Eraserheads: The Heads Set [Box Set Review]

NOTE: I was supposed to publish this post a few days ago, but my internet died. So enjoy my dated and irrelevant timely and relevant review of the Eraserheads Box Set.

I finally have the Eraserheads box set that I had been anticipating since God knows when. I guess you can say that Christmas came early. I was able to get it from Greenwich SM Megamall a day earlier than promised. They’re awesome. I’m still peeved because I didn’t even consider having my pizzas delivered so I could’ve gotten my hands on the box set much, much earlier though. But whatever, I have my grubby hands on the motherfucking Eraserheads box set!

So it was announced that the much-awaited Eraserheads box set (called The Heads Set for those who are anal about their box set titles) would be finally released. I’ve been excitedly waiting for this since it was announced sometime last year – hey, Sony-BMG has to capitalize on the hype generated by the last two reunion concerts, right?

In This Entry Ade Reviews Some Movies He’s Missed. Also, He’s Bored.

I tend to miss a lot of movies the first time they come out. I don’t know if it’s got something to do with laziness or the fact that I’m usually blissfully unaware of the world around me or I’d rather spend my day watching the latest Ashlyn Rae video (no, not really) but I tend to end up looking at my friends with a blank stare and going “Buh?” when they talk about the latest awesome movie.

This is why I’m making up for missing all those times by checking out some movies I’ve missed. Also, I’ve got a huge queue of unwatched movies sitting on my hard drive – I seriously need to free up disk space. I guess wasting my time writing reviews won’t hurt a bit since I’ve got nothing better to do.

Kick-Ass

High school kid gets bored with his life. Apparently jacking off to his middle-aged teacher’s bewbies isn’t a gratifying pastime anymore (I know it’s not – don’t ask) so he decides to do something more fulfilling. He dresses up in a diving suit and proceeds to be a superhero beating up criminals in the middle of the night- oh, wait, I mean he gets beaten up -and teams up with Nicolas Cage, and the most foul-mouthed 13-year old you’ll ever meet. They manage to take down the mafia.

I love the comics, and it’s no surprise that this movie is an instant favorite. It’s no classic, of course, but it’s a fun watch.

Nowhere Boy

After Kick-Ass gets bored with superheroics, he inexplicably turns up in Liverpool with a Liverpudlian accent and he’s… John Lennon. He starts to hang out with his estranged mother, and they have a creepy, almost Oedipal relationship.

Facebook Places: Oh, The Fun I’ll Have

I’ve never been a huge fan of location sharing services. Yeah, I have a Foursquare account, but I checked in only once, and I was drunk. I quickly lost interest in updating the goddamn site, along with my will to live. I don’t know about you, but telling the world that you’re eating in this restaurant isn’t exactly my idea of fun.

Also, I’ve done my fair share of oversharing on Twitter already (“WHY DOES IT BURN WHEN I PEE DAMMIT”) and sharing the place where I commit yet another hilarious misdeed to yet another major internal organ isn’t going to make my followers any more uncomfortable than they are now.

Fig. 1 – Why Ade doesn’t have friends in Foursquare (and in real life)

However, this newfangled Facebook Places thing is pretty interesting, if you ask me. You see, Facebook Places lets you check in to different places, just like a rich DOM and a college student with no tuition money the many location sharing services available right now, but with a twist: in the spirit of privacy violation that Facebook has been committed to doing for the longest time, Facebook Places lets you tag your friends to various locations – and they can do the same to you.

Sherlock: The Game Is Afoot

I didn’t even know that they were making a new Sherlock Holmes TV show until I saw some friends (namely, Liz and Carina) raving about Sherlock on Twitter. Being a huge fan of anything Sherlock Holmes, of course I had to give it a look.

What makes Sherlock interesting is that instead of the typical Victorian setting of almost every single fucking Sherlock Holmes adaptation since time immemorial, they take the titular character and his, erm, sidekick, Dr. John Watson, and put him in a modern setting. For the ones who are a bit too slow to understand that, I mean 2010.

  • Hi, I’m Ade…

    ...and I don't know what I'm doing here.

    Oh, wait, this is a humor blog. I blog here. Yes, folks, I am , blogger extraordinaire. I write about deep and introspective stuff, like dick jokes, the size of the gazongas of that girl two feet away from me, my band that nobody cares to listen to, and how stupid the traffic is today on the way to work. Exciting, life-changing stuff!

    No, really, please stick around. I need new friends.
