Oh No They Didn't !!


I will step in and rant about this before either The Movie Buff or Couch 'Tato do:

Rocky Balboa aka Rocky 6? Why oh why did this movie have to happen? I was going to go off on a long, vicious blog tirade about this - but I just have no energy to spare today.

Bullet points?
- I think Sylvester Stallone's bank account finally fikad a point where he inserted his ATM card to withdraw chumz and:
(1) The ATM shredded his card instantly
(2) The ATM asked HIM for money
(3) The ATM returned one of those slips with the message "Wacha Mchezo Naniiii!"


- That speech impediment is finally killing off the rest of his thinking capacity
....


Seriously, this will probably end up being as washed-out a movie as, say, anything after Police Academy 5. This kind of creativity rot and lack of imagination makes me want to eat my teeth!

Don't get me wrong..I loved the "Rocky" series, with Rocky 3 being my absolute favourite. Now this edition will tarnish a classic series of movies into some has-been garbage bin of DVDs that will be quickly forgotten.

I was gonna put the storyline in here but it generates to nadirs of retardation that I dare not dance with. But check it out here nevertheless.

Can't think of what needs to be done in Stallone in retribution. Maybe get him to peddle Matisyahu CDs in downtown Beirut...yeah, that should do the trick!

The Friggin' Kisima Awards


So now, who won the so-called version of our Grammies?

We need to know what happened during the Kisima awards..the losers, the winners, the drama, the performances, the disses et al. Being out of Kenya currently makes the sources of such info harder to come by.

The Kisima Awards website is too ghetto and to think that someone is / was actually paid to put together and update the site? (3Mice must have pushed this one to the accounts guys to put together!). What I'm I supposed to do on that website? "Vote who I think should spearhead the fight against piracy?". Your site gets 5 mikes for usability...yeah, usability retardedness!

Oh wait! Those news whores - The Nation and The Standard - are waiting for the weekend (all in the spirit of timeliness, just like the word "News" suggests...) to unleashe the news on their premium content magazine sections - and after making us wait so long, ask us to chomoa cash to get information that is already wrapping today's nyama at the local butchery

Kisima Awards Trust - style the fuck up and update your website with the winners and the happenings of the awards. I am guessing the organizers awarded their cronnies, mates and bosses as usual. Yay, that's what we want to read about.
And the next time you need a website done, dont take your broke-asses to 3Mice!


Entertainment Media/ Media houses - news was not called olds for a reason. Do your job. We will do ours and read the crap you put out to us (an eon later...) and then blog to bitch about it.

Anyone with updates on the Awards, tafadhali hola and update distant folk on what unfolded. Did Amani win Best Newcomer? Did they give Redsan a Lifetime Achievement Award? Did 3 artists manage to scoop all the awards up for grabs, thus rendering the seemingly democratic voting process faker than a 30 dollar bill? Oh what tangled webs they weave....

Arrgh! Makes me want to re-enact the above scene from "Office Space"!

UPDATE
Here is a list of winners, in case you didnt catch them...kudos to all who won.

As much as I think Nameless is a great artist and totally respect his work, persona and professionalism, the Male Artist of the Year honestly should have gone to Jua Cali, who has grown to great extremes as a lyricist, an artist and a professional.

The dudes at Campusvybe.com had a so-so pictorial of the Kisima Awards that was put up here - at least we get to see some pics

And on that note, I have officially ceased to care about these Awards. Not until next year at least..
