GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

I haven't really wrote much of anything of importance for a long time here, so, I thought I would write a little something.

Don't really come to TV.com a lot anymore. Well, since the redesign, cause it's terrible and I perfer the old layout, I still have active guides, I try to keep them updated regularly, but it's harder than it used to be. I try to update them weekly, I'm trying to get where I can do it daily. Maybe with my new schedule I have laid out, I'll be able to do that. I'm hoping that I can, but not crossing any fingers.

Now this has always been an entertainment blog, I never really delved into my personal life, because well, it's personal and who really cares? I'm hoping that you read this to escape and maybe have a couple of chuckles, or to maybe think how stupid I am, or even self-centered I am. Any of the three are fine by me.

I'm going to throw out some topics and give some short responses. Hence then name of the blog, "Random Shots."

Sports:

-Baseball: F*ck the Yankees, f*ck the Yankees, f*ck the Yankees. That also goes for the Dodgers as well. Go Cardinals.

-Football: I am no longer a St. Louis Rams fans, cause they really suck. So, I sprained my hamstring jumping on the Jets bandwagon and now they suck. So, I'm just simply a football fan now. Go NFL!

Basketball: Until St. Louis gets a basketball team I could really care less about basketball. Until then, just tell me when the playoffs start.

Television:

It's a wasteland of complete garbage, except for the shows I'm the editor for, they're epic shows that should be watched by all.

I've only recently started watching Mad Men and it's really good, I'm working my way slowly through the series and I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

Television is so bad, I'm actually working my way through old shows I've never seen. Recently it was The Office, the good one, from England, not the American one, that has a retard as the boss. After I get done with Mad Men, I'll be moving on to Fawlty Towers, which I've always wanted to see and now I have it and really excited about it.

Movies:

There's only one movie I want to talk about. It's The Hangover. What a piece of garbage that was. People were raving about how funny it was. Clearly, I must have seen some different movie than everyone else, because that sh*t wasn't funny. Not one bit of it was. Could someone please explain waht was so funny about it? And if you say Mike Tyson, I'll eat your children.

Music:

Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. Swastika. Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. Huh?

That's all I hear about music, I've never heard any of her songs, it's country music, so I avoid it at all costs. I might like her music if I give it a shot, since I like those girly songs, but I'm dragging my feet on that one. Everybody does have a line, ya know.

Other than that, music is in the same place that television is at, in the dumpster.

Video Games:

Modern Warfare 2 came out this week and EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY on my friends list is playing that. I wish I got it, not the game but the concept. I just don't like shooter games, because I become target practice for the mediocre players and that just takes all the fun out of it for me, so what's the use? It has to be fun, since everyone is playing it. I just suck at those games.

One game like that, I may get soon, is Left 4 Dead, it seems like an awesome game and it has zombies in it. I'm a sucker for zombies. So, Left 4 Dead soon, yeah, a year after it came out...I'm really on the ball on video games.

Now to the video games that takes up all my time...Rock Band 2. I play it all the time. As I stated previously on here, I'm addicted to those games. Since the last time we talked, I've beaten them all on expert (sans Guitar Hero Metallica and Smash Hits). Not a big Guitar Hero fan anymore, but I'm not blatant Rock Band fan boy either. After all, I do use a Guitar Hero controller.

My playing skills vary. I'm good on most songs, except for heavy metal. I eat my b*lls on those, on guitar, but when I play bass, I'm pretty damn good. Decent on guitar and I'm killer on bass. I'm awesome on bass. Recently started playing drums for those games and I'm getting it down, not that great, but not horrible.

One music game that recently came out was The Beatles: Rock Band. Being a dirty -expletive deleted- for both the Beatles and Rock Band, I had to get this on release day. And yes, while it was awesome, it quickly runs out of steam. Sometimes I pop the disk in to play Octopus's Garden or Here Comes the Sun, but then I want to move back to Rock Band and play China Cat Sunflower or Blue Sky. It's a great game, but it has a very little replay value, and this is coming from a die hard Beatles fan.

That's all I'm writing. You figure out the two songs that title are comprised of and I'll give you a cookie.

Until next time (year)...

I haven't written anything since last year (I've written stuff to post, I just haven't gotten around to posting it though).

So, I guess you can just say I'm checking in, letting everyone know I'm doing alright, not that most people actually care.

I'm also recommending one of my favoritest songs ever and it is "Apache" by the Incredible Bongo Band. Yes...Bongo...Give it a listen...You'll like it, because you've probably heard it before.

Long time, no see people. Now I'll just get this out of the way first, I got a couple editorships, if you really care to know what they are, I can't help you there. I can't keep track of them. I also recently saw that I'm now in the top 100 users here at TV.com. I thought that benchmark was nowhere in grasp when I first started stuff here. It's shocking actually.

As I'm writing this, I'm watching Prison Break (cause it sucks a big fat one). Shouldn't they change the name of the show by now, I mean...They aren't in a prison anymore. It's retarded if you think about it, much like the shows premise.

I've really cut down on my primetime show watching, there's only like five shows I watch now. With Pushing Daises cancelled and Boston Legal's last episode on Monday, that number is cut in half then and as you can tell, I'm on my last ropes with Prison Break.

The main reason why I'm writing is because...I no longer have an Xbox, it's currently in Mesquite, Texas being repaired. The other day, the picture got all fuzzy, I turned it off and when I went to turn it back on...Viola...No picture. The graphics card is fried. Hopefully it'll be back by the end of next week. I want to download Tempted for Rock Band 2 badly, and of course, my Xbox dies the day before it is released. Thank you Microsoft.

Song of the blog is "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" from The Life of Brian.

Until next time...Happy Holidays...Merry Christmas and have a happy new year.

Boxcar Bertha
Martin Scorsese's first major motion picture.

Even though the movie is an hour and half long, there are parts that drag and seem like filler.

The film doesn't get any better with age, it's very dated.

If...

Stick it
From the writer of "Bring It On", I know I would rather watch one of those movies again, than this.

The main character jokes about being cliche when she is nothing but cliche (she's very good though).

Maybe if...

Poseidon
Going into this I was expecting a big dumb disaster movie, but what I got was a really good film, and that surprised me.

The casting is extremely good, but if you're expecting a lot character development, you better watch another...

Broken Arrow
Somewhat of a disappointing action film considering whom the director is.

The storyline is really nothing new, and not too much is surprising. John Woo does offer some great shots of the desert though.

All of the bad guys...

Slums of Beverly Hills
Unlike most teen comedies (if you classify this as one) that came out in the late 90's, this film doesn't revolve around who's popular at school, or it doesn't end at a prom, in fact the only time school is mentioned is when they're moving. [+] Read Full Review
