WTF WED! DARTH VADER VS. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER VS. BEARS!


Let's start with the sour, move onto the sweet, and finish with the super sweet and sour formula brought to you by Austria and lots of bodybuilding.

Darth Vader is the coolest villain of all time. Then, they made him an annoying little kid in the prequels and ruined everything. So, correction, Darth Vader WAS the coolest villain of all time before George Lucas created some of the worst dialogue of all time and made Jake Lloyd the most unlucky kid in the galaxy. And now... a pallet cleanser!




Star Wars is my favorite film franchise. Then, they made the prequels. So, correction, Star Wars WAS my favorite film franchise. Arnold Schwarzenegger is my favorite action movie star of all time. Then, he got caught in an embarrassing sex scandal. Yet, corrections are not needed, cuz he is still my favorite action movie star of all time.

Combining Schwarzenegger's one-liners with the prescence of Darth Vader? Genius.

WEEKLY ROUND-UP! 4/1-4/7/13!

WEEKLY ROUND-UP PRESENTS

7. WORD OF THE DAY! 4/7/13! Mind games.

So, does anybody have a theory about the identity of this new Pokémon? Personally, I think he is a completely new Pokémon--possibly a clone of Mew or Mewtwo (and will probably be quite OP) and maybe, just maybe, might have that Light typing we've all been waiting for since Generation II to have more diversity in our meta-game strategy and to serve as another counterweight to Dark and Psychic.

6. POKÉMON OF THE WEEK! #318 CAVANHA & #319 SHARPEDO

Sometimes I write too many Pokémon articles...

5. WTF WED! GRANT KIRKHOPE'S KOOKY AND CRAZY PAC-MAN CABLE COMPANY!

I actually had to write this article twice...

4. APRIL FOOLS: "SORRY FOLKS! TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!"

For stress-related problems, I began writing an article that turned into this year's April Fools theme...OPOSSUMS!

3. WORD OF THE DAY! 4/5/13! Virtual storage.

Another chance for me to talk about the horrors of the Pokémon universe is always fun...

2. MIXED BAG. ASURA'S WRATH REVIEW!

This review isn't one of my favorite and was a tricky one to nail down because of the unique nature of Asura's Wrath.

1. APRIL FOOLS! WORD OF THE DAY! 4/1/13! "Best Movie Ever"

Fun Fact: 9/10 Opossums have no opinion on the Star Wars prequels.

WORD OF THE DAY! 4/1/13!

FANTUM MENUS IS BEST MOVIE!

best movie ever [I dunno how to enunciate cuz I'm a o-possum!]
truth
1.I may just be an o-possum...

...but I knows a gud movie when I seen it!

See, I was just a baby o-possum, clingin' to the back of mah mama and she was just a crawlin' 'round the fat legs of these hyoomans to look for nummies on the cinema's sticky floors (so much gud stuff down there!) when I seen my first and only movie... JORJ LUKASS'S THE FANTUM MENUS!

The movie's about this frog-rabbit guy named Jar-Jar Binks who, on the run from some "bombad baddies", meets up with a pair of borin' city boys on Spring Break. The whole movie hinges on whether Jar-Jar can loosen their underoos up and teach them how to party!

And, a-course, there's a subplot where Jar-Jar is gunna have to get a job at like Walmart or somethin' or his Mama (I glued a picture of her but-her-face up above) is gonna kick him out of Atlantis! So, like, Jar-Jar has to teach his new friends about how to party, find a job, and make us all laugh in one movie! He's a great comedic actor-- like Adam Sandler but with less of a Jewy voice!

We've all been there (points above with claw) haven't we fellas? One second you're wanderin' around the power station and, before you can say "don't chew on that", you're buddy is burnt blacker than a black thing. Lucky for Jar-Jar, he's a profeshunal acter and he knows wut he's a-doing!

At supper, Professer Liam Neeson is all hoity toity cuz Jar-Jar is tryin' to entertain some like poor trailer park family with his awesum possum tung tricks! Ah mean, wut's the point of havin' a tung like that if'n ya ain't gonna use it to entertain. The next part I kinda blacked out cuz on account of mah o-possum diabetes and didn't wake up until mah mama stuck my face in a tub of not yo cheese! I love not yo cheese!

IT MAKES ME WANNA DANCE! This one time me and mah buddies was at Wal-Mart and like mah buddy Franklin (he's a turdle) got ran over by one of them scooters with the big persons on 'em but he were all right cuz he's a turdle. He got a cash settlement for like cash money, so we thought we'd start having these "axidents" more often! Stupid hyoomans! That's how I got this cushy job! The internet boy stepped on my tail! Wait...what was I s'posed to be a-doin' again? 

Coulda swore I wrote it down on mah hand...

So, like, Jar-Jar meets like this city girl Princess Natalie Portman and she's givin' him the old Eskeemo shoulder and Mr. Long-Ears is playin' it all cool! I'm pretty sure he ends up with Natalie Portman in the next movie, but I never did done seen it cuz on account of mah bein' a o-possum. BUT, I herd there is like five more movies, so I'm sure he'll get her in the end...

In the next wacky scene, Jar-Jar finds himself on like a battlefield, on the green grassy fields of Iraq, and he like single-handedly wins the whole shebang in a funny way. I mean, people die, but that's like war and stuff. Good thing Jar-Jar is there to keep everything funny cuz the last thirty minutes of this movie were a little too smart for this ol' o-possum.

The movie ends with Jar-Jar teaching his friends how to have fun ('cept for Liam Neeson who gets burnt to death for some reason), saves Atlantis from Obama, and reunites with his Mama who tells him he prolly got a future politickin' in Washington. I'm sure he don't like doom everybody to bein' ruled by an evil old and stuffy white guy-- he's a Republikan and Republikans work for us (o-possums included). I'd reckon-mend this movie to just about anyone out there that loves a gud comedy.

MUSICAL MONDAY! STAR WARS A CAPELLA! OBI-WAN/QUI-GON VS. DARTH MAUL

MUSICAL MONDAY PRESENTS:
STAR WARS A CAPELLA! DUEL OF FATES!


I love a film, television, and video game themes and sound tracks. I love a Capella. And heck, despite all my issues with the original trilogy and the Phantom Menace, the music from the prequel trilogy has some worthwhile music. The single greatest song to come out of the trilogy that fits the operatic battles is John William's Duel of Fates. That song alone makes certain scenes in the prequels nearly attain the emotional resonance of scenes from the original trilogy.

For some odd reason, hearing Matt Mulholland's a Capella tongue-in-cheek scat-speak rendition of the song, complete with light saber noises, makes me appreciate the song again. That really is the sign of a good parody. A good parody can help you appreciate your favorite things in a more comedic light and this is no exception. Enjoy and make sure to check out Matt Mulholland's other videos and subscribe

P.S. Darth Maul is nearly as bad as Qui-Gon Jin and Boba Fett. These three make up the triumvirate of overrated Star Wars characters.*Dives behind cover and throws up force shield*
