Do you know what's going on?!

Yesh I am back after my night at a friends place. It was the usual movie night thing where we just hire out stacks of vids, buy lots of food, eat, watch films, feel sick and pay everything out like we always do.

The entertainment was quite good. We had:

Interview With The Vampire - I thought this was rather good from a superficial point of view. But on a deeper level, you can't just look past the fact that Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise cannot act for shite! The film has no heart, and the ending seemed rather contrived.

Desperado - I absolutely loved this flick! I WANT EL MARIACHI'S JACKET DAMMIT!! But I would rather have Salma Hayek! Hyuck hyuck. My favourite mix of a perennial hottie, ultra violence and some good humour thrown in.

Once Upon A Time In Mexico - What the hell?!! They pulled a Matrix 3 with this one. 'Nuff said.

Blow - AMAZING FILM! Johnny Depp is unfortunately underrated by Hollywood and he's only a household name because so many women want to have sex with him. I just felt ambivalent to his character. It's not your usual drug rompage story (something akin to The Basketball Diaries), this one was on such a deeper level and I was touched at the end.

One of the people who was there (SexBomb), commented on the sex scene in Desperado. If you've seen the movie, you'll know that El Mariachi and Carolina are in bed and they play a few notes on guitar together and then they start getting hot and heavy. SexBomb used to do a bit of classical/flamenco guitar in college, although he wasn't terribly good. As soon as the scene happened he said "look, that's what a guitar can do, I need to start playing again!" Groupies who want you just because you can play an instrument are scary.

I CUT MY NAILS TODAY!!! YEAHH! I can play guitar like a KINGGGGG! That's if there are any kings who can play guitar like a pro! I did something a little different. I left my right hand nails un cut and I played a bit of flamenco and it was quite fun using a multi-syncopated strumming pattern and picking parts. Of course it was all random, and then I got worried that my nails would be a bitch to cut if I had to cut them at different intervals so they eventually were cut too. It makes sense when I think about it though, cause I have a freakin' electric guitar with heavy action so my nails were taking a caning. I think I'll try a bit of fingerstyle if I get a nylon acoustic someday.

You know what's strange? Society! Duh! Haha, think about it in just an abstract way. The word is focus. Focus on a task. You focus too much, you're obsessive. Don't focus enough and you're lazy. Just WHERE is this perfect point of pure focus? It differs depending on the individual doesn't it?

Damn! Argh..erghh! I CAN FEEL IT COMING ON! YESH?!! IS IT?! YESH, it's a rant!! I would just like to say a big "fuck you" to SonyBMG Australia! On their site they say that the Girl TV CD/DVD will be released on the 24th, yet they also say it's instores from the 10th!! THOSE IDIOTS! I couldn't find the CD anywhere today and I am rather pissed off! As long as it's in my hands sometime soon, I shall be fine. FUCK THE TENNIS TOO! Because of it, Girl TV has been moved to 10am! WHAT THE FUCK?! Who can wake up that early in the holidays?! I think I'll have to get up early everyday so I can tape the thing and go back to bloody bed!! Those bastards, ah!!!

Anyway, I have some DVD's to get through, I think I'll watch Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen so have a nice day folks!!
