Hello. The topic for today is:
Tenacious D is a rock band consisting of two members, Kyle Gass, and famous comedian Jack Black. It was formed in 1994 as an acoustic band, but later became more focused on rock. The style of music played by Tenacious D is considered "mock rock" by many critics.
Their music is a fusion of vulgar absurdist comedy, and rock. I first got to know about them when I watched their movie "The Pick of Destiny". I once found the songs in that movie to be really lame, but I find them kinda good now.
Their guitar skills are undeniably good, and Jack Black's voice sounds epic. And that concludes what I have to say about Tenacious D. Maybe the topic for today should have been "how to be lazy".
Anyways, here are a few videos of my favourite Tenacious D songs:
================================================================================
I finally got to watch Detroit Metal City today!! I went to MSHS with Yeow Boon and Andrew to check if our certificates were ready yet. The certs were, but the year book wasn't. So we have to go back and collect that at some other time.
After that we went to AMK Hub to meet Say Yin and his friend. We tried to get tickets at Cathay, but DMC isn't being screened there, so we had to go to some other cinema. Say Yin had to go and get a hair cut, so we left without him.
We went to Junction 8 to check if Golden Village was showing the movie. Turns out GV does have DMC, but only at certain branches. Plaza Singapura, Marina Square and Vivocity. We planed to go to PS to watch it, but the movie only started at 4.50pm, so we had some time to kill.
We went to the arcade to watch some people play Street Fighter IV. They are super good man. Probably would pulverise me if I went up against them. Still, they are only considered average on a global scale. We went to eat at some coffee shop I never knew existed. The food was nice and cheap.
We took a train to PS, and we got the tickets. We went to look around the shops for a while, then we met Sebastian. Got our drinks, then we went into the cinema. There was actually some auntie standing at the entrance, visually checking if we were above 16 years, since the movie is NC16.
She didn't even look twice at me man!! A small victory. I look more than 16 to others. Actually, it's not really that big a deal, since I had no problem walking into Watchmen, which was M18. I don't really know if I should be happy or not that I look older than my age.
Anyways, the movie is good!! Funniest movie I've seen in a while. When it comes to Hollywood comedies, if it isn't rated M18, it isn't funny. DMC is rated NC16 because it is vulgar and there are some sexual reference.
The movie isn't as funny as the comic, but it is still much funnier than most other comedies. I especially like the power ranger headbang part. Super funny man!! It still makes me laugh every time I think of it.
Hearing the sounds and Krauser's voice on the big screen is sex. I have never felt so pleased after watching a movie in my life. Sure, I've been satisfied by movies like Watchmen and Transformers, but those are a different kind of movie that really cannot be compared to DMC.
Overall, I think DMC is a great movie that should be watched by everyone who can watch it. Just make sure that you have a little tolerance for metal music, or you'll not enjoy it at all.
After the movie, we went to visit Say Yin at Pepper Lunch, then we went to Burger King to eat because the food court was too crowded. Before eating, I went to get for my mother three metal ladles, because I set her wooden one on fire.
There was also some game sale going on at the first floor, but it was by Comics Connection. They are too damn cheap to reduce a game's price even by $10. Even during the IT show, their games were of the usual price. Lousy marketing.
After dinner, I took at bus back to Tiong Bahru. I dropped at the bus stop near the market, because I felt like walking home. Once I got home, I gave Kim a call to check some stuff with her. The way she described it was as if it was some torture method, but she assured me that it's not that bad.
Whatever it is, I'm just glad that you've got it over with :D
Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS KW!!] Ending off, see you tomorrow.
