mmmm...

an open letter to Shari's.

I cannot in good conscience support a restaurant whose ownership does not understand how to properly use an apostophe in their logo. I will be spending my diner oriented dollars at Denny's until you rectify this situation. Intelligent Americans can no longer turn a blind eye to this sort of literary laziness. Please think of the children.

P.S. Please tell I.H.O.P. to use periods in their acronym.

BLIND DEAD

SAM: Peter Jackson must be a total fan of the Blind Dead series 'cause he completely ripped off the look for the Black Riders in Lord of the Rings off that.

B.J.: Really? The Black Riders in the movie was almost exactly how I imagined them when I first read Lord of the Rings.

SAM: Totally ripped off. Have you seen any of the Blind Dead movies?

B.J. (hangs head): No.

Well we're rectifying that this week with the first two Blind Dead movies.

Mon. May 1

7pm Tombs Of The Blind Dead (1971) : IMDB: In the 13th century there existed a legion of evil knights known as the Templars, who quested for eternal life by drinking human blood and committing sacrifices. Executed for their unholy deeds, the Templars bodies were left out for the crows to peck out their eyes. Now, in modern day Portugal, a group of people stumble on the Templars abandoned monastery, reviving their rotting corpses to terrorize the land.

9pm Return Of The Evil Dead (1973) : The evil blind knights awaken during a festival celebrating the 500th anniversary of their defeat at the hands of the villagers. The drunken shouts of partygoers are quickly replaced by screams at the sight of the skeletal zombies and the massacre is on. A group of survivors ? including fireworks ace Jack, his old flame Vivian, the town's crooked mayor, and a few other eventual victims ? all gather in an old church that is quickly surrounded by the saber-swinging ghouls.

Next week if I can find it PHANTASM DOUBLE BILL!

Um yeah. Whoever has been cutting the trailers and tv spots for this movie has been doing an amazing job. Even with the only 6 week prep Ratner was given and the fact Ratner was directing it the trailers look great and gave us hope. After watching this...damn it looks cheesy and cheap. What do you think?

Voyage to the Emerald City

Anybody feel like taking a drive down to Seattle on Saturday? Corinne, Alex and I wanted to visit Christian and Miyuki while stopping in at a few places that are just essential to any Seattle visit...

- Scarecrow Video
- Pike Place Market
- International district
- Coffee Messiah
- Fremont Bridge Troll (I think I want to go bouldering on his face)
- COLD STONE!

I think we planned on leaving at 7am and coming back at around 2am...

Variety of Movie Choices!

BIG SMASH, the Music On Film Festival run by Kier-La (Runner of Cinemuerte), is happening this weekend at the Cinematheque til Monday. On Monday they'll be playing 35mm prints of...wait for it...

THE MUPPET MOVIE at 7PM

and Brian De Palma camptacular classic

PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE at 10PM

with PAUL WILLIAMS in attendance.

Myself, I'll be home watching an western, a WWII movie or the first two Blind Dead movies so I guess MOVIE NIGHT is formally cancelled but come by if you not up to anything (though you probably should check out BIG SMASH that night). Hey maybe I'll be watching a movie about a vigilante cop, I don't know.

Ridiculously Inane Post

I've said it before but now we have proof Brendan and Paul are doppelgangers! I just noticed they picked the same background for their blogs!

Sun Run

Doubt anyone else is doing this, but if you are let me know.

Waiting for Godot

$23 (I think) for students with ID (that's almost all of you), 7:30pm this Thursday night, Stanley Theatre. Meet up at my place at 6:30pm to head over and buy a block of tickets?

RSVP and I might just buy tickets on my way home from work to save time and possible separation of friends!

kinda last minute

so i just realized that "the Devil and Daniel Johnston" is playing tonight at the cinematheque as part of the Big Smash music on film festival.

i'm not sure if i'll be able to go but i'd like to. it sarts at seven and i'll be climbing in north van before that but if anyone is interested call my cell and let me know cause i've heard good things about it and i'm not sure when it will play again here.

This is going to be some raunchy shit. I can't wait.

miyuki and I are gonna be up in two weeks, likely heading up friday the 21st... here's what _I_ would like to see happen, we'll see how much is actually possible...

friday night - private karaoke at some gracious host's home? I'm not feeling up to somewhere public...

saturday noon - chineefoo. same bat time, same bat channel.

saturday afternoon - movie maybe? paul wants to see slither, so that's an option... potential housecalls to new homes

saturday night - family time with the in-laws

sunday morning - breakfast in kits? eggs bennies at sunshine diner (I think that's what it's called). visit bean's new place while we're out there.

sunday afternoon already accounted for...


I won't be terribly disappointed if any/all of these requests aren't feasible... it's just how I envision things working out best for us. and we're the ones that matter.

Faith of the Hanson Brothers in the Hillside Thickets

While I strongly encourage you to check out Destroyer tomorrow (which I sadly will be unable to attend), there is a pretty sweet show in Langley on Thursday night as well. Langley? Where's that? I don't know, but if you were to meet me at a surrey skytrain station, I'm sure we could find it by car.

VENUE: 8 Seconds (formerly China Beach)

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY 9PM
You've met these guys at my last karaoke gig - Aidan, Jesse et al.
They'll be mainly covering Faith No More, angel dust era I'd imagine.

THE HANSON BROTHERS 10PM
Two members of NoMeansNo, Victoria punk legends. Hockey meets punk.

DARKEST OF THE HILLSIDE THICKETS 11PM
Local legendary valley rockers with an HP Lovecraft theme.

So there you go, an evening of Angel Dust, Hockey and Cthulu.

Tickets, I'm guessing $10?

You're all Invited to

so i don't have to repeat myself...

I got my response letter from Jet today. I'm on the alternate list which means i may still be going but i also may not be. Looks like more waiting...

Party This Friday!!!!!

There will be a Party at my house on Friday April the 14th 2006. Come after 7pm, bring something to drink, and bring a friend. If you need directions or other information email me: formatdrivec@gmail.com.

I don't ever want to go to prison...

...except maybe for the tats and getting all buff. This week it's a prison movie double bill

Mon. Apr. 10

7pm American Me (1992): I saw this as a wee youngster, my first exposure to realistic (though dramatized) prison life and the images seen have forever scarred my psyche. Santana, A young street thug from East L.A. who after being arrested for a break in and becomes part of the "legalistic machine" including an 18 year stint in Folsom Prison. After being released he finds the outside life just as harsh as inside. Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama to you geeks out there) stars and directs for the first time this crime epic. 126 min.

9pm Penitentiary II (1982): After earning his parole by winning the prison boxing tournament, Martel "Too Sweet" Gordone is tired of fighting and wants to move on to a more peaceful life. Too bad for him his prison nemesis Half Dead has broken out and murders Clarisse, Too Short's girlfriend. It's back to prison boxing training (one of the trainers played by Mr. T) and rising the ranks until he can confront Half Dead again. This over the top (and some have said all out shitty) prison boxing film comes heavily recommended by Sinister Sam. BYOB. 99 min.

Next week: "Charlie Murphy has a funnier brother? That's crazy talk."

There's nothing like last minute blogging...

My house (address in forum) Tomorrow Saturday April 8th

7pm-ish

Housewarming

Bring booze ... and possibly music (if you don't want to be listening to "flute a la francais" (really good album but probably not your style).

lots of love

SLITHER and JESUS IS MAGIC

Hey hey.

Seeing a couple of movies this week. First up Owen and myself are heading to the 7:20 show of SLITHER at Granville 7 downtown. Looks pretty hilarious and the browncoats should show up for Mr Nathan Fillion playing a completely out of his depth sheriff.

Second up the Jewish Film Festival added another showing of Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic at midnight this Saturday. You can order tickets over the phone (604-488-4300) or online. Hope to see a few of you there.

Adios.

Reminder Writing Club Still On

See you at 7

Dial D for Drawings

This weekend, Mariko and I drove to Seattle to attend the comicon and visit Christian and Miyuki. One of the big attractions was the prospect of getting sketches from my two favorite comics artists, and I scored big time. These are some Sandman characters that suited their styles, and I can think of quite a few of you who might dig this artwork:

Desire by Adam Hughes
Destruction by Tony Harris

Still sleep-deprived from the trip...

Concert tonight

Thursday are playing at the Croatian Cultural Centre tonight for an early, all ages show.

WARNING:
1) It's all-ages. This means that there is going to be alot more energy than you average bar show.
2) It's at the Croatian Cultural Centre. The acoustics here are second to none for terrible.
3) Tickets cost (w/service charges, which may be avoided by buying at the door) $29.55 each.

All three of the above listed things on their own could keep me away from most shows. However, Thursday is one of my most favourite bands (and certainly one of the louder of my favourites).

Hope to see you there! (note: early show means 6pm doors)

I know I usually post sh*t

but,
my sister's Dad sent me this and he works for the UN in Germany so it has his stamp of..
well his exact words were..

"I am not a big fan of government conspiracy theories, but this film does ask some pretty tough questions. (Some had occurred to me independently, aswell, such as the ability to use cell phones in a plane up 30,000 feet, and the weirdness around the pentagon "crash.") But hey, judge for yourself.-j

If you have high speed, I DARE you to watch this...

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

Sagan."

It's an hour and twenty long.. some parts are a little slow but it has a lot of cool factual details.. but see for yourself..

Ballet anyone?

Ballet B.C. is putting on a a ballet version of Streetcar Named Desire, choreographed by John Allyne who is an amazing, contemporary ballet choreographer. Rush tickets for students are 20$. My sfu ID has nothing on it to indicate whether or not it's still valid so i was gonna see if anyone else is interested heading down early to get rush tickets sometime this week. Runs April 6-8, 8pm or saturday tea time matinee(not sure if rush applies for this time though).

post a reply in the comments or call me if you are interested. I was thinking of going thursday or friday.

MOVIE NIGHT: we be UNDER SIEGE by hired guns and ghosts

This week boys and girls it's siege night.

Mon. Apr. 3rd

7pm RIO BRAVO (1959): The siege classic and archetype of pretty much all that follow. John Wayne, a small time sheriff, needs some help keeping a murderer under custody while the murderer's powerful rancher brother has sent many hired guns to get him out. Wayne enlists the help of a drunken Dean Martin, young gun fighting Ricky Nelson and crippled Walter Brennan to help him hold out until the Marshal arrives.

"When I'm getting serious about a girl, I show her Rio Bravo and she better fucking like it."
-Quentin Tarantino

9pm GHOST OF MARS (2001): A police unit is sent to a Martian outpost to transport bad ass criminal mo-fo Ice Cube back to justice. At a nearby archaeological dig an ancient relic has been uncovered unleashing the vengeful spirits of the planet's ancient warrior inhabitants, who now possess the bodies of humans with the intent to destroy more humans. Considered shit on its release this movie seems to be gaining a small cult following. Hopefully we'll see what they're talking about however it seriously could be this small cult has never seen Rio Bravo or Assault on Precinct 13 which means they have no clue.

Coming soon: Eddie Murphy stand-up double bill (postponing it for you Brendan) and Prisons Suck double feature with some Edward James Olmos goodness.
