Here is a story of Eddie Murphy and his latest list of on set demands. Eddie hear me out, lately with your piss poor Box office returns. You did do the Adventures of Pluto Nash, a film that actually broke Carolco's Cutthroat Island's Guinness World Record for "Biggest Single Loss ever for a studio", that film bankrupted them.

I couldn't blame him for not showing up to the premier of Meet Dave, hell I would do the same thing If I was connected to that piece of cinematic trash.

Right now you cannot act like royalty, even the Queen of England still shows up on time. Start acting professional if you do not they will replace you with any number of up an coming Disney produced talent.

Some ideas for the AVGN

As you know there have been many crappy games based on films, some of these games are actually bad games based on GOOD films, such PLATOON or the infamous ET come to mind. There is a rare breed in gaming, the shit game based on a equally or even shittier film or other such failed entertainment property.

I propose that the AVGN throw his wrath at a few of these titles

Such victims for James wrath could be

First candidates are the FLOPS, crap games based on films that either tanked at the box office or were savaged by the critics or both.

Hudson Hawk for the NES, shit game based on a really bad Bruce Willis box office fiasco. James can even talk about the Nintendo Power contest where the 1st place winner got a free screening of the film with 5 of his closest friends. Nintendo Power and Hudson Hawk Even when you win you lose. What was planned next Bruce? a Bonfire of the Vanities game.

HOOK(NES, SNES, GENESIS Sega CD) A crap game based on a ill advised Spielberg retake on Peter Pan that went over with critics like a fart in church. Originally this project was supposed to be a musical that Steven promised the lead to Michael "Wacko Jacko" Jackson until he got accused of getting to close to kids.

Cutthroat Island (Genesis, SNES) This bloated over budget and overindulgent Remy Harlin directed Gena Davis action pirate vehicle picture, became a case of vehicular manslaughter as it cost over $100 mil and only made $10 million. It bankrupted Carolco Pictures and held the Guinness World Record for "Biggest single loss for a studio" until Adventures of Pluto Nash came out. This was the same Carolco that made a mint on Terminator 2 and Basic Instinct. This film killed the pirate genre, until Disney resurrected it with the Pirates of the Caribbean films, based on a theme park ride of all things. And you thought Waterworld was bad.

Speaking of the devil...

Waterworld (GEN, SNES) Sure the AVGN did the virtual boy adaptation, this waterlogged Costner shipwreck also ran aground on the Super NES and Genesis.

Judge Dredd, (SNES, Genesis) This DREDDFUL theatrical flop actually had the nerve to put "based on the smash hit movie" on the carts, Talk about false advertising.

Last Action Hero (SNES, NES, GENESIS) Another AHHNOLD game for a film that was a Box Office Turkey.

Demolition Man (GEN, SNES) I'd like to schedule all of these carts for demolition. I wonder if Arnie and Sly where having a pissing contest to see how many crap games they could assault the public with. So far they are both 2 for 2 tied, if you count out the terminator and RAMBO games and reclass those as separate franchise films

Tf SLY and AHHNOLD were having a crap video game contest they both get PWNED by the muscles from Brussels.

Street Fighter the Movie (SNES, GENESIS, ARCADE) A game based on the movie that is based on a video game. It is like one of those movie within a movie movies, only worse.

Universal Soldier (SNES, GEN) another shit VanDamme film another shit VanDamme game.

Time Cop (SNES, GEN) Vandamme strikes again Makes me grateful that no Steven Segal films were ever made into a video game... Or where they?

Congo the game (GEN, SNES) A game based on a talking monkey jungle movie that I do not even remember what it was about.

Time Traxx (GENESIS, SNES) Not really a movie, but a game from the genre of Games based on obscure TV show only 5 people including myself remember watching.

Defenders of Dynatron City (nes) not really a shit game based on a movie, but a shit game based on a failed comic book line created by Steven Spielberg. Not everything he creates is GOLD kids.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers (NES, SNES GEN) for a game based on a cartoon preaching ecological responsibility, this was sure one big piece of toxic garbage that should have been slated for recycling.

How about...the mentionables

Cliffhanger (NES, GEN, SNES, SEGA CD) a mess of a game based on a passable Stallone action film.

Blues Brothers (NES, SNES) A game that is in the genre of desecration of a CLASSIC film. I can see the mindset around making a shit quick cash in to coinside with a hot theatrical release. But a game based on a film that came out 10 years before the NES even existed?

Gilligan's Island(NES) a shit game based on a TV show that was long canceled way before video games hit the streets. or their current players were even BORN.

The Three Stooges (NES) a WORSE idea, here's what kids like me wanted in the 1980's a game based on a series of short films made before their PARENTS were even born.

Alien 3 (SNES) Here is the rarest of beasts, A GOOD game based on a SHIT film. The NES version was garbage and the Genesis game was dull and mediocre. But the SNES game was actually a intelligently put together action adventure platformer with a open ended level design that required a certain level of strategic planning to complete the mission objectives.

Classy we have radicals out "guarding" polls.

Shitty Jobs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PFY-Zm8j0E&feature=channel

Quite Possibly the most honest video about "JOBS" of this entire campaign. Let's face it most of those "jobs" going overseas are SHIT jobs. Face it most of these jobs going overseas are GARBAGE jobs. Unions made it worse because, no company wants to pay 10-20 and hour to a high school dropout on a job that requires little if no training.

Lindsay Lohan and Professionalism

http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2008/10/lindsay-doesnt-like-working-hard.html

I was reading this blog about Lohan, and there is a word that Lindsay needs to get burned into her brain. It is PROFESSIONALISM. She needs to learn it fast if she wants any chance to save what sorry excuse of a career she has.

All talent in holly wood has a expiration date, and Lindsay's expired a long time ago. Now you can delay this date by nurturing your talents and career and avoiding destructive behavior.

It happened when she decided to concentrate more on being a spoiled drunk than her career. Now the Entertainment Machine has moved on to other talent such as Ashley Tisdale and her friends. WHY? because unlike Lindsay, she has a career plan and understands PROFESSIONALISM. She is hard working, determined and bothers to show up to work SOBER and ON TIME. After HSM, she already has two producer credits, a 2nd album in the making. This will evaporate if she decides to care more about getting wasted with her BF at trendy clubs and getting into embarrassing public fiascoes.

Idea for Eddie Murphy's next flop

Since Meet Dave crashed and burned at the Box office, no suprise there as the film was way too much like Norbit, and reeking with the stink of Pluto Nash.

Since I have nothing better to do I come up with a idea that could well be far worse.

ASS WORLDS: The world inside you ass.

The Story is about Average Joe(Murphy) who after swimming at the local beach is attacked by a sea creature which attempts to copulate with his ass. The creature deposits some of its "juice" into his rectum. After getting a rectal exam by his local doctor Proctologist Dr Reeves(Murphy)he discovers the juice has bonded with his Anal contents and created a thriving civilization with streets, homes families and businesses such as PoopShop and McCraps.

Dr reeves seeing the potential of this new world decided to build a exploration team and develops a craft that can miniturize itself and its crew to further explore Ass World and hope to capitalize on this film and build a vacation resort.

Superman

Superman, the septuagenarian original comic book superhero

by Luis Torres de la Llosa Sat Jun 14, 3:02 AM ET

NEW YORK (AFP) - Superman, the original comic book superhero, turns 70 this month, but his strength and invulnerability draws fewer fans in the 21st century world of flawed, postmodern heroes.

An indisputable icon of American pop culture, the Man of Steel made his first appearance in the June 1938 issue of "Action Comics." He is the brainchild of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, residents of the midwestern town of Cleveland, Ohio.

Superman can fly in the sky, but he's not a bird or a plane. He's faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

About 1.9 meters (six feet, three inches) tall and weighing some 102 kilos (225 pounds), Superman has blue eyes, black hair and is a mild-mannered reporter working at the "Daily Planet" newspaper under the alias Clark Kent. He was born on the planet Krypton, exiled to Earth as an infant, and for decades has been fighting for Truth, Justice and the American Way.

"He is a complete fiction, but he is so complete, so ideal, and so well-known around the world -- most Americans will know his origin simply by osmosis by the time they are eight -- that he is a much fuller representation of an American self-view than Uncle Sam or Mickey Mouse," said Bradley Ricca, who produced a documentary titled "Last Son" on the origin of Superman.

"He really is the quintessential modern American symbol," said Ricca, who is a Case Western University professor specializing in American literature and popular culture. "He is an immigrant in an imperfect world" who "battles injustice in any form."

Superman "is the first fictional superhero, with all the characteristics at the same time: the powers, the cape, the secret identity, the colorful costume, the complicated love triangle, and the unmatched sense of justice," Ricca told AFP.

Superman "is the progenitor of the genre and sets the standard for other figures," said Peter Coogan, who holds a doctorate in American Studies from Michigan State University and specializes in superheroes in US history.

"It can be said that all superheroes are imitations of or the children of Superman," playing "a symbolizing function as an embodiment of American mythology," Coogan told AFP.

"Superheroes embody a vision of the use of power unique to America. Superheroes enforce their own visions of right and wrong on others, and they possess overwhelming power, especially in relation to ordinary crooks," said Coogan, who also heads the non-profit Institute for Comics Studies.

In his 2007 master's thesis at Georgia State University, another student of the genre, Aaron Pevey, wrote that Superman lost popularity precisely because he is invulnerable.

"While Superman might have succeeded as a modern hero, he fails as a postmodern one," wrote Pevey. That explains, he believes, why DC Comics has seen a slump in sales of Superman comics over the last few years.

Teenagers prefer darker, troubled, sometimes ambivalent heros, including such classics as Batman, Spider-Man or Wolverine of "X-Men" fame.

Superman, born in the years before World War II and a distant heir of Nietzsche's Ãœbermensch, has seen his personality change over time.

While aggressive in the 1940s, by the 1950s the storyline focus was more on Clark Kent's quest for the love of Lois Lane, his colleague and future wife. In the 1960s and 1970s Superman developed a more complex personality, and in 1986, DC Comics hired John Byrne to carry out a character overhaul. The result was a character that was less of a messianic figure and more of a modern-day Hercules.

With sales slumping, DC Comics killed off Superman in a battle with a powerful character named Doomsday in 1993. But Superman, whose various nicknames include "The Man of Tomorrow," of course come back from the dead.

In a country where the quest for entertainment is a national obsession, it is more likely that Superman will continue facing close encounters with deadly kryptonite than he will be forced into retirement.

"Superman has endured, and will endure, because he is more than just a silly character with his underwear on the outside and a spitcurl," said Ricca. "He is the hope not that we can be rescued, but that we can be good."

Two children look at the cover of a comic book showing Superman, distributed by the UN, UNICEF, and DC Comics in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The comic books aim to teach children the danger of land mines. Superman, the original comic book superhero, turns 70 this month, but his strength and invulnerability draws fewer fans in the 21st century world of flawed, postmodern heroes.

Also it does not help that Hollywood cannot even make a passable Superman film, and worse yet EVERY Superman game made SUCKS ASS. As of right now the next Superman film, Man of Steel s going to be a reboot of the Superman Returns reboot. Not suprising given the people who worked on that film.

What is the best Superman property that has been a hit with the teen crowd? SMALLVILLE and why is it a hit? Because it is about a young Clark Kent growing into the role of being a hero facing the same problems that teens and young adults have to face as well. These are problems the type of problems and issues that superpowers do not always work against.
