i <3 Batman Movies

>new batmobile

i like it. I dont know why...its not anything like the burton one. I think its because it's more realistic for a vigilante. And because the movie is called "batman begins" im assuming this is supposed to be the first ever batmobile, so it lacks style. And has increased ruggedness. I hope the costume correlates with this theme.
i hear that new catwoman movie is going to blow ass...shame.

oh yes.....i must say, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind is a perfect film. Its even better than Adaptation in most ways. It pisses me off how good a writer Charlie Kaufman is. Its fucking incredible. Jersey Girl is excellent too...
Both "touch" you in different ways. Perhaps im not ready to fully understand the way in which Jersey girl touches you, because im not a father, but i understand it enough...just having a father, to love it. Its the most original love-comedy i think hollywood has made in quite sometime. Eternal Sunshine....its just a mind trip, with a lot of real emotions, and real thoughts.....despite the plot centering around fantasy.......classic kaufman i guess.
i gurantee you these are the two best films out right now...prolly til Hellboy in a few days(?) i think....

dont juice on me

somone in my script writing class, told me my short film was too crude and that no one would want to watch it, and then went on to say "i think high school kids would even be offended by this." I wanted to tell him to fuck off so badly, and that his film was the most pointless fucking trash so far.....even though i kind of liked his. I mean...i remember high school. Everyone had weird sexual tension....weird for various reasons. especially those first couple of years. i dont know... I didn't say anything though...so i guess it doesn't matter. But still...its not like i had anyone kill their father and then anally rape him. I have a kid who can control time, saying impolite things to a girl that he is attracted to....because he says what he feels, and he doesn't know how to talk to girls, but with time control, he can be smooth....
i just thought this guy was a little niave. He probably buys into the austin philosophy, of making a conscious effort to be un-entertaining, and replacing it with played out types of hippie shit. blah...im bitter.
On the other hand...a girl in the class said it was "fun" and "crude can be good." My teacher/ta would not say anything about it.....everyone in the class was laughing at pretty much every part that was supposed to be funny......even that guy, so whatever.

i have something to say that matters....i hope.

i hope its over

this week was fucking crazy for me. With south by southwest volunteering, seeing shows, and working/training at the black eyed pea now, along with the 311 this past saturday and all the homework yesterday, things just haven't stopped. And now im fucking sick with one of the more terrible sinus infections ive ever had i think. I just wore myself out i guess, and smoked a shitload of nasty natural american spirit ciggarettes, which were free to sxsw people. So i think im gonna try to give up smoking, hopefully all together.....im just fucking tired of it, its stupid and I blame it for my illnesses, which im also tired of.
But alot of cool stuff happened over the break, despite not ever getting a true break (ive only had like 3 beers in the entire past week). I didn't see any movies but i got to see a shit load of music acts.
Wednesday me and amy saw a bunch of hip hop acts on RhymeSayers Label...i think they were all from minneapolis. The hi-lite to be was a fat albino MC, it was hilarious....but i dont remember his real name.
Next was CAKE and Little Richard. Cake....idunno, their set was dissappointing, but i love John McCrae so much because of his assholic attitude, its so funny to me. He hates his fans, and popularity, it always seems like....they played two new songs, which sounded really cool. Little Richard...idunno what to say except "shut up!"
Friday i went to a Punk showcase, which had NOFX headlining....this other band named the Dillinger Four, was interesting...they seemed to hate a lot of people, and one guy got naked and stuck a bottle in his ass, and he also claimed that every song had "thank you baby jesus" in the title. It was offensive, but fun. David Cross did a comeddy hour, inbetween shows, which was really funny....and then Nofx rocked....my roomate michael as well as this herpetonian mark got into the pit, which was really uncharacteristic of them.
Then saturday, i saw Handsome Boy Modeling School....which was cool, but not all that musical. Then some famous techno/electronic two man stuff.....i cant think of their name now.....and then we watched half of NERD's set, which was cool....but we were cranky....Liz Phair was in the crowd....as well as Domino of heiroglyphics.....
By sunday i was quite sick, but attended the sxsw softball game....to volunteer.....Michael got wasted on free beer...then me and amy and mike all took a free 12 pack of booze.......but im too fucking sick to drink.

this is prolly boring to everyone....oh well, i wrote it anyway.

hands down

it was the best 311 concert ive ever been to.
jammin', emotional, familial, rare, enlightening, entertaining.
wow.
way above the last 3 ive been to...
i think for my 10th or 11th one, i would like to go to new orleans for the 3-11 day celebration....the setlists are unbelievable, and the past one was a five hour long set. (Just imagine your favorite music being played live for 5 hours)

but anyways.
today was my first day at sxsw. the long hours are annoying, but its not like you are doing much. the people in "holding pool" are more often than not, boring....but they do serve decent food. and they also give away free packs of cigarrettes.....apparently one of the "anchors/reporters" from the daily show was there today....but, i did not see him.....nor really care to. It wasn't John Stewart or Steven Colber (sp?)

ok...so after i made that dvd....(that apparently all the people i know hate now)...for my parents they've been showing to all their friends and other regions of the family i rarely see.....but apparently the most requested re-play is the Dreamer's Dream (aka My Pet Monster Movie), which is totally fucked up.....but i guess it strikes a very simple/fun/fantasy chord....and alot of people seem to like it. And strangely lint is the most unliked....i blame that on the shitty ghost and pot smoking....
But for the other, I give credit to the my pet monster itself......
retro nostalgia is soooo hot, its burning me right now.

one organism in celebration.

busy-ness

im really busy.
i dont really have time to do this, but im procrastinating for 5 more minutes atleast....
so far:
dialogue exercise paper (check)
art history - mathews' critical evaulation research paper (check)
asians in US cinema study/test (check)
to do:
complete african american history, 15 page take-home test/report (fuck!)
go to SXSW "bag stuffing" (idunno)
go to work at BEP (meh)
go to 311 for the 9th time, in houston (goal)
begin SXSW volunteer work (aah)
shoot herpeton commercial (do it)
dont do anything moderately associated with "vacation" during spring break (no problem)

i cant picture myself sitting back and relaxing.....but i want to, its weird.

nothing interesting in my life is happening though....311 will be interesting, since along with all my katy friends, my sister and parents will be there...WHO AM I GOING TO RIDE WITH?
i cant show up with my rents! its sooo uncool
But my friends will prolly be drunk....
oh wait...not really....but still, its a moral dilemmaaaaoooh my god i have to study....

"lay-tah"

Thomas F. Mathews' quote

discussing the reverence of the Ass in early medievil art...

"And, most amazing, there are several representations of Christ with the head of an ass. A famous graffito of around the year 200 discovered on the Palatine in Rome shows a man worshipping a cruicified, ass-headed Christ, above a inscription, "Alexamenos worships his god."

I do not worship representations, nor ass-headed Christs...
