Johnny Depp Might Rock You In The Freddie Mercury Biopic

Writing by Chris on Sunday, 31 of December , 2006 at 11:22 am

I’d watch it.

However, it seems like May and other band members are supportive of the idea of Depp in the role, saying Depp was “fantastic” and “He would be a worthy counterpart for Freddie on screen”. The project is thought to be under Robert DeNiro’s Tribeca Films, since DeNiro had put his own money behind the current Queen stage musical We Will Rock You, after meeting May and Queen drummer Roger Taylor at the Venice Film Festival in 1996.

I Think I Love My Wife

Writing by Chris on Sunday, 31 of December , 2006 at 11:18 am

I love Chris Rock, but his movies… not so much (Pootie Tang excepted). This one looks pretty funny though.

Derzkiedni (Дерзкие дни) - Russian Parkour Actioner

Writing by Chris on Friday, 29 of December , 2006 at 11:57 am

This movie looks like it could be fun.

Parkour (IPA: [paʁ.'kuʁ], often abbreviated PK) is a physical discipline of French origin in which the participant — called a traceur (/tʁa.’sœʁ/) — attempts to pass obstacles in the fastest and most direct manner possible, using skills such as jumping, vaulting and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves. The obstacles can be anything in the environment, so parkour is often practiced in urban areas because of many suitable public structures, such as buildings, rails, and walls.

Hundreds of laws kick in Monday

Writing by Chris on Friday, 29 of December , 2006 at 8:36 am

The new year brings all kinds of new lawas. Some good, many repressive and dumb. God bless us everyone.

The U.S. government spends twice as much money as state and local governments combined, but state government has the greatest effect on Americans’ everyday lives — how they drive, how they get married and divorced, how they hunt and fish, and how they buy cigarettes and beer.

A WEEK OF IMAGE #1’s: THE NIGHTLY NEWS #1

Writing by Chris on Thursday, 28 of December , 2006 at 11:43 am

Looks interesting, but I haven’t had time to actually read it.

As an act of violence spirals out of control to encompass the entirety of the news media, a cult has emerged from the errors and retractions that have ruined careers, marriages and even lives. Under direction from his cult master, The Hand leads an army of followers committed to revolution, willing to die for their cause

Avatars consume as much electricity as Brazilians

Writing by Chris on Thursday, 28 of December , 2006 at 11:15 am

As with most statistics, these really don’t mean anything, but I thought it was an interesting discussion.

More narrowly still, the average citizen of Brazil consumes 1,884 kWh, which, given the fact that my avatar estimate was rough and conservative, means that your average Second Life avatar consumes about as much electricity as your average Brazilian.

Victory Lane: Luxury community will feature on-site road course

Writing by Chris on Thursday, 28 of December , 2006 at 11:04 am

Why do I picture a bunch of middle aged men drag racing down residential streets every night? I think they are going to need to put supercar guards around every light post.

Victory Lane is the name given to a 3,000 acre luxury community in Georgia that’s geared toward the motorsports enthusiast. Regular Joes need not apply — according to Andrew Goggin, president of Unlimited Speed, the site’s development company, the net worth of most Victory Lane residents will be between $40 and $70 million.

Writing by Chris on Thursday, 28 of December , 2006 at 10:41 am

I can’t say I’ve ever really noticed Mark Brook’s art, but this image of the X-Men got me browsing his deviant art page, and I really like his work.

This could suck, or… yeah, its going to suck. 

Val Kilmer is reportedly set to sign up to star in a sequel to his 1985 comedy ‘Real Genius’.

About Me

This is it. I'm not looking to become an Internet star, or buy a house off by adsense moneyz. Though I am willing to go with the flow on either.

You may have noticed that I am not a graphic designer. Or a real programmer. Or race car driver, though that may not be as obvious from the site itself. I apologize for any mistakes, ommisions, or eye gouging graphics choices I may have perpetrated on anyone through ths page
