  • Team America: Fuck Yeah!

    team america posterNothing is to taboo for Tray Parker and Matt Stone. How many other Hollywood-produced movies features dolls getting down like Ron Jeremy during his most glorious days, 5 minute puke-scene or having a theme song named, “America, Fuck Yeah”, with memorable lyrics like,

    NFL, FUCK, YEAH!
    Rock and roll, FUCK YEAH!
    The Internet, FUCK YEAH!
    Slavery, FUCK YEAH!

    FUCK YEAH!

    Trey Parker is a musical genius and with backup from Harry Gregson Williams can nothing go wrong.

    Parker and Stone have really accomplished making a very smart film. They’ve created a spoof with several different satirical levels attacking action film stereotypes, world policy, the UN, Michael Moore, terrorists, American abuses of power, American influence on world peace, dictators, Hollywood actors, etc. etc. etc.

    Simply a must see!

  • Killerwhale jumps a kayaker

    What could have been one of the most impressive natural footages of recent time is not really that amazing nor real. The “Killerwhale jumps a kayaker“-movie that is floating around the internet is nothing more than a cut down version of an extremely clever and well-done commercial for “Powerade”

    It’s from the same people who did the “Guy surfing on a tsunami“-commercial, which, due to logical reasons, are withdrawn now.

    Anyways, here is the movie for those how’s interested.

  • iPod ads

    I must say that I’m pretty impressed by the commercials for the iPod. Fresh, forward-thinking and catchy. Personally I’m not big a fan of the actual iPod, but the commercial rock however … 🙂

  • Where eagles dare

    Were eagles dare posterLast night i revived a good old war-classic, Where Eagles Dare (Örnnästet in Swedish). This World War II drama, which stars Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood, is full of tension and excitement. Amazing how a 37 year old movie can be so much better than most war-movies produced today.

    Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood lead a group of commandos on a mission to rescue a captured American general held in a highly fortified and remote castle held by the Germans in WWII (Schloß Hohenwerfen in the Austrian Alps). There are more twists and turns in the story than in most War-movies. Great spy vs spy action and outstanding performances by the actors, a must see!

    Next in line of my infamous World War II bash is, The longest Day. Will report back when i’ve watched it.

    See you in the trenches.

  • Speed Up Firefox

    Firefox logoI found this little neat tutorial on how to speed up our little Firefox, and it’s working remarkably good, if you’re on a high-speed connection. Sadly i don’t know who discovered and wrote the tutorial in the beginning, so thanks to whoever it was who did it!

    Here’s something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

    1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return.
    Scroll down and look for the following entries:

    network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining
    network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

    Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.
    When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really
    speeds up page loading.

    2. Alter the entries as follows:

    Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

    Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

    Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

    3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it
    “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0“. This value is
    the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it
    recieves.

    If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages MUCH faster now!

  • Amazing tsunami footage.

    Various photos showing Kalutra beach in Sri Lanka before and after the tsunami struck, this really gives you an idea of the devastation that it caused.

    Please do not deeplink (direct link) to those images, i do not have enough bandwidth to host them for that. Thanks.
