Logan's Run Film Review

LOGAN's RUN FILM REVIEW:
                    It is the Future. People live inside of a small model city over top a crappy swimming pool. Inside the city it's pretty much a bigass shopping mall. Folks wear silly red and green and yellow costumes. When a light in their hand flashes and they've reached the age of 30, they have to put on a hockey mask and get blown up and killed by fireworks inside of a big lecture hall while everyone else watches and claps and cheers. For people who want to escape this fate, you have to go out some secret route to escape the city into the real world. This involves going through a love shop while a bunch of naked people clamour all over you and try to seduce you. Then you face people with crappy glowing spears and you have to convince them yr legit, then you have to run down all these submarine boiler room tunnels full of giant sized fish tanks. Then you have to go through these ice caves and face some goofy big slow robot that wants to kill you and preserve you for food. Then you crawl out of some cave hole into wooded lands and the ruins of Washington. There you'll find a crazy old man living with his many cats and cracking nuts with a nutcracker all day. That's pretty much as good as it gets, unless you decide to go all the way back from whence you came. Maybe your old friend will attack you and you'll accidentally kill him with the American flag. Maybe you'll sneak back into the city thru some water intake and then rant and rave like a lunatic as the whole city laughs at you and you are captured and interrogated by some icy bitch computer. If you pretend like you're taking a constipated shit hard enough and resist the computer well enough you'll short circuit it and the whole system- and the whole city will start to blow up and crumble. Everyone will scream and escape. Then, outside, they will see the crazy old nutcracking cat man and everyone will have a chance to gather 'round him and fondle his beard. THE END

Sports Illustrated gets SUPER IRRITATED!

So I was in the supermarket today, and saw this funny magazine cover:


So at first I was like, hey this is prolly something from MAD mag or whatnot. Then I flipped it over and realized what I saw was the back cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, the latest copy.
I was thinking, wow that's pretty cool that the folks at SI did that. Then when I checked 'er out on the web, & I realized it was actually a Snickers ad. I hate ads for the most part, but I gotta give it to Snickers for their witty bastard ads lately, including these TV spots featuring Danny Trejo and Steve Buscemi:

LADY FRANKENSTEIN FILM REVIEW





Haha…such a funny movie. Actually not always horribly schlocky and some interesting plot and brains behind it…some good delivery…but then there's a side to it that's just plain hilarious and dumb.

Dr. Frankenstein's monster is on the loose killing people and causing mayhem just like the old familiar tale. There are a few twists that differ in this sojourn though. For one thing, this monster seems to have the odd habit of attacking people in the middle of having sex.  Well, not EVERYONE, but a real tendency is there. The 'good' Dr. Frankenstein has been killed by this monster but his daughter and assistant remain and are trying to cover up the mess before people connect the dots..and the doctor's name is tarnished forever (not to mention any legal trouble too).

Frankenstein's daughter wants to have sex with with this retard goat herding boy who worked for her father, but he's too stupid for her liking (yet is handsome). She's in love with the intellect of her father's assistant, but he's crusty and old and she doesn't like his body. What's a girl to do?



Kill three birds with one stone. She plans to murder the retard, transplant the assistant's brain and heart into the retard, and then use this new boy-wonder perfect mind perfect body Frankenstein monster version 2.0 to battle head to head with the original monster and all will be made peachy.  Ha!

Oh, and there's a police inspector with a bad haircut and always wisecracking about things trying to get to the bottom of it all. He's very, very suspicious of everyone.

How To Remember Big Long Numbers Etc.

So here's a trick to remember a long string of numbers, for example a bank card number. Sometimes this skill is handy when you don't have the actual card with you (maybe you lost it) etc.



I've used a random number generator to create a 13 digit bank card number:
2419 820 181 411

 Step 1 is to take away the spaces, so :
2419820181411

This is because you want to be able to create new spaces at your own whim, wherever you feel you need to.

Next you tell a story. Start with the first 2 or three digits. You can use one digit or four or five, but 2 or 3 is a good choice. Now the 3 digit number '241' reminds me of nothing, but '24' reminds me of 24 hrs in a day, so we'll use that. Keep doing this sort of thing, using small bits of numbers that remind you of things, then create a story from it all. In this example this is the story I came up with, with the relevant numbers to be remembered in brackets:


For 24 hours straight ( 24 )
In January of '98 ( 1 [the first month], 98 )
It snowed 20 inches ( 20 )
We built a snowman between the goal posts ( 181 [the '8' is the snowman the '1's are goal posts] )
And called 411 to make sure the phones were working ( 411 [directory service] )

So the new spacing of the numbers is:
24 198 20 181 411
This is why we remove the original spacing arrangement.

It doesn't matter if your story is weird or doesn't make much sense, in fact it might be more memorable the weirder it is. Keeping an underlying theme helps (all this is tied together by some fictional winter event). Rhyming helps too ('straight' rhyming with ' '98' ie). Another thing that helps is using things based on real feelings or memories (the story can be fake but some elements real). Talking about something you totally don't relate to or care about means you're more likely to forget.


So there it is, a trick for remembering long numbers! You can use this trick for other things too, like with words or instructions or directions, you just make adjustments accordingly.

Napoleon Hill Bathroom Stall Quote





I once went into a bathroom stall and saw someone took the trouble to write out this ENTIRE Napoleon Hill quote:

First. 
I know that I have the ability to
achieve the object of my Definite
Purpose in life, therefore,
I DEMAND of myself persistent, continuous action
 toward its attainment, and I here and now
promise to render such action.
Second.
I realize the dominating thoughts of my 
mind will eventually reproduce themselves in
outward, physical action, and gradually
transform themselves into physical reality,
therefore, I concentrate my thoughts for
thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking
of the person I intend to become,
 thereby creating in my mind a clear mental 
picture of that person.
Third. 
I know through the principle
of auto-suggestion, any desire 
that I persistently hold in my
mind will eventually seek expression through some
practical means of attaining the object back
of it, therefore, I devote ten minutes daily to 
demanding of myself the development of 
SELF-CONFIDENCE.
Fourth. 
I have clearly written down a description of
my DEFINITE CHIEF AIM in life, and I will
never stop trying, until I shall have developed 
sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.
Fifth. 
I fully realize that no wealth or position can
long endure, unless built
upon truth and justice,
therefore, I engage in no transaction 
which does not benefit all
whom it affects. I succeed by attracting to 
myself the forces I wish to use,
and the cooperation of other
people. I induce others to serve me,
because of my willingness to serve
others. I eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy,
selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love 
for all humanity, because I know that a negative
attitude toward others can never bring me success.
 I cause others to believe in me, because I
believe in them, and in myself.
I sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory,
 and repeat it aloud twice a day, with full
FAITH that it is continually
influencing my THOUGHTS and 
ACTIONS affirming that I am a self-
reliant, and successful Leader.

Terry Popik's Eye Poppin' Art

So it's been a little while since blogging, but I just had to let you folks out there know about a wicked artist I know. His name is Terry Popik and he lives in the Big 416, Onterrible (that's Toronto, Ontario for the rest of you). T-Pop, as he likes to be known by amongst his gangster friends (just kidding)-works in different mediums of art, 3d as well as 2d! He is often seen at the foot of the C.N. Tower, trying to push it over with his magic pinky finger (just kidding again). He's not just a great artist, but an interesting and helpful bloke as well. 
His site is at terrypopik.blogspot.com    So go there- or be cursed to die a horrible death.

I look forward to seeing more of his works in the future! Here are just a few samples I took a liking to at a glance:

Adventure Time is a great show and you should watch it if you have not yet..

Amazing!

For some reason this chap reminds me a lot of John Constantine.. (of Hellblazer comix fame...not Keanu Reeves in the crappy movie that could have done the comix way more justice.)

"Hey man, which way is Webster Hall?"

This is a portrait Terry did of me. Seriously, I'm a dog. I type with my paws. A blog-dog. No more doggin', I'm dog bloggin'.Wait, don't you believe me!?

Toonces, is that you?

This pet will never forget, may act like a pussy, might bring you babies and more...

That's one sly gator!

Just imagine being under Goosezilla when it shits?

Well, looks like whoever made that obnoxious 'Hippo for Christmas' song got their wish.

Another reason not to become a gabbage truck driver..

CUTE !

Hustlin' hard.

Gents...do YOUR girlfriends have fashion as cool as this?

Another thing to watch for next time you buy an overcoat.

Proto stage Overcoat Man...

Hey, even radioactive space rats get lactose intolerance, dont'cha know?

This is pretty damn good for a 'speed painting'. This would take me like 20 years to do.

Shullduggery and shadows, beauties & battles
