The Day The World Ends

While I work on the various projects I have going on around me, I've started something new for myself. It's not going to be the sequel to The Box Set, but rather a unique animal. I call it The Singularity Project. If you've never read about Raymond Kurzweil's theory of technological singulairty, step your google game up for a minute and check it out. Hopefully, I won't be sailing alone on this ship. The goal of the sound is something like this: Ra Ra Riot + Neil Barrett fashion + Daisuke Maeda architecture with a dash of Yeah Yeah Yeah's, mixed in a Pharrell Williams bowl. Sounds gross, but I know it will go down smooth. Hopefully I'll have something by this summer. Keep a look out!

The Final Test

Today, we mourn the loss of yet ANOTHER pro wrestler. Former Intercontinental, European, and Tag Team Champion Andrew "Test" Martin was found in his Florida apartment dead, from "unknown" causes. I'm not going to sit here, as a wrestling fan, and be ignorant to the facts. Anyone who has ever watched wrestling knows what Andrew died from. From his hulking shoulders, to the acne on his back, and the bloated stomach that still somehow housed a six pack, Andrew knew the risks. he knew them when he was warned by the WWe and suspended. He knew them when he was subsequently fired from the WWE (after receiving a fairly large push) for failing another drug test. He knew them when TNA let him go as they were being investigated by the feds, and they felt his size was "questionable." Andrew was a hell of a performer; I enjoyed a lot of his matches. However, at what cost does enjoyment come? The industry as a whole was finally recovering from the Benoit incident, and you can see the cleaner, leaner bodies of these athletes starting to come to fruition. We finally had reason to believe that wrestling, of all sports, was finally starting to get its act together.

Then at 33, Andrew Martin set a whole industry back.

He has not been involved in the WWE for over 2 years. He has not been active in TNA for over a year. But he will be inexorably and unjustly linked to these two companies for merely being a pro wrestler. That is not fair. The man chose his own actions. He chose not to heed the advice of friends and his employers. As sad as it is, he made his own grave.

So let's celebrate the life of this gifted performer, but also free ourselves of the ignorance that follows such tragedies. Learn from his mistakes; forgive him, but never forget what he did.

Watchmen Review

Captain's Log
Stardate 309200916:43

Let me start by saying this: I have been enjoying comics since I can remember. It's a hobby I picked up early in life, one that I maintained with a healthy appetite for many years. As with most things childish, my lust for it waned as I grew older and advanced into cinema. However, there is always that feeling a comic book reader misses when you first open a fresh book and dive into a world at your own pace.

I say all that to say for the first time in my life, that feeling has translated to the silver screen.

Watchmen does an excellent job of recreating the feel of the original, with subtle updates and deviations from the original, to suit our lives. Directed by Zack Snyder (300, Dawn of the Dead), this vivid depiction of an alternate 80's New York tackles the very morality of human kind, and it's refreshing to see such a stance taken in a genre that would seem to like gravitas. As of late, these comics movies are some of the deepest and best pieces of work to hit the screen, period. Without giving too much away, the end statement is damning yet truthful, and as Dr. Manhatten says, you can't "condone or condemn" what takes place. The showstealer here is Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach, who narrates the movie and delivers his lines with such conviction you almost agree with him, even when he engages in questionable acts. Despite a few unnecessary and awkward sex scenes, the rest of the cast do their job, although I never found myself taking Malin Akerman seriously. Even during her one chance to win me over with her plea to Dr. Manhatten, she comes across as whiny and irritating rather than desperate and genuine. Overall, the captain gives this film 4 out of 5 ships; a definite must see for anyone who has a comic book wrapped in a plastic sleeve tucked away somewhere.

God Bless America

So for a while, I've been promising to update this thing every week with my choice of lady who I think is very talented and sexy and poised to become something bigger in the coming months. i've been slacking, trust me I KNOW THIS. Today, however, I've found the hidden gem. Her name is America (yes) Olivo. You may recognize her from the mega-succesful girl group Soluna, which had a cup of tea at the Dreamworks Recods offices. She graduated from Julliard, which will make Samuel L. Jackson happy to know that her most recent role in Friday the 13th didn't go to some rapper. She's gonna get her crazy exposure in the upcoming sequel to Transformers, so hop on the band wagon while there's still room!

Cheers
