its a cold, cold world out there…
amazing movie. solid all around. this movie has nothing extra. no fluff. its pure content.
the characters are original, the plot doesnt relate to a formula, and the topics follow no stereotypes. kick ass. its about regular people, put in irregular situations.
linus likes the trains. he always likes the trains. and this movie has a lot of them. train buffs rejoice, you have a theme movie to watch on popcorn night.
so. i have watched more than a few movies in the past couple of days. six to be exact. most were good. a couple were damn good. but one stood out from the rest. its name is, “dummy”.
milla jovovich is garage punk slut and she is awesome. this is real acting. anything other than beautiful for milla is work. hard work.
adenosine tri-phospate. a small japanese band hiding in shinjuku. the music is foreign. you wonder if you should turn it off. then a song or two melds with an american ear. all is good.
in a world of sit-com crap, brit-com rules. black adder is a britcom series starring rowan atkinson. “black adder 1″ is classic limp-wristed, lukewarm, greasy rowan. “black adder 2″ is better. “black adder 3″ is the best of the 3 seasons i have seen. the writing excellent, the political humor outrageous, and the humor dry as sand.
just my style.
still another japanese import by way of disney. this movie is beautiful. there is a back-story, and a plot. a rare thing these days. this is on the same level as spirited away.
a detailed post-steampunk, dirigible-tech universe. no computers here. an obsession with flight, architecture, and the bones of both. bare airplane wings, robot bones, a city as an empty tomb, abandoned mines as living earth. all are stripped to show the underlying skeleton and form. parallels to da vinci and china mieville’s perdido street station.
made in japan, redubbed in english by disney. linus approves. for adults this lacks depth, both visual and storyline. japanese animation cannot do caucasian faces. the characters think like paper dolls. most developed actor? the cat.
worth seeing to scope janeane garofalo in the extras. rowr.
rammstein. what more to say? rammstein is itself. 1998 concert dvd in berlin. cold rage and real energy. i relate to it well. linus liked it for couch-jumping. then he was bored and played elsewhere. not bad for a 3 year old. i watched again. excellent audio engineering. the video quality is good. pyro action abounds.
rammstein is simple. distill it down to power chords and more powerful lyrics. a virtuoso gets lost in the details. rammstein has none. the forest is the trees. rammstein polarizes. hate, condemn, love, idolize. myself, i identify. probably too much. this is dangerous to have in the house. migrate to black clothes. put the piercings back in.
from my new vantage point, i realize that love is nothing more than a messy conglomeration of need, desperation, the fear of death and insecurity about penis size.
but i’m not judging it, i know how miserable it is to be alive.

the movie that started it all! i got this dvd a couple of years ago and watched it regularly. think mad max, elvis, wolfman jack, crazy russians, good surf music, and “kick-ass choppity chop swordplay”.
my 3 year old got ahold of the disc and watches it (along with ghost in the shell) every few days. he calls it “jack”, which is his generic term for any chop-socky movie that lines up with his obsession with the “samurai jack” cartoon. then he discovered the red elvises music videos on the dvd, now he is wearing grooves in the thing.
the star, jeffrey falcon is very popular overseas with 17 asian flicks under his belt and pals like stanley tong and jackie chan. he really should be picked up by tarantino.
the red elvises kick ass! also discovered while watching the “six-string samurai” movie. this is what life should be like - find a niche, do your thing, and have fun! much of their music can be downloaded from their website.
