Luxo

I've been listening to The Smiths' The Queen is Dead and How Soon is Now? more times than is probably healthy.

Cool shots. Reminds me of Jem Cohen.

*Edited to comply with the 2 entry limit* If you go back to one of Yeti Ball's Trip Reports (this one: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=280265), you'll see that he went to a website called "yetimatch.com". Well... Not an entry. Not an entry

In the last few contests the limit was three entries per person.

He went off and joined some unknown rock band... Entry #1

The man beat me to it!

I am currently reading On the Road by, Jack Kerouac.

I like 'KidTums' first credit' and 'What will replace Psyclone?' Some other ideas: What is lurking in Dan's inbox? Where in the World is YetiBall (or KidTums)?

Robb, it's a masterpiece!

Two Green Day albums over The Clash's London Calling? BLASPHEMY! When they say rock and roll they mean pop music in general.

Powder Keg, which is probably my new favorite coaster. I just came back from a weekend trip to Branson and unfortunately, could not get tickets to see Yakov Smirnoff's show. Photo from rcdb.com

In no particular order... Fugazi - "Blueprint" The Clash - "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais" Sonic Youth - "Teen Age Riot" Elliot Smith - "Ballad of Big Nothing" Cursive - "Art is Hard" The Smiths - "Shoplifters of the World Unite" Gil Scott-Heron - "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" They Might Be Giants - "Experimental Film"

I think it's fitting that my first NC-17 movie was This Film is not Yet Rated, and what's better is that my parents kept it for me to watch. The film is half guerilla documentary and half examination of the history and practices of the MPAA. For those who don't know, the MPAA is the movie rating system used in the United States; G means General Audiences: All ages admitted, PG is for Parental Guidance Suggested: Some material may not be suitable for children, PG-13 is Parents Strongly Cautioned: Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13, R stands for Restricted: Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian, and finally NC-17 (formerly X): Absolutely no one 17 and under admitted. In the movie business, the NC-17 is box office suicide. The vast majority of theatres and rental stores do not carry any films with the NC-17 rating. This has caused countless producers and directors to sacrifice their art to please the shadowy rating gods, who always work anonymously. One such example is the posthumously cut version of Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. In a beautifully shot, yet rather exceptionally explicit orgy scene, silhouetted figures were digitally placed to cover any content deemed inappropriate. The guerilla half of the film shows the director and a mother-daughter team of private investigators on a mission to expose the suits and raters behind the system, and the director submitting this film to said system for direct debate. We watch them scrounging through garbage and going on hot pursuit armed to the teeth with binoculars and hidden cameras. Overall, This Film is not Yet Rated is a fascinating and enjoyable documentary fit for the whole family! I highly recommend it. 9/10

I just recently saw Jim Jarmusch's 'Mystery Train'. It is a fantastic early take on the multiple related plots idea that seems to be all the rage nowadays.

Unbearably humid with on and off rain.

Happy birthday! Pi's an okay movie, so is its remake...The Number 23

Great Photo TR! Japan will never get old.

The person who made this decision must have been looking at the color wheel upside-down.

I'll bet the Arkansas State Fair is worse. Take your usual sketchy Wal-Mart patrons and multiply them by 100...

Ghost World (best graphic novel to movie adaption, IMO) "Memphis does look like Yokohama. Just more space. If you took away 60% of the buildings in Yokohama, it would look like this."

^ Careful son, thems be fightin' words.

I think I'll wait until they come out with Cherry Vanilla Diet Caffeine Free Vault Zero: Red Blitz Blak with Lemon, Lime, and Raspberry. Only then will I be satisfied.

LOL, I rest my case.

Trying out the camera on my phone. Apparently something caught my eye.

I shouldn't criticize until I've seen the picture, but this just looks too macho for my tastes. I'm fairly certain every line of dialogue in the preview is screamed.
