Apocalypto


A review by joseph luster – class of 2016

I liked Apocalypto. It was a neat movie that you should see. It had some violence but is not as gorey as people will tell you it is (tho there is a part with a jagwire that is cool). Mel Gibson is not in it, but he should be. There are lots of colors in the movie, but most of them are the mayan people’s bodies.

I would give it a few stars!

Nugget’s Dream

Some of you may know of the mythical beast “Nugget,” also known as Patrick G. Sanders. He’s a veritable phenomenon, and has been featured in his own comic serial and myspace page.

Naturally, I hate him!

But still, I have always longed to figure him out; delve deep into his psyche and pull out all of the parts that are stupid or don’t work. Scintillating auteur Dave Deutsch beat me to it. His video, aptly titled “Nugget’s Dream,” takes us on a journey through the cobweb-littered hallways of our anti-hero’s mind. Please enjoy it with me.

I’m disappointed in Nintendo at the moment. I sent them a very enthusiastic email the other day regarding their new Wii console. The letter reads as follows:

Hi!
I have seen your new system in Nintendo Power, and I have some question(s). The most recent game I have played of yours is Zelda 2, which is neat. Are you making any games that are as fun as that one? How long until they are out and what are their names? My favorite good guy so far is Link, but my favorite bad guy is still Mouser.

Sincerely,
Joseph “Jammin’ Joey” Luster

For days, I anxiously awaited a response to this. Although I thought I knew the answer to my query deep down inside, I began to second guess myself. Are they making any games as fun as that one? What are their names? What started as something silly was evolving into a deadly serious affair. Notes lie scattered about my room; some are tacked to walls, but most of them are spread haphazardly everywhere else.

Then Nintendo replied. No, you know what? An automaton replied. I’m beside myself at this point, more vexed than angry. Their stiff, robotic solution to my problem was to provide a link to the very page from which I got their email address! Back in my younger days, these questions were Nintendo’s very foundation. If I wasn’t so strung out over this whole thing, I’d probably be pissed. Luckily, their cold response stated that I could reply to the message if my question remained unanswered. Well, bad sirs, it does.

Hello again, “Super” Nintendo!

A few days ago, I sent an email to you dudes (I attached it after this). Anyway, I searched the link you gave me, but I didn’t really feel like I could answer my question with all of that info! As they say in your TV games, “Try Again?” Haha.

Thank you!

P.S. Does Sega still say all those lies about “Blast Processing”? Sonic isn’t really that good and Mario is much cooler. I always have thought, NintenDOES what SegDON’T!

I’ll keep you guys up-to-the-minute on this one.

OK, Let’s Stand Up

Hello. It is the 106th entry on the 6th day of your Earth calendar’s month of December. I’m here, in typically grizzly fashion, to let loose a few breaths of import into the brisk air of the internet.

First off, I have to say that I’m pretty taken by Google Reader, and in a month’s time I will surely make a similar post in which I cite it as indispensable. I often forget to check a huge chunk of sites that I would otherwise like to keep up with, and lumping them all on one page is sort of like internet Christmas to me. I wouldn’t doubt it if you told me I was months and months behind on this phenomenon, and I would still be in the dark if I hadn’t checked Site Meter and noticed that Reader was used as a means of viewing this very blog.

Unless I am mistaken, this should be a portal through which you can inspect it.

Now for something even more crucial: this past Tuesday’s release of Project Pat’s post-jail epic, Crook by da Book: The Fed Story. After the intro, which follows one of his adversaries during their jarring realization that Pat has, indeed, been released from prison and plans to exact revenge on the snitches that have wronged him, we segue immediately into the feverishly paced “I Ain’t Goin’ Back to Jail.” From there, it’s an intense ride through many fully-realized worlds, including but not limited to the claustrophobic “Tell Tell Tell (Stop Snitchin’)” and the jubilant anthem “Good Googly Moogly.”

I could go on, but unless specifically requested to do so, I’ll stop here. If anyone would like a copy of this ground-breaking album, contact me. However, I will forever deny any consequent legal ramifications because, like Mr. Pat, “I ain’t goin’ back to jail.”
