Here is the latest episode of south park.
I wish they win another emmy this year. That WoW episode was simply amazing.
Enjoy!
After South Park's smashing hit parody of World Of Warcraft (Make Love Not Warcraft), the studio is getting ready for another episode of quality foolishness. Tonight, November 7th, 2007 at 10:00pm ET, south park's new Guitar Hero episode will be aired on Comedy Network (very nice!). Stan, the fat boy, is once again on the verge of breaking up with his friends as he becomes cocky, believing that he is the king of Guitar Hero.
For all you who haven't heard of Guitar Hero, which I really doubt, Guitar Hero is a game, much like ddr, but instead you are in control of a toy "guitar" with large buttons at which you can smack at your pleasure. The newest version of this game, Guitar Hero III - Legends of Rock, has sold more than $115 million dollars in its first week. Not only does this enlighten the video games department, Toy R Us is also getting some credit for selling different forms of "guitar" joysticks.
It's hard to imagine Guitar Hero's success; it was an underdog not so long ago (The first version of Guitar Hero was released back in 2005). But once again, this did allow many hopeless (not you!) people engage in their inner rock-god-mode and play some face-melting tracks with minimal difficulty.
The Umbrella Academy by Gerard Way (singer from My Chemical Romance)

Halloween Special!
Many of you might not have heard of this story. The front man of modern rock band My Chemical Romance is actually a former cartoonist - in fact, that was his dream as a young man. As a singer and songwriter, he still often, in his spare time, create awesome cartoons of the dreadful (emo) stories in his head.
Don't be mistaken, this doesn't mean that they are not enjoyable. His debut comic, The Umbrella Academy, features a group of seven disbanded superheroes who re-unit after death, re-train, and save the world (much like fantastic 4 or the league of extraordinary gentlemen) . Yes Gerard! We needed something with "death" sooner or later. "Death" is always such a useful catchphrase. The heroes are all seemingly lively, hard to say if they will be original though (all forms of super power have been exploited in the past..). The leader of the gang is Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a renown scientist and inventor. The main antagonist is the Conductor of The Black Orchestra. I'm really liking these names; Gerard has a natural talent with language.
An art school graduate might give it all to start another MCR, but Gerard's passion for art still resides despite his grand success in music (impressive.. celebrities writing comics...). His new comic will fuel the struggling comic industry and quench the thirst of many MCR fans. It will be interesting to see how well his comic will do when it comes out later this year or early next year. Gee, why wait until the madness, preorder one today!

This movie is now in theaters everywhere!
Five minutes into "Into the Wild", I predicted it to be an average biography of a man touring the world. At the end, it turned out to be the most meaningful 2h20m of my life. Supertramp is not just any tramp, or just any man. He is on the same level as Jesus, Buddha, and all those good folks. Yet, he is not, because he is very human, and easy to relate to - that is why this movie can convey so many messages that religion can't. I found it to be both touching and terrifying, but overall powerful, brilliant, and connects well with the audience; there are just too few of these films, or else it should deserve its own sub-genre of drama.
The film is based on the true life story of Christopher McCandless, an astute college graduate who have lived through so much pain as a child that he decided to abandon the future of a "normal" life and start his own spiritual journey as a tramp (hence his nickname Supertramp). As a young man, his original motivation was anger and frustration, but this soon grew into something greater, and he was on his quest for the truth of happiness. While he traveled through numerous cities he was enlightened by the people around him, and through self-discovery and catharsis he did, in the end, discovered the truth of happiness (I found "the truth" very touching - and trust me I don't find a lot of things touching).
Some quotes from this movie are very insightful, so I found myself the effort here to include some.
...how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong... but to feel strong.Apparently there is a book called "Into the Wild" and it's quite famous. Too bad I've never even heard of it before seeing the movie - now I am probably going to read it.
...If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibilities of life are destroyed.
...I think careers is a 20th century invention, and I don't want one...
Anyways, I strongly recommend you to watch it. The characters are all friendly and easy to relate to. The storyline is simple but strong. Each word of the script is crystal clear and magnificently presented. Overall it was almost unreal - I couldn't stop thinking about it after. It might just be the most emotionally satisfying movie of the year, and it might just give you a new perspective on life and happiness, as it did for me.

J.K. Rowling has once again succeeded in robbing young children of their innocence. Personally, as a teenager who grew up in the bloom of "Harry Potter", I knew from the start that her delusive fantasy was somewhat misleading and definitely ostensible. Now i may furthermore prove myself justified! That British son of gun had it all thought out before she even decided that this would be a children's book.
On the press conference on Oct. 16, J.K. revealed that the uncanny side of Hogward's headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is indeed a gay wizard. This finally gave rise to the rumor that haunted the Potter community. J.K. further added that Dumbledore had a serious affair with Gellert Grindelwald, Voldmort's precessor who appears in the 7th book. The crowd then erupts with applause and cheers (what is wrong with these people). J.K. concluded this perverted lemon-party conversation with "I would have told you earlier if I knew it made you so happy". Gee thanks J.K., now we can all sleep at night. I suppose it is a good way to end a best-selling series.
