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

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*

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.
