women do have the power. because we know what you want [and it's not just sex], and we can with hold it from you, or use you for it.

something humorous... last year when i went to see placebo, in my somewhat forward centre position in the pit i passed out, and caused a ripple through the crowd. i woke up on the floor and people's faces were turned to me and not to brian molko. i went out to get some water, and while i was doing so one of my 6'3 friends passed out. but he didn't wake up for a while, and had to be carried out by our little friend. friend and i stole someone's seats for the rest of the concert, i remember particularly pure morning, because i was holding onto his hand, knowing when he was fading in and out of consciousness by the tightness of his grip. he finds it embarassing, but i find it amusing.

I couldn't see any point in posting this in Lit Club because it could be just two guys discussing one book and that's not much of a spectator sport.

I was going to say that, the more I've read the more I'm impressed with how much he doesn't write. In that there's a lot for the reader to infer. It happened to fall open at an earlier page today and I read an early part. It was, in my opinion, subtley very smart. In a way that wouldn't stand out on first reading but would if you re-read it with the information you'd gleaned from the rest of the book. I admire the authors restraint in not wanting to highlight every bit of cleverness and leaving some things there for those that happen to spot them.

Of course, it's possible that I'm a simpleton and everyone in the world would get these references straight off the bat. When you've started the book and are in a few chapters drop me a line because I'd like to see if someone else has or hasn't picked up on all of this subtlety from the get go.

Oh dear. Quite the predicament for you b-day. I suggest sitting there, be quiet, and enjoy the meal and sights. Hehe.

damn you! wish a girl had cooked for me like that on my bday

so yea that makes it official, i have heard enough people say that film was shitty, so im definiatly not seeing it now. Besides i know what happens at the end because of some bastard. give jj a whats up, by his post he is obviously feeling down.

Contract your appreciation of Pulp Fiction versus Reservior Dogs. Why do you like Pulp Fiction more?

Air is the shit!

And don't you forget it.

Yeah, Metropolis is just one of those films that you can really see how much movies can be an art.

lol, i have heard alot of things but it dosent get under my skin. I just honestly want to bury all that immature shit. I think we both probably said our share of unfair things. what it comes down to is if ya ever need a buddy im here.

ps: and no i havent heard it, yet, lol i anticipate its arrival.

He is secretly going to kick your ass next time he see's you, watch out..ha

i've hated moby dick for as long as i can remember. i think it has something to do with a cartoon about a whale of the same name, but it's too far back in my memories to be able to readily recall. anytime anyone mentions the book it makes me think of repressed english classes in high school.

mmm... raspberry tartlets and possible frames, oh my!

Moby Dick is the universe. Learn to love Moby Dick or wind up like Ahab.

Double Indemnity was announced a while ago for this year, but so far there is no sign of it. It was supposed to come out with the Universal noirs that came out to cash in on the Warner boxed set's release. The older edition that is available is not all that good. It is a poor print - with reel change marks included! - and there are no extras. So, be patient. It will come.

Freaks is due in early August though.

The new ecition of Double Indemnity has been delayed.

HEY THERE HEY THERE, welcom to the site.

I do like Lynch quite a bit, although so far I've only seen Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, and Mullholland Drive.

Any recommendations on next one?

It depends on what youre in the mood for.

Im a softy for the movies and The Strait Story along with The Elephant Man left me in tears.

If you want something really bizarre, try and get your hands on a copy of Eraserhead.

Better yet, if you can find his short films collection, its an awesome look into his stuff. I really appreciated him a lot more after seeing that.

Stinger, you know your SG pic...have you ever seen Psycho Beach Party....well I just noticed that pic looks alot like the guy who murders everyone, just need to square glasses and your it. And if you havnt seen it...sorry for telling you who done it, haha
