The Loon Is Making Moves

February 7, 2011

Ok…I’ve been making moves as of late.  This whole Loon fiasco started because I didn’t want to get a real job, and for a while it worked out great.  I was blogging during the day, hitting up the bars at night…not gonna lie it was pretty nice.  Well recently I’ve gotten a new opportunity to start doing what I love again…and no it’s not 15 year olds.  I’ve just run into a gig where I can start making some original video content.  So here’s what I’m thinking…why not premiere shit here?  Pretty solid idea, just use The Loon to promote my bullshit…which is what I always used it for but now it will be in video form.  So I guess you can look forward to all of that…but knowing me I won’t update again until July.

P.S. How does typing “making moves” into google images get me that picture??  Who the fuck are those people?? God I love the internet

Jesus This Website Is Still Here?

January 7, 2011

Honestly, I abandoned this place like I’ll abandon my future daughter if she ever dates a black guy…I kid I kid.  Seriously though, I literally packed this crappy little blog up and left it to rot.  And now, months later, I get an e-mail from wordpress telling me my blog is doing great.  I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t believe it.  Yet, I come back and find that not only do I still have access to this place but my hits are through the roof.  Well I guess I have to start writing again…god damn you persistent bastards.  Anyway, I found something SIIIIIICK since I was last here.  Hope you enjoy.

PS.  If I keep this site running for another 2 months I get a free blow job from Danica Patrick…it’s my one year prize for buying my domain name from godaddy…not a bad deal…Godaddy.com! it’s worth it!!

Thank You Kessel!!

This Tyler Seguin kid is pretty good no?  Gotta love that Kessel deal now…one first rounder turned into Seguin…who’s the other first rounder gonna be??  Bruins are gonna make a legit run this year.

The Alien Prequels Need To Get Made…Now!

October 29, 2010

These movies have been in the works for years now and in the last month there has finally been some movement into actually getting them made.  Noomi Rapace (Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) has been rumored to be the female lead which is a good choice.  Alien has always been a feminine series and it needs a strong Ripley-esque lead.  My main worries for the two prequels is that Fox seems hell bent on shooting them on a budget far less than what Ridley Scott wants and they also want the films to be rated PG-13.  While I’m sure Ridley can find a way to knock 50 million or so off the budget, the idea of making the films PG-13 is UNACCEPTABLE!  Fox has a bad recent track record with the Alien Franchise.  The two Alien vs. Predator flicks were watered down bore fests and any thought of Fox trying to do the same with this project scares the shit out of me.

People have been waiting for Ridley Scott to return to the sci-fi genre since Blade Runner, and now that he’s finally decided to revisit Alien he needs to be given cart blanche.  Ridley is not a director that works very well with studio execs dictating what he can and cannot do.  Just watch his Director’s Cut version of Kingdom of Heaven, when compared to the theatrical version it’s a goddamn masterpiece.  You also have to question the studio forcing him to make Robin Hood PG-13.  Now they are trying to do it again with the Alien prequels and I hope Ridley doesn’t play ball.  He needs to keep his vision intact and the suits in their offices.

For now the ball seems to be rolling again and it’s looking more and more promising these films get made.  Lost’s Damon Lindelof is working on retooling the script and hopefully this will prove to be the work that establishes him as a legit screenwriter.  For now I remain cautiously optimistic we’ll get two R rated Alien films directed by Ridley Scott.

Amar’e Who??

October 28, 2010

Oh just your normal everyday 18 and 11 off the bench.  Hakim Warrick just found the career fountain of youth…aka Steve Nash.  Looks like we won’t be missing Amar’e too much this season.  Knicks can take his 20 points and .0005 rebounds a game.  We have a legit double double guy now.

Best Season In All Of Professional Sports Begins Tonight

October 26, 2010

Three legit matchups to kick off the 2010-2011 NBA season tonight.  First we have D-Wade, Bosh, Lebron and the “hopefully shitty” Miami Heat heading up to Boston to lose to the Celtics.  Then the matchup everyone has been waiting for, the marquee event of the night, the rematch of the hard-fought first round playoff series from last season, The Phoenix Suns heading into the Rose Garden to rape The Trailblazers.  I give Greg Oden about 5 minutes before he suffers another season ending knee injury tonight…oh what’s that? He’s still not healthy and not playing??  This is gonna be easier than I thought.  Oh and Houston is playing The Lakers.  So there you have it, it’s basketball time once again!!

The Loon Reviews: The Social Network

October 1, 2010

Well here we go, my first no bullshit movie review for The Loon.  First, lets get some housekeeping out of the way.  My reviews are gonna be harsh, both in language and critique.  If I think something is a piece of shit I’m gonna say so.  I’m not trying to make any friends here, just attempting to sort through the bullshit and give an honest opinion about film.

I will be using the tried and true 1-10 model to rate the films, and yes decimals will be in play.  I’m not gonna do any cheesy 4 Loonies out of 5 horse shit.  Scale of 1-10, simple and direct.

My reviews will be broken down into various categories (acting, directing, score, etc)  and I will always end my reviews with Oscar predictions that I will then handicap nomination odds and winning odds, spice it up a bit.

I have a lot to say about The Social Network so lets get started.
