Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! "Requiem for a Dream" recieved a NC-17 rating from the MPAA... Which means, yes, dear readers, I will not be able to see the film until it is released on video and DVD which, yes, dear readers, pisses the fuck out of me. God, I swear, uh, to God.

@ 4:44:16 AM By Stuy Parker

Nevermind. It's being released "Unrated" and the MPAA is bullying theaters into treating it as a NC-17 flick. Which means, if there is a god, I will probably be able to see it. And if I do see it, it will probably be one of the greatest moments of my life.

My brithday is in exactly a month, before EB's birthday. That means that you get to spend your money on me first. You can celebrate election day and my 19th birthday (both November 7) by buying me a present.

I love you slim girl. Your menu is neato. Though I am sure you could probably piss me off several times over even if you didn't try, so, please, don't try. I'll have to kick your ass. Not that I condone the act of kicking girl's asses but... Hey, do as I say, not as I do.

Why don't people share warez through Scour? It would be so easy. Use the same method people used to overcome the mp3 protection on Xoom. Have like "Photoshop 6 Beta (Rename to Zip).mpg" or something. It would make everything so much easier. Unless they have something that checks filetypes to make sure they are actually the type of file they are marked to be, but I doubt it.

So check this out, the window in my room is open and mariachi music is flowing in from the party down the street. It is half annoying, half hilarious. It was worse earlier when I had a headache and all I could hear was the bump bump of the bass.

@ 10:40:24 PM By Alli Coe

Those Priceline comercials with William Shatner are awesome. At first they were kind of hilarious, and then a little annoying, but now they are incredible. I find myself tapping my foot with the upbeat one, and then I can feel the energy in his voice when he goes, "Bust a move!" at the end of it... It's incredible, I would buy a CD of it if he recorded anything new.

Oh, yeah, and I want Molly Ringwald. Mmm.

I went to KFC to order one of their new Twisters because I had $2 and, hey, they looked good. The only problem being is that I hate tomatoes, and the sauce might be a problem, but I'd give it a chance.

So, I went to KFC, and I ordered one twister. "No tomatoes," I said. An overweight casheer looked at me, startled and shocked, as if I had just committed the most heinous crime on earth. She nervously fumbled, saying, "No tomatoes?" in an urgent voice, like I had a gun to her head. "Yup," I replied, and she wiggled her fat ass out of my view to go make my twister.

Very, very good twister. More filling than a $5 burger from Jack in the Box, and for only $2! Better tasting, too. Mmm. I want another, but I wouldn't know where to put it. I doubt they're any good reheated either, blehck! The sauce would probably make everything all soggy and crappy.

Now, with everyone hating Kid A... I might as well expose my voice against Bjork. I know a lot of people love her... but excuse me, can you find a voice more annoying and obnoxious than her wailing? Oh, yeah! You can... I think she competes head to head with a certain wife of John Lennon. Maybe Bjork surpasses her, probably by a mile. But 'sides from that... Yes, Bjork is obnoxious and I can never manage to bring myself to enjoy one of her songs, as hard as I try sometimes, I can't.

Requiem For A Dream: The greatest usage of Flash for comercial purposes ever made. Just listen to the music, watch the images. Some of the greatest stuff you will ever see. I'm gonna see this movie for sure.

@ 7:08:02 PM By Stuy Parker

I've explored Requiem for a Dream to it's full extent, I hope... and looked up for more information, watched the broadband trailer and I have to say, it might quite possibly be one of the coolest films in a long time. Course, I have yet to see Run Lola Run, and I've been meaning to for well over a year now. But, really, do yourself a favor and check out Requiem for a Dream if only for the explosive, and frightening, emotions delivered by it.

@ 7:51:42 PM By Stuy Parker

Surprisingly, Freakylinks was good. It suffers from the same problems I had with Dark Angel though. I do not like the "TV Quality" added to all these shows. Is it unheard of to at least film and act a television series in a way that doesn't feel so cheap and... TV like? They just lack the quality of films that I enjoy... Even typical teenage films like Idle Hands have better direction than most of these shows, but I suppose that's what TV is all about.

Decent show, none the less. The Derek Barnes actor can do that "Startled and Perplexed" look a little too well. Boarderline overacting. But good, started slow and got better.

Reading FreakyTrigger's review of Kid A, and I have to comment on these, uh, comments: from - the packaging, - you picked up the idea that Radiohead had something big to say, a disgusted message to a fallen world. from the doubled-up ironies of the slogans (“YOU ARE A TARGET MARKET”).

Now, those comments might not make sense out of context but go read the review. Anyway, a problem with Radiohead and their artwork division (?) is the fact that Stanley Donwood is an entity unto himself. In recent years I would come to doubt the fact that Radiohead has any involvement in their website or artwork at all anymore.

As if Thom turns to Donwood and says, "Hey man, give it a go."

Donwood, of course, takes off to the full extent of his artistic genius (or lack of, as the case may be) and produces the over-priced and semi-worthless Limited Edition of "Kid A" which is actually the CD we all heard a month before release, along with a thick eight page cardboard glossy art book. Valuable if you're into that sort of thing, sickening if you're not.

On some level it seems like sometimes they actually are in touch with eachother ("Fitter Happier" advertisments, as seen on "Meeting People Is Easy") but usually it seems like Radiohead puts out two things at once with an album: The CD, and the Artwork. Maybe it's just me, but I enjoy both an equal amount. Sometimes people don't.

Now, I'm talking entirely out of my ass here, because I don't really know the working relationship of the band on Donwood, just overtime it seems like Donwood does his own thing, shows Thom for approval, and slaps it together for production. I read in a interview, or comment, on some website that Thom was quoted as saying the "OK Computer," artwork was, "utter shite." Course, I love it, so who am I to talk in the presence of Sir Thom of Yorke?

The problem is that maybe people take the two as a couple too seriously. I don't think in terms of the art relating to the CD anymore. They're two seperate things to me and I love both for different reasons. I never question a song in relation to a page in a booklet, basically.

I don't know, to each his own, I love radiohead and love everything Donwood and the Chocolate Factory push out the door to accompany their albums. If Donwood was to make a $150, 50 page book of radiohead crap, I would be the first to buy it, hands down.

Jerwin... Poor, poor Jerwin. I have lost all respect for you. Course, I should have guessed that you wouldn't have enjoyed Kid A based on your love for Madonna and other crap. But, still, that's a little extreme. Returning Kid A? My god, man.

But, I suppose it takes a die hard Radiohead fan, one who is into "Meeting in the Aisle," and "Lull," to really appreciate Kid A. While I will admit that Kid A is to Radiohead like The Fragile was to Nine Inch Nails... It won't be a stand out album, it's beautiful in it's own right but it wont be something you will catch me mixing into my Honey/Bends/OKC mix... (Even if you will find me mixing Fragile into Downward Spiral and Broken.)

It's a great album, but it takes a true fan to love it. Critics on the other hand, will love and follow anything that doesn't sound like Spears and NSync, so that's easily explained.

No... Well, uh, if it was made by Madonna, ok, hands down I wouldn't like it... But, remember, I bought Ray of Light and liked it for quite a while before I started to hate her and realize how full of shit she was.

But, the point is, even if Kid A was made by someone else, I would still enjoy it and like it just as much. It's not the fact that it's Thom, it's the fact that it's good. I like the style of music, and liked it even before Radiohead did it. And Madonna can't sing.

Kian! You've forgotten that people are shallow, cruel, and evil little bitches! How could you? It's one of life's most important lessons. I'm ugly, and I'll be the first person to say it. But you know what? My ugliness motivates the creation of such a well-loved website. Not that I know why it's well-loved or anything, but it is, and that's what matters! Oh, and I'm ugly, too!

@ 10:56:20 PM By Stuy Parker

I'd just like to throw my support Kian's way. He made some very valid points and never did say he was better than anyone, so I have no idea what her problem is.

@ 2:08:57 AM By Stuy Parker

People who don't love and adore the pure art that Radiohead manages to belt out every few years (cough) or so should be shot. They manage to always release something that is gobsmackingly beautiful and superb, amazing on all counts. Course, Pablo Honey kind of sucks, but hey, we all have growing pains!

But, I'll repeat... If you don't absolutely love and adore Radiohead's art, you're stupid motherfuckers, and you should be drug into the street and shot! (Oooh yeeeah!)

ElectricBiscuit (at the bottom) is getting mostly negative votes. What is up with that? Do I have no fans? If you love me, go and vote me as green, I swear. Or, maybe I really do suck, and everyone who visits EB daily likes to read heaps of crap for no reason.

"A two-headed doctor walked on the water, and buried a lemon outside my door. He turned and laughed. Threw up his hands when I asked him what it was for. He sang, "Ships in the ocean, rocks in the sea, blond-haired woman made a fool outta me." Them everything went crazy, my shoes filled with blood. The water rose the wind did howl, the river looked ready to flood. I left my man asleep to drown, and ran without looking back around."

I am seriously loving my DSL connection. With Daan Systems' News Reactor, it is the ultimate album downloading, uh, combination. I've downloaded Gomez's new unreleased album, Alan Parsons Project's "I Robot" (On a whim, because I love Asimov, and have heard jokes about The Alan Parsons Project) and David Bowie's greatest hits collection "Changesbowies."

Yum, yum. I am happy.

@ 1:52:32 AM By Stuy Parker

I am really enjoying Alan Parson's "I Robot," surprisingly. Despite the incredibly dated sound, I can really appreciate and enjoy the synth and layering even more because of his ability to stretch the dated sound so far. Incredible, actually, all the detail and little things in all the songs. The opening song, with the bass loop deep in the left channel, is just incredible.

Also, the new title, "She is my laugh, I am her laughter." is a lyric from Laika's Go Fish... Which, by the way, you can download from my mp3 directory. Or, if you're lazy, just click here. It's 7.7MB, and I suggest you use a download manager like GetRight or GoZilla that will let you resume, because the server is shitty and will time out if you're on dail-up.

Been listening for a few weeks now, and I love it, Jerwin. Maybe not your normal bag but it does me just right. Tickles me like no other CD has been able to. I bought the $25 Limited Edition which is basicly a spruced up five page cardboard art book. A normal person would declare myself ripped off, but I eat it up, and it's "Selected Examples of Ice Melt around the world" list.

I need to get the normal version, too. But, either way, a splendid album, a bit too short. Ok, a bit too short is a major understatment considering how much time they had to shove it full of songs, bastard Thom! But, anyway. Beautiful.

Bought Laika's "Good Looking Blues," today, too. Now this album has me scratching my head, if only because I love Go Fish so much, and the album is, while being a lot like it, a lot different. But it's not, it just doesn't click with me like go fish. Very disappointing, but perhaps if I force it on myself enough I will dig it.

Until then, Blogspotting sucks, if only because they're big and gay! ... Wait, uh... I mean, uh... Blogspotting sucks, yeah, thats what I mean.

Dead dreams dropping off the heart... like leaves in a dry season... How long do I take it, can I start to change it, you know it's been a long long time, can I grow a new skin, can I try to begin again. I am always waking. I am always shaking.

The day is new, the clouds are fresh. Slice obliquely, stick a fissure in the sky. Clear my mind, fill the void, silence the voice, screaming incoherant. Climb the cleft, look out at the sand, unseen world. Relyimah, quieten my chattering teeth. Stop feeling this way, look out, reason is not because of. Dejected, known well by remaining, but foreign to thyself. Silence. Words being spoken, as if I were never born.

Someone told me they were awed by Violated's design... While I can agree the site is great, oozing with style... The ideas are splendid but there is a major problem with every great idea (8 Mintues, Subject Line)... "The entire site is motivated by sex. The greatest ideas are tainted by their inability to get over the fact that they think everyone is motivated by sex... there goes that," I said.

She replied, "Ahem. Umm. Are you half asleep now or are you watching Big Brother or even worse..." I continue, "Sex, love, same thing in this person's eyes... fatal mistake, but whatever is whatever in the end." A few of you, a very few, will understand my point.

I finished watching The Doom Generation over at CinemaNow, which lets you view a selection of full length (and short) films... and, uh... My comments about Doom Generation? Never have I ever been made so sick by a film. Laughing half way through (Or, at least up to the guy losing his arm) and then just staring at the screen in shock and horror has way too many downsides.

If I want a fun juvenile flick... I'll watch "Go." If I want a grim horrible downer film that leaves a sour feeling in the pit of my stomach... I'll watch "Doom Generation." Until then, I will never watch Rose McGowan fuck several guys ever again. (Never thought you'd hear me say that one, didja?)
