Update

This week, I've mostly been listening to

I’ll shove that bat up your ass and turn you into a popsicle

Coolest of stories of a Warriors gang heading home to Coney Island - never mind the funny little inconsistencies in the script like all the tens of thousands of N.Y. taxis disappeared, buses don’t run either and traveling as a civilian is a no-no.
Brilliant movie, looks awful nice, presents amazing gangs (Warriors, Gramercy Riffs, Rogues, Turnbull A.C.‘s, Orphans, Baseball Furies, Lizzies and Punks) with coolest of outfits.

Piece of scrap

Piece. Of. Crap.

Quote of the day

"They say, it's the fucking smog is the fucking reason you've got such a beautiful fucking sunsets." 

(Dennis Farina/'Cousin' Avi Denovitz - Snatch, written by Guy Richie)

Angels of death squadron

Well-acted yet somewhat uneventful drama. If I had - and I sure had - high hopes for this, I was sourly disappointed.

Dead on

Can’t wait to see how they made TV of this part of the series.

ROFLAW (rolling on the floor laughing and wanking)

Ok now, people are crying out their fucking hearts over this, it was deemed Oscar-worthy (Sandra Bullock) and all the reviews I read were uber-positive.So goddamn positive that you could think that I’m missing something, but I am not. In fact, The Blind Side is cliché-ridden piece of shit, there are literally thousands of movies like this out there and they are shit too. If this was ok, it was ok only sometimes, but it’s not nearly, not even close, that good as people seem to think it is.

Update

This week, I have mostly been listening to:

Bollocks is worse than arse

A buddy movie with a serious undertone. But altogether, a feel-good film with such dead-on brilliant writing that you don't see so often. I truly enjoyed it.

Business for keeps

Classic film noir, not so long ago I saw the 1990 remake starring Gene Hackman and Anne Archer which was no match but a good one too.

And to the dust shall we return

I’ve said about liking small town movies and vigilante movies. I’m also liking post-apocalypse movies. Apart from the hell on earth of sort, the story itself in The Book of Eli was a bit of a dull fuck to be honest. But a good movie nonetheless, certainly looked like a million bucks and has an interesting cast with people such as Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Tom Waits, Malcolm McDowell and Michael Gambon.

Quote of the day

"What are you? Satan?"

(George - Seinfeld) 

Update

I’m having Expresso Mokka Pinotage and another South African wine, Highland Bird whiskey and local beer this very moment - and I’m playing a poker tournament, there’s some music somewhere there in the background (David Bowie is playing). Not much more to say.

Quote of the day

“Nothing existed around him. There was only the noise in his head, the mind in time. When he died he would not end. The world would end.” 

(Don DeLillo – Cosmopolis)

No pain, no Caine

Wasn’t this something of a cool motherfucker. I mentioned some lines ago something about liking small town movies - add vigilante movies to that list. Harry Brown presents Michael Caine at his very best and a deep nod to Sean Harris, a relatively more unknown actor, but a small top-notch fucken performance here. Must mention though that somewhere along the line the director lost his focus and the film stumbles in a few naïve and irritating plot holes and fails to deliver the reality it tried to pursue.

Quote of the day

"A dead celebrity can't walk down the street without meeting a million best buddies he never met in real life." 

(Chuck Palahniuk - Rant)

The dead keep on walking

I really am enjoying this.

Cops and deadheads

Well, I had a long weekend, I drank massive amounts of alcohol, another hangover, another hangover -movie, something very easy on my mind and soul. I remember liking this back then some ages ago, when I was younger, it deals with satanic issues, that was cool way back when. Like I expected, beautiful memory was shattered, the movie is garbage.

I felt shitty after the film, wasting an hour and half ain’t my idea of fun, that’s why this weird logic compelled me to watch another movie and everything would be allright again. So, I saw this one:

Of course, it was utter garbage as well, don’t know what Romero was thinking.

Update

The past week, I was mostly listening to:

Quote of the day

“I’ve been bawled out, balled up, held up, held down, hung up, bulldozed, blackjacked, walked on, cheated, squeezed and mooched; stuck for war tax, excess profits tax, sales tax, dog tax, and syntax. Liberty Bonds, baby bonds, and the bonds of matrimony, Red Cross, Blue Cross, and the double cross; I’ve worked like hell, worked others like hell, have got drunk and got others drunk, lost all I had, and now because I won’t spend or lend what little I earn, beg, borrow or steal, I’ve been cursed, discussed, boycotted, talked to, talked about, lied to, lied about, worked over, pushed under, robbed, and damned near ruined. The only reason I’m sticking around now is to see WHAT THE HELL IS NEXT?” 

(Mr. Watkins – husband to Mrs. Watkins and the owner of a dog named White Fong a.k.a. Bill – Blue Highways)

Beaten up by life

Like so often, in a vexing case of hangover, you want to see something easy, something lightweight. So I picked up this fucker. Exactly what I was looking for, not too goofy, but cool sit-on-your-arse no-brainer. Also, I have a thing for American small town movies - this one depicts a small fishing town of Montauk, Long Island. Behind a stupid cover and silly name, Paperman was an ok a movie and had a more in-depth feel to it than I expected.

De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté

One of those movies that hasn’t anything particularly annoying or downright wrong in ‘em, but then again, you can’t be too jazzed about it either.

Quote of the day

“The perception of the possibility of greatness of myself has always been followed by the desire to murder the nearest unworthy.” 

(Norman Mailer)

Godawful whore

Thought of starting a day with a little dose of laughter. It this movie was supposed to be a comedy, I didn’t laugh, not once. If it was a drama, didn’t care one way or the other.

Train kept-A-rollin'

It's not exactly whiskey, but gotta get some.

Quote of the day

“And what a day it had been so far: a client! Bullets for my gun! Five dollars! And best of all, a dead landlady!” 

(Richard Brautigan – Dreaming Of Babylon)

Lookit him quiver like a little sissy

A solid, intriguing thriller from the son of Elmore Leonard.

In limbo

This Nolan guy sure knows how to shoot a movie, it all looks swell, spectacular and what-not, but I wouldn’t mind the writing be a little more challenging.

A bloke with a cat

Alongside the Dude, probably the coolest sleuth in fiction.

Update

The past week, I was mostly listening to:

Quote of the day

“I’m sorry I said you were shit and I was champagne.” 

(Andy - Life During Wartime)

Controlled madness

Coolest motherfucker of the world of Heavy Metal and Rock and Roll.

Life full of nothing

Better than your average a movie. Beautifully structured, scripted and acted, however wasn’t really such a five-star fucker that’s been advertised practically everywhere. A twist of some sort in the end helped hell of a lot.

Quote Of The Day

"Please tweet and annoy the world. I've discovered how fucking easy that is. ROFLAW. (Rolling on the floor laughing and wanking.)"

(Ricky Gervais)

All dead do not enter

Never been much of a comic book addict, not in my adult years at least. Decided to pick up this one though because of the television show based on it. Haven’t seen the show, mind you, but according to people who have, it’s supposed to be something of a coolest motherfucker out there.

Born a perv, he’ll die a perv

 

Solid, good film making, slow-moving yet not boring. Perhaps ain’t quite there in Todd Solondz’s best works, but his quirky scripts with loads of snappy one-liners go a long way.

There are things that have to be forgotten if you want to go on living

 

Don’t know whether I liked this or not. Read the Jim Thompson book some 20 years ago, the movie doesn’t beat that for sure and otherwise too, it was a bit of a boring fucker to be honest. It was shockingly brutal couple of times and, sadly, strangely perhaps, those two times were the highlights. Never liked the lead actor Casey Affleck much, he mumbles, almost whispers, or whines, a lot - should get a voice coach or something.

And now I am God

  

 

Watched this today, a pretty good movie to start a day with, wasn’t earth-shattering an experience, but liked the concept of the film. Based on Craig Harrison’s novel and unravels the idea of being the sole living being on earth. I once toyed with the same idea myself, wrote the beginnings of a movie script of sort, it didn't came out anything of course.

2011

It's 1st of January, 2011. Far out. 

Didn't celebrate the new year. But still, I had a few glasses of whiskey, red wine and beer - and I played poker and won a few pennies in the end. If I think about it, it was a dull motherfucker, the whole night, I probably was too drunk to remember anything, but I had written down on a notepad that Reverend Bizarre's "For You Who Walk In The Land Of Shadows" and Robert Plant & The Great Sensation's "The Enchanter" are tunes of some serious caliber. 

2010

Nuthin’ else to do really, so I could just type up the favourites of mine of the year 2010. Don’t know about anything else but the music - read some books, didn’t finish some books, don’t know, might as well say that Stephen King’s “Under The Dome” was the most peculiar one of the lot, yes, that was truly a great read. The Ozzy Osbourne biography was entertaining enough to be mentioned, so there. It started out great, kinda lost its momentum somewhere along the line. I could say the same thing about the Turbonegro book, tho it was worse in writing, in style and, hell, in action. The latest Jeffery Deaver novel “The Burning Wire” was rather disappoing, I however read everything that guy writes. I’m now reading a Nick Cave novel, what’s it called, the Bunny book, I’m also leafing thru Mark Carwardine’s and Stephen Fry’s “Last Change To See”, their TV show with the same monicker was awesome and then some. I forgot, I also am reading Karl Marlantes’ “Matterhorn”, novel based on the Vietnam war, I’m somewhere in the 100 page mark and it’s alright, possibly too many characters to remember to my liking, but thumbs up anyway. Besides music, and books yes, what else is there to make mark of when years go by. I don’t talk about social relations, because it’s a bit of a bore to talk about any of that stuff and it’s not your fucking business anyway. Cats? Could talk about them because they are super funny little fuckers and the best there is, but nah. Movies then - ah, I don’t know, most of the new movies I saw this year were rubbish. As a matter of fact, I only saw 6 movies that were officially made in 2010 and two stand out, namely; The Ghost Writer (Polanski) and Shutter Island (Scorsese). Haven’t seen much, actually I have, but not enough of that brand new stuff, in cinemas stuff. I have watched over 200 movies this year, I have this computer program where I type up all the movies I see, so I just checked how many movies I've seen thus far this year, did a quick calculation in my head and got there somewhere in the 200 mark. The last movie I added was Pandorium, watched in today, it was alright, something like three stars worth, maybe two and a half, it wasn't that good to be honest. But music, it was, has been, a good year musically. Everyone else say otherwise, but you can let them suffer in their shitty little lives, they are stupid and they are wrong. You haven’t heard songs like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s “Beat The Devils Tattoo” or Black Magic Six’s “Doomsday Bound” or Neil Young’s “Hitchhiker” ever before, that’s a fucken fact. I really am meticulous when it comes to listening music these days, I take my time, I’m still on the process of listening to lots and lots of new stuff. For instance, Wino’s “Adrift” and Impaled Nazarene’s “Road To The Octagon” and Motörhead “The Wörld Is Yours”, even Immolation’s “Majesty And Decay”, I probably haven’t heard all them songs yet, but I can tell they are all bloody marvelous records man. If they are the best, the top 10 material, I don’t know, don’t care. It’s possible, pretty likely, the best one is Grinderman’s “Grinderman 2”, but anyway I’ll now make a list, the best of 2010 (music), down below, in disorder:
Interment - Into The Crypts Of Blasphemy
Robert Plant - Band Of Joy
Sweatmaster - Dig Up The Knife

Ghost - Opus Eponymous

Melechesh - The Epigenesis

Autopsy - The Tomb Within

Black Magic Six - Doomsday Bound

Motörhead - The Wörld Is Yours

Neil Young - Le Noise

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Beat The Devil's Tattoo

Burzum - Belus

Dundertåget - Dom Feta Åren Är Förbi

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Hawk

Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones

Monster Magnet - Mastermind

Black Breath - Heavy Breathing

Darkthrone - Circle The Wagons

Cathedral - The Guessing Game

Impaled Nazarene - Road To The Octagon

Grinderman - Grinderman 2

Roky Erickson - True Love Cast Of All Evil

Immolation - Majesty And Decay

Viikate - Eräs Kaunis Päivä

Danko Jones - Below The Belt

Grand Magus - Hammer Of The North

Wino - Adrift
That's about it, still waiting to hear Watain's "Lawless Darkness", Disgrace's "Hammer & Nails" and Circle's Rautatie."

I am fast and I am back. Played poker. Lost. Drank red wine. Drunk. 

Nurnberg

It's 2009, somewhere there, haven't posted shit since ages (I guess). Don't fucken know how I got here back again, I think I googled something and there I was. But anyways, checked out some old texts and there were some comments and just for the fuck of it, read 'em through. Some guy from Nurnberg wanted me to delete his name from my "scene" -post, and I did, ok.

So there, you, guy from Nurnberg, you´re deleted. Take care.

update

A slight case of hangover, 'rying to figure out what's cookin'. Obviously nothing much.

I'm back

Or then again, I am not.
