Basically, I am going to use this thread to vent. Why? Because I want to. There is a lot that I want to get off my chest, and it seems that voicing one's opinions to total strangers via the internet is the wave of the future, so why not join the public en masse?

Anyways, first installment.

It has been some time since I have watched a movie that has totally captivated me. I mean, from beginning to end, totally just grabbed me by the sack and did not let go. There have been many releases lately that have been apparent "must see movies," but I disagree.

A lot of people around my camp have told me, "Transformers 2 was awesome!" It was nothing more then an excuse for Michael Bay to digitally make things go boom, and crash. "Dude, the Hangover is the funniest movie ever." Apparently, "Dude, Where's My Car 2" was lost in translation for me.

Movies have gone the way of the video game; more concerned with how visually compelling something is as opposed to making the audience actually care about story and characters.

And that is what "grinds my gears."

... for those who are interested, yes, I had picked a different title, but since this is a PG-13 site, I went with something a little less profane.

Oh, look at you trying to be all hip and 'down the internet kids'. Do you think that by saying no one really cares, you're automatically boosted to the upper echelons of KMC coolness? Wrong. You apparently have an attitude problem.

I didn't 'diss' you, I pointed out how unnecessarily rude you were being. Because you were, if you read the first post again and your reaction to it you'll see what I mean.

I dont need to re-read it. I read it. I posted my feelings about it. and if we are not allowed to post our own opinions they why was this thread even opened?

Saw it. It was good, but Christian Bale is not right for Bruce Wayne/Batman. Also, the storyline of Harvey becoming Two-Face was skewed too far. Same issue with X-Men origins, which I did not like.

Glad to know you are entertained by drivel. Congratulations. The fact that you have to be high in order to be entertained by movies proves my point for me.

I thought Pearl Harbor was awesome.

It was shit, but the attack scene was pwnage.

I heard it was good. Thankfully television is not be bombarded (as much) by stupid reality TV, but have moved more to the hour-long drama thing. I am still not too keen on what is being offered by television, but there are the odd TV shows I will make a point to watch.

I will check out Dexter if I have a chance.

Well dude on the up side, Smallville is about to start season 9

For those who do not know me, which is a vast majority of you all I am assuming, I am in the US Army. I am currently on assignment to Afghanistan, and with little else to do but watch what movies and TV shows I have access to via external hard drive, I do a lot of reading and a lot of working out. As I was reading through the latest issue of Muscle and Fitness that we received, I came across something rather interesting to say the least. It is called the LFL. The Lingerie Football League. I am not joking. Official Site

With a tagline of True Fantasy Football, it is taking the idea of Sex Sells to the Nth degree. Now, don't get me wrong, I am just as red blooded as any other heterosexual male on the planet. I do find women attractive. But, the LFL is nothing more then the equivalent of women in the WWE; eye candy. And, don't they already have that in professional Football? I believe they do, it is call cheerleaders.

Bottom line is I get the point. Women playing sports with the chance of clothes being ripped off at any moment is sexy, but I can see just as much reading a Maxim magasine. Or I can see more in a porno with equally as attractive or even moreso. Good job catering to the primitive male mind. Any man with self-respect will not watch, and any self-respecting woman would not participate.

Glad to see you Mr Smallville sir

I love that you've been honest about how you feel, but I have to admit it's catering to an occasionally primitive female mind here as well. That chick, No.7 - hot

I am the first to admit that the majority of the females in the LFL are attractive, but that is not my point.

I was thinking it over today, and it dawned on me just how many abbreviations the Military has for, well, just about everything. Here is a list of some:

OpSec - Operational Security
HUA (pronounced, and sometimes spelled, Hooah) - Heard, Understood, Acknowledged
FOB - Forward Operating Base
CBRN (referred to as See-Burn) - Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear
HMMWV (Hummvie) - High Mobility, Multipurpose, Wheeled Vehicle

... how Hummvie came from that, I have no idea.

And, the worst thing of all, is people make things up all the time. Radio communication has certain protocol that is supposed to be followed. Rather then saying NINE, you say NINER. And there is the phonetic alphabet as well. I would post that, but if you are interested I am sure you can look it up. But, sometimes when I am working and my TOC (Tatical Operation Center. Pronounced "TALK" personnel will request a favor from me, and when I accomplish the goal they requested, they reply with "TANGO," which is the phonetic alphabet "T." Really, that means nothing at all. But, it is slang for "Thanks."

I understand the reasoning for abbreviations. It makes things easier for the most part. But, at the same time, there is a veritable cornucopia of acronyms and abbreviations in the military already, why make more? Especially when TANGO takes just as much time as THANKS does to say. To me, it makes as much sense as the nickname Charlie for somebody named Charles. Both have the same amount of letters and syllables in them.

And that is what grinds my gears.

Charles/Charlie is based soley on the fact that one is more "proper" than the other. It's not a shortened nickname.

"Smallville" doesn't grind my gears. It tears them apart piece by piece. Terrible, terrible show.

I disagree.

man! that happens on a lot of fields, taxi drivers, insurance companies... it annoys me I cannot understand what they mean

it 'grinds my gears' too... for whatever that means

Well, I disagree with your argument that Charlie is not a nickname for Charles, but more just a "less proper" version of the name. The very definition of a nickname is:

A familiar form of a proper name, as Jim for James and Peg for Margaret

Therefore, your entire debate is flawed. Also, your misspelled "solely."

Apparently, "Dude, Where's My Car 2" was lost in translation for me.

wait there's a dude wheres my car 2?! since when?! i gotta see it..

Today, I was privy to a wonderful song. It is a song called "My President is Black," by Young Jeezy. Yes, I promise, this is true.

I understand why a rap "artist" would go to the lengths of writing a song celebrating the fact that the trend has been broken, and an African-American has been elected to Presidency, but to do so in the fashion that he did makes a mockery of the entire situation. To explain further, here is a few select "highlights" of what I am trying to address:

The Chorus...

My president is black, my Lambo's blue
And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too
My momma ain't at home, and daddy's still in jail
Tryna make a plate, anybody seen the scale?
My president is black, my Lambo's blue
And I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too
My money's light green and my Jordans light grey
And they love to see white, now how much you tryna pay?
Let's go!

Now, not a lot of people speak Ebonics, so allow me to translate.

Barack Obama is the first Black president. Horray!
I drive a Lamborghini (blue, in case you were wondering) because there is a plethora of impressionable, poorly educated people who listen to Rap music for the "rockin' bass" and it really doesn't matter what I say, so this line makes no sense.
Also, since you idiots pay $20 a pop for one of my albums, I make enough money to spend on rims to match my car. Yeah, that's right. I have nothing better to do with the amount of money I make from selling this tripe, so I spend it on accents for my car that make it look pretty and nothing more. I will go so far to look "cool" to the public at large to spend thousands of dollars on rims; which, in turn, makes the fuel economy on my car lower, causing me to spend more in gas, and therefore adding to the ruining of the environment.

I would continue mocking the chorus, but it would take me forever to do so.

The rest of the song is pretty much bashing George W. Bush, saying that we needed somebody to save us from him. If he was really that bad, why did he get elected for a second term? You can blame whoever you want to, but he was re-elected. Obviously he was doing something right.

In conclusion, yes, I am proud that the ideals set by history and that we have elected somebody who is not a white male, and I will keep my opinion to myself about what I think of President Obama and what he is doing as president. As far as this "song" is concerned, I have an opinion. I am glad that those who are in the limelight completely understand that they are role models to the youth of today, and take the responsibility seriously.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is what is pissing me off today.

Today, I would like to talk about Megan Fox. I recently was privy to the latest movie starring Megan Fox, entitled "Jessica's Body." Now, before I get into the proverbial meat and potatoes of my rant, I would first like to mention just how horrible this movie was. I am personally humored by the "Horror" genre, as most scary movies are not scary at all. But, this was a cross between a comedy and a horror movie. It was neither funny, nor scary. It was poorly written, and just plain stupid.

Anyways, getting back to Miss Serious Actress, she portrayed the title character in this steaming pile of cow dung. Jessica, who is dragged away from a bar by an up-and-coming band "Low Shoulder" after said bar caught on fire, and attempted to sacrifice her in order to become wealthy and popular. However, they find out she is not a virgin, and she becomes more demon and less High School tart.

Now, to the reason I hate this woman. Granted, she is attractive, as are most leading ladies in Hollywood cinema. But, I read an article that she was approached to play the next Bond girl. She turned the role down, claiming she wants to be known for her acting abilities, rather then as a face or a body. Sorry to disappoint you, sweet heart, but you will never be known as anything more then the average adolescent/20 year old male's wet dream. The fact that you want to be known for your acting, and then you play the role you did in your recent "masterpiece," shows that you have no ability to make judgment calls.

Bravo, Megan Fox, you ain't smart much.
