Movie Review: Jonah Hex

As per my previous interest in this movie from a previous blog I got a chance to sit down and watch it this last weekend. How was it you ask? Well this was my basic reaction:

Wow, just...... oh my god........ I mean, wow........ did I actually pay money to watch that? Is it possible for a movie to be that bad, or did I just chemically react to cheap movie theater seating upholstery?

I don't like leaving movies, but if my buddy Darcy had said he wanted to leave at any point I would have said, let's go dude!

I'll sum the entire thing up with one statement: Other than one scene with two Gatling Guns mounted on a horse, Megan Fox was absolutely, hands down, without a question of a doubt, the best thing about this movie.

Take what you will from that, but for me, that's not a glowing recommendation.

I would not ever recommend this movie.

Conan's Mom

I've been busy lately getting ready for a move, packing my office has been as much work as I expected, and maybe even a little more. The plus side though is I'm getting a chance to watch some movies I just haven't gotten around to.

A few months ago I downloaded a Special Edition of Conan the Barbarian, a mediocre show at best, but it does have a few appealing moments that keep me coming back.

Over the last 30 years I have watched this movie numerous times but this last weekend is the first time I've noticed how hot Conan's mom was. Seriously, this was a truly epic MILF and if you've never noticed her either I'd suggest watching the movie again for yourself.

If nothing else it's worth it to see Arnie when everyone admitted he couldn't act (as opposed to the next 20 years when he still couldn't act, but nobody was willing to say it in public).

Vanilla WoW

I had cancelled my WoW account a while back but found myself missing my virtual home so started playing again last week. I started a couple new toons because my wife started a guild and needed a few more members and wanted to game with me.

I'm in no rush to level and get to end game content mostly because I find people turn into douche bags at end game and start booting people out of groups because they don't spend every waking moment online or don't have the best gear or whatever stupid retard reason people decide they have the right to ruin someone else's fun .... but I digress.

I'm taking my time in the early levels trying to do all the quests I can in the Vanilla WoW world and actually playing the instances as they were meant to be played: Deadmine's is a lot more fun in a group of 5 level 17 to 20s then chasing after some level 80 whose running you thru for gear.

Vanilla WoWs a great game better than Outlands and I think it may be just as much fun as Northrend. Take your time and enjoy it trust me once you hit level 80 you waste more time dealing with party melodrama then gaming so there's no need to rush there.

Deadliest Warrior Season 2

A new season of Deadliest Warrior is on, new warriors, new weapons, and a slightly new format.

The big problem I had with the show was the bickering between the "experts' in the respective fields; sure you're confident, but I'm not interested in thinly veiled aggression. It was to the point that the show was moving past the pseudo-documentary stage and into the reality TV drama that pisses me off so much.

Although they didn't remove it completely I am thrilled to say that it has been cut back and largely replaced with something I can deal with, grudging respect. In the last few episodes I have heard pretty much every team say something to the effect of "OK, that was cool, but take a look at this!" If you want me to believe these guys are actually professional then you have to deliver some professional courtesy, something they seem to now be doing.

They still haven't addressed all their experimental issues, largely ignoring scientific process, but I can deal with that for the most part as long as I don't have to listen to childish bickering. I also have to say I can buy into all their results this season, at least what I've seen so far.

I don't watch a lot of TV but I make sure I watch this every week; much to my pleasure the boy has become a fan as well, it's the only time I see him awake without his DS in hands. How can you argue with that?
