Let's think of positive things...like Cannibal Sue!
Yesterday I saw The Cliks, a queer "girl" band from Toronto that I've been obsessing over for like a month. From their video on youtube I just knew they were a band made to appeal to my guilty pleasures and proud fetishes. To be honest, I wasn't all that impressed by their performance. Lucas, the lead singer, was much more charismatic and expressive in the music video, and in person, just didn't seem to be opening up. (Kudos to the director for that.) The mighty cute drummer was a bit sloppy, and overall, the performance didn't add much to the recordings. But I forgive them their weaknesses because they are a budding band on their first US tour. And they're way hot.
Today I got my piercings redone! Finally! ...So my piercings are at the state they were when I first came to MIT. Stupid hospital. Stupid head scans. Stupid life-saving magnets.
Also, I went and saw the dumbest funnest best movie. The Beach Party at The Threshold of Hell!!!! It's like...it's like...Six-String Samurai meets Grindhouse* with a big dash of self-deprecating humour. For an indie film it certainly has enough big name actors and shiny visuals. Seriously, they pulled off the look perfectly. The narrative is actually very intelligently structured, and there's a lot of "subtle" clever commentary going on about US history and politics, current and past. And robots! Oh those hilarious robots! And Cannibal Sue ("Christian name: Cannibal Susan") is just adorable. See if it's screening in a theatre Near You!
*Which I saw last week and greatly enjoyed for many of the same reasons. But I think I enjoyed The Beach Party blahblahblah more, because it was less concerned with being pretentiously over-the-top and making a statement about a "lost genre" and more with just having fun and making a fun movie.
