The X-Box 360 or PS3?

I've been holding out on purchasing a Next Gen system.
The Xbox 360 was clearly my first choice but with the Blu-Ray HD-DVD format wars put to rest the PS3 might be the way to go. After seeing the trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII I'm feeling nostalgic for the old Final Fantasy VII days.
PEEP the trailer, your advice on which Next Gen system I should go with is welcomed.

Hillary: Bitter Much?

Last night's debate provided more entertaining moments
The Tape Don't Lie

The Farrakhan Question: WTF? While you're at it Tim Russert throw a turban on the table and ask Obama if he is in fact Osama.
"SHAME ON YOU" for pulling that card, I'm surprised he didn't ask Hillary if she'd take a week off every month as President of the United States for "Feminine Issues." Folks need to chill and stick to the Issues, this should not be about Gender or Race.

THE WIRE: Foreshadowing in season 3

For those of us who watch The Wire the question on our minds is what's going to happen to Omar?(Tonight we find out.)
Some of you may already know, but what's interesting is that way back in season three
(Season 3: Episode "Dead Soldiers") there's some foreshadowing going on. Pay attention to the kids that Bunk is observing and how the scene plays out. Hmmm is that a young Kenard trying to wrestle the stick from his fellow playmate who is pretending to be Omar?

The 2008 Grammy Awards: Kanye West

You know after Kanye's acceptance speech our Miss. Ash was going to have something to say...

Miss Ash:
Although he had no reason to throw a full-on tantrum this time, Kanye West still managed to act like a complete douche at the 2008 Grammy Awards last night. How you gonna scold the entire Grammy orchestra in the name of “good taste”? Irony much?

Listen Kanye - you won an award just like all the other winners. We all know it is not in your vocabulary to humbly accept the award and keep it moving. But how about you thank Mama FIRST and THEN find time for redundant assertions about entitlement and what not? That way, the cheesy orchestra music only cuts into your self-aggrandizement and not your “tribute” to your mother.

Watch the clip below for evidence of Mr. West's boundless arrogance and complete absence of tact. Then watch Vince Gill’s hilarious and well-timed clowning in response:


(This vid was put together by some joker on youtube but it's funny and shows all the original footage.)

(I have a feeling we'll be hearing something about Vince Gill or country music on the next Kanye album.)

I asked Miss Ash if she was secretly crushing on my boy Kanye, that is not the case.
Stay tuned the Beef Continues.

WANTED TRAILER

If any of you watched the Super Bowl, I KNOW my NY peeps did.
You probably saw the trailer for Wanted the new film by Russian Director Timur Bekmambatov. Wanted is based on the Graphic Novel penned by Mark Millar and features Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy , Morgan Freeman and Common. It's looking pretty dope( but are folks ready for another Matrix?) Shot with the new RED Camera; Techies are calling it the harbinger of digital filmmaking in the independent film industry.

The Star Trek Teaser on the header of Cloverfield was the highlight of the film, yes Ron I stand by that statement ;).
PEEP IT!

Obama in 2008


On the eve of Super Tuesday the Litmus Test for the citizens of the United States begins. Are we ready for a black or female president? A few months ago I considered voting for Hillary Clinton, after all the Clinton Adminstration was responsible for putting the U.S back on track. As First Lady, Hillary's contribution was not to be taken lightly.
Throughout the campaigns the Clinton's tactics became downright shameless.

Bill Clinton: As president he was a representative for the interest of the people not based on race and class but on some "let's makes things right shit". After his presidency he returned to the private sector with an office space in Harlem and continued to champion the cause
Human Interest.
(Clinton named head of U.N. tsunami rebuilding)

Now fast forward to 2008, my man has chosen to take it there. That's right.
His condescending remarks directed towards Obama and his acts of arrogance ("We got this Hilary, the African American vote is in the bag..."). It's insulting to the American public. This isn't a campaign based on race. The candidates have a responsibility to stick to the issues, If they're truly for the betterment of the American people it's time to step up because we're hurting.
BILL MOYERS JOURNAL | Clinton, Obama, King and Johnson | PBS

Questioning Obama's experience and his message of hope is a slap in the face of the Human Rights movement as a whole. It's what people of color,women and whites fought for so that one day ANYONE who is capable of improving our society could do so with the combined support of the people. So Hillary I'm letting you (and Bill) know MY vote is not in the bag.

I'M ENDORSING OBAMA,HIS MESSAGE IS CLEAR AND IT'S DELIVERED WITH CLASS AND HUMILITY.

Big ups to Rontronik and Miss Ash
