[QUOTE=morrissey]And a smidgen of Italian, or is that stretching it?[/QUOTE]

Not at all.

I also sense a pinch of Turkish.

[QUOTE=RollerQueen][B]br3ad:[/B] Yes, [I]City of God[/I] and [I]Requiem for a Dream[/I] are must-see movies. You'll never do coke/diet pills/heroin again or start your own drug cartel.[/QUOTE]

I'll have to wait a year. I'm looking forward to it though. Tonight, a friend and I were chatting about movie nights we want to have in the holidays. We want to get through a heap of Kubrick movies for starters. Should be cool.

I watched Clockwork Orange just this morning :D

I'm almost done reading it.

A Clockwork Orange (the movie) was meh. I guess that I only think that way because it's always been so hyped up and once I actually saw it, I actually said "meh."

I think the film is great, but that's only because I have been so unsatisfied with movies recently. This year has probably been one of the worst years ever for films in my oppinion. I prefer the book though, its more interesting from start to finish, whereas the film seems to drag on towards the end.


edit: Jarvis Cocker is on newsnight tonight giving an interview to anyone interested.

Requiem for a Dream the book is incredible. Read it.

I have the book of [I]Requiem[/I]. It has about a dozen other books ahead of it, though.

Kyle, how can you say that this year sucks for movies? Haven't you seen [I]The Island[/I]? It's like [I]Parts: The Clonus Horror[/I] never went away!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!11!!!

I tried to read, but someone talked to me and messed up my flow.

meh, it was ok. I looked at the listings for the cinema about a month ago to find 6 re-makes showing!! now if that's not a signal that Hollywood is lacking ideas I don't know what is.

:eek: Can't believe I have that many posts in there.

I'm so glad it's friday (even though I'm not doing anything, I've had a very tiring week at work (first week of my new job). Went well apart from some pillock abusing me when I had to perform security checks on a withdrawal he wanted to make (£1000).

My friend is so excited in seeing Opeth tonight it's creepy. On that note, I'm gonna miss Cryptopsy tomorrow:(:(

One week break for school, a-hell yeah!

I might go see a concert tonight, if I can get a ride from the band members. I'm so cool.

Is it worth paying £43 ($77) to see BB King and Gary Moore (together) on tour in April? I know BB is a legend (don't know too much about Moore) but is the price justifiable?

How is everyone today? I'm happy because it's Friday and I'm going for an airsoft war in a little while.

I got totally owned in an airsoft war about an hour or two ago.

So I'm probably not cool enough to post here yet, and I know it's going to sound crazy, but do any of you feel like writing a 50,000 words novel next month for [URL="http://nanowrimo.org"]NaNoWriMo[/URL]?

I know, you're busy, you've never written stuff before, blah blah blah blah blah blah. But I did this last year and I can tell you that it's unbelievable (and fun!), whether you "win" or not. Who wants to give it a try?

Hmmm. I write a lot anyways. Sounds interesting. So you win so longs as you get 50,000 words, eh? I like these kinds of things because I work best on deadlines.

That looks so excellently pointless I might just sign up for it.

Depends what your budget is like. If you can easily afford it, you should go. BB King is badass and Moore is also good and a rock legend.

As for movies this year, they have mostly sucked. I can almost count on one hand the movies I have enjoyed (not the ones that have been particularly good, just ones I have enjoyed). [i]Sin City[/i], [i]Batman Begins[/i] and [i]Charlie And The Chocolate Factory[/i] are pretty much the only good ones there have been. I also enjoyed [i]Hitch[/i] and [i]Be Cool[/i]. [i]The Interpreter[/i] was a fairly good movie, but there are normally heaps of movies of similar quality coming out in a year. It just seems better than it was because nothing else has been good this year. Sean Penn kicks ***.

Now, can anyone tell me some books I should read? I've just realised that I'm not reading anywhere near as much as I should be. It's not because I can't be bothered, it's because I'm so often dissapointed by books that I can't think of anything I want to read.

Have you read the Hitchiker's Guide trilogy?

Yes

Read any Hunter Thompson?

I pretty much like anything amusing or interesting. Last great book I read was "Shutter Island" by Dennis Lahane.

Dennis Lehane is a great writer. I think I've read all of the Patrick Kenzie series, and Shutter Island was the one set at the mental institution, yeah? He's a great author.

[QUOTE=Anxious Mo-Fo]Torry.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, you should be Mister.

[QUOTE=no peros calentes]Yeah, you should be Mister.[/QUOTE]
I am so confused.

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Nope[/QUOTE]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is great, very amusing. As is The Rum Diary. Both are worth checking out. The Great Shark Hunt also has a lot of nice pieces of his stuff. Not a novel, though, if that's what you're looking for.

For clarity's sake, I thought [I]The Island[/I] was atrocious cinema. A sequel to [I]Boondock Saints[/I] is supposedly in the making, though, so that should be good.

Yeah, that's the one.

I went to a hockey game tonight. During overtime this player on our home team got in 2 fights within 3 minutes. If it matters to anybody, which I'm sure it doesn't, the game was Knoxville Ice Bears against the Huntsville Havoc.

I just got back from my school's Battle of the Bands. Every band was terrible.

Score.

School functions suck.

There are actually some decent bands at my school.

All the members of the [I]good [/I] bands from my school graduated last year. :/

Anybody have the Iron & Wine Bonnaroo performance? If so, you should talk to me on AIM.

I was thinking about getting it, but then decided not to. I'll consider it though.
