Well, there is no console port of Minecraft. Legally, he's not doing anything wrong. And as I said, it doesn't affect the PC version of Minecraft so why make a fuzz? And if it's clearly not as good as Minecraft, don't you think it will get more people's attention to Minecraft?

Today's review: GRINDHOUSE (2007) Grindhouse is the name of not one, but two movies directed and produced by none other than Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi, Spy Kids) and Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill) called Planet Terror and Death Proof. What I've gathered is that both of these movies are paying homage to 1970's exploitation movies that were made mostly to satisfy people's taste for sex and violence and such movies were often shown in special adult theaters, commonly known as "grindhouses". Nowadays, most people, especially the younger generation, most likely have no idea what these theaters meant to movie-goers or that once in the history of films, there existed independent b-movies that had little to no plot and mostly featured gratuitous sex and violence. They might not get that Grindhouse isn't just bad, it's meant to be. Grindhouse isn't just a name, it's a style, and Rodriguez and Tarantino has brought it back and perfected it, as the movies not only feature very simple plots and lots of violence and sex, but the movies have been physically damaged and worn out to look old and giving the feel they are being "ground" out by the projector and both movies have "missing reels" though this is mostly a gag used to avoid an X-rating. Both of these movies were made simultaneously in different units and even feature the some of the same cast in both of them, and were released as a double feature. Therefore I will review both of them. Planet Terror is the first of this double feature and is a flat out gorefest of a splatter flick that pays homage to classic zombie flicks and mostly John Carpenter's The Thing. And not unlike Carpenter himself, Rodriguez has solely composed and played all of the music in the movie as well as directed it, and it's probably no coincidence that a lot of the music sounds very reminiscent of the music from Carpenter films such as Escape From New York. The movie starts out with an air-carried toxin being spread all over the city of Austin, Texas, though instead of killing people, it turns them into flesh-eating puss-oozing zombies hungry for brains. A rather dumb premise, but this clearly is a movie for people who already left the brains at the front door of the theatre. In the midst of this local apocalypse, gogo-dancer Cherry Darling, played by the sexy and dangerous Rose McGowan, who spends her time finding use for her seemingly "useless" talents, meets up with an old flame, the mysterious Snake Plissken of the movie, El Wray, played by up and coming Freddy Rodriguez (no relation) in his first serious badass role. Both of them end up at the hospital after their truck gets attacked by zombies and El Wray is arrested for posessing a rifle while Cherry gets her leg chewed off by the creatures. I won't spoil the rest of the film for you, but I will say this; this movie is gory as hell. It's even up there with such gross-out classics as Brain Dead (aka Dead Alive) and The Thing. If you're in the mood to be completely grossed out, I highly recommend this one. All in all, the movie is stupid, but entertaining as hell. After a chain of hilariously bad fake trailers for movies that don't even exist, aside from Machete which actually got made (out now on BD and DVD), we get to the second half of Grindhouse, the high octane slasher flick Death Proof, featuring Kurt Russell in one of his best roles as of late. Where Planet Terror is a flat out action flick that attempts to shock the hell out of you, Death Proof is the polar opposite, being a very laid back and slow-paced thriller that strolls along at a snail's pace with all the Tarantino trademarks; being heavy on dialogue (to say the least), featuring women that kick ass and lots of prominent feet. Such as, Death Proof might be a bit boring to most people, but it has a huge payoff as it features one of the best car chases I've seen put on film. The movie is about a serial killer called Stuntman Mike, excellently and darkly portrayed by aforementioned Kurt Russell, who uses his death proof stunt car, a black 70's Dodge Charger with a white skull on the hood, to kill females he stalks beforehand. The car is an obvious homage to how old car movies were filmed, using cars specifically made for crashes and stunts, built to protect the driver from lethal injury, though this movie puts a dark twist on how such a car might be used as a weapon. After stalking and killing off a group of young women, all of them dying in a horrifying crash that is shown to its full extent via several angles from each victims' point of view, he finds and stalks a group of female friends, including the real stunt actress Zoe Bell, who worked with Tarantino on the Kill Bill set where she was a standin for Uma Thurman, playing herself as the fearless cat. What Mike does not take into consideration though, is that these victims fight back and we get a badass car chase that is unlike anything I've seen put on film recently. Here, Tarantino's mastery of the medium comes to its full right and shows us just how a car chase is supposed to be filmed and it pays excellent homage to such classics as The Road Warrior, Gone in 60 Seconds and Vanishing Point (both mentioned in the movie). Even though the movie in general is very slow and the huge amount of dialogue probably bores a lot of people, the slow paces creates a wonderful contrast that makes the action scenes stand out even more than they would in today's action flicks. Also worth checking out is Machete, which I may review later on. Planet Terror I recommend to fans of splatter flicks and John Carpenter movies. If you want a badass movie with balls (literally), don't miss out on this one. Death Proof is more for the older crowd who don't mind slow-paced movies with lots of dialogue and great action scenes. It requires a certain patience to sit through as it's probably the most typical Tarantino flick you can find, but it's clearly worth it for the payoff.

27. You spontaneously talk and act like a pirate.

How come you didn't attend?

I don't think what happens after death matters as much as how you spend your life.

I have heard of him, mostly through the remix he did for Röyksopp's "What Else Is There". Talented lad. =)

Yeah, it does. Kind of. Has the same style at least.

Wow, that sounds like a really inventive concept actually.

Either way, I have beaten Portal 2 maybe 3 times now and I think it's a pretty solid game. I can't wait to see user created maps and advanced maps and so on.

24. You have a fear of tunnels.

I am certain God exists, because that's what faith is, believing something is there that I cannot really prove is. Humans are irrational, and a lot of what we do, such as believing in God, makes no sense. But that's the beauty of the human mind in my opinion.

22. Your favourite candy is oxycodone.

It's like having a bag of equally tasty candy and picking a favourite. You end up giving up.

Hehe, sticking combines to walls = so much fun.

HP computers should be banned.

Maybe it's both, lol

Well, yes it is a total copy. I just don't understand why that is a bad thing. It's not like it hurts the PC market. It's a console game after all.

Just played some NFS HP and I'm now chatting with my boyfriend.

I like Irn-Bru a lot but it's not sold here anymore.
