Who can guess...which two movies...I have watched recently...?

Yes, you in the soccer jersey!!!

Wrong.

Wrong.

So, two nights ago, I watched Harry Brown.

At first I thought it was The Punisher but British and with Michael Cain as Frank Castle, then I thought it was Last House On The Left but British and with Michael Cain as the parents of the girl that was raped and killed, but then I just decided it was your typical revenge flick but British and with Michael Cain.

It was a really great revenge flick though.

It went by the book, but it was a very well written book, na'mean?

There are quite a few great moments in it.

One element that did set it aside from your typical action revenge movie like, I don't know, Payback or something in that vein, is that Michael Cain, although he was a Marine (retired, yeah?), he was in his 70's and had emphysema, so it wasn't like him coldly picking off his six targets without any trouble, it was him just barely being able to take on these punks with his training because he was hindered by his health.

There wasn't this aura of invulnerability you get from most movies like this.

In the end, it was just great to see Alfred get some screen time.

And I think of of the lead cops in it was the speaking voice of 2D.

Whatever the case: brutal, well-made revenge flick starring Alfred Pennyworth.

Check it out.

P.S. The porn version of this movie?

Hairy Brown.

Last night, I watched Munich, all two hours and forty four minutes of it.

In one sitting!

All of it!!

By myself!!!!

I know!!!!!!!!!

First off, Steven Spielberg...let it go.

The Holocaust was like a hundred years ago (if it actually happened at all, that is).

Hitler is dead (if he ever existed at all, that is).

Get over it (over what? Am I right, guys?!).

Next, excellent movie.

Why was it so excellent?

Not because it was about the Jews getting some back, not because it was well-shot and the story well-told, not because there was a toy maker turned bomb maker, no.

It was awesome because, not only was James Bond in it....not only was the villain from the most recent Bond movie in it...BUT BECAUSE JAMES BOND, THE VILLAIN FROM THE MOST RECENT BOND MOVIE AND DRAX (Michael Lansdale), THE VILLAIN FROM FUCKING ''MOONRAKER' WAS IN IT!!!! AND DRAX WAS THE FATHER OF THE VILLAIN FROM THE MOST RECENT BOND MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, James Bond was fighting alongside Julius Caesar.

The whole thing was like a fan fiction wet dream.

And, speaking of wet dreams, it might have won this year's award for Most Unsexy Sex Scene.

Also downloaded the Undead Nightmare expansion pack for Red Dead Redemption last night.

Remember RDR?

I talked about it months ago.

GTA Horse?

Yeah?

So, over the past few months, they've released a handful of DLC packs, mostly multiplayer stuff (I've never checked out the multiplayer and feel okay about that), costume stuff, extra weapons etc., but, about a month ago, I heard rumors about the designers adding zombies to the game.

Turns out they did more than that.

In this expansion pack, there's a brand new single player campaign involving a strange disease that sweeps the land, turning people AND animals into to undead monsters.

I am so fucking excited for this.

In a few days, I'll have some time and play my first Zombie Western.
Peep this.

I'm looking forward to: the main character's first encounter with the living dead and to dragging a zombie across the plains until it falls apart.

I'm in support of "zombifying" games, if it works.

Imagine a GTA game where a city the size of Manhattan is populated with the undead?

Fingers crossed.

Still quite a bit of work to do before the party, but, as always, it's going to sparkle when it's finished.

Like vampire porn actors.

All right.

I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.
