disseminated///soul coughing

"I love this song and enjoy the lyrics."

The Goat chewed up,
Once a tin can.
The Goat shat out,
was a Ford Sedan.

I Like an eyeball.
I Like a square cut.
I Like a funny car.
I Like a monster truck.

Call up bop and I'm bunting stomach,
Koko mop I chop chunking plummet,
Thud on top, I ate the chocodile.

Call up bop and I'm bunting stomach,
Koko mop I chop chunking plummet,
Thud on top, I ate the chocodile.

And ever since then, I got disseminated,
And ever since then, I got disseminated,
And ever since then, I got disseminated,
Well It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The Jupiter Moon, I got disseminated,
The Jupiter Moon, I got disseminated,
The Jupiter Moon, I got disseminated,
Well It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A Toots Hibbert,
Up At the wrong prom.
Serves a beat down,
Upon a tom tom.

I like Genius
I like Jason
I like Joseph
I like Nirvana

Call up bop and I'm bunting stomach,
Koko mop I chop chunking plummet,
Thud on top, I ate the chocodile.

Call up bop and I'm bunting stomach,
Koko mop I chop chunking plummet,
Thud on top, I ate the chocodile.

The Jupiter Moon, I got disseminated,
The Jupiter Moon, I got disseminated,
The Jupiter Moon, I got disseminated,
Well It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

And ever since then, I got disseminated,
And ever since then, I got disseminated,
And ever since then, I got disseminated,
Well It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

*inst. break*

The Average Man, I got disseminated,
The Average Man, I got disseminated,
The Average Man, I got disseminated,
Well It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

And ever since then, I got disseminated,

Well It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Oscar Thoughts: Now time for mediocre

So I am taking the bigger categories and going to write a little bit about what i think should win and who will win. I will most my full oscar pics (for categories we know nothing about) on Sat. the 21st.

Text in Red is who I think will win

Best animated feature film of the year

* “Bolt” (Walt Disney), Chris Williams and Byron Howard
* “Kung Fu Panda” (DreamWorks Animation, Distributed by Paramount), John Stevenson and Mark Osborne
* “WALL-E” (Walt Disney), Andrew Stanton

Is their any other choice for the best animated film? Of the three only one is a work of art. Bolt should not be here and be replaced by "Waltz With Bashir" but that aside, Wall-E is the best picture of the year. It truly was the only incredible film of the year. Most of 2009 was mediocre.

Adapted screenplay

* “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (Paramount and Warner Bros.), Screenplay by Eric Roth, Screen story by Eric Roth and Robin Swicord
* “Doubt” (Miramax), Written by John Patrick Shanley
* “Frost/Nixon” (Universal), Screenplay by Peter Morgan
* “The Reader” (The Weinstein Company), Screenplay by David Hare
* “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), Screenplay by Simon Beaufoy

This might be the toughest category as the all have their problems. BB has become the forest gump and we can't fall for that trap a second time. Doubt is a mess and probably better on stage. F/N is based on real things that became a play with made up history in it (though i enjoyed it). The Reader is a good story but really Nazi Porn. It glorifies someone who couldn't see the wrong she did. SM is so conventional that it is a movie of the week on lifetime. It will go to SM just cause the academy is old. I think BB is better written but none of these films are really that great. Can they give it to no one?

Original screenplay

* “Frozen River” (Sony Pictures Classics), Written by Courtney Hunt
* “Happy-Go-Lucky” (Miramax), Written by Mike Leigh
* “In Bruges” (Focus Features), Written by Martin McDonagh
* “Milk” (Focus Features), Written by Dustin Lance Black
* “WALL-E” (Walt Disney), Screenplay by Andrew Stanton, Jim Reardon, Original story by Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter

This category is so much better than the previous one. Here we have 5 interesting screenplays (i have only seen 4) that translated into some of the best reviewed and most interesting films of the year. FR was incredible and the most honest film of the year. HGL is the one i have not seen. IB was surprisingly good and well written for a film with a huge action sequence in it. M was touching, honest and forthright about the issues surrounding the people. WE was great. Any of these would be a good choice. I want Frozen River but it will be either Milk or Wall-E.

Performance by an actor in a supporting role

* Josh Brolin in “Milk” (Focus Features)
* Robert Downey Jr. in “Tropic Thunder” (DreamWorks, Distributed by DreamWorks/Paramount)
* Philip Seymour Hoffman in “Doubt” (Miramax)
* Heath Ledger in “The Dark Knight” (Warner Bros.)
* Michael Shannon in “Revolutionary Road” (DreamWorks, Distributed by Paramount Vantage)

First let me say that all 5 are very good. JB really plays off Penn and they are the center of the film. RDJ takes something that could be racist and actually makes it not while still being funny. One of the best comedy performances I have seen in years. PSH is good but the film has so many problems. HL is just here cause he died. Let's be honest he wouldn't win if were alive. He may have been nominated but still. MS steals the film from the others while providing the emphasis of the film. I want RDJ or JB but we all know the obvious here. Long Live the Dead.

Performance by an actress in a supporting role

* Amy Adams in “Doubt” (Miramax)
* Penélope Cruz in “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” (The Weinstein Company)
* Viola Davis in “Doubt” (Miramax)
* Taraji P. Henson in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (Paramount and Warner Bros.)
* Marisa Tomei in “The Wrestler” (Fox Searchlight)

This is the category that i don't care who wins in. Honestly. These are 5 amazing performances and two of them make a bad movie good. I could write more but really i think who ever wins this is the best category of nominees this year. Hands down. So I am going with the most entertaining performance for me but i kind of home t hat Marisa Tomei or Viola Davis have a shot at it.

Performance by an actor in a leading role

* Richard Jenkins in “The Visitor” (Overture Films)
* Frank Langella in “Frost/Nixon” (Universal)
* Sean Penn in “Milk” (Focus Features)
* Brad Pitt in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (Paramount and Warner Bros.)
* Mickey Rourke in “The Wrestler” (Fox Searchlight)

These are 5 good performances. Seeing one of my favorite performances of the year here is great. Go RJ! I think Sean Penn shows us though why he might be the best actor out that right now (Russell Crowe get together you two need an Act off). I know the focus is on MR but let's be honest shakey cam and too close to real life makes one question how much acting and real life are merging here. I enjoyed and think MR deserved this and all the work he is going to get but really. SP deserves this so much more.

Performance by an actress in a leading role

* Anne Hathaway in “Rachel Getting Married” (Sony Pictures Classics)
* Angelina Jolie in “Changeling” (Universal)
* Melissa Leo in “Frozen River” (Sony Pictures Classics)
* Meryl Streep in “Doubt” (Miramax)
* Kate Winslet in “The Reader” (The Weinstein Company)

Ok here we go. AH proves shes more than a pretty face and is great but the camera work made me sick. not her fault but it is just the beginning for her. AJ is the one I have not seen. the reviews were not that huge and she is here because KW can't be nominated twice in the same Category. ML give the YEAR'S BEST PERFORMANCE. She makes you feel her and gives you all the realistic feelings of a woman in a bad situation. She is thoughtful and sweet, caring and edgy, and there was more than one scene where you cry for her because she is in a tough place and you feel it. MS is a bit overacting here and still hard to see her as a catholic but she is entertaining and delivers as usual.

KW brings the most contreversal performance of the year to the screen. Should we reward her for playing a Nazi who does not realize she committed genocide? Is the film just entertainment and making light of the murder of 6million jews and 4 million of minoties of europe? She is goig to win because she was right in Extras. it is her year and the holocaust wins. How shallow is the academy here? those questions aside the film and her performance did make me ask questions and wonder about lots of things. Of the 5 nominated her and ML are the only ones that i felt some lasting thoughts on.

I want melissa leo but it will be KW.

Achievement in directing

* “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (Paramount and Warner Bros.), David Fincher
* “Frost/Nixon” (Universal), Ron Howard
* “Milk” (Focus Features), Gus Van Sant
* “The Reader” (The Weinstein Company), Stephen Daldry
* “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), Danny Boyle

Ok this one is tough. I think DF did the best job of putting together a complex story. RH made a small thing feel bigger. GVS crafted a perfectly executed film. SD made the film work but my issues are above. DB is always a good director and that is the best part of this film. I think GVS should win but it will be this stupid conventional average film with great direction that seems to make a visual porn off the poor of india.

Best motion picture of the year

* “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (Paramount and Warner Bros.), A Kennedy/Marshall Production, Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Ceán Chaffin, Producers
* “Frost/Nixon” (Universal), A Universal Pictures, Imagine Entertainment and Working Title Production,Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and Eric Fellner, Producers
* “Milk” (Focus Features), A Groundswell and Jinks/Cohen Company Production, Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen, Producers
* “The Reader” (The Weinstein Company), A Mirage Enterprises and Neunte Babelsberg Film GmbH Production, Nominees to be determined
* “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), A Celador Films Production,Christian Colson, Producer

Could there ever be a reason to hate the front runner more? BB is long and not everyone's cup of tea.F/N is good glad it is here but that's it. Milk is the best film but i think because it is gay-ish that the old homophobes of the academy will not vote for it (see brokeback mountain). TR is well gald to be here. SM is average and interesting and very god directing for a pedestrian and conventional story. SM will win but I am going to chear for MILK all the way.

The Dark Knight and Wall-E should be here as they are two of the best pictures of the year.

Last Supper/Dip my balls in it

BEST SKETCH COMEDY SHOW EVER! BEST SKETCH EVER!

5 bands I don't get

Very straight foward here. these are 5 bands i don't get. i don't hate but i don't like. my indifference is quite known here.

so here they are. if you can explain them to me please do.

1. U2 - i like some songs but have trouble just sitting down and listening to them
2. The Smiths/Morrissey - I just don't get it
3. REM - see U2 but i have a harder time listening to them
4. Elvis Presley - I get his historical importance but i find him hard to listen to. most songs are cheesy too
5. Bob marley - i appreciate him but i can't listen to Reggae at all. though some songs are very good.

any thoughts?

Grammy thoughts Part 2: Coldplay still sucks

Here are my thoughts on the more major categories

BEST NEW ARTIST
Adele
Duffy
The Jonas Brothers
Lady Antebellum
Jazmine Sullivan

As i don't know 2 of these let's say that Adele should win. She is a better song writer than the other ones i know. Duffy is good but her voice gets to me a bit after awhile and the jonas brothers are lamer than coldplay.

So, go Adele.

BEST ROCK ALBUM
Coldplay, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends
Kid Rock, Rock N Roll Jesus
Kings Of Leon, Only By The Night
Metallica, Death Magnetic
Raconteurs, Consolers Of The Lonely

I put this one here for one reason, to show you that Coldplay is going to one 1 award for sure and this is it. The rest are happy to be there.

SONG OF THE YEAR
"American Boy," William Adams, Keith Harris, Josh Lopez, Caleb Speir, John Stephens, Estelle Swaray & Kanye West, songwriters (Estelle Featuring Kanye West, artist)
"Chasing Pavements," Adele Adkins & Eg White, songwriters (Adele, artist)
"I'm Yours," Jason Mraz, songwriter (Jason Mraz, artist)
"Love Song," Sara Bareilles, songwriter (Sara Bareilles, artist)
"Viva La Vida," Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion & Chris Martin, songwriters (Coldplay, artist)

I like that it will be either Adele of Coldplay. Adele wrote this amazing song and it really is fantastic. Mraz and Sara are not that good and both songs are annoying. Who the hell likes Jason Mraz anyways? he is a pussy version of jack johnson, if that is possible. I also think Kanye is overrated so that's my thought.

RECORD OF THE YEAR
Adele, "Chasing Pavements"
Coldplay, "Viva La Vida"
Leona Lewis, "Bleeding Love"
M.I.A., "Paper Planes"
Robert Plant and Alison Kraus, "Please Read The Letter"

This is one of the tough but I hope MIA gets it. That song is everywhere and it is very good. Though any of them except leona lewis (who the fuck is she?) is probably a goos choice. except cold play but i wouldn't be surprised if the iPod commercial won.

LASTLY...

ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Alison Krauss & Robert Plant, Raising Sand
Coldplay, Viva La Vida
Ne-Yo, Year Of The Gentleman
Lil Wayne, Tha Carter III
Radiohead, In Rainbows

This a cross sampling of music this year. The highest sellig album, one creative sold/given away, one you can't escape, one surpisingly beautiful, and ne-yo (who the fuck is he?).

I think is should go to Raising Sand or In Rainbows but will not be surprised if Viva suck Vida or Tha crap Carter the turd wins. sorry lil wayne sucks and it is a terrible rap record.

those are my quick thoughts. oscar thoughts start this week so pay attention for those. now back to our regularly scheduled snark and bitterness!

Grammy thoughts Part 1: Coldplay fucking sucks

So i have decided to write up some thoughts on the grammys in just a few categories.

So here are the first few thoughts:

Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals
Rock N Roll Train, AC/DC
Violet Hill, Coldplay
Long Road Out Of Eden, Eagles
Sex On Fire, Kings Of Leon
House Of Cards, Radiohead

Ok setting up the theme for the night is what will Coldplay win (not that they should but they will). I think this race is Radiohead vs. Coldplay and I want Radiohead but it will be coldplay.

BEST SONG FOR A MOTION PICTURE, TV SHOW, OR OTHER VISUAL MEDIA
"Down To Earth" (Wall-E)
"Ever Ever After" (Enchanted)
"Say" (The Bucket List)
"That's How You Know" (Enchanted)
"Walk Hard" (Walk Hard—The Dewey Cox Story)

Really I don't know here but let's go with Wall-E cause hey that movie rocked.

BEST SOUNDTRACK
American Gangster
August Rush
Juno
Mamma Mia!
Sweeney Todd—The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street

I think Juno will take this but I hope Sweeney wins out. the other three just aren't as good

BEST ALTERNATIVE ALBUM
Beck, Modern Guilt
Death Cab For Cutie, Narrow Stairs
Gnarls Barkley, The Odd Couple
My Morning Jacket, Evil Urges
Radiohead, In Rainbows

This should be Radiohead's. Unless the grammys are dumb, which they often are? Beck's album was boring, death cab's was boring, my morning jacket's was not as good as the other ones, and Gnarls is interesting but not as good as the first one.

BEST ROCK SONG
Bruce Springsteen, "Girls In Their Summer Clothes"
Radiohead, "House Of Cards"
Death Cab For Cutie, "I Will Possess Your Heart"
Kings Of Leon, "Sex On Fire"
Coldplay, "Violet Hill"

Again Radiohead vs. Coldplay. I am hoping it is Radiohead becuase it is their best song in years. I liked Violet Hill compared to the other 3 but ugh coldplay is lame.

Post 2 coming up next
