NEW 3OH!3 VIDEO W/ mp3
So Colorodo's crunktronic duo 3oh!3 has a new video out for their new and improved version of "Starstrukk" featuring Katy Perry. The new mix is 100x better than the old one, but the video is just as lacking as their previous ones (except for the bridge, whistle whistle!). It's the usual girls chasing after the band intercut with them doing random shit like mountain climbing with chopsticks. I guess it's supposed to be based on this movie or something. Here's the video courtesy of MTV, and I even threw an mp3 link at the bottom for you crazy kids. Enjoy!

WE WERE ONCE A FAIRYTALE
What apparently started off as a music video turned into a short film when director Spike Jonez teamed up with Kanye "IMMA LET YOU FINISH" West turned into this crazy, beautful, bizarre, and just plain awesome short film entitled We Were Once A Fairytale. Mad props to those crazy cats.

FPS SYNDROME
So I've noticed through my my vast exposure to violent video games, that whenever I see a movie or TV show where somebody makes it out it alive from a shootout, I can't get my head around WHY they'd just leave all those beautiful guns lying around. Goldeneye, Nightfire, Red Faction, Halo, Black, Half-Life, Grand Theft Auto, The Suffering, Time-Splitters, Hitman -- What all these games have taught me over the years is that when you shoot somebody that has a gun, YOU TAKE THEIR SHIT AFTER YOU KILL THEM.
James Bond kills his captors, armed with two Destroyer pistols. An AK-47 lies waiting on the ground to be picked up when the firefight is finished.
To demonstrate my point, here's a clip from Sam Peckinpah's Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia.In this scene, our protagonist, Bennie, is confronted by the family of Alfredo Garcia, whose severed head is in his possession. Obviously, this group is none too happy about their kin's grave being desecrated and his cabeza stolen, so they come armed with plenty of firearms to secure its return. When all seems lost, the men Bennie is retrieving the head for show up. Mayhem ensues.

Now after all is shot and done and Bennie is the last man standing (well, almost) he has all these fine weapons laying around - rifles, semi-autos, another pistol - all quite superior to what he's been holding, yet all he takes is a wallet?? WTF?!? If he had done this in his previous altercations he probably wouldn't have even been in this sticky a situation. Of course our protagonist here is suffering some mental deterioration assisted by rampant alcohol abuse, but you see my point.
Seeing this scene drove me up a wall and I suppose have video games to thank for that. I don't know whether this means we'll be seeing it reflected more in future films directed by people like me from my generation or whether I'm just an oddball, but dammit, if I ever have a gunfight in one of my stories (almost definitely), there will be absolutely NO precious boomsticks left on the ground by the end of it.
And that's all I have to say about that.
