Overall, the film was wonderfully over the top�even with a sorta bland delivery of a few good lines. Some of the action sequences were amazing (boat-chase, avalanche-swow-boarding) and wonderful and others seemed by the numbers (like the really pretty and loud Columbian Night sequence.) In some cases it was worth watching the movie just to see and hear some of the bands featured...Rammstein? Who woulda thunk that they'd end up in a major feature film (for those that don't know them they are kinda like Laibach but not so Nazi and industrial--more fast and loud. As IF that'll help anyone who doesn't listen to either. Big Dumb Grin.)

A couple of funny moments?

One: Your diarist (literally) has a standing invitation out (through various pals of DatDieselDude) to DaVin to whup his ass.

[Well, whup his ass at the game of his choice, or both of his current favorites�Tekken 4 and Soul Caliber�as DatSauceGuy is not into dying in other forms of ass-whuping�especially when they�d probably involve huge numbers of his own broken bones.]

Vin is supposedly a huge gamer. But lately favors shooters and fighting games�which DatSaucePerson o//Nz0rZ.

Somehow, YerSauce really wishes that they�d allowed a long-time-video-games-professional to help them pen the near-throwaway lines about videogames in the body of the film, though.

Two: There was a big-ass belly laugh when X and the lead evil-doer were quoting what one would think would be an obscure American-Harcore-Punk tune from �83�

As the guys that penned it (The Vandals) spent some time sleeping on your diarist�s floor (back in the day)�and more, your GoofBall-Sauce-Like-Cretin set fire to the lead vocalist�s (Stevo�s) frayed knees on his jeans the last time he saw them live. Ah, childhood.

Anyway, the tune was something called Anarchy Burger by Stevo and Joe (of The Vandals.)

Here are the two cogent verses:

anarchy burger

hold the government

anarchy burger

hold the government

you're all potential anarchy burgers

if you want to be free

order yourself an anarchy burger

(hold the government, please)

anarchy burger

hold the government

America stands for freedom

but if you think you're free

try walking into a deli

and urinating on the cheese

These guys were best at punk-rock polkas�and ONE might say that they started the MinorRage (very minor?) in that direction.

Expect a real update tonight. This was a wild and soon to be ingrown hair if it wasn�t freed ASAP.

PS. Especially to Jehsika. One: Are you calling me a cartoon? Two: Llama is long-time-gamer-speak (meaning Lamer as rhymes with Gamer...) and it is making it into the common parlance along with LEET SPEAK from about 10 years ago. Leet standing for Elite. And it is kinda like tagging and Graffiti in general as it originally was to keep those outside the know from understanding. Thus Hacker=h@x0|2 or whatever. FYI. Funnier is that most kids are using it these days in IM's...and thus it is going deeply out of vogue.

PPS.? DatSauceLikeHuman was recently expounding upon TEATS to a larger breasted woman (she brought it up, dammit!) about not being all that typically male in regard to breasts and not thinking that they were all-that-important. He noted that he prefered eyes. She blurted out a comment that had her red in the face immediately, "But you can't fuck eyes!" Dis human told her he begged to differ--as there was nothing better than holding someone's gaze while you took them to and well past the edge a few times. The funny part was that it was just conversational...nothing intended or implied. But her red-face got redder--and this time it appeared to be anything but embarrassment. [Still a Dolt.]
