I DON'T REMEMBER ASKING YOU A GODDAMN THING!!!!

eye stalk.

alesso,
just finished watchmen comic.
-really- you like manhattan? he is a manifestation of man's apathy toward existence

i am more aligned with rorschach. (and albeit veidt more so than manhattan)
not sure about all the casting choices. would like to see a longer trailer.

i think it will be difficult to convey the complexity of this story in film.
i also wonder how the movie will portray the ending.
it is not easy to come to terms with; i am not certain how the average
moviegoer would view its resolution.

yaaay kevin!

i was sort of thinking the same thing. i first saw a preview of it and just assumed it was the sin city sequel. i also saw a large black and white display in the hallways of the theater which i also assumed to be for some sin cityness, but being that i do not know much about the original work, i was not sure what to think of this version.
perhaps i have some more reading to do.

hey alex have you read the spirit?

it is going to be made into a movie

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0831887/

apparently will eisner also wrote sheena: queen of the jungle . . .

obviously then it must be the sequel to the one from 1989 with dolph lundgren

superhero? the punisher is far from that. it is a vigilante story written for comic books. most "super heroes" consider him to be a villain.
not much different from batman, just without the money and trite love story.


it is more realistic. he uses detective work, interrogation, manipulation etc. rather than flying in and magicing up some goodness.
i really can't stand traditional superhero movies, especially when there is just one character with superpowers.

i am still not sure how the new Punisher movie will be.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450314/

most of the actors are from television shows.




the dark knight was pretty good, i wish they would have made the batman voice sound a little less silly.

wanted was interesting, but a bit cheesy. (still waiting for twilight watch)


UPCOMING MOVIES

Still looking forward to soderbergh's guerilla: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374569/
they have been working on it forever.

not sure what to think about this soderbergh directed flick: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130080/

the rum diary still seems to be pushed back because of thompson's death. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376136/fullcredits#cast


could be good: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450405/

might be a flop, but i will still see it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1135487/

sounds good: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1111422/

still on the fence about this one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1046997/
not a big spike lee fan, but the preview is intriguing.

?: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1129381/

there are a lot of movies popping up that have a large cast of television comedians, not sure of the outcomes: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1155056/ and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1197628/ for example.

nothing changes

yay spiiiivey

i am finishing my master's this week
we need to go kill lots of brain cells to celebrate

i do not think that mario is the place to begin a search for realism.

i do want to know if he is still a plumber...



alex, get ghost squad

i bought one a week ago, i find it farily enjoyable.
i have purchased several arcade shooter remakes, but i enjoy those type of games.

abilene is kind of weird.

you can buy liquor anywhere, but you cannot smoke in any restaurant or bar.

the bars all close at midnight, except on saturday, when they are open until one.

there are a lot of churches, but only one gun range.

they also have a lot of programs like noah project, etc. that seem fairly socially liberal.

that being said, having lived in both abilene and lubbock for a large amount of time, i cannot really distinguish one as being more conservative than the other. i think abilene may lean towards the religious type conservatives (not REAL conservatives) and lubbock may be populated with those more concerned with small business and farmers rights etc.

furthermore, i do not really consider lubbock as the bedrock of conservativism. it is a large mostly conservative city, yes, but there is a fairly diverse population. for example, in lubbock county, about 22,000 people voted in the republican primary and about 23,500 people voted in the democratic primary.

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#TX

i think for a real grasp of extreme conservatives, you should probably go to those counties that have very few or no democratic primary voters.







and cathryn has a penis, a big one and it is half black.

that boy be dead

colbert mentioned this on the threat down last night

i watched this movie a few years ago, mostly because they interview noam chomsky.
anyhow, it is pretty interesting, but a bit outdated.

time travel = lottery/gambling winner?

split pretty evenly -- based on the individual

mikey (a 12 year old): consuelo, what is rape exactly?

consuelo (hispanic maid): it is when you love someone, and they don't love you, and you do something about it.

mikey: sometimes, i think my parents don't love me.

consuelo: well, when you get older you can do something about it.

biff that
