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…)

v.
I do want to make it clear that I am in no way employed, compensated, affiliated, or such, with, by or for either Winkflash or Mpix.I put in another order to Mpix with the color correcting on this time, the results? Less than spectacular, but not ALL bad. For the details, make the jump (more…)

v. Alright, so the results are finally in. After a few days of research on multiple review forums hosted by both general consumer and photo specific sites, I was stuck between two candidates. Mpix.com and Winkflash. Both got really decent reviews. I even found one review where the user did in fact compare the two as I have. Yet, when he did so, he was making prints at 11X14+ and using some of their premium paper. He also had a slightly different purpose. Seeing as my printing purposes called for economy I wanted to compare each site on their barebones options. In his tests, he gives Winkflash as the winner, but only by a hair. My results are similar but not as black and white (sorry, I had to). I’m a bit more subjective on image quality (but it’s kind of hard not to be) but I also objectively examine speed of delivery, packaging, price and functionality of web ordering. For more details keep reading. Or you can skip to the bare results here. (more…)

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.

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.
