Uh...That's Why We Do Want It


Limited on PS Magazine


"From 1965 through 1966 I was the S-4 (Supply Officer) for a battalion in the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg.

I can vouch for the value of this publication. I made it my mission to collect many of the back editions so that my troops would have access to them.

Disappointedly, this book illustrates the great art work of Eisner but does little to discuss the idea and use of the magazine. Also, it includes only seven pages on 1965 and none beyond that.

If you want a book on the early work of Will Eisner this should fill the bill. If you want a book on PS Magazine, this is limited."

posted on Amazon.com September 14, 2011

First of all, understand that I am not making fun of this review. The writer's generousness of spirit comes through, both in his desire to educate his troops and his acknowledgement of the quality of Eisner's art. I can't help but picture the melancholy scene: "Alright! Somebody finally reprinted PS Magazine! I've been waiting for this...oh, damn. It's just the cartoons." It's like saying about The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover "If you want a mannered, visually lush allegory about England under Thatcher, this should fill the bill. If you want a movie about effective restaurant management, this is limited."

Of course, this review makes me want to hunt down old issues of PS Magazine.

Digital Copies: Shreed 'em up in your Shreeder!

Watching THE BIRDS on TV this morning, I thought perhaps there might be a Vox Plops gem on Amazon for this oft-maligned Hitchcock film. Oh, boy, was I right. But that review led me to an even better one. Bobby P. of Springfield MA has a recurring issue (aside from his love of Josh Groban). Here's his review of THE BIRDS:

What is that, I haven't a Clue to what that is?, May 29, 2011
This review is from: The Birds (Collector's Edition) (DVD)
I hate this Movie, because where I'm concerned, this is Extreamly to Spokey / Scarry to be watching. But if your the type of person who Craves / Loves Scarry Films, then and only then is this Movie for you. If your like me where you Don't like them, then all I can say is DON'T watch it, it could give you Nightmares if your NOT Carefull!

Poetic bad grammar, including the headline. What's even more amusing is that when I checked out this person's other reviews on Amazon, more than half of his seven pages of reviews had the same header: "What is that, I haven't a Clue to what that is?" In some cases, it's especially amusing as the item in question is a bucket or a saucepan. Turns out it was a reference to the digital copy included in his copy of MAMMA MIA!, which didn't play on his DVD player or his Blu-Ray:

I like this movie, but the one thing that I can't figure out is what is a Digital Copy; I have tried to play it in both the Regular AND the Blue-Ray DVD Players and it Doesn't even work, so I haven't a clue to why the Manufactoring Companies insist on putting something in when it doesn't even work. If and only if it's meant for the Computer, then why don't these Manufacting Companies say that its for the Computer. I HATE Guessing Games, and these Manufactoing Companies insist on playing Guessing Games with people that know Practiclly Nothing when it comes to such things as a Digital Copy of Any Movie. If these editodic Fool Harded Companies are going to insist in putting these Digital Copies in with Movies, then in my own Opinion, I would have to say that these Companies / Business's MUST also Include Instrctions in just how Exactley these Digital Copies are to Work and are to be Played! But will these Compnaies / Business's Include Extreamly Simplafied Instructions in how to go about the Playing of these DIgital Copies, NO they Won't, so why are they Waisting Everyone's Time and Money by Including a Digital Copy of some Movies, when a Percentage { % } of the Worlds Population is 100 % Clueless in how these Digital Copies Work and are to be Played?
So what I do with ALL Digital Copies of any movie that I get, I Shreed it Up in my Shreeder, for the reason's because One { 1 } it doesn't work, and secondly { 2ndly } I haven't any ideaa to how it is supposed to be played! So why should I go waisting Money and Space for something that I haven't any idea to how it is to be played AND how it works.

That guy's shreeder is going to get awfully busy...

I'm Too Pretty to Do Homework...

Comics Journalist Heidi MacDonald highlighted this little story from TODAYMoms.com (a site I normally don't visit, believe it or not) about a shirt for sale on JC Penney's website. The sweatshirt, for girls, is emblazoned with the line, "I'm too pretty to do homework, so my brother has to do it for me."

I know, right? The message is just hideous on every level. Pretty = Dumb. Homework is for Ugly People. Girls shouldn't have to do work. On top of that, the thing is fuckin' ugly.

Well, after the story was posted on Today's website, Penney pulled the item and issued an apology (man, I would hate to be the buyer who picked that item, and not just because I would thereby be a moron who probably never liked to do homework).

But what's gotten this on VOX PLOPS isn't just the story in and of itself, it's also—you guessed it—the absolutely moronic comments on the TODAYMoms article.

A few choice tidbits from the masses:

Lisa R says (via Facebook):
Oh my god get over it. It is just a shirt. This country is so sensitive about things.
This comment gets the Thumbs Up LIKE by 41 of her friends, and one of them comments:
I 100% agree with you Lisa!! It's a shirt, I don't know why people feel like they need to over-dramatize everything!

Richard B says,
I think it would be a good guy gift.

Andrew R. from Winstead, AZ says to suck it up:
It's the same schtick you see on any number of shirts this time of year. My boys have all sorts of them that say they can't do homework because of video games, or that something was their brother's or sister's fault, or that they'll get to it "after one more level..." Stop having such thin skins.

Kathy R. thinks it's much ado about nothing!:
Oh my goodness... It's just silly kid shirt, and I have read much worse! I don't know why people feel like they need to over-dramatize, take that energy and make positive thing's happen around you..quit complaining! geeze

Erik C, like so many others, misses the point:
Seriously. People are in a flap about a benign tee shirt a kid wears? If you don't want your child to wear it, do the crazy thing and act like a parent and say no. But please, you have no right to say no for my child.

People objecting to this shirt aren't saying that you shouldn't be allowed to buy it. They're not saying the company doesn't have the right to manufacture it. They're saying that it's pathetically sad that it was ever made in the first place and that someone at one of the nation's largest retailers thought it was a good idea to put it into their stores. I despise Political Correctness. But how anyone can defend this shirt is beyond me. Objecting to this piece of shit is not Political Correctness, it's just... correct.

BLACK CHRISTMAS: "Halloween is the first slasher not this slasher"

HALLOWEEN IS THE FIRST SLASHER NOT THIS SLASHER
This review is from: Black Christmas (DVD)
Halloween is the verry first slasher this movie is terrible now i know you are going to stop readind and press no but just listen to me for you people that say halloween owes alot to this movie you can kiss my ass halloween is an original masterpiece that started slashers and the only movie halloween owes to is hitchcock films because john carpenter used hitchcock techniuqes and as soon as halloween came out a million imatators came out no one even knows about this trash and for you people that say the killer in this movie is diffrent than michel myers and jason HOW DARE YOU compare michal to jason and michael is a force of naature this guy is just a wack job.the pov scene in halloween came from china town but other than that halloween was an idea fom irbin yablons who asked john to direct it halloween is the very first slasher and dose not owe sh*t to this trash and was a completley original story it did not copy it got coppied halloween is the absolute verry first slasher that 95% of horror and thrillers you see now a days owe it to halloween not this trash it is not even a slasher halloween is the very first slasher and that is a fact.
POSTED on AMAZON.COM, March 2005

VOX PLOPS COMMENTS:
Wow, this guy is pretty passionate about his favorite film, and apparently subscribes to the theory that time is not linear, hence HALLOWEEN is the very first slasher and that is a fact.

louis r. warns, "You are not diesel like me"

I sometimes post reviews on YELP.com and after voicing my thoughts on Hoboken's new Pilsener Haus and Biergarten (you must go), I checked out some of the other reviews and came across one by a charmer named "louis r," who seems to be a rather immodest fellow with a lot of money, a decent physique and precious little humility. Here's his pithy take on the Pilsener Haus:

Hit it hard with mah 'boken yuppie squad.
Once you get past the long-as-fuck line to get in...this spot is shit-you-not, dope.
Wide beer selection (I killed it with pitchers of Palm)...although the prices are a bit higher than other spots. $13 for a liter vs $10 at Zep Hall
The amount of interior space and the authentic decor is commendable.
If you want to meet girls...like lots of cute, drunk-as-shit, hotties...get your out-of-shape ugly ass on line, cause I'm already up in here filling my cell phone up with digits.
Jus sayin.

Intrigued, I decided to check out some of Louis' other reviews. Of the clothing store AllSaints Spitalfields, he so charmingly advises:

This store is way calmer than the one on Broadway and the peeps are way better looking. But certain tenets still apply:
Don't shop here.
You are not diesel like me so the clothes won't fit ya.
You don't have a cabbage roll that would choke a hippo like me to afford the couture that this place has.
Turn around and walk swiftly back to the Gap, BR, Old Navy, JCrew, I think they are having a sale or something.
Nope, don't even look at it.

After visiting the East Village dive, the Library, Lucky Louie wrote:

I was rockin black on black, so obviously, this was the eventual spot to hit up.
Fuckin no let down. A straight hour of New Order and Joy Division tracks were pumpin.
Kickin it with inked-up chicks who mess with graffiti/murals...well, let's say its not for everyone.
I'm looking right at you, you dirty yuppies.

There were more... 430 more reviews, to be precise, but I have a limit to how much douchebaggery I can take in one sitting. Search out this charming chap on Yelp if you have more patience than I.

Green Lantern post-credits scene: "Fite the green"

There's probably no more depressing repository of ignorance and stupidity than YouTube. No doubt that's because the postings are by people who use the internet to watch more Tee-Vee than do that thing, oh, what's it called... you know, the brain thing with the words.... READING. That's it!

The following are just a few posts that followed a video of the post-credits sequence from GREEN LANTERN (so few people saw it, even fewer sat through the end credits) that teased Sinestro embracing the power of the Yellow ring.

MrMicropimpin' notes:
on the second one is gonna b dope cuz thats wen we gonna c sinestro fite the green l but he doesnt hav fear so y does it work on him n wat wud happen if he had both on wat wud his suit look lik n him

to which whoregay responds:
@MrMicropimpin Yes. "Fite". Jesus, I wonder what part of the fucking cell block your father was from.

Ohhh, MrMicropimpin' didn't like that:
@whoregay y u gotta start some shit over the net u fucking bitch i bet u wudnt say that to my face cuz i wud "fight" u n woop ur ass u fag n my dad wasnt part of no cell block but i bet u were matter of fact u were in every cell block every cell giving the guy inmates some oral pleasure wit a youtube name whoregay u must of enjoy sucking dick n getting fuck in the ass in prison u faggett ass nigga, get the fuck outta here u big quir

MrMicropimpin' continues his onslaught against another YouTube naysayer who questions his sexuality and grammar skills (or should I say skillz):
u no for a loser who stays on youtube beating his 1cm dick wit tweezers to gay porn (yo mom told me wen i fucked her) wud reply quicker but wat u expect from someone who eats dick for a living n i think i wont go back to the second grade but u need to go back to kindergarten to b taught on how to suck dick cuz didnt u go to a fag school but thats only if u tyrnna b a pro in the sucking dick gay boy business lik yo mom is at suckin me n my potnas dick cuz i got that hoe on a leash

Somewhat more on topic, Danzinnyman notes:
HOLLY SHIT i did not see that when i saw the movie cuz i went with a chick so she wanted to like not stay till after the credits thats awesome that there gonna do sinestro corps ....so i wonder if there going to have like kyle rayner, guy gardner, ion spectre john stewart and the blue ring like when hal jordan goes green and blue lanter style

nickb comments, with an unsurprising lack of self-awareness:
And learn to type with some fucking grammer....Jesus people

axayd doesn't seem to grasp how these movies are made:
hopefully they wont use too many special effects innn the sequel... i mean, why would u want to do special effects on the earths sky and make it look pink?

And, finally (I wish), rgarcia99 sums up most posters' feelings with this haiku:
its gonna be gay green lantern sucks dick the movie a part 2 rather reboot

Something Happened: "i have to do a book report"


These reviews are for Something Happened by Joseph Heller

for those of you out there who have read this book, i would like to say doing a 10 page comparison of this book and Catch 22 is the most annoying thing...ever. Tip for those of you in Mrs. Jens class do not pick these books, the only information you will find is on Catch 22.
Posted on Amazon, February 13, 2005

A reader named Porkchop added:
I have nothing but sympathy for anyone who had to do this English assignment. I have a degree in English, love both books beyond reason, and would never go NEAR that assignment.
Posted on Amazon, February 20, 2008

VOX PLOPS COMMENTS:
At first I thought this was a plea for help, a con to get someone to do his assignment for him. But now I realize that it's like the warning of a dying man: "Don't do as I've done. It's not worth it. Please learn from my mistakes."

Something Happened is a dense, repetitive, and deliberately monotonous novel. There's a reason you won't find much information about it. The teacher really should have warned the kid when they took on the assignment.

Bullet-Proof Logic

An item on Deadline.com about the impending movie adaptation of ultra-conservative thriller writer Brad Thor's book The Athena Project spurred comments both pro and con, but this reply regarding one poster's negative remarks struck me as VP-worthy (that's Vox Plops, not vice president):

People like you always make me laugh if he is such a bad writer then why are they making a movie about his book? And why is everyone of his books bestsellers? I mean it seems to me you are just a mad liberal who needs to get over it your political views are now in the minority so get over it. Brad Thor is a great writer and I’ve read every book he’s wrote and pray to god he writes more. So this is my plea…GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!

VOX PLOPS COMMENTS:
Yes, because everyone knows popular equals good (just as foolproof a metric as unpopular equals bad). Still, I love the passion (if not punctuation).

PULP FICTION: "This movie was no 'The Prince and Me"!"

This Movie was no "The Prince and Me"!
This review is from: Pulp Fiction (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) (DVD)

This movie was alright, but it would have been alot better with Julia Stiles! The Prince and Me was much better.
POSTED on AMAZON.COM, September 2004

VOX PLOPS COMMENTS:
I'm sure that as this blog evolves, there will be a few times where we get taken in by gag reviews or board posts, and this may be one of them. The author, "Julia Stiles Fan" from Houston TX only has two reviews on Amazon: This one and, three guesses, THE PRINCE AND ME. I like to think that not only is this review the real deal, but that this guy (and it is a guy) has only ever seen these two movies.

The hell kind of crate is a "democrate"?

The bold and ubiquitous "anonymous" had this to say after an item regarding Rick "Secessionist for Prez" Perry (posted August 15, 2011 on the blog Down with Tyranny):

Most consertive in the state of Texas remember that Perry was a democrate, he only moved when the democrate party could no longer lie enough to elect rural canidates to any state wide office or local office. But make no mistake about it Perry has the old south democrate genes.
He is big govt when he wants to be,and small govt anyother time.
But his roots are in the democrate party, his roots are in the democrate party his roots are in the democrate party.
Please know that his roots are in the democrate party.

I'm sorry, where are his roots, again?

THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL: "This is the worst movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This is the worst movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This review is from: The Boys From Brazil (DVD)

I watched this movie in school, and I hated it!!! First of all, there's so many disgusting pictures, like naked people! (ewwww...) Towards the end of the movie, there's a part where two men fights against each other. One of them bit the other one's ear! Then there's three dogs biting a person until the person is died... I am totally grossed out!!!!!!!!!! I've watched another movie called Charlie. While I was watching it, I fell asleep. It was bored to death. I've never fell asleep while watching a movie before, so I thought this will be the worst movie. But not anymore! The Boy From Brazil is the worst movie now! It sucked! I don't ever want to watch it ever AGAIN!!!!!!!
POSTED on AMAZON.COM, November 2004

VOX PLOPS COMMENTS:
Ew, naked people. I'm wondering what school showed this movie and in what class? Civics? American History? German?

MICHAEL CLAYTON: "Without Rooney this would have been straight to DVD"

1.0 out of 5 stars A Very Boring Film
This review is from: Michael Clayton (Widescreen Edition) (DVD)
In truth this movie could have told the story in 30 minutes there is really so little to tell!! George Rooney walks through it like he is half asleep and the story ( for what it's worth) took so long to unfold I had trouble staying awake myself. Tilda Swinton should receive an award for over-acting. It was so boring I really did'nt care what happened to the leading characters long before the end! The only action I remember was the car exploding but there is lots and lots of dialogue. Without Rooney this would have been straight to DVD.
Posted on Amazon.com, March 2008

VOX PLOPS COMMENTS:
You know, this guy's right, this really wasn't George Rooney's best performance. And there's all that talking. YAY, CAR BLOWED UP! Oh, damn, more talking... I liked Rooney better when he was on E.C.

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes


I’m a human being so I was appalled at the anti-human spectacle of this movie. I’m sorry, but the “goddamned dirty apes” were bad guys—from Caesar on down--and a serious threat to human society, so I wasn’t going to root for them. It would be like rooting for the aliens in WAR OF THE WORLDS or INDEPENDENCE DAY. Or the giant ants in THEM! Or a World War II movie in which the Nazis win and the audience is expected to cheer them on. Alas, I can hear you say, but the ape monsters were created by humans, so didn’t the humans deserve their comeuppance? Well, that’s like making the case in that hypothetical pro-Nazi movie that the Germans were so screwed by the Treaty of Versailles after WWI that the rise of Nazism was inevitable. Sure, that’s a valid argument, but does it mean we shouldn’t have fought them? Does it justify the Holocaust? Fortunately for 20th Century Fox, there are enough self-hating humans in the audience to have made RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES a big hit.
Posted on Mobius Home Video Forum on August 12, 2011

VOX PLOPS COMMENTS:
I'm not sure how seriously to take this. I'm willing to grant that it is satiric, faux outrage: it was posted by a "Brian Camp" after all. But even so...why does everything have to come back to Nazis? Isn't there any other symbol or metaphor for bad things? Are Nazis all we have left?

At this point, using the Third Reich as a point of comparison is like yelling "Freebird!" at a concert.

The Clash, SANDINISTA!: "blam this horible work"

Crap
By B**** (Your Moms Pussy)
This review is from: Sandinista! by The Clash
This Cd Is Crap Crap Crap!!! No Good Songs , Sounds Horrible and was a waste of my 19.99 at my mall. This is so bad!! blam this horible work. People who listen to this should try listening to OPERATION IVY.
POSTED on AMAZON.COM, November, 2003

VOX PLOPS COMMENTS:
I realize that SANDINISTA! is the most galvanizing of the Clash's albums, and won't argue that there is some filler on the record. It's not my favorite Clash side, but I do love it and have been  defending this thing since it came out in 1981, particularly noting its significance as a representation of how forward thinking and experimental punk's best band was. Now, as for Your Moms Pussy's review, subjectivity goes out the window when he suggests that people listen to Operation Ivy instead. Oh, Your Moms Pussy. I feel sorry for you.

PSYCHO: "a cross dresser kills"

a cross dresser kills, October 18, 2004
This review is from: Psycho
this is so stupid i could puke!a movie based on the exploits of ed gaines.hes also the inspiration for red dragon and some other silence of the lambs.hes the guy in texas chainsaw massacre.norman bates is only created from ed.norman runs this hotel and kills whoever comes there.his dead mom is in his head encouraging him all the way.he thinks hes a chick and even dresses up like one to kill.not for the kids unless youd like them to have aids.cross dressing and prison can both point you in the right direction if thats something youre interested in.im not.f!2k that!its obviously a horror film.in fact,theres the famous shower scene where he hacks this chick up in a shower.dont get your hopes up,theres no nudity,only a silloutte of the 2 bodies and tiny little spatter of blood.it was the most violent scene in the world at the time.theres a quote that kind of got some recognition.morman says"we all go a little crazy sometimes".thats scary to think about.theres plenty of sequels.the last one i saw showed norman as a child abuse victim as a kid.it just doesnt get any better does it?it is considered by many[not me i think it sucks]to be the greatest horror film ever.well,i can name many way better ones like childs play,a nightmare on elm st,friday the 13th,halloween,hellraiser,the all time greatest-the shining-truckloads of zombie movies.........it just sucks.(...)
POSTED on AMAZON.COM, October 2004

VOX PLOPS COMMENTS:
My favorite comment: "not for the kids unless youd like them to have aids." Remember, AIDS can only be transferred by the exchange of bodily fluids or watching old Alfred Hitchcock films! Also, it was a total drag that you couldn't see Marion's boobies in the shower scene. What a rip off.

God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything: "I pray for you. :-("

Shameful!!!
This review is from: God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens
I am the least bit interested in reading this book. Unfortunately, I came across the book online on another website and had to leave my comment here. WHAT A WASTE OF TREES!!! THIS BOOK SHOULD BE BANNED!!! It is such a shame that people continue to TRY to disprove the existence of God and do not acknowledge THE ONE AND ONLY LORD JESUS CHRIST. I will only address this once because I am not here to debate with you on the existence of God,his glory and love , etc. YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY IF THIS IS REVEALED TO YOU, NOT BY THE MERE HUMAN (LIMITED )BRAIN , BUT BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD TOUCHING YOU. Hopefully, people will wake up and acknowledge the great things he has in store and not continue to disregard him. Take the blinders off your eyes and Jesus's love will be revealed and poured upon you. In return you will have peace and joy in your hearts, and will not waste your time spreading negativity and brainwashing people with this garbage you call literature. I wish those who are lost to find their way, and I pray for you. :-(
