Punisher: War Zone

Trailer is nice.
Impressive action sequences.
I see it yesterday without paying lot attention.
All I can say this movie amazed me.

Vengeance Has A Name.

Directed by Lexi Alexander
a female director which surprised me.
Her second film was Hooligans 2005
which I know but not interested in.

Frank Castle / The Punisher
starred by Ray Stevenson
whom I had never heard before.
He's an Irish, looks tough.

Anyway, I am not knowing well about the Punisher story.
I didn't read the comic that much, I know only a little about this character.
I saw 2004 Punisher which directed by Jonathan Hensleigh, Punisher starred by Thomas Jane.
Punisher 2004, I think was made to be a good revenge movie, Frank was both talented and lethal, he has a well planed vengeance.
2004 Punisher was a good and touching(for Frank's relationship with people lives in the same building) revenge movie.

Back on 2008 Punisher.
It was I did not pay a lot attention that I watching it and surfing web at the same time, so I think the opening credit is too long and a little bit boring.
All I know is green, guns, and is it start yet?
Then there's a dinner scene, suddenly turned dark.

You can see the Punisher, see him standing on the table, you know he's gonna shoot whatever it cost, he will shoot like his bullet are free.

Well, it really really surprised me. It's more than that.
And it also surprised me when I know this is directed by a female.
It's full of surprises.

This time Punisher is so angry, he shows no mercy, that's really cool.
For I don't see any angry character recently, this Punisher really excited me.
This dinner scene then turned out be a massacre.

I had to remove all my memories of Frank Castle which in that 2005 movie and go on this new 2008 bloody gore action flick.
When Frank shows no mercy vehement killing all bad guys, our villains can't be weak.

Jigsaw, one of villains in 2008 Punisher, after deciding get even with the Punisher. He went crazy and also vehement, along with his brother or somebody, Loony Bin Jim played by Doug Hutchison, and his first scene in Punisher is in an asylum or something where I couldn't help thinking that he was Percy Wetmore in "Green Mile (1999)" who ended up in an asylum.

Ok, Jigsaw was pissed, crazy, vehement, furious and planed to revenge, Loony Bin Jim was a lethal maniac, death could not stop him.
What a crazy story.
How long I had ever seen a crazy movie like this one.
Both maniacs, one represent justice, the other thirst for blood and chaos.
All the fighting scenes were incredible, and all that gore, bloodstain things always came out with a surprise.
For people who haven't see this yet, I can't talk about too mush details.

It also featured Slipknot's single "Psychosocial", another excited moment.
And the end scene was cool.
I think this Punisher might be the ideal comic realization... well, I don't really know how he doing in the comic actually.

quick review on The High End of Low!


The first track Devour starts with whole new matter that different from Marilyn Manson used to and the whole album continues.

Whole album sound likes a Gothic industrial Southern metal with twisted sound effects, hysteric dying vocals, kinda cool.
Such as Four Rusted Horses and Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon.

Devour is so not Marilyn Manson used to, not before Manson sings I can't believe that I'm listening to Manson's work.
Impressive Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon twisted devastating guitar loop.
Four Rusted Horses is definitely a Southern country folk style Gothic Vampire march.
I had a excellent listening experience on this one.
Running to the Edge of the World, once again another Manson style love tune after Man That You Fear, Last Day on Earth and Coma White.
Wow has an decayed or fallen India style sound that's unique.

Brand new Marilyn Manson concept featuring Twiggy(yeah!! he's back!) on Guitar and Bass.
Worth listen!

And Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon video is also amazing that bring all symbols and concepts back together.

Soda Green - a Little Love Song
Uploaded by

Two similar music videos, on the top is "a Little Love Song" by Taiwanese indie band "Soda Green" made around end of October2006.
The other is "Montreal" by Canadian indie band "Malajube" done Feb,2006.

One member of "a little Love Song" music video filming crew once had a comment on this coincidence conceptually, he said "Found this music video with 95% similarity on net after the whole filming process was done... it's too late to redo, so we can only force ourselves go on the post-production."

That's a fact, will any one take?
Once I drew a rabbit, although it's setup basically decided, but I thought there's something missed.
So it's been postponed months, and one day I saw a 98% similarity rabbit doll while hanging out.
Thus, fact like that, I do believe.

There is a theory I found in a book about intellectual property rights when I was working on a thesis last year. It states that all creations are created under influences from environment and society, and so on.(*)

(*)Postscript,
From Thesis of Intellectual Property, page 83rd. by Xiong-lin Xiao.
(Ok, the following contents are translated by myself with spoken English or what.)

Creations which protected under intellectual property rights are necessarily required "originality". The Originality only required independent creation,"novelty" is not necessarily required.

Creations which only substantially similar to creations that made by others and have no novelty will not be debarred from the protection of intellectual property rights
[Sheldon V. Metro - Goldwyn Pictures Corp.,81F. 2d 49(Cir 1936 aff'd 309(1946))]

Originality is only a reason why creations is belong to its creator which is independent creation and not plagiarized.
Therefor, even if one creation is absolutely the same as one created before, but it was a result of independent creation and not plagiarized, will also be protected under intellectual property rights.

In other words, Originality here is a relative and comparative concept.
(p.30 Studies of Intellectual Property Rights (1943) by Yoshihini Kido)

This is because, human thoughts and emotions were usually influenced by the past. Based on old cultures added creativity and made a new idea.
For example, western philosophy of Plato was influenced by Socrates.
Immanuel Kant's philosophy was a compromised result between the empiricists and the rationalists.
Beethoven's early works was influenced by Haydn.
In China, Zhuangzi was influenced by Laozi and Mencius was influenced by Confucius.
Japanese epic novel Nansō Satomi Hakkenden by Bakin Kyokutei was a imitation of Chinese classic novel Water Margin by Naian Shi.

Freddy Got Fingered - A 2001 Movie


I first saw this movie maybe around 2002 and 2003, I don't remember.
By that time, there is no Youtube and one try to find a clip or film on the internet is really tough. And want to watch any Tom Green shows on TV of this island was merely possible.

Anyway, during that couple year, I did saw Tom Green's Freddy Got Fingered on TV, and on this island. Amazing, barely to believe it.
And this is the most impressive comedy ever. I added it in my book of "Must See Comedies Before You Leave This Planet".

I don't remember when I know Tom Green, but so sure that since I knew him (maybe MTV) and I was into his universe. I like his ideas, although it looks dumb, really crack me up.

Well, it's 2009 now, been 8 years after it's released. I finally have a chance to watch it again, and during these years I only got his "Road Trip"(2000) which so my ideal Tom Green but as a supporting role is pity and "Stealing Harvard"(2002) which I think was a little bit lost of his originality made this a normal comedy.
During these years I thought Tom Green has gone or something, no more huge releases.
(seemed he did more TV shows or video releasing something so I can barely know.)
And there was Scary Movie(2000), popular than Tom Green.

Anyway, I even made a image with he in "Road Trip"(as you can see, I really thought he's missing.)

Ok, back on where I was, I have a chance to watch it again, and through a process of subtitle editing and translation, I watch it over and over. Hilarious. And watch it frame by frame, I can see some interesting details that I missed first time. And watched it over and over again make Gord Brody triggered into my brain. And I am so like him right now.
This is the only movie that written and directed all by Tom himself. Awesome.
Quotes now fills my mind.
If I were still a teenager now I might act like him.

And now I also did some information searching when I am working on this article.
Tom Green had attend the reality TV show " The Apprentice" eighth season but embarrassed been fired on episode three.
I watched that season on the tube, it makes me a little frightened.

Jeez, again I lost my point.
(5/18 update)See, I forgot something,
This film won five Razzies, including worst picture, worst actor and worst director.

Sounds so familiar, sounds so Slipknot?

Truth that No one Believes pt.2?



This song, called "絕色", by a Japanese Visual Rock Band "新興宗教楽団NoGoD"(Shinkou Shuukyou Gakudan NoGoD) which means Grand New Religious Band NoGoD.
The song from their latest album "極彩色".
quite great band.

I just felt this song contains some pieces (riffs mostly)
so similar to Slipknot's work,
but I couldn't find out which maybe two.(maybe Stone Sour)
so you decide, maggots.


They are NoGoD.


5/3 updates
NoGoD's "極彩色"which contained"絕色" was released on Feb. 25th,2009.

And now I've found clip of Slipknot's single "Disasterpiece" which has similar riffs and that may be one of the reason I think "絕色" is so Slipknot.

Disasterpiece from Iowa (Aug.28th,2001)
