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.

Back again after only one short day, need to boost up my blogging points before its too late! So I'm pumped for haloween weekend because on Friday the 30th my friends and I are going to see a band that I have been wanting to see ever since I was introduced to them last year. The band is called Black River Sound and they are a family band, I know sounds weak, but they are amazing. I believe that it is three or four sisters and their one or two brothers in the band which is a soulful reggae group with classic, jazz, and hip-hop influences. We will be going to see them at Tammeney(?) Hall in Worchester MA. The following night is haloween and my roomeates and I are having a huge costume party which should be a great time. Still don't know what I'm going to be. The night after haloween is the night I am most looking forward to. My friends and I are going to another concert at The House of Blues in Boston to see Method Man, Redman, and Snoop, three artists that I havn't seen live yet and can't wait to see them all perform.

So its been numerous weeks now and I still can't get used to this whole blogging thing. I don't know if its just because I know that it is another thing that I have to do or what but the "blogging bug" dosn't seem to have bitten me like some others. When I read other peoples bloggs they seem like they have been doing it for years, but when I sit down and try to blog I come up blank. Maybe its just not my thing to sit down at the computer and share my thoughts on random subjects. I think that it is a great way for some people to clear their head and share their thoughts but I have realized that its just not my thing. Anways, on a better note I saw Zombieland the other day, a comedy/horror flick about two guys who survive a world overcome with zombies by killing them in the most unusual ways possible. I didn't know what to expect when I went in but I thought it was going to be good. Turns out it was even better than I expected. I laughed a lot and I really enjoyed the oddly paired two main characters (Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg) and they way they worked together. On yet another note, I was unknowingly choosen to be the producer of my television production groups next piece. I have to produce a five to six minute news broadcast with my other group members and classmates. Producer is the toughest job to have during a production because there are so many things that you need to coordinate, everone in the control room, everyone on set and you have to direct the whole piece to move along smoothly, a tough thing to do when you need ten plus people to work together as a team perfectly. There is deffinetly a lot more to a production than what you see on your screen, I have learned that first hand.

Kyou mo ganbarou!
