You know what time it is?

By adrenochrome | May 8, 2009

Is it time to kill all of the rude people yet?

The people that talk through a 2 hour movie, and obviously just saw it, spouting key phrases just before they happen? Is it time to do away with them?

It’s assholes all the way down…

By adrenochrome | March 24, 2009

The stinking corpse of American Ponzi finance lies at the feet of Armani clad matchstick men.

We are told this is our crisis.

We are told if the neighborhood was better, if people had paid their crooked mortgages on time. If the slightly unscrupulous of us had not taken the obscenely low bait and switch interest rates… this fine girl here wouldn’t be dead. The well dressed men throw a TARP over the corpse and collect overtime… after all, having killed her they are the only experts that can help catch the killers.

They are working on it. They promise.

When no one is looking, one of them tosses a bloody knife down a storm drain.

I know, it sounds obscene. But what we are being asked to partake is is nothing less than obscene. The plan that Geithner has put forth impunes our character. It implies on a very basic level that wall street is full of innocent lambs that knew not what their house of credit default swaps and false credit ratings would unleash upon the world. It implies that they did not know that eventually it would come tumbling down.

I’ve got news for them… It’s assholes all the way down.

They knew. And they didn’t care.

Let me repeat that, just for you that weren’t listening:

They knew, and they didn’t care.

Not one iota. You, in their world… simply don’t matter. They buy and sell you… many times over each day. Anyway they can get your money, they will. From your 401K, you pension, your taxes… it doesn’t matter. As long as they get the money, and you work to provide it. Every single one a parasite upon our country.

This isn’t to say that we are blameless. We played host to these cretins. We bought into their cries of money for nothing. Ran up obscene credit card debts, bought houses with grossly inflated values. But really, that’s the best part of a good con… they appeal to the greed of the mark. You’ve been had, again and again. They aren’t scared of getting caught… because they’ve got one con game hedging against another just waiting for you.

There is only one question now. How do we stop it? Much has been made of the economic collapse that would happen if we simply laid open the books, and let people see how bad it really is. This collapse would be biblical in nature… women and children crying in the streets, the din of nashing teeth tearing through your ears! Or perhaps not. Perhaps we just need to start over. Perhaps we need to stop buying junk, scrip currency and credit default swaps. Perhaps we need not to play the game.

The only question is, are you going to keep on hopping from confidence trick to confidence trick, or are you going to stop playing? Buy some land someplace that doesn’t tax you that much. Distill your life, and chase your dreams. Just don’t do it on borrowed money. And anytime someone mentions the word “investment”, give them a quick right jab in the mouth.

Quote of the week: Helicopter President

By adrenochrome | February 23, 2009

““The helicopter I have now seems perfectly adequate to me,” the president said to laughter. “Of course, I’ve never had a helicopter before. Maybe I’ve been deprived and I didn’t know it.”

– President Barrack Obama, replying to a question about the 11.2 Billion dollar presidential helicopter replacement program started under President G.W. Bush.

Bad Television: Fixing It (Knight Rider 2008)

By adrenochrome | February 5, 2009

It appears there was an appearant reboot, mid season about episode 12.

I’m not sure exactly what has changed, but it’s drastic. I suspect a new show runner. I’m not saying it’s great “The Wire” style drama by any means, but I think it at least matches the quality of the original series.

Gone are:

- Unnecessary Explanations of captain obvious events.

- 90% of the cheesy dialogue.

- Dues Ex Machina fixes. They’ve kneecapped the car, and rightfully so. It’s a character, not the solution to every crappy script hole you write yourself into.

In:

- Fast pacing.
- Action.
- Sense of Mystery.

Take a look:

Bad Television: Knight Rider (2008)

By adrenochrome | October 24, 2008

I used to like the old show when I was a kid. But although it was bad, it wasn’t this bad. It’s seems like someone picked up a list of the worst television mistake and used it to forge the series. Among it’s worst sins are the following:

1. Unnecessary explanations. The characters will also so things that are blinding obvious. “They sky is blue Micheal” “Are you sure?” “Yes, a nice teal blue.” “Damn!” This occurs often enough that if one were to drink upon every occurrence, you could die of alcohol poisoning before the first commercial break.

2. Sidekicks who exist only for humor value. A character that exist for no other reason than to make wisecracks. This is especially egregious when they aren’t fucking funny. At all.

3. Deus Ex Machina. In the original series, the car hard limited abilities. Now it seems to be able to do whatever is called for when it is needed to in order to further the plot. This is a crutch of weak, shitty writers.

4. Pacing. Who in gods name is running this show??? Example:

Kitt is chasing someone who is about to run off a cliff and trying to stop them. The car they are chasing plunges off the cliff. Kitt calmly stops before the cliff. And all the life is just sucked out of the scene. You think the car would chase vigously, and then oh.. I don’t fucking know… screech to a halt before the cliff, thus emphasizing that they really gave a shit about the person that died, and were really, really trying to stop them? Anytime you think the show might actually get good… it plumbs new levels of incredibly bad TV.
