Ketchup? Catsup? Catch up?

Tonight's soundtrack was provided by....


....and while they haven't been the same since the first album I've still enjoyed their sound.

Been catching up on movies; recently watching 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams (yeahyuuuuh), Somewhere in Time (shweeet), Open Road (noyce), The Door in the Floor (overly sentimental but cool), Three Amigos (clllassic), Hot Tub Time Machine (new clllassic), Poolhall Junkies (constant rotation), They (good effort), Batman ’89 (still shweeet), Despicable Me (I liked it better this time around), Evolution (always a pleasure) ….

.....Aaaannnnd……

Shakedown – A new Peter Weller fave, he delivers, and Sam Elliot’s acting yet again makes all functioning alcoholics proud and looking good (acting, teehee).

Sssss – A charming 70’s thriller that stretches into the horror realm, with Strother Martin playing the nicest serial killer ever, Dr. Carl Stoner. Aside from a casual stick-model, all of the snakes were real and used splendidly and still cautiously. Dirk “IAMFACE” Benedict plays a naïve college student assigned to Dr. Stoner’s assistance. Poor bastard.

And finally, Green Lantern; that movie earned itself a Whataburger, I tell yuh. Loved it, and what saved it was the pacing, because there was a lot of shyit goin on – good editing. What was UP with the HAIRSTYLES? Angela Bassett’s overpowering sexiness made hers bearable; Tim Robbins’ made the aliens’ and Hector’s gigantically mutated dome normal looking.

Despite lackluster numbers the sequel is thus far a go, I am glad. They need to tell Sinestro’s story. He’s too important and they have the best actor possible for the role in Mark Strong, good casting all around. This felt like a DC film, a fun atmosphere with insanity all around you.

Been re-editing Sympathy Circus; polishing, editing, adding, consciously averting overkill but not without testing the waters. Completing the sourcebook and first chapter outline for Drunken Monk, got a new idea for another novel, but first things first and that is an endless suck in itself.

Have also been watching and re-watching documentaries on these fellas........UP THE IRONS!!!
