I've been following this very closely since this started. Earlier this year, (former?) Fangoria writer Kristy Jett started a kickstarter campaign for a new DVD release of the 1991 horror cult classic Popcorn. Watching her video, it truly seemed like she was credible with what she was saying and that really she was working hard to get this new DVD release and also was working hard on a new documentary. But she has kind of been shooting herself in the foot, in my opinion, especially whenever she has decided to take to her keyboard to defend her campaign. When the first campaign started, she was asking certain people in the horror industry to invest thousands of dollar and when they asked what they would get back from their investments, she really couldn't tell them alot and also took to offending/insulting a few of them. She has been kind of vague answering questions and has still not answered mine about where all of the extra money would go (I can only guess that it would go to the distributor) and how she planned on paying for the documentary since the kickstarter campaign and the Indie GoGo campaign (which both failed to meet their goals and weren't funded) were just for the film's new release. In the past 4 months, she has found someone to distribute it and also someone to clean up the print so it seems like this story ends with a happily ever after for the fans right?

Enter Code Red, public enemy #1 in the horror business. It seems that they are now after planning to release a new version of Popcorn 5 months before Kristy Jett's fan edition. There is alot of talk about them not really having the rights, but to be honest I don't really care too much at this point. It has seemed to switch Jett's stance from "Let's Get Popcorn Back On DVD" to "Buy Our DVD Because We Have The Rights!" and it is hurting her campaign more and more as she keeps sputtering out more shit against Code Red. She also has announced a Blu-ray since the Code Red news.

Here's my message to Kristy Jett: Code Red has had a history of not having the rights to films they announce so just leave it at that. Why does every facebook post on your page have to be about fucking Code Red and why are you going to post a fucking bog about it even after all of this bullshit? You'd think that the last two months of bitching would be enough. I mean you've already informed alot of people, most of which are too dumb in my opinion to own a computer, and they've taken it to themselves to write reviews on Code Red's amazon page calling them out on the rights issue. You've got your supporters and you have got this locked up and done so just leave it at that.

Which copy do I think you should buy? If you are scrapping for cash and don't care about features, buy Code Red's. It will drop fast from $18 to $10 in no time. If you want a copy filled with features or the supposed Blu-ray, then get Kristy Jett's which I can only guess would be priced between $20-30 for the DVD and then like $35 for the Blu-ray. Or if you'd really like, you could just buy a region 2 DVD like me and enjoy it for $3. It's your choice if you really care. You could buy the one that comes out quicker, the "one that was made possible" by the fans

There is arguably none better. He is in my mind the greatest ever. He was taken from us way too soon and today would have been his 65th birthday. RIP Freddie Mercury. The world isn't the same without you.


Aids is tragic. Do what you can to prevent from getting it and spreading it. Hopefully one day we will find a cure in honor of those who have succumbed to it, such as this great man had in 1991. We miss you Freddie and if I make it up there, I want to hear you singing everyday.

Note: While this may seem like me being jealous of far more successful reviewers/sites, that is not the case. Whether you love me or hate me, I don't give a shit. I don't get paid to do this and this is my own opinion. If you disagree with me, please leave a comment and tell me where you disagree with me on any subject on this site. I'd love to get back to you. :D

Now onto the list - 

Fangoria:

Oh I can hear my 5 viewers a day calling shenanigans already. Ok, let me explain. As an unpaid reviewer on the internet, I can tell you that it's tough. I applaud Fangoria for lasting so long in a market that has a limited audience for them and they get props for not folding and closing shop yet. But over the years, the publication has become far too mainstream. While this could benefit them by appealing to more people, it makes them lose credibility. Sure a column on Dark Shadows is interesting but it is still gonna be overshadowed when every fucking Twilight movie is a cover story. It still covers independent films, but not nearly on the scale that it used to. In fact, the majority of indie films in a usual Fangoria magazine can be found as advertisements instead of being "news" stories or even simply descriptive paragraphs. As a magazine that prides itself on being one of the top horror publications, you guys should definently look into more coverage on the lesser known flicks. I'm not saying that you should be like Bloody-Disgusting and call Automaton Transfusion "One of the best Zombie films in decades", but definently look into covering the little guys more. After you do that, I'll be able to take back this following statement:

While Fangoria notices and remembers horror, it lacks the coverage and celebration of horror at the level that makes Rue Morgue a superior outlet. 

I might not take back my feelings of Rue Morgue's superiority, but I'll atleast drop Fangoria from discussion. Speaking of Bloody Disgusting ...

Bloody-Disgusting:

While this is a less known site than Fangoria, it's in the same boat. Similar to Fangoria, it lacks completeness. While I add that BD does follow indie flicks very well, something I'll admit Rue Morgue even lacks to do from time to time, it doesn't follow the whole genre enough to be your #1 source of horror as it proudly proclaims that it is (You could attack me for calling my site Horror Movie Central, but I simply chose the name as it sounded cool. If you ask me personally how I think my site stacks up to many others, I'll tell you straight up that I'm a stranded baby in a lion's cage that is bleeding, crying, and covered in various meats holding a bowl of Sweet Baby Rays). The site also lacks objectivity as it's reviewers seem to be influenced by means other that focusing on specific criteria. For example, Troll 2 is given a perfect score for simply being "so bad it's good". Is it a cult classic? I'd have to say so. Is it a great film? HELL NO. Don't cave into peer pressure and go with the flow, have a fucking voice that has something to contribute other than "WOWEE. The Hype is truuuuueeeee!!!". And while I said have a voice, atleast have a fucking brain to go along with it and be realistic. Mr. Disgusting seems to not follow that last sentence and contradicts himself all the time. He called Automaton Transfusion "The holy grail of true independent horror films" yet gives it a mere 7/10. He states that neither Paranormal Activity movie better than the other, yet he states that #2 is not superior to #1 and rated it lower. 

But hell, what  do I expect from a guy who recently rated Final Destination 5 a 9/10. Watch that film and come back to tell me if that's right. Maybe he watched a different movie than me.

IMDB (Internet Movie Douche Bags):

The Internet Movie Data-Base isn't all that bad. It does contain a great amount of information on films and actors along with some great trivia and articles. But this is a list of OVERRATED MOVIE REVIEW SITES and IMDB epitomizes this whole page. What's the site's main problem? The ratings are based on viewer voting, not on critics who actually go off a criteria. The result? Critically acclaimed films such as Citizen Kane, hailed as the greatest film of all time, being ranked lower than all three Lord of the Rings movies, Star Wars 4 & 5, the Dark Knight, Inception, The Matrix, Forrest Gump, and fucking TOY STORY 3. In fact, I believe that the last time I checked the top 250 before, it contained a good amount of the Harry Potter flicks on it. The worst message board community on the internet, arguably next to 4chan, should not be in charge of this. I'm sorry if I offended any of you but any list that is on a site claiming so much that has Deathly Hallows Part 2 ranked higher than Gone with the Wind is a joke to me. And before you tell me to blame the community that goes there, I'll blame the editors for not having their own personal list and separating the two view points from each other kind of like how Rotten Tomatoes does it. Wait a min-

Rotten Tomatoes: 

Rotten Tomatoes is the opposite of IMDB. It lacks specific bonus shit to make people go back to it daily and gives critics the overall power in rating films. This sounds good, but it becomes troublesome as they include way too many publications and critics into their system. The result? Halloween, widely regarded as one of the best, if not the best, horror film of all time, is rated 93% and is ranked lower than [Rec], Young Frankenstein (Which I hope Rotten Tomatoes realizes isn't even a horror film), and Julia's Eyes on a list of the 100 best. Halloween is ranked 45th on the list. Even though A Nightmare on Elm Street is my favorite movie of all time, and I believe that it's #30 spot on the list is fair if not only a little off, it still does not belong higher on the list than Halloween. While Evil Dead 1 and 2 are great cult horror films, they don't deserve the #3 and #16 spots respectively. And I'm not gonna even go into how non descriptive the bad reviews they list for Halloween are anyways. There are like 5 of em and only 1 has any real analysis. If you are going to dispute a classic, you need to understand why it's loved/revered and then view it as though you are studying blueprints. The "It's a horror film and it didn't scare me so it's bad" isn't relevant anymore in this day in age so don't make that the focus of your review (You can however use that to dispute another critic's ideas). Want some more reasons? Donnie Darko and Zombieland (two films I enjoy that I feel are a bit overrated) aren't even true horror films and they are rated higher than the Exorcist, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Eraserhead and 28 Days Later is #76 on the list. Need another reason? Freaky Friday has an 88% rating and two of the three High School Musical have a "certified fresh" rating. Sorry you had to read that.

Honorable Mention: Metacritic

This is only an honorable mention due to the fact that while it is essentially just like Rotten Tomatoes, it does a few things more correctly. First off, it doesn't have a genre specific list when it comes to the top films of all time. This may sound like a bad thing but it's good in the long run. It's harder to dispute if a well received comedy is better than a well received horror film if they are on the same list. Due to entertainment criteria possibly being different as well, that opens the door even more. Like I said though, it has some big flaws as a site and this can be seen with Knocked Up being rated an 85%. As with Rotten Tomatoes, this site would be better with a few less critics and publications.



Long story short, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and this perhaps one of the least funny yet most overused jokes ever.

Yea I'm sorry, I'll have a new review up soon.

BUT NOW, ONTO SOME REAL SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UFC 129 is over and I picked 10 out of the 12 fights correctly, having only miscalled the Nate Diaz and Charlie Valencia fights. There were four mentionable things that showed from this UFC card:

The Janitor still fighting - Vladimir Matyushenko took only 20 seconds to TKO Jason Brilz yesterday night. The 40 year old Belrusian seems to be following in the shoes of Randy Couture and is resisting father time. Now I'm not going to say that he's as good as Couture is now, but he is picking up speed. Since returning to the UFC, he is 4-1.

Aldo will kill Chad Mendes - Jose Aldo gassed hard last night, but he still managed to turn Mark Hominick into the Elephant Man with expertly planned strikes. His lack of endurance has been explained by both sickness and his hard weight cut due to excess muscle he has put on. Even with both of those factors, he still won four rounds and won a sound decision after beating Hominick up for 20 minutes straight and then being bled on and punched for the last five minutes. Chad Mendes doesn't stand a chance in my book.

Lyoto Machida still awhile from being title contender - Sure, he did beat Couture with a beautiful jumping karate kick to the face last night, but remember that he was fighting Couture. Couture, now hopefully done with MMA, had been on the downslope for awhile and while still having alot of skill, he definently was being passed up by his younger talent. ENTER MACHIDA. He was on a two fight losing streak before last night and is currently only #6 in the LHW division, being behind the overrated Phil Davis, Shogun, Rampage, Rashad, and the champ Jon Jones. Forrest is also only one fight away from moving up so Machida has to pick up the pass and can't afford to be beaten.

GSP failed to finish Shields, maybe he shouldn't move up to fight the spider- I've always been against this super-fight, seeing as one guy would be at a disadvantage due to the weight change (GSP would have to permanently move up to middleweight unless he'd want to be out of shape for the fight and Anderson Silva walks around at like 200 pds or more so it'd be difficult for him to reach it without being drained). If he would've finished Shields, then it would make more sense as GSP would have showed a necessary set of boxing skills that he would need to fight the spider. He lacks the finishing power and if he were to fight the lengthier Silva, I couldn't see him taking the win. I think it would be better if he fought Nick Diaz inste---

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! OSAMA BIN LADEN IS OFFICIALLY DEAD!!!! I should probably be as excited as the other millions of Americans to see this decade long project end but it seems anti-climactic to me. We were eventually going to catch him so I'm supposed to be excited that we took 10 years to catch him and that we caught him dead? Albeit US soldiers killed him, it still seems like this took too long. I don't really want to spend alot of time on this, seeing as everyone else is whoring this story out and by now everyone has probably heard of it. As far as Al Queida fighting back, not likely. These are the people who were working out of caves. And while I seem to be shit talking the biggest "threats" to Americans, lemme go a step further. Fucking Kim Jon IL, fuck Communists, fuck Libyans, fuck ethnics, fuck all that hate UHMURICAH, and fuck you too. Was it worth the wait? Well it is if you go to 4chan's premier board and see how they are celebrating, but besides that, not really. I'm happy he's dead, but it took too long. Now with that being said, please excuse me as I'm off to watch Team America World Police and chant USA until Obama is finished with his second term in office.

No intro needed here, just need to post a new Top _____ List. :

5. DVD vendors at conventions - How dare you price all of your DVDs for three times the price listing on Amazon.com. I saw a copy of the Region 2 Freddy's Nightmare DVD at a horror convention going for $25. I got mine online for $8. I bought a region 2 DVD of Popcorn for $20 from that same vendor. I recently found and bought that same Popcorn DVD...plus 9 other movies for the same price in a boxset. Bootleggers are usually nice though, eventhough they are freeloading bastards.

4. Dickhead independent directors - The director of Slice of Life is the first that comes to mind. If people don't like your film or you know that someone didn't enjoy your film, accept their opinion and be happy that you atleast made something. Don't be a smug prick and initiate a situation that you know should have just been ignored.

3. Dickhead mainstream movie studios/producers/distributors (AKA Michael Bay and Platinum Dunes can blow me) - Stop being about money. Yes I understand that a great income of money is an important part about being a producer, but seriously. Don't make a film that sucks just because you know it'll make bank. As for studios, make films to the best of your ability. If you can't make a good film, then stop.

Here is an abridged list of companies on my bad side:

Lionsgate (For Paranormal Activity and Saw)
Platinum Dunes (For being incompetent)
Paramount (Basically for your shitty DVD releases you fucking whores)
Universal (on my bad side since 1996)
Mill Creek (Fuck your 50 movie packs)

2. Know-it-alls - Yes I understand the irony that I'm displaying here. But I'm not referring to myself at this moment. I'm talking about the people who will treat the average or casual viewer like a retard by giving them a brief (usually longer than 20 minute) synopsis of the history of horror cinema, laden with a plethora of various geeky pieces of horror trivia and possibly even getting a boner from the stench of their own douche-baggery. I understand answering a question if you're asked, but if you are someone who has to justify your love of horror by spurting off into long rambling periods then atleast do everyone a favor and check your ego at the door. Note: Just because someone is a columnist for Fangoria or something like that, that means nothing as to their actual knowledge of the genre. Alot like to think they do but they actually fall in to the category below.

1. Those who know nothing while acting as though they are the Merriam-Webster of horror -
These are the kind of people who watch a movie they liked, a movie that hasn't been heard of by many people, and instantly call it a world-renowned classic. They are the type of people who scoff at opinion and accept all that they've learned from google as the ultimatum in any argument. They are the people who will research so that they sound knowledgeable for their online "buddies". They are those who read a list of classic films and refer to them as the greats or as their favorites without ever actually watching them. You get the picture.

As a final word, I'll say fuck people, especially internet people.

In the event my review gets rejected for censorship (which is likely since I did call the director the possessor of a phallus shaped noggin), I'm going to post this here. I did give this a paragraph of rambling back in October but I felt that since it's finally going to be on DVD, I should give it an appropriate review. It has been awhile since I saw it and I feel that I may have to give it a second chance, but I still didn't like it.
--------------------------------------------------------
I originally saw this over 6 months ago in Chicago while I was at one of Horror Society's film festivals. While I saw a bunch of great indie flicks (Slime City Massacre, A Serbian Film, and Popatopolis were the three best feature length ones), I also saw some I didn't like. This was the worst of all the feature films I saw during the 2 day party.

Here's what I liked about it:

1. It was a horror anthology and I am a huge sucker for them.
2. I actually liked the idea of the first 2 stories.

Here's what I hated about it:

1. First story seems to go nowhere after dragging on for a long time.
2. Very predictable ending to the second story.
3. Third story is incredibly unoriginal. Ever see Teeth or Alien? Imagine a combination of the two along with a story of rape/revenge.
4. The special effects look as though they were added by the most basic software. If you hate that "SCARY FACE" effect that everybody and their mother who has a youtube love to try and show off, then you will want to kill yourself before the second story is over. The effect might have been cool in the 80s, but it is not scary and looks like crap.
5. The tie-in story is horrible. It's not well explained and the end "pay-off" is foreseeable and lame. Reminds me of the tie-in story to Late Fee (Ugh. Better not remind myself of that).

Now I'm giving it a 2/5 because I may give this a second chance. From what I remember it was a 1 but that could be for a few reasons :

1. The event was public admission - Being an established reviewer in the horror community, it get's bothersome to try and critique films while a large family with a ratio of 4 kids under the age of 10 to 1 mom are screaming at everything that happens around them. This doesn't just pertain to this film but it ties into my next two points.

2. It was the "WORLD PREMIERE"!!!!!! - This normally isn't a bad thing but it seems like 400 more people entered the Portage theater right as this was about to start. This includes but is not limited to one no-name reporter douche (No offense. I myself fall under this category occasionally) and his camera guy, the possibly homeless, many passerbys who wanna feel a part of something,the false hope-filled aspiring youth and also those who are those involved with #3.

3. The whole cast and crew (and their families, friends, acquaintances, and possible enemies) showed up to the event - What's worse than a theater full of obnoxious people? A theater full of obnoxious people and their "friends"/family watching a movie they were in. It's depressing since I usually express that people be proud of a hard job well done. Since this was poorly done, it doesn't apply here. The special part of the crowd spent the full time saying such insightful "Oh look dare I am!!!" and "Oh snap!!!" and "Baby you were such a good little actress". The wolf whistles were funny when we got to see a glimpse of Marv Blauvelt's beautiful backside but after hearing it everytime an average to good looking chick or kiss was on screen gets annoying.

Oh and the director Anthony G. Sumner is a dickhead. Before the screening, he pretty much informs everyone to keep their harsh criticisms to themselves and that he would just accept any applause as a job well done. After the film ended, and all the "sheeple" around me were clapping as though they just watched Vincent Price performing Hamlet, he had the audacity to go around surveying the audience as though he just made a film as amazing as Apocalypse. He asked me if I liked it, while sporting an evil grin, and I kindly gave him a **** eating grin right back to make it obvious that I had not enjoyed him movie and that I was ready to murder a theater full of people I hated at the moment.

So should you buy it? If you were in it, sure why not. If you have the outrageous $22.49 they are asking for as the pre-order price and you consider that to be pocket change, be my guest. If you are a horror fanatic, like myself, who will stop at nothing to own all horror ever, not like myself, then why are you reading this review? You are going to get it anyway. It's not the worst film of its type, but it still offers nothing new to a fluctuating genre.

From 5 to 1, I'm listing my favorite locations for horror movies. First I'll start with 2 honorable mentions

Picture
Dreams:

Most notably used in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, something is just fucking frightening about being asleep yet vulnerable. If you were afraid about your neighbor killing you, then I'd have to be an asshole to mention Freddy Krueger.
Picture
The Apocalypse:

This is a very general term but I'm a very general guy. When the shit finally goes down and people are dropping like flies due to zombies, the plague, asteroids, 2012, or whatever; I'll be ready to kick ass, or atleast try to wait it out in my basement while still keeping everything I learned from watching The Stand and reading How to Survive a Horror Movie by Seth Grahame-Smith in the back of my mind. I'll eventually run out of food, but hey, by then everything should already be desecrated to the point that I could just go house to house, store to store, brothel to brothel finding supplies, nourishment and other stronger survivors to aid in my creation of a civilization that worships the Fonze, horror movies, and nudity. If that were to happen then who'd need a cure?

And now onto the list:
Picture
5. Camp:

This should be obvious to a lot of people. I'm a slasher fan and I went to camp as a kid so I am obviously gonna be attached to this fucking locale. The campsite has been used in classic slasher flicks such as Sleepaway Camp, the Friday the 13th series, and The Burning and has become an option B for most slasher movie creators if your plan A is a piece of shit.
Picture
4. Isolation:

Some could argue that this is more of a state of being rather than an actual location. In response to that I say fuck you. This is my list and I say it counts. By "isolation" I mean a place like outer space, the middle of the ocean, the desert or anywhere else where there is a sense of being stranded/trapped by your surroundings. My best examples for this would by The Thing, the Alien films, Evil Dead I & II and The Hills Have Eyes.
Picture
3. Carnivals/Circuses:

To be very blunt with this, some people are just fucking afraid of clowns (That should be this site's tag-line). I am not afraid of clowns and I infact have a very creepy picture of one hanging up in my bedroom next to my Batman painting. While I'm not ready to shit my pants whenever I heard a balloon animal being made, something about this environment has always enticed me while seeing it on film. Maybe it's because if I was a person in that situation, I would be crying hysterically and covered in my own urine. I'm not 100% sure, but I do know for a fact that the setting is fucking cool. Films that come to mind for me are Funhouse, Dark Ride, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Freaks and Freakshow.
Picture
2. Malls:

If you knew that Dawn of the Dead (1978) was my favorite zombie film of all time, then this might not really surprise you that much. This is just one of those places that you'd love to be alone in running around and fucking shit up as you wish. Everytime I even watch Dawn anymore,  I can't help but wish that I was stuck in the top of the Mall eating Spam and messing with the lights and music on the intercom. It'd suck to have the possibility of being eaten alive or ripped apart but hey we all gotta make sacrifices. Malls are notably seen in both Dawn of the Dead movies, Chopping Mall, and Night of the Comets.
Picture
1. Movie Theaters:

Something just gives me a boner everytime I see the silver screen on the silver screen (or any type of screen for that matter). I love movie theaters. It allows the killer/monster/demon to kill the victim/character noone cared about in a massive variety of ways. It gives the feeling of the main characters being stalked while they are also isolated and trapped from the outside. They can be killed in any part of the theater in a creative and new way and it makes the viewer nervous as all hell. As the viewing audience, I believe any person reading this has been to a theater of some sort. If you see some dude killed while watching a movie, and you're sitting in the back row of the room, I guarantee that you'll start sweating bullets or atleast look around you for the nearest exits. The best films that use the movie theater would be He Knows You're Alone, Demons, Popcorn, and both of The Blob movies.

Note: The drive-in is also awesome but it's not as scary when you could drive away at any moment.
Least Favorite Horror Movie Setting-
Picture
The Hood:

Even though I enjoyed Tales from the Hood, the place has become as big of a joke in horror movies as sending your killer to space has. Nowadays, the hood is just filled with leprechauns, zombies, vampires, and Snoop Dogg (Not to mention most recently Flavor Flav). It was original at first and great to be used in blaxploitation movies but give me a break. There's only so many times you can take a generic story, insert various assorted rappers, and put them in the hood. At first it may have been funny to chuckle at but now it's dumb as hell.

Horror author ERIC MORSE has his own online radio show on Blog Talk Radio where he talks about his "career". So I decided to call in and interview him during his show about him dealing with his haters.

ME: Hello. I was wondering if I could get an interview in real quick with you.
EM: Yes of course.

ME: What's your Favorite Friday Sequel?
EM: It's hard to say, but I really liked #9.
ME: Because it was an influence?
EM: Yea it influenced my work alot.

ME: Do you support Independent film productions being bought out by bigger studios, like New Lines being bought by Warner Bros, or staying smaller like Troma?
EM: I support them going big time because of the bigger budgets and productions opportunities.
(The other guy who was on said he was against it because it ruins part of the artistic idea. He actually knew what was up unlike Morse in my opinion.)

ME: Who is your least favorite "Morse Basher"?
EM: It's hard to say out of all of the haters because most of them post anonymously.
ME: What about out of the ones who you know their name?
EM: Wil Keiper. Mainly because he posts terrible threads all over his site (HorrorYearbook.com) flaming me and I've even had to get the FBI involved. It's even worse because he was posting negative about me searching for a lost friend of mine.
ME: Yes. Dark Spider.

ME: When's the next Friday movie coming?
EM: Well I'm in talks right now with a lot of different people. One guy is doing one for Jason's Curse and it's in pre-production set to shoot next year. Another guy is doing a film for Road Trip and someone is even in talks to do one based on The Carnival even though i believe that would be a hard one for him to do.
ME: Because of the budget?
EM: Not really that. The guy is actually a carny who has access to all of those utilities.

ME: Do you ever get the feeling that the "Morse Bashers" are spreading knowledge about you to even more of the horror community?
EM: Yes I do. I do actually have thank them for that. Controversy sells and even their flaming of me is spreading my name out in the community. In fact, how many young adult authors do you know that have people waiting and willing to spend alot of their money and time, like what Corey Stevens did for Mother's Day, in order to make a film based on their work?
ME: Not that many that are alive. I'd say it's a fairly exclusive group.
EM: Exactly. I just wanna thank you for taking the time to call in and ask these questions and I'm so happy that none of the "Morse Bashers" called in to insult me. It just goes to show you what my momma told me. Expose a bully for what they are, and you expose a coward.
ME: Ok goodbye.

Not wanting to spend too much time on this since all of you already know what I'm going to say, but I need to say it. Damn!! I've been doing shitty in my MMA predictions. I correctly predicted wins for Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, Melvin Guillard, and Diego but I fucked up by picking Frankie Edgar and Jon Fitch to win their matches (both drawed their respected opponents) and Lil' Nog to beat up Phil "Mr. Wonderful" Davis. I got cheated on all three of those but they taught me something. They taught me that pretty much every single division is deep with talent (except for LHW and HW where there are only like 5 contenders max in each and most of the title bouts don't go pass the 3rd round) and Phil Davis needs to go fight in Strikeforce. He's obviously not gonna beat Jones so he might as well take on Cavalcante, Babalu, and King Mo so that maybe he'll have a chance for the gold against Dan Henderson. Hell if that don't work he can always move up to HW and retire Herschel Walker.

Speaking of Strikeforce, Zuffa and Dana White bought it earlier this month. After the deal was done, White basically expressed that Paul Daley and Josh Barnett aren't welcome back to the UFC, the UFC doesn't co-promote, there is no merger planned (yet), the woman's division still lacks depth, and business is usual. But this leaves me with a few questions:

1. How long will Strikeforce stay a fighting brand after it's 2 year contract with Showtime is up?

2. Will there be anymore CBS cards?

3. When the fuck is Gina Carano gonna come back?

4. If Cro Cop doesn't retire and fights his last fight on his UFC contract, will he go to Strikeforce? And if so can we please watch him fight Bob Sapp again?

5. Does the UFC now own all of Pro-Elite's video library in addition to Strikeforce's? (I want some more fucking DVDs dammit.)

6. If Josh Barnett wins the HW Grand Prix, will Dana really stay true to his word and not let him back in the UFC?

7. When Antonio Silva comes to the UFC, because you know it's gonna happen, will he dominate the division?

8. If Alaistair Overeem comes to the UFC, we he dominate the division?

9. Will Arlovski ever win under the Strikeforce Banner?

10. And which will Dana take over next? Bellator or King of the Cage?

That's all for now. Tootle-loo!!!

Hey guys. I'm here just to let you guys know about this fresh new artist that's slowly building up momentum in the online community.

His name? Eigh8t The Chosen One
Is he good? Does shit usually stink? Of course he's good. Why would I be spreading the word about a rapper who isn't?

Now he labels himself as "The Artist the Radio Won't Play and the Industry Won't Let You Hear". After hearing his album, it sounds like they're missing out by not having him signed.  He is currently signed by Real Skillz Records, he is a huge horror and UFC fan, and he's a hell of an artist as well. It's also really refreshing to hear a newer rap star that doesn't focus his lyrics into stories of "Sexual persuasions" or "I kill this mothafucka, and that mothafucka. I'LL KILL ANYTHING THAT MOVES!!!". The CD is full of sweet tracks and is mixed almost perfectly.

I really enjoyed this album and I cannot wait until his new new mix-tape drops on March 1st. Along with the Dr. Smith Band, this is another independent artist I'll have to keep my eyes on.

The Freshest Tracks?

Industry Won't Let You Hear
Government - I love the George Carlin samples he used.
Racist
Reign of Fire - This is my pick of the CD. It's like something you would hear on the menu screen for NBA Live or Madden.

You can pick up his music for download on Amazon mp3, Itunes, and his site: http://realskillzrecords.com/

You can also see the man himself on his Youtube page:
