Station Stories - WTF?!?

Some lady calls and asks what kind of music we play, I tell her, "tejano, cumbia, and other Latino music." I guess she was expecting a top 40 station because she giggles says, "that's terrible, oh well good bye." and hangs up. What the hell? I can understand her not wanting to listen to this station, believe me, I understand, but she could have just asked for station recommendation, 'cause I would have directed her to our sister station. I'm not offended or anything, I just think she could have stood to be a bit more tactful.

60 Second Movie Review - Alvin and the Chipmunks

I did not expect the movie to be as good as it was. Excellent way to kill an hour and a half. One thing I didn't like was Dave's ALLLLVIN! Jason Lee is great as Dave, but his Alvin scream just doesn't cut it.

I Give It:

4.5 STARS

Worth the ticket price.

60 Second Movie Review - Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem

OMFG WTF!!!

This movie kicked ass left and right. Upping the rating to R made a difference, it would have sucked if it were watered down to PG-13.

Best Stuff, No Spoilers:
New Predator Gadgets.
Possible Predator Home World.
New "Chest" Bursters.

I Give It:

5 STARS

This movie was worth having to sit through "Citizen Soldier" for the ten thousandth time.

120 Second Moviegoing Rant - Citizen Soldier

I have nothing but respect for members of the armed forces, but if I have to sit through that f#&^ing music video again I'm going to scream!

I always knew that 3 doors Down would sell out, but I didn't see this coming.

God Bless America.

60 Second Movie Review - National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Critics keep calling this "The Da Vinci Code Lite", and what's wrong with that? I loved this movie, you will too. You might also learn something, I did, I had no idea that there are two replicas of the Statue of Liberty in Paris. I personally want Riley to get his own movie, "Do you know what the taxes on 5 million dollars are, SIX million dollars!"

60 Second Movie Review - I Am Legend

The Last Man on Earth and The Omega Man have nothing on this movie. Never before have I seen the mind numbing madness of being the last man on Earth so well communicated as in this movie.

~Spoiler, Highlight To Read~Few things in film have given me the chills like watching Neville having to put his dog down.

I Give It:

5 Stars

Good advice I wish I could remember.

I apparently gave some good advice to some guy years ago. He thanked me today. No idea who he was, even worse, I don't know what I told him.

60 Second Movie Review - The Golden Compass

Point the first: The christian groups blasting this movie for its "pro-athiset" themes, are nuts. even more so than usual.

Seriously, I walked in 5, maybe 10 minutes after watching Hitman.

Great fun for the whole family. A must see this Thanksgiving weekend.

60 Second Movie Review - Hitman

Solid movie, dragged in places but held together well. Wish we could've seen more of 47's childhood.

4 STARS

Nearly Had A Heart Attack Last Night.

This building is going to hell, let me set the scene for you. It's late, I'm tired, and it's pitch black in most of the station. I'm locking up for the night after the Eagles were narrowly defeated by the Warriors, and I hear two loud thumps/crashes from inside the station. Now, I'm content to go home and let the burglar take what he wants, so I lock the door and dead bolt, but I forgot the padlock inside and I can't leave the gate open.

I head out to the car and call my old man, I ask if he'll swing by and back me up but he says no, jerk. So I grab the car's Club, you know that thing that locks the steering wheel, to wield as, well, a club. I go back in the building and do a room by room search until I come to the men's room. I hit the lights and find the culprit!

The friggin' wall mirror!

The thing had been hung on a tiny finishing nail and finally fell, hitting the sink, the first thump/crash, then the ajar door, the second thump/crash. Miraculously it didn't break, although I was tempted to smash the damn thing myself for the grief it had caused me.

60 Second Movie Review - Beowulf

Blasphemers! This film was heavilly edited. I could tell. How does a film with a red-band trailer get a pg-13 rating? Even with the film's editorial handicaps, it kicked so much ass, a must see movie.

I give it

4.5 stars.

In 3 months, after I watch the unrated director's cut, it might earn that last half a star

120 Second Moviegoing Rant - Soda Fountains Down

Like the title says and the picture shows, the fountains at the Cinemark in Eagle Pass were down this Saturday and they had to pour the drinks one 12 oz can at a time. I'm not mad, these things happen, but I hope they fix this by next week.

Super-Awesome-Kick-Ass movie #1. Chilling, brutal, viscera-clenching action.

60 Second Movie Review - We Own The Night

Great film, a period crime/police drama the likes of which I've never seen. Defiantly recommended viewing. I'm not so ticked off that they pushed Hitman back to November, if they hadn't, I would have skipped this one.

I give it:

4.5 STARS

Bonus: Eva Mendes nipple in the first five (5) minutes.

120 Second Moviegoing Rant - Understaffed

The Cinemark theater in Eagle Pass, TX is severely understaffed. I've been facing longer and longer lines for tickets and snacks these days, and it's because there aren't enough employees to go around. Job searchers in Eagle Pass:

APPLY FOR A JOB AT CINEMARK SO I DON'T HAVE TO MISS MY TRAILERS STANDING IN LINE FOR A FREAKING DIET COKE AND POPCORN!

60 Second Movie Review - D-War

I dragged myself to the theater, literally, I had wrenched my right ankle in my sleep, had to hobble there on a cane, and finally saw it, kinda disappointed.

A little too much exposition, plenty of action, but not nearly enough dragon vs. dragon action for me.

I give it my first sub-4 Star rating.

3.5 Stars

60 second movie review - Resident Evil: Extinction

Kick ass movie, heads up, ends with another awesome cliff-hanger, here's looking forward to "Resident Evil: Vengeance"*. Also the guy playing Wesker is tolerable, but he looks like Joaquin Phoenix, they really should have gotten Robert Patrick the T-1000, tell me he wouldn't be the perfect Wesker. Interesting side note, Patrick was in Walk the Line with Joaquin Phoenix, playing Johnny Cash's father.

I give it:

4 Stars

*I don't have any proof of another movie but I'd go see it. Also, not the best title, I know, if you have a better one leave a comment.

I Give It:

FIVE STARS!

Coming Soon - Death Ringtone from "One Missed Call"

Saw the trailer for One Missed Call last night before Halloween, when I heard it I said to myself I must have it. Just putting the final engineering touches on it.

Just remembered I don't have anywhere to host the files.

Sorry.

60 Second Movie Review - Halloween (2007)

So, effin' awesome.

Fleshes out Michael Myers' early years then moves on to his time in the sanitarium followed by his escape and 2nd Halloween massacre. Mostly new kills with a couple of my favorites from the original, with the brutality cranked up of course. I guarantee you will love the ending if like the way a horror movie should end.

I give it:

Shaking My Monkey Tree

The people in this town are savages. I was out last night taking advantage of the tax free weekend by buying some new pants. I leave my cart for five minutes to try them on, and when I come back, my friggin' cart was gone. Whoever took it, emptied it out and took my cart. What the hell? This person couldn't be bothered to get a cart from the front of the store? Which, I add, was like fifty yards away. The world is in a truly sad state when you can't leave your shopping cart for five minutes to try on some pants.

I guess you could say they caught me with my pants around my ankles.

60 Second Movie Review - Superbad

I know this now a cliche, but Superbad was super good.

If any film sums up modern high school life it's this one. People have called it "this generation's Animal House" and I agree.

I give it:


Five Stars

HAIL McLovin!

60 Second Movie Review - The Bourne Ultimatum

I'm going to be comletely honest, I did not watch the first two Bourne films in their entirety, even still this movie kicked ass. You really don't have to see the first two, but I'd reccomend it. It saddens me that this was the last one, that was not a spoiler, I don't spoil, it's just that there's no more story to tell here. They should end on a high note and leave it at that.

Slusho Make Me Look Cool

Got my Slusho shirt Saturday, Asphalt Grey XXL, and yes it came with the strange Japanese newspaper.

See if you can make any sense out of http://www.jal.co.jp/happiness/.

1-18-08 Uber Theory

Theory!

Noriko Yoshida, the "Slusho Lady" disappeared at sea looking for the next big ingredient for Slusho.

Her son, a scientist, made a new deep sea discovery. He had a prophetic dream leading him to use the ingredient in Slusho.

Slusho.jp is not in English, but in Engrish, Engrish refers to grammatically incorrect variations of English, often found in East Asian countries.

"Slusho is people." might mean "Slusho is made from living creatures."

When making Slusho in the flavors section on Slusho.jp, the flavors you add are followed by a glowing lotus.

Maybe the monster's food.

No! The secret ingredient is not the monster or it's food, it's the monster's children!!!

If strange creatures were stealing my food, I'd find another source, or kill the thieves.

What would make me leave the sea, my home, and go on a rampage? If they were stealing my babies and eating them, that's what.

The guy from 1-18-08news.com said anyone who drank Slusho was a target for the monster, this is why, it can sense its children's remains in their bowels.

Note: this was originally a response to a post on someone else's' blog, but it was so good, I put it on my blog instead.

Theory About Dates

Card & Casino GBA Games for $10

Stopped in at the Wal-Mart Super Center in Eagle Pass and picked up World Poker Tour from 2K Sports for just $5. They've also got a couple others, like Texas Hold'em Poker and Golden Nugget Casino. Everyone's handheld collection need a poker/casino game. Plus, they'd make for great stocking stuffers.

120 Second Moviegoing Rant - Cell phones

People please, turn off you goddamn cell phone in the theater. You paid to watch the movie, so sit down, shut up, and watch the damn movie. Who do you think you are? How effin' important do you think you are that you have to be able to be reached at any moment. If you're expecting a call, either don't see the movie or quietly answer phone, with the the ringer off, and take it outside damn it. If I see one more person on their phone during the movie, I will shove it so far up their ass that they'll need a proctologist to dial for them.

60 Movie Review - The Simpsons Movie

Go see this movie now, I mean it! I've waited nearly twenty (20) years to see this movie, and it was worth it. It plays like one long episode of the series, but there's nothing wrong with that. Plus, it has all of our favorite characters, including my fave, Crazy Cat Tossing Lady.

I give it *****.

This is my first 5 Star review, but hopefully not my last.

First Post on the Subject

I have given in to the "Cloverfield" mania and now have the HD trailer here on my blog.

60 Second Movie Review - Hairspray

Saw Hairspray, so awesome! Great music, great choreography, and great acting. I've been waiting to see Christopher Walken dance again since 2001's weapon of choice, and who wouldn't want to see John Travolta as a singing, dancing, plus sized woman?. Plus this new girl Nikki Blonsky is going places. All in all a great movie, a great musical, and most of all a great time.

I give it ****1/2.

120 Second Moviegoing Rant - Hairspray

Saw Hairspray today, 'rents if your kiddies loved High School Musical, keep them the hell away from the theater. I was lucky enough to have the bare minimum of little kids at the screening I went to, it was mostly older movie goers like myself and teenagers, but there was the obligatory couple who refused to shell out for a sitter and dragged their kids, who didn't want to go, along. If they aren't going to sit still and watch the movie, then leave the twerps at home.

60 Second Movie Review - Harry Potter: And The Order of the Phoenix

A solid film, dragged in parts and omitted
scenes/details like Fred & Georges changes to one of
the hallways and the entire St. Mungos scene, but I'm
really just nit picking. Overall, a very good movie. I give
it ****.

Station Went Quiet Today

Engineers came today. Bout damn time, they had to
dismantle the AM transmiter so I was off the air for a
while. Everythings cool now, check in with you all
again tomorrow.

There's No Way the Power Could Go Ou...

It happened about an hour ago, and let me tell you, it was scary as hell. There are only a few windows and even went the shades are open they let in very little light, but today I just had to close the damn things. When the lights went out I couldn't see a thing, but then I used my cell's screen to light my way to the MAG-LITE they keep here. I hung out for a few minutes and waited for the power to come back on. When it did, I rebooted all the computers, got the play lists back on schedule, and went out back to the transmitter shack so I could check it. It was kind of a feather ruffling day but every thing's copacetic again.

In other news, the universe is against me. The last 10 point code I needed to have 777 points was illegible. Then again, I did get my free 20oz Coke coupon in the mail today, so I guess I'll let it slide.

Noon to Six 4 Day Marathon

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday...

Filling in for one of the other DJs while he fills in for our news director, but who's gonna fill in for me? My couch isn't going to sit on itself, and my TV isn't going to watch itself. Whatever, all these extra hours mean a fat check come the 20th.

'Nother Long Day...

Working the Noon to Six, then I've got a two hour remote @ 7:30.

On the brite side, tomorrow, 7/7/07, I'll have 777 mycokerewards points.

Better Days @ Work are Ahead

The computer is working again, good thing too. I almost had to spend my 4th of July manually running local commercials for twelve (12) hours.

Happy 4th of July Everyone!

Hope you all have a happy and safe 4th.

Drinking, driving, and fireworks. They're fine on their own, but let's keep them that way. Don't mix them.

If you are going to use fireworks, have friggin' common sense, be careful with them, don't fire them at people or animals, and have a fire extinguisher/hose/bucket of water on hand just in case.

Once again, happy 4th of July, and God bless America.

Feel good film of 2007, a must see. Brad Bird is a
