"Do you have a Jerry Bruckheimer section?" Quite possibly the funniest seven words ever asked to a geeky video store clerk. Ok, so it's not that funny especially after the prick kept laughing at his own joke. Maybe the kicker is when he came up to me again and asked if have this film called "titanic." I said sure, it's up your ass. Ok, this timid thing didn't say that, but man I wish you did.
blogging's for wimps:
Boys of Baraka: My vote for the coolest cover/poster art for the year. Featuring a kick ass watercolor painting by some body. This doc is like an idealist's answer to Scared Straight. That's good for me to know, for when that day comes that little ol me has little ol ones, and those bitches be misbehavin', their asses are off to Kenya.
Firewall: "Give me back my daughter!" Hmm, that's not right, let's try "Get off my plane!!" nooo, how about "It was the one armed man!" uhh "Sushi. That's what my ex-wife called me - cold fish" Still no, "Snakes! I hate snakes!" Ah hell, I give up.
Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic: She is soooo right. He is magic. He could cure leprosy and stuff, even the blind! And who else could rise seven days after they crucified him?! Gosh, he's someone to look up to. And check out that wicked beard. If only I was magic....
Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada: I speak spanish and I so desperately wish I could pronounce that.
Underworld: Evolution: Nerds will rejoice when they learn that the latest in comic/fantasy/videogame epics is out here. It will rival for space on your shelf between your o.o.p (out of print for you none collectors) This is Spinal Tap Criterion Collection and the four disc set of Hellboy. Make sure you show it off to the ladies, they lloooooovvvveeeee completists. ooooohhh.

New Staff Recs and Stuff!!
Catch a special section for an indie fave, Mathieu Kassovitz! Probably better known for his photo-booth hunting role in Amelie than the director of HATE, this kid's got some talent. Impress the Franks with your knowledge of his oeuvre: Cafe Au Lait, Birthday Girl, Gothika and more.
Shohei Imamura 1926-2006: Acclaimed Japanese director has left us for greener pastures. See what subtle and often times, scary and subversive beauty he brings us. Kim Ki-Duk should be grateful. Think: Pornographers, Warm water under the red bridge and Vengeance is mine.
Ken Loach: Flying high off his winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes, we figured we'd help a brother out and promote the sucker's flicks. So let's play some catch up: A Fond Kiss, Kes, My name is Joe and many others.
Mark: Holidays in the Sun: Mark's getting all summery on us. Get ready for a little sunshine with his picks featuring all hot bods getting sweaty and wetty, at the beach of course. Bring in the season with Gidget, beach blanket bimbo et al.
Andy: Vamanos! If you're not at the beach, you're getting out of the country. Well, at least Andy is. He's gettin ready for his mighty excursion to our neighbor's down south. Give him love.
Phamdiggity: No Sleep Till...: I think I wrote about this last week, but if you're tired, can't sleep, this is it. Get your sheep on.
ok, love one another and stay cool.
