Everybody Sing Along

The man stayed late again, at work. That was nice because I made a mess of paper things during the day whilst I was waiting around to go to work (Hells yes I scrapbook! I live in Utah, what do you think I do with my spare time). I was able to clean that, fold laundry and do a few other things. I rented a few movies on the way home. I am not afraid of “Independent Film” and most often seek them out, thus, the reason for this post. Last Days was one of these “indie films”. The cover had a look alike of Curt Cobain and it was “inspired” by his last days before he killed himself so of course I was ALL about renting it. Can I tell you how BAD this sucked? Seriously I could tell by the first 10 min. how bad this was going to be and yet I didn’t turn it off. It was like watching a train wreck, and there were no surviors. Can you judge a movie by the lead character in a slip dress? I say yes. By the time the other two males in the movie showed up, JUST to make out(WITH EACH OTHER) I wanted to stab my eyes out with a dull object, and then be pissed that this movie was going to be the last thing I saw with my TERRIBLE EYE SIGHT. Did I bother to mention that this movie was the suckiest suck suck that EVER sucked? You know I am the BIGGEST cheerleader for independent movies, and if they are about Rock n Roll I am SO on bored. That is why I am here to tell you about my Favorite Rock movies that RAWK hard core. Both Major release and Independent… In no particular order here they are:

1. 24 Hour Party People-Indie Brit

This movie was amazing and had me at the beginning with the Happy Mondays only US hit “24 hour part people”. You literally are a character the just follows along the lead character on his journey managing Joy Division, the Happy Mondays. We watch the Manchester Music Movement unfold, from bands to clubs with a DJ. Bonus…LIVE PUNK FOOTAGE from Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, New Order and Happy Mondays

2. New York Doll- American Indie Documentary

This is me while watching this movie for the first time… “DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS??” and “OMGOSH DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS?” This movie is what happens when a rock star finds stardom, looses stardom, finds drinking, finds religion, and finds band again. This movie is worth seeing...if you can't rent it BUY it, if you can't buy it you can barrow my copy and then you will buy it. Bonus Material, Interview with Morrissey, Chrissy Hynde, Iggy pop, Clem Burke(Blondie), Mick Jones(the Clash)...and The New York Dolls.

3. High Fidelity-American

Character Rob Gordon(John Cusack) Relates all of his relationships to his top ten favorite bands. He is THE Critic of all things music, and proves it with constant witty conversations to his employees(oh, did i mention he owns his own music store?). Bonus Material(besides John Cusack) Jack Black in every scene he is in, Cameo with Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen, and use of the following names "Kathleen Turner Overdrive, Barry Jive and the Uptown Five, and Sonic Death Monkey". By the by, read the book, It has 10 times more music references and it's british so fun when you run across the work Arse.

4) School Of Rock-American

Dewey is a the Ultimate music man with a dream to win the "Battle of the Bands". He get booted from the band and is about to get booted from his pad when the option to be a "temp" other wise known as a sub-teacher at a private school comes up he jumps. It is there he realizes that the kids at not only smart but so talented and OHHHHH the shanangans that insues. Bonus...Again I am going with Jack Black, I am going with the black board lesson in Rock n Roll, and the Childran who were not actors, but actual musicans.

I leave you with this as I leave. "We are going to ROLL tonight to the Guitar bite, and for those of you about to ROCK we SALUTE you"

Correct Me if I am wrong, But doesn't fiction mean Make believe?

The words on everybody's lips is "The DaVinci Code". And Yes, I totally saw it. I was even though this was a book I read and saw the ending coming a mile away...I still went and saw the movie. I stood in a long line, and then went into the last matinee. It had OODLES of famous people in it. Tom Hanks from such classica as Turner & Hooch and Joe Vs. The Valcano...Audry Tatu from the french sweet movie Amelie, the Dude who played Gandolf, Leon the Professional, and the Imaginary friend from a beautiful mind. Okay so this is the movie in a Nut Shell...

The Imaginary friend kills an old man
Tom Hanks knows many smart things
Amelie is pretty but much more serious
Leon swears that Tom hanks killed someone
Amelie and he run away
Leon chases them
Tom thinks there is a code of some sort
Amelie is cute
Leon Chases them
the go to gandolfs house
Gandolf Flirts with Amelie, I yell " DON'T TOUCH HIM HE WILL GIVE YOU GAY"
Gandolf says Mary was married to Jesus
Gandolf, Tom, and Amelie go on a plane
Leon chases them
Tom, Amelie, and gandolf go to a historical place
Gandolf is a rotten old man
Leon kills the Imaginary friend
Leon arrests Gandolf
Tom and Amelie go to some historical place
Amelie is the HOLY GRAIL...DON'T TELL ME YOU DIDN'T see THAT coming a mile away
Amelie is cute
Tom goes to france

Okay this is what I thought...Stop moving the camera around so much, who writes this stuff, LEON need to pull out his silencer and just do away with the other french men, STOP moving the damn Camera, what the hell is going on with Toms Hair, Amelie looks good, Those historical markers are amazing, Ahhh it looks like this is the end...nope I was wrong, Now it looks like this is the end, AGAIN i was wrong....NOW IT BETTER BE the end, and it IS!
I know that there are a lot of people really getting their panties in a knot about this...but NEVER forget this little piece of information when you are watching or reading this...Dan Brown wrote a piece of FICTION. Some of this historical stories ARE in FACT true but over all...its a bunch of made up crap. NEVER forget that.

Further Adventures of Dr. Phil, OR Duh Capt. Obvious

Since I am changing and growing( due mostly to where I live...it's not easy to get out of here, but that is a whole other bitch), I have have found my self doing odd things, thus leaving my monkey buisness flat. The adventures are not so adverturous. So sometimes for kicks n giggles I read what the doctor that I work for has lying around his waiting room. Ahhh AARP, the magazine for old farts, and the articles to prove it. This one is the importance of Prunes and Fiber. Martha Stewart's Living has an article that tells me how to make things out of my trash, because these days apparently trash isn't just for the garbage can, you can decorate your wall as well. This article has left me with the ever needing to know question about Martha, what was her prison name? Now this one is totally entertaining, Oprah. The magazine to tell me about how fabulous she is, and proves it by giving me marital advice, child rearing advice, DIETING ADVICE, and oh wait to top this off, OH LOOK, she made the cover of her own magazine. You know in this particular issue there is an interview with Meg Ryan and the work that she is doing, which is clearly a stunt for you to love her again. How can I Meg? I mean seriously with you botched face lift, I have learned that it IS possible that the Joker is alive and well in gothem er...Hollywood. You know what I love? I love that there is Dr. Phil dishing out his own advice. I LOVE him, and not for the reason people love him. I love him becuase he says things like "You see Mr. Smith, You had an affair so now you wife doen't trust you when you said you are going 'Out"". Oh WOW I love it when he get really deep with people. I mean where can I sign up to lay on his couch and tell him about MY mother? I was listening to the radio, and heard a commercial for his day time show. I couldn't believe the clip that I was listening to "Dieting advice" and with the next clip you heard him say "You are eating nothing about fast food? that is Crap stop eating it" ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You brought this woman onto your TV show to tell her she is eating crap and that you can publicly tell her things that any Movie, Nutritionist, TV show and eating establishment themselves could tell you...that fast food everyday IS crap. Wow his knowlege NEVER ceases to amaze me. Hell I could do his job, Ask me anything with my Dr.Phill like wit and smarts I will answer it

Is my boyfriend going to commit? Uh No...if he hasn't yet, he isn't going to Move on

I am unhappy with my job what should I do? Uh find out what you like to do and Get an new job.

See easy. I think that from now on, I am just going to take a nice fiction book to work and when I have down time. This real live shit gives me a headache.
