Things that suck/things that are cool

Does anyone want to be my official post titler? Cause most of the titles I think of pretty much make me cry at night. It would be completely and totally benefit free, and you'd probably have to think of the titles before I even write anything, but still. If you're bored...

Things that suck:
Madden 10. Still. Except now, it's because I lost to my brother in a completely bogus game in which everything went wrong for me.

See, I'm a very competitive person. I'm more competitive when I think I am better than the person I am competing against. I'm even more competitive when I determine that everything is going wrong for me.

I'm not going to indulge in any details of the game... but uhh, let's just say that I threw a pillow at the room, intending to hit a chair, and ended up almost breaking a lamp and the PS3.

So basically, don't challenge me to anything. Cause it is bad news for everyone. Another good example of this: hearts, back when I was losing every game in April-May.

Things that are cool:
So I just saw the cover of Weezer's upcoming release... I'll post it here, because photos are cool and everything.


Not as classic as their Red Album cover (which is either a great, ridiculous parody of the Blue Album cover... or a ridiculous example of douchebaggery. Or both. I don't know. But definitely ridiculous), but it's still pretty awesome.

I feel weird for writing more about Weezer than other bands and such, but I don't know. They intrigue me, pretty much because I think they're doing what they want to do instead of merely pandering to the vocal hipster crowd. Unfortunately, the music they're making really isn't all that good, but still. I applaud them.

Youtubing 1:

There is nothing here yet because I accidentally hit the enter button while typing in the title.

Well now there is. I like YouTube videos because they make me feel like I'm being productive at writing while just lazily posting videos.

Here's a video I found floating around on various sites of Quentin Tarantino talking about "There Will Be Blood." It's a pretty cool watch, and Tarantino as always is quite interesting to listen to... more so when he's talking about other films rather than his own, but whatever. It's going to take over the right half side of this page, though. Please don't panic.



1) The point on Paul Dano is spot on, but I wonder if anyone was ever really going to stand toe-to-toe with Daniel Day-Lewis...
2) Not the biggest Tarantino person, but I feel like I should see Inglorious Basterds at some point soon. Also, Jackie Brown might be my favorite film of his. Just saying.
