The Pong Krell Saga

So I really can’t believe that they spent like four episodes on Pong Krell vs Clone Troopers.

I seriously think they could have done it one episode. Two was a bit much–four?! Seriously?

From the moment Krell stepped in the scene I knew that he had inclinations to the Dark Side and would be killed or would be used for an episode arc. Yet the story was more Clone oriented and the various Clones striving for individuality which I do like seeing but this rendition of it I think was too typical.

Yes, there was a lot of action scenes that were great but it seems that they’ve run out of ideas.

I’d like to see more of Palpatine, more Jedi Council, more classic Jedi from the Old Republic. More Chewbacca–possibly some Han Solo. Definitely more Ahsoka and Anakin–especially where Anakin truly teaches Ahsoka. I feel there is too much implied with the both of them.

Oh and let’s not forget Season 3 Episode 14: “Witches of the Mist” ending where Savage Oppress is told that Darth Maul is still alive(?)–”that both he and his brother had an important destiny to fulfill in the galaxy.” Why couldn’t we have episodes on that?

Or what Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka make of the occurrences that happened in”Ghosts of Mortis“

So hopefully we’ll get better episodes than the Krell saga. The Krell Saga is the The Twilight Saga (films) but for The Clone Wars. Madonn.

Turtlenecks

I’d have to agree with Diplo when he states:

The turtleneck is the most flattering thing a man can wear…because it forces a man to project himself.
 
Think it’s totally true.

Watching

There’s only a handful of things I still watch consistently.  Among them:

  1. Fringe
  2. Stargate Universe
  3. Star Wars: Clone Wars
  4. Justified

I’ve fallen out of the loop with “House, M.D.” …yet I’ve failed to sit and watch an episode–any episode for that matter since last year.

White Collar I liked and saw only 3 episodes–unfortunate.

Star Wars: Clone Wars I’m behind a couple episodes, but catching up.

…I wish “The Riches” was still on the air–madonn why did they have to take it off the air.

Weeds S04 E02

This episode was more of a slight return to it’s roots. There was the uncertainty of what was going to happen and what is going to happen with the DEA and other loose ends from Season 2…yes, there are still loose ends from then. Just one of the many frustrating things that made Season 3 of the show almost intolerable.

Season 3 was a detour of some sort and Season 4 hopefully will fix that.

Also no more little boxes theme song–it’s been done away with. Actually no theme song period. It’s very unoriginal and like, “What…that’s it?” When it was said that the series was going to be reinvented I thought it meant that. I have yet to see that.

The episode was decent–borderline decent. It was more of a ping-pong ball going back forth though.

Chinese Democracy

Funny how I came to stumble on the news about “Chinese Democracy“

My wife casually read the headline off Drudge:

“…blogger leaks…Guns N’ Roses album…um”

I in shock–disbelief as I was eating a sandwich replied, “Say what? Album leaked–Guns N’ Roses…you serious? Where?”

In spite that their last album came out when I was six years old, I knew who Guns N’ Roses were and I knew who Axl Rose was.

This was in a time when I was enthralled with Mozart and Beethoven, with Classic literature…also my early beginnings of love for Pop Culture.

I always thought William’s: ‘Axl’ name was rather curious. I remember back in 1998 having some screen names and an email with Axl in it as I did find it curious. I also remember insisting on people calling me Axl as a play on what my name abbreviated in English is. (If you’re smart you’ll figure it out…maybe)

Years later I still knew that the album was anticipated–and I remember the 2002 MTV Music Video Awards performance by them and the disappointment that followed thereafter.

So it’s surprising to see that the album is finished…and not so surprising that it has been leaked.

Notwithstanding the point was made:

“…the more that Axl and Geffen jerked around trying to figure out how to release this finally finished album that we’ve all been waiting over 13 years for, the greater the chances would be that it would slip out of a pressing plant or office somewhere and wind up in the hands of some asshole with a blog.”

Well, all I can say is…”Welcome to The Jungle”–that is the internet:

Viva La Vida Live

Since having gotten this song stuck in my head since I saw the Apple advert for it, I’ve wanted to see it performed live–or rather recorded live.

I’ve seen the MTV VMA’s performance. In which I am not sure whether it’s the recording, the microphone, or just Plain Chris Martin whom sounds slightly squeak-ish and nervous sounding at three parts of the song. It gets better but it doesn’t offset the those noticeable squeaks of the voice.

The performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live seems to suffer the same voice blemish afore mentioned, yet it’s a bit of a more lively performance as opposed to the MTV VMAs.

The one that’s on the money is the one done in Amsterdam (oh joy!) at the Paradiso. I believe that this is due to the fact that the it’s an old church and that the album was recorded inside various churches. Thus rendering the sound akin to that on the album:

August

Almost a month before the actual film premieres a DVDScr has popped up of August.

It wasn’t on any of the servers yesterday so I got a torrent of it and have been downloading it since 6 o’ Clock in the evening. I was getting a rather decent speed (on my current connection anyways) of 56kbps; now however it floats around 6kbps to 20kbps.

At one point I even got an error stating: “leeching forbidden; you can only seed.”

Which is utterly untrue as at that point my ratio was 1.52 and currently is 1.59.

I have only downloaded 548MB and uploaded a 875.3 after almost 16hrs and the movie’s size is: 714.9MB

I hope to have this soon…or some time tomorrow at least.
