the scenes featurette ... it's about as good as this show was ever going to get.
I watched an episode of "Best 90's Ever" on VH1, and it occurred to me how damn dated and underwhelming Kevin Smith's Jay & Silent Bob schtick has truly become. I was under the impression that fat fucker was finished with his quaint little "Askewniverse" after "Jay & Silent Strike Back" (I never realized that they were struck against in the first place). But alas, no, on the horizon lies the "Clerks" sequel. I think it's called "One Trick Pony."
I think it'd be safe to assume that Joe Lieberman killed arcades when he pushed for legislation on ratings for video games. Unlike movie theaters, where the folks at the front might actually try to enforce the "17 & under not admitted" tagline for R-rated films, who at the Tilt was going to enforce the "M" rating on Mortal Kombat IX when Junior plunks down his $.50 because he wants to see if the code that makes Mileena naked really works?
I wonder what a game like "WWF Wrestlefest" would have gotten for a rating when it was released back in the day, given that kids could have imitated all those moves to incapacitate their playmates? Or "Metal Slug," with its depiction of the torture of prisoners of war? What about "Double Dragon" or "Final Fight," with all that horrible gang violence?
Earlier this month, we were talking about the hard times Newport was going through. Maybe they just need a change in the mayoral office ...
Vampire goes for governor
Voters in the US state of Minnesota may find a self-proclaimed vampire on the ballot for the office this year.
Jonathan 'The Impaler' Sharkey says he plans to announce his bid for governor today on the ticket of the Vampyres, Witches and Pagans Party.
"Politics is a cut-throat business," he said.
Eight years ago, Minnesota elected a former professional wrestler, Jesse 'The Body' Ventura, as its governor.
"I'm a Satanist who doesn't hate Jesus," Mr Sharkey said. "I just hate God, the Father."
Sign me up for my front row seat to FX's show, "Black. White." It has "Black Like Me 2k6" written all over it. In the ad for the show, it had the tagline, "Trading Races," which I thought was the name for the show. Thank god that it isn't. Bad enough we had "Trading Spouses" ... I hope Dave Chappelle got fat money for that one.
The GZA/Muggs collab album, "Grandmasters" is pretty slick. Muggs drops some of that Cypress Hill production for his more consistent Soul Assassin style ... and believe me, there is a difference. I had to drive home after buying it, so I didn't absorb it like I would if I were at home listening to it.
"Infinite Crisis #4" has come and gone, and it feels like one of those indy comics, where disenfranchised 20-somethings sit around for 100 issues and talk about shit but don't do anything about it.
I don't have any idea where this thing's going. I'm starting to care less and less with each issue though.
A'ight humps, it's time for TNA, hoping against hope that Samoa Joe chokes out Sting (admit it ... you'd shit). So until tomorrow, this is Nate, signing out from Chocolate City.
