so the basic story is this:

supposing that the literal translation of nephilim in hebrew means "one who causes others to fall" and is refering to teh offspring between angels and humans, i wondered what would possibly drive angels to fuck people for starters (esp people back then who were mcbusted) and why the negative connotation that they cause others to fall, seemingly implying that u either die or turn bad.

then i remembered unlike angels, human beings were given free will, and angels had to obey and do as they were instructed.  so an angel could not raise hand against god unless fallen, forsaking immortality and divinity.  then i thought wouldn't it be cool if angels had sex with humans in order to make hybrids that had the power of angels but the free will of humans, and thus mortal so needing a large ammount of them to mount an attack against the forces of the other angels.

so that kinda seemed cool, so i took the approach of writing the song in the 1st person point of view of teh angel i called 'fallen' (not too simple right) and that he came to earth...possibly durring egyption time, and posed as a god, hense teh winged beings w/ egyption makeup of that era of egyption culture.  posing as a living god would facilitate people offering up their daughters/wives/sisters for 'sacrifice' but in reality were just sex slaves to produce the nephilim army.  naturally the whole posing as a god thing was a ploy to create an army and keep mankind obediant to his will, while at the same time fooling the other angels that the falling was just a power trip w/ no real threat to them.

it would have been better if i included more lyrics about how fallen was an unpopular angel or not a particularly impressive or important one that wanted to lash out against his fellow beings of whom he was really jealous, and how doing so would actually make him feel worse not better, feel regret and cause the downfall of the entire angel race.  but in reality i left it more open ended for the listener to kinda put w/e they wanted into it.   i lowered the fx of the vocals to make sure enough clarity was present to hear the lyrics, i wanted them understood w/o having to look at them, minus the latin phrase i added in the chorus, but its somewhat self explanitory as the 4th itteration is teh english translation basically.

enjoy

ok lets start out with this movie was 3 out of 5 for me, BUT it was well on its way to 4.5 until the last 15-20 mins or so.

the good:
tarantino's dialogue is back in full force with no consideration for the appropriate length of a scene, the seemingly mindless chit chat between characters is far more on display in this film but even moreso as it takes place in 3 languages.  CHRISTOPHER WALTZ as SS Col. Hans Landa IS this movie reguardless of how much u think Brad Pitt was gonna steal it. all in all brad is really not a focal character though he does get the big punch line at the end that was set up throughout the film.  The violence is top notch and difference shown between the british, the americans, the french, and the germans is quite well done both with camera shot style, mannerisms, dialogue and mood/settings.  mike myers does a great job playing a 'serious' character for once, or as serious one can be in a tarantino film.  bradd pitt is very funny, not an overly dynamic roll really but at least he acts like  a guy in his 40s for once, and all in all i enjoyed him and the bastards for what they were.

the bad:
all interactions and speaches and dialogue in tarantino films build towards the characters ultimate final decision that leads to his/her demise or departure from whatever issue is driving the film in a very satisfying and complete way that upon reflection was laced w/ forshadowing and subtle hints.   Tarantino decided to take (in my opinion) his main characters Hans and Shoshana and do NOTHING of the sort.  in the case of shoshanna what was building was the ultimate revenge against her nemisis, hans, the man who killed her  family, and what we thought was the recognition of shoshanna by hans when he bought her milk, which would have been accurate for his character as the superior SS hunter.   this did not happen at all and a completely irrelivant twist resulted in a death of no value or wisdom gained for shoshanna OR her would be lover, Frederick.   Hans, clearly a loyal Nazi, german and passionate SS officer spends the whole movie loving what he does and doing it so well he has a good time completely outsmarting his prey and flaunts his superiority and certainty and total control of the situation at all times.   once he caputers pitt and bj novak, ALL of that changes for no apparent reason.  i've heard 'well he understands people so he wanted to be american yadadada" from my friends but if that is true, it was set up and displayed SOOOO poorly by tarantino he should be ashamed, and frankly he's better than that and i dont buy it.  hans CHOKES bridget to death for being a traitor violently and passionately, the first time we see him lose his cool showing his love for party and hitler, then in the next scene comicly bargins a deal for amnesty in exchange for teh ENTIRE party's leader's lives...not only that, but put the fucking bomb there himself!!!  in no way shape or form was this forshadowed, eluded to, even hinted at by tarantino and therefore in the world of cinema, makes no sense, and can be argued as a mistake.  its his world, and yeah yeah twists yadada but REAL filmakers don't make errors like that.  every tarantino character that has an opinion shift had just cuase to do so, hans was given none he simply pulls a 180 making EVERYTHING we knew about him and everything he did irrelivant.   that combined with the lost resolution between him and shoshanna makes their lunch scene not powerful at all, makes the INTRO scene (my favorite scene) worthless and ultimately makes most of the movie no story value at all as it is irrelivant to the ending.    for what the bastards did no possible outcome but teh death fo all the bastards, especially brad pit could have made sense.

lastly the historical change, no reason for it, as it was in fact irrelivant since the character of hans was broken in development, killing hitler and all teh party in such a fashion meant nothing and therefore this concept that the war could have been won sooner w/0 the A-bomb if we just dropped in some hard asses becomes retarded because in the end it did NOTHING to win teh war only the deal made by hans mattered or the bastards would have all died adn nothing would have changed, so what won the war was a COMPLETE 180 by shitty SS officer, and this film loses all continuity and value beyond basic bash em up entertainment.

the ugly:

the ugly truth is as entertaining as this movie is, as fun as the bar scene and intro scene and pretending to be itallian scenes are, as violent as the JEW BEAR is, ultimately this is one of his worst FILMS made, probably 2nd to worst as no film could be worse than jackie brown.  this film was not a complete thought and for a director who is considered an Autur (sp) like Orson wells, Hitchcock, Rodriguez, Filini, and other such stylisticly adventurous story telling directors, this movie in the story telling sense of the word falls TERRIBLY short of his abilities and i question his overall motives behind the entire thing.

being that it is tarantino, and basing this off only 4 levels of film class, 3 acting classes and maybe 10 years of film critique on my own, i must yield to a far greater mind in tarantino and other critics who liked it (the few there are) and say something clearly is being missed by me here but fuck if i know what it is, this was an ill concieved film with his usual acceptable cinimatography and dialogue, but the character resolution and plot were sadly thrown asunder for the violence factor and i can't say i approve of that because his violence factor has always been extremely relevant in a supplimental way, which this wasn't.  i must say this takes tarantino down a fairly large notch in my book and though enjoyable in a large way, i think this film is a failure on his part.

ok im putting it in writing.  i was wrong about Warrel Dane.  i said i hated nevermore cuz he sucked.   in retrospect this was perhaps an incorrect statement in light of recent developments, namely his solo album War Machine or w/e it is.

what urks me about nevermore clearly isn't Dane, its that Dane doesn't fit the band's music at all.   never more apparent than now as his solo album utilizes a style of music that truly grabs his voice and enhances the quality of pain and emotion in it, rather than cast light on his less than steller note control.  much teh same way john davis and korn changed vocal work, it took an unconventional voice and basically invented a new sound to enhance it.  this doesn't nearly come close to reinvention or anything of that level, but it truly fits and is a very worthy listen.

i no longer claim 'dane sucks' i claim that he should leave nevermore, persue solo and nevermore should get a more fititng singer.   actually i dont really care about nevermore so i dont care what he does w/ them but i do hope he continues to do solo stuff.  much like ihsahn, i think his greatest offerings will come independently.

check it out.

ok i just read about every blog i could find over MY APOCALYPSE.  its a good track folks, metallica looks like they will recover from st. SHIT w/ a decent album, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut having said that:

1)  this is not their world anymore, where artists who have continued to write through the years have managed to keep topping themselves, like alice cooper (on his what 18th album now?), were fortunate enough that the new blood didn't take the genre from them.

im sorry to say that dave mustain's writing blows away metallica now, his last 2 albums were amazing, and i dont even like megadeth.  similarly, younger bands like Trivium have incorporated metalcore to form NeoThrash and blisters anything on Justice so metallica is really not much more than a gateway band for most kids.  true some of their stuff will last forever, none of it was on justice in my opinion and all that stuff has been surpassed by other, better bands.

metallica's power in my view was Lightning, that was the definitive album that sculpted teh sound of speed, rhythm, melody and meaning w/o emphasising either one too much.

since that time the landscape they helped make has changed and what woudl have ruled had it come out in 91 wont have the same impact today for many of us.

if kids are posting "BEST SONG EVER" i'll find u and kill u, and before i do make u listen to the new TESTAMENT album first so u understand how thrash bands have evolved and destroyed what was.  The last two offerings by testament, megadeth, and slayer have put metallica into the dreaded 4th slot on the trash list right now (speaking of now not ever) and if new albums were an olympic event, they rnt even gonna pull a bronze with this.  no way its better than christ illusion, formation of Damnation, or United Abominations, and no doubt trivium's new offering will slay this too.

to those kids w/ sprayed hair, super tight jeans and white high tops and brand new kill em all shirts from hot topic, yeah i guess u would say that.

2)  the amp tone SUCKS!  are u hearing this?  dont give me shit about streaming tone is tone and sabbath had it recording the whole thing on one fucking mic i dont wanna hear streaming excuses, this tone is crap.  bob rock may have sucked in the writing process and direction but his EQ was awesome.  this is ugly sounding, almost intentionally lo fi'd to some level.

3)  after st. anger, and metallica's refusal to endorse metal for what it truly is, and their blatent trend hopping and money grubbing since reload...i just don tthink they'll be able to write something so good it will make me feel the way i did when i first found them and thought Creeping Death was the greatest song ever written.


having said all that, i am hopeful for this album to be good, prolly not great (well fucking SYMBOLIC compared to st. anger im sure) but i do hope its good, they've peaked my interest, but its not breaking my top 10 list for this year, but sure thats ok, im sure for no reason at all it will top every other magazine's (except the ones tehy didnt' pay for).

but lets face it, if u heard judas priest's album, and saw them live, THAT is a comeback folks, adn they have been doing it since before metallica was created, and that is what a real metal band does, they do not fail u ever, (well there was turbo lover but w/e) and im sorry but metallica are mortal men to me, but priest and bands alike will always be metal gods.

Dream Rig 2

basically its everything i need in one nice neat little package, ur meat and potatoes Rig. i love everything about spider III except that the solid state has the one draw back, IT OVER FUCKING HEATS and melts basically. The Spider Line has taken it up a notch by teaming with BOGNER and producing this SPIDER VALVE TUBE AMP 100w HEAD. this thing is everything for 700 bucks, and w/ the RJ45 FBV, no noise or issues w/ current or power, unique to line 6. built in noise gate, i have had the privilage of about 3 hours on this head and its everything i want for what i play, i dont even need fx pedals just the shortboard will do it. my 3 guitars i use mainly are good to go, and the picks i use are on there too. i didn't do a drawing like in guitar world cuz...well why when u can use the real gear pics?

of course the cabs are KranK cuz i love those and basically if its good enough for nergal its good enough for me, and the line 6 ones looked flimsy in the store. the kranks DO NOT. they are krank revolution as i dont like the speakers in the Krankenstein cabs. the cabs may change if i find something better. so yeah sorry no super complex set up, if u want that try my friend Geoff, he has lots of toys.

also I fixed the pic.

if i can't find videos i'll add them in comments later. this is my top 10 favorite finishers of all time. its not the best cuz how u can have a best, there is no grounds for such a dumb title, but i feel these are the 10 finishers that left the strongest impact on me in terms of execution on both parties, crowd pleasing, notability and most importantly, overall impact in proportion ot other moves in the match, after all a finisher is supposed to hurt the most to finish a match, hense the title. now they are 'signature' moves cuz they suck. and if they dont they are poor incarnations of a better move either taken too far or too simple.

so also note i dont care about the popular version, i care about teh version that was best executed or the root of greatness, this is my list so if i post X dont hit me with oh so and so did it this way and it was better aydaydayda,, clearly not to me or i would have said that. so just dig it and shut up. if u have grounds for lagit contestation, by all means hit me up i love it, but if ur answer is "that move sucks sweet chin music forever! suck it!" i'll murder u after i delete ur lack of comment.

so here we go:

10) The Vandaminator::

his name and move taken from Jean Claude himself in bloodsport, but this move gets there for 2 reasons: 1) first finisher to use a foreign object all the time that actually did something. 2) requires some skill to do a spinning jump kick like that, and no matter how he hit it, it had the chair so it made impact sound, which drove home that it was over. impact is huge and though mostly unimpressive after he gained 20lbs, RVD was durring his early wwe and ecw stint, the best in the world.

9) Death Valley Driver/Bomb::

The DVD has been famous forever, and u all love it. its currently called the FU, and its a shitty release version of the killer move. back in teh day it was the ultimate endage, and got so overused that it became a regular move durriing wcw hayday period. i love it. i think its one of the coolest looking moves, and teh bigger u are, the more devilish it looks. perry saturn had the best execution ever, but weather u call it the dreamer driver, teh spicolli driver, the kryptonite crunch, the FU, the burning thunder, its all the same shit just slight variations of the same root move, which still looks teh best.

8)Steiner Driver (suplex piledriver)::

i call it teh steiner driver cuz i think he invented it in the early 90s late 80s, but dont quote me on that. it became SUPER popular in japan when a master of pro japan, Takaiwa, started using it along w/ several other amazing moves. its VERY dangerous and led to a series of knock offs by taka mitchinoku, vampiro, and other great wreslters who made things their own. this is no longer leagal in wwe cuz of the piledriver being outlawed, so only undertaker is allowed to piledrive, but its still as brilliant as whoever put peanut butter w/ jelly. Takaiwa pictured above.

7) Top Rope Powerbomb::

there is only one powerbomb that puts the rest to shame. not the triple, not the powerbomb dvd combo, not the last ride not ANYTHING can compare to teh top rope powerbomb, if someone gets that off, u bet that match is over, and if it isn't , someone is getting powerbombed over the top rope to the outside followed up by a dead fish drop. mike awesome was probably the greatest at this, it requires superior balance, and strength by the deliever, hense mostly he used it in japan and in ecw against the tiny guys, cuz its dangerous. mike awesome is teh most impressive big man ever. no contest, not even undertaker i feel, well maybe a tie.

6) Tazmission plex
im sorry there is no youtube video for this, i can't imagine why not. it was only done one time i know of against sabu. it was an addition to Taz(z)'s famous finisher, the tazmission, he was delievering a series of reciepts to sabu for shane douglas to soften sabu up for shane, but taz flipped it and took the title shot himself after sabu's neck was injured. the tazmission plex was overshadowed by the dragon suplex through teh table taht broke sabu's neck, but no. the tazmssion into a suplex was dangerous, and stupid, adn no one knew it was gonna happen. it was not planned. it was insane. 1 time deal earns it for me, cuz it was so sick. basically half nelson rear choke into a suplex with no release. lucky he didn't die.

5) Liontamer (knee drop boston crab)
again sorry no video of walls of jericho from the good era of his wcw stint. back when dean malenko and him had fueds, and juvi and disco inferno and such. greatest shock ever was dean malenko as Cyclope in the right to face jericho hehehe. WHO DESTROYED MY PICTURE OF DEAN DEAN?! ok so yeah why boston crab of all leg holds...IT HURTS! in really real life it hurts. so why not a great finisher, u can crawl to the ropes, u can make agonizing faces, and because u face opposite ways, the ref has to move. sharp shooter was 'uncounterable' so its not quite as good cuz until wrestlemania 10 once it was on it was over (unless fugi threw salt in ur eye) but the crab is always a struggle and was a finisher of greats, like the model rick martell, and chris jericho. jericho drops a knee on ur dome and lifts the hold higher to focus on teh spine, he applied real world logic ot the move makign it more intense, and i classify it as its own move. the current incarnation is lame for some reason.

4) Shooting star press::

no look layout gainer onto ur opponent, nuff said. the tuck version is not as impressive. the kid in ECW is the first guy on teh list.

3) Diamond Dust (front flip stunner)::

what a move. the first time i saw it was that clip right there against justin credible, or w/e clip they showed leading up to guilty as charged where psycho sid debuted in ecw. fantastic move, fantastic execution. masato tanaka one of japans biggest dudes, kinda tiny here, but legendary none the less, and scarred like a bitch. this move was his flashiest one, and was known not as well as the tornado ddt onto 2 chairs, but loved as much and moreso than roaring elbow. the sell is everything with this move. credit to justin.

2) Canadian Destroyer::

r u kidding me?! that is the sickest grapple finisher ever. tna sux, but petie williams is a fuckin awesome performer. this move by itself is greatness, requires skill on both partie's, is high impact, a match ender every time and no matter the sell, gets a pop. the definition of what i was talkign about for great finishers. hands down CD is the best on ground finisher ever.

1) PHOENIX SPLASH (450 half twist moonsault)::

Invented by the GREATEST high flyer ever, Hyabusa, this japanese legend pulled this off and the whole fucking country popped. its been attempted by americans, poorly, they dont know how to work it, and where as a teddy hart 540 senton or a regular 450 is very entertaining, throwing that twist in just takes it to a whole new level. u jump blind, so u can't spot ur opponent, and after the twist, u still have 180 degrees to rotate. not easy if ur not a gymnast size or japanese. u wont see too many big guys doing it. Too Cold Scorpio tried it once and got messed up pretty bad (as in he landed on teh guy and almost killled him) but JOHN MORRISON of WWE can actually do this move, its on tape somewhere, but they wont let him. gay. but this was the greatest move of all time for skill, impact, flashiness adn u can do it to ANY opponent whcih the canadian destroyer cannot compete with, u wont CD the big show, but u can phoenix splash him any day.


another note on video BELOW::
also to people who've seen this guy, hes talented. but doing HIGH FLY moves on the floor, not high impact and just lame looking. no boom, no impact no real move then. its just floor torque like in break dancing. dont get me wrong its impressive, but when ur that small, not really. i've seen teh 360 gainer and everything, this guy just doesn't get its more impressive up top slowed down a bit. and doing it on teh floor, would remove the awe factor from any high fly move. not smart. i remember when JM did the gainer from teh floor on Tuff enough. that was cool cuz its blind spot, talent and balls. pheonix is a top rope move man, get up there and dont be a vag. dont do things homeless guys in nyc subways on cardboard w/ a boombox can do.



there were many extreme top flying moves, but the wow factor of a splash always outweights a leg drop or an elbow drop. so naturally this is the most extreme move cause a corkscrew splash is too spastic looking. the wow factor is people can still follow the motion of this move, people can walk away saying, that was fucking nuts. even if its not the most complex or difficult high rope move, its up there and i think its impact, wow factor, talent level and crowd draw are teh best of any top rope move. if i had a finisher and could do any other strength move or anything else, i would do this. its my favortie move of all time and its the best finisher ever.

ok its been long  enough for all to see it.

first of all, aliens.  the end.

no seriously, the staple of the INDY films (not unlike teh original star wars films) was practicality, believability and no hoakie mocking itself bullshit.

ok well maybe INDY 2 was rediculous but it was the height of 80s rediculous failure.  the heart rip, the plane bail out boat jump w/ the river rapids was a little off.  but for the most part they were believable.


but what has happened here is george lucas co wrote this film, and not unlike the prequals to starwars, the film has now become a parody of itself and is geared souly towards entertainment and not towards story anymore.

we have ROSWELL, ALIENS, ANTS and TARZAN VINE SWINGING!  bullshit.  lets take the positives before the negatives.  oh and indy should be dead of radiation too. but yeah positives.

positives:   we have Indy acting more or less appropriate for his age, but apparently he thinks he's rambo cuz i think stalone is the only 60 year old man who could take a beating like that.  i dotn care how u work out ur body and ur HEAD can't take the hits anywhere close to that if ur 23, let alone 63, but he is in the best shape he could have possibly been in, so good job harison.  we have brought back marian correctly, we have honored Marcus and his Father and made an illusion to Pancho Villa, linking up the Young Indiana Jones Cronicles for teh first time, providing continuity.

most importantly, the excavation of the initial dig where they find the conquistadors and the skull (maybe right up to the skull) was exactly was what indy should be, exactly how u handle the dig (except for the blow dart kids and teh hampster hole shuffle).  also the plane sequence is clutch.  but thats about where the positives stop.  oh the slugging noises being back is important to me

negatives i can remember, im sure im forgetting some:

1950s chick slugs a dude, wrong false not.  they didn't say boyfriend either they said STEADY according to my father.  but thats so minor its not worth mentioning it just stuck out.

1st of all, indy clearly died, um a lead lined fridge is not gonna protect u from teh NUCLEAR (not nuculur u bush fuck) explotion and even if it did, and u survived teh impact of that hit, he was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too close to the bomb to be saved by scrubbing, he was shitting RADS for hours until his intestines came out and his skin melted off.  just remember how many died in the MAX radius of the japanese nukes, and he was way closer to a much larger one.

2nd of all, BRAIN DAMAGE, u cannot wail on a 63 year old man like that w/o breaking his bones, its called old age and osteoperosis and after all the shit he's taken, he'd be brittle as fuck and in pieces.  

3rd of all, Crystal skulls cannot be bones dummy, CUT AGAINST THE GRAIN u just said it, hense it is CUT, if it were shaped naturally its grain would account for the natural shape.  also, crystal skulls have fixed jawlines, hense u cannot move the mouth cuz its connected at the teeth and not hollowed out.  also crystal skulls dont look like that but w/e it doesn't explain the mystery of human shaped crystal skulls so fake relik we're back to temple of doom yay.

4th of all, RED FIRE ANTS of the amazon exist, they migrate every 20 years or so, but they don't flow like scarab beatles in the mummy.  and the GOPHERS and ANTS looked way below ILM standards, total shit CGI.

5th of all, TARZAN!  what the hell r u serious, the monkeys showed him how to tarzan, i could fucking murder im not even gonna justify w/ logic why thats retarded.

6th of all, Aliens.   god damn u spielburg, can u do 1 fucking movie without OPRESSING jews or ALIENS!!!?!?!?!  ONE FUCKING TIME!!!  i hate u.  so much.  u ruin everything lately.  tricycloplots strikes again.  its a million times worse than Spinasaurus.  so we have dead aliens, who live beyond the grave, built el derado and were so advanced they just came here to chill and pose as gods but apprently suck at flying enough to crash 3 times (roswell and the 2 russian locations) who needed the 13th head to finally go back to w/e dimension they are from in their flying saucer.   yes thats very indiana jones thats just like teh arc or the holy grail.  THEY EVEN SHOWED THE ARC!!! THEY REMEMBER GOOD PLOTS!!! WHAT HAPPENED!?!!?  WHY couldn't they just go after Atlantis and do aliens so that i could have no hope of real archeology, or find the spear of Longinus or something.  ughhhhhh.  

Lastly, the hoakie jokes ridden throughout the film at the tnesest moments to destroy what little drama was in the film REAKS of the prequals to star wars.  we have episode 1'd the damn indy series.


im most upset that it made so much money, and people will think it was actually good in hollywood now and continue it.  i was hoping for a poor turnout the 2nd weekend so people would realize plot is necessary.

if u wanna know how to ressurect an old saga w sequals today w/ a 60 year old star...its called STALONE!  Rambo and Rocky were the best movies he has done since the originals, somehow.       thats how u do that, no this way, not episode 1 way.   

if ur gonna dumb it down to a hoakie fake buddy movie, its called DIE HARD and that movie ruled EVEN WITH stupid justin long in it, so clearly the templates were out there, and goerge fucked it up again.

both steven and george have forfietted their rights as great directors.  They are on my shit list forever and it would take the film of films to redeem.

there is a hope that only odd number INDY movies can rule, so perhaps a return to christian reliks, death of Indy and maybe something like uhhh fucking real archeology and not myths and writings on a prison cell will power the next film.

i  give it 6/10 for being enjoyable and entertaining mostly for nostalgia reasons, but on expectations level of what it could have been 3/10.
