Because I can't stop talking about myself. I'm not gonna post the rules again, though, so if you want me to ask you some, go back to my last post, I ain't got all day.

Ha ha, no, seriously, I do have all day, but I'm still not posting the rules again.

( It's all about me, me, me )

Sea Change is amazing.

See, you know what? That's an almost universal consensus, but I didn't like it that much. I mean, it's okay -- I bought it and everything, as I have every Beck record, and there's a few good songs on it, but I guess I just like crazy eclectic nut Beck more than I like significant meaningful emotional Beck. I feel like I can get that better from other performers, but nobody does weird like Beck.

Once when I lived here the first time I was walking into work at my job at the plasma donation center and I saw a guy in the parking lot wearing a T shirt that said, on one side "Down with Limp Bizket" and on the other it had the words "Limp Bizket" (or is it "Bizkit"...?...I guess it doesn't matter...) inside one of those NO symbols, you know, the red circle with the line through it. I wanted to stop him and ask him to trade shirts with me right there in the parking lot.

Ever read anything by Hans Bemmann?

ludickid February 22 2007, 15:15:13 UTC

I never have! Who is he, what's he written, and why should I read him?

He's a German author who has had two very, very underrated books translated into English. The Broken Goddess is like a version of If On A Winter's Night A Traveler that I don't hate. The Stone and the Flute is...hard to describe. It's kind of an antidote to all the fantasy books about Heroes Foreordained By Fate and so on.

Ah, interesting. I've not seen The Limey. That mistake will be shortly corrected. See, I don't think I could narrow it down that close. I'd make it a toss up between Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast, Mel Gibson in Payback, Chow Yun Fat in Hardboiled, and you just can't leave out Lee Marvin in every movie he's ever been in. Except Paint Your Wagon. Leave that one out.

If Mel Gibson in Payback is one of your favorite movie tough guys, I urge you to go rent Point Blank this very instant. Your man Lee Marvin manages to be 10x as hardcore as Gibson, all without a single moving close-up of his oh-so-tense face.

It is currently number two on my netflix queue. I expect it to arrive tomorrow.

I wouldn't go so far as to call Mel my favorite movie tough guy, but damn, the dude had his toes smashed with a hammer and still had the presence of mind to trick the bad guys into blowing themselves up after using his bare hands to tear his way from the trunk through the back seat of a car.

I don't care if you are an aging pensive faced drunk antisemite, that deserves some cred.

Chicago building: the Cabaret Metro. It's the cultural center of the city, and it always smells like urine. I think that makes an important statement.

Baddest motherfucker: Avery Brooks "Hawk" from the Spenser: For Hire TV series. In the pilot of Star Trek: Deep Space 9, I really wanted to hear him say "Why is it always the black man's ship that gets destroyed? Son of a bitch must pay!"
