Heartlines

                   On a day where so many people are appalled by Chick-fil-a and disapproval of the gay community ( Really? A christian company that is against the idea of cultural acceptance? Say it ain't so!), I find my self in a state of shock. No, not shock over the fact that I like waffle fries and have nothing against gays. I'm in shock over the idea that Liam Neeson is more badass than Bruce Willis. Before tonight, I would have no problem saying John McClane was the most badass character in the history of film. I would have said he was more badass than Ash from The Evil Dead.
                    However, everything changed tonight. Tonight, for the first time, I watched Taken. As the movie started, I figured " Meh, he doesn't seem all that awesome.". Then the real movie started. His daughter was taken and he went into full killing mode. Bryan Mills gave little to no fucks when it came to the law or the safety of others. He flipped his shit and went to Paris to get his daughter back. He started his ballad of badassery by chasing a man until said man jumped off the freeway and was hit by a truck. With that lead cut short, he pissed off a pimp in order to infiltrate a sex den where he figured his daughter was being sold. She wasn't there, but but after he was done, neither was anyone else. Saving a girl that might have information to help him, he was confronted by the French who wanted to send him back home for "disturbing the peace". I know the French are dirty people in the literal sense, but I had no idea their government was as dirty as ours. It seems they were profiting off the sex trade, and didn't want Bryan Mills to ruin everything.
                     If there is one thing I have earned from this movie, it's that I should never piss off Liam Neeson. He went to his old "buddy" in the French government one last time. He showed up at his house and had the French wife prepare dinner. That lady was easily the nicest to Bryan. She was scared and just wanted to know what was going on. This is where Liam Neeson surpasses Bruce Willis in terms of badassery. He shoots her to prove a fucking point. That bullet wound ended up paying off though. He found out his daughter was to be auctioned to the highest bidder ( It would seem virgins are a delicacy in Europe).
                     After a sweet ass murder spree at the "auction house" Bryan chased a car (on foot) to the docks, where his daughter was being loaded onto a boat. At this point, it's all or nothing. Some how, Neeson has to make it onto the boat to save his daughter. He does so in the most badass way. Neeson drives the wrong way down a one way road to reach a bridge. From the bridge, he jumps off, onto the boat, and breaks the guard's neck as he lands. After another sweet 5 minute killing spree, Bryan knocks down the door to the man that has his daughter. This guy is fat as fuck and all of his guards are dead. Does he surrender and apologise? Nope, he thinks holding a knife to the girls throat and trying to bargain will work. One head shot and he's down.
                     Now you all see my dilemma. I have made it a point to have at least one Bruce Willis movie in every movie list I have done, with the exception of the Robin Williams one. To think that I was wrong in declaring John McClane the most badass Character hurts me. What else am I wrong about? Did Rocky even really end the cold war in Rocky 4? I just don't even know anymore. He was a Soviet, a Nazi, a Jedi, and a ninja. He trained Obi-Wan Kenobi, Batman, and the Vault-Boy. Hell, he has been a god in more than one movie and can punch a wolf to death. It is for these reason, on the night of Wednesday, August 1st 2012, I hear by declare Liam Neeson more badass than Bruce Willis.

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

Zombie Survival Tip #3: Cover up. The whole Road Warrior look may be rad as fuck, but if one bite can end you, get some damned body armor.

A Dustland Fairytale

                  Hey, everyone. I just wanted to start by saying my second day of work was pretty awesome. I took a few tables, and made some money. I really can't wait until I make enough money that I can get some new shoes. Since the uniform is black, I have to wear the only black shoes I have... I haven't worn them since high school and let me tell you, not the most forgiving on feet. I'm pretty sure my first $80 is going towards buying my favorite shoes in black. I know, $80 is a lot of money, but when it comes to shoes that I'm going to be wearing all the time, I don't care how much they cost. I know those shoes are going to be worth it.
                 As far as the zombie movie search goes, I've watched a few good ones and downloaded a few more ( I have about 30 left on my watch list). After some thought, I might have to break my list into 3 separate categories: ZomComs, Campy Zombie, and True Horror Zombie. Hell, I could go as far as to break them down into fast zombie/ slow zombie. The possibilities are countless. I guess I'll just have to decide my plan of attack when I get there. For now, I'm still in the research stage of this one. I'm totally planning on watching White Zombie and I'm finishing up the George Romero movies now, but if anyone has any other movies they think I should add to my watch list, I'd really appreciate it. I did add 28 days/weeks later to my list. I'll get to those soon.
                 So far, there is no official start date for our YouTube channel, but rest assured, I will link the hell out of it once we get it started. We don't have the recorder yet, but once we do and figure out how to work it and edit everything I'll let everyone know. We have been working on plans for once we get everything together ( How we will do it, how we will grow it over time, and what type of games we will use). The more I think about it, the more excited I get. I really can't wait to get all of this started. I hope once we get our idea going that you guys will tune in ( if only just to hear how hilarious I am without even trying).
                 As always, I hope everyone has a great night/day. I really appreciate everyone who is still reading this after a month of my posts. I started this blog expecting  to have maybe 10 people reading. Now, after only 23 posts, I have almost 600 page views. With a self worth as low as mine, seeing people actually reading something that I write makes me feel awesome. Thank you.
Zombie Survival Tip #2: Do not think that being on an island will protect you. Zombies are already dead. Therefore, they can walk the bottom of the sea and reach you. Best place to hide? Antartica.

BTW, Bicentennial Man totally holds up.

Good Vibrations

                  Hey, everyone. I finally had my first day of work today ( I miss having money.)! Everyone there is really awesome, and I think this is going to be a great job. I really can't wait to start taking tables and getting paid. I may only be at part time, but part time is better than no time. And this is just one step closer to me getting the recorder and moving on to my dream job!
                  In other news, I have been trying to come up with new lists. I really want to do a top zombie movie list, but I cant really think of many zombie movies. Because of that lack of zombie movie knowledge, I will be taking suggestions for movie downloads. So far, I've downloaded Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Diary of the Dead, 28 days later, Resident Evil, Dead Snow, Zombie Land, Shaun of the Dead, Dead Girl, and Fido. I've seen a few of those, but I really want to know some more to watch. If anyone suggests Left 4 Head (Zombie porn), I will present you with "mad props".
                  In hopes of finding the best 10 zombie movies, I'm off to watch some movies. Like I said, I would really like some recommendations for movies. I hope everyone has a great night, and try not to get your faces eaten off in Miami. I'll try to update you guys on the movie viewing experience tomorrow. Oh, and on a side note, I've been listening to a lot of Lithuanian music lately. Good stuff.

Meilės nėra

                  Hey, everybody. I've been planning this one out for a while, and I think I have it perfect. My list of the top ten Robin Williams movies is finally complete. Before you cast judgment upon me, I will remind you that these are my favorite ten. Just so we're all clear on that. Let the games begin!


#10  Flubber

                    I have not watched this movie in years, and I will continue to not watch it. As a little kid, Flubber was awesome. If I were to watch in now, my childhood would be ruined. There is no doubt in my mind that Flubber does not hold up. In Flubber, Williams plays a forgetful scientist who ( after forgetting his fiancee at the alter) is about to lose the love of his life to Christopher McDonald. You may know McDonald as the dick in just about every movie in the 90's. He is a bad man.
#9  Toys

                  Once again, I find myself afraid of ruining my childhood. I remember Toys as being awesome, funny, and really weird. I'm really not sure if this one holds up. In Toys, Williams is the son of a toy maker. After his father dies, the company is give to his uncle, a general who hates toys. After the general starts making weapons instead of toys, Williams decides it's time to take over.
#8  Aladdin

                  Aladdin definitely holds up. In Aladdin, Williams is the fun loving genie of the lamp. Genie has been cursed to forever grant three wishes to whoever possesses his lamp. However, Aladdin is a decent guy and uses his third wish to set genie free. This movie was so awesome, it spawned a crap ton of sequels, a tv show, plays, ice shows, and much much more.
#7  The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

                    The Adventures of Baron Munchausen will always hold up. In Munchausen, Williams may not have the biggest role, but it is an important one none the less. Williams plays the pervy King of the Moon.  As King of the Moon, he attempts to stop Munchausen from escaping his grasp ( and banging the queen). Despite his giant cages and Q-like mastery of quantum physics, Munchausen escapes... but does not have time to knock boots with the queen.
#6  Dead Poets Society

                     Having just watched it, you can trust me when I say Dead Poets Society holds up. Williams plays the English teacher we all wish we had at some point. As the youngest teacher at his prep school, Williams strives to encourage free thought and individuality among his students. Apparently none of the other adults in the state agree, as he is blamed for the suicide of one of his favorite students.
#5  Bicentennial Man

                     After all the hate people keep throwing at this movie, I really hope it still holds up. I'm willing to risk this one to see if it does. Bicentennial Man was a sweet movie about a robot (Williams) and his desire to become human. He may have free thought and feel love, but society will not yet grant him the rights of a human, because he is not one. To be treated as a human, Williams undergoes various surgeries and experiments to become "human". In the end, he is deemed human, as he has gained the ability to age and eventually die with the love of his life.
#4  What Dreams May Come

                  What Dreams May Come holds up.... sort of. Williams plays a good man who's had a pretty shitty life. He meets the love of his life, marries her, and has two children. That's when things get bad. His children die in a car accident, and that puts a strain on his marriage. They do, however, struggle through. On the anniversary of the day they don't divorce, he dies in a car accident. After he tries to communicate with his wife and turns out making things worse for her, he accepts his death and goes to heaven. once there, he learns that his wife committed suicide and is now in hell. He risks it all to save her and bring her to his own personal heaven. As the movie fades from him and his family, you should stop watching. The last scene of the movie really ruins it. That's why it only sort of holds up.
#3  Good Will Hunting

                      Holds up. In Good Will Hunting, Williams is a therapist who is tasked with helping a genius who works as a janitor at MIT. After a few unresponsive meetings, Williams breaks through Matt Damon's defense mechanisms and begins to bond with him. Damon also forced Williams to reevaluate his own life.
#2  Jumanji

                       I really hope Jumanji holds up. In Jumanji, Williams is a man who was trapped in a magical board game as a child and spent his life growing up in the jungle. Being brought back through the same board game, Williams helps two young orphans and the girl he originally played with beat the game. The idea of a jungle man hanging out with two little kids does sound kind of rapie though.
#1  Hook

                      Totally holds up!  "You can't fight, you can't fly, and you can't crow!" I may be 20, but this is still one of my favorite movies. Williams is a lawyer who takes his family to England to see his wife's grandmother, Wendy. While out at night, Peter Banning's kids are taken in a whirl or green smoke. After a night of drinking for the loss of his children, Peter meets an angry fairy named Tinkerbell. Tink knocks Peter out and he wakes up on a Pirate ship. Still in his tux, Peter dons a disguise and sees what all the commotion is about. After spotting his kids in a trap, it is revealed to him that he is Peter Pan. Having no memory of being Peter Pan, Peter cannot fly and he cannot fight for their freedom. He then seeks the help of the lost boys, who remind him who he is. With their help, he learns how to be a kid again and saves his children for the evil Capt. Hook. This is a great movie that everyone should see.



                      There we go, my list of the top ten Robin Williams movies. Lately, everything he has done is either complete crap or really scary ( I don't like him as a bad guy it's just wrong.). I know there are probably a lot of people mad at me for putting Flubber up there and not Mrs. Doubtfire or Patch Addams, but I just don't like either of them ( James Bond should never be a bad guy.). Oh, and Bicentennial Man is downloading right now, so I should know if it holds up later. Feel free to comment and tell me I have no taste in movies. Have a great night/day everyone.
Skyrim Survival Tip #4: Always use the buddy system. If you're dungeon diving and can't carry anymore, it helps to be able to dump all your dragon bones on someone else.

Spoilers Insue

                    Hey, everybody. I did it. I finally sat down and watched Dead Poets Society. While I liked the movie, I'm not a fan of the ending. Of all the characters, Perry (Wilson for House) is the one I liked the most. They had so many options to keep the ending, but kill off a different student. Ethan Hawke, the quiet student standing in the shadow of his older brother, could have offed himself when pressured to be as good as his brother. Or Josh Charles, heart broken by the rejection of the beautiful Alexandra Powers, could have taken his own life.
                   The point I'm trying to make is that Wilson didn't have to kill himself. It could have been so many other people, and the movie would have still ended with the iconic "Oh Captain, my captain" scene. They could have still pinned the death on Robin Williams, and the boys would have still signed the paper. I guess there's a chance I would feel differently, had I not seen House before this movie, but I can never know. Watching house made me a fan of this actor and made me automatically like his characters more than others.
                   All around, I would say Dead Poets Society is one of Robin Williams' better movies. Robin Williams plays the English teacher we all wish we had, but doesn't really exist. He brings a certain warmth and passion to the role as he strives to encourage individualism amongst his students. "Surprisingly", his methods are met with discouragement from his fellow teachers ( the ultra conservative/ traditional crust old white guys).
                   There is one thing that puzzles me. What was the point of the group? There was only one night of attempting to seduce women, all the others were, as said by Josh Charles, " A bunch of guys sitting around reading poetry". I guess it could have just been about the thrill of escaping the confines of their school, but why a small Indian cave? It could just be my dislike of the dirtiness that is nature, but I would not want to hang out in a cave each night and read poetry. My lack of creativity may also be aiding in me not understanding the love of poetry.
                    It seems I need to adjust my list of the top ten Robin Williams movies before I post it. However, that is a mission for another time. After only sleeping 3 hours, I am seeing a nap in my very near future. As always, I  hope everyone has a great day. And feel free to leave a comment ( The comment box has been fixed).
Skyrim Survival Tip #3: While your voice may be able to knock a dragon out of the sky, you still need a lock pick to unlock a wooden door. So stock up on picks.


And you think Red was hard on Erik!

Leaves in the River

              I'm sorry, everyone. I have failed you all. I watched the first scene of Dead Poets Society and was distracted with Nazi zombies. As the opening credits were rolling, a few friends of mine asked me to play Black Ops, so I jumped on it. However, I did promise you all a great list. Instead of my favorite ten Robin Williams movies, I bring you the ten best Bruce Willis movies! ( Lets see if I can keep a train of thought going after just taking some sleeping pills.)

#10  The Whole 9 Yards

                 Mathew Perry plays a Canadian dentist who, in the midst of a divorce, is pushed into turning in his neighbor (Jimmy the Tulip) over to a mafia boss. Jimmy is a wanted man and just wants to start over in the suburbs. Plus you get to see Amanda Pete nude. That is probably the reason this movie makes the list.
#9  The Siege

                   After the abduction of an Islamic leader, New York is the set as the target for various acts of terrorism. As the FBI and CIA team up to take down the terrorist cells, the U.S. government places New York under Martial Law. And who is the general in charge? Bruce Fucking Willis.
#8  Bandits

                      Bandits, starring Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thorton, and the beautiful Kate Blanchett, is the story of two non-violent bank robbers. As they start to become noticed by the public, the most typical thing happens. The same thing that broke up The Beatles happens here. Kate Blanchett has to come in to their lives and screw everything up. ( At least she's hotter than Yoko Ono)
#7  Armageddon

                 Great movie. Bruce Willis ( an oil driller) is asked to assemble a team to drill a bomb into the center of an asteroid heading towards earth (because scientists can't do that.). Oh, and Billy Bob Thorton is the head of NASA. #6  Unbreakable

                 Unbreakable was a pretty rad movie. Samuel L. Jackson suffers from a rare bone disease where his bones break really easily. As a child reading comic books, he ponders on the thought of someone who is the opposite of him. Someone indestructible. After causing several ridiculous accidents where Bruce Willis is the only survivor, it's determined that Bruce Willis is just the super hero he was looking for. After discovering his power, saving a captive family, and fixing his marital issues, Willis discovers that Jackson is, in fact, an arch villain. The cops are then called and Jackson is put away for life.
#5  Sin City

                     In one of the four separate crime stories in Sin City, Bruce Willis plays the only good cop in his precinct and is dead set on stopping a child rapist. The rapists father has been bribing the police to cover up the crimes, but Willis is better than that. He shoots the rapists ear and junk off and passes out due to blood loss. When he awakes, he learns that he has been framed for all the crimes and all he has to do is confess and he will be out on parole. Willis is better than that though, and remains in jail, receiving letters from the little girl he saved. One day, instead of a letter, he received a finger. Willis then confesses, is let out on parole, finds the girl ( now a stripper) and kills the rapist who sent the finger. After the bloody battle, Willis kills himself to be sure that the girl can live her life i safety.
#4  12 Monkeys

                  12 Monkeys is a sweet movie involving a lot of time traveling. The end is the beginning, and the beginning is the end. And Brad Pitt is in a crazy home. It's pretty damn good. ( side note: it's getting sooooo hard to focus right now)
#3  Hudson Hawk

                 Dude! I love this movie. With a skateboard and the lyrics to every Bing Crosby song, Bruce Willis is able to steal from just about any museum. His greatest job though? Stealing the dreams of the two bad guys who kidnap him and force him to steal the keys to a gold machine. *spoilers* He does get his coffee at the end.
#2  The Fifth Element

                 I just can't get enough of this movie. I'm already a fan of most things sci-fi. Milla Jovovich just makes everything better. Seriously, the resident evil movies would be horrible if they had anyone other than Jovovich playing Alice. Shes the reason I keep watching them. And public indecency laws are the reason I wear pants when I watch them. I don't want to end up like PeeWee.
#1  Die Hard

                Bruce Willis is a New York City cop/ Badass. Allan Rickman is a dick. Germans are evil. I'm going to bed.

             I hope you guys liked the list. I know, there should have been more Die Hard on there, but this was just a top ten. There isn't enough room for all that awesome. Well since I'm starting to dream right now, and I'm not even in bed yet, I should get going. Have a great night/day, everyone.
Skyrim Survival Tip #2: Almost dead? Just sleep for an hour. You'll be alright.

Under Glass

                Hey, everybody. So, it would seem I have a very addictive personality. Since starting up Skyrim again the other day, I can't seem to put it down. I just can't stop questing and dungeon diving. I decided to make a new character and go through the game on the hardest difficulty. I pretty much have to sneak the entire time, because I die from any and all hits ( A crab killed me in the first hour of the game). There is one good thing coming out off all of this Skyrim-ing. I call it the video game diet. The video game diet is where, any time I would be eating, I play a video game instead. Trust me, it works (that's how I lost all that weight in high school).
                Aside from playing Skyrim, I may have found a way to lead into my dream job ( doing professional video game reviews and walkthroughs). I was telling a buddy of mine how Google just accepted my request to put ads up on my blog ( I get paid per click). From there, he kept telling me that I should start a YouTube channel and get ads up on there, make some money per view. That's when it hit us, we are both hilarious and play video games. So I've been looking into how to record video and audio from my xbox and what editing software we should use. It was starting to seem like we would need to be in the same room, be mic'ed up, and have our xboxes linked together. It was starting to sound like we would need a lot of money that I don't have yet. After a few hours of trying to think it through last night, I found a solution. All I have to do is adjust some of the settings on my console, use my turtle beach headphones, and buy the converter I found on amazon.
                Since I really want this to be successful, I'm not going to settle for one of the cheap $20 recording unit on amazon. I found a great hi-def recorder for about $200. With this new job starting next week ( Hopefully I start then.), it shouldn't take long to get the money to pay my sister back for the trip we took to Portland, then buy that recorder. I am so excited about this. If we do this right and get it out there, we would have the potential to get sponsors or even get picked up by a big company. If anyone has any advice they want to throw my way, I would really appreciate it.
               So, that's what I've been up to the past few days. I know, I was supposed to watch Dead Poets Society and do my Robin Williams list, but Skyrim is just too damn addicting. I swear, I'm really going to try to watch it tomorrow and get that updated list on here if it beats any of the other titles. It's getting pretty late ( or early, depending on how you look at it), so I should get some sleep. I hope everyone has a great night/day, and feel free to leave a comment ( I fixed the issue with needing a user name).
