The Human Centipede

Have you heard of this madness? It's a very, very stupid movie that came out recently (I think? Might be on sale I don't know. I got it online.) and features a mad scientist who has a crazy idea. His idea is to connect 3 humans together to form a human centipede. How would he do this you may ask? Do you really want to know?

I watched this the other day and found it to be an awful movie. Many will find it disturbing, and one of those train wreck types of moves that you just HAVE to see to say you did. I didn't find it disturbing really, but I did find the premise to be completely idiotic. I guess I've been a horror and gore fan way too long for something like this to make much of an impact on me.

So...this doctor goes out and abducts several people for his human centipede. HE is mad and has no conscience obviously. When he finds 3 people that have matching "tissues" he is ready to start his crazy surgery.

Oh yeah...the best part....The person in the front feeds the two connected to them. You see they are sewn together by the lips to the anus. They eat his excrement. Told you you didn't want to know.

Here's the trailer. All the actors are annoying:

Pamela Anderson PETA Poster Shot Down By Montreal


An odd story to be sure, but that poster was deemed "sexist" by Montreal officials. I suppose you could say that it depicts a woman as a "piece of meat", but it seems unoffensive in every way in the context that it is presented.

I must say she looks pretty good there. She must have visited www.quickweightloss.org, or they have a great air brush. She has looked sketchy the last couple years in undoctored photos I have seen. She is the Queen of plastic surgery though so that may have helped ;).

"We, as public officials representing a municipal government, cannot endorse this image of Ms. Anderson," Josee Rochefort, an official in charge of issuing permits in Montreal's TV and film office, said in an email to PETA.

"It is not so much controversial as it goes against all principles public organizations are fighting for in the everlasting battle of equality between men and women," the email continued.

"In a city that is known for its exotic dancing and for being progressive and edgy, how sad that a woman would be banned from using her own body in a political protest over the suffering of cows and chickens," Anderson told Us Weekly. "I didn't think that Canada would be so puritanical."

A PETA official said the Canadians were confusing "sexy" with "sexist."

Fifth Mel Gibson Tape Claims He is Broke

While it is possible he isn't hurting for money as he claims, but he is certainly a broken man in the eyes of anyone that listens to him in these rants. His career is likely in dire straits, although since he owns enough he could still pop out movies if he really wanted to.

This 5th tape is probably the most disturbing. Not because he uses racist rants, but because he is really quite mad. His anger is so intense that you expect him to have a heart attack in the middle of it. It is scary.

In her defense, Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his eight-month-old daughter remains rather composed listening to the insane banter of Gibson. She says many times that he is violent, and that it is his fault while he blames her for all of his troubles.

These "troubles" he claims are financial and that it is her fault. Saying he spent way too much money on her, that she was a failure, and even that she was a terrible mother. She defended herself admirably in the ridiculous situation she was in. Gibson is OUT OF HIS MIND and could use some herbal phentermine at the very least.

This guy is scary.

Grigorieva Denies Releasing Mel Gibson's Racist Rant

We were all treated to an expletive riddled rant from Mel Gibson Friday directed at his former lover Oksana Grigorieva. He called her every name in the book and degraded her in as many ways as he could think of to shout at her over the phone. he even capped it off with some racist expletives that has upset quite a few out in the world.

Today, Grigorieva denied that she released the audio tape of Gibson's rants although speculation was that she was the only one that could have. Following the tape's release, Gibson's talent agency dropped the star, reportedly for being a liability.

Caught by paparazzi photographers running errands this weekend, Grigorieva tried to stay mum on the subject, saying that details "will come out in the right time."

Grigorieva told photographers from gossip website X17online.com that she had "no idea" who was releasing the tapes to Radar and that she thought it was "terrible" that the audio had gone viral.

When asked if she had meant for the tapes to go public she said, "Not at all."

Gibson has little work coming his way I'm guessing, so don't be surprised if he is in some sort of apidexin scam in the future.

Remember Studying For the SAT?

My sister just got done with high school and she had all the fun of taking all the college entrance exams and the infamous SAT. While it has been a while for me I remember one thing that wasn't done when I was taking it. WE didn't have a whole lot of sat prep courses available to us. I don't know if it was just poor counseling at our school, but I am pretty sure I went into that test completely blind.

These days it isn't so awful for SAT practice testing. You can go online and find tons of SAT prep courses to help get prepared for it (I was in early internet days where all there was to do was e-mail and chat :-/). I don't remember even taking the SAT to be honest. I only remember taking the ACT. I did a pACT which is a practice test once before it and then I took the ACT a few weeks later.

Must be nice having all this available now for studying. It certainly would ahve helped us when we were taking these tests.

Agency Drops Mel Gibbson Hours After Audio Rant Released

The expletive filled, Mel Gibson racist rant was released early Friday afternoon, and the backlash has already started. Just hours later his long-time agency dropped him from their client list for fear of embarrassment of being tied to him.

On top of this Gibson is currently being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department over allegations of domestic violence towards his former girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva.Not much of a stretch after hearing the tape I'm sure. Looks like Mel will be bargain hunting for cheap health insurance soon.

Just last week Gibson’s agent of more than 30 years, Ed Limato, passed away.

“It is rare for William Morris Endeavor to dump an actor with such an A-list, high profile – but after they heard the tapes they probably would have realized her committed career suicide,’ said Hollywood Image consultant, Michael Sands. “It could have destroyed the agency’s image to have kept him on board.”

Mel Gibson Racist and Offensive Rant Audio Released

It was only a legend up until a few hours ago. Now it has been released wordlwide for everyone to hear. A recording of Mel Gibson spewing some very offensive remarks to Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his love child. Only place you can hear this right now is here. (Warning: may be highly offensive to some users. Graphic and racist language is used.)

If Mel Gibson wasn't hated enough already, this certainly will put another nail in the coffin. There is no hiding from this one as it offends everyone under the sun. He won't have any work except hawking noxycut on infomercials by the time this over. From African Americans, to any woman. It is impossible to describe. They list the audio in text form at the like above too if you can't listen to it right away although you have probably seen that already. Listening to it just makes it all that more obscene.

Lebron James LEaving Cleveland Makes People Mad (Especially Dan Gilbert)

There probably isn't a bigger entertainment story this week than the Lebron James decision on what team he is going to sign with. This is by far the most publicized free agent move in sports history. Lebron James had a 1 HOUR special last night to reveal where he was going to go. It was the Miami Heat to join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh to form a Dream Team.

Nobody is more upset than Cleveland fans, and I can't blame them. They feel betrayed, and really I would be upset if a player like this left my home team. Fans must feel like someone died. They are all gonna need a healthy batch of diet supplements after their bouts with depression.

Cleveland Cavaliers majority owner, Dan Gilbert seems to be as upset as anyone about Lebron's "desertion". He released this statement to the media today:

Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

Dan Gilbert
Majority Owner
Cleveland Cavaliers

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Trailers Out

I can't hide the fact that I am a Harry Potter nerd. By far my favorite books in the last decade. I have them on audiobook with Stephen Frye reading them and listen to them over and over and over. They are like my Catcher in the Rye...>:)

I haven't really enjoyed any of the movies. They just can't capture the true feeling of the books for me. So many things get left out, and most of them are things I think are important. Like Dobby turning into Neville....ugh wish someone wuould kick him wiht their kamik rain boots.

I think the worst thing about the movie is how they portray Dumbeldore though. In the books he's so funny. Great sense of humor, and always light. In the movies he is way too serious and has no real personality. I don't like it.

So...if Dobby=Neville...what is gonna happen at the Malfoy's in this one? They gonna skip the entire scene? Probably. Not sure how Neville is gonna get in there, or they will just make something else stupid up that makes no sense I'm sure. One of the most emotional parts of all the books is during this part so I hope they do it instead of skipping over it.

Deathly Hallows is gonna be a 2-parter so they should get a lot of it,b ut there is no chance to get everything I deem important. Not a chance they can capture the epic journey of our 3 heroes sufficiently, but what are you gonna do? Probably now watch it...lol

Here's the latest trailer:

Get Him to the Greek Review Positive

It's always great when a comedy comes out with people you recognize as being in other movies you thought were funny. (ie. Jonah Hill the fat dude from Superbad, Knocked Up, etc.). Certainly he will have weight loss success stories later on , but for now that is how I know him. Not by name.

I guess what I look for almost every time when I look for reviews on a movie is Roger Ebert. While I may not always agree with his tastes I almost always agree with his fairness, and his opinions on the movies he views. He seems to catch things that most other reviewers don't, and doesn't try to act like he is an art school nerd all the time. Well he does sometimes, but he at least makes his reviews understandable to people that hate those types.

He of course gave the movie high marks (3/4 stars):

There are really two movies here. One is a gross-out comedy that grows lyrical in its exuberant offensive language, its drug excesses, its partying, its animal behavior. The other movie, which comes into focus, so to speak, in the last half, is surprisingly sweet, and shows that Aldous and Aaron arrive at a friendship that has been tempered in the forge of their misbehavior. Both "Get Him to the Greek" and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" were produced by Judd Apatow, who does a nice line in gross-out comedies.


I really don't need anymore to be quite honest.
