I have been gone for a few days visiting Chicago and it really has been lovely. The weather has been perfect. The hustle and bustle of the city reminds a fella that it is good and necessary to force one's self out of Le Zone de Comforte and see some isht. Speaking of, I revisited "Dawn of the Dead" this weekend (a rooftop movie no less). While the Chicago skyline twinkled and the warm breeze off Lake Michigan provided perfect ambiance, I was reminded just how the movie's sly undertext slices and dices (and quite literally blows the head off) our current state of affairs. Plus, D.O.T.D. boasts one of the best opening 10 minutes of any movie I have ever seen.
Also, I am very happy to report that my dog P has provided a copy of "Old Boy" to me and I am very anxious to see it because I have heard great things. Here is the premise - A man is kidnapped and awakens in a privately built makeshift jail, during his horrible 15-year stay, he learns that his wife was brutally murdered. After he is released, our protagonist commences on a vengeful mission to figure out why he was put in the pokey, let alone why his wife was murdered.
As for music, let's go with - J_1/4rgen Paape "So Weit Wie Noch Nie" off DJ Kicks by Erlend __ye - You might know __ye from his other project, Kings of Convenience, which should be a group on your must-listen list.
So Weit Wie Noch Nie
Bonjour, Cam.
If you're up for it, this Saturday night, my new place, BG. 244 S. Church. Porch, beer. Cornhole?
Let me know.
Dig the tune.
I agree...great tune indeed!
Glad both you boys approve of the muzac. As for your soiree on Saturday, Mr. eSwede, I will try to make it. Thanks again for visiting and participating, gentlemen.
"Older Brother Kakihara, you were in love with Boss Anjo, weren't you? But it wasn't because you were queer or admired his balls or something. It was because you loved the pain you felt when he beat you up. That's why you're looking for him so hard, isn't it?"
