PROMETHEUS' GARDEN (excerpt) - Bruce Bickford

chingalera says...

If you wanna see about 45 minutes of Bruce Bickford's schizophrenic claymation interspersed with some great concert footage of the Sheik Yerbouti tour (Terry Bozio/Adrian Belew) , check out Zappa's film, "Baby Snakes."

Words To Sift By

chingalera says...

His hits came fast 'n furious when there was music that make fun of itself so hard....His schtick is dated but he's ingrained in musical satire with all of the greats-

Short List that pops to mind from as many eras I can muster without google:

Rosemary Clooney
Betty Hutton
The Residents
Spinal Tap
Shel Silverstein
Mrs.Alva Miller
Garfunkel and Oats
Tom Lehrer
Jimmy Fallon
Louden Wainwright Jr.
Biff Rose (I cheated)

List goes on but my brain won't...

Fallon kills me with this;

Weird Al's never disappoints (except with ~75% of the tracks on each of his last several albums).

"And if thy right hand offend thee, Bruce Campbell."

The scene where Bruce falls down, hears a *crick* and looks up to see the deer head on the wall has come alive, it's eyes rolled over in white......and it starts laughing at him?

That imagery still freaks me out to this day.

Seth McFarlane Ridicules James Bond In His 1st Oscars Promo

My_design jokingly says...

Bond wants it watered down so it doesn't mess up his aim or his game.

You know what I'm saying...

with the ladies...

He doesn't want a limp dick because he's old and hasn't found viagra yet. And his shooting was already piss poor in the last film because he's gone all Bruce Wayne with out the magic knee.
Woohoo! 2 DC comics references in 1 day. On a roll people...On a roll.

Ninja Woman

chingalera says...

She's had martial training, you can tell from her form-She twirls the long staff well enough, has a well-oiled sense of her center, quite grounded-BUT, if she wants to be a Ninja she's needs to be able to scale vertical obstacles with only the texture of the stone and the mortar seams to hold on to.

the last 3 comments....Remember Bruce Lee? He was taught by the best (IpMan-Wing Chun styles) and his version of martial arts was an amalgam of several styles. He called it Jeet Kune Do and the Chinese purists were saying the same thing about his hybridized, eclectic form.

Y'all remember Bruce Lee right?

This chick would throttle most posers.

Everything Wrong With The Avengers In 3 Minutes Or Less

poolcleaner says...

Isn't that the Negative Zone? I'm fairly certain it works like however Marvel wants it to work. Sort of like the Power Cosmic. Stupid review judging it as a movie outside the bounds of comic book conventions.

Comics are silly, convoluted, and prefer form over function:

1. Thor and Iron Man are required to have pissing contests.
2. Sunglasses and eye patches make people without super powers look badass.
3. Banner on a motorcycle is a good juxtaposition against his Hulky-jump-through-the-air travel form.
4. Loki is a conceited god so the Iron Man delay works -- didn't this reviewer. already assess that Loki was there to convert and not kill?
5. Of course CAPTAIN AMERICA just jumped from a plane. Idiot.
6. Did he just judge the movie according the Captain America's silly costume? Idiot.
7. No lap dance? He wants to watch the Russian dude give Black Widow a lap dance? I'm confused.
8. Bad guys running laps happens in... most action films with bad guys that need to fill in some time and guide direction visually. Reeeaaaally dumb criticism.
9. Plasma screens? You'd prefer to see a cell phone and then a split screen with 4 other people on cell phones? WTF
10. Loki's scepter is also a space phone??? My phone is also a camera, GPS, medical adviser, blogging tool, gaming device, and if I could download an app that performed mind control, I would. Loki is a god so he can.
11. The hellicarrier was created by Jack Kirby. Fuck you, this is an Avengers movie.
12. Sweeping cameras may sound silly, but comic book logic dictates that this is fine. Why not?
13. His criticism of little girls being able to find Bruce Banner is a criticism of our emotional attachment to the Gavroche, not the Avengers. Is the mystique of a street smart urchin gone from our collective unconscious?
14. Hawkeye's virus arrow is perfectly executed and makes sense according to his abilities.
15. Thor being easily tricked by Loki using low brow tactics is true even in Norse mythology. What exactly are we critiquing here?
16. Loki's objective in being captured is partly him being an overly confidant asshole god. He's just sort of going around half cocked because he can and likes to do so. The gods aren't smarter than us, just more powerful and with magical abilities that trump technology. In fact, this means they don't need to try as hard and would definitely be candidates in the personality disorder department. Hell, for all we know they could suffer from intellectual disorders that would never have become an issue (aside from making them stupidly violent) considering their power.
17. Hawkeye versus Black Widow is not cool? Damn.
18. Fury also gave an intimidating death stare in Jurassic Park when Nedry's "Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word" security screen pops up. HOLD ONTO YOUR BUTTS. I liked the half reference.
19. If you have trouble understanding the powers of Mjölnir, why do you also complain about the plodding exposition?! These things require exposition and it's so arbitrary that it becomes plodding. Comics are FILLED with plodding exposition because of this and there's a point where you just have to know the characters. Do they explain superman's laser eyes in the movies? Actually... do they?
20. Black Widow is a weapons expert, including theoretical weaponry.
21. In the comics Hulk learns to control his powers and can even be intellectual in said form.
22. The alien invasion would do more damage than a nuclear bomb. These villains enslave entire worlds.
23. The ending requires homework??? THE ENTIRE SERIES OF MOVIES REQUIRES HOMEWORK.


That being said, I agree with a good number of the points:

1. The tesseract was a rebranding of the Cosmic Cube which has a long history in the Marvel universe. (So I guess this movie was made for comic book fans?)
2. Well lit facility. There should have been some sort of cloaking shield around it, which is perfectly acceptable in a comic book world, if not the real.
3. Cap's bet. I don't believe Cap would have done that because it isn't just.
4. Speaking in English to Germans. It would have been cool to hear him speak in German. Damn!
5. Hawkeye's arrow fucking up the hellicarrier. However, I could see this happening in a comic book, I just don't like it.
6. Captain America's ear piece and bad aim.
7. Tesseract mind control wearing off after blunt trauma.
8. Cap's super powers are kinda lame in these movies, but I'm sure if they weren't, then this review would contain criticism about how his human fists can smash through metal.
9. The aliens are a pretty shitty replacement for the Skrulls. This is what makes me the saddest.
10. Imiatating transformers... this bugged the crap out of me when I first saw the trailer. UGH!
11. Thor's lightning must have a long cooldown.
12. Yeah, it was pretty lame when the aliens died after they were cut off from the mother ship. Inferior to the Skrulls fo sho.

How It Should Have Ended: LOOPER

mentality says...

Another problem with the ending is that, in the original Bruce Willis' timeline, nobody goes back to try to kill the kid. The kid ends up growing up with his mother, and still becomes the rainmaker, meaning that his mother's positive influence did not matter. So it makes Gordon-Levitt's sacrifice completely meaningless.

Study Dispels Concealed Carry Firearm Fantasies

dystopianfuturetoday says...

We Americans are all action stars and super heroes lying in wait for our moment to shine. Don't tell us that unlocking all the XBOX achievements for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 3 won't prepare us for real life combat. Don't tell us that years of tactical study from great masters like Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger wouldn't pull us through when shit gets real. Don't tell us that our weekend paintball/lazer tag battles aren't indistinguishable from the front lines of Vietnam. The best way to stop one crazy American letting loose with his pistolas in a crowded square is to have all crazy Americans let loose with their pistolas in a crowded square.

We are exceptional, and God is on our side.
