The 2011 Trenchie Awards

Published on December 31, 2011 by Trench Reynolds in Trenchie Awards. 0 Comments Tags: .

It’s that time of year again. Time for the 11th annual post that my wife looks forward to all year. It’s the 2011 Trenchie Awards. Heh, how many blogs can say they’ve done anything for 11 years in a row…but I digress.

Best Movie: Green Lantern. Actually X-Men First Class was the better movie but I’m such a GL fanboy any movie with the Green Lantern oath in it gets my vote. Also I don’t care what the haters say. I thought it was pretty faithful to the comics with just enough tweaking to make it work as a movie.

Worst Movie: Captain America: The First Avenger. Like I said in my review it was the best Captain America movie ever made but they didn’t have to try real hard to do that. I expected more from a cast that included Hugo Weaving and Tommy Lee Jones.

Best Album: Dystopia by Iced Earth. Without Matt Barlow at vocals I was really worried about this album but Stu Block is more than a worthy successor to the Iced Earth vocal crown.

Worst Album: Cold Wind on Timeless Days by Charred Walls of the Damned. The problem with CWOTD is that while I can identify a song as being theirs, 9 times out of 10 I can’t identify which song it is. That’s a shame really because Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens is one of the great metal vocalists of all time.

Best TV Show: I couldn’t narrow it down to one so I have shows in different genres. In the reality show genre it’s Sons of Guns. I like the fact that they actually acknowledge that they are on a TV show. In the sitcom category it’s 2 Broke Girls. I thought this show was going to be a bad Odd Couple rip off but it has turned out to be a fun and funny politically incorrect romp. In the animation department it’s Young Justice. The writing animation is top-notch. Bet animated super hero series since Justice League.

Worst TV Show: Deception with Keith Barry. For like the blink of an eye Discovery had this show on about Keith Barry who claims to be a mentalist. Discovery is supposed to be about science and facts but what this guy was slinging was not only pseudoscience, in my opinion, but had also been disproven by several episodes of Mythbusters.

Best Comic: Without question it was the new run on Daredevil. I read someone on the web that said that this is the greatest run on the character since Frank Miller and I would have to agree. Not only that but I am a hardcore DC Comics loyalist so when I say a Marvel title is good you can count on it.

Worst Comic: Spider Island. So everyone in Manhattan gets Spider-Man’s powers. Possibly the worst storyline ever.

Best Video Game: Yes, I brought this category and my gaming career out of retirement just for this game. Batman: Arkham City. My only regret is that you can’t roam the city with Nightwing or Robin.

Worst Video Game: WWE ’12. For this game to be even remotely entertaining I had to turn all the difficulties down to what I like to call window-licker mode.

Dumbass of 2011: Dana Redd, Mayor of Camden, NJ. The country’s #2 most dangerous city is probably the most mismanaged city in the country. You can’t lay off half the police force and then have the other half writing tickets instead of stopping real crime. It’s time to flatten Camden and start over.

Most Inane Political Agenda of 2011: There was not even any competition on this one. It has to go to the #Occupiers. They want the disparity between rich and poor to be lessened but don’t want to do any real work to achieve that goal. I could go on for days about this.

Biggest Jackass Celebrity of 2011: Peter Jackson. Yes, Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson. His devotion to convicted child killer Damien Echols is almost fanatical in scope. Not only did he pay to have Echols come to his native New Zealand and had the New Zealand Government waive a restriction that keeps murderers out of their country, he also directed a West Memphis 3 ‘documentary’ that Echols produced and they both got matching tattoos.

As always don’t be a statistic tonight and hopefully we’ll do this in another 366 days.

The 2010 Trenchie Awards

Published on December 31, 2010 by Trench Reynolds in Trenchie Awards. 0 Comments

Once again it’s time for the 10th annual blog post that my wife likes the most, the 2010 Trenchie Awards.

Best Movie: Shutter Island. Sorry folks but I liked this movie. If you were one of those people who figured out the ending before the end of the movie I feel sorry for you. One of the greatest joys to me is being truly surprised by the ending of a good movie. I’m not a DiCaprio fan but I liked him in this. I didn’t see Inception.

Worst Movie: Iron Man 2. The acting was great, the cast was great, the effects were great, the writing just wasn’t there and I felt the ending was a little more than anticlimactic.

Best Album: 2010 was a great year in music for me. There were great releases by such bands as Fozzy, Overkill, Charred Walls of the Damned, and Stone Sour. However I’m going to bend the rules a little bit here because for the best album for 2010 was actually an album that came out in 2009. Jade and I attended a concert back in the fall that was opened by a band called Halestorm. I’ve been in love with the band ever since. Fronted by Lzzy Hale their self titled album is just pure raw rock at its best. A woman hasn’t rocked this hard since Joan Jett. Bands like Lacuna Coil, Flyleaf and Evanescence wish they could be half as talented and not over produced like Flyleaf. And the great part is they’re even better live than they are in studio.

Worst Album: It seems they keep winning this category every year that they release a new album. The Final Frontier by Iron Maiden. I’ve loved Maiden since I was a kid. I saw them several times in concert back in the day but again they haven’t put out a decent studio album since 2000′s Brave New World.

Best TV Show: AMC’s The Walking Dead. Again the job of a good TV show is to keep my interest in tuning in again next week and The Walking Dead did just that. I think the fact that it only had a 6 episode season was a good thing too. No dragging shit out forever.

Worst TV Show: Top Gear America on History. Look, it’s not a bad show. I actually enjoy it but it’s Top Gear for people who have never seen the real Top Gear. It’s Top Gear Light.

Best Comic: Hey kids a new category. Since I started reading comics again I thought it was only natural. Anyway in 2010 I really enjoyed the Batman titles with Dick Grayson as Batman while Bruce Wayne was lost in time. Not a big fan of Bruce Wayne being lost in time though.

Worst Comic: Deadpool MAX. I get it. Deadpool is a goofy character and all but my problem wasn’t with Deadpool as much as it was with the supporting characters. It seems the writers had too much fun putting in gags about poop and sodomy. It was like a Kevin Smith fanboy tried to write a comic like Kevin Smith.

Dumbasses of 2010: Everybody who boycotted their local BP station. The only thing you were doing was taking the money way from a local business in a tough economy.

Most Inane Political Agenda of 2010: This is a two patrter. Not only does it go to the people who started the ‘Pray for Obama’s death’ Facebook page but also for the people who were outraged that probably wouldn’t have batted an eyelash if there was a pray for George W. Bush’s death Facebook group.

Biggest Jackass Celebrity of 2010: As much as I don’t want to recognize that their celebrities I have to go with the cast of Jersey Shore. I take umbrage to this program because I grew up on the South Jersey Shore, or as we call it…the beach. Only tourists call it ‘the shore’. And these assclowns and hambeasts aren’t even from New Jersey. They’re Bennies from New York.

That’s it for 2010. Don’t be a statistic on Amateur Night II and hopefully we’ll do this again next year for the 11th time.

The 2009 Trenchie Awards

Published on January 1, 2010 by Trench Reynolds in Trenchie Awards. 0 Comments Tags: .

For the 9th year in a row it’s my wife’s favorite feature of the site, the 2009 Trenchie Awards.

Best Movie: Taken with Liam Neeson. Actually saw this one in the theater with the lovely and talented Mrs. Trench. Liam Neeson hasn’t kicked this much ass since Darkman. The only thing wrong with it that it was PG-13. If this had been an R it would have been the prefect movie.

Worst Movie: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. The original Street Fighter was better. Dishonorable Mention goes to Watchmen for the fact there was no smoking in the movie while smoking played an integral role in the comic.

Best Album: This was a tough one but the nod goes to The Devil You Know by Heaven and Hell aka the Dio era Black Sabbath. Narrowly getting beat out was Endgame by Megadeth.

Worst Album: Play My Game by Tim Ripper Owens. I love Ripper but this album was not anywhere near as good as the Beyond Fear album from a few years ago.

Best TV Show: Batman: The Brave and the Bold. I am a sucker for super hero cartoons and this one didn’t disappoint. I like how they mixed the mythos of the different eras of Batman. Not to mention it did something that no one has ever done before. It made Aquaman interesting. Honorable mentions go to How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, and Mythbusters.

Worst TV Show: All the dumbass ‘ghost’ and psychic shows that seem to be polluting the airwaves. When Animal Planet even has their own haunted show you know the genre is oversaturated. Not to mention they’re lowering the collective IQ of their audiences.

Dumbasses of 2009: The Teabaggers. To call their little circle jerks Tea Parties lessens the impact of the original Tea Party.

Most Inane Political Agenda of 2009: The Birthers. Obama was born in Hawaii, a U.S. state. You people are just as bad as the people who wanted to see Bush’s National Guard records. You lost the election. Get over it.

Biggest Jackass Celebrity of 2009: Jesse Ventura. He used to be cool. Now he’s just desperate for attention with his idiotic conspiracy show. Occam’s Razor people.

Don’t become a statistic tonight and we’ll do this again next year.

The 2005 Trenchie Awards

Published on January 3, 2006 by Trench Reynolds in Trenchie Awards. 0 Comments Tags: .

I wasn’t going to do one this year since the site has become more focused in its subject matter but by popular demand (from my wife) I bring to you the 5th annual Trenchie awards.

Best Movie I saw in 2005: Without a doubt it has to be Sin City which will probably cause at least one person to stop reading my site. It was the only movie that actually got me out of the house to go see a movie in the theaters.

Worst Movie I saw in 2005: Strawberry Estates. This was an independent horror film that was absolutely painful to watch. It looks like it was filmed by 13-year-olds with their parents’ video camera. It introduced me to the evil That is Ron Bonk. Jade’s honorable mention was the remake of the Amityville Horror. She said no matter how many times Ryan Reynolds takes off his shirt she still couldn’t watch that movie all the way through.

Best Album of 2005: Advance and Vanquish by 3 Inches of Blood. This actually came out in late 2004 but 2005 was not a good year in albums for me and I bought it in 2005 and it’s the album I listened to most in 2005. If you like old school metal like Manowar you’ll like 3 Inches of Blood.

Worst Album of 2005: Angel of Retribution by Judas Priest. Maybe there was too much hype leading up to the release of the album where Rob Halford was reunited with Judas Priest but it was definitely a disappointment. Only two good songs from what should have been Album of the Year was disappointing.

Best TV Show of 2005: House. Duh. Honorable mention goes to Bones and How I Met Your Mother.

Worst TV Show of 2005: Law and Order. The entire franchise. I never liked CI. Regular L&O has gone seriously downhill since Jerry Orbach died. And SVU has been having these inane shows that start off with SVU type crimes and go off into these weird liberal preachy tangents that have nothing to do with SVU crimes.

Best Wrestling Moment of 2005: The Night Matt Hardy returned unexpectedly to the WWE to attack Edge. Too bad they screwed up the development of the angle from there on out.

Worst Wrestling Moment of 2005: The death of Eddie Guererro. Vaya Con Dios.

Best Videogame of 2005: Suikoden Tactics. A strategy game from the makers of the RPG series. It kept me addicted for weeks.

Worst Videogame of 2005: Suikoden IV. I’m a huge fan of the series but unless you’re using a cheat disc like Codebreaker this game was painful to play.

Dumbass of 2005: All the people who rushed to the gas pumps in the wake of Hurricane Katrina due to fears of a gas crisis. Thanks to you we actually had a gas crisis for a while.

Most Inane Political Agenda of 2005: All the “Free Tookie” idiots.

Biggest Jackass Celebrity of 2005: Like there was any doubt on this one. Between the couch jumping and the personal attack on psychiatry and Brooke Shields it has to go to Tom Cruise.

That’s it for 2005 kids. Who knows if there will be a 6th annual awards entry.

As always it was your pleasure.

The 2004 Trenchie Awards

Published on December 31, 2004 by Trench Reynolds in Trenchie Awards. 0 Comments Tags: , .

It’s the post that I look forward to all year long. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the 4th annual Trenchie awards. The best and worst of my year as voted for by me. Let’s get right to it.

Best Move I’ve Seen This Year:
Veronica Guerin. This movie about an Irish journalist is assassinated by drug dealers she wrote about in a series of stories moved me in a way that I’ve never been moved before. I was first made aware of the story by the song “Veronica Guerin” off the Savatage album “Wake of Magellan”. If you get a chance check out both the movie and the CD.

Worst Movie I?ve Seen This Year:
There was a plethora of movies to choose from this year. There was the unspeakable 13th Child which was supposed to be a horror movie about the legend of the Jersey Devil. I don;t know what that crap was though. Then there was the British indie flick Blood about a girl who was genetically altered to have narcotic blood. It’s only saving grace was gratuitous nudity. But the winner/loser has to be Elephant. This movie about a Columbine-like school shooting has to be the most boring piece of crap I’ve ever seen. The critics creamed their jeans over this movie calling its writer/director Gus Van Sant a genius. As usual the critics are on crack. It was like having a tooth drilled with no novocaine for 81 minutes.

Best Album of the Year:
This was tough. It was a pretty good year for music. There was Master of the Moon by the metal god that is Dio. There was also Inner Circle by Evergrey. However this years winner took the title early and never let go. It was The Glorious Burden by Iced Earth. Their first album with new vocalist and one-time Judas Priest frontman Tim “Ripper” Owens. A themed album that dealt mostly with the history of war. This album is the definition of metal.

Worst Album of the Year:
The Neon God Part 1: The Rise by W.A.S.P. The first part of a concept album released by the lesser of the metal gods Blackie Lawless. While I am a huge fan of the first W.A.S.P. concept album The Crimson Idol this one just doesn’t even come close. Made me not want to pick up Vol 2.

Best TV Show of the Year:
The winner and new champion is House the medical drama on Fox. It knocked 24 out of the top spot since season 3 of 24 was all over the map in terms of storyline. House is about a doctor who solves patients diagnoses that other doctors can’t discern. Did I mention that he hates people? My kind of doctor.

Worst TV Show of the Year:
I have to give dishonorable mention to The 4400. The concept of that show started out great about 4400 people who were returned to earth after being abducted by aliens through the past 7 decades and returning with no knowledge of them being gone or having aged a day. Then they all started getting SUPERPOWERS. I stopped watching at that point. But the winner/loser has to go to Stephen King’s Kingdom Hospital. This show was so painful to watch. Stephen King should just stick to books.

Best Wrestling Moment of the Year:
Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit winning their respective world titles at Wrestlemania XX. It showed that popular world champions don’t have to be big juiced out freaks. Sadly from what I hear we’re getting more huge juiced out freaks in the future from Vinny Mac.

Worst Wrestling Moment of the Year:Apparently the WWE is very tightfisted about allowing people to post pics on the web. Bastards. Anyway it has to be the Lita/Kane pregnancy angle. Not only was this possibly the worst storyline ever it may also go down in history as the most offensive. Plus it’s the angle that put old moon face himself Gene Snitsky on out TV’s. That should be reason enough right there.

Best Video Game of the Year:
I know what you’re saying. What about Halo? What about San Andreas? I have one word for you. Baaaaaaaaaa. Front Mission 4 from Square-Enix was the most engrossing and addictive game I played all year. It’s a turn based tactics style game where you battle evil in giant robots armed with giant machine guns, shotguns, and missiles. Honorable mention has to go to Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. A ground breaking RPG. Instead of saving the world the world has already been destroyed and you have to survive. My only complaint is that some of the levels are long and boring.

Worst Video Game of the Year:
Samurai Warriors by Koei. While Little Jay and myself are big fans of the hack and slash Dynasty Warrior series, Samurai Warriors didn’t live up to its predecessors. The incredibly lousy camera angles totally ruined any chance of decent gameplay.

Best Movie Line of the Year:
From The Boondock Saints when Rocco fondles the passed out strippers breast. Connor MacManus says”What the fuck are you doing?” Rocco screams “I’ll tip her”. I’m not doing it justice. See the movie.

Biggest Dumbass of the Year:
Bruce Friedrich of PETA who compared the chickens KFC uses to the time in our country when blacks were used as slaves.

Most Inane Political Agenda of the Year:
Remember the woman who refused to have a C-section and ended up killing on of her babies that we lovingly refer to as Scarzilla. Well at the time of her court appearances pro-death organizations like NOW, NARAL and the ACLU were saying that the prosecutors attempt to charge her with murder was somehow a conspiracy against abortion rights.

Biggest Jackass Celebrity of the Year:My wife gave me the idea for this one. Everyone’s favorite skank ho Brittney Spears. Two marriages, one over in less than 24 hours. The other to a no name dancer with no pre-nup while his ex-girlfriend was pregnant with his child. Going into gas station bathrooms in bare feet. And the list goes on and on. You can take the girl out of the trailer park but you can’t take the trailer park out of the girl.

That’s it for this year kids. Have a safe Amateur night.

The 2003 Trenchie Awards

Published on December 31, 2003 by Trench Reynolds in Trenchie Awards. 0 Comments Tags: .

To close out the year that sucked much ass I bring you the 3rd annual Trenchie awards. Pickings were slim this year as I didn’t do a whole lot this year. So let’s get this over with.

Best Move I’ve Seen This Year: Not a banner year for movies as I’m not a LOTR geek but I’ll have to give it to 28 Days Later. Nice little twist on the zombie/apocalypse theme.

Worst Movie I’ve Seen This Year: Highlander: Endgame. You do not kill Connor MacLeod. He is THE Highlander. Blasphemers.

Best Album of the Year: Life is Killing Me by Type O Negative. I think that’s the best album title ever. Strong album too. A healthy mix of the previous 4 albums.

Worst Album of the Year: Dance of Death by Iron Maiden. Lame title. Lame cover. Lame album. And I’m a huge Maiden fan. A big disappointment considering how much I liked Brave New World.

Best TV Show of the Year: 24. Duh.

Worst TV Show of the Year: The Simple Life. Reality shows suck in general but does anyone really give a rats ass about these two skanks if their clothes are on?

Best Wrestling Moment of the Year: When the ring collapsed after Brock Lesnar superplexed The Big Show. Total holy shit moment.

Worst Wrestling Moment of the Year: When Kane attached jumper cables to Shane O Mac’s balls. I can only suspend my belief in reality for so much.

Best Video Game of the Year: While other people were shooting up Vice City I was destroying a major Japanese city in Robotic Alchemic Drive by Enix. I mean what’s cooler than giant transforming robots destroying cities while they fight each other? It’s a hard game to find so pick it up if you see it.

Worst Video Game of the Year: Simpson’s Skateboarding. Another failed attempt in the long line of sucky Simpsons games. Tony Hawk it ain’t.

Best Movie Line of the Year: No winner this year. Nothing sticks out in my head as I write this plus I didn’t see a whole lot of movies this year. Unless you count the beginning of 28 Days Later when they were experimenting on the monkey and were making it watch violent television while keeping its eyes pried open. I turned to my wife and said…”Heh…Clockwork Banana.”

Biggest Dumbass of the Year: War protesters. Get a job you filthy hippies.

Most Inane Political Agenda of the Year: After missing the mark in 2002 PETA is back in 2003 with PETA complaining that Arab terrorists were using donkeys to deliver suicide bombs. They didn’t care about the people being killed, just the donkeys.

Biggest Jackass Celebrity of the Year: So many to choose from this year. With Natalie Maines and Jeneane Garafolo coming in a close second but no one can even touch the jackassery that is Michael Moore. His offenses are to numerous to even try to list here.

Happy New Year everyone. I’m off to see the possum drop.

The 2002 Trenchie Awards.

Published on December 31, 2002 by Trench Reynolds in Trenchie Awards. 0 Comments Tags: .

That’s right kids it’s time for the 2nd Annual Trenchie Awards. The best and worst of my year as voted for by me. Last years winners will be listed after each category.

Best Movie of the Year:Gotta go with “The Ring”. It seriously creeped me out. It also might have had something to do with seeing it at a drive through at night in Deliverance County. Honorable Mention: Red Dragon.
(2001 Winner: Stigmata)

Worst Movie of The Year: “Insomnia” wins hands down. Like I said on my message board this movie was so boring it should have been called “The Cure for Insomnia”
(2001 Winner: American Psycho)

Best Album of The Year: “Killing the Dragon” by Dio. Just as good as his early solo stuff. Honorable Mention: “Happenstance” by Fozzy.
(2001 Winner: Horror Show by Iced Earth)

Worst Album of The Year: Geoff Tate’s solo album. No offense Geoff but stick to Queensryche.
(2001 Winner: Stronger than Death by Black Label Society)

Best TV Show of The Year: “24″ wins hands down. Either season.
(2001 Winner: Murder in Small Town X)

Worst TV Show of the Year: Scraping the bottom of the barrel for this one because it really wasn’t that bad a year for TV. But I gotta go with “Ultraman Tiga” on Fox Kids. When I heard a new Ultraman show was coming to the States I was psyched because I loved watching the original Ultraman when I was a kid. The new one just plain sucks. It’s still Japanese actors dubbed in English but they made the dialogue into comedy and it wasn’t funny at all.
(2001 Winner: The Joan Cusack Show)

Best Wrestling Moment/Match of the Year: Tommy Dreamer vs. Rob Van Dam to unify the Hardcore and Intercontinental titles. I was sad to see the HC title go but I’m an old ECW fan from back in the day and this was a great match that almost rose to ECW standards.
(2001 Winner: Chris Jericho wins Undisputed Title)

Worst Wrestling Moment/Match of the Year: Do I even need to say it?? Triple H getting it on with a “corpse” while disguised as Kane.
(2001 Winner: Having to see Chris Jericho in a speedo)

Best Video Game of the Year: A late entrant this year but the winner is Suikoden III. I have been obsessed with this Japanese RPG since I got it. Final Fantasy X was really good but it was a little easy.
(2001 Winner: Twisted Metal Black)

Worst Video Game of The Year: Way of the Samurai. Avoid this game at all cost.
(2001 Winner: Simpson’s Wrestling)

Best Movie Line of the Year: John Ratzenberger as The Abominable Snowman in “Monsters Inc.” “He made himself a diaper out of poison ivy, wore it on his head like a tiara and called himself King Itchy.”
(2001 Winner: Lou Diamond Phillips in Bats. “Don’t tell me I’m up to my chest in bat shit.”)

Biggest Dumbass of the Year: We have a repeat winner. For the second Year in a row is Charlotte radio station WXRC 95.7′s station Manager Dave Ligafelt. First he changed the format from the only hard rock station in town to another classic rock station. This year he changed the format to 60′s and 70′s and called it “The Ride”. Thanks for disappointing metal fans for two years in a row.
(2001 Winner: WXRC Station Manager Dave Ligafelt)

Most Inane Political Agenda of the Year: We had a lot to choose from this year. But the winner has to be easily offended Kalifornia Atheist possible communist Micheal Newdow. You remember him. He was the guy who said his daughter was offended by “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance and got it declared unconstitutional by the 9th Circuit Court. Turned out his daughter was a practicing Christian.
(2001 Winner: (tie) PETA for trying to get the USC Gamecocks to change their name and a Pennsylvania judge for overturning Mumia Abu Jamal’s death sentence.)

Biggest Jackass Celebrity of the Year: Sean Penn for being Mr. Pacifist all of a sudden and saying that violence is not the answer with Iraq. This from the guy who punches out photographers for fun.
(2001 Winner: Rage Against the Machine)

Don’t drink and drive tonight and I’ll see you next year.

The 2001 Trenchie Awards

Published on December 31, 2001 by Trench Reynolds in Trenchie Awards. 0 Comments Tags: .

For the first time and probably the last I bring you the Trenchie Awards. The best and worst of my year.

Best movie of the year: Stigmata. I know it didn’t come out this year but I saw it this year so it counts. Honorable Mention: Memento.

Worst movie of the year: American Psycho. One of those movies where at the end you go “what the fuck was that???”.

Best album of the year: Horror Show by Iced Earth. This one was tough. I was also considering Poets and Madmen by Savatage and Beyond Good and Evil by The Cult. But Iced Earth rocked the hardest.

Worst album of the year: Stronger than Death by Black Label Society. This album was an extreme let down after the very good Sonic Brew.

Best TV show of the year: Murder in Small Town X. This show was actually very suspenseful. The ending was a little anti climactic and the winner ,who was a NY fireman, I heard died in the 9/11 tragedy. Honorable Mention: Twenty Four. It’s not over yet so it might make next years list.

Worst TV show of the year: The Joan Cusack Show. This was the most painful thing I’ve ever had to watch. My wife and I now rate bad TV shows on the “Joan Cusack Scale”.

Best wrestling moment of the year: Chris Jericho becoming the Unified World champion. Honorable Mention: the ECW reunion.

Worst wrestling moment of the year: Having to see Chris Jericho in a speedo.

Best video game of the year: Not a banner year for video games and I probably won’t get Final Fantasy X for a while so I have to go with Twisted Metal Black. Not so much for the actual game but for the disturbing videos at the end.

Worst video game of the year: Simpson’s Wrestling. Continuing the long tradition of crappy Simpson’s video games.

Best movie line of the year: Lou Diamond Phillips in Bats. “Don’t tell me I’m up to my chest in bat shit.”

Biggest dumbass of the year: Station manager Dave Ligafelt of Charlotte’s 95.7 WXRC for changing the format from hard rock to yet another classic rock station.

Most inane political agenda of the year: (tie) PETA trying top get the University of South Carolina to change their team name from the Gamecocks. A Pennsylvania judge reverse the death sentence for convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Worst sports moment of the year: Ray freakin’ Borque lifiting up the Stanley Cup after the Colorado Avalnce beat the New Jersey Devils in the Stanley Cup finals. Then having the balls to take it to Boston.

Biggest jackass celeberity of the year: Rage Against The Machine who basically said in a press release that we had the 9/11 attack coming. Runner up: John Travolta for hosting some Lifetime Channel concert.

My best personal moment of the year: Taking my new family back home to my hometown in New Jersey.

Bad Behavior has blocked 1351 access attempts in the last 7 days.
