Devil's Pass

A co-worker recommended the movie Devil's Pass to me. So, I watched it tonight.

It is about a group of documentarians, is that a word? A group of people going to film a documentary about a group of Russians, supposedly 9, that died in Dyatlev Pass in the Urals.

Strange things start happening as soon as the group gets to Russia. They are told a man they want to interview is dead. However, he is in the window holding a sign basically telling them to leave.

They meet a bartender's Aunt who was Nurse there when they found the people in the pass. She says there were 11 not 9.

The weirdness continues. When they get on their way it starts to remind me of The Blair Witch Project. Group of documentarians encounter strange shit but don't actually see it. Foot prints around their camp. Shit like that.

It isn't bad so far, I am am about 43 minutes into it, but it isn't that good. Better production values than Blair Witch Project, but that was sort of intentional to give BWP the feel it had.

Oh and no I don't think it is the Yeti following them. Mind you, it could be. But the one in charge says it isn't because they don't exist. Why would she be in charge if she didn't know these things. ;)

And the Geiger counters are picking up stuff. Can you see this Jensen? Oh Jensen! There is a door!!!!! A door in the middle of the mountain that locks from the outside. Of course they will open it. Wouldn't you? Nope. I would get the fuck out of there.

Oh yeah, let's leave the door that is already unlocked until tomorrow. Wow. Impeach your leader!

Orange lights in the sky. Hmmmm.

Holly has been strangely drawn to this place.

Hmmmmmm.

Holly and Jensen head for the door. Oh, and of course the cameraman goes too. He is omnipresent.

And they go in. Why am I having visions of the voice in Amityville Horror telling the priest to "Get Out!"?!?!?

Don't power up! Get out!

I like that this movie has me thinking. It isn't the greatest movie I have ever seen but it is entertaining me.

Damn! It works the Philadelphia Experiment into the movie!!!! :)

Ewwww they found his tongue earlier.

Feh ... why not switch batteries. Heh. :)

Ok ... I won't give anything else away. I like this movie. :) It isn't the best but it made me think. And I was right, which makes me like it even more. Being right is usually good. :)

Damn ... I see sequel.

Thank you Eastlink and *60!

I have to say dealing with incessant assholes calling to scam me or push their product is so much easier thanks to *60. I had problems with a constantly calling cunt a few years ago and the Eastlink customer care person I talked to told me about the wonders of *60. It still serves me well. :) I just wish I could block more than 12 numbers. I haven't had to block that many but I wish it was an unlimited number. :)

For those who don't know and are Eastlink users:

As soon as you hang up on the annoying assholes enter *60.

Listen to the instructions. You will be told to hit #01# to block the last number that called you.

Badda boom badda bing. Asshole blocked. :)

It is so easy it is scary. :)

What prompted this was a call from yet another scammer tonight. Some piece of shit calling from 1-761-425-8935 trying to tell me that my computer was sending out some sort of distress message and I needed to trust them and give them access.

Fucktards. I trust no one but my mother and my dog.

Fuck you IMDB!

I have been watching a show called Booze Traveler. It is pretty interesting and has some great quotes. I wanted to compile some and what would be easier than doing a google search on "booze traveler  quotes". Boy was I wrong.

The VERY first hit is for the IMDB quote page for Booze Traveler. Which would have been great if it actually had any fucking quotes. Instead I got to see the folowing:
  
"It looks like we don't have any Quotes for this title yet.
Be the first to contribute! Just click the "Edit page" button at the bottom of the page or learn more in the Quotes submission guide."
  
Fuck you IMDB! If you don't have a quote page then don't act as if you do!

I copied down a great quote from Season 1 of this show that I will NOT share with IMDB but will put in a future post.

They Live

The Rowdy One is gone. R.I.P. Roddy Piper. Gone, but never forgotten. He will live on in video, be it wrestling or movies. In remembrance of him I am watching They Live tonight. I haven't seen it in about 15-20 years.

I either did not know or completely forgot that They Live is a John Carpenter movie. Damn!

Holy shit Piper looks young. Then again, he was back then, it was 27 years ago.

The lead in is kind of slow and if you don't pay attention you will miss things.

when it comes to people trying to survive ... S2D2 ... same shit different decade.

"The golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules." Steel makers in the movie and bankers now. Car makers in between. Like I said, same shit different decade.

TV was used to make people into zombies then. Now it is cell phones. What exactly is the opiate of the masses?

Now I am remembering why I liked the movie so much. :)

22 minutes in and still kind of slow. But it works.

Bye bye shanty town. But they will rebuild.

I love how they show the use of subliminal messaging. Send me money. It is well done. Send me money. Of course we don't know it until he gets the right pair of shades. Send me money.

It is a sad commentary on society that the theme of this movie STILL resonates today.

Damn Piper really pulls off the facial expressions the first time he sees one of THEM.

Heh ... money sublimanlly says "THIS IS YOUR GOD." It does seem like that with a lot of people. Send me money. ;)

And now it all starts to come together.

Interesting the first thing I think of when he sees the Politician is one of them with OBEY behind him is George Bush with Mission Accomplished behind him. When had he accomplished? NOTHING!

"You know, you look like your head fell in the cheese dip back in 1957."

Heh :)

"You see, I take these glasses off, she looks like a regular person, doesn't she? Put 'em back on ... formaldehyde-face!"

Damn ... you gave yourself away!

"That's like pouring perfume on a pig." Bwahahahahahaha!!!

And now I am reminded of ... GO ROWDY!!! Clothesline! GO ROWDY!! Kick their asses!!!! ... oops I digress ... reminded of Monty Python. "Come see the violence inherent in the system."

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass ... and I am all out of bubblegum." Heh :)

"Momma don't like tattletales." BLAM!!!!!!!!!

Damn! NOW things are speeding up. Go Roddy! Go Roddy!

God damn! Does her ass look that nice with the sunglasses on? Yes it does. :)

Is Captain Lou Albano her neighbour?!?!?!? Nope, but it could be his son.

Ouch! Damn! Never trust a dame! Ummm ... never kidnap a dame?

And that is why you don't hide stuff in garbage!

"I'm giving you a choice. Either put on these glasses or start eating that trashcan." Sounds like we have ourselves a no disqualification street fight here!!!! Go Roddy!

"You dirty motherfucker!" Heh ... someone forget it was no DQ. :)

And there was a WWF ... oops ... WWE move. :)

God damn! Piper fights as dirty in the movie as he did in the ring! Go Roddy!

Roddy suplexed him!!!

"You ain't the first son of a bitch to wake up from their dream!"

Life as you know it is over. Or as Roddy said "Brother, life's a bitch... and she's back in heat."

The hotel room ... that is the raging Rowdy Roddy that I remember from the ring. :)

"You can take your sunglasses off in here. We are all human."  Fuck that! Trust no one without the lenses!

Interesting corridor.

I need assistance.

DAMN!

And in the end he gives them the finger. :)

Love the ending.

God damn. Good movie. I reccommend it. :)



DOA: Dead or Alive

I was perusing a site and saw a blurb about a movie called DOA Dead or Alive.

The set up was interesting enough. A group of female martial arts experts are invited to take part in DOA. A competition. Well, that is how it seems.

The fight scenes so far, 11 minutes in, have been great.

Devon Aoki. Mmmmm.

Three, oops four, women who have been invited are the core of the story. Men have been invited but at this point who cares. :)

Right off the bat I was thinking of .... Blood Sport. Kumite! Kumite! Kumite! The movie has about the same amount of plot to it. But it works. Kind of like, well, Blood Sport and Desperado. Yet so much better than the Street Fighter movie.

Still not caring that guys were invited. To be fodder. :)

OMG ... her father bit her in the inner thigh. :) Oh to be Kevin Nash. :)

Holy shit there is a plot. Of sorts. But now the Martial arts women are playing volleyball so who cares. :)

Oh yeah bitch the glasses are off!

It is a good movie to watch if you just want to see some fighting. It doesn't take any thinking. If it was as bloody as Desperado it would have been better. :)

A good way to while away some time.

Hokey ending but I liked it. :)

I didn't know it at the time but it is based on a video game.

Hmmm ... now I want to watch Blood Sport again. And Desperado.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

On a whim I decided to watch Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.

It started off ok, with a funny police chase. The step-father, played by The Rock, just happens to be an ex-Navy cryptographer who then decides to help his step-son go to mysterious island and find his Grandfather.

The step-father also just happens to be rich and takes the step-son to find the island.

Luis Guzman for comedic relief works.

So far it is actually kind of funny. The helicopter ... heh. Damn. Intense flight.

"We are literally walking on eggshells."

C'mon Rock throw a People's Elbow on that lizard!

Action scenese aren't bad. Ok, he punched the giant lizard. That was pretty good.

Granpa is Michael Caine. Cool. :) The back and forth between him and the Rock is pretty good.

The peck pop of love. Bwahahahahahahaha!!! Feed 'em they are hungry. Bwahahahahahaha!!!

God damn ... I am ... enjoying the movie. Damn! I started off not expecting much of anything. ok, I lie, I expected a huge suck fest. It isn't bad.

"Medi-care doesn't cover old ladies falling off of giant bees." Classic. :)

The movie is good enough that I can suspend my disbelief of giant bees. Nice chase scene.

Rocking the ukelele. :)

Ok. If you want a movie that is funny without having to think a lot then this is a good one. I like it.

Great ending. WTF with the game off game on? Sounded like being in Canada. ;)

What the ... shooting?!?!?

This could also be called What the ,,, media whore?!?!?!? What the .... asshole got shot?!?!/

As I have droned on about before, people are morons and a lot of them are media whores, They will do anything to get attention. Case in point is an "Internet Sensation" by the name of Tyrone Jones.

Mr. Jones is one of many YouTubers who pull pranks or do "social experiments" and post them online. Mr. Jones type of prank is to go up to a couple and, aggressively, letting them know he is going to have intercourse with the wife/gf. In one of the videos I saw he walks up to a couple about to enter their building and shouts "I am Tyrone and I am gonna fuck your wife!" Wow. That is so funny. NOT!

This is entertainment?!?!?!?

It worries me when people refer to assholes like Tyrone Jones as "street performers". Seriously? Walking up to strangers and getting in their faces telling them you are going to fuck their wife is street performance? What the fuck?!?!?!

The fact he is considered an "internet sensation" is also disturbing.

So, a few days ago, Jonesy was doing his "street performance" to Darnell Williams and his wife in Houston. He was on Williams property. According to eyewitnesses Jones was his usual self, aggressive, profane, "I am going to fuck your wife". Williams told him to leave 3 times. Jones and his crew didn't so Williams pulled out a 9mm and shot Jones in the chest 3 times.

Then Jones "crew" ran up yelling it was just a prank. Just a prank. Yeah, right. 911 was called and hilarity ensued. What a great prank!

Fortunately?, Jones lived. Odds are he will learn nothing from this and continue his "street performance". Jones will be charged with Criminal Trespass when he is released.

Williams is under arrest and being charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. IF Jones approached him like he normally does and refused to leave the assault charge should be dropped. Hell, I hope the second charge gets dropped even though it is justified.

What the fuck is up with people? It is just a prank. I am doing a social experiment. No, you are being a fucktard. And this fucktard almost got killed.
