30 Seconds to Mars – The Ride

30 Seconds to Mars are back with their third album titled, This is War. And spawning from this album is the first song Kings and Queens which is compiled into the short film directed by the enigma Bartholomew Cubbins…The Ride. Check it out below.

Of course, as of late, the music video has been dead. Even great bands have lackluster videos in the modern day. Mindlessly playing their guitars as the video follows a story that usually isn’t anything or has nothing to do with the song at hand. But this video captures the beauty of the song and the meaning. I don’t care if you enjoy the band or not but they can make a music video.

Werner Herzog

The man is simply brilliant. He describes things with such emotion and understanding that it can boggle a mind or two. He’s made movies that are just amazing that sometimes defy explanation of such.

He has a film school that is nothing like any other film school. He teaches about the hard way to do things; the fun way to do things. He can be called crazy but so was Einstein.

Anyways, here’s a few things related to the man.

You Caught Me

I’m lazy-ing up again. Here’s a video. I promise I’ll do something of note.

One Bomb, Two People

So this is a script I wrote recently for a creative writing class and I’m impressed with how good it came out in the first draft. There are a few errors in here but I haven’t the time to search it all right now. Have a gander will you?

Michael Jackson’s Box Office Report

The King of Pop returned from the dead on Halloween Weekend to take the top spot at the box office. Queue up Thriller or what have you because he’s going to be dug up many more times I assume. The film, This is It is being heralded by most critics despite just being a piece to collect on the cash cow that was Michael Jackson. If it wins any awards this year I’m going to dropkick a TV and I will not disappoint either. Below are the top 10 for the weekend with a little bit of notes to go along.

1. This is It – $21.3M ($32.509M)
2. Paranormal Activity – $16.54M ($84.78M)
3. Law Abiding Citizen – $7.303M ($51.385M)
4. Couples Retreat – $6.097M ($86.663M)
5. Saw 6 – $5.56M ($22.824M)
6. Where the Wild Things Are – $5.081M ($61.8M)
7. The Stepfather – $3.4M ($24.748M)
8. Astro Boy – $3.035M ($10.891M)
9. Amelia – $3M ($8.306M)
10. Cirque du Freak: Vampire’s Assistant – $2.809M ($10.521M)

Notes
- Obviously if you haven’t heard of Paranormal Activity yet you will now. It has become the most profitable of all the times beating out The Blair With Project. And guess what, it had the same marketing strategy essentially. Low budget, shock value and word of mouth. People say it’s shit, people say it’s awesome. Sounds exactly the same as Blair Witch. Oh well. Moving on.
- In a surprising event, Where the Wild Things Are is falling off the radar while Law Abiding Citizen is riding off the coattails of Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx. WTWTA has dropped 63.8% this week despite being a nerd/indie wet dream. It’s funny to think a remake of The Stepfather might be more profitable than it.
- Speaking of wet dreams, the wet dream for douchebags Boondock Saints 2 opened up this week on 68 screens. It made about $462k. Eh, it’d be better to watch an Arnie movie. At least then you’d get funny puns and jokes.
- Gentlemen Broncos opened up on 2 screens making $10k total. This comes from the guy who made Napoleon Dynamite and it looks interesting as it has Sam Rockwell and one half of Flight of the Conchords. I’ll wait for Netflix.
- For 2009 we have 21 $100M+ movies whereas in 2008 at this point we had 19. But 2008 had more $200M+ with 6 to 5. New Moon should fix that I would suspect.

Next Week
- A four film race is set as we have The Box from Richard Kelly, A Christmas Carol IN LIVE CAPTURE AND 3D, The Fourth Kind which has to be based on a true story for realz dog and Men Who Stare at Goats which just looks amazing.

Tyson – Movie Review

Tyson is the documentary of sorts that chronicles the life of boxing living legend Mike Tyson. It (with pun intended) pulls no punches in its depiction of Iron Mike. From the highs to the lows it covers it all and it does so with great effect. Below I shall explain my reasonings behind this.

You Can Catch Me on Uncharted 2

So yeah you can attribute any of the upcoming and recurring absences to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. It’s seriously the best game I’ve played since Little Big Planet. The multiplayer is as addictive, the single player campaign is fantastic.

But the real reason I’m absent is actually the multiplayer. It’s just so addicting. No matter how many times I get killed through walls and all of it’s negative aspects, I just can’t get enough.

Terminator 2 Rap

So first we had the Predator rap by DJ Mayhem and DJ Mouthmaster Murf, then they brought along the Robocop rap and now they are back with another Arnie movie…Terminator 2. The beat for this is sick and the rhymes are as well. Watch and enjoy.

I’m Back

Hello, I have decided to venture back here to wordpress as my venture to make internet monies failed on every level. Anywho I plan on using this for what I did before. Movie reviews, stories and poetry and the added bonus box office report.

Also, I just might post pictures and such of hilarious items. Oh so highlarious.
