Road Ramdoms and Movie Reviews
favorite lyrics of the day:
"I don't know where we've been. Can you tell me where we are again? Jesus is my only friend, no one else knows who I am. I know I'll never make it on the cross, spend my days looking for a woman daddy lost. He was too proud to have a boss, set himself out then he couldn't afford the cost. No one knows how he felt, hung himself in the county jail. There were those who said he would burn in hell, I don't think they knew him very well."
Joseph Arthur, "Redemption's Son" from the album Redemption's Son
not sure if he's being ironic or literal when he says "Jesus is my only friend, no one else knows who I am", but I like it either way, weather it's a real person or someone else knowing "who I am", it would be nice to know that someone is out there.
Movie Reviews:
I've seen more movies in the theater this week, more than is healthy, only because I have to eat lots of popcorn and junior mints with them......
1. "The Covenant"
I'm embarassed I saw this movie. I would be less embarassed to tell you I watched the latest Lindsey Lohan movie, whatever that is, seriously, it's movies like that that you wonder why did everyone lie? I mean, by the time a movie has reached the theater, hundreds of people have had their hands on it and worked on it. My question is, how in the world did none of those however many hundred people not say, "hey, this movie isn't very good, maybe we shouldn't do this..."
2. "The Black Dahlia"
Creepy, interesting, creepy, disturbing and then sad. I wasn't sorry I' saw it, but also don't feel like I would have missed anything. The high point of creepiness (stop reading if you don't want a spoiler) is when a woman, who I won't tell you how she relates to the plot, giggles, waves a dainty little waive, says bye bye, and sticks a pistol in her mouth and splatters her brain on the wall. Oh and the naked girl cut in half was equally disturbing. I wouldn't run out to see it, and if this review makes you want to see it more, then you're sick and please delete me from your friends list and forget you ever knew me.
3. "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby"
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaLOLOLOLOL. go see it, now, then email me and thank me for changing your life, or at least giving you a good escape from it. Comedy genius.
4. "Invincible"
Shoot. I hate how I, just like every red blooded American gets sucker punched by a good underdog movie. Yes, this is a typical guy comes from behind to do something great in the setting of a professional sports team. Why does this never get old? Why do we all feel like underdogs? It's because of the British (no harm meant to my UK mates). Our country started out as an underdog, so it's in or DNA somewhere to think we will always beat the odds. I think I liked it the most because it makes me think I'm going to beat the odds, even though it usually feels like the odds are beating the living dukey out of me.
That is all for the moment, I've got a long busy night here at the super 8 in nowhere nebraska, as in I'm bored as everyone else that lives in this state. Which reminds me, I stopped to get gas in Nebraska earlier this week and the gas station had a big sign that said, "You Are Nowhere". It was a brilliant moment of truth. cheers.
