Why Do Americans Watch Propaganda in the Movie Theatres?!?

Great more bollox...

Another election year, another president running for his second term and another biased documentary leaning towards the opposite way of the current president you may as well cut off the leg of wherever they wish to lean. For this year it's right. Yea I really don't know who comes up with this shit or who finally gives the say on whether these documentaries get produced or not but one thing is clear, they're immensely fucking biased no matter how informative they are.  

Just look back eight years ago when Michael Moore set out to destroy George Bush with Fahrenheit 9/11, once again made and produced during that election year where George Bush fought for his second term in office. Did it affect the election? Nope, and I highly doubt this will either. You see these documentaries always appear informative and draw mad opinionated conclusions that for all you know may be a fact. But it may not be, you see watching Fahrenheit 9/11 you will draw a conclusion that George Bush is the devil and we must stop him and his quest for middle eastern oil. All that information you have consumed may again be in doubt when you see the likes of Christopher Hitchens (may he RIP) go on the news and say that all that information was complete bullshit. So then it becomes a pissing war where everyone is shouting random "facts" at each other to try and convince voters and it becomes almost impossible to find the real information because the biased media cant decide on how flip the "facts". 

What is outstanding though is the fact that some people cant decide whether it is biased or not. I mean really? The trailer to this garbage has first of all dramatic weird ass middle eastern music and images of revolts across the world portraying an apocalyptic setting. Plus it paints the fact that anti-colonialism is a bad thing and that America is the only country to spread liberty. As a non-American I find that slightly offensive, just saying. As well as that I don't know how exactly you Americans see anti-colonialism, but it's kind of a good thing throughout history. Take King Leopold II and his conquest of the Congo, his rule of the Congo resulted in the death of about 10 million natives. And your shocked that the president of the United States is anti-colonialism? Considering that the president is half-black and his roots are tied to Africa....obviously. Just saying....

I mean it doesn't take a fucking genius to find out about the presidents life. There has been many books on the presidents life and from what I heard they're are boring as fuck, the only difference is most legitimate biographers aren't biased. But that isn't what shocks me, what truly shocks me is that a lot of Americans are taking the effort to run off to the nearest cinema showing this movie and paying money. When you can easily watch biased piece of crap information on the news you just have to take your pick; MSNBC or Fox News.  And guess what? It's totally free....kinda. 

I see this is gonna be a trend every eight years in America, at least make them entertaining. Fahrenheit 9/11 was at the very least funny, this Indian dude doesn't look remotely funny, just saying. Give me your thoughts on this bollox.

Dark Knight Rises Discussion (Beware Spoilers)

"So.....yea, Dark Knight Rises. Totally not like, movie of the year or...something." Is what I would say if I was dickhead. Well, bigger dickhead. But the point I am trying to make is that this film must be a benchmark for closing trilogies as spectacular as this did. I mean not a lot of movie franchises remain as consistent as this trilogy, actually, scrap that barely any movies can compare to Christopher Nolan's Batman. These films are something that will stand the test of time a lot like the Star War's trilogy. But, there wont be a lot of knock off's and such. Well, lets hope not...

Actually a more suitable comparison would be to compare Nolan's Batman to the Godfather trilogy. And I know what you're thinking, the Godfather never had a trilogy it was two movies and that's that, well for just this once we're going to include Godfather 3. Now when we think of the two Godfather movies we think of the second one mainly because it was so fucking good, pretty much being a benchmark for amazing storytelling. Again we can easily compare this to the Dark Knight the second movie to Nolan's Batman, an amazing introduction to Batman's arch nemesis the Joker who was played by the late and great Heath Ledger. Arguably the best in the trilogy, a lot like the second Godfather movie. Now in comes Godfather 3, and we're given a completely different Michael Corleone, and it sucks, plain and simple. It just doesn't keep up with the standards of the second or the first and that is exactly why it is forgotten and why no one will consider it worth watching. Batman's third entry is probably the most unforgettable out of the three movies.

Basically in Godfather 3 Mario Puzzo and Francis Ford Coppola should have stopped at its peak. Was it possible to make a good sequel to the Godfather 2? Well they tried and failed and because of this many people will forget the amazing accolades the Godfather achieved. Such as both films getting preservation in the United States National Film Registry, the boatload of Oscars they achieved and Stanley Kubrick naming the first Godfather movie as the greatest movie ever made. As for Nolan's third entry on Batman we can see a potential future of this being one of this century's best movie trilogies.

So the legacy of Nolan's Batman is always going to be filled with awesome memories and amazing actors portraying the best villains against Batman. The Dark Knight Rises being the most unusual in its selection of villains but in my opinion and entirely my own is that I prefer Bane over the Joker. I'll even go as far to say that The Dark Knight Rises is my personal favourite Batman movie entirely because it just goes all out. Nolan holds back quite a lot in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight to keep the reality levels of the movie in check and to make sure the movie isn't too over the top. For The Dark Knight Rises both Christopher and Jonathan Nolan decided to say 'Fuck it! It's our last hurrah on making this series, why the fuck not?' and put Gotham right in the hands of the villains, making it a royal shit storm for Batman and Bruce Wayne.

Sure The Dark Knight Rises is flawed, not immensely flawed, small flaws in the plot make it slightly annoying and hard to contrast to the bullet proof (plot wise) Dark Knight. Hell I'm sure gonna give it another go and enjoy the fuck out of Bane once more and maybe see how the film holds up a second time around. So now you can stop reading, and have my permission to comment your opinions...

Why did previous Punisher movies fail? Because they were made by idiots...

Ok Lionsgate, you had your fun with the movie rights of Frank Castle and everything related to The Punisher. Now is the time for you to give it away so Thomas Jane and possibly Ron Perlman to make the best Punisher movie possible. 

Now I'm going to be honest, I have seen neither of the two Punisher movies mainly due to the terrible reception from Punisher fans which there is a boatload of. I just didn't seem convinced by the trailers and other promotions for both of those films, they tried to appear more action orientated than they should have. And this is painful to watch as Frank Castle isn't a hard character to portray, I mean there is tons of stuff from the source material they can use. Take Garth Ennis's work on the Punisher which I believe was a nine year run, his work got Frank Castle bang on. 

Garth Ennis is known for quite a few Punisher story arcs but one of my favourite is from issue 50 volume 6 onwards. That was the arc when they introduced Barracuda again and was out for Frank Castle, but the major twist in the story was that Barracuda had Frank's daughter. Unbeknownst to Frank of his daughters existence Frank had to make some big decisions. A pretty cool arc to introduce new Punisher fans to the awesome Frank, but my personal favourite is Garth Ennis's work in The Slavers. An awesome scene in that where Frank repeatedly bashes a women against an apartment window from seven odd stories up. And that's just two examples of awesome story arcs! 

Well there is no excuse when you make a shit Punisher movie Lionsgate, you have the audience and the right source material so either get Thomas Jane back or fuck off. Best possible Punisher movie being made would have Jane starring and Ennis in the writing department, man a boy could dream. Either way Jane and Perlman have made a statement with this short ten minute clip and it mainly revolves around "fuck you Hollywood".

Anyone else think this would make an awesome Jack Daniels commercial? Also read this...

Prometheus Rant (and why I love it!) NO SPOILERS!

Hey guys! Long time no see, yea I get it we haven't posted in quite a while but we're approaching are final year in school and as always exams ensue. So least to say we're pretty freaking busy at the moment. And yes, I know this Bl4rG looks abandoned but we're working on a return to the usual repertoire of all things..........Bl4rGable? 

Anyway, I logged on to talk about one thing and that is this years highly anticipated Sci Fi movie Prometheus. I am not going to review it because I don't have time to, maybe later this month if possible. But I just wanted to say my two cents on the movie and I'm glad to say that I cant say anything really bad about the film itself, it's a truly enjoyable movie that Scott has directed. But I just want to clear up anything everyone has said about...what exactly this.... film is....

Now it is a prequel, that is obvious, but what I came away from was a film that broke the rules of the original 1979 classic Alien. And for that I'm truly grateful Scott, the Alien franchise had already killed itself so long ago that the original Alien itself was now a children's toy easily accessed at Disneyland. The horror! So I consider this the best achievement the film set out to make and that's all I'm going to say about the actual movie. You can judge for yourself what the film achieves you like most and I can say that it makes quite a lot of them. It's a pretty ambitious film to say the least. 

Now the question I asked myself before seeing this movie and was killing me for the past week. Where should my expectations lie? Simply look at film for what it is, don't consider it as an Alien prequel and recognise it as a new movie in that universe, so try look past the Alien similarities. And for the love of God don't think they're going to answer every question in one movie! That would make for a baaaaad movie, just saying folks. 

Hope you guys enjoy the movie when it gets released in wherever you live, it's pretty fucking awesome. 

We'll be back Bl4rGing soon kk bye

P.S. Fassbender is amazing! I'm dressing up as David for Halloween...........or just for fun.

Deadpool Movie Finally Gets A Director! Good News and Bad News!

The long due Deadpool movie finally gets a director and finally lifts itself out of the monstrosity film industry limbo. Tim Miller is the man for the job making this his directional debut and possibly a lift from usual repertoire of his CGI career.

The man has some familiarity with Marvel, working on CGI in both X-Men movie's, and seems to have worked on a fare few comic book movie adoptions such as Scott Pilgirm vs the World  and Daredevil. The screenplay is written by Rhett Reese whose most notable work is Zombieland. And the movie will departure from X-Men Origins: Wolverine, thank god for that piece of news.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that Ryan Reynolds who's a fan favourite to play Wade Wilson/Deadpool is looking unlikely. Even though he shows interest in the project and that "his dream come true" would be a full adaptation of the Deadpool comic, Ryan Reynolds is just really busy. Everyone (males included) all want Ryan Reynolds to take his top off, and because of this Hollywood want him in everything. The fact that he is a full on pretty boy, makes it a difficulty for him to play Deadpool. Wade Wilson is scarred and mutated and doesn't take his mask off to often, think this will go down well for studio heads? Don't think so.....

But then again, Ryan has much enthusiasm for Deadpool and I wouldn't tear him off yet. I am just pointing out that if it goes ahead that Deadpool is played by Ryan Reynolds, it more than likely wont be the Deadpool we all know and love.

Well we will find out soon when a trailer appears, but until then we will have to wait and see.
