Memorial Day
“It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the...

I just made $152.55 on this movie →
My cut of a foreign sale that just happened. Keep this in mind next time you illegally download a film. You’re taking money out of someone’s pocket. Not some wealthy Spielberg type, but a working stiff like me.
Now I’m going to cash this at the liquor store.

Mesrine: Killer Instinct
Easily the best film I’ve seen this year. I love a good gangster film, and this is a great one. It opens with a truly intense scene in Algeria and just accelerates from there, hopping continents to follow this international criminal. Intensely raw and violent, this film does not shy away from the gritty parts of the lifestyle.
That makes the lead performance all the more impressive....

I Tend to Overshare: Phrases I Hate →

The monkeys are running the asylum - Because, what, bears would be a more OPTIMAL choice? Inmates running the asylum makes sense, Monkeys running the zoo would maybe make sense… I’m going to start subbing cheetahs or wildebeests for monkeys because it’s just as GD logical.
That’s neither here…

Homeless
Jordan wrote something about an encounter with a homeless woman. Well, there but for the grace of God…
When I moved to NYC in the 80’s, I hooked up with another guy from Cleveland named Steve. Our fathers had worked together a little back home, and he had lived here a few years already when I arrived. We knocked around for a while, pulled some gigs together. He even banged one of...

Nooo, Lisbeth, don’t put that there! I know he raped you, but….
Oh.
You put it there. Ouch.
Oh my God, don’t kick it!
Oh.
She kicked it.

Behold the Chillmaster →
When you walk down Third Street between First Ave. and Avenue A you pass by this guys crib. He’s on the first floor and always has the windows open, sweet soul music blasting and a bar set up on the coffee table. I knew I was in the presence of greatness but had no idea he was…The Chillmaster!

My Back Pages
Without going into too much detail, I wound up as a member of the wedding party when Bob’s daughter got married. It was an intimate and rather lovely affair held at one of his son’s houses in the Hollywood hills. I was briefly introduced to the man at the rehearsal dinner, and had hoped to have a chance to bend his ear a bit. No surprise that I didn’t get the chance. He gave the briefest,...

Help please. I’ve started the day with Flaming Lips radio on Pandora, but that may not be enough. I need something that’ll just get blank stares and agape jaws all day long from the drones here.
Maybe some Phillip Glass?
Listen to children’s music and giggle quietly.

A little confused
becky-mi:
I found last night’s Digital Short decently funny, but I was confused. Lady Gaga says she is all about gays, gay rights, gay acceptance - but there she was in a skit that could be read as gay stuff is gross unless a woman is also involved, or gay stuff is pretty cool, but you have to hide it with a beard to make a threesome.
I dunno, maybe it’s just me.
I’m a lot confused by...
Now THAT is random
Turns out that one of the women I photographed at the Dance Parade was actually an old acquaintance of mine. Not sure how to feel about the fact that someone I hung out with is now a professional rollerblading belly dancer.
