Wanted

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 14:42:21 -0800

so.....

just watched it... besides some pretty cool computer graphics i found the story to be pretty....lame? and a lot of the stuff they did/survived virtually impossible..

A lot of people were pretty enthousiastic about this movie, am I the only one that disagrees?

comments please!

edit: by virtually impossible I mean that they haven\'t even taken the time to make you believe it\'s possible in the first place

Holy crap I\'m excited!

I just saw this! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844760/

After the second one, I was willing to take anything with production values that didn\'t use light bulbs flashing as muzzle blasts.

Looking for a game

Mon, 19 Dec 2005 05:26:20 -0800

I can\'t find the name of an old game that, as I remember correctly, was for the SNES.

It was a 2D top-down shooter much like Total Carnage where you could select a couple of strange fella\'s with nifty guns. One of them had big glasses (scientist like), I think he had the blue color. Another looked like sherlock holmes. If I remember correctly there were 4 to choose from.

Goal was simply to move through the level, shooting monsters and the likes, collect keys etc etc

The name Ocean always comes to mind although I\'m not sure.

Questions bout Nintendo DS

Wed, 30 Nov 2005 08:02:26 -0800

I recently acquired a Nintendo DS (Wifi version) and was wondering if anyone knew how far the \"zone free\"-ness of it goes??

I know that technically you can import japanese games and play them on a european DS but I haven\'t checked. Anyone know this for sure if it works??

Also... does that mean the Gameboy (Advanced) games can be played too? The DS self is zone free but they never mention the games so can you play a US or Japanese version of a gameboy (advanced) game on the DS with no problems??

Finally, WIFI connection in Belgium... wheeeeeeeeere???

If anyone can help with these questions Id be glad.

Thanks

The thanks people get for help....

His name is Blonde... James Blonde!

Fri, 14 Oct 2005 12:32:07 -0700

So I take it everyone has heard that the next James Bond will be played by British actor Daniel Craig. Fair enough, the Bond we know is British too. But the Bond we know isn\'t blonde, Daniel Craig is. Reflections?

Serenity / Firefly...

Sun, 02 Oct 2005 17:38:09 -0700

I was never so astounded by such a great movie.

I felt actual real fear. Not that BOO! around the corner shit. I feared the Reavers.

It was easily the best movie I\'ve seen in years. Graphics better then Star Wars. Great story, Sci-fi, action, humour, sadness...

I am demanding that everyone go see it. Anyone who has not reported back here in 2 weeks will be banned. And I am serious. :\\

Tue, 23 Aug 2005 15:22:33 -0700

Should be quite good if your into the sort of music being played.
Killers, Modest Mouse, Msi, and Him should be awesome to see in concert...The Doves....not so good, but oh well.

Marktrock 2005

Tue, 16 Aug 2005 04:54:22 -0700

Here my report of how marktrock 2005 was for me.

-Saturday 13 aug.
First band we saw was yevgueni on the \"hoogeschoolplein\".
Don\'t really remember too much of it, but that means it wasn\'t too bad neither. Then we wandered around a bit, to go back to the \"vismarkt\" (<-- place to be ) and saw Nid&Sancy. Wow, that was so frickin\' awesome! Great mix between house, dance and electro, had a great time there...
After that, JANEZ DETD! (this is why vismarkt is the place to be: rock, metal, punk and electronic, but only the good electronic stuff)
They rocked! Crowdsurfed about 5 times from around the middle of the crowd, so thats about 100M each time. =D
The security at the bar started to know my face, and they actually let me stay behind the bar for a minute to talk and stuff, so I saw janez detd from about 2 meters away! :eek:
Nice moshpit btw.

after that, our intentions were to stay there to see ultrasonic 7, but they were boring, and we left to grab something to eat, and afer that went home

-sunday 14 aug.
The famous \"oude markt\". Riddled with caf?\'s, its generally leuvens centre and hart for going out, and its the only stage where you actually have to pay.
The line-up was great that day, so we entered the oude markt at about 3-4 o clock.
First 2 bands were bland, stash and arsenal.
Then the \"marktrock tribute band\". They pretty much sucked too, but it was a gig of lots of close friends of one of the leading organisators, that made marktrock what it is today. He passed away during the year, and it was a tribute to him.

Then, ZORNIK!
They really are great live! The singer looks a little girlpants, but he\'s very talented!
It was the bassist\'s birthday that day, so yeah. \\m/
Great drums too.
Me and my best mate where up front in the middle about 20 metres from the bar, and it was raining like hell, but t was well worth it! Plus the rain added up to the \"atmosphere\". Great, great gig! :tup:

After that, the freestylers came. Expected them to be a great party, and they were, like, the first 10 minutes. Then they just became repetitive and dull. To make everything even worse some female guest singer (the voice behind \"push up\") came and ruined it all with screaming our ears out.

And then...
Finally...
The Sound Of Ti?stooooooooo! 8)
The first beat was enough for everybody and everything to move. It was magical! Awesome vibe.
I expected it to be the semi-sucky would-be trance he produces himself, but it was full out trance! Never partied like that before!
Then some of our (female) friends started thinking \"why wear clothes?\" and before I knew it I was dancing with girls in bikini\'s!
And wow, I didn\'t know them, but they even knew my name! Don\'t know how, from where, and it was dark with great lightshow, so I didn\'t get tooo much of a look of their face but I didn\'t recognise them...
Anyway: 8):tup:
Then he stopped, more than 13.000 people where simultaneosly shouting \"we want more\".
What a rush!
Ten mniutes of us begging got him to return.

Best party ever!

-Monday 15 aug.
I was quite tired, and only got out of bed at 1 o clock. Had to do some little jobs for me parents, and at about quarter to five I sat down in the couch, thinking I\'d better start getting ready to go again. I ask the time... HOOOOLY SHIIIT!
Moms brought me with the car.
No stinking bus no way!
On to the vismarkt for an entire day!
I missed X!nk, a childrens rock band. But don\'t be fooled, these youngsters know what they\'re doing!
I met someone who saw them. An older guy, he\'s a trucker, has the blubbiest beer belly ever, very very very long hair and he listens to the ancient \"hard rock\" bands like AC/DC, bodycount etc, and he told me if it wasn\'t for all the 10 year olds up front, he\'d look into *moshing opportunities*.
X!nk really is gonna make it when they grow up, I\'m sure!
SOOO, them, I didn\'t see...
Well, they were followed up by absynthe minded. Nice band, music is put together clean, but not my style.
Do respect them though, gotta respect any band that uses a contrabass instead of an electric one.
They did kind of ruin their own stuff with the violin and the electric piano...
Peter Evrard, however, rocked!
Not much to add. Hair hanging to his elbows, rock with lots of metal put in, headbanging, I was (pleasantly) surprised!
They also played a cover of nirvana, and put punk drums behind it. Very nice. I think the mosh pit became lethal at that point. =P
Satellite city then. They plain sucked and gave me a headache wich lasted the entire evening.
But hey, the reward was worth the wait: THE KIDS!!!
Nice classic punk, got everybody enjoying. Even the old grunts at the back!
Sven Van Hees, the last gig I\'d see of marktrock 2005.
It was this DJ making a techno/lounge mix, all the time, doing effects and stuff, and 2 other guys, one playing some sort of djemb?-drumset or something entirely with his hands. Very latino sound. The other guy was playing electric guitar, with an effects box. The total was very nice and relaxing, but didn\'t float my boat. It was supposed to be dancing music, but I really couldn\'t move anything while \"feeling\" the music, so the gig didn\'t really succeed. It\'d be great chillroom style music though!

Now, well, I\'m tired to heck, and a bit bored, still in a little bit of a trance of all the great times I had...

I did loose my GF over marktrock.
She was there only 1 day, and that was the second day (to see ti?sto). She was there with a few of her friends, I come up and say hi and I wan\'t to hug her, and she gives me this friendly looking but very mean \"I\'d rather not\" smile. She then just keeps talking to her friends, and acts as if I\'m nothing but air.
She had done that before, and said as an excuse it was her cyclus, but that was 2 weeks ago, so she can\'t be there again.
I conclude she really doesn\'t care about me, and as I come to think of it, she probably was ignoring me on purpose that other time.

So I just left... I just left to see my own friends. Had more fun in 5 minutes there than I had the first 2 hours with her and her friends.
I regretted it about a few minutes later, and about a half an hour later I send her an sms, saying I\'d like to talk to her, she replies \"wouldn\'t it be better to just talk when marktrock is over?\"
I replied \"oh well then. nevermind. everything.\"
I still kind of reget it but I can\'t control what she feels for me, and theres no good in pretending...

Hmm Interesting

Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, what did these 4 people have in common? Well they were all rockstars, they all had drug problems and they all died at the age of 27, now I dunno about you guys but I think thats pretty messed up. Is it just some crazy insane coincidence or is 27 like a cursed number or something? What do you guys think?

Band to check!

[pimp]

Woodrow!

Check them out! I might not be the most impartial source to give these guys credit (though they deserve it), since I sort of know the singer/guitarist, but still, they\'re pretty awesome! You can download their songs from the site, and I strongly advise you to do so. Sound quality isn\'t optimal (they\'re just rehearsal recordings); but all the better for it: download and you\'ll know what I mean

Constantine DVD...

Fri, 22 Jul 2005 11:01:17 -0700

Like I said before, I really enjoyed the movie. So I just bought the DVD the other day and watched the deleted scenes.

I have to say I\'m rather pissed off. Most of the deleted scenes were optional scenes. These optional scenes were a thousand times better than the ones actually used.

Plus during one of the optional scenes, Keanu Reeves shows more emotion (better acting) then all of his previous 8 movies combined. I was pissed that they didn\'t include it.

War of the Worlds

Mon, 11 Jul 2005 07:05:16 -0700

Just got back from the cinema, was wondering if anyone else has seen this movie yet. I thought it was overall very good, even though some facets of the story were a bit outdated. Cruise had a good performance but Dakota Fanning stole the movie, that little girl is unbelievable.

Revenge of the Sith

Sat, 21 May 2005 07:20:39 -0700

I\'ve already seen this flick twice, once on an imax screen and it definitly has it\'s finer and weaker points. Anyone else seen it, i think that III was far better than the previous installments.
