today's track : Sarah McLaughlan - Wait

Under a blackened sky; far beyond the glaring streetlights; sleeping on empty dreams; the vultures lie and wait...

Gigli. Who the hell wants to watch a movie called Gigli? And why the hell is the 2nd G silent? What is that movie even about? The trailer for it looks ridiculous. In fact, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez look ridiculous together. He's way too white for her and she's way too full of shit for him. I give them 1 year before Jennifer takes her gigli ass and high-tails it.

On another note, I saw a decent movie called Pumpkin the other day. It's one of those film festival movies. The movie itself was unpolished but there's something completely charming about movies like that -- maybe it's the humility factor (not humidity factor). I know I've said this before but I envy humility. None of the overrated action sequences, the choreographed fight scenes or the hollywood love story. The soundtrack for the movie is also excellent. There were a couple of remakes of several old 70s and 80s songs (without some black guy rapping over top) that I really liked. Emiliana Torrini did a great remake of the song "If you go away" by Marc Almond (I think). My uncle used to let me listen to these songs when I was about 4 or 5 years old. Another favourite of mine is "Seasons in the sun" by Terry Jacks.

So what movies do I really have to look forward to in the upcoming months? Kill Bill? Matrix Revolutions? Lord of the Rings? Those movies don't come out til around xmas time. The Film Festival is going to be on in September. I suppose I have that to look forward to. Wanda and Sidekick Sonia have already bought tickets and are going to accompany me to the film festival. Yay threesome! Don't worry...there's plenty of Shaky to go around :P
