THE XBOX MURDER

OK.. So I was scanning some random news posts
and I came across this one.
I like to write about anything concerning games,
movies, and other things I like.
Here is the article I found about a murder and an Xbox.

XBox Murder Trial Will Begin July 5-

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. --
Jury selection in the trial of three men
accused of killing six people
because of a video game system will begin
July 5 in St. Augustine, a judge announced Friday.
Circuit Judge William A. Parsons, who earlier this month
moved the trial from Volusia County to St. Johns County,
said the six-week trial could require interviewing nearly 1,000 potential jurors.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys had agreed that
intense media coverage of the case would make it difficult
to find an impartial jury in Volusia County.
Potential jurors were less likely to be tainted by
pretrial publicity because the St. Augustine region
is in a different television and newspaper market,
Parsons said.
"At the (St. Johns County) courthouse, they asked me,
'Where is Deltona?'" Parsons said.
Jerone Hunter, 19, Troy Victorino, 29,
and Michael Salas, 20, all face
six counts of first-degree murder, five counts of
mutilating a dead human body and three other felonies.
Prosecutors allege Victorino organized the baseball bat attack
in 2004 to retrieve an Xbox
video game system that he lost.
The men face the death penalty if convicted.
A fourth man, Robert Cannon, 19,
faced the same charges as the others
and he pleaded guilty in October to all of them.
He will get a life sentence instead of the death penalty in exchange for his testimony.
Erin Belanger, 22; Francisco Ayo-Roman, 30; Anthony Vega, 34;Roberto Gonzalez, 28; Michelle Nathan, 19, and Jonathan Gleason, 17, were all killed in the attacks.
The victims, some of whom were sleeping,
did not put up a fight or try to escape, investigators said.
All were stabbed, but autopsies determined they died of the beating.

What idiots these guys were to do this.. OVER AN XBOX?!!
No item is EVER EVER worth killing for,
and going to prison for.
The only consolation we have is that
these boys are behind bars
and will never hurt anyone again.

The IMDB Wars

As usual when internet savvy people see a movie on its debut night.. they head over to the best site for movie info IMDB.com and critique the film they just saw.. Again.. some loved it, some hated it, and others were just plain confused buy it. You gotta love internet debates.
However I posted this response.. And You either love the movie or hate it.
Life continues on..

Basically in a nutshell.. It has a lot of beginning scenes that are in the games.. Rose adopted a little girl, who has nightmares when she sleepwalks and yells about a place called silent hill. Rose decides to take her daughter there but find her daughter is jsut a pawn in a much bigger game. Many years ago.. some nutso townspeople were fanatic in thinking they were the only ones who could cleanse their town and free it of evil. -The backstory of Silent Hill was not only the story of Alessa but a much older story about the first burning of the Arch Witch, Jennifer Carol. That burning has defined Silent Hill as the ground for the primeval battle between the 'perception of good and the perception of evil.' - So they burned anyone they thought was a witch or evil. There was a girl Alessa daughter of Dahlia ..she had no father.. and was scorned for this.. in one scene she is tormented by her classmates and runs into a bathroom and is then molested by the schools janitor this not shown but IMPLIED. They think the child is wicked so they burn her.. she lives.. but eventually grows so much hatred (the devil i suppose) visits her to give her revenge on her tormenters. Thus silent hill is split into two 'realities' and so is Alessa split, into her evil half, and her good half.. which is sent to the outside world for protection as a baby.. Who Rose adopts -- SO Rose returns to the town and gets caught in the demensions..EVENTUALLY.. Alessa the bad gets her revenge on the townspeople , rose gets her daughter back.. but the ending is in the true style of the games where everything is unsure.. More from the director...I like the fact that this is where many dimensions intersect, and where you can exist on many planes. This fracturing between realities is reflected as a fracturing within a character. Characters can become multiple, like Mary and Maria in Silent Hill 2, and Alessa in SH1. Because this is such an abstract concept, this was the most challenging aspect of trying to adapt the game. The first game tells the amazing story of an adult woman who also exists as two little girls, good and bad doubles representing who she was when she was hurt. We are forced to realize in Silent Hill that we can be our own devil, our own God. This very Asian perception is so completely different to the Anglo/Christian concept of God and the Devil as separate beings.

*ALSO.. Alot of the story was taken from the
REAL LIFE STORY..of Centralia, Pennsylvania.
MORE ABOUT IT.

*Time Stands still in Alessa's Dimensions.
And that is why the cop never aged.
Silent Hill and the surrounding town of Brahms never change.

SILENT HILL ROCKED!!

Ok, I just got back over an hour ago.. from watching
SILENT HILL .. the movie.
O .. MY... GOD!!
As Peter from Family Guy would say..
"FRICKING SWEET!!"
Yes, peter. Fricking sweet!
The movie was everything I could have
imagined and more!!
It satisfied my desire to see scenes from the games.
It satisfied my gore/blood ratio.
Permit me to talk to you about that sometime.
It was creepy, chilling, gory, bloody.
and oh yes.. oh so fricking sweet.!
But..........
I do admit that non-fans of the games,
may not get this movie,
therefor I say .. so , so suck your toe!!!!
This movie was made for US THE FANS!!
NOT YOU PISS ANTS!!
SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT .. FUCK YOU!
Fans of the games will NOT be disappointed.
And if you are.. you suck major ****
(insert your own naughty word).
One of the BEST scenes is pyramid head
with the naked chick :)
See.. Piqued your interest did I? :)
IT FUCKING ROCKED!
The movie is FAR SUPERIOR to
the resident evil movies, in chilling terror and gore.
Sorry but I loved the RE movies with Milla
but I wanted LESS action and MORE gore!
The Silent Hill movie gave me everything
I wanted and more!
BLESS YOU SILENT HILL!!
May your fear never DIE!
Hell is real!

The Silent Hill series is one of the most
if not THE scariest franchises ever to come out.
Personally, I bought All four games,
and I am still working on SH 1.

I own them , I'll take as long as I like!
But if you have ever played these games,
late at night,
ALONE, with the sound turned up,
*shivers*.... we'll you know what I mean!
Talk about a mind trip!
Finally we the fans get our movie version.
And from the previews of the movie ,
it looks to be just as stunning as the games!
Thank god Uwe Boll was no where near this!!!
