I know people’s takes on the The Dark Knight remain polarized. Some people loved it. Others people hated it. Well, I loved it and that’s that. For those who belong to the opposite pole, better close your browser tab. Go surf porn. While I wouldn’t make this a full-blown fanboy rave, this post will mostly contain praises for the film.
The title says it all. Batman and Robin and their chronic nipple-itis destroyed the Batman film franchise but Batman Begins turned things around. And even compared to the Tim Burton Batman movies, I considered Batman Begins as the best Batman movie ever. That was then.
My Name is Earl is one of my favorite TV shows probably, second best next to House. But the last season was totally crappy it has started to sink low in my personal ratings. To make matters worse, check out this scene from the comeback (after the writers’ strike) opener:
I’m still in shock with the news. Rico has got to be one of my favorite local music personalities out there. And Rivermaya became a favorite ever since he took the reigns and led ‘Maya to transformations.
Likewise, no offense to the amazing talent that is the remainder of the group but ‘Maya without Rico is pretty much like pork adobo without the pork.
It just occurred to me. I’ve always been reading about the tradition of yelling “Freebird!” in rock concerts in the US. To those who aren’t familiar with the topic, Freebird’s a song by legendary Southern US rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd. If you’ve watched My Name is Earl and god-forbid Elizabethtown you may have seen references to this anthem.
I have no arguments against this. Freebird’s probably overrated, say, compared to other 70s rock anthems but it’s a nice song. Smooth topped off with an incendiary guitar battle at the end. The song’s been so ingrained in the American rock culture that it’s been an old running “joke” to yell out a request for it. Never mind if the band’s borders more on jazz. Here’s an article about it, The Curse of Freebird.
Hi! I'm Alex, a 20-something blogger. I'm finally reorienting this blog to focus more on my takes on the discourses of social media. But don't be shocked if I still get to post about the mundane, the asinine, and the trivial. Feel free to contact me.
