Don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood...

So I watched one of the funniest movies of all time (at least in my opinion) the other day and it was still just as funny as the second time I saw it. Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood is a 1996 comedy directed by Paris Barclay and written by the Wayans brothers. The film stars the Wayans brothers as Ashtray and Loc Dog, two friends growing up in the same hood...well I'm not going to be able to do it any justice trying to think of a way to tell you how funny it is...just download it or something. Heres a small taste of what you can expect...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6hzqQHJChM&feature=related Has anyone else ever seen this movie? I know its a "growing up in the hood" spoof movie that everyone has seen a million times, but I think DBAMTSCWDYJITH does it far better than the rest, let me know what you guys think.

Scary New Military Robot

So I was surfin the web the other day and I came across a video of a new robot created by a company called Boston Dymanics. The robot is called the "Big Dog" and I'm not sure what they are planning to use it for but if I had to guess it would probably be to explore unknown or dangerous terrain that is unsafe for soldiers. The creepy thing is that....well I'll just let you watch it for yourself. The link is, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1czBcnX1Ww . This type of stuff scares me to think about. Technology is getting so advanced these days and we can do so many things that we would never have imagined in the past. I just hope the world dosn't end up like some I-Robot type ishh.

The real world?

Hello again. I still can't seem to get into this blogging thing, I guess this type of media production just isn't my cup of tea. Anywho, this weeks readings for class are probably my favorite topic we have discussed so far. I really enjoy the production aspect of media studies and hope to possibly, one day, if I'm really lucky x 1000, get a job working as some part of a snowboarding company's production team. In highschool my friends and I would take weekend trips up to my buddy's cottage in North Conway NH. We would bring a handycam that I borrowed from my TV production class and film everyting from the time we loaded up the cars to the drive home. When I got back to school monday morning I would sit in my production class and just edit the sh*t out of all the footage we got. I loved the editing process, fitting certain clips together with awsome effects and music to make the crazyest video possible. This is really what got me into media studies in a way, and the reason why I choose to have a technical concentration for my major. Now that the time is really winding down for me I have started thinking about places where I might be able to apply to work when I graduate. I think I'm going to keep up with the Plymouth Rock studios and hopefully get a job doing something there. "Eastcoast Hollywood" does sound like an interesting place to work...

No Ceilings

Sooooo I'm back again after a long break from blogging, I've been swamped with work and studying for midterms so that has been my focus for the past week and a half, thank god they are all over now and I can breathe again. Now that I got all my work out of the way I had some time to check out whats been going on in the hip-hop world after being beatless for awhile. I'm really impressed with Lil Wayne's new mixtape "no ceilings" that just got leaked the other day. In the past Wayne has done mixtapes with Dj Drama entitled "The Dedication 1&2" that are a compalation of some the most popular beats on the radio. With 'No Ceilings" Wayne has done the same thing again with results, in my opinion, almost just as good as the Dedication series. Some of the beats that you may have heard of include Jay-Z’s “Run This Town”, Dorrough's “Ice Cream Paint Job”, and even the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling." Now there are a lot of haters out there that love to voice their opinion but I gotta say Wayne is one of the hardest working people in the whole music industry, putting out so much material its rediculous. His hard work payed off in the past with his sixth studio album "The Carter III" selling over a million albums in it's first week on the shelf. It will be interesting to see what happens in February when he goes to court for his gun posession charges. My guess is that he will get some type of community service and maybe sixty to ninety days in the pen, and if he does go to jail I bet the material he comes out with is going to be insane.
