end of the movie



i saw pauly shore, and his new movie, live.
The movie is decent and good for more than a few good chuckles (mostly because of cameos). It physically looks like fucking shit, he really hired someone who didn't know what they were doing with an HDcam.
But to get to what I would like to talk about....how delusional Pauly Shore is about himself. Not that it really matters whether he is or not, because he has a one in a million shot of making a comeback, dont worry. But its sad how he is almost sure that he will. There is a lot of humor that he could find if he was willing to self deprecate, but he refuses, and he comes off as a sad case for a human being. You can see how distraught he is, how "tough" its been for this guy, and how defensive he is when people make fun of him, which is all i wanted to do, when, as i was leaving the theater, nearly physically bumped into him, and didn't care really.
My how he must wrap himself in his friends/other celebrities bullshit about his chances of "being somebody" again. Which...maybe this is how everyone in hollywood is...constantly sucking up to eachother, thinking that no matter how low someone is, they might be able to help me out at some point. hopefully its not to this sad extent, but its weird and creates a malaise for me. ive heard actors suck, but this was a real concrete example for me.
this whole experience made me appreciate Team America even moreso.

Personally I dont want to "be" in hollywood....i want to go to LA and work on a few films at some point, get certified in the craft, get a little know to the a few people, and then comeback to austin or maybe try new york then come back to austin....or houston....but hopefully in the next five years, austin could support a film career....that'd be nice and dreamy.

i think pauly shore wipes from the front..........but atleast he wipes sitting down.


SAW TOMORROW!

stand or sit



if you wipe your ass standing up, you obviously dont have a problem smearing shit all over the areas surrounding your asshole, if only for a brief moment while you stand. You are gross, and dont let any other "standers" tell you different. You are a freak.

take the survey.

my lungs will be so fucked up



new cake is always good.
the latest effort is (surprisingly) nearly trumpet-less, which is one of the reasons i first started to listening to them. But at this point it has gone way beyond that, and ive formulated some strong emotional bond to their sound. A lot more singing rather than speak-singing...
and A lot more synthy pop noises going on in the trumpets absense, along with maybe a bagpipe and maybe an acordian...but im not for certain...its prolly just the keyboard confusing me. But definitely a banjo.
There are always songs on every album that draw parallels with songs from other albums, but this one is missing a couple of those staples. I miss the ultra guitar led song (i guess its supposed to be "no phone" but the drums and vocals end up winning in the end)
but i miss, more so, the ultra somber sad song. The closest thing would have to be "Tougher than it is"...which is cool in an existential way, but has a pretty strong hiphop beat to it. I like how the song toward the middle just starts repeating "some people like to make life a little tougher than it is"....as the song seems to just get simpler and simpler...not that there is a huge breakdown from a really complicated tune, i guess its very subtle.

This is their most danceable/easily enjoyable album, and by far the most well produced....but not the best.
But in a world where their genre is pretty dated (or maybe it never existed), they still bring the shit...
like this...

"...and the muscular cyborg german dudes, dance with sexy french-canadians....while the overweight americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits"
"too much carbon monoxide for me to bare....where's the air??? (x5)"

they are on tour with the decemberists...a good match i feel.

temptation





its always lurking in the darkness occasionally rubbing against me like a dog.
I was thinking today of a very tempting wish. The wish that everyone in the world that i had never heard of, nor seen or heard or heard of or even felt (whether it be on TV/radio/net etc) would just die. I was thinking that the good effects wouldn't be immediate enough, and that i may need to rework the wish a bit, by changing some semantics....maybe instead of "die" i could say "cease to exist" and that kind of opens up the interpretation for the genie, so maybe all those poor poor souls who have never been seen by thine eye, will not die per se, but just not exist, nor would they have ever existed. So they would just be gone, and no one would realize it....nor have to clean up all the dead bodies....although...that might be kind of fun. I guess i could also put in the wish, that all those souls were to be well kept in the afterlife...i guess.
Also, i was thinking i need to add a clause to include in the mass genocide, all the bad customers that come to black eyed pea. That way even when the wish is intially granted, it wouldn't be such a bad day if i had to go to work that day. After that day, im sure someone would be asking me to come work for them somewhere else, because big companies would be panicking to replace people, without thinking of the overall damage to the amount of demand in the world.
Once they realized the change in demand, I would prolly get laid off, unless i really showed them i was useful. But lets not joke, i would be out of there in a couple of weeks.
After this i would think that there would be a lot of famous art that would go on sale, i might try to cash in on that. Or maybe drive to hollywood and buy or just claim some distribution rights to a lot of old movies...or just JAWS. Then I would chill....walk the earth.
search for anything real in the world....that kinda hippie shit.

But thats never going to happen...its tempting to believe in genies. What happened to the genie genre in film? OH YEAH! KAZAAM is the worst movie ever made for profit.
fuck you shaq. i want my genie movies.
i have been called into work....that sucks
