TheGreatWhiteDope's Mecha-Blog-Zilla Mecha-Contest Winner IS....

Ah-ah-ah...not so fast. You didn't think it would be thrown at you in one big dollop, didya?

After all, I have to do THIS first:

To all three of you who chose to enter this contest to begin with: thank you all so very much for being part of this little contest and proving conclusively that there really is someone reading this blog; these hours of writing are not in vain!

Okay, enough prattle. The winner of their own autographed DVD of Death 4 Told and a genuine Certificate of Demerit is...

(drum roll)

Alex from Film Forager.

Congratulations to you, Alex - you are the big winner (in the figurative sense) and I will await your mailing address sent to your e-mail for where to send your prizes to.

Well. In conclusion, kids, this has been one heck of a Dope-A-Palooza. Many movies were reviewed, one or more posts every day and several observations projected and comments posted. Thank you, all of you, for your reading, your participation and your joining in the party festivities.

As for me; I'm taking a little break from all of this now. That's right - the post-a-day crap gets old for seasoned pros (ha ha) like yours truly. I will now go back to my old grind of posting whenever the heck I feel like doing it...but don't worry...a new episode of "The Adventures of BGR" will be posted tomorrow. After that, I'm pacing myself.

Happy last day of July, all. Dope-A-Palooza is now to bed...until NEXT year.

Dun-da-DUNNNNNNN.

Dope out.

The AUGUST'10 soundtrack! Ιδού η Ρόδος...

Πριν λίγες μέρες είναι που γύρισα από την πανέμορφη Ρόδο και ακόμα δε λέει να φύγει το μυαλό μου από το νησί αυτό και τις τόσο ωραίες στιγμές που πέρασα: το γατίνι μου, η σπιτική μαρμελάδα βερύκοκο της κυρίας Ρούλας (ΘΕΆ κι ας είναι στα 70), οι κανσονέτες του κυρ Γιάννη, οι εκδρομές, ο Ρούντι το κουταβάκι που στο τσακ ήμουν να πάρω μαζί μου, ο Γκορ ο βατραχίνος, ο Σούλης το ιπποκαμπάκι, η Φιλέρημος, o Μονόλιθος, το ηλιοβασίλεμα στον Βράχο και το Μόντε Σμιθ, τα γαριδάκια Σύμης, η εικόνα του Ταξιάρχη στη Σύμη, τα λουτρά της Καλλιθέας, οι σπηλιές στη θάλασσα στο Κιοτάρι, η πανσέληνος στην Παλιά Πόλη, η Λίνδος, το Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο, ο σουηδικός φούρνος, Τα Κιούπια που είναι η καλύτερη ταβέρνα/εστιατόριο που έχω φάει ποτέ, το Malibu με ανανά, το "Έλα μαζί μου μια νύχτα μόνο" :-) Ήταν απλά υπέροχα!!! Καλό υπόλοιπο καλοκαίρι σε όλους!!!

MARK ANGELO: Ήρθε από το πουθενά και τάραξε τα νερά της ελληνικής pop-dance σκηνής, με ένα πολύ καλό debut album, με το MAD να τον στηρίζει, και με πολύ ενδιαφέρουσες συνεργασίες!

HAPPY 93.2: Από τους πιο fun ραδιοφωνικούς σταθμούς, εκεί θα ακούσετε ακόμα και Αλέξια, Πωλίνα, Μαντώ κλπ. Πολύ καλή προσπάθεια μέχρι στιγμής, μακάρι να συνεχίσει έτσι!

ΕΥΣΤΑΘΙΑ: Τα κατάφερε για άλλη μια φορά κι έβγαλε ένα πολύ καλό άλμπουμ. Τρία χρόνια μετά το εξαιρετικό «Δεν μπορεί, έχει meeting», η Ευσταθία κυκλοφορεί τον τέταρτο δίσκο της "Είναι πολύ καλό παιδί" και για άλλη μια φορά αποδεικνύει το πόσο ιδιαίτερη παρουσία κι ερμηνεύτρια είναι. Για να μην πω για το απίθανο και πανέξυπνο «Έρως ο αιμοβόρος» και την φανταστική διασκευή στα ιταλικά στην «Κρουαζιέρα» του Βαγγέλη Γερμανού.

PLAYMEN, RECKLESS, OTHERVIEW: Η ελληνική dance σκηνή δείχνει πως αν υπάρχει έμπνευση, κατάλληλο promo και ωραίες μελωδίες, υπάρχει μέλλον! Γιατί δηλαδή, η Ρουμάνικη dance σκηνή που μας έχει κάνει επέλαση καλύτερη είναι?

KYLIE: Το νέο πολύ καλό album της αγαπημένης μου Kylie “Aphrodite” σκίζει σε όλο τον κόσμο και έχει πάρει πολύ θετικά σχόλια από κοινό και κριτικούς! Go girl!!!

MINUS

EMMA SHAPPLIN: Έρχεται για άλλη μια φορά στην Ελλάδα! Έλεος!!! Μήπως να τραγουδάει σε κανένα νυχτερινό κέντρο με τους Scorpions για να γλιτώνει τις διαδρομές?

ΕΛΕΩΝΟΡΑ ΖΟΥΓΑΝΕΛΗ: Ελεεινός ο στίχος του νέου της single «Αττική Οδός» (Κλαίω κι οδηγώ στην Αττική οδό / και κάτω απ'τη ζακέτα φοράω νυχτικό / Το ξέρω σ'αγαπώ, το ξέρω σ'έχω χάσει / Στην έξοδο 16 με έχεις πια ξεχάσει). Ούτε ο Φοίβος δε γράφει τέτοιες παπαριές που της έγραψε η Sunny Μπαλτζή. Αν το έλεγε όμως η Άννα Βίσση θα την είχαν κράξει όλοι, την Ζουγανέλη όμως Θου Κύριε, είναι και καλά έντεχνη ποπ μη χέσω.

ΜΙΧΑΛΗΣ ΧΑΤΖΗΓΙΑΝΝΗΣ: Αρέσει σε κανέναν νορμάλ άνθρωπο αυτή η γελοιότητα που έβγαλε στα αγγλικά με τίτλο “Everyone dance”? Εκτός του ότι η προφορά του είναι ελεεϊνή, περιμένει να κάνει και καριέρα στο εξωτερικό? Τζίζας!

DAVID GUETTA: Μήπως τον έχουν υπερεκτιμήσει λίγο? Τα περισσότερα κομμάτια του είναι ανέμπνευστα και το ίδιο στυλ, απλά έχει καλές γνωριμίες και βάζει ονόματα-κράχτες να τα ερμηνεύουν.

ΔΕΣΠΟΙΝΑ ΒΑΝΔΗ/ΕΛΛΗ ΚΟΚΚΙΝΟΥ: Αφού η Βανδή απέτυχε στη Θεσσαλονίκη κι ακύρωσε όλες τις εμφανίσεις της, αποφάσισε να ενωθεί με την φίλη της την Έλλη και να περιοδεύσουν μαζί μπας και πάει πιο πολύς κόσμος. Κοίτα να δεις πως αλλάζουν τα πράγματα!

TheGreatWhiteDope's Mecha-Blog-Zilla Mecha Contest is OVAH!

And just like that, the contest is over.

See, you shoulda entered when you had a chance, shouldn't ya have? Huh?

We now have three challengers in the squared circle, all vying for the top spot...which in this case would be the bottom spot, but whatever. And those three are:

1) Matt at Chuck Norris Ate My Baby

2) Ripley at Four of Them

3) Alex at Film Forager.

So keep your blogs peeled, you three; I shall be notifying one of you which one will be the big wiener...I mean, winner of the most horrific cinematic experience since 1 Night in Paris.

I mean, of course, your own DVD of Death 4 Told: the movie that would make Uwe Boll do a facepalm.

But don't take my word for it. Well, do take my word for it, but take their words for it, too:

"Another day, another forgettable direct-to-DVD horror flick that makes me question why I even bother watching movies these days." - Mike Bracken, thehorrorgeek.com

"A very weak anthology film." - Mistress of Horror, horror-movies.ca

"It just doesn't deliver any chills, bloodshed, or originality..." - The Video Graveyard

"Everything in this movie has been done before and done better." - horrorview.com

See? I'm not the only one...!

So tune in tomorrow, fans. I'm going to bed. This Dope-A-Palooza stuff wears on a guy.

Dope out.

I don't mean to be rude, but The Fat Boys ate up the food!

Sit down and relax
turn off your Beta Max
and let me tell you how the Fat Boys ate up the food
they came with their refridgerator and broke into my house
ate everything out the cabinets, even took the cheese from the mouse
so send me some money 'cause I am hungry
now I don't mean to be rude
but The Fat Boys ate up my food
HELP!

J.D.L of Coldcrush Brothers - The Fat Boys Ate Up The Food



They laid everything on the table, then they grabbed their knife and fork
then then dug in with a smile & grin, and said "L, pass the salt"
they grilled all the steaks
devoured sixteen cakes
then after that they had the nerve to dog my saucer plate
somebody send me some money 'cause I am hungry
now I don't mean to be rude
but The Fat Boys ate up my food

Long-forgotten amswer/dis record to The Fat Boys by J.D.L of The Coldcrush Brothers and produced by O.C Rodriguez Jr. AKA Master O.C of The Fearless Four. If any one song typifies the resentment the original Bronx rappers had towards the second and third wave of non-Bronx rappers who came out in '83 and '84, it'd probably be this.

This is also a great example of the terrible business and creative decisions that Coldcrush made as recording artists, as it's J.D.L making an answer song to The Fat Boys in 1986 when The Fat Boys's popularity had begun to wane due to the ubiquity of the Def Jam power-houses that were LL and the Beasties, and the appearance of singles from a new breed of rappers like Ultramagnetic MC's, Eric B. & Rakim, B.D.P, and Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo. Not quite a bad decision of Royce blowing up the spot about ghostwriting for Dre on the verge of signing to Aftermath calibre, but still not a particularly good move for J.D.L to make, eh? At least you've got always got Fresh, Wild, Fly, And Bold as your one classic record* where the stars aligned for you, Coldcrush members.

It kinda bangs, though, and I really wouldn't say no to a copy of it. Not for the £30 the one copy on Discogs is currently going for, mind. £12 and £3.50 p+p tops.

* I don't consider the equally great Feel The Horns a real Coldcrush song since Grandmaster Caz isn't on it.

This Is The Last Day To Enter TheGreatWhiteDope's Mecha-Blog-Zilla Mecha-Contest!

Hey out there!

What are you doing?!

Don't you realize that this is the last day to enter my contest?

What contest??! THE contest, man! The one in which you, the innocent reader who's done nothing to me enters for the chance to win one of the, if not THE, worst movie ever, that's all!

Why wouldn't you want a chance at that?

As if I should remind you, the signed DVD is of the movie Death 4 Told (2004), and you can read all about it here.

And as for the rules of the contest, you can read all about them here.

Relax, though; you still have till 11:59 PM EST tonight to get your entry in and then wait patiently till I make a decision. Right now this is a contest between two bloggers: Matt-suzaka of Chuck Norris Ate My Baby and Simon of four of them. Are you gonna let these two guys duke it out alone and be the ones who get all the fame and glory and, more importantly, win a movie that will make mere mortals run screaming into the night with confusion, disorientation and the need for fresh pants?

And it makes for a great trailer, too. Well, maybe not great but good.

Okay, maybe not good, but interesting.

Okay, okay - it's a trailer.

Alright, and it's NSFW. AT least it has THAT going for it.



Get to work. Enter the contest, you only have a few hours to prove your insanity...I mean, your worth.

Dope out.

My First "Oh My God NO" Post of 2010...

To be honest, I can see why they would hide this till now.

I was NOT a fan of Alvin and the Chipmunks on the big screen. Either time.

I was NOT a fan of The Flintstones on the big screen. Either time.

It seems to me whenever Hollywood runs out of ideas (which is pretty much every other hour) they pull out another remake, re-imagining, sequel, prequel, The Early Years, The Beginning or to-the-big-screen adaptation out of their collective (film) cans.

It's almost never a good idea when they do this with a beloved cartoon. And not just the ones mentioned above, either. Remember those two Rocky and Bullwinkle adaptations? Yes, TWO - there was Boris and Natasha and The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle. And no, neither one of them did very well.

How bad were they? I'm mentioning them here, aren't I?

So what do they do now? Besmirch the loving memories of two of my favorite bears ever: Yogi AND Boo-Boo.

A Yogi movie? Pardon my abbreviations but OMG WTH IDK GRR. And there will be no LOL.

Just look at this crap:

I don't care if it has Dan Aykroyd's voice. I don't care if it has Justin Timberlake's voice. I don't care if Tom Cavanaugh plays Ranger Smith in spite of the fact that he is WAAAAAY too laid back to be Ranger Smith. This is the worst idea to roll off the production line since the Edsel.

Everyone involved with this project should be locked in a room with Snagglepuss and forced to listen to Pixie and Dixie sing Lady GaGa until their ears bleed.

Seriously.

So prepare for festreing boils and raining frogs this Christmas. In 3D.

If I were you, I'd look into buying your family one of those fallout shelters now; the world has officially gone to Hell in a pick-a-nick basket.

Dope out.

White raps, the internet responds

So, we've been talking about the Codename video by Jeezy's newest signing to CTE White in the comment section to my white rapper appreciation post, and I think we've all come to the conclusion that a 40-something southern caucasian Crip rapper whose 3 main influences in life appear to be Drexel from True Romance, Jeezy's '04/'05 heyday, and Ted Dibiase's entrance video is a game changing moment that we'll all be able to look back on in 30 years time and tell our grandchildren where we were when we first heard it in 2010. Has the genre of Rap merely been treading water since the release of Rapper's Delight in 1979 awaiting the arrival of White? I'm not sure, but White is Crippin' so damn hard that even his chauffeur-driven vintage car has a blue rag hanging off the left side.

White - Codename



But what does the rest of the internet think about it? Let's find out :

Maury Chaykin Dead at 61.

One of Canada's boys, and also one of Canada's leading character actors.

He started a career in the mid-Seventies and from there had consistent work in movies as well as television, won awards and quickly became one of those "Oh Yeah, THAT Guy" guys whom you recognize from everything he'd been in but just couldn't place his name.

And why not; he'd not only been in dozens upon dozens of conspicuously Canadian productions (The Kidnapping of the President, Nothing Personal, Mrs. Soffel, Def-Con 4) and some rightfully-regarded "big" pictures (Dances with Wolves, Twins, WarGames, My Cousin Vinny) but also some very recognizable B-movies, too (Meatballs III, Curtains, Of Unknown Origin, Cutthroat Island). All in all, quite a resume'.

And the best way I can think of to pay homage to the man is from his scene in WarGames - the "Mr. Potato Head" scene.



Rest in peace, Maury.

Dope out.
