Looking Ahead

Lots of new/upcoming films that I'm very intrigued by...here's a look:



Avatar:





Story: An injured Marine named Jake Sully travels to a forest-like planet named Pandora to recieve a new body: that of a human-Na'vi (Pandora's inhabitants) hybrid. The Na'vi are blue with tails and stand about 9 feet tall. They are considered primitive but, unbeknownst to humans, are actually more advanced. The Na'vi's land is being encroached upon by the humans and Jake, in his quest for a healthy body, has unwittingly become a part of that. War ensues...

This movie is touted to be the future of movies: effortlessly combining 3D graphics and new filming techniques. I can't wait until it comes out!

-----------------------------------

Another film, Inglorious Basterds, has been making headway lately as an interesting differing view of the discord between the Nazi's and the Jews... it is Tarantino's vision of what should have occurred...

He has even somehow managed to make a lovable Nazi character... interesting...





Tarantino is a bit of a genius...the film centers (so it seems) around a premiere of a Nazi propaganda film set to inspire the soldiers. The trailer for this film has actually been released (Viral Marketing at its finest!) and is garnering much hype (and discontent...):


Looking forward to finding some time to catch these...if you get 'em first shoot me a review in the comments!

WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFF is WRONG with kids today?!
No seriously. There is something SOCIALLY wrong here. VERY wrong. That poor child they attacked is scarred for life. It would be a miracle if he can have a normal rest of his childhood and adolescence and move onto healthy relationships as an adult. How did they even come up with something so horrendous to do to these people?! What could the victims have possibly done to deserve this torture?! How F'd up do you have to be to think of this atrocity and then exocute it? I just don't understand.

FIRST ASIAN TO WIN THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!


SOMEONE BEAT THE GREAT TIGER WOODS AT THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

That's some insanely happy news! Not that someone beat one of the few minorities in the golf arena, but that more Asians are making a name for themselves in the public arena. WOOH!


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

More sports news: You may have been following the Plaxico Burress legal drama. The man shot himself in the leg. The same leg that carried the rest of his athletic body to the touchdown zone to help the NY Giants win the Superbowl two years ago. And for his own stupidity, he gets TWENTY MONTHS IN JAIL!!! People have gotten off easier for more. LOTS of people are outraged at this heavy sentence. I'm also not so sure 20 months is the answer...

Take a look at THIS:

NOM NOM NOM

Can we get a few of these in the NYC Subway tunnels? Hahaha Seriously.

How many of you have heard Jay-Z's Run This Town (feat. Rihanna and Kanye West)?

How many of you have been waiting on a hard hitting video to go with it?

Apparently Germany and the UK didn't have to wait too long because it has already premiered over there while us silly Americans are still waiting. So, I bring this to you...a LINK...because I don't know how to rip rando vids from sites yet. Sorry. Until I figure it out, enjoy the link.

AND...for you travelers... We all know about the SUPER DUPER FAST bullet train in Shanghai that runs...ONLY in Shanghai. It's so expensive that locals generally don't use it to get themselves to the airport. Only gung-ho foreign travelers like me take it. The only reason the Chinese government keeps it running is to show everyone else their accomplishment. Well NOW there is one that is more practical and probably just as fast. This one takes you between SHANGHAI and BEIJING. Lots of business people and the ilk would find great use out of this one. This 220 mi/hr bullet train is the newest show-off project. Can't wait!
