the blog hibernation is over! i'm back
let me start off with a wrap of the last blog entry dated 5/19. Spiderman was a very bubble gum, eye candy, FX laden summer flick. Are you like me and get freaked when you see a grown up Kirsten Dunst? I mean she was lke 10 when she made
Interview with the Vampire? And now she's all grown up, wet ( i mean in that scene in the movie you pervert!) and super duper spider sense is tingling HOT! It's sorta like watching Eliza Dusku in True Lies. She played Ah-nuld's daughter, a grungy Nirvana-ish rebellious 14 yr old teenager and then she got super Buffiliciously HOT as well. Weird. Stuff is just weird.
Anyway back on to the freshly squeezed blog for your reading pleasure.
I've just got a digital camera that kicks major ass. The
Canon Powershot A40 rocks. I'll be posting random pics of stuff I find interesting. Trust me. You won't be disappointed.
Self interest leftover thought. go get some freakin horror movies you sicko!
now back to our regularly scheduled program.
Pick of the Week
I've just discovered Teen NBC for PUNK ROCK kids!
on the now defunct DEN.com was a Internet show called
Fear of a Punk Planet (reference to a Vandals song for you non punkers).
It starred Jennifer Kwan (she was in TNBC's California Dreams) [not like i watched this show] and Joe Escalante of the Vandals. The funny part of the show was how 4 of the main stars all repesented the fuckin United Nation genres of punk rock. Jennie was the pop punk girl (MXPX, Blink 182,etc.) you had the hardcore kid (Sick of it All, etc.) the skater kid (NOFX, Pennywise [kid was infatuated with Pennywise]) and the crusty girl (Hatebreed, Clash, y'know real punk rock). Funny stuff. Real surreal. The first couple of episodes have them trying to save their club (The Baby Seal?!) from the local authorities. The best parts come from the real show that becomes the "show" they are putting on in the tv show. Got that? So you see real live footage of NOFX, The Ataris, Bouncing Souls, etc. Good stuff. Real hidden gem. Not a lot of punk rock tv shows out there.
Netflix's gonna screw me again rant of the week
Well if i lose one more DVD on
netflix i'm out. i mean they are gonna boot me out of the club. i've lost ( and i mean seriously lost) shit on netflix. i have insane postal workers in my neighborhood. more on that tomorrow.
But here are a couple of flicks i've recently watched courtesy of netflix that i found were worth my time.
1.)
Habit
Great vampire (or is she?) flick. Local NYC director Larry Fessenden is pretty creepy in this. Very spooky.
2.)
Perdita Durango
Rosie Perez stars as the title character in a different take on the David Lynch's Wild at Heart story. Awesome flick. Perez is really good in this. Javier Bardem plays her crazy Mexican sidekick. James Gandolfini plays a cop chasin em from Mexico to Las Vegas. Director Alex De La Iglesia does a super duper job. Also check out
Day of the Beast by him as well.
That's all for now. This will be updated everyday even though I may have nothing to report.
A couple of things to add. I just came back from a Mets loss to the freakin Royals, 5-1. How pathetic. More on that tomorrow. Plus I just saw Wild on E : Philippines Edition. I've got some beef about this.
