Hey all

Well, the black (market) Friday has passed and I seemed to have survived with nearly all my essentials. The turkey or tofurkey was dry, but the stuffing kept me well--stuffed-- The inlaws, I know I know, must've driven you mad, but hell, soon enough it will be MLK day and they will be far, far away. As for now, tolerate their insanity as they do yours, and buy your old man that tie he's always wanted.

gobble gobble:

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo: Despite the negative reviews (duh) against this picture, and Rob's full page ad refuting Ken Turan(?), this got's to be some wicked ass comedy! Taken from my autobiography, Deuce is on the hunt again, only this time he's got his woohoo set on those hot swedish babes, or rather those other east european women...? Well, any which way you can Deuce, you go boy.

Lila Says: Whenever I think of this title, I always catch myself singing "Candy Says" only horribly out-of-tune. Just like when I think of Das Boot and I think of Mix-a-lot's "I Like Big Butts," in German: Ich mag große Kolben und, der ich nicht liegen kann. Sie anderen Bruders können nicht verweigern. Wenn ein Mädchen in mit einer itty bitty Taille und dem runden Ding in Ihrem Gesicht läuft, sind Sie gesprungen. Booya sucka!

March of the Penguins: When I was enjoying my Arizonian vacation, I sorta felt like I was a marching penguin. Ironic and lame I know, but the true Californian in me came out blazing...or rather freezing. I suspect it's because it's 19 fucking degrees there.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith: Oh jeez. The two most beautiful people in the world finally do it. They get together and lay big fat one. Good or bad who cares, it's Brangelina.

Murderball: This movie is a lie. There's no murder. Here I thought it was a follow up to Rollerball, and it wasn't it even close to Thunderball! yes, yes I know what they do, I couldn't even dream of doing, but I'm just sayin, if you're gonna say murder, I better some blood.

Sky High: I think that's Snoop Dogg's life goal.

As this weekend comes to a closing, I am proud to announce that Videotheque has reached the 10,000 stock inventory mark! (with the 10,000th title being....Their Eyes Were Watching God!....aw, lame!) So thanks for all your support, and hopefully in no time, we'll be celebrating the 25, 000! Yay!!

11:08 (love on the run)

Sup y'all....

We are all busy, busy people.. Always running around, trying to move through our lives faster and faster and faster and well, you get the point.. In an effort to keep with said lifestyle, today's entry will be no different. Besides, the stigmata on my hand won't allow for much diddledaddling. agreed? oh well.

Chicks dig scars:

Apres Vous: sacre bleu!

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory: The wacky imagination of Timmy Burton brings to life (again) Roald Dahl's story made infamous with the Deppers. I hear the oomps aren't the best, but it just may be worth your beaucoup bucks.

Beavis & Butthead vol. 1: Huhhh, huuuhhhh, he said "butt."

The Devil's Rejects: they shouldn't talk about your mother that way. (oh schnaps!!)

Yes: Sally Potter's long awaited follow up to the Man Who Cried. Huhhh, huuuuhhhh he said "pot."

********************

quick and easy like your mama baby. See you next time.

IN COLD BLOOD- Movie of Capote's novel- Screening tomorrow!

Salutations, cinemaniacs! Tomorrow night marks our final episode of inebriated cinema as Videothèque and Huron SubStation present Cinema at the Station... it's the last night of our "movie and drinks" series everyone's been slurring about! This farewell festivity happens TOMORROW NIGHT, Thursday, November 3rd. (Note the important schedule changes mentioned below!)

We wrap the series with a presentation of IN COLD BLOOD, Richard Brooks' stylish and powerful 1967 drama adapted from Truman Capote's novel about a shocking real-life murder case. Capote's authoring of this book is the subject of the film Capote, currently in theaters, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and directed by Bennett Miller.

In Cold Blood is a daring cinematic portrait, employing flashbacks to fully examine what drives an individual to commit thoughtless and brutal crimes, while using a highly innovative jazz score by Quincy Jones to capture the moody atmosphere. Capote's own role as researcher-narrator of the young criminals' intense friendship, fantasies, and troubled lives is effectively brought to the screen in this striking, groundbreaking drama.

Two aimless drifters, Perry Smith (Robert Blake) and Dick Hickock (Scott Wilson), target the home of Kansas businessman Herbert Clutter. After breaking into the house, they find no money, and Smith and Hickock brutally kill the entire Clutter family. They escape the scene of the crime and head for Mexico, but they eventually go back to the States, ultimately returning to Kansas. After being chased for almost a year, the troubled drifters are captured and sentenced to death.

Don't miss our presentation of In Cold Blood tomorrow night, projected in large-scale, full digital quality. Beer and wine will be served at our donation-based bar (with ID), or BYOB! Come early and socialize over drinks to the sounds of our lounge DJ. Here's where it all takes place:
