Tomorrow, a movie I've been waiting to come out for two years is finally hitting theaters: It's called FUNNY GAMES, and it's been remade by Michael Haneke, an Austrian dude who made the original German version in 1997 and who also happens to be one of the most terrifyingly suspenseful directors in the world. I cannot wait for people to see this, mostly because we in America don't usually get the good fortune of having such an original & shocking film backed with millions of studio dollars. You will be hearing about it for years, so go catch it while it's fresh and on a big screen. You'll be frozen in your seat for the entire running time.
Here's a clip of one of the film's stars Naomi Watts talking about FUNNY GAMES on Jimmy Kimmel live two nights ago:
Speaking of anticipation, I had been counting down the days, then hours until the new season of South Park premiered last night. I thought it was good, not great. My favorite line was after Cartman found out he had AIDS (if you didn't see the episode, Cartman gets AIDS), and he's at the benefit dinner and starts complaining about Jimmy Buffett performing. He goes back and forth yelling with his mom, and he finally says "FUCK YOU MOM...I have AIDS!"
I guess blogs come in three's, brah. Here are two other newly established blogs that are sure to be awesome and worth keeping an eye on:
Blueprints, etc. - Eric Bruenner's dizzying notepad of genius ideas ranging from anything to everything.
Gabe's Ireland Travelogue - Gabe D'Amico's space used for "a travelogue/idea sharing/general fun zone" during his four month long stay in Ireland.
Finally, if you've been following the Democratic race for the White House, Keith Oberman last night on 'Countdown' summed up pretty brilliantly these past few weeks of the unsettling Clinton campaign tactics to marginalize Barack Obama, primarily this Geraldine Ferraro craziness.
Goodnight & Good Luck, indeed.

I'm probably of the Obama camp, but I can't help but feel a creeping unease about the way in which his campaign has seemingly skyrocketed on sheer charisma.
He's yet to really show me what kind of president he would be, what kind of policies he would pursue. I mean, he could be exactly what this country needs. Then again, he could have no impact at all. It's disheartening how often presidents enter office only to spend the first four years figuring out how to get re-elected for the second four.
On the one hand, it's really inspiring that the democratic primary has come down to a decision between a black man and a woman---but on the other hand, what are either of those candidates really going to do?
oh come now. The best line was, without a doubt, "AIDS-burger in paradise!"
You got it all wrong mike, The best part was when cartman learns he has the aids, and screams "MOM, YOU SAID NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!"
wasting away again because of AIDS and stuff
