Sorry, forgot to update this on the blog.

Boobies

So tonight we went to the burlesque show, and, surprise, there were boobies abound. The theme was Bibbity Bobbity Boobs, i.e. it was a (mostly) Disney themed night. Too bad some people are so lame they flew all the way to England to avoid seeing girls showing off their breasts for free ($6). There seemed to be more substance to this one than the one at the end of last semster, which I think was themed "Hos, hos, hos" (God I'm clever). If the other 3 American-bound RIEMers want to go more into depth to tell Andrew, and others, what they missed, do it. OO

Soundtrack Night

Listen to it here. It's great.

Watchmen

Was super awesome. Although I'm sure the person that this is meant for won't like it. Its basically exactly like Juno, after all.



Click on it to see the whole thing. Stupid blogger.

Happy Birthday Grady!!!

Hooray for no longer being a teenager. BTW, it's all downhill from here.

Happy Birthday Garrett

Make sure to listen to RIEM this Friday.

A show to rival James Bond night!

William Carlos Williams

So the other day I was in my poetry class and we were reading "The Red Wheel Barrow."
The professor said he really liked the poem and asked us what we thought of it.
I said that I don't particularly like the poem.
Then he snapped at me and said, "You had Stoneback. OF COURSE you don't like this poem!"

Just a little ISJ for my buddy in England. :)

BEE TEE DUBS I moshed the SHIT out of Japanther.
I love pushing people around... there's something very satisfyingly
sadistic about it.

Bold Statements

Revolutionary Road was the best movie of this year. Mickey Rourke should have won. Milk was "pretty good" at best. Gran Torino got shafted. Slumdog is this year's Juno, but better.

Japanther

Was fuckin' sweet. Moshed the shit out of that mothafuckin shit. fuck you england

Who listens to the Watchmen?

Besides completely original music for the film, the Watchmen Soundtrack is going to be made up of a bunch of songs that most of us are familiar with. Any opinions or comments on artist/song selection? Personally, I'm just trying to figure out, based on the book, where the songs would be most appropriate.

Music From The Motion Picture Watchmen track-listing is as follows:
1. Desolation Row - My Chemical Romance
2. Unforgettable - Nat King Cole
3. The Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan
4. The Sound Of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel
5. Me & Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
6. I'm Your Boogie Man - KC & The Sunshine Band
7. You're My Thrill - Billie Holiday
8. Pruit Igoe & Prophecies - The Philip Glass Ensemble
9. Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
10. All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
11. Ride of the Valkyries - Budapest Symphony Orchestra
12. Pirate Jenny - Nina Simone*
* - used in the end credits of the "Tales From The Black Freighter" DVD.

Revolutionary Road pt. 2

I just saw Revolutionary Road. I really liked it

Spoiiiilerrrsss:





I do think that it does fizzle out, but I also think that's the point. You get these big, big arguments between Kate and Leo all throughout the movie, only to find that it doesn't go anywhere. It's the very definition of being stuck in a rut. She plans to be an actress. Nope. He wants to do something different from his dad. Nope. They plan to go to Paris. Nope.

The big emotional payoff at the end, with the diy abortion and her dying, isn't really a payoff, because he still ends up working for the same bullshit company, trying to take care of the kids. Later on you find a similar couple moving in, and nothing's changed. Fuckin' scaaaary.

Batwoman is gay. I don't know if that makes me happy or not, though is does prove that Batman Beyond was a farce. That show claimed she was DP-ed by Batman and Robin, and is currently into Mandingo dong (not their exact words but close enough). The world makes no sense anymore.

Na na na naaa na, Na na na naa na...

Jeff Rosenstock puts on one of the best fucking punk shows ever.

How's the UK?
