Today is Halloween!

Here’s a pumpkin to set the mood.

So i somehow ended up at WORLDOFBRITNEY.COM again (this always happens every couple of months or so, i don’t know how) and there was this article about how Britney’s like all “THERE WILL BE NO MORE TOPLESS PHOTOS OF ME (honest)!”.

I’m sure most of you have seen the photos. And if you haven’t you can find them here over at apechild.com.

Anyhow, here’s that article:

Britney Spears hasn’t exactly been shy lately. She’s appeared topless on the cover of Rolling Stone and British Elle magazines and bottomless on the cover of Esquire.

“There was a time when I was like, ‘OK, I’m over men. They’re mean,'” she says. “For like six months, not a single thing happened. Not like they weren’t drawn to me, but there wasn’t a single real attraction. I’m like, ‘What’s happening? I know I’m not a lesbian.'”

“HOOOOOOO!!”

I’m looking at your face and i just want to smash it. I just want to fucking smash it with a sledgehammer and squeeze it. You’re so pretty.

psykotik2k: john romero!
jfcoggins: your brain scares me
psykotik2k: HOW SO. EXPLAIN.
jfcoggins: I’ve never started a conversation by just spouting the name of a game designer
jfcoggins: that and you are such an avril whore…but thats a good thing

Well to be honest, i really don’t have much to post about. But i figured i’d update the site anyway. Maybe put up some half assed reviews and recommendations or something. Of games, DVDs, music. That kinda stuff. Haven’t really done that in quite a while. So excuse this rather uninspired post if it does end up being crap in the end.

Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle

Picked it up on DVD recently. When i saw the movie for the first time a coupla months ago i hated it. Now after seeing again for the second time, i still hate it. I actually liked the first movie. It was pretty good for what it set out to be. The second one was just too much. Too loud. Too overblown. Too stupid. And this was supposed to be Sony’s ‘big summer hit’ (that never came to be due in part to two reasons: 1.) it sucked and 2.) it blew). Even after listening to both commentary tracks (from the writers and the director), they still couldn’t justify the overall retardedness of the movie. Plus is it just me or did all the girls get really ugly this time around? Bill Murray is sadly missed. Speaking of which, i really need to fucking watch Lost In Translation someday.

Terminator 3 Rise Of The Machines

I bought this DVD around the same time i bought CA2 FT i think. Now i realize that the DVD isn’t even out in the states yet but lo and behold, you can already get it over on this side of the world. Anyhow, the two commentary tracks on the DVD are pretty good. I liked the cast track better than the director track. Mostly because you get to hear Kristanna Loken talk a lot more than she does in the actual movie. She’s got a fucking sexy voice by the way. Wowza. I could listen to her talk all day. I really like her in this movie. Too bad she doesn’t look exactly the same in real life outside the movie though. But she’s hot in T3 and you get to see her butt. It jiggles. Oh and her boobs jiggle too (yes, i am captain obvious). Look out for the scene where she gets stuck to that giant magnet thing toward the end of the movie where she starts spazzing out. Major jiggles there. Hot.

Karaoke Revolution

I’m sure you’ve all heard of Dance Dance Revolution. Well get ready for Karaoke Revolution. I think it comes out November 4th. Maybe 7th. I dunno. It’s not available yet on bootleg but i’m definitely gonna be getting this game once it hits the store shelves. Bootleg or not. You need the SOCOM USB headset microphone thing to play the game though. Or with any other USB headset that’s PS2 compatible. Unlike DDR, instead of dancing, you’re actually singing. And the game judges you on whether you’re doing a good job or not based on the pitch of your voice to the song you’re singing. Why should you buy this game? Well for one thing, it’s got an AVRIL LAVIGNE song on there! Woo hoo! Can you imagine that? Me singing ‘Complicated’? Oh yeah, i’m so gonna rock out.

And if you don’t like Avril Lavigne, well there’s a bunch of other songs on there too.

Here’s the complete song list for Karaoke Revolution.

• Addicted
• I’m Coming Out
• All You Wanted
• It’s End of the World As We Know It
• Are You Happy Now?
• Kiss Me
• Believe
• Ladies’ Night
• Billie Jean
• Like a Virgin
• Bizarre Love Triangle
• One Week
• Broken Wings
• Red Red Wine
• Celebration
• Save Tonite
• Chain of Fools
• Science Genius Girl
• COMPLICATED (*orgasm*)
• She Talks To Angels
• Crawling in the Dark
• Smooth Criminal
• Don’t Know Why
• Son of a Preacher Man
• Every Morning
• The Power of Love
• Everything You Want
• Waiting For Tonight
• Girls Just Want To Have Fun
• When a Man Loves a Woman
• Hey Jealousy
• Wind Beneath my Wings
• Hit Me With Your Best Shot
• You Really Got Me
• How You Remind Me
• You’re the One That I Want

This could make for a really great party game event.

Texas – Say What You Want (All Day Every Day)

I was listening to Capital FM on the radio yesterday and a song that i hadn’t heard in a long time came on (don’t you just love that when it happens?). Does anyone remember ‘Say What You Want’ by Texas? It was pretty big like in 1997 i think. Not quite sure if it got any airplay in the States but here in Asia and Europe, it was a pretty big hit. Anyhow, strangely enough there’s a WU TANG CLAN remix (!) of the song featuring Method Man produced by The RZA out there. I loved this version of the song when it first came out in 98. After hearing the original again on radio after all these years, it prompted me to seek out the remix on Limewire. I uploaded the song onto my server if you care to download it. Very cool.

• Texas – Say What You Want (All Day Every Day)

Prince Of Persia

I can’t wait till this game comes out. Should probably be out by Christmas 2003 according the the demo that i played. If you pick up the November issue of the Official U.S. Playstation Magazine, you get a demo disc with a bunch of upcoming PS2 games on there, including Prince Of Persia. And oh my does this game look fucking awesome or what. I’d seen screenshots of the game in other magazines before and never really bought into the hype thinking that it’s going to be pure crap like the last Prince Of Persia game which i bought for my Sega Dreamcast and played for 5 minutes and never ever touched again. It blew. But anyhow, yeah, this new one looks incredible. And it plays like a dream. If you have a coupla bucks to spare (US$8.99 to be exact), pick up the magazine and check out the demo. It’s so worth it. Plus there’s also a demo for…

Killswitch

…on the disc. Which looks pretty hot. Can’t really say if it’s going to be a surefire hit but from what i’ve played, it looks to be at least pretty good. If not very good. Official website here.

Daikatana

Ahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha.

Okay maybe only FPS PC Geeks will get that joke. I was bored one night and i somehow found my way onto this page over at GameSpot.com. It chronicles the rise and fall of John Romero (one of the co creators of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom) and the incredibly controversy ridden development of Daikatana. One of the most overhyped and ultimately the most disappointing PC game ever released. Anyhow, if you’ve got time to spare (it took me about 2 hours to get through the whole 36 page article) and if you’re interested enough, check out that link. It’s an incredibly good read.

Finally i leave you with some long-overdue-to-be-posted fansigns which i got like 3 weeks ago. And an e-mail. I always keep forgetting to post them up. Especially in the case of the e-mail. Which i received like a year and half ago. Heh. I actually have like over 20 e-mails which i had always been meaning to post up and respond to on the site. Dating back to January 2002. Which i never did. I’m really fucking horrible with e-mail. Maybe i’ll post them all up sometime just for the hell of it. At least you’ll get to see what kinds of e-mails i used to get on a daily basis back then.

Anyhow, i present to you: Some Drunk People.

Dose it make u feel weird knowing that guys come here and leave with boners? it would freak the shit out of me. knowing that people come here mostly for the porn or get linked for porn doesn’t make u feel a little weird? personally i got over the porn part (i saw most of them) but it is now one of my daily reads you talk about interesting stuff that i agree with, like the Nelly Retardo. keep up the good work even if it involves supplying porn to horny men.

Actually no, you can’t really see much of Mandy’s pores. The pics aren’t hi res enough.

• Mandy Moore 1
• Mandy Moore 2
• Mandy Moore 3

But you can see Jessica Biel’s though.

• Jessica Biel 1
• Jessica Biel 2

The second pic isn’t as flattering as the first one. I think it’s the weird upper lip.

Smash thinks she’s hot. Keli thinks she’s not. I think she can be.

21/10/03 10:38 PM
sm4shy: btw – you think jessica biel is hot or not?
psykotik2k: ya
sm4shy: would you make fuck with her?
psykotik2k: i would
sm4shy: keli thinks shes HIDEOUS
sm4shy: and then she started pointing out flaws ruining her for me.
sm4shy: bitch

Tee hee.

What exactly ARE her flaws anyway?

Speaking of which, i need to go get The Texas Chainsaw Massacre once it’s out on bootleg DVD. I hear there’s a wet t-shirt Jessica Biel scene.

She ruled on 7th Heaven btw.

Went out last night an met up with three old girl friends of mine from grade school/high school. One of them actually an ex girlfriend of mine from way back (Italicized to indicate difference between girl friend and girlfriend). Which was somewhat awkward because i’ve never been known to keep in touch or even be on speaking terms with any of my ex’s after breaking up (even if on good terms). Do grade school ‘relationships’ count as actually relationships? I know they can’t compare with high school ones or even college ones.. being of that young an age and not knowing better about what ‘love’ really is.

To date, i can say that i have so far been in 10 relationships. With only 3 of them being what i would say ‘serious’ ones (with my 2nd, 7th and 9th.. two of which ended on bad terms). I never really knew what to think of Nikki. Was she ever an ‘official girlfriend’ of mine? Was she my first (ex-) girlfriend? I never really knew because in retrospect, it all happened during grade school (awww… it was during 5th and 6th grade fyi) all those years ago and after we ‘broke up’ i didn’t speak to her until after like 5 years later (OMG EMO).

So all this time, i’ve always been wondering what she thinks of me. Because i sure as hell didn’t know what to think of ‘us’. Maybe she could confirm it all. So of course, instead of just calling her up and asking myself, i go and get Tim (one of the other girls that i met up with last night. don’t ask about why she’s called Tim) to try to get that piece of info from her. Because i didn’t want Nikki to know i was asking around about her. Plus it would’ve seemed weird to have just brought up the fact of me and her having once had a ‘thing’ together after all these years. Probably something she isn’t too proud of maybe? And i also doubt she ever even thinks about that old ‘thing’ we had. So bringing it up would probably be kind of weird. If it weren’t for the fact that she saw me on TV about 2 months ago.

Yep. Me on TV. Acting. On this locally produced show. I don’t really know what the proper translation of the title would be in English but i guess it would be something like ‘True Story’? It’s a series of shows that are basically reenactments of events based on… (wait for it) true stories. I’ve been in 3 episodes so far. Playing bit roles (and getting paid for it too. woo hoo). So far, i’ve played a ‘serial rapist’, and a drug addict twice. Okay so i wasn’t really a ‘serial rapist’ but that’s what Nikki thinks of what my role basically was (on that one particular show).

I played this guy who picked up these two drunk girls wandering the city streets with this other guy and after a while, we both get pretty well aquainted with said girls and i end up bringing the girl to the beach, sweet talking her into coming back to the apartment and subsequently taking her into a room to bump uglies with her (implying of course. it’s a strictly PG rated show so you don’t get to actually see anything beyond the door closing as the both of us walking in. BUMMER).

That one epsiode is pretty much like the storyline of Thirteen. Good girl gets influenced by bad girl. Good girl becomes bad girl. Bad girls do bad things. Bad girls do bad boys. Bad girls goes into rehab at the end. Something like that.

I haven’t seen Thirteen yet but yeah, it pretty much mirrors some of what goes on in that movie. I think.

So how in the world did i ever get into television acting? Well as some of you might know, i’m working over at this production house place in the city that occasionally gets contracted to go out on shoots for TV shows, cooking shows, documentaries, etc etc for the national TV station here in Brunei. Just so happens that i’m usually one of the crew members that goes out on shoots for ‘True Story’. And occasionally, there aren’t enough actors to fill in the bit roles so the super cute MILF of a producer for that show occasionally casts myself to fill in said unoccupied bit roles. Which are usually pretty seedy roles. Which really is no biggie for me since it’s only like a coupla hours work for a nice sum of money. Plus i figured nobody in Brunei ever watches the local TV channel (most people have satellite TV anyway) so nobody would ever see me on those shows.

So far, i’ve been in 3 episodes of that show and i’ll be in 2 epsiodes of this as of yet unaired show called ‘Fate’. Playing some business guy dude. And i’ve also been in a couple of TV spots for some E-Goverment thing and also this one documentary where i had to pretend to be surfing the net in some cybercafe. w00t.

Of course, for some crazy crazy reason, people actually DO watch the local TV channel (RTB) and i got a whole lot of IMs and phone calls from old friends and crap right after the airing of that show where i was a ‘serial rapist’. One of whom was from Tim. Who told me that Nikki saw me on TV.

Which all led to us somehow talking about my past ‘relationship’ with Nikki and whether it really was a relationship at all. Because as i said, i never really knew if i could count her as being my first ex. And if that weren’t the case, then i could only say that i’ve only ever had 9 ex thus far instead of 10.

Yeah pretty trivial but it’s just one of those burning questions i guess. For me at least.

And so we’re back to me asking Tim to ninja some info out of Nikki about whether she ever saw me as her boyfriend. As opposed to us just having some dumb childhood puppy love thing way back when. And wouldn’t you know it, Tim got the info and called me back the next day to tell me the news. As stupid as it was (and come on it really is pretty stupid… grade school ‘relationships’ pshaw), she actually does think of me as her boyfriend. In fact, she even told Tim that i was her very first boyfriend. Which is pretty neat considering that she was my very first girlfriend.

Fact: she was also like the smartest girl in the school and also one of the most popular too. Score!

It was nice to see her again. She looked really good. The last time i saw her was like in December 2001. And the last time before that was like in… 1998 or something. Ah well. At least it’s nice to finally know that she does consider me to be her ex. Her first ex at that. Despite how ultimately silly it is anyway. Grade school exs.

By the way, *I THINK LIZZZZ IS HOTTTT WITH FOUR Ts. She’s so hot. And she keeps getting hotter. It’s either that or she’s better at taking pictures.

*She told me to say this.

Do what this guy did.

Get them quick. I might take these down if they start raping my bandwidth.

note: sorry boys, times up. rapage had started to set in. pics are gone now. you had your chance!

I personally don’t find her all that hot (not my type… although she was pretty smokin’ in Idle Hands) but here are some hi res scans of her from the latest issue of Maxim. There’s a couple of pics where she’s smuggling peanuts, and it also seems that she’s completely shaven down there.

But no pore shots. 🙁

Kill Bill bootleg DVD pictures two posts down. And if you look closely, you’ll see Versus right next to it. But more on that movie later.

So i finally saw Kill Bill. And to be honest, it wasn’t as great as i expected it to be. I dunno. Maybe it was just that. My expectations. Not to say that i really had any but at the very least i was expecting Kill Bill to be like, really good, you know? At best, i can only say that it was ‘good’. Not great, but just good. For what it is. Half a movie.

Then again i’ve only seen it once (unlike a certain Tarantino fanboy who’s seen it 5 times since it came out) so maybe the more i watch it, the more it’ll grow on me. Or something.

Things i liked about Kill Bill:

Go-Go Yubari. The little nods to Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs it had in there. And to a certain extent, Jackie Brown. Lucy Liu was pretty good too. And her little anime backstory thing was very nicely done. I actually thought that it was a lot more violent than what any of the live action stuff towards the end had to offer. Definitely a lot more cringe worthy. I hated the fact they had to go black and white during the massacre at the house of blue leaves scene though. Hopefully they’ll show the whole thing in full color on the special edition DVD (which will be released AFTER the initial barebones-y Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 DVD’s of course. Yeah Miramax, split the movie in two and then make people buy the DVD 3 times why don’t you). The silhouette fight was cool though. Oh and the movie had GREAT music.

Things i didn’t like? Go-Go Yubari’s big nose. The black and white stuff. And the fact that Miramax split the movie in half.

Plus, for a ‘homage’ movie, there sure wasn’t that many homages to be seen. Well. Nothing really recognizable anyway. Then again i don’t really have an extensive enough knowlegde of 70’s cult Hong Kong cinema to be able to recognize whatever subtle homages Tarantino might’ve snuck into the movie.

But at least they ended it with a hell of a cliffhanger. A much better one than what The Matrix Reloaded had to offer.

If splitting movies into two becomes a trend, i will be pissed. I blame LOTR and Reloaded (although those movies were justifiably split. they were planned to be that way. Kill Bill is supposed to be ONE movie. not two. maybe i should blame the Weinsteins).

After watching Kill Bill and Versus back to back, i decided that i liked Versus a bit more than i did Kill Bill. Not to say that i didn’t like Kill Bill. But i just thought Versus was a bit better.

They’re both kinda similar movies in some ways. They’re both homage flicks. Kill Bill a homage to old chop socky Hong Kong/Japanese revenge flicks. And Versus a Japanesehomage to… pretty much every good action and zombie horror movies from the past couple of decades (like The Evil Dead, Dead Alive, Terminator 2, The Matrix, Highlander, Mission Impossible 2, Robocop, Predator and a lot more). If Akira Kurosawa, Takeshi Miike, John Woo, George Romero, Peter Jackson and Sam Raimi got together to make a movie, this is probably what it would turn out like. The best Samurai/Gangster/Zombie Action Horror Comedy ever.

Here’s a little checklist of things you’ll find in this movie. (taken from here)

—————

Plotwise, the movie is pretty bare (just like Kill Bill) and it’s heavily reliant on style over substance (just like Kill Bill… Vol. 1 at least… Vol. 2 promises to be more plotty) but i’ll be damned if this isn’t the coolest looking movie ever. It’s up there with Kill Bill in terms of coolness at the very least. Maybe even cooler.

And definitely just as violent if not more violent.

Kill Bill and Versus. Two very good movies. I just happen to like Versus better.

By the way:

Go-Go Yubari. I’d like to penetrate her. Big nose and all.
