jackIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE chAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOween wIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLsoNNNNNN!!!

although the constant historical references could be annoying (charlie chaplin? you don’t say! sherlock holmes? fascinating! knighting authur conan doyle and calling him arty? well i’ll be!) the fight scenes were sweet! jackie chan i love you! i can’t even begin to list all the cool kicking and punching and absurd background music, but some of my faves are: the umbrella fight scene and the umbrella dance to the music from singing in the rain with the cute little poses. and the sword fighting one and the hotel revolving door one. and the dunking owen wilson in the water one. and the chinese actress playing his sister kicked some fine booty too.

mindless (seriously) action movie. fun if you like either of the main two actors. or if your brain is the size of a turkey’s. and the evil english guy is hot! (i throw that in there as a girl and as a bone to girls who are dragged to this movie by boys.)

this movie was kind of not what i was expecting. having seen the trailers, read the book, and been very, very excited i was a little let-down by george clooney’s directorial ambitions. he’s not a very good editor. basically the thing that was wrong with this movie was the little snippet conversations with the “real” people. totally unecessary. it was obvious that he was trying to provide the movie with validity as the opening little announcement of, “this movie is based on the true journals and tapes and so on of chuck barris” kick-started the whole debacle. but it didn’t need to be pummeled like that. the “interview” scenes did nothing to advance the overall production value. they were just wasted space.

on the other hand, sam rockwell was amazing. and good old george’s death scene was visually mesmerizing though also slightly mystifying. and completely at odds with how byrd dies in the book. which leads me to the other point. the diversions from barris’ own autobiography were astounding. now i know that he wrote more books and that they could have been drawing on other sources of information that i know nothing about but still. STILL. so many things completely different. fucking amazing.

but it’s good. it’s interesting. i’d really recommend the book too though because it was a fantastic read.

this movie is basically silly fluff. but the flashy costumes are nice. and the singing and dancing. and the pornography film-making. but heather graham cannot act. do not be deceived by her sexy body. she is a horrible actress. HORRIBLE. i cannot stress this enough.

one of the nice transitions in the movie went from when ramu is leaving india and arrives in america. india=color, life, elephants in the street! new york=really, really grey. it was a good juxtaposition. it was really the only interesting facet to the cinematography.

it could have used more singing. it could have used more dancing. but what are you going to do. it was still fun. and funny. even without the dancing indian turkeys.

i find it vaguely amusing how i’m running out of things to say. i mean sometimes there’s action and drama! and then other times i’m at a complete loss so i dredge up embarressing middle school stories or something. and that’s just plain stupid. why do i feel this driving compunction to post once a day even when i have absolute shit to say? weblogs are tricky things, my friends. full of tribulation and the beating of the women. i’m coming up on having been blogging for a year soon. and that’s a long time. not as long as some people have been doing it (ian) but still.

last night i went on a “date” with the cockless-tease-wonder. but honestly i am over that and really very happy for how happy she is with her living with the boyfriend and getting a puppy and rushing home to the “family” to see how the new baby is doing. it’s all very cute.

there’s this thing like the aidswalk only it’s a hip-hop party which involves no walking. is anyone interested? it could be fun. Move Against Aids.

once i broke into c. miller’s car. which was actually not locked so it wasn’t a big deal. and it was sitting in front of my house at the time so i didn’t feel too burglerish. however looking back now i do feel like a huge dork. because what was i doing in his car? i was attempting to cast a love spell using roses and incantation charms. oh yes. you think i’m lying. but really, really not. i was even dressed up in a new age-y caftan. and then i did a little dance under the moon paying special attention to feeling the new spring growth coming out of the dirt between my bare toes in order to properly infuse the spell with earth fertility magic.

i thought of this last night when i was trying to fall asleep and i could smell the dirt outside my window and it smelled so fresh and all waking up from winter and wet and happy mulching. and i missed, all of a sudden, the stupid things i used to do and all those books i used to own.

my point here is: valentine’s is coming up and you’d all better keep an eye on your cars. if you find anything in the glove compartment–dried petals, mouse bones, razor blades, i’m not saying that it’s not possible that i double negative might not have had a hand in it.

fuck it’s too early to be up after going to bed at somewhere around 2:30 in the morning. suuuuckkkkkkking.

and what am i doing up so early you might very well be asking yourself. business meeting. online business meeting at 8am my time. in order to accomodate people in europe. isn’t that fucking INSANE? what am _I_ doing with a business. when did i become all entrepreneurish-shit? i don’t even know how to spell it. and with world domination plans in effect too, what with the far flung group placement. moannnnn but it’s so early. wah wah wah.

last night was hella fun. i ate entirely too much. i got to see my friends. the music was FANTASTIC for a happy change. i think i caught some james brown stylings. so thank you to everybody and thank you to kim for bringing tasty cake and candles too and then NOT SINGING HAPPY BIRTHDAY. i appreciate that so much. stupid song. just eat the cake. is all good.
