Since its 6:07 am and I still havn't gone to sleep I thought I'd do a top list. how about:
Top 10 bands I've played with, good or bad (taking into account more than their music and live show):
Dishonorable Mentions to, Backhand, Hey Presto, and espically The Bankwalkers who forever sealed my opinion on people who play music for money, however I do thank them hugely because without the Bankwalkers being such asses about the show that night, no Tents, and all the other Baton Rouge stuff may never have happened. Oh and a another one awarded to Abandond Pools just for being stupid rock stars.
Honorable Mentions to Eat a Bag of Dicks, cause they are the coolest guys around in this city, ever, they define what it is to be independant, also to the Huntingtons, simply for putting up with Mike and Brett constantly trying to catch them in the shower.
10. The Pendletones (CoolFest 2000) - I didn't really talk to anyone in the band, but their live show blew me away even if Jeff Zitzmann was screwing up the sound.
9. The Mike Willis Band - I wasn't too big a fan of their music, but they were really friendly guys, who stayed inside to see us play, and they showed me that even if theres no one in the crowd you can still have fun, not to mention the fact that Bucky James sang about penises and called them Lame Ass College Band.
8. Park Bench - If it weren't for this band I wouldn;t even be where I am tofay, never bought a guitar and who knows where it would have gone from there.
7. Good for Nothing Heroic - George and Joey are the 2 coolest dudes in this scene outside of Dana, Mike, and Deuce. They never had problems with other people or complained about anything and they take in what knowledge about the scene they can.
6. Cruiserweight - not only did these guys rock Cypress Hall out correctly, but they were very friendly the entire night and even offered to help us get shows in Texas if we were ever in town.
5. The Orange - Their live show was simply stunning, ever person had their parts worked out perfectly not to mention they were the nicest guys in the world.
4. Poly-Cotton Blend (post me)- The friendliest damn guys you'd ever meet. Probrably the only band I've met who doesn't rely on being cool, needing a fanbase, or needing shows, however it also slightly negatively affects their position on this list because of the lack of being able to see them play. Oh and I also took them down a slot because I still hate ryan's crappy guitar distortion.
3. Loyal Frisby - Some people like Dana would assume I have this unforseen love for Loyal, but simply put, the first time we saw these guys they rocked the house. and that was with their guitar player on drums. to be honest I was dissapointed the 2nd 2 times because it was more sloppy with all 4 and loud and then it was just 2 people and not the same after seeing the CD. They got highi on this list because they are super friendly and cause the first (only) time we played with them was the night Donna's car got broken into and Loyal and Pat instead of going in side where it was nice and warm came outside and hung out with us Robinsons while we waited for 3 hours for some cop to show up and let us know he couldn't do anything for us., oh yeah and they made fun of Emo
2. Rusty Spell - This dude is my idol, I mean he taught me World Literature, he's not supposed to know about all the music i like, let alone like my band, and then come open for us, 3 times, always lending me an opinion when I asked, and plus he's a really cool guy, not prejudiced or stuck in some kinda musical trend, just a guy and his instruments.
1. Jupiter Sunrise - 2 days in a row, I Didn't need to carry equipment for the shows though I helped, but the option was great, not to mention the kickball, their friendliness, and their great, great live show.

Go check out my earlier post if you missed it
Every once in a while I see something that cause me to go into a huge almost endless fit of laughter, usually causing tears and sometimes causing pain due to a lack or oxygen and breathing. ..... One of these just happened. and now that I've finally regained myself I will tell you all about the commercial I just saw for the Karma Chameleon singing phone.
I kid you not, its not only a stupid ass looking brightly green colored chameleon phone, but it also plays stupid Boy George's stupidly sucky karma chameleon song instead of ringing. not only that but like that stupid singing bass thing and just like that stupid singing christmas tree my dad has, the stupid chameleon sings along to the song. The ide for the phone could have only been concieved by someone with either the best sense of humor writing and a good ability to lie to boy George(explain later) or just another complete moron. Thats right Boy George is actually in the commercial helping advertise... I imagine the guy's gotta be close to broke now.
Why do I give the inventor of this idea so much credit and or stupidity ranking. The commercial was just like getting on the wrong side of a fight when things start to go the other guys way. I mean I firsts saw this chameleon singing the song, and I started to laugh, then I see someone take out a piece of his back and answer a phone and I laugh even hard. Then I hear the guy tell me the phone is playing a song that I know and loved all these years.... I laugh even harder..... then freaking Boy George himself in full makeup and stupid outfit says something really gay and stupid about the phone and I now can't stop laughing.... then they show all these people dancing and boping their heads to the phone and i'm just thinking.... pick up the damn phone people someones calling you!!!!.... then they show some kid litterally bouncing up and down on his bed but he's completely out of rhythm... then boy george comes on again and says something stupid again, then the phone comes up as one easy payment on $69.95........ by this point I've almosty died due to a lack of oxygen. I mean it's 2:42am and I simply wasn't prepared for something this horrible / funny. Now I'm wondering how pissed someone would be if you gave this too them as a present, and not only that how much hatred this person will feel for the song after having the phone for about a week, I mean the speaker in this thing can't be all that good, and even if so the song is annoying already, imagine only hearing it for 10 seconds and then it restarting and only playing 10 seconds.
I got my 2 free DVDs from Columbia House thanks to Deuce. I'm up right now typing a report cause i spent the last few hours watching Reservoir Dogs and all the extras, that movie os soo badass.... anyway, while i'm here i guess i'll make another anime top 10 list I'm going to continue on negative things so I can do all positive later.. Oh and I'm extending the lists to all cartoons now, of course I will exclude ones that don't fit the genre, but some people make decent cartoons in america worthy of anime ranks but aren't called anime.
Top 15 Stupidest Things I've ever seen in cartoons (story-wise).
15. Generic: Why do evil villians always seem to try and take over the world from a high school and in most cases using high school girls to get it done?
14. Every anime by Takahashi Rumiko is the same damn thing!!!!!! This lady has made numerous comic series that have become popular animes and I seriously think its all some kinda communist plot to take my sanity away and possibly even my cool little pillsbury dough boy. Every series may change the names around and swap a few minor details but I guarantee you that Ranma 1/2, Inu Yasha, Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku are all the same damn thing. They are all the same completely nonsensical completely not possible stopires of love that is only possible in dreams or better yet nightmares, I'll make a better note about that subject later.
13. Ranma 1/2 (School of anything goes Martial Arts): wow what a great name for nothing. Basicly it means he does what he wants. Then it makes me wonder, how exactly would this Martial Arts school even exist, you can't exactly teach anything whatsoever cause there is no form to learn, there are no techniques or ways to prepare, nothing can ever be written down, not to mention the fact that basicaly everyone in the world who has not chosen to fight a specific form of martial arts is by default a practicioner of anything goes martial arts. You what else, If anything goes, how many teachers or practicers of martial arts would take to kicking in the balls. I bet most of them would disagree, but would a teacher of Anything Goes. Not only that but shouldn't Ranma have the name of his form written on his shirt or pants or at least Gi somewhere, that says Anything Goes, kinda like most any other martial arts students do. not only that how well do you think this conversation goes. Ranma is entering a UFC match and is asked what style of fighting he does and he sais Anything Goes, and then they keep trying to give him rules and he's all like, well screw this I practice anything goes, none of this rules crap. Imagine the people he'd insult when he steals their techniques.
12. X-men 1992: There was a complete lack of nightcrawler, that was enough to piss me off and get into this list
11. Transformers: (The Constructacons origins.) Did Megatron create the constructacons, did they create Megatron, or did neither of those happen. All 3 storylines are used throughout the seires and its never been attempted to be explained. First Megatron builds the Constructacons to replica earths construction equipment. Later on Omega Supreme tells Optiums Prime that he and the Constructacons used to be friends back on Cybertron until one day they met... I repeat MET megatron and he turned them to their evil ways. Then later on theres another back sotry that shows the Constructacons building/inventing Megatron.
10. Street Fighter 2: the Movie (entire storyline) Can anyone even tell me where this storyline came from. By the way I'm talking about the anime not the Van Damm movie that was 10 times worse. The movie's (anime) storyline was not only completely not consistent with the games storyline but it showed blatant disreguard for some of the best things about it. Bison become superhuman not even being able to be opposed humanly. The hadouken practicaly became an entire lightning storm, T. Hawk was a bitch, They never even talked about any fighting tournament or matches of any sorts, in fact the only credits for the movie are that they potrayed Ryu and Ken's relationship correctly, but however forgot to mention Akuma, made Cammy look like some puppet instead of Bisons woman and I will also give a little credit because they made Zanghief look like suck he is.
9. X-men Evolution (character screw ups): I know sometimes changes are needed but seriously.... who the hell are all these mutants in the brotherhood. I mean I can accept some of this stuff but seriously they not only make up characters like crazy but they also screw things up like crazy. GAMBIT WORKS FOR MAGNETO!!!!!!! are you freaking insane. not just gambit, colossus too!!!!! oh yeah not to mention that all the mutants who hate each other, somehow manage to attend high school together. And if in original storylines Gamibit and Rouge eventually fall for each other and Colossus and Shadowcat do too, how are they gonna even attempt that one, hehe thats illegal, hehe. Maybe I'm just being picky.
8. Serial Experiments Lain (entirely too much depression): to be honest I think I would have liked this anime a lot better if it was just one, 5 minute episode that consisted of the main character going, I'm really really really really f'n depressed, and then killed herself. In fact for now on when people try to make depression anime series, it should be a comedy, where basicly each episode is the characters new plan to kill themself and they suck at it and keep messing up. Thats pretty sadisticly... funny of me but thats what this anime does to you.
7. Transformers (Optimus Primes death): not to mention that this caused the gay Rodimus Prime aka Hot Rod to become a main character, but how the hell could Optiums die. He's a freaking robot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember Megatron shooting him with ONE, I repeat ONE F'n shot and this kills Optimus, I also remember 5 previous seasons of Transformers with people always shooting at each other, maybe megatron's just never connected till now. Even then I don't remember him formatting Prime's memory. Not only that but Prime is eventually brought back to life like a season or 2 later.... wtf???? Do you talk TV???
6. Love Hina (The Dorm): Some stupid college aged kid who keeps failing his entrance exam gets a note from his aunt or grandma, some stupid relative that she wants him to come run her All girls dormitory cause shes leaving or dying or something. Brian would yell at me if he saw that last sentence cause he really likes this series. Anyway, seriously how is it legal for this to happen in any way. Not only that what kinda dormitory houses people of all ages, then the translation must be wrong and it must be an apartment right...??? well what apartment has girls only rules and also has the owner or whatever job this kid has... do all the cooking cleaning and has its own bathing SPA. yes I know bathing spa's are in japan and I understand an all girls dorm could have one but once again what kinda dorm has people from ages 10 to 25. Where are these kids' parents??? why aren't the older ones moving away, are they really running a whore house or something... hehe. I hope Brian sees this so I can hear all about it.
5. Ranma 1/2 (martial arts everything) you know now that i think about it someone should tell dave to come read this cause I'm making a lot of fun of his favorite anime and will continue to do so in this one and again in #1 or 2. Anyway... #5 consists of the fact that everything Ranma ever experiences in life, he manages to turn into a form of martial arts. I'm not kidding you, through the series you will see all of the following and more: martial arts ice skating, martial arts gymnastics, martial arts food delivery, martial arts cooking, martial arts camping, martial arts swimming, martial arts nose picking.... you think i'm kidding, I don't think I could make up stuff like this if I tried.
4. Inu Yasha (main plot driver) the entire plot of this anime from what I can tell is that Inu Yasha and Kagome are trying to collect shards of an ancient jewel from across the earth. Here are the two big stupid flaws: 1. the jewel (which is a sphere shaped thingy) is completely intact in the first and possibly 2nd episode. Kagome breaks it in one of those so pretty much the entire series stems from one persons stupidity. 2 !!!!! how far could the pieces of the thing have gone, I mean its not like the jewel crashed through the earths atmosphere, its not like they dropped the pieces out of a moving car or plane. Seriously did the jewel pieces fly away or something???
3. Tansformers (Sea Spray's stupid episode): HE'S A F'N ROBOT AND HE WANTS TO DATE AND WHAT NOT WITH A HUMAN I'm not even gonna mention that she was really a mermaid but dipped in a magic wishing pool to make herself into a human, instead I will stick to the bigger fact that HES A ROBOT AND SHES A HUMAN the lack of penis would probrably eventually make her dump him even if she said yes to dating. Even if he had a penis it would be larger than her entire body and made of metal. what did he think he was gonna do, talk to her until one day she dies and he only wasted 1/16th of his life. He was not only the most useless and annoying transformer but he had to go and do this too.
2. Ranma 1/2 (All the girls): Seriously how can 5-6+ girls all have the absolute biggest crush on the same guy. Not only that but 2 of them are engaged to him by meddling parents. Are they that stupid that they have to honor a promise that Ranma's dad "a profesional thief and liar" made. I mean Ranma is probrably one of the best fighters around in the anime but he's arrogant, stupid and annoying, why would any of the girls want him. Point #2 is... why does Ranma never just leave Kagome for any of the other girls, sure Shampoo was stupid/insane/stubborn, but the girl wanted to do anything for Ranma, anything, she would be at his beck and call. She was a little odd though... however Ukyo was completely normal, she was a good student a good cook, and a childhood friend, plus even Ranma said she looked cute so he had some sort of atteraction to her. Blah, oh yeah and I could have probrably said the same thing about a couple other animes, (see #14).... This one is such a big pet peeve that I'd make this one #1 on my list if the next one weren't so stupid....... speaking of which...
1. Dragon Ball / Dragon Ball Z /Dragon Ball GT (all the entire series'): while it is still one of the most recognized animes ever it has one of the stupidest historylines ever in the world. It started off so good but then got so dumb. It got to the point where episodes consisted of people standing around getting ready to fight, and the main character set can never stop getting more powerful its ridiculous. Characters constantly die and come back to life, and become the most powerful thing ever only to have someone else learn how to be more powerful like 9 times over itself. I never saw it myself but I hear that the way the whole thing ends is that the mythical Dragon tells Goku that he's lived too long and Goku finally dies permanently. But anyway if you ever need to show someone an example of Deus Ex Machina, show them the Dragon Ball series'.

I liked ryan's post from a while ago with the load of top 10 lists so I'm gonna make some and then rant about some stuff. All the lists for today's entry will deal with anime, or Japanese Animation.
For those who don't know what anime is, heres a short description. Japanese anime is a cartoon but chances are 10 to 1 that its gonna be a show for kids. For some reason the US has tightcast cartoons as childish, .. need proof, look at the Final Fantasy movie, it had alec baldwin, steve buschemi, james woods, and a bunch of other and it failed in america cause americans said... cartoon = for kiddies. Its a damn good movie but anyway, anime is usually either very comical, action packed, or entirely too serious. I tend to stay away from the depressive suicide serious ones but anyway, most animes will come in single runs. meaning they are 1 continuous story, usually 26 episodes long, with 26 being the climactic ending. sometimes years after the original series came out people will decide to make a sequel and its usually released on video or dvd only (in japan, nothing is released in US rarely) those are OAV or original anime video or something like that. sometimes with dragonball Z, pokemon, ranma etc etc they have multiple seasons cause they were running TV shows.
anyway here come a top 10 list.
top 10 quirks about animes that I find funny or odd
10. every main character will be one of the following 3 things. He's either the most powerful person ever but he no longer uses his power anymore and the whole time you are guessing how badass he could be. 2. he will be a badass but doesn't know it. a la the matrix kinda thing. or 3. he's/she's chasing a girl/guy the whole time and wacky hinjinks ensue and eventually after like a billion episodes the last episode they finally get together. there are a some animes that don;t follow this code and those are usually the bet er ones.
9. Complete lack of physics (girl power): Most cartoons do this, but none better than anime. I could go into the fighting animes but thats expected. I'm talking abuot random nonchalant animes where some girl gets mad at a guy cause he said something he shouldn't have so she'll do any of the following: pick up some object that weighs 8 times as much as her and she hits him with it, not to mention that he usualy not only lives from it but usually 2 seonds later never shows any sign that it happened to him or is even hurt.... or she hits him (usually punch or kick) and he goes airborn flying sometimes miles in distance.
8. Dramatic Pauses: in anime I think i've seen dramatic pauses that have almost gone minutes in our reality and in the anime itself the pause lasts hours in the timeline. whats funny is that the guys are usually thinking stuff while this happens and thats what makes up for the fact that people are just standing still but whats even more hilarious is when its 2 people in a fight and they stop to I guess size up the enemy and the monolouge comes from bystanders who have nothing to do with the battle.
7. Unexplained Telepathy: theres always some wise teacher or some crap who knows all and everything and always seems to know when their pupil is in a fight or that the biggest evil monster has been born. they are usually witches or wizards or wise men in most mythology but in some animes its just random people, like a girlfriend sensing the boyfriend is in battle some 80 billion miles away.
6. The Beautiful People: I don't think there is a single ugly or non good looking person at least as far as females go. I think every female in anime is perfectly fit, doesn;t have a flat chest and has some kind of sexy pose that they do at least twice unless they are a somewhat minor character in which case they just pose behind other characters.
5. Fan Services (unecessaary panty shots and such): This is the biggest phenomenon in anime if you ask me. I simply can't believe some of the stuff I've seen. I mean how many times can someone walk in on a girl in the shower, its not exactly a common occourence in life, i think the girls should stop showering anywhere in 6 miles radius to guys in anime, only then will they be safe. But my rant on this one doesn't stop here. Almoist all anime has some unecessary, shower scene, panty shot, or some form of nuidity. For example the movies Fatal Fury is a nice good movie I saw like 4 years ago, recently while trying to get wallpapers from animes I came across a site that said it had all the nudity shots from animes into still pictures. I was intrugied and went to the site, sure enough Fatal fury was on there and I figured it was from a 2 second showere scene that if you probrably slow down you can see a boobie. I was right but there were more shots on there that I couldn;t figure out where they were from. It turns out that when the female character Mai is in a fight scene, she apparently exposes herself numerous times. its like 1 frame or 1 tenth of a second in the movie so you never actually catch it but its there. and its not only obvious that her fighting suit is open but its obnixious. I mean theres a shot where she pulls a fighting fan out of her shirt and apparently when she does it she moves her shirt over just enough that it exposes a nipple for 1 tenth of a second. I do applaud the guys for making it realistic cause her outfit is riduculous (see #3) but is it necessary, can't the girl wear a bra under the outfit if shes gonna wear something this skimpy.
The other thing that makes these things odd to me is that they are put in the animes on purpose, thats how they became known as Fan services. this is purely sick on 2 levels, first that the artists are actually putting these animations in there even if it is just for a small fraction of a second. the other end is that people actually find these things. I couldn't imagine going through every anime I ever saw to examine for a nudity shot, and not only that but that some people actually watch certain animes for its complete lack of reality with numerous panty shots, nudity shots etc. not to mention that there is an entire genre of anime known as hentai which roughly translates (anime porn)
4. Old People: apparently when people become old they also become 3 feet tall, I still don't understand this one and i still find it funny that even some ancient warriors and witches who were once humongus beings of mas muscle or what not can shrick to 3 feet tall.
3. Complete Lack of Physics (Clothing): Seriously, how do some of these people get their outfits to even stay on. its not just the girls, the guys are just as bad. I'm not even going into the fact that almost any anime girl not in a fighting anime wears stupid school girl outfits, but I'm tlaking about everyday outfits, but this is usually more apparent in fighting or action animes. For example, in the anime Slayers, there is a character names Naga who I think has breasts larger than my head. she wears this outfit that not only tightly conforms to the breats but it only covers up the bottom half of them. She is involved in many fight scenes and such and all i'm wondering is how she and every other character like this goes through battle without the following 3 things happening. Their clothers falling off, being ripped up by weapons, or being a complete inconvienience cause the lack of a sport bra makes for a lot of bouncy bouncy or sometimes they happen to be weing almost nothing and happen to be in cold climates. and how do the other fighters not get distracted by this, in some animes they do, but sometimes they never notice they are figing a girl who is practicly in lingiere. not only that but seriously, If some girl with huge boobies wanted to fight me in an outfit like that, I think I honestly would try to rip her outfit, not for the nudity but because I doubt she'd still fight me if she lost her top, maybe not who knows.
2. Building up Power: Just watch Dragon Ball z and you know exactly what I'm talking about. some animes have people learning techniques for battle throughout and stuff but Dragon Ball and a few other things like when Street fighter V2 came out, have almost entire episodes that consits of someone just building up for an attack. I'm not joking i'm almost certain there is at least 1 entire episode of DBZ with just a build up and almost 50% of DBZ episodes are people building up power or sensing peoples power. the power is also quite ridicoulous amounts but if you believe in fantasy I guess you have to accept that there will aways be some kinda stupid amount of energy that a person emits that destroys sometimes even cities..... wish I could emit just a tiny little fireball, I always try but nothing ever happens..
1. Women's Breasts in Anime: All Boobies in anime no matter how large or small seem to be filled with a super bouncy, squishy gellatin. Seriously, I think so, I mean the smallest movement makes em bounce (in the Fatal Fury movie, theres a scene where Mai nods her head in a yes motion and as a result of all that movement here boobies bounce up and down), and the girls in anime are always wearing clothing that is too small for them and basicaly reminds you of St. Bernard except the boobies are much much much bigger, however, no matter how big they are it never seems to impede the girls balance nor do they get back problems from all the weight, probrably cause gellatin isn't too heavy or something. Oh yeah and who can forget those moments in some animes when a girl squeezes into a close spot and usually next to a guy, or a guy accidently falls and his hands go right on the boobies, and for some reason it always makes this weird squishy sound that sounds more like a dog's squeaky chew toy. I mean I'm not a woman and i've never squeezed em before so I have no validity to this but as far as I think I know, they don't make squeeky sounds.

Hehe yeah when she told me she can't sit through a whole movie if she doesn;t have anything to do I could have assumed trying to show her a movie would eb like that. Sounds like your having fun but you know whos having more fun, not me.
I'm in a dorm room outta cash and I havn't eaten dinner. My stupid group had to meet 2 hours before class meaning there was no possibly way to eat din din. This is the 3rd time this happened this week. I hate being broke. If you guys wanna have fun, take guesses on how much weight I'm gonna lose this summer. It looks liek its gonna be one of those semesters where I go through it scarce on the money, maybe I'll finally get a job, hehe.

Holy crap, I can't believe, I just saw what I did. In all my life I never thought IO could see a movie soooo funny, and thats not in a good way, it was supposed to be serious. I'll explain.
If you don't already know i'm kind of a martial arts movie buff, and more so I'm a big Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan fan as well as others, anyway to the point. About 5 or 6 months ago, (x-mas shopping time) I found this great STEAL of a bargain in I believe wal-marts DVD section. It was this Bruce Lee 4 DVD set for only 9 dollars. Now to be honest I basicaly bought the set because it has 2 movies in it known as The Big Boss and The Iron Hand, or as they were re-titled in the US (Fists of Fury and the Chinese Connection). The other 2 movies, which are the cause of this huge ass joke, rant, diary, etc were 2 movies I never even heard of. They were titled, The Legend of Bruce Lee, and Bruce Lee: A Dragon Story. Yrah so I figured it included a biography and also the movie that was made about him.
Boy was I wrong. You see I forgot that the GREAT, GREAT autobiography movie about his life was called "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story." What I was watching was apparently one of the first attempts at making some sort of biographic movie about Lee's life, however for those for you who won't understand what I'm about to talk about, here is a great and almost perfect analogy for this all.
Imagine if out of the blue, for no reason Mike and I got together and decided, you know what, we know a good bit about Weezer and Rivers Cuomo....lets make an autobiographical movie about him. Mike doesn't really resemble Rivers at all but since he's shorter than me, he's gonna play Rivers. I guess since I'm making this movie also I'll be Matt Sharp. Now instead of doing ANY research at all about Rivers, we just start filming, and in fact we just film what we know or hell what we don't know. We realize we don't know much so we just make up crap to fill in the important and or parts of his life that we couldn't possibly know without asking. In fact for his life when he starts the band we skip over Jason Cropper and all that indie garage band nonsense and we start the movie like this. Mike (Rivers) is walking down the street and he decideds, bands suck I'm gonna start the best band ever, cut to the next scene which is Weezer playing in some great gig rocking out and Matt sharp played by me is completely obnixous kicking stuff over, and before we even go on our first tour Rivers kicks me out of the band. Thats right he kicks Matt out before the band ever plays a tour. Then Rivers gets some girl pregnant she has babies and they live happily ever after.
That is about the equivilent of this movie. It not only is completely inaccurate about Lee's life but almost 70% of the movie is completely fictional, and by a lot. I mean its pretty bad when almost the last 50% of the movie focuses on some whore that Lee abandons his wife for. In fact she almost becomes the main character. Whats even better... BRUCE LEE NEVER HAD ANY AFFAIR ....EVER!!!!! The movie is completely out of chronological order, it makes up things that never happed and makes his wife look like a complete moron and like she never had anything to do with Lee whatsoever when in fact she was responsible for most of his 2nd half of his life, for instance hinspiration for his dojos movies etc etc. His wife I think might have maybe 10 lines in the whole movie and maybe only 4 scenes and very short ones at that.
I think all of you guys NEED to see this film... you thought Stupid Scary Movies like Redneck Zombies and Sleepy Hollow High were bad, trust me this movie is freaking 80 bllion times funnier to laugh at (not with) than any and all of the stupid scary movies put together. We should do this tommorrow night it will be a blast. I mean I'd love to talk on this thing about all the things wrong about this movie but it would simply be so much easier to do it while showing the movie to you.
Man this is killing me cause iots soo funny in a bad way. I mean they completely destroy Bruce Lee's life in this thing its soo horrible. I think I decided my favorite 3 things about it. 1. The affairs he has for most of the freaking movie that no one can ever account to. 2. how almost all of his life before moving back to hong kong basicly his being 7 until 23 are done in a matter of minutes. and my 3rd favorite part!!!! THE GUY PLAYING BRICE LEE HAS A FULL MOUSTACHE THE ENTIRE MOVIE!!!!! BRUCE LEE NEVER HAD A FULL MOUSTACHE, sure maybe he had one outside the movies but a lot of this movie has scenes where its supposed to mbe him filming the fight scenes to the movies. and not only does he have a freaking moustache but the fight scenes aren't even right, and I don;t mean they aren't exactly the sdame I mean ther guy playing Bruce Lee doesn;t even look like he's fighting, he swing his arms around like Dana trying to throw a baseball when he throws a punch.
ok I think I'm done now..... I'm gonna go watch the other movie, which oddly enough stars the same freak as Bruce Lee....... his name you ask... oh well its Bruce Li. No Joke.......
