Man, I just had a really messed up nightmare. Everyone I knew in it was sick, deformed and on drugs. Friends, family members. Everything resembled the sets of the most frightening film scnenes I can think of. And there was a rat ( Read more... )

I tried to catch Jeff Goldblum's part in this movie. If you blink you miss it. He's on a phone at the sleezy LA party, in a panic saying, "Hello? I forgot my Mantra."

He forgot his mantra!!

So excited from Vicky Cristina Barcelona this weekend. Casandra's Dream was a bit of a snooze, but something tells me that old Woody is bouncing back.

I've been wanting to go to the US. I've been thinking about it a lot. And not New York City, but real America like, I don't know, Chicago, Boston, or some place in the South.

I feel like I've got some major Fielding Mellish-isms going on in my life right now. Except! I don't have reoccuring dreams of being parallel parked in a crucifix and I don't get accosted by Sylvester Stalone in the subway. But I do have troubles. And I do rule a small, Latin American country.

Seeing Thee Silver Mount Zion was pretty decent. They were loud as hell in the hot and stuffy club. Afterwords we went to some bar to sit down and ended up closing the place, the three of us.

I was still in highschool the last time I saw this. While still not as brilliant as I remember it, it's still damn good, and now I get all the literary references (though there aren't many). I wanted to see this one again because it was shot in a documentary/pre-steady cam french new wave style. There are longer takes, the camera whips around to ( Read more... )

I'll always be the last person in the world to throw Woody Allen under the bus but I have to admit, this wasn't very good. The story was a little weak and the direction was lazy. There was visually nothing going on. It's surprising to see a veteran like Allen have such disregard for the image. The cinematography was boring with bad TV lighting. The ( Read more... )

The shitty VHS copy I bought back when I worked at now-defunct Alpha Video ( Read more... )

vWhat the hell am I doing in Canada? Lori, they got moose up here. Moose. Are moose carnivorous?

Pretty good band practice tonight. Almost makes up for the colossal letdown of the municipal election results. I don't even want to talk about it.

I feel like never voting for anything ever again.
