While I'm still awake, I'll take this moment to mention that I downloaded the Holy Mountain soundtrack (apparently lifted directly from a VHS copy of the movie instead of the elusive LP, so it's not that great sounding). Several of the tracks sound eerily like tracks from Eyvind Kang's Theatre of Mineral NADES album - one of my all-time fave ( Read more... )

Shaping up to be a nice day. Sposed to go sailing with Cait and Podge this evening. I haven't been on a boat (not counting ferries) in a dog's age.

I watched both Cloverfield and I Am Legend yesterday. I hope a less lame fate befalls New York than the ones put forward in those two films. I liked Legend better of the two (remind me to add The Omega ( Read more... )

I noticed some similarities between films in today's Facebook "Top Movies in the Seattle, WA network" list.

1 Fight Club: about an office drone on a mission to find himself and goes schizo and commits crimes in the process.

2 Office Space: about an office drone on a mission to find himself and dedicates himself to slacking off and commits crimes ( Read more... )

In the last few days, I've watched the following:

The Vice Guide To Travel - entertaining, mostly. The segments in Pakistan were a trip, and David Cross and that other dude freaking out in China was pretty funny too.

Burn To Shine Vol. 5: Seattle - some of the performances were really good, some, not so much. It hasn't ceased to be weird for me ( Read more... )

I just got these from Netflix:

Bloody Sunday
and I still have Dead Man to watch, even though I've seen it before ( Read more... )

Yesterday I watched movies and made movies. Sorta. I went and saw X2. It was fun, kinda clunky in spots, and they didn't develop the characters enough, but it was still pretty neat. Then I walked around Ballard and the waterfront videotaping stuff for a proposed video collage that I will be doing with the ringleader of this event. later I met ( Read more... )

You can always count on channel 11 for the bestest moobies:

King Cobra (no stars): This rip off of Jaws and everything that came after features a giant rubber snake and a lot of bad acting. The scariest thing about this film is that it got made. Starring Pat Morita, Hoyt Axton, Scott Hildebrand, Courtney Gaines.
It also features Eric Estrada as a ( Read more... )

Watched Tekken and The 13th Warrior last night, the former being an unintentionally funny animated film based on the video game series; the latter being Antonio Banderas playing a Medeval Arab poet who takes up the sword alongside a band of Vikings to fight some Scandinavian cannibal cave-dwellers.

Phew. Long sentence.I keep telling myself to ( Read more... )

Wow, that was quite a to-do over that whole America question. I had to take a day off just to recover. I actually wrote out my own little essay on it, but upon further inspection, I concluded that it was shite. Maybe I'll revise it and put it up on Big Raoul's Writing Archive someday ( Read more... )
