Have a gooder everyone! Even the poor! The obscene rich can rot away in their own self-inclusive opulence. It's what they want! Let 'em have it.
The plan is to party hop and get funnily fun with a various assortment of things from over there.
My cup of coffee rests on top of a Walt Whitman book. It's sexy, but I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm 24. I HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR!
Maybe I should have a dozen kids?
Last night I saw The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou for FREE at the theatre. It was a truly funny movie. Rotten Tomatoes gave The Aviator 88 per cent fresh, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou received a measley 48 per cent fresh. They got their freshometers wrong. Weird American fuckers don't know what's going on outside their own phallic-based Freudian fantasies which, for some strange conspiratorial reason, are used to operate the mass psyche of their population and they don't even know that when DiCaprio's character reaches for the control stick of his cool plane, he's actually reaching for his penis so as to render control over his own masculinity and therfore dismantle himself from the feminine, which then must be contained in the form of a docile female celebrity who can bake a mean fish.
Posted by matty-b at December 31, 2004 12:19 PMI ran into "Behind Enemy Lines," starring Owen Wilson. It occurs to me that while I consider Owen one of my favourite actors - regardless of his actual skill level, I think, beyond some key writing - I can't actually take him seriously in a dramatic role. Really. I know it was good for him to try and expand his repetoire, but really - it just didn't work.
Someone remarked that his accent in Life Aquatic is a bit in and out, but I do think he did quite a good job in it. The chemistry between him and Blanchett was top-notch and mirrored the Anjelica-Bill chemistry as well.
Posted by: ben at January 3, 2005 12:15 AMI love Owen Wilson's acting. . . take Ben Stiller. He's a funny guy, but he's too manipulative. If you pause the movie while Ben Stiller's face is there, it usually looks contrived funny, or too much, ya know? Sometimes it works, but most of the time it's over the top humour. Owen just looks funny, in the contained sense, which works better on film. Maybe stiller has more of a stage background or something, or is using stagey wing-things.
Posted by: m at January 3, 2005 11:09 AMI think it's just because Ben Stiller is funny-looking.
Posted by: Tweek at January 3, 2005 12:33 PMThat's actually a pretty good read, M. Stiller does have more of a stage thing happening. Wilson is more - contained.
