Union War
This is what I’ve been obsessively into lately. This guy is a friend whose band has had us open for them on a couple Frenchy festivals. This track is so exactly what I love. It just kills me.

CTT Movie Reviews: Burn After Reading, Iron Giant, Benjamin Button
 |
(2008) Um, good enough. |
 |
(1999) Within the first ten minutes I was saying “am I crazy or is this my new favorite movie”, and kept on saying it through to the end. |
 |
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) The writers were showing off, the cast and crew were showing off, the dp the editor the director the agents everyone to the point where I guess if you wanna make a movie this profound its gonna take a lot of fuggin show offs. |

Quarrelsome Prostitutes
I found the text here not quite shocking but definitely surprising. This was taken a couple years after WWII in Marseilles.
CAPTION: “IN A PADDY WAGON quarrelsome prostitutes loudly protest against being bundled off to jail. Legal prostitution was abolished in France last year, thus creating an additional enforcement problem for the Marseilles police.”

Have you seen this stuff?
Holy Moley. Every DVD I own is basically fukt because of a myriad of scratches. (I am not anal about media storage). I worked on The Two Towers for about five minutes with this stuff last night and it actually worked. Whoa. Who figured this out and why did it take them so long? Cds and DVDs are almost over.
Um…. Another quality product:

Morgan’s Run
If you like stories about horrible things happening to good people…well then you have problems. Or an amazing sense of humor. I certainly will not be continuing this book but I have flipped thru to see if she lightens up.
Nope.
This book is a Kafka-esque excercise in injustice, a subject I already know plenty about and hopefully will never have to learn much more.

The First Man In Rome
If you dug the miniseries ROME then I highly recommend you find this book.
The First Man in Rome focuses mainly on the rival factions of the Roman senate during the republican years (circa 100bc) and the meteoric rise of Gaius Marcus who was repeatedly named “The First Man in Rome” due to his success as a general during the African revolt and then for defending Rome against the German hoarde.
There’s plenty of “common man” soap opera to keep it, well, common, but damn Colleen McCulloch really did her homework. You’ll learn a lot about how Rome worked as well as how they could eventually bungle it so badly that even an uncouth tribe of filth from the backwaters of europe could finally bring down the eternal city.
But that’s a story for another book…

The Quiet Game
It’s Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum meets John Grisham. This writer has the voice and timbre of all those New York Times bestseller dudes, and boy did I just love it. I think I read about 400 pages in the first sitting. Damn. This book is a great ride so, um… Well If you’ve been dreaming of a vacation in, lets say Mississippi, but only have around fifteen bucks….

CTT: Gran Torino, Other Boleyn Girl
 |
(2008) I just loved this movie and Clint is amazing but then again I’d be grumpy too if I was surrounded by such bad actors all the time. |
 |
(2008) Ham-fisted made-for-tv production makes this not only unwatchable but also makes these sometimes great actors seem like ten year olds who just got handed their first script. |
