Bush Frustrated by level of public support in Iraq

Look. I ain't got nothing against America. Love America. Don't love the out of control federal government but love America.

How I feel about the invasion aside (I wasn't for it), but did they really think we were going to be welcomed with open arms over there? Seriously. I didn't need the CIA or years of military experience to tell me that. Imagine some war-mongering superpower coming over here to America and doing what we're doing over there.

And our fucking president is all "frustrated" now.

Mr. Bush, didn't you say something once in your first presidential campaign about how you wouldn't nation-build?

We could possibly be doomed.

The Hard Corps (2006)

Action heroes were a dime a dozen in the 80's. Around the mid-90's, the careers of the newer guys kind of fizzled out. Steven Seagal,of course and Jean Claude Van-Damme. I enjoyed Seagal's antics up until FIRE DOWN BELOW, but honestly was never a fan of Van-Damme.

The recent Straight To Video output of these once exalted ass kickers has sped up recently. Seagal, though, is by far just out for a fucking paycheck. His shit ain't even fun. He really doesn't do anything except point a gun at people and look fat while neophyte actors and actresses run around pretending they're in a real movie that might jumpstart a career as an extra.

Van Damme (this is his second film to be released in a few months) actually seems to be trying to act, bless his heart.

They actually seem to be spending money on his movies as well. Not a lot, mind you, but some.

THE HARD CORPS stars Van Damme as Phillipe Savauge, a Desert Storm vet in a VA hospital nursing some psychological wounds. He's handpicked by his military buddy to help bodyguard a "hard-headed" boxer named Wayne Barclay (Raz Adoti). Apparently, Barclay has pissed off a Suge Knight caricature named Terrell (Viv Leacock)who wants Barclay dead. That's pretty much the plot of THE HARD CORPS (title's even better now, isn't it?) and I won't ruin any other plot points in case you want to watch it.

The movie is cheap jack. The same war scene that Van Damme flashbacks to is repeated numerous times. He really doesn't even fight. There's some gun play but nothing spectacular. The supporting cast is halfway decent, with Vivica A. Fox (as Barclay's sister and Van Damme's love interest) second billed, but it doesn't add up too much. At an hour and fifty minutes, this shit is waaaaay too long. There is one good scene and, fuck it, I said I wouldn't say anything else about the movie, but I'm gonna ruin the one good scene for you. Here I go...

The Suge Knight's caricature's right hand man stabs a guy to death then rips out his liver and feeds it to some dogs. That's the best part. Because they actually show the liver.

The director, Sheldon Lettich, has had a working relationship with Van Damme for many years now (he was also second unit director on Josh Becker's THOU SHALL NOT KILL EXCEPT and directed the cable cult classic ONLY THE STRONG). He's a competent director which is why this is way better than most STV action films. But it ain't good. It ain't BLOODSPORT good, which I watched last night to combat the lameness of THE HARD CORPS.

Fuck a Studio!

Waiting on a Friend and other random thoughts.

There's a lot of things in this world to be thankful about. Believe me, I know the shits when I see them, too. The paths I've chosen though have led me to a lot of shitty people (and good ones as well, they know who they are).

You can't stay fucked up and aimless forever. Fucked up and professional, maybe, but not fucked up and aimless. I finally have a plan and the life I've been leading is strangling me right now because of aforementioned plan.

The state of the world is a given and gets more fucked up with each passing decade. We're moving into very scary times and most people don't even know it. Worse, they choose to ignore it.

Hitting the 30's and being surrounded by people 9 to 10 years younger than me is sobering. It's really scary that once I was like that. The folly of youth.

I'm ready to start a life and reconnect with my family. I'm glad I have great friends. People like Kenny, Chris, Shawn, Chris & D, Carson and Cat, Matt, Eddie and many others. A shout out to you all because you know who you are.

I need to watch RV. I hear it's really good.

Candice Rialson. Dead.

Apparently she died on March 31st of this year.

Most actresses nowadays do nothing for me. Nothing natural or appealing about them. Cookie cutter like everything else in the business.

Candice Rialson, to me, was the embodiment of womanhood I want to get with. Well, her and Barbara Hershey.

And now she's gone. Pretty young, too. Watch HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD tonight and remember.

Nice bit by Marty McKee below.

Johnny LaRue's Crane Shot: The Wonderful Candice Rialson Is Gone

BLOODFIST 2050

Synopsis: Alex Danko descends into the ultra-violent underworld of extreme martial-arts to find his brother's killer with the help of hardened Detective Ramirez and his brother's alluring ex-lover in this post-apocalyptic allegory of greed and revenge set in in 2050 Los Angeles.

Now I love me some allegory, especially post-apocalyptic ones.

No Don "The Dragon" Wilson, but it is directed by Cirio Santiago, a 70-year-old man from the Phillipines who aligned himself with Roger Corman years ago and who's beloved by anyone who likes cheap-jack action and women-in prison films.

I do fall into that category.

BLOODFIST 2050

Sunshine state of mind

So the 23rd of August is the day I move back to Florida.

Excited? Yeah. It's something new and while I've had a good time in Boone and met lots of good people, the place is driving me insane.

It's small. I don't have a car. The farthest I've been out of town since Christmas is Winston-Salem. There's really not much to do but drink, watch other people fight and fuck.

It won't be long before I hate living in Jacksonville but there's some amenities that'll sustain my excitement for awhile:

1) decent book stores
2) can actually see things like CLERKS 2 and THE OMEN if I really wanted to
3) Ye ol' dog track.
4) The San Marco Theater is showing midnight shows
5) The Melvins and Hank III are coming
6) The Fest in Gainesville is coming up
7) Ye ol' dog track
8) Getting my car on the road and actually being able to travel to such far-flung
places like Atlanta and Mobile (Carson and Cat, I'll be there soon. Just letting
you know).
9) Hanging out with my parents and helping them out. They ain't getting any younger.
10) The pup has a fenced-in yard and a pool to wade in
11) Ye ol' dog track

Kenny says we're going to go fishing too but he's been saying that for years. I'll believe it when my line's in the water.

I've spent a lot of time doing absolutely nothing with my life and figure it's probably because I'm undereducated and overly schnockered most of the time. I haven't been drinking much lately and it's probably because (a) I'm broke and (b) I really don't care to.

Last summer, I was drinking a lot. It seemed DJ Piss was over every night getting drunk with me (drinking my beer) and every day around 2pm I'd wake up with the worst fucking hangover. Things got better when I met Selina, but like Husker Du said, everything falls apart.

Drinking less and less though has made me dread the hangover more and more. Enough that sometimes I just say, fuck it, I ain't drinking. Getting older and not having much to show for it kind of does that to you.

But as soon as I make something of myself here in the next few years, I'm tying it back on.

Life is way too short to stay sober forever.

Could you be a war prisoner one day?

No words necessary.

Fuck The Geneva Convention

Fuck 'em all

Everybody's reporting on Lieberman's loss. He deserves it. Check out Reason Magazine's Tim Cavanaugh farewell to Joe and some links to why this career politician so richly deserved his defeat. Now he has the balls to run as an independent for fear of losing the gravy train he's rode for 18 years.

It Begins with a Click...

...of a TV remote in a hotel room. And it can end with the click of handcuffs. That's the powerful message conveyed by a full-page ad in this morning's USA Today. Spearheaded by our friend and colleague, Phil Burress of Ohio's Citizens for Community Values (CCV), the ad calls upon the U.S. Justice Department to crack down on OnCommand and LodgeNet, two of the most notorious purveyors of hardcore pornography to hotel chains. The ad quotes respected scholars. Dr. Mary Anne Layden of the University of Pennsylvania Health System: "I have not treated a single case of sexual violence that did not involve pornography." Dr. William Marshall of Ottawa, Canada, found that 86 percent of serial rapists admitted to consuming hardcore porn. The USA Today ad, which FRC co-sponsored, calls for existing laws to be faithfully executed. The ad lists an actual on-screen offering that a traveler might see--some of the titles of which had to be blurred because they are so explicit. The idea--so prevalent in the seventies--that pornography is a victimless crime should be consigned to the ash heap of history. We are happy to note that the Washington Briefing, slated for 22-24 September, will be held here in the Omni Shoreham Hotel, a chain that participates in the Clean Hotels program of CCV.

My dad's most trusted news source

From last night's O'Reilly show:

"Iran is America's most dangerous enemy and is the force behind Islamic-fascism."

Got that? So we really fucked up by invading Iraq.

O'Reilly on religion:

"People always want to believe that there's a more powerful explanation for these things. It's not just something went wrong, or there's evil people in the world. They want to believe that somebody's more in control, even if it's somebody who they don't like. They want to believe that somebody's sort of pulling the switches back."

Actually, it's not. It's a quote from him talking with James Meigs from Popular Mechanics on his show. They're debunking 9/11 myths.

But I think he sums up how I feel about religion. Way to go, Bill.

Where The Seats Meet The Lawn: How Shitty Bands Attract Shitty People

From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

Arrest made in death at Korn concert

By RHONDA COOK
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 08/08/06

A 24-year-old Douglas County man has been charged with delivering a deadly sucker punch in a dispute over a ballcap at a heavy-metal concert, police said Tuesday.

Atlanta police and Douglas County authorities arrested Michael Scott Axley Monday afternoon on a murder warrant in the death of 30-year-old Andy Richardson.

A brief fight Aug. 1 between Richardson, Axley and "unknown others" happened where the seats meet the lawn at the HiFi Buys Amphitheater.

Richardson died Aug. 3 at Grady Memorial Hospital and his organs were donated.

According to friends who had gone with Richardson to the Korn concert at the former Lakewood Ampitheater, Axley and others were moving among the crowd, picking fights.

Earlier in the evening, Axley and others tumbled down a hill, crashing into Richardson and his friends and there was a brief scuffle, according to Bernice Averil, who was in Richardson's group.

A little later, the rowdies returned and one of them snatched Richardson's cap.

Axley allegedly punched Richardson in the face as he jumped to grab his cap Axley tossed back to him. Richardson's head hit the concrete.

It's the new shit, yo.

Welcome to SHOOT YOUR WAY TO FREEDOM. You're probably friends of mine. I feel sorry for you. You should've kicked me out of your life a long, long time ago. You're stuck with me now. Expect a visit soon.

I got tired of blogging at MySpace. It doesn't seem real. People read it, but I don't think they care. So I'll just do it over here. Which means if you did care, you'll follow me over here and appreciate the effort I make to educate you about crap those people didn't care about.

So visit often, tell your friends and comment at will. I'll be moving to Florida in a few weeks and will need all the moral support I can get. Not to mention you might learn something.

Fucking dummies.
