“Internet? Inter-not!”
“freakzilla@scopenet.com”
Today’s link tells you a story of the internet and the World Wide Web. It seems ancient to dwell on it, but it’s best to know how you got to the place you are going. With iPhone 2.0, it’ll be a hell of a future, so let’s not forget the past. Let’s celebrate it with the creators of our future.

Recent Keyword Activity for March 2008
It’s always good for a post to check referers. I’ll just pick the recent ones and comment. Simple and effective. Plus then I start my own google bomb to get these to the top. Very self-referential and weird!

That’s it for today. There’s no naked Oksana Akinshina here! Look for Oksana Akinshina naked here!
School Rumble
Watching School Rumble reminds me of the NewsRadio quote, “Because I’m neither Japanese, 14 years old, or a girl.” Bill says this to Matthew thanking him for the Hello Kitty! school bag in his own acidic way. I am not Japanese, or 14 years, and I’m not a girl, but School Rumble is fun in a way that makes me feel like that. I’ve got the first two DVDs and am now eager to see the rest.
If my ramblings do convince you to watch it, catch a few episodes here.

Break-dancing Detergent
Need to get at least one last post to close out, NewsRadio Quote month.
I did watch plenty of NewsRadio episodes, especially from the final season. I saw the final episode which had Dave stuck with Matthew at WNYX and the rest of the gang off to New Hampshire with Jimmy James. Oh what adventures a season six would’ve brought. Unfortunately, it ended.
I wonder if they ever jumped the shark. Maybe, but you can’t make up for it when you lose the linchpin that was Bill McNeal. Sad. But life goes on.
NewsRadio. The best comedy of the nineties.
The Real Deal with Bill McNeal
I saw the trailer to this movie before 3:10 to Yuma. I turned to the Seed and said, “I’m conflicted. I really want to see Jessica Alba, but that Dane Cook gets on my nerves.”
And he does.
There’s been some speculation about why the trend in romantic comedies is to make the man a shlub and woman a hot girly-girl. It’s an interesting idea where the girl has to be hot but is reaching for someone low. What world is it that a shmoe like Dan Cook can get a hottie like Jessica Alba? Would it be a spoiler if I told you he wins her heart in the end?
Dan Cook lives a fantasy life where he gets to bed girls who’ll not want to cuddle. He’s the fuck that’ll get the girl to her true love. The girls have to kiss a frog before they find their prince.
Jessica Alba is the one, goofy and cute. She’s enough to make Dane Cook want to hop off the f-train and onto the r-train, a real relationship.
There’s some laugh out loud moments especially with grape fruits. It’s light like a candy bar snack, but it isn’t good for you. You’ll also experience regrets for choosing it. I wanted to watch this movie, because of Jessica Alba. After watching this movie (and Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer), I may not be so quick to buy a ticket to her next endeavor. If it’s got Dan Cook in it, I’m confident I won’t.
2 of 5 stars.
PS. Why does it seem as if Dane Cook’s face is composed of 1/3 above his nose, 1/3 below his upper lips and 1/3 of the space between his nose and lips? He’s got to be disproportionated in the face region there.
“God speed, fair wizard.”
Hotel Chevalier. Free download on iTunes. For all you Wes Anderson fans. Yes. You know who you are.
“Well, Dave… really, I appreciate your Dungeons and Dragons approach to office management, but I left my twelve-sided dice at home…”
D-War or Dragon Wars or whatever?!
Lookit, the stars have aligned and it seems my NewsRadio quote matches something I want to blog about. Hooray!
Anywhoo.
D-Wars is the movie that Uwe Bolle wants to make. Pretentious, but bad. Really. Really. Bad. I know that I say don’t follow what other reviewers are saying, but in this case I saw it and it is bad.
First, the actors. I don’t know who the actors are that inhabit the main characters, but I hope that they can still find some work in Tinseltown. If not, there’s always Vancouver. It’s not that they are terrible, but I assume the Korean language barrier made it difficult for them to know what was to be conveyed in a scene so they acted like they were baffled. Certainly seemed to be the case.
Another baffling things is continuity. I joke about Vancouver, but they leading lady was supposedly 19, almost 20, but her friend takes her to a bar to drown her sorrows. Is the drinking age 18 in Canada? Are they even in the US? Wasn’t this supposed to be taking place in LA?
The final showdown took place in Mordor. Suddenly everyone was there. How did they get there? Where is there? Hunh? And tell me, after vanquishing the evil dragon, how is the hero going to get back?
Too many questions.
At least the fight over LA was kind of neat. Kind of. Really.
1 of 5 stars.
