Legion

Posted on : 06-02-2010 | By : Chuck | In : Movies

Tags: movie, Video

I knew I wasn’t going to really like the next movie I saw after seeing Avatar (twice!). After all…the movie quality had just had its bar lifted by James Cameron. And I wasn’t disappointed.

Legion blew chunks! Big ones. It would have been best to leave this movie as a SyFy movie. It was that bad.

Off the desert highway just outside of Las Vegas is a diner/gas station/convenience store called “Paradise Falls”. Owned by a grumpy old man (played by Dennis Quaid). Big black man is the cook, pregnant waitress, and Alabama talking mechanic – do – it -all are the other characters of the joint. Then we have the rich husband and rich unhappy wife who are eating there with their snotty young daughter. And some thuggish black guy who has a heart. He only acts bad. I’m not even going to sit here and waste time typing out a horrible review. I’ll just sum it up right here:

Something falls out of the sky. Oh look…it’s an arch angel.

Arch angel decides he doesn’t like his wings anymore so he slices them off.

Arch angel shoots people up (in Los Angeles) and steals police car.

Arch angel drives police car out into the desert to Paradise Falls Diner. 50 miles from anything in all directions.

HEY! The tv stations aren’t working at the diner. Neither is the radio. Oh..and the phone is out. Who didn’t pay the bills??

In the distance there is what seems to be a big sand storm. Upon closer inspection…it’s flies.

Old lady comes into diner. She’s sweet at first. Then turns demonic. Just like most people I know. She didn’t need a cane to walk on the ceiling.

Humans have been possessed and they’re heading toward Paradise Falls by the thousands. Why? Hmmm….not sure yet.

Arch angel (Michael) has tons of guns. He hands them out to everyone at the diner.

Here come the possessed humans! They all talk in low voices. Do all possessed people talk in low voices?

Ice cream man pulls up. Oh good! Everyone could use some ice cream in the desert being all dusty and all. No shit…Ice cream man is possessed!! Blammo. Now ice cream man is toast.

What’s this?? Another arch angel comes from the skies. Gabriel is the “son” that obeys God’s command to rid the planet of humans. Michael is the “son” that refuses to obey God’s word. I thought Jesus was the only son of God? Apparently not since these two kept bantering on about how they were God’s sons. Must have been from a “John Edwards” side affair or something. Shame on God.

Flashback to heaven. Heaven isn’t that big. It’s just a balcony overlooking a very foggy and cloudy heaven. I’m not sure how any of the angels can see anyone there. They HAVE to fly so they don’t bump into anyone on Heaven Streets.

Gabriel is at Paradise Falls Diner to get that baby the waitress is carrying. Seems the unborn child is humanity’s last chance. Whatever that meant. No one ever explained it.

Shooting…killing…a few car explosions. All communication is out. Rich lady in the diner loses her husband to the angel possessed humans outside the boarded up diner. When did angels get so mean??

Good lord….this movie is longer than it should be.

Oh….waitress is in labor!! Push push…breathe….*baby crying*! Labor…pushing…and baby clean up took all of two minutes. At least something was quick!!

Gabriel and Michael fight. One of them loses and just disappears because that’s what angels do….they just disappear into a puddle of light. Gabriel is proud of himself and chases down the new mother…the mechanic…the young snotty chick that was eating in the diner…and the humanity savior.

Mechanic drives fast but Gabriel can fly faster. Oh look…a cliff. In the middle of the desert. Who would’ve thought that?? Now what? They’re dead and Gabriel will get the baby!

Cue bright light and Michel re-enters earths atmosphere from on high. He’s back to life again!! God forgave him and all that jazz. He has new strength. Gabriel is down. Baby is safe!! Wish I could say the same about young snotty chick but she didn’t have her seatbelt on in the car going 150 mph when it crashes. There’s a lesson to be learned there somewhere.

End of movie!! What?? What about the baby? Why didn’t Gabriel get a second chance? God is not playing fair. Where did all the possessed humans go? Do they die? Do they all just walk 50 miles back home since their cars are blown up? What’s next?

The movie was horrible. Really. Wait for it to come out on cable. I wouldn’t even suggest buying the DVD. Rent it on netflix if you must. But I wouldn’t do that either. And that is my opinion on a wasted $9 movie ticket. You win some….you lose some. Right Gabriel??

The trailer is TONS better than the movie was. Just watch it instead:

NEW!!

Win an Apple iPad from Boom!

Official rules and stuff here:

I know you listen to BOOM! and I know you keep it all to yourself. Not sure why you don’t tell everyone you know about BOOM! (of course, I’m not talking about a select few of you who always spread the love….Matt, Joel, Lucas…). Well now…I’m going to reward the person with the biggest mouth with an Apple iPad. Free!! All you have to do is

1) Take pictures of people you have told about BOOM! holding up a sign saying something to the effect “I chairdance to BOOM!” or “I love BOOM!” or “Chuck is in my ear on BOOM!”. Be creative!!!

2) Send those pictures via email to bohica2k@gmail.com.

3). Pictures must have a clear face so I can see the happy smiling faces of the person who actually LISTENS to BOOM! or is, at the very least, pretending to listen so that you can snag an Apple iPad from me.

4) Please get permission from the person holding the signs permission to have their testimonial splattered here on Bohica2k.

5). BOOM! must be clear and present in the picture somehow. If it’s not…it doesn’t count. I don’t know that they’re chairdancing with BOOM! if I can’t read it. It could say they hate grilled cheese sandwiches. I don’t know unless I can read it! No BOOM! = No count.

6). All pictures must be in my email no later than April 1st. The person who has exposed BOOM! to the most people (and has proven it with pictures saying so!) will be the new happy owner of an Apple iPad on April 11th. Winner will be announced on the April 11th installment of BOOM!

7). In the case of a tie…ONE question from my entire blog will be asked. The answer can be found within my pages here. I will ask the question on the April 11th broadcast. This is IF there is a tie. The first one to answer correctly…wins.

8). Each person counts as one vote. Even yourself. I don’t count as a vote, so don’t ask me. I run the thing. I can’t be judge and jury and participant and dj too! That’s just too many hats and my head isn’t big enough.

Good luck! Tell everyone!! Get them to hold up a sign telling the world (or those who walk through the halls of Bohica2k) that they listen to BOOM! And be creative. I’m an artist. I love creativity, ya know. =)

Have fun with it! And don’t forget to listen to BOOM!

To see the latest “chains” of who has submitted their testimonials that THEY listen to BOOM!…click on the navigation button at the top of the page and then see the chains under BOOM!. It’s not rocket science.

I’d like to first thank EVERYONE who listens to me each and every week. I’ve been doing BOOM! (formerly called Live WiReD) for going on 5 years now!! Every week is new and fresh and totally unexpected.

For those of you wondering what the hell BOOM! is…exactly, I encourage you to click on and listen for at least 10 minutes. The first 10 minutes should get you hooked to what it is I do.

For those of you who refuse to listen…I play tunes in my very expanded library (over 10K+ music list to date) for anyone willing to listen for 90 minutes. Tired of heading out to the crowded clubs overwhelmed by the smell of mixed colognes and perfumes only to get stepped on? Now you can have your own party in your own place in your underwear as I play the tunes I guarantee you will chair dance to.

This week I am starting a section called “Mentioned on BOOM!” If I mentioned it on the podcast, then you can come here and see what it is I’m referring to. I make EVERYTHING easy on you. You’re welcome!

Without further ado….here is what I mentioned on BOOM! this week:

Lady Gaga – Bad Romance

The Jerry Springer Musical – I Just Wanna Fuckin Dance

Next week’s broadcast we will reveal how I will be giving an Apple iPad. Stay tuned and listen often!! The clues I gave on this week’s podcast was

A). Tell all of your friends about BOOM! The more friends you have listening…the better YOUR chances are of getting an iPad.

B). Listen to the entire 90 minutes of the podcasts. I will be telling you things you’ll need to know all over the podcasts starting on February 6th broadcast. If you miss something…you’ll lose out! If you don’t want to listen to the entire broadcast…get one of those friends you have listening to do it. ahhHHHHHHHH. (see how that’s working out there??).

Thanks for listening and chair dancing with me. Keep your eye on Bohica2k and your ear open to BOOM! for future announcements. =)

Just because I think this song hits the proverbial nail on the head, I dedicate this post to someone close to me. He knows what I’m talking about. Since you think I hate you all the time…maybe this will change your mind. Take 10 minutes out of your busy schedule to really REALLY listen to this. And guess what? I even have the words for you. You knew I would:

Pat Benatar – We Belong

Many times I’ve tried to tell you
Many times I’ve cried alone
Always I’m surprised how well you
Cut my feelings to the bone

Don’t want to leave you really
I’ve invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind

CHORUS:
We Belong to the light
We Belong to the thunder
We Belong to the sound of the words
We’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We Belong, We Belong
We Belong together

Maybe it’s a sign of weakness
When I don’t know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn’t know
What to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit
Do we distort the facts
Now there’s no looking forward
Now there’s no turning back
When you say

CHORUS

Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can’t begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say

CHORUS

WTF, CHUCK?

Posted on : 02-01-2010 | By : Chuck | In : WTF CHUCK?

Tags: email, friends, WTF CHUCK?

I figure since I get shitloads of emails asking me about everything under the sun….people must think I am wise. When I just know that I have seriously “been there” and “done that” already. Maybe even twice now. That doesn’t make me wise…that makes me seasoned. And since I don’t hold anything back….I also figure people know they will get what they consider the God’s honest truth out of me.

So..this series will be reserved for those questions that people ask of me in emails and in texts. I told Tim that one day I should write a book with all the questions I get asked like I’m some sort of Dr. Phil. I’m not a doctor…I just play one on tv. When it’s off. In the other room.

I will not put your name in any of these posts if you happen to send me an email. I will, however, put your initial, if you are male or female (or if you want to be something else) and your age. If I know any of those things. If not…I am at total liberty to make it all up. haha

Hey Chuck!

I met up with this guy and I knew the moment I saw him…I was in love. Do you believe in love at first sight? And while I have you, do you believe in true love? Speaking of love – I love boom. Keep doing what you’re doing bro.

K. (male, 20, USA)

Thanks for the good words about BOOM! (if you’re going to love it so much…you might want to start typing it like it’s supposed to be typed. Big B. Big O. Big O. Big M. Exclamation point.) I do BOOM! (see how I did that??) for people just like you who love music…just like me. As long as you love it…I’ll keep on doing it.

I’m not sure I believe in “love at first sight”. I’m sure it can happen. It’s just never happened to me. Maybe because I’m shy (yes…I am!) and reserved if I don’t know you very well. And if you’re attractive…forget it! I won’t even be able to talk to you in coherent sentences until the second or third meeting at the very least. “Love” is a strong emotion for me. It includes trust and hope and totally knowing the other person I am providing this love for has the same feeling for me. I can’t “Love” anyone I don’t know because I don’t even know if I trust them. I have no idea who they are. LUST…on the other hand…oh hell yeah. I definitely have lust at first sight. I just had that two days ago. hahaha

And yes…there is such a thing as true love. I’ve found…more often than not…it happens when you’re not even looking for it. I’ve been luckier than most because I have found mine. Once in my younger years. And more recently with Tim these past 13 years. I know…without a doubt…that I will take a bullet for him. And he’d do the same for me. You’re only 20 years old, dude! You have plenty of time to get your love going on. Right now you should be enjoying yourself. Enjoying your life. Enjoying your new adulthood! You’ve been under your parents or guardians regime for 18 years. Settle into your own groove before you go trying to settle into someone elses. Go out there and live it up. And usually..right when you’re living it up and spilling drinks all over the dance floor…THAT is when the love of your life will come out of nowhere and whisk you away. Oh wait…that was MY story.

Good luck! And thanks for listening to BOOM! Catch me every Friday (almost) at the same place. Or go to my blog at http://bohica2k.com to catch up with past podcasts.

~chuck

And THAT is how “WTF, CHUCK?” is going to be done. I have like 40 of these so far. Got something to ask? ASK ME! Just go to my email page and fill out the info. I’ll get to you as soon as I can. I just might even answer on a future podcast of BOOM! You never know. I like to try to be unpredictable and stuff. =)

Ok….wow! That’s what I heard Tim say at least 30 times while the movie was playing. And wow…this was some movie. We saw it in 3D. I recommend if you go see this…it’s the only way to go see it. The 3D gives a more “wow” factor.

I didn’t know a movie could go 2 hours and 40 minutes and not seem like it. Honestly…I thought I would die. I know I couldn’t sit through any Harry Potter movies for this long. In my opinion….this movie beats ALL of the other movies. Without a doubt. I have seriously not seen anything like this. Leave it to James Cameron to make another blockbuster movie with Sigourney Weaver in it. It felt like home seeing her in this movie.

THERE MAY BE SPOILERS HERE! I’ll try to keep it to a minimum. I promise…………

I don’t even know where to begin here! The year is 2154 and the earth has exhausted it’s resources. So they look toward a moon called “Pandora” to get the valuable mineral they desperately need. And they use whatever force they can to get it. Including creating remote controlled Avatars using human dna and the natives of Pandora (called Na’vi) dna to make these remote controlled avatars. Which are sexy as hell! And huge! They’re like twice the size of humans. To use the avatars…humans go into these sleep chambers and become one with their avatar to gain the trust of the Na’vi. War then ensues. That’s all I’m going to tell you. You’ll learn about their connection with the trees and the native animals of Pandora as the movie progresses.

But watch it in 3D! I’m telling you. I can’t even imagine how anyone will ever top this movie. I thought this was going to be some “kiddy” movie. I was totally off-base. I was expecting a long drawn out movie. I was wrong there too. That was the most action packed 3 hours I’ve spent in a theater. Ever. Go see this movie in the theater. You can always see it on dvd…true. But the impact is felt on the big screen. Avatar will be among the top movies on my list of movies I like. You’ll like it too. You’ll see. Enjoy the trailer:

The parties…the eggnog…the cookies and cakes and tasty little snacks will all have to wait another year for me to devour them.

My special thanks to Joseph, Rob, Lucas, Florida Josh, Matt, and Brandon for making Tim’s and my Christmas so special. Like you do EVERY day. My heart wasn’t really into the “spirit” of the holiday this year but you guys turned me right around. I thank you. Your generosity and your friendship means the world to me. It’s great to know I can count on you even when I didn’t realize I was counting on you. Does that make sense?

Tim and I decorated late this year. We put the tree up Wednesday so we wouldn’t get burned out by it by the time Tim’s birthday rolls around on January 3rd. We seem to have lost the tree we had last year. I cannot remember where I stored it. So I had to go out and buy a new one. Turns out…the tree is black. It looks pretty damn good, actually. I was surprised. It helps that our ornaments are silver and purple and stuff. Here’s a picture of Tim opening the gifts this afternoon. You can see the tree there.

Jojo sent a Batman tshirt! Cool! Thanks Jojo!

Thank you to everyone who sent us gifts. Rob…you outdid yourself. Thank you. And Jojo…seriously…I told you this on the phone…your packages brought tears to my soul. You send the most thoughtful and planned out gifts. Stone is wearing his collar and I will definitely take advantage of the art stuff. Lucas…Lady Gaga tickets! I can’t wait until next week. Thank you. I only say these publicly because I was floored by everyone’s generosity. Really. I will have to make Valentines Day special for you guys. Make sure I have your correct addresses on my contact list.

Now the whole ordeal is over with. Fine by me. This might mean I can get in and out of the stores without bruises now. Also…thank you to everyone sending me notes and emails and texts telling me you enjoyed the BOOM! Christmas podcast. It was fun to do for you. Make sure you keep an eye out for the New Years podcast coming out on Wednesday next week. I have so many blogs to do before then…I’m sure I’ll mention it a few times.

Happy Boxing Day to those of you who celebrate. We don’t celebrate Boxing Day here in the States. But I’ll be thinking of you enjoying yourself while I do absolutely nothing tomorrow but vegetate in front of the television.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Here’s hoping your New Year shines even brighter!

Michael Buble – Grown Up Christmas List

As adults…we lose faith in Santa Claus and ever being rewarded for being good the entire year. Fact is…I’ve been good all year long and I hope that the year-end reward will come to me on the morning of December 25th for my pristine behavior. I know it will probably never happen…but here’s my list anyway on the off chance that these list things actually DO work:

I wish dinner would fix itself.

I wish Tim was as healthy as a horse. I mean…a healthy horse. Not one of those sickly ones. I wonder why they always say “healthy as a horse” anyway? Horses HAVE to get sick. Don’t they? They can’t all be immune to illnesses. Hmmm…something to ponder right there.

I wish Stone would poop AND pee at the same time instead of at separate times. Wouldn’t that be awesome?

I wish I could find a cheaper addiction. Smoking is way too pricey. Maybe I can switch to crack. It’s cheaper and no one needs an ID to get it.

I wish taking a shower wasn’t such a chore. Further…I wish I could take a shower when I’m wide awake and not half asleep. Maybe being awake would make the showering process much easier. I could probably work on that myself but if I can get Santa to help me on that, it would be a bonus.

I wish just one time I could go into the line at any store and not have to wait. And wait. And wait. It would be terrific if I walked up and a smiling cashier would open a lane just for me! I suppose we could just start with a cashier smiling!

I wish the Senate or Congress or whoever would ban junk mail in my mailbox. I could then actually go to my mailbox and take out things I actually wanted or was looking forward to getting instead of Geico ads or ValuPak envelopes. That would be sweet!

I wish the grocery store would give me my own parking place near the front of the store since I’m there at least 3 times a week. They all know me there. I think I’m there more than some of the employees. That would make me dependable! They should hire me.

I wish NASA would use the last shuttle mission to load up the shuttle and transport Miley Cyrus (among a few others) to the moon and leave her there.

I wish Rob didn’t live all the way in Washington state. Why couldn’t Dan have been in Georgia or Texas? Good lord. I think I should be included in the interview process on his next guy.

I have more wishes. I’ll leave here for right now. I’ll add more later as I think of them. So keep checking back!

Oh…and Merry Christmas to you all! Hope Santa brings you what YOU wish for on your grown up Christmas list.

What’s going on around here? I figured after 3 years of the same theme…it was time to switch it up some. I’ve secured something that was easier to the eye and also lets me upload those pictures and videos you all know I love so well.

If you’re missing something…like the BOOM! podcast player….don’t worry. I’ll get it all back up and better than ever. I’m looking around the net for new players that will play a little smoother and look all slick and stuff.

Thanks for reading! Keep checking back. I have a lot to tell you but only so many hours in the day around this time of the year. =)
