For those who think wrestling is fake
2004-03-24 00:08:19
It pisses me off that some people hate wrestling because they think its fake. Its quite silly I beleive, I mean if they dont like it because hey nothing against it, just dont like to watch it then hey thats fine but here is a rant for you people who think wrestling is fake. In fact I suggest you look at your anime/movie collection and think about it. Lets do a rundown on both sides of entertainment. In one corner the ever so glamorous and over rated live action/anime/animated/televsion etc etc side, then in the other corner we have pro wrestling which less face it is treated like its the red headed step sister of the other form of entertainment. Lets compare shall we.
Professional Wrestling
Season: no seasons they compete nearly over 300 days a year, no breaks unless they get seriously injured.
Stunts: They do all of their own, right in front of you. Their canvas is made out of thin plastic then under laid with hard wood, then three sheets of steel, then more wood, then hard brings to add a little bounce but it ain't no bed. And until you get knocked down on one yourself YOU CAN'T TELL ME SHIT!
Attacks: Sort of follows up from stunts, yes the punches are fake, the kicks are fake. However if one guy don't like the other then it tends to get more real.If wrestling is so fake then why do so many wrestlers end up breaking their necks literally. You know what before you tell me wrestling is fake take a trip over to a man named Darren Drozdov (I may misspelled but former WWE fans know him as Droz), he is now paralyzed. He has been for a few years now because he took a power bomb wrong. Go to him and tell him wrestling is fake because I rest assure you while hockey and football players get herniated disks they usually soak up commercial fame then stop, wrestlers they rehab and come back.
(Corey takes a breath)
Storyline: its scripted, yes
Movies/Television (whatever)
Season: Movies/TV usually film for 4 months more or less on a season or movie itself. Then stop soak up the glamor that BS Hollywood has to offer then off to another movie/TV season or show.
Stunts: Oh yes praise your cool stars but none of them do all of their stunts. Yes the stunts in Hollywood are MUCH more dangerous but less face it, do they perform it in front of 10 000 people 300 days a year or more, no. The stunts are dangerous so yes get trained stunt doubles to do it so it looks good, understandable. The ground could be anything thats harder or softer than a wrestling canvas but hey instead of falling a few feet to the ground thats what scene cuts are for which leads me to....
Attacks: Every time you see Van Damme do a helicopter kick do you notice that right before you see impact there is a scene cut to the opponent reacting? That is Hollywood scene cutting at work, thats pretty much movie making right there. Action scenes is all about making it look like it hit but 7 times out of 10 they didn't hit each other. In fact when it comes to punching and kicking without the scene cutting they do it in the same style as wrestlers do just with out the stomping on the canvas (which they do that to more or less to make it sound like there was contact). Take it from a kid who lived 14 out of his 19 year life watching movies and watching wrestling that wrestlers do better fake punching than Hollywood's biggest stars. Jackie Chan is the only guy who I give my respect to in Hollywood for doing stunts and attacks, no one else. Lets face it though if Jet Lei herniated a disc in his lower back, would he ever do the same amount of stunts he used to? I doubt it.
Storyline: 100% scripted. Ending planned out from before shooting unless a few changes here and there but more or less when you see it on screen everything was pre determined.
Which is more faker
Pro wrestling or movies/television shows
Unless you didn't listen I would say its movies/television. I think its pretty simple. Before you insult me because I want to be a professional wrestler and go on with your wrestling is fake thing take a look at your favorite show or maybe even your movie collection and then prove to me that wrestling is more faker than a movie like lets say Aliens.
Dont get me wrong I dont hate all movies or TV shows. Dont think that just because you may not like pro wrestling that I am performing a witch hunt on you. To each his/her own, however I am only saying this because people like to be more ignorant than usual when it comes to saying no they don't like wrestling. I mean if I ask the average joe if they like wrestling, if they say no more or less because it just not something they like to watch, not their preference. Then thats alright I can understand that. However say its fake and lets face it you are making yourself look like an asshole, think about it.
In the end ITS ENTERTAINMENT! You watch these shows like wrestling or lets say Buffy The Vampire Slayer. It doesn't matter you watch to enjoy, to escape reality for awhile to be something that is both side's sole purpose TO ENTERTAIN YOU. Kicking one form of entertainment just because YOU believe it's fake is no better than kicking the other. I love anime but lets face it, animation movies/shows are faker than any form of entertainment there is. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Of course thats only my opinion, no one ever listens to me....

An update
2004-03-20 14:19:55
I am on a different computer right now.
Sent in my computer two days ago, still not word on whats going on. I doubt i wont get my computer back till the end of the month. Once I get back I will get on AMV making again. Till then I am taking a break from constant AMV making.
I have been striving for sleep for awhile and no matter how much I have gotten I feels like I haven't had any.
I dont know where I am standing right now I am just living. -
The search for the big one
2004-03-18 17:06:42
Well a night as passed and I see 15 people have seen my new hate AMV and right now its average is 3.33 stars. I have a feeling it will be lower once the average becomes more truer (which comes after a week or 2) I guess in the end it will end up being the worst one I have done in a long time. I can get over it, it just bewilders me that I can't get over 4 stars average on any of my AMVs.
Star Averages for all of the AMVs hosted
Cat Scratch Fever - 3.32
Bat Out Of Hell - 3.33
Voodoo - 2.91 (Currently the worst rating I have, not surprising since I put in my old version of it with bad quality and it was at my first year editing. Not to mention its the most under rated AMV I ever created)
Rally Ridin' - 3.00
Against The Wind - 3.41
A Boy Named Sue - 3.46
Only One Memory - 3.15
Victims Of Moira Syndrome - 3.19
History In Anime - 3.54
The World Was Never Enough: Case Study Of Gendo Ikari - 3.57 (strongest star rating)
I'm Still Here - 3.56 (second strongest)
Bat Out Of Hell 3 - 3.32
Everboy Hates Me - 3.33
My star average is 3.31. Which means my AMVs are ok but not great.
My average opinion wise shows much more better promise. it is of 95 people over the span of 3 years.
Original 8.33 (0.03 points above over all average of the community)
Capture 7.14
Sound 8.32
Action 7.54
Lip 5.39 (of course its my weakest attirbute in AMV making)
Effects 7.08
Effort 7.89
Review 6.87 (second worst in here, I can make AMVs but it seems they are only good for one viewing)(Corey feels like he wants to pull an Exorcist with his head)
Overall 7.51
In the end I am surprised History In Anime is getitng such good ratings, because I thought for the fact of it being in bad quality and alot of under layings of hidden humor (I am known for that, its only when I explain it myself people laugh) that most people would not mind it just not love it.
In the end I am still looking for my big one, with the Gendo AMV being the best of them, does that mean I make better AMVs while I am sick. Maybe I should just pick up SARS and then I can finally get a 4 star rating (just joking).
Dont mind me its just that I keep forgeting I can't satisfy everyone, or in my case its the same as my new AMV, I can't satisfy anybody with a godlike AMV. I am in constant search for the AMV that would be the greatest. oH well I should be happy at least I dont have anything under 2.5 as an average so that means I don't suck, well at least not to others. Oh well I just got to stick true to my style since I like it that way, nearly old school yet something of my own.
I am sending my computer to the shop again because my DVD player isn't working again, same goes for my CD burner this time. Not to mention my computer blanks out every once in awhile. -
Biting the hand that feeds me
2004-03-18 04:18:45
Finally released the "Everyboyd Hates Me" AMV. Just found out that the deadline for Animethon 11's AMV contest is May 31st. That makes me happy because that gives me more time to polish what AMVs I am doing. However i hope I keep a good mood throughout definitely after the contest. As well all know competition brings the worst out of me, espacially losing. I would hate to win just for the fact that everyone was sick of me crying i honestly like all the AMVs I seen there (except the Alternate Reality one, it was funny but just overkill long and beating a joke to death by the end). I just hope I dont be a sore loser and just keep my love for AMV making more than winning strong. Right now I am just excited for AMV making and seeing the crowd reaction to them. Hopefully I will be able to do better. Tomorrow I am planing one project i am not too sure will be accepted mostly because it will be a horror, using a new Black Jack DVD entitled "Infection" I have been thinking of making a sequel to my under rated AMV "Victims Of Moira Syndrome". It will all depend I guess on what transpires. Either way I am totally excited for the AMV contest. As for will my friend be with me this time. I doubt it, sort of feeding off "I'm Still Here" AMV he left the AMV arena and has joined another friend doing GMVs (game music videos). I would love for RJ (Shadow Productions) to kick back into high gear and make an AMV again (for those at Animethon 10 he was the one wearing a black trench coat), he hasn't made an AMV in years but never say never. Either way I have a feeling I will be going alone this time, oh well most of what I do I do alone anyway.
With the hate AMV done I am clearing my drive for raw clips and preping for the next adventure/AMV. Well till next time.

New AMV done
2004-03-16 14:56:31
"Everybody Hates Me" is finished, well in most ways yes, I just want to fix the lip sync more which shouldn't take long, make it as good as I can get it then probably release it tomorrow.
Then its back to holy wars.
Just wanted to say that here.
