Clicky for HD wonder!

So, "Sleep Now, Quiet Forest" by local favorites Todesbonden is pretty much the best thing ever and should be required listening for every living thing.

Go buy it now.

mini-reviews [29 Jun 2008|10:14pm]

[ music | Nick Cave - "Cabin Fever" ]



I'm not a huge Pixar fan, but I thought Wall-E was not only the best animated film I've ever seen, but also the best sci-fi film I've seen in years. Charming in every way, I loved every second of it.




It's pretty ironic...Wanted ends with a character reflecting on who he was, what he has become, and then actually addressing the audience saying "What the fuck have you done today?"

Well, I just spent the past couple hours watching a ridiculous if fun escapist action movie. I'm not quite sure if I'm amused or annoyed by the hypocrisy of an escapist-action flick calling me out for my lazy, escapist-action flick watching ways...but as far as stuff-goes-boom action movies go, you could do worse than Wanted.

Mother of Tears [07 Jun 2008|02:29am]
[ mood | blah ]
[ music | Leonard Cohen - 'The Future" ]

Surprising perhaps, but my short review of the new Argento film Mother of Tears.

It's the funniest movie of the summer.

Seriously, people were nearly rolling in the isles. It's either complete genius or utter crap, I have no idea which.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds...10/05...@ The 9:30 Club.

I saw them once before on their last US tour (about 6 years ago?) in NYC. They were great of course, but the venue was seated and I was a bit to far back for my tastes. So I've been waiting for them to come back to the 9:30 Club so I can get there super early and nab a front & center spot for the show.

YAY!

Marvel movies [05 May 2008|12:27pm]
[ mood | geeky ]

Did you see Iron Man this weekend? Did you stay till the end of the credits? Cause that's where the best part of the movie is ;-)

Just announced...Marvel movies on slate:

The Incredible Hulk - 6/13/08
Punisher: War Zone - 12/5/08
Wolverine - 5/1/09
Iron Man 2 - 4/30/2010
Thor - 6/4/2010
Captain America - 5/6/2011
The Avengers - July 2011

That's right...The Avengers is coming! There's also an Ant-Man movie in the works, but really, who cares about Ant-Man?

I love how LOST is always "good"... then it goes on a hiatus... then it returns, slams me against the wall, and rips my throat out.

Hillary [07 Mar 2008|10:06am]
[ mood | angry ]

I am really, really starting to hate Hillary Clinton and her apparent eagerness to destroy her party in her mission for personal success.

Seriously, the McCain campaign should hire her as their PR spokesman, what with all the praise she's lavished on the man at Obama's expense. Guess what Hil, if you run an "experience" campaign against McCain you WILL lose.

Obama needs to get his hands a little dirty and hit her back...enough of this "without violating the positive, uplifting spirit at the core of his message" crap. I want to see every Obama adviser, pundit and campaign spokesman refer to Clinton as "McCain's new press secretary" from now on.

hook me up [25 Feb 2008|12:43pm]
[ mood | contemplative ]
[ music | Rufus Wainwright - "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" ]

So I think I need a girlfriend...if only to change things up for a while. My gut says I'm fine the way I am, but my brain says it would probably do me good.

But the problem is I never seem to meet anyone new. It always seems to be mostly the same folks at the club nights (or, at least temporarily, club NIGHT) I go to.

And if this weekend proved anything it's that going to any of my friends' parties is like drowning in a sea of couples, and increasingly married couples.

Add this to the fact that most everyone I've ever "met" online turned out to be bat-shit insane and...well...I've pretty much surrendered the search for the past few years.

So, while I approach the idea of casual dating with some trepidation and the idea of blind dating with something akin to abject terror, if anyone out there has any single, female friends who you think could potentially be a good match...well hook me up ;-)

So I'm moving this week.

Got me a place 2.3 miles from work.

Anyone available for a couple hours on Saturday to help me get the big stuff out the door? It would be much appreciated...let me know soon.

Thanks.
