Pacificapocalypse

Ok, look, I’m all for activism, social change, inclusiveness and public demonstration, but this is just plain stupid.

From today’s issue of the San Francisco Bay Guardian in the Alerts section:

Freeze and chant? It’s like the joke when the robber stick the gun in the victims face and says “Don’t move! Put your hands up!” “So wait, do I not move or do I put my hands up?” And I *despise* flash mobs and their associated nonsense; they’re annoying and no longer the unique occurrence they were once upon a time. That time was a Tuesday afternoon, for about 20 minutes, in late 2002. Just ask this girl if they’re still a good idea.
These guys need to take a clue from Improv Everywhere.
Now they know how to do a public scene.

REPO! The Genetic Opera
Saw this on Comcast previews a few months back and it’s stuck with me.
Now I see it’s starting to build a buzz. Looks wacky; a musical sci-fi splatter fest?
What’s not to like?
And from the above still pic: BOOBIES! YAY!
Opens November 7.
Maybe.

We Watch Movies: WALL-E

Magnificent. Outstanding. Masterpiece. Perfect. Incredible.

These are the words I *might* use to describe WALL-E.

But I’m speechless
There are going to be many glowing reviews of this movie, and for me to even try and match the eloquence of people that actually write about movies for a living would be ludicrous.

I’ll just say that Pixar haven’t raised the bar; they’ve launched it into orbit.

Go see this movie.
