Superspecialawesome Battle of the Ultimate Challange: Round 1

is delayed.

Today I was going to do the first match-up in best pokemon evar bracket, but I found out some horrible news. Also I am lazy.

Today one of the greatest voices of recent times died.

Nate Dogg

He didn't really have any great hits on his own, but he was featured on a lot of amazing songs. He usually just sang in the chorus and how glorious those choruses were. He has such a unique voice, seems almost auto-tuned.

To those that say rappers aren't singers, I say yes, but Nate Dogg has had the voice of an Angel. Every hip-hop/rap song should have featured him somewhere. He was only 41 which is very unfortunate. Also unfortunate that I am unfamiliar with his solo work

Here is some of his work with other artists where he takes the back seat, but still rocks it like a boss:

Regulator

Shake That

Til' I Collapse

Next Episode

Soooooo amazing. The voice!

Also some changes to the pokemon thing.

I'll be doing it twice a week: Wednesday and Saturday.

Also, more criteria, so the deciding factors:

Name

Classification

Appearance

Shiny

Appearance of Other evolutions 

Concept art- there is this one set of almost all the pokemon, where they are with a person who looks/is dressed similar. I call the set pokepeople.

Compettive usefulness

Uniqueness of movesets

Winner of head-to-head

So there, Round 1 will be Saturday

Tragedy has struck

I was going to write about something more entertaining, but then I checked the imdb homepage and was struck with some terrible news. A great comedian has died: Leslie Nielsen.

RIP (1926-2010)

Of more recent actor/actresses who have perished, the others I don't really care aboot. I was either unfamiliar with most of their work (Steve McQueen) or didn't really feel any particular fondness (Brittany Murphy, Dennis Hopper). Leslie Nielsen however was one of the greats. Best known for Airplane! and Naked Gun, though he was a bunch of other movies, mostly other (spoof) comedies. He is pretty recognizable, and has had gray/white for like 40 years now.

Though he had a small role in Airplane!, the greatest parody movie of all time, in Naked Gun, another great, he makes that movie what it is.

So ya, I guess I'll just review Airplane! in his honor.

Airplane! (1970)- Other than Leslie Nielsen, there aren't really all that well known actors in this. It is a parody movie of drama/tragedy films- like the plane's pilot gets ill and how can the people possibly survive! There are a lot of visual gags, and slapstick, but then, what really makes this great, are the smart jokes, clever humor.

It's a lot cleverer than the newer parody movies (the only good ones being Scary Movie and Scary Movie 3 and you can run and tell that, homeboy). And the only other parody movies that compare are Naked Gun and Hot Shots part deux.

Also, there is a lesson in ebonics:

Rating:9/10



SO in conclusion:
I guess he was old and it was his time, but I dread to think who could be next....Walken? Nicholson? Oh, what great sadness that would bring aboot.
