Huskers memorable moments (not all great ones) sitting at no. 12, 10, and 7.  Of course the Nebraska-Oklahoma rivalry would have to be listed in the top 10 (so far).  Number 7, was of course the famous "Black 41 Flash Reverse" that helped Nebraska defeat Oklahoma. 

Cheers

This time last year.

Usually, when I listen to a cover song, the original just can't be improved upon.  In this case, the German band Heaven Shall Burn did just that.  They took Edge of Sanity's "Black Tears" and made it their own.  I like the video editing in the Heaven Shall Burn version, how it cuts from video to a live performance.

I was searching for "eye", but couldn't find it on youtube (official video), so here's "ava adore".

Is it me, or does Billy resemble Uncle Fester from The Addams Family?  I used to have a thing for former bassist, D'arcy Wretzky.  Damn, was she "hawt"!  I'll post the .mp3 "eye" later.

Cheers

Last night I went to see Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.  It was what I expected.  Bigger "BOOMS", underdeveloped characters, even more explosions to pull our attention from some serious holes in the storyline.  We see an introduction of characters from both factions, but not much more than that.  Some of the lines in the film were corny, if not just horrible to listen to while viewing the film.  Ironhide, Ratchet, even Bumblebee have little or no speaking roles.  Jazz doesn't come back from the grave, but Megatron does. 

For a moment, I had to look down at the ticket just to make sure I was in the right theatre.  Apparently, genius boy thought he'd cross film franchises.  A Decepticon pretender?  Really?  Sooooo, this all of a sudden became the Terminator franchise?  Since when, Nancy boy?  The character is able to assume a human (humanoid) form and walk among the population in order to get close to the main character.  Hmmm, this sounds familiar, oh well.  Even more genera mixing would be towards the end of the film when the Autobots Ratchet and Jolt use energon whips to merge Jetfire's parts and spark with Prime.  This reminded me of the DBZ (Dragonball Z) film Broly: The Legendary Super Saiy-jin.  There's a climactic battle between the Earth warriors and Broly, and in order to defeat him they all transfer their energy (chi) to Goku and BAM, he saves the day.  Again, oddly familiar. 

I will say this, good job making Soundwave into a Cybertronian satellite.  Badass.  Characters Wheelie, Jetfire, and the twins (Skids & Mudflap) could've used a serious overhaul too. 

First the twins, seriously Bay.... WTF?  Those characters were just a bad idea.  How much more of a racial stereotype could you have thrown on film than by adding these two.  I remember one of them having a gold tooth.  It was a painful reminder of George Lucas' Jar Jar Binks from SW EP I.  Their interaction with each other was nothing short but the lowest form of comedy.  Why not just put them in blackface?  If you listen to them speak, you'll know where I'm going with this.  

Jetfire's character would've been better had Bay not touched it, AT ALL.  In the G1 series, he's an autobot, but in the film he's a decepticon that defects to the autobots.  He's given a Scottish accent, if you're trying to give him some attitude, you should've tried to cast Sean Connery.  Also, what's up with the walking cane/stick?  If it's his weapon (axe), fine... but having him use it as a cane as he attempts to transform and walk around with it?  Bad move brah.  His concept artwork looked better than how he was shown in the movie.  Check it.

Wheelie was another character that should've been left alone.  He was given a bad New York wannabe mobster crony accent.  Not to mention he acts like he's in heat and leg humps Megan Fox's character.  Lame.

Devastator, another character with mass potentital that fell way short of expectations.  The images to the left are Devastator from the G1 line (below) and from the film (above).  The film version is more realistic, but did Bay really have to give him a set of nuts?  Seriously, he has a pair of balls.  HA!  I wish that I were kidding, but I'm not.  Yes, there's some lame attempt at humor in the film in regards to this.  I think Devastator would've been better received had he kept to the G1 look.  It kind of sucked that he couldn't even take down one of the twins.
     
Had those flaws been fixed prior to releasing the film, I think it would've apealed to the comic book geek masses.  I feel like the comic geek from the Simpsons as I type this blog post though.  I won't say his line of "worst ever", but I will say this is a good kid flick.  It's almost as if Michael Bay said "You think you've seen explosions before, wait until this film, we really blow shit up!".  I really hope Michael Bay does NOT return for the third installment set to be released in 2011. 

That is all.
