How Do I upload Video?

So I have a few pictures I want to post that I have to shrink. I took a video with my camera just to test it out on (e:strip) and when I go to upload it it shows as a picture on the file but when I open it up (e:strip) doesn't see it. It plays on Windows Media Player and the file type ends in .avi . I'm wondering if anyone knows how I post it here. I don't have a Youtube account.
metalpeter - 10/04/09 13:33
Maybe I will try YouTube then not sure how big the video is but it is only about 2 minutes.
tinypliny - 10/04/09 13:24
Hey (e:metalpeterrrrr)rrrrrr! Youtube is your best bet. You can set up an account in 20 seconds flat (assuming you haven't forgotten the password to your email account ;-)). Youtube pretty much accepts all format and variable lengths/sizes.

I have uploaded .flv and .swf videos to (e:strip) before - using the same upload button as the photos. They need to be under 5 MBs (or something close, I don't remember exactly). This is a tough size for videos more than a few minutes long.

Changing West side
Category: buffalo
So this Morning I had to get some Cat Food. Let me explain. It is my sis's cat but with her baby now the cat would try to get out and it was just a bit to much, the cat is pretty spoiled and craves lots of attention and adventure. So the cat moved into the mothers house, but that isn't why I wrote this.

So I'm barley awake and walk down to Connecticut st. Now for those who know that Area there have been a lot of Changes. They used to Have the Italian Festival over there and once it moved to Hertel it did come back for one year. Years ago I guess there where a lot of of fires (not sure if I was alive then or not) known as Italian Lightning. But ever since I was very young there was this mural on a side of this building, it was a landmark. It was dark I was coming home from a show (later in life) from the showplace you say that mark and knew where you where. Well it is almost gone.

It was early and I didn't feel like roaming around Near the college so this is all I got.

Jenifer's Body
Category: movies
So I will be the first to admit I'm not a big Horror fan. But there are some movies I do like. Vampire movies are not horror movies but to me are like a different Genre. Yes some of them could be like 30 Days of Night. Or maybe they are a Genre like how you have Zombie movies and End of the world movies like 28 days and 28 weeks.

Yes I think Megan Fox is hot. Yes her body is amazing and she has some ink. But look at that great face and lovely eyes and nice Jet Black Hair and kinda tan skin. But she isn't the only reason I liked it.

With out giving anything away: I like the way the story was told. Yes there is a story it isn't all Just Gore. I like the action scenes. I like the acting. One thing that helped is there was some killer music in the movie that you could rock out to, it at least fit in the movie well. I also liked that the movie ended during the end credits I can't believe some people left. It wasn't like the credit rolled and then you got an ending later. Maybe they just didn't like the movie most of the people waited till the credit rolled in black to leave. Maybe Diablo Cody being part of the movie helped, I know she wrote it but don't know if she had anything to do with the making of the movie.

In terms of Preview stuff: Ninja Assassin Looks really good , they don't say it is but I think it is based on an Anime (I think I have it on Tape). They had a piece on where the wild things are. Even though it is so much of a chick movie I can't help it I want to see "whip It", part of the movie is about Roller Derby, and it has Ellen Page (juno) and Drew Berrymore Directs so it should be pretty good. Oh on a side note it is banked not flat track Roller Derby. I saw a poster for A Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D. That I have to go see.


jason - 09/21/09 20:56
I like Helen Mirren. She doesn't give a shit about eating a burger.
metalpeter - 09/21/09 19:41
I just wish I was the guy who got to but the Body Paint On Rebeca , she was so hot as she all ways is. But I could count her in the big group of actors who are in big time movies who always look and sound the same. Yes DeNiro was amazing in stardust. But to me that was all about the character he still kinda sounded like him.

Most people think Denzel is amazing. I have seen what I thought where great performances like in Malcolm X. But all his acting is kinda like that. Jim Carey is an over actor for sure, but his stuff is funny. Even when he does serious stuff ( I give him credit for trying it) He still comes off as Jim Carey.

In Terms of the actors you Mention I've heard the names but don't now much of their work. Jennifer Garner I haven't seen much of. Gillian Anderson I have all ways liked but have only seen her X-Files stuff.

The Point I was trying to make is that there are some great actors out there who can make you believe (most of them come from the theatre back ground) they are someone they aren't . They know how to sound like a brit and walk like a brit and be a brit. But then if they do some war movie they can make you think they are french or a Nazi. But the thing is that in "Hollywood" once you make it big and are a star, you just act as your self. Since that is what everyone does than Megan Fox is at the same level as everyone else. She nor Wesly snipes nor most leading actors are going to be asked To dance to some old Jazz music and talk Cajun and be convicing.

tinypliny - 09/21/09 18:56
So, (e:metalpeter), nice countering but who says Denzel Washington is a good actor? (Well, I am aware many do, but that legion does not include me.) I don't like the others you listed as well (and Jim Carrey and a dozen others who are pretty much the same all the time)

What do you think of these actors:
-- Billy Crudup
-- Gillian Anderson
-- Joseph Gordon-Levitt
-- Jennifer Garner
-- Rufus Sewell
-- Ryan Gosling
-- Helen Mirren
-- John Simm
-- Gael García Bernal

DeNiro had an interesting part in Stardust - that was very much "unlike" him.

The example you give for Megan Fox needs to be more convincing because it sounds the same as saying that Rebecca Romijn (Mystique) in X-Men was a great actress because she was unrecognizable in that blue bodysuit.

metalpeter - 09/21/09 18:14
First of all she Isn't a porn star. In the 3 movies I've seen her in there was no real nudity. Yes she unzipped her top but they didn't show her boobs they then go down to her legs, and well of course nothing in transformers There is one scene where you see her ass swimming but that is about it.

In Terms of acting she acts just as well as any Hollywood actor. Most actors all they do is replay them selves in every movie, or at least once they are stars. As great as everyone thinks Denzel Washington is, he does that dramatic style in every movie, you want a movie where the guy sounds like that you get him. If you want someone who is weird and Crazy you Get Jeff Goldblum, If you want just nuts then Jack Niclohson is your man. Sam Jackson is one of my favorite actors and he is the same way, when he started out he wasn't. Everyone Says DeNiro is great but he talks and walks the same in every movie. So most of the time acting is just if you like how a person talks and acts. Most people in movies talk in interviews the same way they do in movies and have all the same expressions, there are exceptions but for the most part it is true.

That being TV and Movies are Different so this doesn't apply as much to TV. Perfect example is Kiefer Sutherland. I have seen him cry and then be on the other extreme end and it works. Facial acting is much more important on TV. In Terms of in Wrestling it is a big part of the act.

Now On to Megan Fox Herself. She did show some emotions and in this movie they where believable now when she was in "monster form" I'll call it, you could tell. She looked like a different person but that could have been set up by how they filmed it or it could have been her it is hard to tell.
tinypliny - 09/19/09 20:31
Megan Fox is pr0n$tar.

Give me at least one example of a scene or even a BIT of a scene where she is actually showing off any kind of acting skill and not her body. I am not going to believe she actually is an actress unless I see proof.

Movies and lost post (reading found)
Category: entertainment
So Yesterday was an interesting day. It started out with a nice Hot shower. Now to most people showers are quick and over in like 5 minutes, well unless they are with someone else, then they end in 3 minutes, HA. But not for me I have to enjoy it and make sure I'm clean. I don't like to take them but once I'm in I'm good. Part of that is since it is relaxing you mind goes other places, you just can't help it. Again this assumes you don't have a cutie pie in their with ya. But Yesterday I had all these great thoughts and I lost them It was going to be an interesting Blog. The only thing I can really remember is that it was about Baths Vs. Showers and can't remember where that lead me. I do remember this though that the problem with Baths is that you sit in your own dirty water. What about Bubble Baths and candles yeah that is all nice and romantic and stuff but when you are done how do you get all the bubbles off, and again if not alone I'm sure there is all sorts of other things you have to clean off, HA. I was also thinking I need to play around with my Camera and see about video and seeing if I can make one and download it and upload it. If I did it from the shower that would be cool. Of course from shoulders up. If I was a chick everyone would be hoping the camera slipped and they saw lots of great stuff and then they would hope it lands in the water and does and up shot for all the talking. But being a guy everyone would look away and Hope that doesn't Happen.

I just remembered what my post was going to be about, this won't be as good as what was in my head but it will have to do. I Have read on line from some of you guys that Reading Rainbow has been canceled and that is to bad. I think it is very important that kids be taught that reading is fun. I think the way that happens is to be read to first.

In My case when I was in school reading often seemed like a chore. What I mean was it was something you had to do for class. You didn't get to pick what you wanted to read. Plus most classes other then like math you need to read for. Hey maybe I'm just more of a visual person. The thing is reading should be fun and kids shouldn't be brought up on only movies and TV. Reading early helps with spelling and having a good vocabulary.

When I was a kid a read "Where the Wild things are" hey most kids if they didn't it was read to them. I don't remember much of it, but I'm so going to see the movie. Some might think this turning books into movies is a new thing but it isn't at all, it has been going on for a long time. The first example in terms of time that I know of is James Bond. I never read any of the stories or books but love all the movies. I admit I haven't seen really any of the old ones and don't remember much from the ones I saw as a kid. But what I can say is that if no one ever wrote them then we wouldn't have the movies.

Some other examples that come to Mind are things like "Puff The Magic Dragon", Harold and the Purple Caryon and there where a bunch of other kids books that got turned into animated movies. I wonder though if getting someone to watch the movies can get them to read the book, I think it can. In fact what often happens now is when a movie comes out based on a book they put a picture from the movie on the book cover. The other thing that happens is they often come out with a new book, and that book is the movie version of that book.

One Can't forget about Comic Books. Visually they are great and often they appeal to kids who normally wouldn't want to read like a book. I think as first reading they are a bad idea. Yes they do teach that you need to follow order. If you read the panels wrong the story makes no sense. Yes it gives people a sense of waiting and not instant gratification. You buy a book one month read the story then next month get the next issue. Of course some people buy a bunch of issues at once just like how some people wait for a TV show to come out on DVD so they can see it all at once with out the wait. But the downside is that they are so visual compared to how much writing there is that it can teach to read in short amounts and that the art work is the most important aspect. Comics are now a great source for movie companies to get material from.

I really like TrueBlood and think it is a great show. But the only reason it became a show is because the books where good or sold a lot of copies. So what I'm saying is that if people only watch TV and movies and don't read then there will be a lot of great shows and movies that never happen. But that isn't reason enough. Also if people don't read then you also won't have people writing anything either.

Again I'm sure this sounded much better in my head then on this blog.

So (If anyone is still here) after my shower yesterday I went downtown to buy Sabres Tickets. I knew there where 5 games I wanted to go to, so I wound up getting a mini pack. I just wish I would have got them sooner so I would have been closer but I think my seat worked out good. But there is still this other part of me that goes well I could have used the money this way or that way but I will have a great time. First game turns out is on Sweetest day (now if I could only blow myself I could be my own date, HA), and just to be clear I only got one ticket so I don't have any extras.

Next I was off to go see 9. I liked it. But I thought it was going to be more. It also seemed very short. After that I saw Surrogates. Wow what a great movie. First of all Bruce Willis so it is one of his style of movies and they are all ways fun. Then there is that Sci-Fi thing so it has the sci-fi message about robots and them not being the same as humans. Yes it felt like an animee like how irobot did. So it was a good sci-fi movie with a story and great action and a twist not sure how many or what one would count but I give it two thumbs up.
metalpeter - 09/26/09 15:00
I can admit I didn't think that people thought they felt cleaner taking a bath vs. Shower in fact that is something I never thought of for either one, but that is a big factor. In Terms of the time element that is very true I forgot about the fact that in a bath making sure it is very clean is very important. Generally a bath is supposed to be more relaxing, there are some people who read in them. I have even heard rumors of drinking things like coffee. Of course that is one thing you wouldn't want to spill, would Tea be worse since I've heard it stains things. I hope to hear more imput on this post, we shall see what happens.
libertad - 09/26/09 13:14
I like to take baths. I feel cleaner after a bath than a shower. When I take a bath, I don't even use soap usually just sprinkle in some baking soda and a splash of vinegar because they are conditioners. I haven't had a bath in a while though because they are kind of time consuming, especially cause I feel the need to scrub out the tub before hand.

(NSFW) Actresses I like
Category: entertainment
Yes There Will be Nudity (not me or any men for that Matter) In this blog so if you are reading it at work or some place don't read it now.

It is tough to believe that it will be my Birthday in 3 months from Today. Or as I call it The Eve of Christmas Eve. Now the other day I was talking about acting and there are some actresses I like for what ever reason I like them. And here are some of them

Jill Wagner: You might know her from Car Ads or even Wipeout but what I first saw her in was Blade yes the TV Series and she was pretty good in that and makes a good host now.



image

image

There Is this show that is no Longer On called Pushing Daisies. I thought this was a great show I really did. Olive was a great character and I know I have heard Kristen do some voice work but not sure in what movie it was. Yes she is hot but she also does a good job doing what she is asked to do acting wise.



image

image

image

I'm a fan of X-men and the movies and Rogue was pretty hot Anna is now on a show that I love True Blood. She seems to have no problem with nudity at all now oh yeah.



image

image

image

Now it isn't a post unless a do a little bit of Porn. Jenna Jameson Has crossed over and done non porn roles and pulls it off pretty good, sorry I can't remember what I saw her in.


image

image

image

One Actress who I think gets over looked is Joey Lauren Adams. Maybe it is just that I'm a Kevin Smith fan. But I'm still not sure why that scene where it is Raining in Chasing Amy didn't get any award nominations she acted her ass off.


image

image

I Love Heroes and think that it is in the top five TV shows on currently. It doesn't Hurt that Hayden is pretty hot. This is not the first time she has played a Cheerleader either from what I understand.





image

I'm really Not sure if the first movie I saw her in was Tomb Raider or not but she sure is hot and I really thought she was Great in Beowoulf and Wanted.

image

image

image

image

Some of you might remember a Show named Dark Angel from some time ago. That is where I first saw Jessica Alba. I thought she was very good in that and great In Sin City.



image

image

Olive Wilde I'm a big fan off. I first liked her in the Show Skin, next was The O.C. , The Black Donnoly's (followed Heroes) and most recently house. Is she hot Yes. Did she have Different looks yes. but each character seems different but yet it is also still her.



image

image

image

Kate Beckinsale is an interesting example of someone I like based on her role. She was amazing in both Van Helsing and the Under World movies but that is all I know her from, that Genre is perfect for her I think.



image

image

image

image

image

So If you like Parody movies and some of them can get pretty bad sometimes then one person other then Carmen Electra who shows up in a lot of them is Anna Farris . I like that she can make fun of her self and I did see her in something that wasn't a spoof and she did as good of a Job as she was asked to do.



image

image

image

image

Carmen Electra is fun to watch and look at for sure. Not sure if she can act or not but she is able to do what she is asked to do and she is able to make fun of herself as well and does a great Job in those spoof movies. By the way Scary Movie is Based of Scream I have heard they are working on a new Screem Movie.



image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

There are so many actresses that I like. A lot of it though is based on who they play like I loved Kim Bauer on 24. Then there is Toni Colet (that isn't right from the L word I think and Most recently very good on United States of Tera)

The Last person I will Feature in Pictures is Katey Segal. She was great on Married With Children. I think she did a voice on futurerama and now she is On Sons Of Anarchy. I wish I could list everyone I like but often they are people I know by face like hey that chick was awesome on Homicide and things like that.

This Blog is Plenty Long enough so that is a good place to end it.
metalpeter - 09/25/09 11:06
In Terms of Anna I liked her first in the X-Men movie I think that was a great look for her I really do. Then in Trueblood she does a pretty good job I think and she does nude scenes so that does it for me.

In terms of Jeanna She has been In a lot of Movies and I Assume magazines as well, I'm not sure if she was in any of the ones I wound up getting or not but there is a good chance she was in some of those books. Now I want to go look for more pictures of her. who knows maybe I will do a part 2 of this blog.
paul - 09/25/09 01:42
I love Sookie but actually I don't find her that pretty. I mean she is cute and has a nice body but I don't find her as hot as some other women in your list. Is Jenna from the magazine you got at my porn giveaway party, lol?
