finished watching season 3 of slings & arrows about half an hour ago and had the strongest and most random urge to watch hard core logo again. and since I recently bought the DVD for like $6.50 from barnes and noble, I didn't even have to turn on my computer!

i started watching the hcl DVD and christ! the color is sooooo much better!!! I'm fucking ( Read more... )

Michael Scholar Jr. brings a new interpretation of Hard Core Logo to the stage. \o/

Here's a link to the 5-minute podcast from Plank Magazine about the project. The "in-progress viewing" that he talks about is happening today at the Banff Centre at 3pm. So anyone in the Banff/Calgary-area could theoretically make it now... I think? Calgary is ( Read more... )

So even though I was passed out on the couch at 9pm while watching the Pens vs. Isles game, I went back into the city at 10pm to make the Finntroll show with Liz. A twitter friend (who is full of AWESOME, btw) got us in for free! Which, also, was great, because they weren't worth paying $30 for, definitely. But they were worth two gin & tonics ( Read more... )

I saw Hugh Dillon's appearance on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos a while ago, but I saw the one from May 2007 (part 1|part 2) and didn't realize there were more!

So today I came across the episode from October 28, 2009 (part 1|part 2) where he's just as adorable as EVER, and hot and funny and cute and... talks about gun training a little, ( Read more... )

So it was already official that Bruce McDonald would be making HCL2. "But HOW?!" you ask, "with THAT ending?"

Read this. And this. Yes, CKR & HD both have small roles...

...and on a distantly related note, I didn't realize Durham County was airing in the US? According to a short-ish NY Times article from September 2009, it is...

A quick thing, before crashing...

So I started reading Hard Core Logo, the book by Michael Turner (on which the movie is based), this morning as I left the house. The format is more a collection of poetry and journal entries rather than in "novel" form. So I'd gotten more than halfway done with the book by the time I got to my desk at 9:30am. ( Read more... )

Watched HCL with Liz on Sunday night. She liked it a lot. Which made me very, very happy. After the movie, we watched some fanvids and interviews and things like that, I told her some of the stuff I know about CKR and HD from listening to the DVD commentary and reading HCRS, and eventually that sort of trailed off... at which point, she said ( Read more... )

SO many intelligently kick-ass metas about HCL. Even more so than missing the due South boat, this causes me to lament. SO MUCH to explore, here. I want to write fucking essays about this movie, with a level of interest that I was never really able to achieve in so many college classes. (And, of course, long after I've fallen out of practice in ( Read more... )

Hard Core Logo (1996). A documentary-style movie about a (fictitious) punk band that reunites for a short tour. Not comedy. Extremely awesome movie. Great music. CKR is super hot and Hugh Dillon is such a captivating fucking asshole you can't help liking him just as much as you hate him. I feel so sorry for poor Billiam; he shouldn't have ( Read more... )

CKR is so fucking HOT. WTF.
