After a long Live Journal hiatus (which in my absence has apparently seen new, but not necessarily improved changes), it only took a craptastic butchering of a beloved franchise to bring me out of hiding.  But unlike Howard Hughes, I was able to type this just fine even as an LJ hermit, because I didn't let my fingernails grow absurdly long in the ( Read more... )

Why is every other fucking music video filmed in some faux-artsy slo-mo?  Ooh, it's slowed down, but the music's in real time.  Enough of that shit already.  Fuckin' Smash Mouth even did it.

And why is that guy in the "You're Beautiful" video (another slo-mo ( Read more... )

I miss the phrase "drop a dime" when someone makes a phonecall from a payphone. There aren't many payphones anymore, and most of them don't work (cellphone conspiracy theory). Plus, phonecalls went from a dime in the '80's, to a quarter, then some places .35 for awhile, then 50 cents, ouch. So if you overdub old movies that use the classic ( Read more... )

I'm going to see the Black Crowes (only my favorite living, touring band) TWICE this weekend, in Saratoga Springs and Atlantic City.  Yvonne is coming, which is cool, and she digs 'em, too.  And my h.s. buddy Paul as well, who is the chauffeur, and fellow Crowes nut.  Their setlist was unreal, so I assume there will be some surprises at least at ( Read more... )

Stevie, Stevie, Stevie. I don't usually have big problems with Spielberg's work, esp. his last several (except The Terminal, which I haven't seen). Minority Report (his best recent one), A.I. (I don't care what anyone says, this is underrated), and Catch Me If You Can (a bit long and I hate Leo, but it was good).

Bore of the Worlds, I mean, War of ( Read more... )
