Crash of the Titan
FILM FLAM
Clash of the Titans is f’n horrible. I almost walked out halfway through. The 3D adds nothing to the experience, the story is so unnecessarily mangled from the original (and by “original” I mean the Greek, not the 80’s film version) that even the plot is annoying, and the acting is wooden at best (sometimes literally, as one minor character is made of wood.) Even the CGI isn’t anything special. Overall, this makes the 80’s film look like high art.
Ride your Pegasus down to Dad’s Garage and see Clash Titan Clash instead (this is the final weekend of the show.) I saw Lucky Yates, star of Clash Titan Clash, at the movie so he may have a few new jokes in his performance as a result.
EAR PLUGS
Tongo Hiti at Trader Vic’s, Judi Chicago at Criminal Records, and the death of Degenerate Press:

Speaking of, tonight will be my grande finale, appropriately both Eric Lee and Tom Cheshire’s birthday, at the Star Bar for a mess o’ my favorite bands, and it’s a benefit to keep music programs in schools. How’s that for going out on top?
I’ll probably switch over to a personal Facebook profile soon if you care about me as a person rather than a music critic. Oh, and should I die on the operating table degenerates CD and DAC can probably handle my material possessions. CD, WW, RVI and DN all know what I want done with my body, if possible.
Thanks for 18 years of your attention, for the 2-3 of you that were there for the whole ride. See you in different venues!
