This is a stuck up self loving photo booth. Seeing it sit in the corner near an Intermedia Art show we attended friday evening, we decided to enter and have our pictures saved for posterity. We made the required funny faces and came out expecting to laugh at ourselves. And out comes the above picture. The photo booth only likes taking pictures of itself. I fear the day when they begin to move past vanity and start to take over the world.
went to see history of violence this afternoon and then attended a intermedia art show that was pretty cool.
im sure you’ve heard plenty about the movie by now so i’ll just give a quick review
the violence. Quick. it’s the aftermath that’s painful.
Viggo; he should be nomitated for an oscar for this. His facial expressions are downright scary, and very real.
Overall: B+ a solid movie from David Cronenberg, One note, do not see this if for some reason you can’t handle sex on screen. this movie is lucky it didn’t get an x rating, alltogether an enjoyable outing, that kinda just leaves you on edge.
Now Reading, Top Shelf Under the Big Top.
Tommorow I’ll tell you about a stuck up Photobooth.
I know that Bond usually makes the actor, not the other way around, but Daniel Craig? I would have much rather seen Brosnan for one more go around than Daniel Craig(layer cake, road to perdition and gasp Laura Croft:Tomb Raider,ughh,) Anyway, at least the director of Goldeneye is doing this one so it shouldn’t be cheesy but maybe it’s time for 007 to dissapear for a good long while. Heck I’ve never heard of so many actors turning down a role. Good luck Mr. Craig, Daniel, Daniel Craig.
Across America every wednesday is a holiday for my fellow geeks as we tromp down to our local comic book stores to buy our brand new issue of our favorite books. It’s rather unique part of our culture that every city in america with a comic book store is alive on that particular day, every week of the year. Some of us have big stacks each week. Some like me buy one or two titles at the most, but it is the excitement of arrival that does it for the most of us i believe. Not unlike tuesday for media junkies, the day when dvds and cd’s usually come out, comic book day, can be a fun filled and escaping day, to that little fantasy world in our heads.
books i picked up this week
INFINITE CRISIS # 1 Dc comics. I got to admit i don’t really know what’s going on in this book. I’ve always been a marvel guy and there are so many dc characthers in this book who i don’t even know who they are that i am a little lost. But this is the most hyped book of the year so i am giving it a shot. I really enjoy the batman, superman, story arc as those characthers usually play off well agaisnt each other, but I can’t say i really undertsand much else that is going on.
HOUSE OF M #7. MARVEL favorite book this week. The story Bendis has been writing is finally hitting it’s stride, and boy does he leave with a cliffhanger for the final issue coming up. It will be intesting to see if this story has any lasting impacts on the marvel characthers. If it does, it’s an amazing piece of comic book history. if it does not. ends up being a dream or some such thing. Then it has been a waste of my time. we will see.
THE GOON 25Cents edition Dark Horse. This is perfect comic for October and for 25 cents you can’t go wrong. It’s the Sopranos meets the munsters and even a little song about the sun coming out tommorow is included. Best line,
“Monkey’s going to learn Ya don’t mess with a man when he’s eating his ice cream.” Steal a qaurter give this book a try.
Hello. This sunday myself and Jessica are attending the madison zine fest It will only be my second visit to Wisconisn, my first when I visited my friend Michael a few years back and I played my really bad songs in a little practice space in some strange warehouse. I’m excited by the drives, by the motion that carries us from one place to another. It seems that the world is big and it is, but when you make the connection, any connection with other people of similar interests, including the joys of stapling pieces of paper together and exchanging the ideas within, it makes the world seem much smaller. And that’s a nice comfort.
Hello, brave internet, hello brave people, the tempartures are falling and the sky is still blue.
I have found that I can’t resist joining in all the commotion over writing a blog. Around six years ago I had a pretty frequent blog up and it became kind of meditative. I doubt anyone out there really will care what i have to say here but i don’t mind writing just in case one of you might.
It’s funny this internet world we live in. feel free to communicate, that’s what it’s here for.
