Joy to the World!

It's that time of year again... today is...

SCOTT LAWN APPRECIATION DAY!



It was this day, 24 years ago on January, 26 1984 that a young, lucky Puerto Rican woman named Haydee Rosario Lawn gave birth to a son unlike most that have walked this Earth. On that baby, the doctors noticed something strange. There was a SIGN on him that read To: World, From: God. That's when everyone figured it out...

On this day, celebrate with your family and friends! Eat! Drink! Put presents under the Scott Lawn tree! REJOICE! CELEBRATE THE DAY THAT SCOTT LAWN WAS BORN!

Christians, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Agnostics, Atheists, Scientologists, and whatever crazy cult you belong to... should all celebrate!

Joy to the World, Bitches!

JOY. TO. THE. WORLD.



I'd like to personally thank bellasusana for posting on her own blog about this worldly Holiday before Scott Lawn himself could! You should all try to learn from her example!

Scott Lawn Appreciation Day/Apocalypse Now/Hard Boiled

In just a few more days, it will have been 24 years that I have been alive. January 26th! A Saturday! I'm pretty excited, and thankful that I'm still alive, healthy, and ambitious to do many big things in my life. I have a feeling that 2008 will be THE YEAR of Scott Lawn, as well as the rest of the years after that. Seriously, it's a great year to be a Scott Lawn supporter! I'll be celebrating my Birthday on three days:

This Friday night will be a family thing, I'll be hitting up the Kowloon with them to dine with my parents, brother, sister, brother-in-law, and my two nephews. All while being in a restaurant filled with Chinese food, dim lights, and possibly some type of band playing music.

This Saturday night I'm getting trashed. Plain and simple.


On Sunday, I'm hoping to see the new Rambo film in theaters, and I also have to celebrate my nephews birthday since his is near mine. He's having a Pirate themed party for his 5th birthday, so I'm gonna give him his cake while dressed up as a Pirate, haha! I'll have pictures of that up at some point down the stretch.



While trying to figure out what to do with my life now that the Super Bowl is not for another two weeks, I found this video on youtube. A scene from one of the best war films ever made, Apocalypse Now. It's the scene where they fly in on Helicopters to attack a Vietnamese village while playing The Ride of the Valkyries through the speakers as they get there. After that, even when the area is still very hostile, the colonel just wants everyone to start surfing the waves in the ocean nearby. It's very bizarre. It also has one of the most famous quotes in all war movies, I love the smell of napalm in the morning! Watch the video, you might want to just skip to the 2:34 marker, as that is when it starts to get good. Be patient and watch!

I have to send the link directly rather than embed it on this blog... the asshole who posted the video disabled that feature!

And to end this blog entry, I have here a website that someone made: The Things I Learned From Watching Hard Boiled. It's pretty funny, seeing as though it's probably one of my favorite movies of all time.

Thanks for reading,

Tom Brady is fine you idiots; Diary of the Dead Praise!

Photobucket


It hasn't been long since those morons at TMZ released a video of Tom Brady visiting his lady-friend wearing a walking cast... A WALKING CAST... and people are already saying "ZOMFG HE'S INJURED!!!!!!!!!!!!!" If you go to the TMZ website you'll run into a bunch of idiots making a bunch of idiotic comments. So, here's a source from bostonherald.com

http://bostonherald.com/news/regional/general/view.bg?articleid=1068152&srvc=home&position=0

Are you kidding me? Does everyone all of a sudden forget who's name always ends up as "PROBABLE" on the injury report even when he's healthy!!?
Tell me, are you idiots REALLY THAT GULLIBLE to fall for this? Do you really think that Bill Bellichik would let him go out if he was really badly injured? He'd have him under lock and key. Tom Brady even said himself...

“Ah, you know, there’s always bumps and bruises. I’ll be ready for the Super Bowl,” Brady said, when asked point-blank if he had a leg injury. “I’m not worried about that. I’m not missing this one. I’d have to be on a stretcher to miss this one. There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It’s nothing serious.”

But never mind that, you'll fall for it hook, line and sinker. I'm afraid that none of you realize the type of coach Bellichik is. He WANTS everyone to see him like this, don't you get it?
And even so... it's a WALKING CAST! Which means HE'S ABLE TO WALK AROUND!!? Have you taken into consideration that the Super Bowl is TWO WEEKS AWAY!!? TWO!! A.K.A. way more than enough time to heal whatever a walking cast is needed for!
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that all of the Anti-Patriots are getting their hopes up for this because it will only hurt more when Eli loses the game viciously, but I'm just pointing out the fact that some of you are SO STUPID that I can come over to you, say it, and then laugh about it after my point is proven.

Heh!

The next thing I wanted to speak about, was Diary of the Dead. Diary of the Dead is George Romero's newest zombie film. He was responsible for making three of the best horror films ever made... and then he directed Land of the Dead. There are a few things that are especially unique about this film...
  • This is his first film since Night of the Living Dead that is 100% independent. No BIG MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY backing this one, he just has the help of his partner Peter Grunwald, and a group called Artfire.
  • This film is truly his own. He describes not having this much freedom since he made Night of the Living Dead (and we all know how mind-blowing that was)!
  • The cast is filled with "Unknowns", in other words, no one famous. A lot of times everyone see's this as a bad thing, but with a director like Romero it's a damn good thing.
  • From what I saw in the preview, it seems to be all/mainly Blair Witch style, kind of like Cloverfield was, as both cast from each movie seem to be "Documenting" the events that are unfolding in the film. I don't believe that Romero is ripping off J.J. Abrams monster movie because both directors were working under the radar... and Romero screened his film way before Cloverfield got released into theaters. If anything, he copied Blair Witch, haha!
I believe this movie is going straight to DVD or just in select theaters, as the release date for this film is set in February. I think that if this was hitting the major theaters we would have seen tons of hype for this film months ago. This film has already been screened in a few festivals... so yeah. If you want more information about this film, I suggest hitting up the official myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/diaryofthedead/

Here's the preview...



Hope you all enjoy it!

The Patriots are going to the Super Bowl!

Photobucket


The New England Patriots are 18-0
Don't hate, appreciate!

Bring on The New York Giants!!!! Just another victim!!!!!!!!

Cloverfield: Go see this film!

Photobucket


Cloverfield was awesome! It has the Blair Witch style where the movie is shot from the point of view of someone holding a camera for the whole thing (a fucking good quality camera that is VERY durable... I might add).

J.J. Abrams follows his own style when he made the show Lost, which means... WTF!!? Confusing as hell. I didn't really know what the fuck it was until I saw the movie. I was assuming it was an alien movie when I first saw the preview right before Transformers, but nope! I guess it came from the sea. The websites that served as an online scavenger hunt pointed to that possibility (http://www.1-18-08.com/ - http://slusho.jp/ - http://tidowave.com/ - http://tagruato.jp/ - http://jamieandteddy.com/). If you're like me, these websites only confused you even more. I get that it was a monster movie, but did it really come from the ocean or something? That... and was it maybe Japan's fault?

I won't go into detail of anything else that happens in the movie because I feel that it would spoil some very cool/intense parts for you. I will, however, link a website that shows what fans think the monster looks like through drawings. Look at it if you've already seen the film... or if you're just dying to see it. Some drawings are almost spot-on... others make you wonder how someone would think it looked anything like that. - http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/cloverfield-update-fans-draw-the-cloverfield-monster.php

I don't know what the monster is/where exactly it came from, but that's the cool part about the movie. You've seen the monster, but not as clearly as you might want to. There are many things to think about/maybe hear about later on. Maybe we'll learn more about it in time through sequels or just Abrams spilling his guts... maybe never at all. One thing is for sure, we're going to hear a bunch of know-it-alls discussing it in various forums on that thing we all know and love... The Interwebnet-like-thing!

Good movie, I recommend you all see it. I love apocalyptic-ish movies like this (even though it's only Manhattan... and we're all probably better off if that place disappears), so it was cool for me. If you're into that kind of shit, go and check it out!
Rating: ****1/2 stars of WIN!
