Wow, it IS a fruity little club.

Man, who saw the season premiere of South Park last night? You know, I was beginning to think that South Park had grown stale. Now that they have a nemesis in Tom Cruise and his fruity little club, maybe they can go back to season 7 caliber shows. Speaking of last nights episode.....whoa. I didn't think pedophilia could be humorous until last night. Sex with children = funny. The Catholics knew it, R. Kelly knew it, now we know it. That may have been the funniest episode of South Park since the 'Fun With Weapons' episode.

I thought it was actually kind of cool that for the first time in a while, Matt and Trey didn't go all out and rip on someone. They didn't blame Chef (Issac Hayes) for leaving the show, they blamed the Super Adventure Club (Scientology) for frying his brain. In order to believe the story of Xemu, your brain would have to be fried or in a constant state of inebriation. Good job taking on Scientology, guys. Along with every other religion. That being said, I'm gonna miss you guys because Tom Cruise is SO gonna sue you in England again.

So, I am rather pissed that no theater outside of the hellhole that is New York City is playing Thank You For Smoking. I have heard great stuff about it, and I am all about smoking anyway. As a heavy dude, I make no excuses for my weight and don't need warning labels on food. I know that Chic-Fil-A is deadly (but oh so tasty), so how come we need warnings on cigarettes? If you honestly need a warning label on something that YOU BURN AND INHALE TO USE than you my friend are a goddamned idiot. Both of my parents smoked and I have a good friend that smoked and I don't THINK (gotta ask and make sure) that they blame 'big tobacco' for their smoking. Like my mom said, 'Boy, I smoke because you break shit.'

A simpler way I look at it is this: you come out of the womb and it is a reaction of your body to need nourishment. How you acquire it and what you eat are the issue. No baby cries because they are having a fucking nic-fit. If they do, then wow that is bloody awesome. Simply, smoking is a choice. Yes, people bitch about second hand smoke being forced on them but people will take medicines that cause nasal bleeding and loss of bowel and bladder control. Ignorance, it is spreading. Besides, aren't smokers forced to go outside in BFE anyway? Quit your bitching, non-smokers. The Revolution is with you, smokers!

Anyway, I got two tickets for the free showing of Thank You for Smoking in Denver on March 29th. Here is the link. Seats are limited and except for Tom Cruise's baby hole being in it, the movie should rule.

So, I may have just seen the worst movie ever made. I just found the live action movie version of the old school anime Cutey Honey and.....all I can say is

O_o

It was ALL THE WAY BAD. Not gonna lie, the woman that played Honey wasn't too shabby and Nat-chan had a 'saucy librarian' touch to her. Aside from that, it was like a Power Ranger movie minus the giant robots. That is NOT a good thing, peeps. It's odd because Go Nagai (I think of him like the Anime version of Stan Lee, a god among men. The dude did Manzinger and Devilman) I also picked up Re: Cutey Honey, which I was a series of OVA's that followed after the first one ended in 1974 I think.

Three episodes of ecchi and nonsense. Best thing about this is that Kumi Koda sings the remakes opening and closing themes. And I loves me some Kumi Koda. You know that groan that the old man does when he thinks about Chris on Family Guy? I do that when I think of Kumi Koda. I got some popsicles in my basement....I prefer the original:

Old school, fool! Even though the 70's gave us such crap as the DiFranco's and Fat Elvis you gotta admit that that was pretty bad ass. Well, I got some things to attend to. I have an idea for tomorrow's post. Until then, stay up peeps.

Chachi Flash!

Update: Okay, maybe this movie isnt as bad as I thought. Singing in a movie is a definite upgrade and Natsuko has grown on me. And Go Nagai and Kumi Koda make cameos, fool!

I seem to have misplaced my pants.

First off, those of you that drink tequila: you suck. Second off, what is with the lime and salt crap? The burn isn't all that bad. Yesterday, I went around the town for a birthday party and had a 'few' drinks for his birthday. A few being double digits, I think. Seeing as aside from some sake a week ago I had not drank since December (not gonna lie, the last day at the Pack I was LOADED) it was a shock to go all out. No effects that night, and no hangover. All in all, a good sign. But drinking is bad so never again.

So, what is up peeps? Not much here. Not sure why it is still snowing but I guess I have to come to grips with the fact that mother nature is a bitch. There isn't really much on the news front so far, and I'm not bummed out like I was yesterday (those who know me know why) so there won't be a rant unless something hits me in the next 5 minutes. However, I did read about Microsoft Vista and it's delays. Well DUUUUUUUUUH. The last time Microsoft rushed out an operating system was Millenium Edition. And those of you that have it on your computer right now odds are are locked up. The only thing it can do is go uphill from here.

Man, I am SO close to modding my PS2 so I can play Dirge of Cerberus because it looks BAD ASS. Yet, the reviews from the Japanese gamers has been lackluster. Hmm...decisions. Also, just got confimation of the shipment of the new Heartsdales album. You know, YesAsia has some awkward ass pricing. Some cds are 30 bucks, some are 10. For the SAME CD. My copy of Bennie K (which was stolen a while back, so someone is getting down to Puppy Love and dare I say I'm still pissed) was a Korean version and I paid 11 bucks for it. Played fine, but when I went to buy a new copy it was $27.99 and to that I say the nay-no. Love j-pop music, hate j-pop prices. Speaking of the Heartsdales, if anyone knows what CD this song is on, let me know. It wasn't on M-Flo's or any Heartsdales songs I have.

That song reminds me of Morris Day and the Time. Matter of fact, time to kick it. 80's Jersey style.

Too bad Prince stole a lot of Morris Day's thunder. Morris and Jerome would have been a kick-ass reality show. Why in the hell haven't I ponied up the cash for the Clerks cartoon series? That show kicked ass! All...two episodes. Now take off your shirt.

Man, I may have to run and grab that. Well, I got some crap to do today. Stay up peeps, I may drop some knowledge on ya'll later in one of my few double dips. Until then, its time to outsouce the last few lines to Korean writes and animators. Until next time...

BIG AMERICAN PARTY!

CHACHI SAY YOU CAN'T HANDLE TRUTH! SHOW ME THE MONEY!

CHACHI BYE BYE!!

Viva la revolution, fools!

Time to get political. First off, this Penny Arcade comic pretty much sums it up. You know, as a gamer I am really against legislation and banning of games targeted for adults. I believe the job falls on the retailers and the parents to police what their children play. I'm sorry as but hard as being a parent is, parents need to understand that monitoring your children is YOUR job. Not the government, not Best Buy, and sure as hell not Rockstar. Stopping Rockstar from making games with violence isn't going to make children any less violent. It's just censorship, people. Besides, most violent video games are rarely purchased anyway due to quality. For every Grand Theft Auto, there is a 187: Ride or Die. Any kid that will buy attempt to buy a game solely because it has violence is not being parented or not that intelligent. To paraphrase Ron White, there is no fix for stupid.

Secondly, over the last two years I have purchased 11 games with MA ratings:

MGS3
Halo 2
Black
God of War
Resident Evil 4 (twice, one for GC and one for PS2)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
MGS3: SE
Dead or Alive:SE
Gun
Rumble Roses O_o (Yeah, I bought it. And I am ashamed)

You know how many times I have been asked for my ID? Nine. Seriously. The only two times I wasn't asked was for MGS3: because it was a trade in for Gun (and I know the guy at GameStop) and Rumble Roses (probably because I disgusted the cashier and she wanted me out of her sight). So it was actually 10 out of 11. Those are great odds. So I can personally run under the assumption that retailers are asking for ID when games for players over the age of 17 are being purchased. With that being said, someone is buying these games for the children that politicians and game activists are trying to 'save'. So why isn't the issue with them? Because I am going to assume that the majority of parents actually buy these games for their children and don't really investigate what the games are about. Here is a REAL dialogue between a kid and their mother when I went to GameStop to get MGS3 on Sunday:

Kid (I am going to gauge about 11 because he had a Naruto shirt on): Oh! Mom, can I get this game?
Mother: Um...can your sister play it?
Kid: Yeah, it's co-op or multi-player!
Mother: What is co-op?
Kid: Um...
Me: 'Cooperatve Play' is the easiest way to look at it.
Kid: Yeah! We can play at the same time! Right?
Me: Yep.
Mom: Oh, okay. (At this point, a girl I will put at about 6 years old runs to her with a Animal Crossing: Wild World game for the DS)
Girl: I want this one. It looks cute.
Mother: Okay. In a second. (At this point I am having a discussion about Shadow Hearts vs. Grandia III with the clerk) Son, which game did you want?
Kid: 25 to Life, mom! (The clerk and I stop our conversation, make eye contact, and look toward the mother)
Mother: X-Box or Playstation 2? (At this point, I do the indignant hands on my hips pose like my mother did when I asked her a stupid question)
Kid: Playstation 2, mom!
Mother: Ok. (To the clerk) Let me get 25 to Life and this Animal Cross thingie. (At this point I had the gut check of whether or not to say something. I decided to give her the whatfor)
Me: Um...I don't think that game is appropriate for an 11 and 8 year old.
Girl: I'm six. (awkward pause) You like Animal Crossing?
Me: Yeah, I had it for the Gamecube. I liked it.
Girl: Wow! Thanks! (She flips through the strategy guides)
Me: Miss....say the title.
Mother: What?
Me: The title of the game. Say it again.
Mother: What, you mean '25 to Life'? (I look at her)
Me: 25 TO LIFE? (She looks at me like I'm nuts) Look at the box.
Mother: (Looking at the box) Whoa...does this M mean Mature?
Me: Yes. It's rather violent. And the game itself isn't very good. (I finish my purchase)
Mother: Oh...okay. (At this point I leave)

Now this is not a dramatization. The events were real. Needless to say, based of this discussion, I am willing to wager that this is the usual situation in how kids get violent video games. Parents purchasing them without looking at them. I know a lot of you out there will say that is not the case with MY KIDS, but guess what? You are the exception. The majority of parents do NOT pay attention to what their kids play and buy it to keep them happy and/or distracted.

It's funny to me, because I grew up during the videogame firestorm in the 90's and I had my share of violent games. You know what? I never killed anyone. I never played Doom and decided to go on a killing spree. I never played Mortal Kombat and wanted to rip someone's heart out. You know why? Because I knew my parents would do the same to me if I even thought about it. My parents didnt monitor me like a reality show. Yet, I never did anything out of the ordinary because of video games. Now I would scream 'HADOKEN' and make the fireball motion, but I knew that I couldnt ACTUALLY TOSS FIREBALLS. I played the majority of first person shooters on my computer, but at no point did I ever get a weapon and go Duke Nukem on bystanders because it is kinda wrong to kill people. Just a little.

Censoring or stopping controversial games from being produced isnt going to solve the problem. Education, safety and monitoring will. Besides, who decides what is controversial? Mario Bros. had mushroom and flowers that gave you magic powers and ducks in turtle shells. Is that REALLY controversial? God of War had naked women and violence. It is documented that the Greek gods were a violent bunch. Is being historically accurate controversial? Like I said, educate kids on what is going on in the games and if you believe they can't handle it THEN keep them from it. I find it awkward how parents don't want strangers to tell them they are being a bad parent, but by the government censoring what you feel isnt worth your time to monitor is okay. By doing that, you are saying that you can't do your job as a parent. Ignorance, it's spreading peeps.

Anyway, enough on that.

So....the end of the world has come to pass. It will be in August, and it will be the instance this movie begins:

Yep....the apocalypse is upon us. Thanks, Tecmo. You know, the fact we have seen Street Fighter, Tomb Raider. Bloodrayne, Mortal Kombat and now DOA as movies and STILL no Metal gear Solid is kind of stupid. That would be a great movie and has yet to be greenlit but Stay Alive gets made. SAD. What could be worse than a DOA movie with Devon Aoki and Jamie Priessly? Adding Tara Reid. Now THAT would have been the worst movie EVER. You know, adding Michelle Rodriguez would have helped. I know she's not a great actress, but she is like Keanu, don't give her a lot of lines and she can shine. With video game movies and how bad they are, the less dialog the better. She's not too shabby, either:

Man, I had no idea she was rocking it like that. Speaking of Michelle Rodriguez vehicles....

Who thought a movie franchise with the 'acting talents' of Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese, Ludacris and Devon Aoki (man, she is the queen of bad roles) could go downhill? Man, if Japan just decided to unleash the hell of giant robots and ninjas on them I could not blame them. We will have deserved it after that shitfest.

The only thing that can make me feel better? Verbal and Tako, fool!

M-Flo in the hizzy, and don't you forgizzy. Well, that is all for now. I gots some stuff to do. Ya'll stay up and don't forget to vote in the finals of Douchebrawl 2006! I have come up with the decision of leaving up the poll until NEXT Monday! Gives two full extra days to tell your friends! Well, stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

Go Cuba, it's yo birfday! Go Japan, it's yo birfday!

First off, congratulations to Cuba and Japan for making the World Baseball Classic Finals. Not gonna lie, I only watched (well, listened to while I cleaned out the garage for the most part) one game and its was okay. More exciting than the usual baseball game. I really want to see Cuba win, just because Cuba is a HUGE underdog in this bad boy. Cuban pride, fool!

So, time for the big laugh of the day: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Balmer, you are a funny dude. As a famous animated squirrel once said, 'squirrel please!' I am willing to guarantee that the number of PS3 preorders will outsell the TOTAL NUMBER of Xbox 360's sold by January 1st, 2007. Mark that statement down, because I am standing by it. If I am wrong, I will get each of my peeps a Coke. Sony, you know you can do it.

You know it's kind of a shame that Microsoft botched the launch of the 360 so bad. I mean the numbers are good, but imagine what they would have been if they had been able to meet demand and had better games? Not a lot, just a few. I was looking forward to a good old fashioned console war. Remember that, peeps? I remember defending the Sega Genesis to against Griff and his Nintendo loving ass for years. Even the PS1/Saturn/N64 battle was fun to be around (two words: Panzer Dragoon) for a while. Let's also not forget the awesomely underrated Dreamcast against the powerhouse PS2. Those days are over. It was a good run, video game fans. Strong Chachi.....strong Chachi....I need a moment....

Let's remember...the good times. Remember this intro? Soul Blade blew my mind back in the day. Almost married my Playstation. Wouldn't have worked out.

Man, think I'm gonna cry. On to a game that no one played but still kicked the ass. Anyone remember Space Channel 5 for the Dreamcast? I rented it and downloaded the mod (that didnt WORK) and it was pretty bad ass. They made one for the PS2, it wasnt as good, though. Check it out.

What in the hell? Free HBO? Kick ass! So, Pretty In Pink is great for nostalgia, but the acting was kind of bad. And Ducky was a punk BITCH. Not gonna lie, still love the movie.

So, it's the first day of spring today....and it is 19 nipple hardening degrees outside. Congratulations, Mother Nature. Your ass is on the list. Eh, thems the breaks. At least I get to bond with the pets. It's fun watching the cat find a new warm up spot when its cold now that I have a flat panel monitor.

So, lastly I have a confession. I have come to like the PSP Squirrels. I'm sorry, and I am ashamed. The dustballs aren't as funny (actually, they are kind of offensive) but the squirrels are....wow.

Well, I'm cold so I'm gonna get some tea and chill. I'll see ya'll tomorrow. Until then, for the male demographic here is Maria Menudos.

All I can say is: I'D HIT THAT! I'D HIT THAT! I'D HIT THAT! I'D HIT DAT!

Chachi out.

Global warming my ASS.

Holy crap, that snow came quick! I had a few errands to run at the Outlet Mall but WHOA, that was a hell of a drive. Anyway, what is up peeps? Ya'll doing cool? Those of us in Colorado better bundle up, because God is WAY pissed off at the state again. Not sure what happened this time, but we are gonna get our asses whooped on by the snow till about Tuesday. Stay safe.

Now onto the good stuff. So Teq had another show last night at the Black Sheep here in the CSP and I must say, I am really getting tired of your ass going on at like 12:45 to 1am. Even still, great show, kid. Two new songs (albeit they weren't as good as the ones they replaced) and a great production made for a good time. And no drunkies, they ruin the fun. However, it wasn't all love.

You know, there are just some things that I can't ignore. I try to let some of the crappy fashion trends slide but.....my GOD what in the hell man?! It's time for....

Chachi's Fashion Do's and Dont's

Okay, lets get fabolous!

DO: Wear belts

A simple fashion accessory that is fucntional as well. They hold up your pants. And, sometimes they can add to an ensamble. Now ladies, I understand that sometimes your pants are so tight that hey grip your butt enough that you don't need one.

Notice how Ms. Vergara has no belt, but those pants arent going anywhere. Oh, hells yes. I have no fashion complaints there at all. But sometimes a belt can SO add to the look.

Notice that Vida's belt is on BACKWARDS. And even though the belt isnt as needed, it adds to the overall outfit. It's practical yet sexy. Even as a fashion statement, belts are quite nice.

DON'T: Have sexually provacative shirts.

This one is another case of common since. Now, I understand that people have the right to wear what they please. But if you feel that this is a fashion statement and accuratly represents you:

Then you deserve ridicule. I'm sorry, its not sexty and for the most part not fashionable. 'Porn Star' and 'Slut' arent fashion trends, they are occupations. What Dave Chappelle about wearing a whores uniform is correct. Please don't wear the name tag, too. It's just plain tacky.

DO: Dress shirts

This one is for the men, especially black men. Seeing as how white dudes are trying to corner the hobo market, it's nice to see a new fashion trend. A lot of men at the club put the jerseys away for sporting events in favor of pressed button up shirts and oullovers. It is fashionable and can be worn in a casual or semi-formal setting.

See, you can be hip in a dress shirt. Combined with a pair of clean sneakers and jeans its not a bad look. And odds are won't get you hassled by the police, who love to fuck with thugs because they are easy to point out.

DONT: Non-cowboys with big ass belt buckles

O_o

Not sure when this cam into fashion. All I know is that only rodeo dudes and cowboys need to wear huge belt buckles. THAT IS IT. Think Nelly and Usher and how stupid they look. Now put you in their shoes and take away the celebrity aspect. There you go.

Well, that is all for Chachi's Fashion Do's and Dont's. I will do them as needed. Until then, stay fab!

Anyway, time for some more good watching. Well, it's been a while since I had some Bennie K on here. Mainly because their body of work is two albums and I think 7 maxi singles. So not a lot of videos to find, but I just posted another one. It's featuring Def Tech, who actually aren't bad themselves. This is one of my favorite Bennie K songs, Better Days.

Yeah, I loves me some Bennie K I'll admit it. So in more pointless stuff, what do you get when you cross dogs with afros? Some funny stuff.

Aaaaaaand now the sun is out. Weather people should be beaten with thermometers. Except for Jackie Guerrido from Univision. I usually watch Caliente (for the new dance moves....yeah...) and Sabodo Gigante sometimes, but never the WEATHER. Now I will:

Forcast for today? A loving warm front followed by dinner and a movie. Oh yeah. Well, I am bored as hell so I am out. Stay up peeps and don't forget to vote for Douchebrawl! It's the final matchup, so its for all the marbles! Instead of for like 3 or 4 of them I guess. Also, I updated the website. Take a look, there is a new design and I have categorized the music. I fixed the Douchebrawl link as well. Check it out, it's coming along pretty well. Anyway, stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

Finally, the Battle of all Battles

Well, it is here. the Finals of Douchebrawl. It has been a long road, but you have narrowed it down from 64 down to the biggest two douches in the world...nay...the UNIVERSE. I give you the results of the Final Four of Douchebrawl!

In the first matchup, it was a clash of the titans as the #1 Seeded musician in 50 Cent tangled with the #1 douche actor Tom Cruise. In a vote that was a lot closer than it looked, here are the final results:

(1) Tom Cruise - 70%
(1) 50 Cent - 30%

So the winnah and first finalist is TOM CRUISE!!

Wow, this vote was actually close until Wednesday, when Tom pulled away big time. I'm honestly not suprised by the result, as Tom has been a douche for a lot longer than Curtis Jackson. I was impressed by Fiddy's performance, especially how he doiminated both Diddy AND Bono. But the peeps voted, and Scientology's Golden Boy is in our finals! Congratulations, Tom!

Now in the second National Semi, we had a Cinderella story vs the dominant douche and my odds on favorite to win it all. You have spoken, peeps. The question of whether Skankerella would be dancing in the finals or would K-Fed turn the coach into a pumpkin has been answered! Here are the results:

(1) Kevin Federline - 22.22%
(11) Heather Graham - 77.78%

Wow, Heather I am proud. Think about it peeps. Heather defeated the second biggest skank on the planet in Tara Reid, the Queen of Skank in Britney Spears and continued her dominance of the Spears family by dismantling that dipshit K-Fed. She will have a tough task in Mr. Cruise in the Finals, but you decided who is the bigger Douche!

So it is finally here. Two movie stalwarts square off in the Finals of Douchebrawl. The time for talk has ceased. It's time for them to battle it out for the crown. Who will be crowned the winner of Douchebrawl 2006?

(1) Tom Cruise

VS.

(11) Heather Graham

The final poll will be up shortly, peeps. Continue to vote and thanks for your support!

So, as a few of you know I am a huge Atlanta Falcons fan. They are the only team I really support and well, that's rather sad. Anyway, today they finalized a deal for Lawyer Milloy, a Pro Bowl free safety and are working on aquiring John Abraham from the New York Jets, a Pro Bowl defensive end. For non-football fans, imagine these moves like getting an all-star goalie and a all-star left defenseman (because Abraham will play weak side end) in one fell swoop. This is HUGE for Atlanta.

The Falcons were riddled by injuries on defense last year, losing at least one player at each position for two games or more. The were one of the WORST teams against the run (26th out of 32 teams) and even I had a 100 yard game against them in week 12. Griff had 97 in week 14, but he had a bum knee. Quite simply they were HORRIBLE because they had no depth. They had to start rookes for their last 5 games when they were in a playoff chase and lets just say that didnt go so well. By adding Milloy to a defensive secondary that had DeAngelo Hall (best cover corner in the game, just ask T.O. and Steve Smith) and no one else worth a damn and that is an upgrade by default. John Abraham is who I am excited about because adding him with Patrick Kerney (injured last year), Chad Lavalais (who stepped up BIG TIME with all the injuries) and Rod Coleman when he isnt drinking and driving may give them the best defensive line in the NFC, if not a tad bit better than the Broncos for best in the NFL. Add that to argurably the best linebacking corps in the NFL when healthy (Brooking, Hartwell, Williams, Boley, Reese) and you have a front seven that might actually stop some people. Get a corner in the draft to help DeAngelo and we have a real defense. I'm excited about this season, I tell you what.

Um....Pokemon is still on the air? Hasn't that little bastard found them all yet? And hasn't Ash been ten for like 8 god damn years? Geez, what in the hell happend to Saturday mornings?! That and learn some new words. This America, speak English Pikachu!

Man I would kill to see a cartoon, even at my age. Even Toxic Avengers would suffice, and that cartoon SUUUUUUUUCKED. It's a sad state, man. Lucky I was around for the heyday of great toonage. Only thing that can make me feel better? Diggy-MO and M-Flo in the same place at the same time. Hells yes.

Well, that's all for now. I may update tomorrow, I may not. All depends. The final Douchebrawl poll is now updated and I will update the site with more stuff in a bit. Until then, stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

M for Mmmmm, Padme

First off, sorry about no update yesterday. I had to fly to Phoenix and I must say, it is a lovely city they have there. It was the second time I have been, but this time i spent a few hours roaming around and it was rather cool. Except for one thing: why in the fuck is the speed limit 65?! Jesus, if your state has a speed limit under 70 your governor needs to be punched in the breadbasket. I rented a Dodge Charger (if you don't dig the Hemi, you don't have any alpha male in your system) and i couldn't even really get it pumped. Jerkasses.

Also, about kids on airplanes: shut the hell up. Seriously. And parents, don't act like your kids aren't bugging other passengers or that it is 'cute' that they are inquisitive. I was this close to yelling 'this midget is with Hamas!' just to see everyone flip out and beat the little fucker. Odds are the dump teenagers infront of me would have asked me if it was lo-cal. You know, teenage girls may just be the most vacant inhabitants of this planet not named 'George Bush' present readers excluded. I mean humor is one thing, stupidity is another. No one cares that Heath Ledger is SOOOOOO hot because he SOOOOOO can't act and SOOOOOO needs to be anally violated by a cactus. And never ask to meet the pilot unless you are ready to get punched by the air marshall, I don't care how old you are. It wasn't all bad. Had dinner with a complete stranger, too. Nice lady, but taken. Eh, what can you do. Oh, and Phoenix is big on the 'Anti-Minger' legislation. There were none there, as they were replaced by fit womens. Respect.

So, I got out of 'V for Vendetta' a few minutes ago and.....that was the movie of the year so far. Keep in mind it has been a shitty year for movies (until Ice Age 2, fool!) but I really liked this movie. I don't remember the graphic novel very well (I read it in Italy so that was a spell ago) but from what I remember it was faithful as it could have been without Alan Moore being a part of it. It didn't seem too drawn out and never seemed rushed. Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith from the Matrix, who has been in almost every great movie in the 2000's) did a great job as V and....well...Natalie Portman was damn fine. She needs to eat something, but damn. Even the bald head thing was kinda sexy. Like Ridley in Aliens 3, but a lot better movie. All in all, it is well worth your money. Especially since Thank You For Smoking ain't out in Colorado. So Colorado will show Brokeback Mountain, but won't show that? Smokers really are oppressed. The Revolution is with you, smokers! Fags are cigarettes, too! Let both be free to do as they choose!

So in more Tom Cruise douchbaggery, it seems that he supposedly strong armed Paramount/Viacom/Satan's Anus into pulling the Scientology episode of South Park. Here is a clip:

You know, I saw that episode and downloaded it, and that shit was funny. You know why? Because Tom Cruise is gay. Not just gay, SUPERGAY. I'm not concerned about Scientology jokes because its not even a real religion. If on judgment day if it happens to still be true, book me a one way ticket to Detroit because there is no fucking way I want to spend eternity with Tom and John Travolta. As far as I am concerned, its like suing a TV show because they say there is no Santa because he (like Xemu and anyone else in Scientology and religion as a whole) are fictional characters.

The episode is funny because Tom Cruise is such a tool about his rep. When someone says I'm gay, it doesnt BOTHER ME. Why? Because I know its not true, and that is all that matters. That and the whole Johnny Depp thing. If he just wants to protect his reputation, that is fine. However, there have been several actors/actresses that have handled personal attacks by just telling them to fuck off rather than suing everyone because you don't have a snappy comeback.

You know what is confusing? Tom Cruise has the most blockbusters (100 million+) movies of all actors and yet, no one considers him a top-flight actor in terms of talent. The few movies that I have seen Tom in, he is Tom Cruise in EVERY film. The man has less depth than Keanu Reeves. That's right, I said it. At least Keanu plays the same role in every film (brooding, silent type that acts with his actions) because he is CAST as the same role in every film. Tom Cruise has played a variety of roles....as Tom Fucking Cruise. From Far And Away to Mission Impossible to The Last Samuari (would actually would have been great if he weren't in it) to....um...think think think....Top Gun he is they same guy, but those are four different roles from FOUR DIFFERENT FUCKING ERAS! The only movie I can think of that he was decent in was Born on the 4th of July, but that was more subject matter than his acting. Tom hasn't won an Oscar, but he hasn't had that Samuel L. Jackson (A Time To Kill, Pulp Fiction) or Johnny Depp (Neverland, Pirates of the Caribbean) or even Leonardo DiCaprio (The Aviator, Titanic) performance an they all deserve Oscars more than him. Feh, what do I know?

So, on to happy news. I finally found M-Flo's live Beat Space Nine album. For those of you who don't know who M-Flo is, I am not completely sure myself. I THINK that it was Verbal (kind of a DJ) M-Flo and Vanessa, but she went solo and now its just the two dudes. They make beats like Pharell from the Neptunes and usually do duets. I had Taste Your Stuff with Bennie K and Love Bug with BoA (I LOVE YOU, GIRL!) live videos on and they kicked ass. The album rules all, as it's a double album and all live. I ask you that is you have any like of j-pop, j-urban or hell just good music to give it a try. I have for you So Exclusive with Sowelu. Those of you who have seen Full Metal Alchemist know her, as she did the 4th (last) ending for the show. For the ladies, it's a great dance ditty and for the fellas, Sowelu is HAWT.

Yeah, catchy little tune. Oh, and I told you she was a nice lady. Check this out.

So, it's almost over. The Finals of Douchebrawl will begin at Midnight! Tomorrow will see the beginning of the Ultimate in Douchebaggery. Will it be Tom or Fiddy? Heather or K-Fed? Only you can decide! I want to thank all of you for voting and the next great idea is coming soon! Stay tuned for that, I hope you will like it.

Oh, damn I almost forgot it's St. Patricks Day. And....I coulnd't give a rats ass. You know, I wonder who would win in a drinking contest: a Pirate, an Irishman or a Viking? Wow....Cosmic. I don't think we will ever know the answer to that one. Anyway, I thought this was funny:

Happy St. Patrick's Day. everybody!

Well, I'm about to grab some food. Stay up, peeps the results of Douchebrawl will be announced tomorrow morning. Until then, check this out. Almost makes me like Naruto. ALMOST.

Chachi out.

PS3: The quest for more money.

Alright, first off I have decided on the next big battle: Ladies Night Toon Fight and Testosorumble! These two tournements are the battle of the hottest animated males and females (comic books, anime, cartoons and video games) in the Universe! You know what, sometimes I think I am way too ahead of my time. That and totally in-fucking-sane. I plan on starting both concurrently on 3/31/2006, the week after the end of Douchebrawl. Due to time constraints, the voting will take place via the website only (which suffered a meltdown the other day that I am working on) but the blog will update as normal. Gotta show love to the peeps. Seeding is up and I will have the brackets set up in a bit. I'm trying to balance it out more and not have it loaded, especially for the men with Cloud (HAWT!), Sepiroth (BISHIE HAWT!) and Alucard (BLOODSUCKER BISHIE HAWT!) all in the same region. Them's the breaks though.

Now, to my pissed off time. I am sure you all heard (although I said this the day the 360 was released) that the PS3 was pushed back by Sony until the holiday season. Anyone who didnt think Sony wasn't going to do this was a fucktard. As much as I loved my PS1 and PS2, and how much I looked forward to the PS3 I am still a tad bit pissed. Mainly because they are going to release the unit (reportedly) the Tuesday before the Nintendo Revolution's release, WHENEVER IT IS. Supposedly it was June 15th of this year, but that was too ambitious for Nintendo and WAY too ambitious for Sony. So now odds are the release date will be December 12th for the PS3 (mark it down, I feel confident about that date). First off, as a business move, that is straight thug. They are forcing consumers to choose between one or the other (PS3 or Revolution) and that is just good business. However, I was going to buy BOTH systems (with a five month difference in release dates, it would have been affordable.) and now I cannot do that. I say boo to Sony for that. The second reason is the whoe Blu-Ray thing versus the HD-DVD format that the X-box 360 uses. I like the fact that it is four times larger than a standard DVD, but if it becomes the standard, expect your money flow to go SOUTH. I'm sure hgames will cost more than the XBox 360 (I'll go with 70-80 bucks if not more) and the hardware is pushing half a grand, or five hunned dollars. BASE. Holy fucking shit. That means you are looking at 700+ just to get out of the gate. That X-Box bundle ain't looking so bad now?

Who am I kidding. Have you seen the demos for Metal Gear Solid 4?

Sony is gonna violate me like the health inspector. *Sigh* I need a backbone. Another note. This is pure rumor, but I have heard from several sources that game retailers (GameStop, GameCrazy, EB, etc.) are only going to take PS3 pre-orders for a WEEKEND to avoid the 360 fiasco. That means if you pre-order, they call you on the day Sony is taking retail pre-orders and you pay for it then. After that weekend, you are shit out of luck. You have to hope that the overstock is available or the only way to get one is to dance for that shadowy looking guy with the loading van behind the Best Buy. And I ain't talking about the running man. Just rumors.

Alright, I need my BoA fix. Second favorite song....LIVE. You know what, I'm just gonna pony up and try to find this woman. It worked for Jennifer Love Hewitt (she didnt get a restraining order, at least. Unlike Alyssa Milano. Man I thought we could have been something special) so it might work for her, too. If you are reading this, Boa Kwan I would like to take you out for lunch, so we can get to know each other. Maybe afterward we can go to catch a nice movie and have ice cream. You think?

I have got the love bug, peeps. Matter of fact, you what you are, Ms Kwan? Beautiful.

Hell yes. You know, I like that song. Even though Bobby looks like a thug treasure trog, it's alright. Diggable song none the less.

Well, I'm out. Late update tomorrow, got some things to take care of. Till then, check this out. Johnny Five is ALIVE!

My bad about the short update, just a little stressed. I will hit ya'll up on Friday with the mad vids and notes. And odds are I will rant about something. Stay tuned and stay up.

Jess, where did we go wrong?

Sigh, Chachi out.

Tuesday, March 14, 2006

On a scale of one to ten, I am so drunk.

Man, I love that line. Div from Penny Arcade is one of the best supporting characters ever. So what is up, peeps? I heard ANOTHER friend of mine is sick. Man, it's gonna be a rough 2006. Well, here's to you feeling better, kiddo.

That. Was. Awesome. Anyway, yesterday I mentioned shows that I was gonna talk about shows that I felt were underrated from my younger days. Well, there were a couple of them that I remember plus a few that I don't (in which Griff will have to help me remember). First off, I want to give mad props to where I got the inspiration for the title of the blog. Yep, Chachi. Now although Scott Baio had used the name on Happy Days and Joanine Loves Chachi, I originally used the phrase after seeing an episode of a show that I was totally PISSED they cancelled. That show was Pepper Ann. Check out the theme:

Man, my senior year of high school Pepper Ann came on at 7:30 and I had to be at school by 9:00 so I used to watch it every morning. That show kicked the ass, man! I am so spacing on the episode, but someone said to Pepper Ann about her brother 'He's one cool chachi' and man I laughed. Griff used it off and on for about a year and then I ran with it. They had a musical episode (I'm sorry, but if you don't have an all-singing episode or close to it, your show ant JACK) and dealt with serious teen issues. Like when Pepper Ann was told she needed 'protection' in gym so she got a bra. That is funny on so many levels, because most women now a days don't understand that wearing clothes is a PRIVILEDGE, not a right. All in all, Pepper Ann was a good show. Sign the petition to get it on DVD so I can spend more money on stuff I can't afford!

Next on the greatness that people may not recognize is probably one of my favorite non-anime cartoons. Also, he is the only Batman rip-off (aside from the Authority member the Midnighter who is not only one of the few gay characters in print, he is married to another superhero AND adopted a daughter! Take THAT, Brokeback Mountain!) that I actually dig. I give to you the terror that flaps in the night...DARKWING DUCK!

One of the last shows I saw in Italy on SEB (Southern European Broadcasting, FOOL! Military brats rise up!) before coming back stateside. I loved this show so damn much it was sad. This man was like Batman with poor coordination and a sense of humor. Also, he was a duck so yeah a few more slight differences. But man, he had cool villains, a great supporting cast and GISMODUCK, FOOL! Can't beat that. Oh, and did I mention the theme song is SO bad-ass. Darkwing Duck was the mad toons, yo. Much love.

Next is one that only maybe 7 people in AMERICA remember but man, this show was funny. Problem was it wasn't supposed to be. Does anyone remember Swan's Crossing?

Man, that show was like Young and the Restless for kids. Minus the acting. I watched this show solely for the fact that one of the main characters got drunk and tried to drive a certain slayer home on his scooter and fell off a cliff. It was supposed to be tragic, but I laughed like I had never laughed before. That and take a look at these pictures:

For those of you who don't know, the second girl (l-r) is Brittany Daniel from Joe Dirt fame while that funny nosed girl on the end is none other that Sarah Michelle Gellar from Buffy and All My Children as that bitch daughter of Erica Kane, Kendall. I always blame her form Susan Lucci not getting an Emmy all those years. On the bottom is the brother of quasi-famous actor Dylan McDermot, Shane. Aint seen him in much else since. Also, the show had a young Mira Sorvino! All that acting talent, yet such a BAD show. I loved it none the less. It also had a dance which i am having mad difficulties finding. Imagine the wop meets the Electric Slide.

In the 80's, there were a few really good non anime cartoons (Transformers, Thundercats, GI Joe, The Littles) and a few really bad cartoons (Snorks, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Go-Bots, Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines). Then there was the muddled middle of 'average' was where about 70% of the cartoons were. One of the cartoons on the cusp of being good was Silverhawks. Now when you see the intro you are like 'wow this could be awesome!'

Then the show came on and it was actually good. It had a pretty interesting plot by 80's standards and the toys were pretty damn sweet. Except for that ship that was supposed to disappear over a mirror like it did in the cartoon but it ended up being bullshit. I was 5, what did I know? Not only that, Mon*Star was a very underrated bad guy. The dude breathed fire and rode on a metallic, evil space squid. Now THAT is evil.

The problem was it came out when toys were dominated by Transformers, GI Joe and He-Man/She-Ra. Yeah I had She-Ra's Pearl Palace, wanna fight about it? I would rather have had the 5th incarnation of Optimus Prime than the new Silverhawks space jet. Even still, I really liked this show, and it didn't hurt it came on right before Transformers. A Silverhawks movie would be quite the nice. You listening Joss Whedon? I saw Serenity; make it happen.

This last one is probably the best show aimed for girls EVER. You hear me, Bratz and Winx? EVER. She was a strong female lead that wore many hats including a powerful business woman. The made a difference by create a home for young girls. She ran a successful record label as well. A great role model you say? Damn right she is, and she also touched the hears of the world with here kick as jams. The greatest female character this side of Wonder Woman, I give you JEM!

Hell yes! I'm a grown man and I still will sing the Jem theme song when I hear it! Now I never had the toys (my sister did, though) but I did pilfer the cassettes and listen to them in secret. Before you go getting all giggly about it, really think about it. Jem was a role model, had actual good music (thing about songs in the 80's here. They all weren't Thriller, buddy) and a message with almost each episode including child abuse and drug addiction. I never saw Transformers deal with those kind of issues, peeps. Well, there was the Optimus Prime prostate episode so I will give them one. Jem had great villains in The Misfits (there was something about Pizazz that was just animated she-bitch-SEXY), a great supporting cast in her bandmates (had a thing for Kimber, too) and her metro-before-metro-was-in boyfriend Rio and to top it all off, Kimber and Stormer got their own albums. Not like I bought it or anything. Even still, I think Jem rocks! YEEEEEAAAHHH!

Well, that's all for the underrated cartoons. One of these days I'm gonna do the Sauciest Animated Ladies tournament as a reason to put pictures of Tifa. Don't worry ladies, I'll do one for the guys too. But Sepiroth would win, so I don't know why I would bother. Anyone else see Cillian Murphy as a great Sepiroth? Those eyes....my god those eyes. Anyway, I am out. Early update tomorrow as there won't be one on Thursday. Stay up, peeps. I'll be back again. Wait....

Now that's back. Aaahhh, t's good to be me.

Chachi out.

Monday, March 13, 2006

Okay, quick update. First off, this is Bianca Lawson:

I wanna ring HER bell if you get where im going with it. And I think you do. OOhh, Chachi, your sexual innuendo is priceless. Oh, and here are pictures of Scorpina:

You know, for 1993-94, she was pretty fly. I mean she's no Padme or Melyssa Ford, but at my young age she was quite the nice.

Oh, and in the biggest hooba-jooba wha moment in history, check this out:

Um.....that is interesting. I thought the Japanese already had Zyuranger (a correcting from the last post) so they wouldn't need this. I guess they kicked that much ass.

OMFG! No one on this PLANET remembers this! I bought this at Camelot Video (yeah, that is WAY back in the day) in Wichita, Kansas because I thought it was a new Voltron and boy was I wrong. It was only five episodes and actually wasn't that bad. I have it on video cassette somewhere, I think I will pull it out and watch it at some point. This is Voltus V (or Voltus Five as I remember it) and my god did I love this!

My GOD the 80's ruled. Sans the whole crack epidemic, Reaganomics and Jelly Shoes. And you saw that right, Voltus wrecked your shit with razor tops and a belt. Now that is giant robot thug right there.

Also, I mentioned this on Saturday that Douchebrawl's Final Four will be up until Friday. I want to get double the votes this time (about 30) for each matchup so tell your friends!

Peeps, I had to put this up here. With the release of Advent Children a little over a month away, here is some FUNNY ass stuff right here.

Not gonna lie, that's good stuff. Well, stay up, peeps. All is well that ends well. Wait....

I got nothing. LOOK AT THAT, MAN! Stay up, peeps.

Chachi is SO out.

It really is a small world...

So yesterday I was online while watching The Boondocks (Stop playing with the white man's water!) and I decided to do something I had not done in about 4 years: enter a chat room. So I went into the Anime Discussion room and boy was it awkward. Now I consider myself a fan, but for crissake man, let it go! I loves me some anime and am considering doing cosplay (just so I can be Ken from Yakitate! Japan and challenge people to dance offs) but I just realized that anime geeks are SCARY. Imagine Trekkies but younger idiots speaking shitty Japanese with cat ears and fox tails. And BTW, no mingers in cat ears. You don't look cute, you look like a minger in cat ears. I may not be Terrance Howard, but I know where to draw the line.

Anyway, I usually use the name Jenovah_X, based on 'Jenovah' cells from Final Fantasy VII (extra points if you can name Sepiroth's mom!) and the 'X' from j-rock band X Japan that I thought was Japan X (thank you for the correction) and I came up with Jenovah_X. Well, a chatter named angelslayer_X asked who I was. I told him 'I am me, who are you?' Come to find out he has a band in California named Jenova X that does J-rock covers (Sex Machineguns, X Japan, etc). Cosmic. I know a lot of you may not care, but that was really cool to me. If he sends me some video of their performances, I will post it for the peeps to check out with their permission. Even weirder: we have been using the name for almost the EXACT same amount of time and he is less than a year younger than me. Talk about surreal. Awesome, but surreal.

So I saw on VGCats that Bleach is getting licensed. It's about damn time, that show kicks the ass. Let's just hope it doesn't end up on Fox Kids butchered and merchandised all to hell. I am all for Kon breakfast cereal, though. Now that would be good eatin.

Speaking of Fox Kids and merchandising hell, its RANT TIME. This rant is a long time coming, too. Okay, I am sure a few of you remember a show called the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Well I do, and I will not lie that show USED to kick ass. Even though Billy was like 40 playing a 17 year old (they were Juniors, right?) I could get past that because it was a happy action Morphin time! That and Kim was nuclear. At least nuclear to an 11 year old and she had a little bit of boo-tay, you feel me? On another note, you know who was quite alright and never got a lot of play? Scorpina. In the episode where she pretended to be an exchange student, she looked quite alright. Anyway, combine that with battle scenes taken DIRECTLY from the Japanese Digirangers (I think that's the spelling. Little help?) and it was a grand old time. I even had the first set of Megazords! I remember that after the second season/beginning of the third season when their zords got destroyed by Lord Zedd (who turned from badass to joke WAAAAAAY to quick for my tastes) and they got the Thunder Zords (the best looking of the bunch IMHO) and it was on during PRIME TIME. That is how big the Power Rangers were.

I was at Toy's R' Us looking for a copy of Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana when I way the toys for the new Power Rangers Mystic Crap or something. Since when did the Power Rangers need magic?! They have giant robots and bad-ass weapons! My god, Bandai has bastardized that franchise! After the first movie, America should have bowed out of the Power Ranger series. Instead, Fox squeezed every bit of money out of it like....well Hasbro did with Transformers. Machine Wars, anyone? After the Escaflowne incident, I can say fuck Bandai without much remorse. I have counted 12 different incarnations of the Power Rangers franchise.

Aside from the first run and the short time in season 3 with the Shogun Zords (god, I'm a nerd) they have all sucked ass! How do I know without seeing it, you ask? The Brokeback Mountain Theory. Don't have to see it to know it sucks.

What really hurts is that thay have taken a pretty kick-ass time in my childhood and Saved By The Belled it. Those who saw Saved By The Bell: The New Class know what I am talking about. Except for the saucy ass Bianca Lawson. Anyway, back to the point. If there are people that remember the Power Rangers, remember the good times. The times of joy and old school Morphers. The days of Bulk and Skull as comic relief. The joy of seeing the Megazord forming after Rita yelled 'Make my monster GROW!'. The fact that the putties rivaled Stormtroopers, Cobra soldiers and the Foot Clan as ass-whoopin fodder for the good guys. And they DANCED! Beat that, George Lucas! Quite simply, remember the Power Rangers for the joy they bought us, not for the crap they are now. For the fans, here is something truly kick-ass. One question: why does Angel Grove have an International Airport? What in the hell is IN Angel Grove any-damn-way? Rita and Zedd used to say 'Angel Grove, and THEN the world!' Does Angel Grove have an oil reserve or nuclear warheads? That just always bugged me. That and the fact the five kids that always hung out and were almost RACIALLY LINKED to their colors and Zords (black dude as the Black Ranger and Asian girl as the Yellow Ranger. They might as well had an Irishman be the Guinness Ranger) always disappeared when the Power Rangers showed up and came back when the trouble was over. Yet, no one put two and two together. What can you expect from people whose buildings were made of CARDBOARD. It was still a great time to be a kid.

Can't talk about Power rangers without mentioning one of the originals. Voltron, fool!

If you watched that and didn't tear up a little, you are not a cartoon fan. Strong Chachi....not gonna cry....

Now that I am feeling all nostalgic, tomorrow I am doing a special Random Words of Chachi. No, not on teen pregnancy. I will present to you the most underrated shows of my youth (or Ute) for the peeps approval. Feel free to leave ideas for some of your own shows that you dug as a kid as well. I'll put it up and give you a shout out. I'm gonna edit this entry in a bit because Blogger is licking taint and not letting pictures in. Until then, stay up, peeps.

Chachi out.

Saturday, March 11, 2006

What can I say, I'm a giver.

Hey, peeps. I forgot to tell you: the polls for the Douchebrawl 2006 Final Four will be up until Friday at midnight. That gives you a whole week to vote! Let your voice be heard!

Also, Z-Money ain't doing so well. Got a case of the 'boogaloo flu' that was going around. Only one thing can cure that: Scarlett Johanssen.

Feeling better already, ain't cha? Well, I got more. Uverworld, FOOL! WHAT!

Thank me later. Well, I'm off to watch the new Justice League Unlimited because I'm cold, bored and poor. Crap, I'm not in the mood to do an end joke. Screw it.
Stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

Four Douches, One Champion.

Ladies and gentleman, the Final Four of Douchebrawl has been set! I first off want to thank you for telling your friends because the votes for this round were triple those of the first round matchups! Peeps, I thank you. Now, let's get to the results!

Pauly Shore Regional Final

(1) Tom Cruise - 93.33%
(2) Mel Gibson - 6.67%

The Winnah - TOM CRUISE

Now this wasn't a shocker, but I was suprised by the margin of Tom's victory. Considering this bracket received the most votes, I was stunned by the dominance of Tom in this region. No matchup was even CLOSE. Congrats, Tom. You are the ultimate of actor douches. Xemu is proud. Who is the next entry into the Douchebrawl Final Four?

NKOTB Regional Final

(1) 50 Cent - 56.25
(3) Bono - 43.75%

The Winnah - 50 CENT

Wow, this was good. At the end of each day, the leader was different and it literally came down to the wire. I really thought that Bono could pull off the upset after taking down the #2 seed Nelly. However, in the end, Fiddy proved that he is the douchiest musician out there and earned that number one seed. Who is next one to make the finals?

Anna Nicole Regional Final

(1) Britney Spears - 18.75%
(11) Heather Graham - 81.25%

The Winnah - Heather Graham

Wow. I really underestimated how much people don't like Heather Graham. I honestly thought Britney Spears would run away with this bracket. That is why you let the peeps vote. Is all about you. I can say that 'Skankerella' has a pretty good shot in this. It's about heart and lack of talent. She has both. Now for the final entry

Kato Kailen Regional Final

(1) Kevin Federline - 75%
(2) Ashton Kutcher - 25%

The Winnah - Kevin Federline

Much like Cruise v. Gibson, I was shocked by the margin of victory in this matchup. It would be like Duke blowing out UConn: it COULD happen, but the talent should have made a game out of it. In this case, Kevin Federline popozaoed his way into Douchebrawl history as the most dominant force in his region. He dominated more than Tom Cruise against some stiffer competition (Milanakis, Jack Thompson, The Kootch). Win or not, K-Fed earned a lot of Douche-cred.

Here are the updated brackets!



So the brackets are set for the finals of the Andy Dick Douchebrawl 2006!!! In the first matchup, we have the craziest man in movies facing off against the biggest douche in music industry (not named Jimmy Iovine)!

Pauly Shore Regional Winner - Tom Cruise


VS.

NKOTB Regional Winner - 50 Cent


And in the second finals matchup of Douchebrawl 2006, the 'Queen of the Whores' takes on the arguably the most worthless human being on the planet!

Anna Nicole Regional Winner - Heather Graham


VS.

Kato Kailen Regional Winner - Kevin Federline

Well, the polls will be up momentarily, peeps. Can 50 take down Cruise or will Tom force Fiddy to back down? Can Heather Graham take out the Spears family back to back or will K-Fed continue his dominant run to the Douchebrawl crown? Only YOU can decide! Voting begins in a minute! Because in the end, the power is YOURS. Wait...

Okay, now I can end this post. Stay up, peeps.

Chachi out.

Spring has sprung...right back into WINTER.

You know what? Mother nature is a bitch. She needs to be put in her place, I tell you what. No need for me to be cold in March. There is something really wrong with that. Also, what is with women and fur? You do understand thay you don't look sexy as much as you look like a cavewoman. I hate fur coats, not because I love animals but because it is tacky looking. Unless you killed it yourself, you shouldnt wear fur. It should be a badge of honor winstead of a badge of bad fashion taste.

Well, enough on that. I watched Shinobi straight through (with no interruptions this time so I could read all the subtitles) and one thing bugs me: movies about ancient Japan and China that are based on true events. Im not talking about the shitfests like Open Water and The Hills Have Eyes. BTW, same as When A Stranger Calls, I will FUCK YOU UP if you see that movie. Anyway, I like how they take stories about the shoguns, but did they really have kick-ass ninja abilities?

You are DAMN RIGHT they did, which is why I want to become the Shogun of Colorado. Z will be dubbed the Official Vice-Shogun of Beatdowns, which is a pretty cake job. He just says 'You know who we should beatdown? Greece.' Then Greece gets their ass handed to them. Kumi Koda is my first lady while Vida Guerra is my second lady (because I'm the SHOGUN. I can have as many ladies as I want!) and we will rule with an iron fist!

Anyway, back to Shinobi. I can honestly say there was only one bad part of the movie. And it wasnt BAD as much as you went 'that was kinda hokey'. There was another part that pissed me off, but it was more a relection of how evil women can be. if you have seen The Ice Harvest, you know what I mean. Aside from those two parts, there is a tragic love story, a bad ass zombie warrior, a kick ass score and well choreographed fights albeit hella short. If it ever comes to the USA unraped by Quentin Tarrentino, I recommend you check it out. Also, Ayumi Hamasaki performs the closing theme. It doesn't get much better than that. Check out Heaven.

I know video has nothing to do with the movie, but it was released as an album single rather than a track for the movie. I loves the song none the less. And her voice is incredible when you put into perspective the different styles of music she sings. Compare this to Evolution (I put it up on Wednesday I think) and you will see her voice is very dynamic. I should be on American Idol as a judge. Get rid of Randy's ass and put me on there.

Alrighty, it has been what, a day since I have had some Kumi Koda up on here. That is WAY to long for me to not have my fix. I NEED IT. Here is a live rendition of No Regret, and although its not one of my favorite songs from her it is live and she is the best live performer out there this side of probably Missy Elliott or System of A Down. Not a fan of either or their music, but they can rock a show like no other. Anyway, back to my lady love.

You know, I am about 15 deep in terms of watching her live performances, and I have YET to see her lip synch a full song. She has a pre-recorded vocal track, but she is singing for the most part except for the hook. Aside from Kumi and New Edition (I STILL want to see a show with Bobby ever since they couldnt make the USO show with MC Hammer. Now THAT was a party!), I dont think anyone does the live singing dancing thing anymore. That and she still has a good singing voice when dead tired and making moves. Guess that's why I'm smitten. Being saucy doesn't hurt either.

So next Friday is the day. V For Vendetta comes out and I cannot WAIT! It looks great, Natalie Portman bald is not to shabby (and she is a hell of a rapper too. Now that Lil Kim is in jail, she should make her move for the crown of Queen of Hip Hop) and they blow up Big Ben. Take THAT England! Oooohhh, we have a big ass clock! Big deal, Flava Flav has one AND his own show. Beat that, you tea sipping umbrella jockeys! And take back Hugh Grant, you bastards! Oh, and Madonna if you want her. Anyway, back to V For Vendetta. I glanced at the graphic novel at Barnes and Noble and it didnt look too bad. Check out the trailer:

Fight the power, porcielin man. All in all, looks to be a kick ass film. Did I mention Natalie Portman is quite the fine?

Ah, Padme. You made the last three Star Wars watchable. Like a young Winona Ryder. Leave me alone, I have a thing for elves.

I gotta run, ya'll. Douchebrawl ends TONIGHT so make sure to vote and see who makes the Final Four of Douchedom! Well, all things must come to an end. Wait.....

Aaaahhh, there's the end. Stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

Kicking it old school.

Yo, yo, yo! What it is, homies?! Chachi coming at cha like a bull moose, fool! So, if you haven't noticed by now, this is Throwback Thursday, peeps. If it goes over well, I may keep this idea. If not, it can go in the same pile as Go-Bots Meets Rock Warriors.

So last night I had a discussion with Griff about the worst rap songs ever. We tossed out a lot of names. P. Diddy, LL. Cool J, Nelly, Mase's whole body of work. All these artists made really crappy rap songs. But seeing how this is Throwback Thursday, I am gonna kick the 90's whack jams for you guys. I bring to you the Throwback Thursday 'Throw It Back' Tracks. The worst rap songs that odds are you haven't heard of. But if a song sucks and no one hears it, it still sucks. Deep, I know.

First off, we have Oaktown 357. Now back in the day I had all of MC Hammer's albums (hell, I still have my copy of his Active Duty, more out of pity than anything else) but I never got into Oaktown's album. Why? Because aside from Get Loose (GREATEST DANCE SONG EVER) their body of work left a lot to be desired. Below is their first single, Juicy Got'Em Crazy. Um, yeah 'juicy' is what you think it is.

Yep, they juicy ain't got ME crazy. Well, the next song was one that the second worst phrase into the American vernacular: MyBabyDaddy. Keep in mind, peeps. MyBabyDaddy is one word, no spaces and no pauses. To split the words up like normal people downplays the ignorance. To top it all off, this song was actually a HIT as women everywhere referred to the nigga they let hit it after the club without the jimmy hat as MyBabyDaddy. Even worse is that is probably the legal term now too, look at the Maury Povich Show. It's how he makes his living. Anyway, feel the ignorance.

God, the breakdown at the end still makes me want punch a cat. Next is Vanilla Ice's I Love You. Now say what you will about the guy, EVERYONE had a copy or a dub (back when we used cassettes, baby! I refused to give up cassettes until like 1999 cuz STAY rewinding, son!) of To The Extreme. I liked Ice Ice Baby and sadly I have to admit I saw Cool As Ice. In the theater. Even still, this song sucked ass, as did the rest of the album sans Ice Ice Baby and Play That Funky Music. This song is dedicated to Jessica Alba. Cuz I love you, girl.

Hmm, as much as I can't stand L.L. Cool J (buy some Carmex, fool! Licking your lips makes it worse!) he should have sued the HELL out of Ice. He pulled a Michael Bolton for your ASS, and L.L ain't even dead. Must be how the Isley Brothers felt. Next is one that I completely blocked out. As a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. I really refused to acknowledge this songs existence. Yesterday, Zach bought it back to my attention. Good job, this song almost ruined my day. Check out Partners In Kryme (yes, that's the spelling peeps) and feel the T-U-R-T-L-E Power.

Wow, the suckitude of that song is massive. AND LEONARDO WAS THE LEADER, YOU ASS! This next to last one is a song I got from a CD sampler back in 1998 if I'm not mistaken. My sister got a gaggle of demo CD's free in college (Because if there is one all niggas have, its a demo CD to give you) and some of them were good. These guys weren't one of them. These suckasses are called the Hi-Town DJ's and the HI stands for 'hella ignorant' or something because this song is CRAP on a disc. Also, this song is not suitable for children. It aint suitable for ADULTS for that matter, but hey do what you gotta do. Sigh, here is 'Ring-A-Ling' by the Hi-Town DJ's.

I'm STILL looking for a place to send the hate mail. Or the mountain lion.

News time! So they are ordering Michael Jackson to close down Neverland. If they close it, the children won't come. Not like THAT, nasty nellies. All I can say is that it is about time. All they have to do now is block R. Kelly from buying video equipment and children can sleep safe. In even sadder news....The Wayans Brothers are at again. NO NO NO NO NO! We are talking a show that could be worse than Homeboyz In Outer Space and C-Bear and Jamal COMBINED. Who keeps on letting them do stuff?! We have a black cartoon character and his name is Frylock! That is all we need, let it go!

Well, that is enough for now. Douchebrawl 2006 is open until Midnight tomorrow, in which the Final Four will begin Saturday morning and will stay open until next Friday! Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! Tell your pets! No guinea pigs, they freak me out. Oh, and VH1 should just stop playing videos and just play the I Love shows 24/7. I love this I Love Toys show. Hungry Hungry Hippos fool! What?! Well, I'm gonna finish off Shinobi. So far, this movie is pretty damn spiffy. Stay up, peeps.


That's the end. Chachi out.

No, THAT's the end. Happy Thursday everybody!

Back for the first time.

Yeah, back on the mainframe! What it be like?

First off, I am all for going slow when it is snowing. Safety first and all that nonsense. However, if you decide to go slow, in the left lane, you open yourself up to a Muscle Buster into the concrete. For those unfamiliar with Japanese wrestling, this is the Muscle Buster, as performed by the Walking Murder Machine, Samoa Joe.

As Cyborg would say: BOO-YAH! FEEL THE PAIN, PUNK ASS DRIVERS!! Be safe, but in the safe lane. Don't hold up the road for those of us speeding and listening to Driver's High. As a matter of fact, I am going to go back to my college paper and say that if driving were more like Mario Kart, the world would be a better place. Now I give you:

Chachi's Rules of the Mario Kart Road!

1. Ramps that can only be cleared by going the speed limit. Between those ramps? Pipe Monsters. The big ones, not those baby ones from the first three Marios. Swallow your car whole like Gina Lynn. Kids, don't look that up. Dudes, she's a champ. Check her out.
2. Randomly placed chain chomps. C'mon, that would kick ten parts of ass. And much like in the jungle and zombie movies, the slow one gets eaten.
3. Automatic Blue Turtle Shells to cars forced to slowdown more than 10mph within 3 seconds. The rewards those that want to win. I hate slowing down because the Stevie Nicks litening freak in front of me is cruising. This is the great equalizer.
4. Power Ups for Aggressive Driving. Like style points in Need For Speed, you get mushrooms, 'naner peels and turtle shells by offensive driving (passing, drifting, etc.). This rewards getting the hell out of my way. Also, you get power ups for hopping through corners. Griff taught me that trick, big ups.
5. Invincibilty Stars! When you get the star and hit a jump, it goes all Burnout style and you clear MEGA distance. I'm talking 20 miles. Also, when you hit a car while invincible, you get their power ups and gas. Those gas prices are creeping up again.

Those are just a few of what a Mario Kart world would offer us. We can only dream.

You know what I really hate? When you like a song on an album that isnt a single, but once it is released they play it to the point that you want to rip out your brain through your eardrums. That is the case with Ne-Yo's so sick. I won't lie, I have had the song for about 3 months after downloading it (although for some reason it had Jin on it) and I was like 'Wow, this is a pretty good song.' Then the video came out for it and I was like 'Wow, this is a pointless ass video.' I was able to get past that because it's easy to avoid MTV. Now the song is everywhere. Seriously it was in a Robitussin commercial. Okay, I'm exaggerating but you get the idea. Is it the purpose of EVERYONE in music to make you tired of an artist as quick as possible? It must be, because now I could live another day never hearing that song again. Which is a shame, because it is ne of the few R&B songs that doesn't suck complete ass. Pied Pisser of R&Pee and Avant, I am looking at your sorry asses. If it wasn't for John Legend and Jill Scott, R&B would be dead.

Speaking of John Legend, I must say I am glad he won the Best New Artist Grammy. I know the Grammys don't mean much (Hell, I have one for Best Hip-Hop/Folk/Dance Sung Collaboration with Vocals from short lived Con-Phun-Tation Project in 1997) but it was good to see him win kudos for a GREAT, GREAT, GREAT album. And since the radio doesn't play good music, I never got tired of his songs. If anyone has the Ordinary People track with the orchestra ending, let me know.

I love that damn song.

So I talk a lot about J-pop singers on this blog, and I completely spaced on a duo I really dig. Emyli and Yoshika were on a song with M-Flo called Dopamine that I put up a while back, and this song wasnt labeled correctly so I didnt know she sang it. I feel like such a tool. Anyway, this song kicks ass and I would like to share it with the peeps. Expand your horizons, peeps.

For what it's worth, M-Flo is not too bad lyrically. Unlike Seamo. Imagine Lil Jon, but add about 5 inches in height, lose the dreads and turn him Japanese. Yep, that bad. At least he's trying so I gotta give him a C- for effort. Speaking of effort and C- level rappers, what in the hell happened to Ja Rule? Am I the only one concerned about the whereabouts of Ja? WHERE'S JA?! Not gonna lie to you, I kinda miss Ja Rizzo. Look me in the eye and look at Rizzo the rat and tell me there is no resemblance:

Where would I be without yoooooooooooooooooouu! It's cheddaaaaaa! Okay, okay those are jokes a lot of you won't get. Carry on, Ja. Carry on.

Well, that is all for now. Tune in tomorrow, because I have another idea for greatness. Foreshadowing, peeps. You know you love it. Oh, here is the La La Love Song remix with Soul'd Out. It's on the website, but this is a lot better quality.

Oh yeah that's the stuff. Well, I will be back tomorrow, peeps. Don't forget, freedom isn't free. Support Vida Guerra.

Now THAT is how you end a post. Chachi out.

Snow day my fat black ass!

Weather people are the biggest dipshits EVER. It's the only job aside from President where you can be totally fucking wrong and no one gets upset. You know what, here is an idea. For every time a weather person makes a completely wrong forcast, the get hit with a stun gun. Right in the testicals. Or nipple for female weatherpeople because women can do stuff now. They also can get tortured for not giving ME THE RIGHT FUCKING FORCAST! Through playing around with them.

So after WAAAAAAY too long of searching, I finally found Shinobi: Heart Under Blade DVD rip on bittorent with subtitles. It has acually been out for about 3 months, but my dumb ass kept getting the one recorded in the theater. I am way late on the draw with this one. I actually thought this was based off of the video game and that would INDEED suck. Instead, it is a kick ass flick that makes Crouching Tiger and Hero look like flaming piles of shit in a German fetish movie. Ok, maybe that is a little much, but from what I saw in its dark, poorly shot glory two months ago it was pretty good. That and I need my subtitles. Once I get money to buy a region free DVD player, I will buy a copy from YesAsia. See, I'm against piracy! I just think the RIAA and MPAA can eat my ass. With all they gouge from us in the theaters and record stores, they should really shut the fuck up about piracy. I think Americans deserve a free download for every movie they have had to sit through with Tara Ried, Michelle Rodriguez, Heath Ledger or ANY rapper not named Mos Def. Pay what you owe, bitches cuz The Revolution is back.

Now, for the two or three ladies that read this site (Beth excluded because you sure as hell better not be drinking) read this article. I'll wait. Did you read it? Not glance I mean READ it. I'll wait again. Finished it? Okay, here goes. NO FUCKING SHIT. I have been saying stay away from Spring Break since 1999 because that shit is stupid and dangerous. Now it is officially science. Science has my back, ladies. Who has yours? Let's recap some of this article:

More than half said they regretted getting sick from drinking on the trip. (That's everyone though, male and female. Can't hold it against you)
About 40 percent said they regretted passing out or not remembering what they did. (I have said it once, I will say it again: THERE IS NO REASON TO DRINK UNTIL YOU BLACK OUT. None.)
10 percent said they regretted engaging in public or group sexual activity. (You know why Solid Snake only holds one gun at a time? Because you lose accuracy when you fire two at a time. Lara Croft should take a note, and so should you. More than one wang at a time is not cool unless you are getting paid handsomely for it. And I know it didnt say at once but lets face it, thats what they mean.)
13 percent said they had sexual activity with more than one partner. (Hey, get your freak on if you want. Just remember, the crap in health class about having sex with everyone that person has had sex with? You are now officially a statistic. Men and women, dudes are just as dirty.)
More than half were underage when they first drank alcohol on a spring break trip. (Now this shit is just sad. Not because I am against underage drinking because I really dont care what kids do anymore. I just wonder when you are 14-18, what in the fuck do you need to drink for? The real world hasnt crushed your dreams yet. Adults need to drink to shut up the voices in their heads and the voices of their bad-ass kids. Kids who drink need their ass whipped. Like my grandma said: ain't a problem some Crown and a beatin' cant fix.)

In closing on this, women the proof is out their. If you are gonna drink (which you shouldnt) do it in a safe enviournment and for gods sake if you don't know him, don't fuck him. It's just that simple. Like Jermaine Stewart said:

You dont have to take your, clothes off. To have a good time. No-oh.
You can dance and party, all night.
But dont drink any cherry wine cuz odds are a frat boy or swarthy forigener spiked it. Uh-huh.

New Bleach, fool! I was going through withdrawl for a minute, needed my Kon fix. Kind of a story slower of an episode, but more has still gotten accomplished than in DBZ. For those who STILL havent seen it, you can still get on the action. It's 71 episodes deep, though. Gonna take a bit to catch up but it's worth it.

So, it's time for What The Chachi Likes. You know what I have been digging lately? James Blunt. And I dont fucking know why. He's okay, but he's not great. But I have been listening to the album for a few days and I likes it. This is the video for High. I have never seen it, but I dig the song. Check it out:



The second thing is BoA. You have seen the videos for Love Bug with M-Flo and La La La Love Song (remix is better, I will post that here in a bit) and I must say that Miss Boa Kwan rules. Her new album came out last month and I spaced on ordering it. the kick ass thing is that it is only 11 bucks and has free shipping at www.yesasia.com so its actually cheaper than buying that new L.L. Cool J or whatever the kids listen to now days. Anyway, here is her new single from the Outgrow album, Ready~Butterfly. Check out the krumping. I'm not fan, but it's BoA so it's cool.

More BoA, for my sake.

That is a pretty young lady right there.

Peeps, today is your lucky day because you get TWO updates! I will drop some more bitching on you in a bit, I gotta run to Castle Rock and reportedly its snowing. I still say fuck the weather people. So until then, stay up peeps.

Chachi out.

Filler Day! Filler Day!

Been a busy day, so the update will be a all about the filler. That means videos and music for the peeps! I know, you don't have to thank me.

First off, I know most of ya'll aren't baseball fans, but I used to be. And it it saddened me yesterday to find out that Kirby Puckett died after complications from a stroke. I was a HUGE Atlanta Braves fan, and Kirby used to make the hair on my neck stand up because of his heroics in Game 6 of the World Series against the Braves in 1991. In undoubtedly the greatest World Series ever played, Kirby Puckett put the Minnesota Twins on his back and willed them to victory in that game and they went on to win a CLASSIC Game Seven in a duel between Jack Morris/John Smoltz. Despite the feeling I had in seeing my team lose, he still was a great player. I am sad to see him go. May you rest in peace, Kirby.

Geez, I really don't like talking about sports unless it's about the Mike Vick Experience. So, I got the samples of the Dave Chappelle's Block Party soundtrack and WHOA. They need to bring back the Smoking Grooves Tour NOW. That is a purchase I will happily make when it comes out next week. Even if you arent a rap fan, I suggest giving it a listen. This is Boom with The Roots and Big Daddy Kane. Good stuff.

Alrighty, I have a lot of saucy J-pop ladies on the site (Kumi Koda, Yuki and Coco from Bennie K, Namie-chan) so here is something for the female demographic. L~Arc~en~ciel is a J-Rock band that I knew of but didnt really listen to all that much. Then I heard Driver's High from Treat Teacher Onizuka and I was stuck. This video is for Flower, a song I dug because of the Goo Goo Dolls type sound. It's also the ending for Chobits (HELL YEAH, FOOL!) which makes it even better. Ladies, get your bishie on.

Not gonna lie to you, I like Hyde's vocals.

OMG! OMG! Speaking of Chobits, this is another performance from the Anime Fusion Tour with Yoko Ishida! Not sure where it was filmed, but it still kicked ass. Here is Let Me Be With You, once again Para Para style. Oh, and its the same dancers. Yummy...

Oh, I HAD to post this. There needs to be a show where you can do karaoke of J-Pop songs. I would SO win that bad boy. These ladies aren't half bad, either.

Man, that would so kick ass to have that here. Guess I'm just not as cool as I thought I was. For those of you that watch anime (I would say half of my 4 visitors do) check out REC. It's short for those with no attention span (Griff, I'm looking at you) and has a kick ass opening theme. Check it out, its called Cheer, but I havent the slightest idea who sings it. Little help?

Say hello to my new ringtone ladies and gentlemen. Well, it is official. Shakira, you are on notice: YOU ARE DAMN FINE. I love you more than I love applesauce. And I loves my applesauce. Now, work on the bleating goat with a hernia singing voice and we can go out for a nice brunch and get to know eachother. I saw the video for 'Hips Don't Lie' last week and she is right, they don't lie. You know what Shakira's hips say? El Chachi es muy bueno.

My god, woman. There is no need for all that. Forget the war on terrorism and the war on drugs. We need a war on Shakira. She is a controlled substance and needs to be stopped.

I'm your pusher, peeps.

Lastly, I am leaving the Douchebrawl 2006 Polls open until Friday for more people to join in. I want to have it coincide the beginning of the NCAA's as to not get sued, but I want more peeps to join The Revolution. Also, I am going to change the layout of the blog and website in a bit. The Revolution has to be fashionable and hip. I am putting videos up for download on the website, mainly the Anime Fusion Tour clips and the outtakes of the Pirates & Ninja movie. I am going to film commentary for it at some point so it should be up soon. The Fusion Tour videos has gotten a lot of demand so they will be available for download hopefully by the end of the night. Well, stay up peeps and I hope you enjoyed filler day. Oh, and here is some Milk Chan for Griff.
