this is my tribute to the whores in Denmark. pretty awesome watchin her work. the crazy cruisin show in stuttgart, and the Porto Rio.

ok, beautiful Porto, Portugal, my biscuits straight from Scotland yall, down by the fish pond in Rimeni, Italy, the beaches in Italy are COMPLETELY covered in chairs and tables. don't even think about building a sand castle. and what the hell, here's a van pic of a real castle in Austria.

even more euro tourr pics #2

duschein like a runner in the night @ gas station in Austria, and Ox 45!, a pac ghost, and a bunch of naughty looking chicks in Ulm. "hey damn hanky! these aren't even talls!"

even more euro tourr pics #1

creepiest dolls ive ever fucking seen in a german gas station, klaus our euro tour manager/ agent/ task master extrordinaire, and some pics from Stoned From The Underground Festival in Erfurt, Germany.

crazy new trailers

just watched a bunch of new trailers. let me start over. First I went to see "MOON" w/ Sam Rockwell, but i got there just in time for the flick and missed the previews... and i HATE missing the previews. The flick was awesome, go see it. So, then I watched a bunch of previews. here's my take:
Fantastic Mr. Fox: i'm there for that one. clooney, bill murray, jason schwartzman, itll rule.
Tron Legacy: ditto. i don't even remember the first one well (but you can bet ill see it this week) but for some reason, even tho this is disney, i think its gonna be awesome.
Ninja Assassin: totally there. haven't seen a good ninja movie in a loooong time. (i mean a new one).
The Invention of Lying: probably won't go see it, but the concept is great, and the cast looks good, so itll probably be pretty rad.
Big Fan: looks totally depressing. no way jose. patton, stick to making me laugh, not cry.
Alice in Wonderland: this looked great until i saw Depp hit the screen, his makeup made me want to punch my laptop. itll still probably be good, but i say that hesitantly.
A Serious Man: i love the Coens, and i dig that these look like unknown actors. but i have no clue if itll suck or not. hard to tell by the preview. looks like a sleeper.
The Box: now, this looks like a pretty creepy flick! totally down. count me in.
I Sell the Dead: im gonna pass on this, but it gets points for having Angus Scrimm, who i think was the fucking "Tall Man" in Phantasm. (yep, he was.)
Halloween II: looks like dogshit.
The Book of Eli: what the fuck is this supposed to be about?
District 9: im in b/c of the alien saying, "i just wanna go home." fucked up.

everything else brand new looks like shit. still waiting on inglorious basterds, and sherlock holmes to wet my appetite. hell, ill even go see where the wild things are. ok, more bad movie reviews soon. ive been without net for toooooo long. chow. down actually. i haven't eaten anything today except a tuna sandwich super early. im starving.

Valient Thorr add another show with Mastodon in Paris, France @ Trabendo on July 6th. It will be Valient Thorr's first show in Paris, so they are excited, and want French girls to come and sweep them off their feet, and feed them, and love them, and hang them up to dry. Bon Swa.

bad/awesome flixxx review: The Green Slime

ok, got another one for ya. The Green Slime. This was a pretty good watch. I did feel myself starting to get fidgety tho. I totally could have passed out if i wanted to. But i was on a mission to see this thing thru. Sort of like MST3K. Actually, i just looked it up, and this was to be the very first movie that Mystery Science Theater 3000 watched up on the Satellite of Love. The film has very advanced forethought for the technology of the future. The problem is everyone is so 50's wholesome. Its like if the cast for "Lassie" did Star Trek. Way ahead of its time, but also cheesy on purpose. Bonus: the theme song "The Gree-een Sli-ime" is sung by ol Tom Jones.

bad/awesome flixxx review: 2019- After the Fall..., Revenge of the Ninja

been catching up on some of those other B flicks i've been downloading. the first one that i watched is called "2019: After the Fall of New York". The Euracs (coalition of europe, asia, and africa) have destroyed the US w/ a nuclear weapon. The president is reforming the States secretly in Alaska. This world is shit, so they are sending a bunch of dudes to a distant star to live. But since no chicks can have babies anymore, the Pres enlists this dude Parcival to go to the remains of NYC (a la "Escape from New York") and find a rumored fertile babe. Plenty of cyborgs, mutants, midgets, demolition derby fight to the deaths, rats, knights on horseback, and laser crossbow rifles to go around. This one has it all. Totally shitty and totally hilarious. Recommended.

the next flick i checked out was a childhood favorite of Voiden and Lucian Thorr. Its called "Revenge of the Ninja". This one's about a dude who's whole family gets slaughtered back home except for his son, so a business partner convinces him to get away from the old country and move to the US to become an art dealer?!? Anyway, without spoiling the whole thing, the ninja gets his US life ruined and figures out who the real bad guy is, and decides he needs revenge. The dialogue is shit, but the action scenes are amazing. Including the one where the ninja art dealer sees these dudes stealing these statues out of his art gallery. a 20 minute fight scene starts and this dude ends up getting dragged down the street by a fucking van, and still kicks the shit out of all the thugs. Totally Awesome. Bonus cameo by Oddjob from 007 as a rapist henchman.

more of these coming soon. and if anyone gives a shit, i'm having an awesome time in France.

BUSTED: the new "man arm" pose

yo, so last month before we split to come to europe, i noticed a trend in all the magazines in the states. if you're a dude on the cover, the new thing for photographers to have you to do is cross your arms the wrong way. maybe its to puff out muscles that you don't have. i don't know, but either way, you're all busted looking stupid. here's my proof. white background, cross arms in tight.
