too bad not to write about…

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Ok, take: Lord of the Rings, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, He-man (Grayskull anyone?), Xenia Warrior Princess, Zelda, Star Wars (Jedi), Jerry Springer, Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, The Matrix, 300, Harry Potter, Blade, throw in Matthew “Cereal Killer” Lillard, Australian Vin Diesel/Jack Bauer Jason Statham Burt Reynolds!!!?, and director Uwe Boll….. and you get the greatest worst movie of all time.

We’re talking so bad/good, this movie is to the medieval fantasy genre as Planet 9 from Outer Space is to the sci-fi genre.
There’s a reason that this film has been out not even 24 hours and is already at the screen with the smallest seating capacity at my local cinema.

I really just want to believe, that Uwe Boll intentionally makes his movies to be this bad, like an Andy Kaufman approach to film making, so serious its bad, but so bad its funny- like a silent approach to the pokes made to other genres in movies like Hot Fuzz and even Not Another Teen Movie. If so, he’s somewhat of an unappreciated genius, otherwise, I’ve lost all hope in humanity.

In the words of Brian Orndorf:

I would like to think that Uwe Boll is not a mentally-challenged individual.

Now, I guess I seem surprised at the outcome of this movie, but no one had previously made me aware of Mr. Boll’s reputation… yet, I could not have done a single thing better with my ten dollars on a Friday night… (more…)

[edited] some sites everyone should know about

So I’ve been using this amazing elegant and powerful music search engine/personal internet jukebox since it came out in November, and I really think everyone should know about it. It’s called Songza. Just check it out and thank me later.

www.Songza.com

Also, a related, very cool, but slightly less useful website is http://musicovery.com/.

As a person who commented on my blog- www.wefeelfine.org is really cool and a treat visually. It’s important to note the .ORG not the .COM as the .com site is completely different.

Kinda like the Death Star II

It ain’t pretty (on the inside at least) but it’s mostly functional.
Star Wars references aside, this is it. The new and official Adam Dexter Photography blog. The skin you see is a heavily modded and edited (by me) Kubrick, with influences from N Design’s Phoenix and Unsleepable 2.0. I like it so far. It still needs a few tweaks here and there, nothing is perfect, but it’s getting there.

So, here I’ll be posting news, recent pictures and work, DIY projects, tips, tricks and hints, and well, anything else I feel like.

Here’s something photo related: I have DIY tips on how to take the perfect Myspace picture here. You better read, I mean, you do want to be ’scene’ don’t you?

But First thing being, completely unphoto related- well, depends how you look at it.
