This is Entry 239: Rapping & Comics Collide!

Still saddened that she doesn't exactly exist in the "New 52" (if you count the Karen Starr in Mr. Terrific as a non powered version of her). But I have a theory of how he could exist in the new 52 that I'll be posting here once I collect all my thoughts on the subject.

Until next time Stay Jazzy everybody!

This is Entry 196: A New Follower, Linkage & some Music

This my 3rd entry this week. Normally I'm good if I even make 1 post a week but I guess I had stuff to say/show this week! :)

First off I want to welcome my 6th follower: Neil Kapat/Nitz the Bloody, a guy I know from a message board I frequent. He is the creator behind the online graphic novel called Ruby's World & has his own blog Handi-Capeable which is a blog about Comic Books & it's depiction of the Disabled. He also has other stuff post on his blog like his ongoing review of the Sonichu series.

If you don't know what Sonichu is, you should be glad. If you want to know what that is, you can go look it up but be warned: your better off not knowing. :)

Next up...

*Confetti goes everywhere while a monotone yet feminine voice announces* We have Linkage!

It's been a long time since that alarm has gone off. I wasn't even sure it was still working. But for the only the second time since I've started this Blog I've been referenced on another blog. Well... it's the second time I know about. The first time was back in way back 2007 (and I made a post about & that post is Entry 18). If you scroll down a bit you'll see that I have made 2 posters promoting this blog. Well, I made a poster for a friend of mine's Blog & she (yes, She) posted it to her Blog, The Girl on the Milk Carton, her self described "feminist mormon vegetarian geek blog".

Lastly, I'd like to share with you all a song. I didn't make it but I do think it's pretty darn cool!



It'a song about Booster Gold & they manage to an overview of his whole career in a few minutes. The song came from a self titled E.P. by the group Spoiler Alert! & you go hear the other 2 songs from the abum by clicking on the link (The other 2 songs are about Batman & Blue Beetle).

I think that's all I have to link you today. Until next time: Stay Jazzy!

This is Entry 168: Hip Hop History with Jimmy & Justin!

Last Night on Last Night with Jimmy Fallon: Jimmy, Justin Timberlake & the Roots took a musical trip through Hip-Hip History! How was it? Watch the video to find out.



I could name about half to 3/4th of the songs they used. This also marks the 2nd time i've posted a video where the song "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z was used. :) Also, things like this is why I think Late Night is really cool. He & the show has done some really cool stuff so when I stay up late at night I'm going to see something cool and/or funny. Speaking of songs: There is a song by Jimmy, Amy Poehler & Rashida Jones that pretty cool, too. I think would also be on the Late Night section of NBC.com.

So, until next time: Stay Jazzy, everybody!

This is Entry 164: Seattle!

A local radio station were so often plays this song which I guess makes since because we are... in Seattle!

---------------

Lyrics:
The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle
. . . in Seattle!

When it's time to leave your home and your loved ones
It's the hardest thing a boy can ever do
An' you pray that you will find
someone warm an' sweet an' kind
But you're not sure what's waiting there for you!

The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle
. . . in Seattle!



When you find your own true love, you will know it
By her smile, by the look in her eye
Scent of pine trees in the air, never knew a day so fair
It makes you feel so proud that you could cry!

The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle
. . . in Seattle!

In Seattle . . . in Seattle . . . in Seattle!

This is Entry 158: brian on the Aisle #7.5

It's another installment of Brian on the Aisle! Well, not really. It's more of I have some more thoughts about the last movie I saw: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World & I didn't feel like editing the last post.

Over the last couple of days I've been thinking about the film. The "review" I was posted was very shortly after seeing it, like a half hour after seeing said film. Over the weekend I've been thinking about it further. After the initial "Man, that's was awesome!" has worn off I thought more about what did I actually see. Now I will say this the film is still good & worth seeing. There is some wonderful visuals, some good music & a good time still seemed to be had by all! But, thinking about the movie a lot of things just seem to happen & their isn't much depth to it. You don't really get to know anyone in the film. Your given enough to make them seem like real people but you don't get much:

"Who's that?"

"Oh, That's Kim. She & Scott use to date. They went high School together. She is the drummer in Sex Bob-ombs with Scott"

"Ok. How did they break up? Is she dating anyone currently?"

"Uh....."

It's like that with most of the characters. You get a few short sentences with minor details of who the person in relation to someone else (most often the people being Scott Pilgrim or Ramona Flowers). Now this might just be the Movie & their might be more info in the books (which I have not read) about the characters but this a Movie review & I'm basing my comments solely on the Movie I saw. Characters come in, have their scene(s) & then leave. The movie doesn't really even go into why the League of Evil Ex's are even evil. Where they always evil or did they become evil after their break up with Ramona? If that's true, then doesn't that make Ramona evil herself?

Maybe I've just been thinking about this movie to much. I did enjoy seeing it. I didn't get all the reference, a number of the Video Game ones probably went right over my head. And I still stand by rating but it might be a lower 4 then it was originally. It's still a high 4 but probably not as high as it was last friday night/early saturday morning.

Until next time: Stay Jazzy Everyone.

This is Entry 157: Brian on the Aisle #7

It's another installment of Brian on the Aisle! This time I went to see Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.

Leading up to this movie coming out everything I saw about about this movie made me want to see it more. Now this could either lead up to an awesome movie or a really crappy movie who shows all the good parts before you get in the theater. Scott Pilgrim is the former.

Confession time: I haven't really read the books the movie is based off of. I read the first book, a friend had it. It was good but I didn't really feel the need to read the rest of the books. Not sure I will. Maybe if they putt all the 6 books together in one big book? A Scott Pilgrim Omnibus! In Color!

But getting back to the movie: It was Awesome. Dare I say Pretty Super Cool Awesome? Yes, I shall: It was Pretty Super Cool Awesome! I'm not sure how to explain the movie it's like if a Video Game, a Music Video & Movie all had a threesome which lead to the birth of this movie, This awesome, awesome movie baby. There is so much to see in the movie & I doubt I caught all there is to see. This a movie definitely worth a second viewing. Possibly a third or a fourth. I hardily look forward to seeing what's going to be on the DVD (hopefully some of the stuff from the website).

I liked that there wasn't all that many "Big Name" people in the movie. Sure, Michael Sera (who plays Scott Pilgrim) is a Big Name but your main character should be a Big Name person. But most of the rest of the principal cast are mostly all known some how but aren't truly those Big Name people. Everyone did a superb job in roles. No one I thought was miscast in their role.

A great film. Wonderful visuals. Some good music. A good time seemed to be had by all!

So, what do I give this film: 4 Power Ups... out of Five!

BONUS CONTENT!

- Favorite comment heard pre-movie: "Why did you text me at 9:30 in the morning? It's summer, no one is up that early!"
- M. Night Shyamalan has a new movie coming out. When he name came on screen during the trailer laughter broke out in the theater. After it died down a voice was heard saying "Hey, Give it chance." which caused more laughter. Then some commented we should remember what he did to Avatar, a reference to the Last Airbender movie. As for the rest of the trailer no one really caught my eye as "I got to go see this movie!"
- In other news before the Movie: I had Sushi! And it was served on a conveyor belt!

So, until next time: Stay Jazzy!
