Ke $ HA! is a Lo$er

A) A Loser.
B) A Loser.
I'll give you a hint, she's a loser. Yes, there is no other way of describing her. She is a certified loser on all fronts. I don't know really what distinguishes her from other pop artists out there that makes me want to punch her right in the face, but...oh wait, I want to punch her right in the face mostly because she's a fake, whacked out, rich 20 some year old making money off of other people's skill. I can't believe I actually put "skill" in the same sentence with Ke&ha, but I did. It needs to be said that it does take some skill to make one catchy single after another, but its not Ke%ha doing that, its the producers. She is just the face and somewhat voice in front of the song. These people make a beat and write the time signatures that make these songs catchy. Its an equation, a science if you will and these pop kids like Ke#ha and Justin Beiber reap the benefits. Nickelback have found the formula as well, and its why all their songs sound exactly the same when you break them down. They wrote one hit that caught ears about 9 years ago and they've writen almost every song since the same way. It's not talent, its cheating because the individuals who buy they're albums I can safely say, do not listen to enough music to know any better. Just like Ke*ha, they're morons. (If you do like Nickelback, safe yourself and go check out some new music and I'll still like you).
Case in point of her talents: Ke~ha performing on SNL prancing around like a lunatic in glow and the dark paint and barely hitting her notes.
So yes, we were talking about Ke!ha. So we've established she really doesn't have anything to do with why her songs are popular. It certainly can't be her lyrics that make the songs sell because I'm pretty positive she writes her own lyrics. You can really get a sense of her genius with lines like these;
“I threw up in the closet / And I don’t care.”
“Your love / Your love / Your love / Your love/ Is my drug / I like your beard”
“And now we lookin’ like pimps / In my gold Trans-Am / Got a water bottle full of whisky / In my hand bag / Got my drunk text on / I’ll regret it in the mornin’ / But tonight / I don’t give a / I don’t give a / I don’t give a”
“I’m pissin’ in the Dom Pérignon / (Come on. Let’s do it.)”
“Boy come on get your rocks off / Come put a little love in my glove box / I wanna dance with no pants on / Holla!”
“Cause the sun is coming up / And oh my God, I think I’m still drunk / Where’s my coat? / Where?”
“And now my heart is broken / Like the bottles on the floor / does it really matter? / Or am I just hung over you?”
"Whoa oh, there's a party at a rich dude's house"
Now that last quote is the actual song title as well...She has a song called "Party At A Rich Dude's House." Ohhh lordy. So yeah, I guess she's different from most pop stars and writes her own material...but is that a good thing? Maybe if I desperately grab at straws I could say something like at least we are hearing from Ke^ha herself and not some 40 year old man who writes her lyrics. But I'm not sure hearing what Ke()ha has to say is such a good thing. I mean, true, she proves my point that she is a loser with lines like “Don’t be a little bitch with your chit chat / Just show me where your dick’s at,” but I don't know if being right is worth the knowledge that this line was from her #1 hit 'Blah Blah Blah' and it got played about 30 times a day on the radio. Young girls are listening to this, and I sound like one of those concerned parents when I say, that's horrible thought.
Is it just me or does it seem like Ke?ha is forcing all of this? Her style and attitude just seems to be shoved in your face a little too aggressively for me to believe that she actually is the way she promotes herself to be. She wears what seems to be anything she can swipe from a second hand store's drop box just to create the same buzz as Lady Gaga except she fails miserably. Her "badass" attitude just doesn't seem to be her either. Like I wonder if she takes as much cock as she claims. I'm constantly reminded of a young French artist out of Ed Banger Records, Uffie, who when she emerged on the scene promoted herself in the same light. Difference being Uffie has talent. A party girl who liked to fuck and didn't give a shit. I basically just paraphrased most of Uffie's debut songs right there in that sentence. She looks sweet and innocent, but there just seemed to be more truth behind her lyrics and actions. Even if they were forcing that image, at least it worked. Uffie seems to be in control of her actions. If she wants to snort coke and do a guy in the bathroom its her decision. While Ke/ha claims she gets the boys, but what she leaves out is that the only time she gets the boy is when she gets stuffed while she's passed out drunk unbeknownst to her. Picture the scene of Casper raping a passed out Jennie in the movie Kids. I believed Uffie when she claims "I got my man, my sound, my glass, and im ready to fuck" more than Ke+ha when she belts out “Boy come on get your rocks off / Come put a little love in my glove box / I wanna dance with no pants on / Holla!" I can just picture Uffie being the cool girl at the party while Ke<>ha behing the first girl to get drunk, make out with 6 guys back to bacck, stumble into things and embarass herself and all of her friends when she pukes in the washing machine after blowing the ugly guy. Wait, maybe she is being "real" then.
If you find yourself dancing at a bar to a Ke$ha song, be a little ashamed, but not enough to stop having fun. Her producers have created some catchy songs and its not entirely your fault you want to dance to them when your drunk. Just remember to be sure you go to the washroom afterwards and wash your vagina or penis throughoughly, spell your name without any astrix's or dollar signs and make sure you aren't saying things like "I like Ke$ha because she's real" because if you do then you deserve to be puked on by your best friend standing next to you. Like right in the face with your mouth slightly open so the puke gets in a little. You know, how your bff Ke$ha would do it. She's a loser and you don't want to go down her path. Ke$!#%^&*()<>~ha in the end will amount to nothing really. She will keep making money as long as her record label backing her, but she will not make a big impact on the music industry. Having her song "Tik Tok" named the longest running number one debut single by a female artist since 1977 doesn't show her talent, it shows how ridiculous the music industry and society has become. The previous holder was Debby Boone for her single 'You Light Up My Life.' Big deal. At least Debby Boone didn't look like John Travolta
Oh how things have changed...

If you are reading this and have seen The A-Team and or want to see it, stop reading my page immediately. I don't want to be your friend. I love when you get friends telling you "I knew it would be bad, but its entertaining." No...no it is not entertaining. Don't make that excuse. I would seriously rather paint my parents kitchen than go see these movies. Another of my favourites was "there wasn't anything else playing.." Then read a book! Go for a 1 hr 47mins walk. Go to a park and hangout with a friend. Or better yet sit in a room in the dark and really think about the mistake you were about to make by spending $11.00 on a movie that has Bradley Cooper shooting down a plane with a mounted gun while he plunges to earth in a tank. And "at least watch it before you judge," isn't going to fly here either. F you if you think I need to sit and watch these movies before I can say they're bad.
Jay Z took his wife Beyonce to check out The Karate Kid on cheap Tuesday because he's friends with Will Smith and figured why not. Wrong move Hova. This picture was taken within the first 5mins of dialogue. Both Jay Z and Beyonce walked out when Jackie Chan showed up in the movie.
If I had a 10-year old son and he asked me to go see The Karate Kid with him this weekend, I'd lean down towards his precious little ear and would say ever-so forcefully "No" and then pat his head for his young adolescent stupidity. Nothing really wrong with him asking me to go, he's 10! He doesn't know any better, but I do and as his father its my duty to save myself some money. Plus he gets his bad taste in movies from his mother who thought Marmaduke looked promising. I'd go rent him the original Karate Kid and although I don't even particularly like that movie, I'd make him watch that instead on the sole principle that I think its pathetic they remade it! The movie would be bad enough alone, but add a Justin Beiber theme song featuring Will Smith's kid rapping in it? yeah, kiddo...I'm not taking you to that movie. Now go ask your Mom about the time her and I went to see Sex and the City 2 and instead of watching it your baby sister was concieved. Oh ya! Forgot to tell you, you're going to have a baby sister to share your room with because I'm not giving up my den.

Hitchcock On Ecstasy: A Blobtastic Movie Review of 'Body Double'
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 Posted by blobmc Comments: (0)
So if anyone knows me, and my love for Bret Easton Ellis, and my strange obsession with Patrick Bateman/American Psycho it was only a matter of time before I HAD to see this movie.
Said to be an homage to Alfred Hitchcock's classic suspense thrillers of the past with a touch of De Palma class, Body Heat is embedded with mystery, suspense, nudity, and violence, and an all around great watch. The story follows the protagonist, Jake, a struggling actor who after freezing up on camera while filming a low budget vampire film, comes home to find his girlfriend with another man. Distraught and required to find a new place to live Jake runs into Sam, a fellow actor who offers him a place to live. Sam himself is house-squating at a luxurious house overlooking the Hollywood hills, but has to leave town for an acting gig he got in Seattle. Seeing an opportunity to help a fellow actor and not break his agreement to watch over the house, he asks Jack to sit in for him, and water the plants. While showing off the place Sam also presents Jake with an added bonus to the house-sitting deal, "his favourite neighbour" who performs self-absorbed foreplay in front of a mirror and open blinds across the way. Over the next few days Jake becomes a budding voyeurist and he gradually becomes obsessed with her nightly rituals. However he also begins to unravel more than he bargained for. Peering from his pirtched bachelor pad, he witnesses a brutal murder and begins to undercover a mysterious plot, which has him as suspect number one.
The film stars relative no name actors, Craig Wasson as Jake, Gregg Henry as Sam and Debroah Shelton as the seductive neighbour. The only real name in the movie (other than Dennis Franz who plays a bit part of the b-vampire film director), is Melanie Griffth, who plays a porno superstar named Holly Body, who I must say, looks pretty f*n 80's hot in this movie. The performances aren't great, but not terrible either. They are simply weak at times, and from the start you will feel as if this itself is a low-grade movie, but it doesn't take long for De Palma's talent to kick in and take you away with the strong story. Gripping and terrifying scenes, the voyeristic eroticism, nudity, sometimes brutal violence and even a music video for Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax in the middle of the movie, makes this movie a thrill to watch.
Watching the movie I couldn't seem to look away. I was in constant awe of what I was watching. I can't help agree with Roger Ebert in his review of the film when he points out "The movie is so cleverly constructed, with the emphasis on visual storytelling rather than dialogue, that we are neither faster nor slower than the hero as he gradually figures out the scheme that has entrapped him." I found this to be very true and instead of trying to guess on the ending, I just watched to find out the ending. The voyeristic naughtiness throughout the film also seemed to be very effective and you can't help feel somewhat turned on yourself even though you feel like a bit of a pervert yourself. I can't speak for females, but I'm sure you'd find the same excitment...you perverts! There is something about the images you see in Body Heat that commands a certain sexual attention. I'm sure if you find this movie in your DVD player during a date, following the credits, some sexual attention of your own will be met. (The Blob does not gaurentee this however). At numerous points in the movie I said to myself "this movie is so rad." I recall one point in particular I felt somewhat blown away at the genius of De Palma's film. It was the scene when Jake is gone undercover as a porno actor in order to meet Melanie Griffith's character for the first time. De Palma shows the audience the opening scene of the porno as if it was being filmed at that moment, however somewhat different to most porno's, the opening is staged as somewhat of a music video. The scene is tough to explain, but absolutely brilliant in my opinion. This concept which you in the audience is watching a movie in the movie occurs a few times over the course of the film and I find it highly effective and engaging. Its also original for the time. Kudos for originality. The infamous "drill scene" in the film that Patrick Bateman refers to in American Psycho also lives up to its hype as I demonstrated one of my best facial cringes in a while. Like American Psycho, this movie isn't for kids and all kinds of awesome.
However, the film has not gone unscaved with critics. On occasion dubbed as a theft of the "Master of Suspense." I can see why critics would pick Body Double apart for tearing out obvious comparisons to Hitchcock films. For example, the voyerism played out by Jake in Body Double, mirrors that of Jimmy Stuarts character in Rear Window, both characters peering out their back windows into a neighbours personal life and both witnessing a murder. Jake's struggle with claustraphobia in the film is in direct relation to Jimmy Stuarts paralyzing vertigo syndrome he suffers with throughout the movie Vertigo. Another scene that could be seen as comparable is the drill scene vs. the shower scene in Psycho. I could go on really, its not hard to see the parrallels between Body Double and Hitchcock movies, but does it make it a bad movie? I say no and so does Roger Ebert gave it 3 1/2 stars citing it as "an exhilerating excercise in pure filmmaking." Rotten Tomatoes has given it an 85% and although I don't often look on movie critics for their opinions on what to watch, I tend to agree with the majority of them on this one. I love Alfred Hitchcock but I also understand that is pretty damn near impossible to make a suspense movie without ripping him off slightly. So get out of Alfie Hitchcock's ass and watch this movie. I can see why Patrick Bateman watched this film 37 times. An excellent film worthy of my Pick Of The Week! Anyone want to come over and watch it with me again? BONUS: The opening to the porno/music video mentioned earlier. Frankie Goes To Hollywood provides the soundtrack and this is seriously cut straight from 3/4 through the movie. I love it! If Glee was like this, I'd watch it. Fun Facts:(1)This also acted as FGTH's alternate music video for the single Relax. (2)For Ellis/Bateman fans, notice Jake is wearing Oliver Peoples glasses or close to them. Not so much SFW...(safe for work)

"Your Blogging is Harshing My Toke" - AGM

Now, the controversy is pretty apparent I guess. Doesn't take a genius to know that its centered around this shirt encouraging individuals to eat less in a society filled with self-image issues and riddled with eating disorders, especially in youth which is the group the shirt is project towards. The MuchMusic VJ asked an early twenty-some year old girl from the audience her opinion and of course she disagreed with the shirt's message and touched on the obviousness, stating things like; it gives people the wrong idea that eating less means you'll be better looking and more popular and she finds it offensive. Then they cue a caller who gives her opinion and judging by her video request afterwards, doesn't have a very sound soap-box to stand on or enough of a voice for me to listen to her. But basically she repeats the same argument the girl from the audience has and brought nothing new to the table. So basically I heard two young girls who disagreed with the shirt and its message. Fair enough.
But here's my question is... Who gives a shit? Really? If you don't like the shirt, don't buy it. Its a t-shirt and its just trying to be "edgy." That's nothing new. People wear things all the time to be edgy or provocative, and it doesn't necessarily have to have writing on it. This is exactly what the desinger of the t-shirt meant by putting it out. You seriously think they designed it and distributed it out because they actually believe bulimia, anorexia and under-eating is hip. They make shirts like this for the same reason they would put out a t-shirt stating "Bulimia is the new black." Gaurenteed that t-shirt would sell. I won't really go into my own opinions with self-image problems and people who actually buy into the crap Hollywood and magazines are pushing other than saying if you actually listen/believe in a shirt that says 'Eat Less', well...uhhhh, you need more help than just some guidance on your image issues.
Although on the other hand maybe we should listen to the shirt and eat less. We certainly don't need a shirt that says 'Eat More.' Look at North America. Its fat, bloated and it getting progessively worse. Deep fryers are as essential as a toilet in America and Canada can't be far off. Maybe we should listen to the shirt and eat smaller portions of more balanced foods. Less is sometimes more in the case of meals. And hey, I'll be the first to admit, I'm not the best person to judge since I'm usually blogging instead of running, but I'm sure i'll go for a run one of these days. At any rate making such a big deal about a shirt that says "Eat Less" is a waste of time and yeah, this is a waste of time talking about it on this blog, sooo. bye.
By the way, she requested the video by Taio Cruz - Break Your Heat. Not that I have a problem with this song or video, but the idea of her requesting a song that is played at least 3-5 times a day and then played another 10-20 times on the radio is boggles this blob's brain (Blob loves aliteration). Why not request a video/song that doesn't get played, some song you use to love, or even just recently love but isn't seen or heard too many times. MuchMusic and radio has nearly endless amounts of music to request so change it up and be creative with your picks! Its like guys calling into classic rock stations and requesting AC/DC Thunderstruck. But this is another rant for another day...
UPDATE (06/05/10): UO HAVE RESPONDED TO THE CONTROVERSY BY PULLING THE SHIRT OFF TH MARKET. http://consumerist.com/2010/06/urban-outfitters-causing-outrage-with-eat-less-t-shirt.html - Those sensative weiners have won again...sad.

First video up is from Miike Snow, a mix by Stuart Price called 'The Rabbit.' Not only is this video rad, the song is ah ah ahhhhh!mazing. Throw it on your ipod and go for a walk with patios popping and just love life. Then throw your ipod on at a house party and pick the cutest girl/guy in the room, grab them and dance with them on the hardwood like they are at 0:38 mins of this video, j'adore it. Or make your own moves up, be creative. And if you can dance like the girl at that part, call me, my number is 613-80(censored due to underwhelming amount of calls).
Next up is the latest single from the dancepop band Jump Jump Dance Dance, 'Modern Eyes.' Directed by the same dude who did the Friendly Fires vid for Skeleton Boy. Fun jam I must say!
Jump Jump Dance Dance - Modern Eyes from etcetc on Vimeo.
Finally, just a regular afternoon for the boys in Male Bonding. What spells summer more than the things in this video...wait...I don't remember spending my summer doing ALL of these things.
Hope you all enjoyed. Also, shout outs to Elliot, Rory and Kaylee of Mouth. If you're in Ottawa, come check them out this coming Monday June 7th, at The Rainbow Room and listen to them at http://www.myspace.com/aquapork They're bare bones rock n' roll!
Also...the often romanticized about and legendary, AGM, is making a visit this weekend. I'm ever so excited. Its going be very, very colourful.
