Popeye:The Revenge Movie Review

INTRODUCTION: So when Winnie the Pooh became public domain, some Indy producers decided to get cute and turn it into a horror movie. It worked, albeit it was a poor movie. However, it started a trend that didn’t need to happen. Now we have the famous sailor hero killing people. Groan!

PLOT: Jason Vorhees returns again…wait, I mean popeye.

CHARACTERS: Sparse as fuck.

ACTING: Almost 1980s bad, which to be honest is actually the best part of this cringe fest, because Hollywood has been so sterilized with acting that finding a horrible performance is actually a nice change of pace. Look, it’s rare for me to dogg on someone for their looks, normally you got to be a real asshole for me to do that, but these actresses aren’t even ready to be on public access, never mind a movie. The point of casting pretty people is because they make good propaganda. Why? Think of a murder. Grizzly and ugly. Think of something like a hamburger, juicy and beautiful. Beauty is tied to human psychology with aesthetics and seems to always positively associate with good vs bad. So if you cast mid card actors with terrible development, it makes the movie even less effective. Well, at least one of them had nice tits, so there’s that, I guess.

STYLE: Low budget. It looks 2007 and that might as well be the 80s style wise now.

FX: Tom Savani called, he wants his retro fx back.

MUSIC: horribly mid as per the usual. You know the internet has plenty of musicians than can score well and much like Hollywood ignores the music industry in favor of horrible wanna be John Williams, we get garbage.

CONCLUSION: a movie no one needs, no one wants and managed to turn an icon into a knock off jason Vorhees. It’s no easy task to be this big of a fuck up, but boy did these assholes say “hold my beer.” Which I guess is ironically a success, because hey, here they are getting attention for it, which at the end of the day, most people are all about. Too bad this pitiful pos won’t recoup the most important part of doing this, the money.

“Scuse me while I kiss the sky“ a Jimi Hendrix Biography by David Henderson

INTRODUCTION: So I’m not a fan of the biography genre. I’ve read very few of them. Probably about 10 in my 39 years on this planet. Most people don’t intrigue me enough to want to know about their background. Normally it’s trite experience anyways, regardless of skin color. It’s normally birth, shit happens, some people you meet are good, some are bad, other adversaries apply, maybe a lover or two and then the person is famous or dead, one of the two. I went wanting to know more of the psychology of Jimi Hendrix, since I’m learning his music, it only makes sense to get deeper into a man, whose music I’ve heard my whole life, but never thought to learn more about. So this is my first real biography review. Not really sure how to do one, but we will try.

WRITING STYLE: Fair. From my understanding the author isn’t a non fiction writer, he was a creative writer and did this as a favor to Jimi. However, I’m reading the kindle version and the slightly wonky style could be from a bad transfer. It’s not unreadable though. There is a small bias on the authors part, as they were friends. So keep that in mind as well.

lIFESTYLE: So this biography is different than no others, as it’s basic structure as above. To be fair, Jimmy was so unique that the basic structure works here. That’s not what I’m here for though. There’s going to moments you sympathize with him and the occasional WTF moments. If you like that, this is for you.

HISTORY:This book was written in 1978, and it shows. However, the author takes great detail in explaining to you the events of the era, so people like myself get an idea of the world around him. Not necessarily a unique trope for such, but necessary for future generations who will need this context to understand Jimmy or anyone really.

MUSIC: Now this is what I’m here for! Oh god did Jimmy and his family have amazing taste in music. Songs and people I’ve never heard of. Bad bad Wiskey, live, being my favorite of all the songs I’ve listened too.

Amazing!

CONCLUSION: if you’re coming here for something salacious, you’re going to be disappointed. Sure it has its moments of “very 60s” bullshit, however it’s a very conservative portrayal of such. If you’re interested in a man and how he developed his style, you won’t be disappointed. It also offers up and otherwise interesting perspective on Jimi’s death that should not be discounted as being accurate. That’s an article for a different time, though.

5 out of 5 for Jimi fans and 4 out of 5 for a person who may just want a biography of an otherwise, interesting person.

Why Father’s and Mother’s Day need to be Abolished.

These two “holidays” should be abolished from history books because they narcissistic as fuck and falls under the category of Valentine’s Day, aka all commercials day, a day when candy and card places get together to make you buy unnecessary crap, because you were too self absorbed the rest of the year to appreciate your lover.

There’s nothing wrong with loving your parents or even appreciating them, however, just because you forgot to pull out isn’t a good enough excuse to party. Nor should your kids be forced to worship you. If you’re a good parent, you kids will, at minimum, mostly appreciate you during the year.

Can kids be moderately ungrateful? Sure! I know there were times I might not had been the most grateful, but that doesn’t make the kid bad. Any level of appreciation for what you do for them is better than none, but it still doesn’t deserve a day to itself.

If the day was for the government to appreciate the family unit, you would not have woman fighting for paternity leave and you would make it a bank holiday and make allowance for it, whilst giving people the day off. We do it for Veterans Day and for Memorial Day and isn’t family equally as important?

Speaking of which, ever notice it’s called paternity? It comes from the Latin, pater, or father. It’s all about us men, which is interesting, because some people consider kids a legacy, and well, wouldn’t a woman potentially desire that too? I doubt they wanted to be over glorified incubators for nine months out of the sheer pleasure. Although, I’m sure they enjoyed the nine months of judgement free eating that comes with it. Much like weddings are all about the woman, because it’s called holy matrimony. Which, as you guessed, comes from the Latin “mater” or mother. Because historically, within our nation, it was socially acceptable to parade your future gendered slave in front of each other’s families before you chained them to the house to basically be an over glorified surrogate mother for the boomer man-child.

Instead of caring about just the mother or father’s, I think we should consider combining them into family day. It’s like Thanksgiving, but without the historical bugaboo of slaughtering an entire race of people, like the fuckin Nazi’s, to celebrate it.

I know some of you will say “What about people who are family displaced?” To those unfortunate few, appreciate your friendships more, because that’s your family.

Happy Families Day!

Top 5 songs that would have been better for Heavy Metal.

5.) Heart, Barracuda

A riff that goes heavy. Iron Maiden were probably the ones that popularized the metal gallop in guitar, however, Heart used it, in this 70s hit, combining that with high strings, you got something iconic. Apparently it’s based around a Nazareth song. There is slightly a bit of truth that they sound the same, but legally they’re vastly different. This one definitely gets the nod for giving you a dank riff to satisfy that metal craving.

4.) Neil Young, Hey Hey, My My

Moody, atmospheric and dark, this song is a key change away, or a distortion pedal away, from being one hell of a metal song.

3.) One more time, Brittney Spears

Ok hear me out before you scoff. New Found Glory already showed this song could fit into the rock category, but could you imagine the chugging with distortion on the opening beat? It would have made nu-metal dudes creaming their pants.

2.) Taylor Swift-Look what you made me do

Leap Frog Studios already proven this song could go hard as fuck! That how I even found out this song existed. The dark lyrics with straight up gansta vibes, would be having people starting mosh pits in the streets. definitely should have been in the genre from the start.

1.) Coolio Gangsta’s Paradise

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this song was never rap and always in line with the metal genre. Gritty realism, deaths, loss and more and you got a song that sounds like it could have been part of the Melodic Swedish death metal music. plenty of YouTube guitarist have proven this correctly.

The Negative Viral Video, AKA the internet equivalent of Autistic Screeching.

I’m not a professional musician. Fuck, I don’t even aspire to be. I love playing guitar, even if it’s badly. I’ve been blessed in this life to be pretty good at 99% of the things I touch, so maybe it’s helpful to me to be more intrigued by things I can improve upon vs things that you could say “come naturally.”

I learn fairly fast too. Guitar though, isn’t something I just became even moderately good at overnight. I had to keep at it.

However, I’ve deeply learned by shit when it comes to this and think that knowledgeable is relevant. Insert Giamo(sp?) a dude who wasn’t even on my radar until the autistic brigade made him a even bigger star by bitching about how successful he was. They complained his videos were mimed, as if anything short of a live recording has never been super authentic. one watch of Money Talks by AC/DC when Angus Young was spinning around the stage would help put it to perspective for you.

So someone faking a guitar video means shit to me, because you need that type of content to be a more seasoned musician. If you’re a guitar player and you didn’t know his videos were mimed, you probably not as good as a player as you think you are. I didn’t get a chance to observe him prior to this, so I didn’t get to make a decision one way or the other on that.

What I do know is that 99% of the music industry, since the 90s, is fake as fuck, so why do we care about the rando YouTube vid? This dude fits into the music industry and “Generation Fit in or Die” is mad out of professional jealousy. Otherwise he be praised for being a fraud. Which he was, until he cut into the autism brigades profit margin, whilst exposing YouTubers for being equally as fraudulent.

I normally sit out of this Bullshit, because YouTube isn’t the real world. It’s mostly misfits who think they’re cool and they’re not, hoping beyond hope their “popularity” will fill a hole inside them, because they filled with nothing but short comings. However, since I’ve seen this bullshit one too many times before, especially in my teenage years, which caught these assholes a beat down and deservingly so.

So here is the most damaging charge. He ripped off other people’s music. Ok, that is pretty bad, however, there is an insufficient amount of evidence to this claim. One video used to slander this man, was someone pointing to a Japanese Keyboard player that ripped off a 80s pop tune and added one note. That’s not how this works, that not how any of this works.

Here’s a list of mis used terms in music and what they actually mean.

  1. Sampling: To lift the tune to another’s work and use it to reconstitute a new song. Famous examples of this are Ice Ice Baby vs Under pressure.
  2. Lick: a small amount of music, that uses a scale of notes, that are open to be used by multiple musicians because they are public domain. Famous examples of this are nearly every song from 1940-2025.

So some people are saying he stealing licks, which seems impossible from what I’ve taken time to understand on music in general. It’s like chord progressions that Ed Shareen was famously sued for, but acquitted because they’re common as all hell.

I like Kirk Hammett, but a lot of this solos haves ripped off a dozen other musicians, even by his own admittance. Enter Sandman uses Hendrix Foxy lady in a small part. Master of Puppets uses a lot of classical licks. Non of these are rip offs. Except for maybe The Unforgiven being a large majority of classical gas. How about Slayer, raining in blood which uses In The Hall of the Mountain King as an opening riff? Hendrix also used licks. However, by YouTube logic, a part of all proceeds of his music are owned by Vox, simply because the way his way pedal filtered it.

The other part comes in that he is tabbing other people’s music and selling the tabs. Watch out ultimate guitar, you’ve been doing that for years. A lot of YouTube teachers will be out of work without that as well. Cause there’s no money in teaching open chords. Tabs is not selling the music as your own, it an interpretation, normally a very wrong one, at that. If he’s talented enough to make Tabs, he is clearly got musical instincts. So you have to give him that.

So unless there is some real damaging evidence that I’m missing, I have to assume that this isn’t about the music, because you don’t really care for music, do you? No, you care that Giamo was getting pussy, one of which was probably a celebrity that the autistics felt entitled to, and it nerd raged you into killing his career. Hopefully he lawyers up and sues each YouTuber for all .25 cents of their earnings, like Diddy to Sting for the next 20 years of your Pathetic lives.

Dave Portnoy attempts to be a hero, incidentally vilifying himself.

So if you read Bestinyourgirl.com for any amount of time, you know that 25 years ago this year I was involved in an altercation in High School, because I found a Jewish girl attractive and people in my age range, being the general pieces of shit they are, took issue with it. So I can be sympathetic here. Dave ain’t exactly a fuckin’ saint, and predominantly made a name for himself on Juvenilia and immature, crass behavior. However, Dave Almost had me, when I retweeted a video where he seemed to want to build a bridge. Building a bridge isn’t creating collateral damage in the lives of people that aren’t even associated with the people that caused the ruckus.

Who the fuck fires innocent people?

Dave overreacted and according to NBC News, fired people who did their jobs. like they’re supposed to know to check every patron for antisemitic signs. In attempting to be a hero, Dave is now the villain. This isn’t going to sit well with most people. Had they been associated with, it would be one thing, However, there is no evidence for such. If you’re trying to mend fences and start a dialogue with people, it helps to shoot at the person attacking and not shot the innocent civilians. Dave is making it difficult to maintain sympathy here for me and opens himself to a massive wrongful termination lawsuit in the process. Least we forget that uh, well he supports Donald Trump. You’re kinda opening yourself to this.

Yet at this moment, the internet cares more about Bill Maher actually mending fences and gets accused of having dinner with Hitler by a “friend”. This type of imbecile shit exacerbates negative perceptions and doesn’t help. Part of the reason is because of the innocents you put in harms way. It’s natural to want to defend the innocent and waitress that, again, aren’t associated with from what I’m seeing isn’t going to win people to your side, nor is burying your friend Larry David style.

I’m not even completely convinced this isn’t a pathetic attempt at SEO from a guy, who, now adays, is known for bitching about pizza. I say this isn’t a good look for Dave, but when you’re a loud, obnoxious slob, that looks like a Oscar Madison reject, there’s no such thing as a good look for you.

Dave needs to make this right and either prove to us an association with the antisemitic patrons or hire the waitress’ back at double their salary, because if you can afford to send the idiots with a sign to Poland to see the concentration camps, you can hire back innocent waitresses.

POST SCRIPT:

Dave, ever the piece of shit he’s always been..
Dave changing the story around

So as it turns out, Dave is a piece of shit as per the usual and looking for SEO. He’s changed the narrative over and over again, not providing evidence to support his claim, and is constantly acting immature by referring to everyone as idiots. What type of PR guy lets this slip through? It’s obvious that Dave attracts the same immature like minds that he is. Jews have my sympathy when negative things like this happen, Dave doesn’t. 🖕
