I'm an Idiot

Confession:

I'm stupid. Call me slow or even retarted if you wish but I just figured out my behavioural pattern. Abandonment. This is why I am alone. Its my fault. I left.

Swingers Save

The movie ''Swingers'' has been consistently saving my days and my life for the past eight years. If you haven't seen it yet, it may turn out to brighten up your mood and save your day too.
Came stumbling home today from a shitty mexican restaurant a bit stoned and a bit drunk. I was pissed off, tired and foggy from the drinks, the weed and my obnoxious company. Put my old Canadian bootleg copy of ''Swingers'' in my dvd drive and ta-dah...instant comfort & relaxation. Like taking warm lavender bath then slipping into an old worn robe soft from ten years in the machine wash. AHHHH.

Dork, Geek, Nerd, Whatever You Call It

So I am embarrassingly obsessed with the new theatrical trailer for James Cameron's 'Avatar'. I'm a big fat sucker for hollywood blockbusters puctuated with overblown operatic overtures and over the top special effects, all financed with a inflated bulbous budget that rivals many country's GDP's.
When I see or rather ''experience'' this trailer, my eyes get glazed and my face drops into a robotic trance.

I DIG!

Another sleepless night watching documentaries. Hulu.com has become my late-night lover. Last nights films were 'The Bridge' and 'DIG!'. I had already seen them before last year but nevertheless good viewing. I did stop and start 'The Bridge' though. I had to, a little to modlum for two in the morning.



See 'The Bridge' is about suicide. A lot of suicides. Cameras rolled for an entire year, 2004, on the golden gate bridge in San Francisco and captured twenty four suicides on film. The film features a few of the decseased and interviews their families and friends and witnesses of their plunge to gather their motivations and last final moments. The movie leaves my mouth wide open every time I see it.



'DIG!' is fun and funny. It chronicals the rise and fall and rise and fall again of battling bands, ''The Dandy Warhols'' and ''The Brian Jonestown Massacre'' in the 90's.

I love watching it over and over.

I treasure Anton Newcombe and Joel Gion. Courtney is only a little bit bitter. Don't know what I'm talking about? Watch this movie.

It will entertain your deepest rockstar fantasies.
