Recently, I saw an indie zero-budget film called Cheap. This movie is dark, sickening, disturbing, hilarious, and wrong in at least forty-five different definitions of the word.
And I love it.
This movie is like a poster child for everything I love about independent film making. There's a real passion in it, all of these people knew what they were making, and that was art.
The story is sickeningly simple, it revolves around a failed porn director ( Jack Stone, played by Brad Jones of Cinema Snob fame) crafting a new, different approach to pornography: real snuff films. He convinces a completely disturbed, FUBAR cameraman Manny played by [Nick Foster], and two teen runaways (Patti, played by Carrie Jo Stucki and Anita, played by Jessica Stone) to "star" in his new films. They pick up a homeless person, kill him while filming it, and do quite disturbing things with his severed head. After this they sell the movie to a slimy producer Max Force (played by David Gobble in an amazing performance), who is met with overnight success on his porno site. Things take a wrong turn quickly and Jack (The Director) and the other "crew members" exact their sickening revenge on those that made their fame possible.
Its really, on the surface, almost a ludicrous movie. But once you watch it, get down deep into this underworld Brad has crafted, and feel for these characters, you enjoy it. You enjoy it a lot. Its sickening, but you have emotions for these characters. The acting and the script easily save the movie from total mediocrity Brad and David are the key actors here, and they are also in the two starring roles. But let me tell you this, before you even watch it: there are no heroes in this story. Everyones dirty, demented or just a plain asshole. You can sort of see a glimmer of hope in one character (the producers pregnant wife), but she doesnt fare very well by the end. Dont expect to root for anybody here, because everyone is a villain.
The production values, well... there are no production values it seems. The audio fits in and out, the camera blurs, and the camera quality in general isn't very good. But, to be honest, this sort of adds to the movies flavor. With high production values, crystal clear image, and perfect sound, you lose a complete layer of the movie. Im glad that the movie was shot the way it was, because I cant imagine it any other way.
In conclusion, this movie is dark, twisted and one hell of a ride. The movie drags a bit in the first half, but the second rears its ugly head with a vengeance. I recommend this to anyone with a taste for the wicked and a stomach to bear. Its not gory, but the subject matter is sickening, no doubt. Check it out, its sure to please all of you sick fucks out there.
Final Score: B+

Really now?
Today, I was watching a tv show called Gangland. This specific episode was about the KKK, or, more specifially, the IKA. The KKK claim that the bible goes against racial mixing, and says that Caucasians are the dominant race. Okay, hand me a bible quote to back that up? Oh, you cant? That wouldn't justify your actions anyway? Yeah, thought so.
really, do these assholes not even realize that the bible was written in the fucking MIDDLE EAST?
That's where Muslims are from, idiots! These idiots parade around with their robes and their pistols pretending to do gods work, when the truth is they just have a grudge against other races. But why? They are just as human as white people. They deserve equal rights, no matter how they look, or how many of them beat you up when you were in sixth grade.
But what really pisses me off is simply the ignorance of them. They never once stop to think that maybe black people and Asians and Mexicans and everyone else can be productive members of society. While the black man across the street is supporting his family and working twice as many hours because he cant find a job, these rednecks are sitting on their couches, jobless, drunk as fuck, complaining about how the black people took all the jobs.
Ive seen people like this. Im not fucking kidding.
Also, this IKA (Imperial Klans of America) was started in Kentucky.
fuck.
God damn I love atheism.
"He's the farmers' barren fields, (In God)
He's the force the army wields, (We trust)
He's the expression on the faces of the starving millions, (Because he's one of us)
The power of the man. (Break down)
He's the fuel that drives the Klan, (Cave in)
He's the motive and the conscience of the murderer (He can redeem your sin)
He's the preacher on TV, (Strong heart)
He's the false sincerity, (Clear mind)
He's the form letter that's written by the big computer, (And infinitely kind)
He's the nuclear bombs, (You lose)
He's the kids with no moms (We win)
And I'm fearful that he's inside ME (He is our champion)"

The Top Ten Coolest Megaman Classic Characters!
I love megaman, I’m sure by now its no secret. I love all series of megaman with a passion, but the most well known is obviously the Classic series. That is what this list will be made from; don’t expect Zero or Spider to show up anytime soon. These are my personal favorites, and in now way are they definite, so don’t take it that way. You’re entitled to your opinion, and I would love a megaman discussion :P
NOTE: I had pictures, but Blogspot is a bitch about the picture posting, so I had to remove them, they were nothing bad, just some technical problems.
10) Dr. Light (Dr. Right)
The creator of Megaman and former buddy of Wily before Wily went all crazy on him, Dr. Thomas Light (Right) was the creator of Protoman (Blues), Megaman (Rock) and Roll along with many of the first eight robot masters. Without this guy, Megaman wouldn’t have any butt to kick!
9) Quick Man
Gah! Oh no Quick Man! This robot master was created only for killing Megaman. He is one of the fastest masters ever created and he can give you one hell of a hard time on a perfect run. That and the fact that his stage is covered in more lasers than a museum in an action movie, and Quick Man becomes one tough Hombre!
8) Bass (Forte)
He had to be somewhere on the list, hes the classic anti-hero of the Megaman Classic Series! He may be dumb as a rock, and full of himself to no end, but Bass can hold his own and is nearly as strong as Megaman. Bass thinks Megaman is weak and that Bass is the strongest robot in the world, even though he gets his ass handed to him by Megaman in every game since MM7. But you have to love his tenacity. Which is why he made number 8 on my list.
7) King
A robot designed for one tihng, and on thing only: getting rid of humans. This puts him on the list already, but he also cuts Protoman directly in half! Hes mad I tell you, mad! The only way anyone could harm him was after Proto did his awesome balst fo death to break his shield! Can Anyone else say they deflected a direct Protoman attack and didn’t even get harmed? I doubt it.
6) Tango, Rush and Beat (tie)
Animals that give you stuff and kill robots. Really, what more could you ask for? My personal favorite is Beat, because who fights with a circular bird that doesn’t look like it could beat an egg? Megaman. That’s who. Rush is also very useful, and a necessity in later games where the rush jet or coil is needed. Sadly, I don’t know too much about Tango, but he’s a kitty! And that gives him a spot.
5) Auto (Rightot)
Probably the most useless character in the classic series, as nothing would be different without him. Yet why is he so cool? Well that’s simple, really, he’s a robot that drives a car that looks exactly like him. That’s just awesome. Also, he owns the shop in MM & B and MM 9. That’s cool too.
4) Napalm Man
Wow. He’s like the embodiment of overkill. He has bombs for hands and shoulders, and a cannon on TOP OF HIS HEAD! He even has a rocket on his back! I would NOT mess with this guy. Not only that, but he has tank treads for feet. This guy was built for warfare, and if he doesn’t kill one person a day, he’s not doing his job.
3) Dr. Wily
This guy is just balls to the wall insane. He’s not satisfied with having a skull shaped island or an awesome eyebrow dance, but he has to take over the world with an army of robots. He even created a robot made simply for killing humans! And he’s a human! And he wont give up! Wouldn’t you think hed get tired of getting his ass handed to him on a regular basis? No, not Wily! That’s why he makes it to number 3, no matter how hard he gets beat down, he wont give up. I applaud you sir.
2) Megaman (Rock)
Megaman may be the star and main warrior of the MM Classic series, and defeated 64 Robot Masters in his life, but he did it with a smile and an awesome haircut. He didn’t even get helmet hair! Now that’s true bad-assery.
And the number 1 coolest Megaman Classic character ever is…
1) Protoman (Blues)
Hes a master at whistling, has a killer scarf, is “related” to Megaman, and has some awesome sunglasses. Not only that, but he has a shield, and always seems to show up at the perfect time, to help, challenge, or just talk to Megaman. He started out as a Mid-boss and boss (Break man) but came a long way to where he is today. Hes so cool, he doesn’t even use the shop in MM 9. That’s how much ass he kicks. Protoman, we are truly humbled.
