Out of pure reflex, I bought a ticket.

Now I need hotel reservations/a plane ticket/someone to go with.

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]I rented [i]Elephant[/i] last night. I'll probably watch it tomorrow.[/QUOTE]
I couldn't stand it. An hour and a half of pointless actions, and that abrupt ending.

Bleh.

Sure, it presented a message, but... Bleh.

[QUOTE=Kyle]Leon is awesome:) I really like Jean Reno for some reason.[/QUOTE]

Oh c'mon, we all know Gary Oldman is the best in that movie.

[QUOTE=Wanker]Oh c'mon, we all know Gary Oldman is the best in that movie.[/QUOTE]Yea, but Jean Reno is just awesome in general..

I wonder how blind people have sex.

I'd imagine there'd be a lot of sore belly buttons.

[QUOTE=Wanker]sounds fun. how do we do it?[/QUOTE]

we gather a bunch of records/cds and burn them

[QUOTE=Zmev]I wonder how blind people have sex.[/QUOTE]

That's like wondering how they do [I]anything[/I]. Those of us with sight just don't really get it.

pointless actions?

neh. it was a daily life.

i thought it was really good.

I jusy got back from seeing V For Vendetta. Could be the best movie that I have ever seen in theaters. It was incredible.

I'm downloading The National - [I]Alligator[/I] right now, I hope it's worth it after all the hype I've been reading about.

Personally, I think it's just average. It just doesn't keep my attention.

V for Vendetta was totally solid. I think if fans of the comic dislike it, they're being pedantic wangshuckers. Because no one's opinion can differ from mine. It is also totally solid.

Really though, it was just a quality, entertaining movie.

It was just TONS of walking.

And not good, "Lost in Translation" or "Broken Flowers" Walking, just... walking. A few hellos. A picture. Bleh.

A judge has halted the sale of Notorious BIG's "Ready to Die" because one of the samples in the album was used without permission.

Finally, a comic fan's perspective. Now I really want to see it.

My only real beef was the ending. But it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I guess I could see why Alan Moore was up in arms about the screenplay but there's a lot of difference between a screenplay and execution, I'd imagine. Mostly, I think that unless you spend your time nitpicking through adaptations, it shouldn't be a bother. Like I said, solid entertainment.

Honestly, I barely remember the source material. It didn't make a huge impression, and I actually felt a bit confused (because I read it over a long span, having not much time to actually sit and read it).

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]Not sure man, but they seem pretty decent to me, so I'd reckon that you should go. It would be fun. Where are they playing?[/QUOTE]

The Arena. I've actually never been there. I'm pretty definite that I'll go now. It'll probably the only chance I get for a while to see a band with my a lot of friends. I finally get to see your brother's band in the holidays with Go Stop Stop too. :)

Work was ok today, I drank a smoothie thing at lunch and got a headache though. That's the last time I buy a smoothie from New Zealand in a while.

[I]V for Vendetta[/I] was a lot better than I expected it to be. Very entertaining, 7.5/10

sxsw was a drag

Zomg, we have a Pop / Pop Rock forum now.

<3 Pop rock.

[QUOTE=reverend ana t]sxsw was a drag[/QUOTE]

Shoulda gone to Emo's.

My review is featured on Sputnik, sweet :D

sxsw always sucks, and the only cool band that played at Emo's was Trail of Dead and to see them you'd have to sit through 5 sh[size=2]i[/size]tty bands.

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]Shoulda gone to Emo's.[/QUOTE]
I did, but I still missed like 15 other bands I wanted to see because I'm not 21 and didn't have a wristband. Trail of Dead didn't play at Emo's, either... they did some bar on 8th by 35.

I have a trunk full of fliers and CDs now, though.

Lifetime played at Emo's

I know... I missed them and wanted to beat myself. Someone said they did some Kid Dynamite song, but I dono how accurate that statement is.
