Time To Sing For My Supper.....

So first things first. It takes a big man to own up to his mistakes. People, I made one a few months ago when I asked for Heath Ledger's head on a platter when I found out he was going to be The Joker in "The Dark Knight". After seeing the trailer before I Am Legend, I have to say....

I'M SORRY.

I was wrong. So far, from what I have seen he totally kicks fucking ass. I mean I may be proven right when it opens next summer, but as of right now I think that he may do a good ass job as the clown prince of crime. Oh, that movie will rock your fucking face. Looks like it will be The Dark Knight, then Iron Man in terms of awesomeness.

So "I Am Legend" wasnt that bad. It was actually very good, albeit about 20 minutes too short. The mutants looked like white 50 Cent's (nice to see him back in movies after King Kong didnt do so well) which means they were FUCKING SCARY. Not only that, Will Smith actually acted. A little, not too much. That aint Big Willie Style. Either way, best movie of the holiday season not starring a jaw-breaking polar bear.

Lastly, I was excited about Speed Racer until I saw this:

I mean it has Bi and he is hella hawt but....is it just me or did it look like it was made by someone that graduated from an online art institute (Westwood, you just got SERVED!)? I dont know, maybe that was just pre-production work to get a trailer out (The Dark Knight clips in the trailer are pre-production and I came twice) but it looks kind of campy. Not in the good way, either. Maybe Bi will have a dance montage to "I'm Coming" because that could save any movie. Even "The Passion".

No, not really. Movie Jesus didnt have funky fresh dance moves. Excuse me, I am going to watch Southland Tales. The Rock + Singing = count me in!

2007....The Year So Much Music Died.

What is up, bitches?! Three posts in a week is the most I have had in a long ass time, I must say. But I forgot to post something from the other day and know is as good as any.

As you all know…Ike Turner passed away on Wednesday of this week. Now I for one was saddened because we lost not only one of the world’s greatest musical talents, we lost one of the most skilled beaters in the history of the world. Ike turned smacking a woman for talking a bit too much into an art. Much like the art and porn debate, there is a thin line between abuse and letting a woman know you don’t need no help. Ike created and proceeded to beat that line with a boot. Then write a hit song for said line. Then beat that line again for not singing it right. Needless to say, Ike was a legend behind the guitar and breaking his foot off in Tina’s behind. His work on guitar and production behind Tina will always be remembered by me with such great hits as “Proud Mary”:


And the timeless rendition of “Get Back”:


Not only did Ike achieve success with hits with Tina, he had a good solo career. He capped it off with a Grammy earlier this year. Even his parodies were awesome. David Alan Grier perhaps made me laugh the hardest I ever laughed with “Ike Strikes Back”. I know I joke about domestic violence but I know it is wrong. What Ike did to Tina was horrible but he tried his best to make amends (except for the “I hit her, but I didn’t hit her with no boot!” line. Why, Ike? Why?) and in the end I believe that Ike understood the joke he because and knew that all he could do was accept his faults and do what he did best: make good music. With both Pimp C and Ike Turner dying this has been a rough few weeks musically for everyone. To pay respect…here is “I Miss My Homies” by Master P, Silkk Tha Shocker and Pimp-C himself.


Why Pimp C and Ike?! R. Kelly is peeing on someone RIGHT NOW and alive. Proof there is no god. *SIGH* Well, I will remember the good times.
