Seems you missed the part where someone commented that they have seen City 2 City named one of Tech's worst features on here, and Zero stating he hasn't and if he did, it would be because Trajik gets no love around these parts.
I misread the guys post.

I checked out The Informant, the supposedly funny flick by Steven Soderbergh (sp) and starring little Matty Damon. I chuckled a time or two but this really is not much of a comedy. If irony is funny to you, you might enjoy it, but... you won't laugh. If you've ever seen Breaking Glass or The Insider, then you've pretty much seen this flick.

Little Matty Damon is working for a fructose (as in corn) company who might or might not be price fixing the value of corn products with other rival companies. Eventually the FBI is involved and he begins playing both sides. One lie turns into two, that turns into three, and so on.

By the last act of the flick you're kind of waiting to see what Damon's character is actually being honest about. They never say too much either way.

The beginning of the flick starts out with one of those "This is based on a true story, but we made all of this shit up" warning, which I hate. The acting is decent, even from Scott Bacula, and you'll see a few familiar faces from Comedy Central, VH1, and E!, assuming you watch those "I love the xx" shows or Comedy Central roasts.


I'm going to show Gung Ho to someone who hasn't seen it before, tomorrow. I haven't seen that movie since I was 7-8 so it'll be interesting to see if it holds up as well as I think it should.

There were more funny moments in the trailer than in the entire movie. Definitely shouldn't have been passed off as a comedy. Watched that a few months ago and I'm still pissed I wasted time downloading that shit.

I noticed that a lot of the funny parts from the trailer were cut from the movie and actually in the deleted scenes. The movie wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen but it's one of those things where you don't really know what the fuck is going on and you assume for the whole movie they'll tie everything together at the end... Which they did, but this guys story was not interesting enough to have sat for an hour and a half pretty much in the dark of what's going on.

I feel like a piper playing his tune to the basket snakes.
Swaying back and forth, there's a shaky feeling in your legs.
You're a basket case without a handle on the edge.
Drag the bottom of the lake for debris but miss the shade like a tree dead with no leaves.
Cover ground like bullets flying in Haiti when you hit the deck.
Slithering spectacles wiggle around your mind's eye into your ear and inside of your head.
Get your mind right, this ain't an acid trip, it's metaphor specifically worded to kick start your thought process.

If history is any proof, it should provide several years of good hooks, about six years worth of anticipation for an album, and then we can grow tired. At least it's something different than continuing to ride the same horse who's legs seem to have worn out a year or two ago.
